CBW WEEKLY UPDATES

I am not an energy expert. Certainly, no more than the next guy who pumps gas into his car and notices that it’s twice as expensive as it was two years ago. Yep, I don’t like it one bit. You don’t either. And of Read more

Dear Copy Book Warriors, For years, America has struggled with major issues. Among them are social matters like gun control, race, marriage, and abortion. There are other issues also, like crime, border security, domestic spending, and foreign policy. All of these issues are Read more
