          It seems that nobody is pushing back(over the past 11 Years) at this "FAKE NEWS!" that he keeps spouting about.

            In the face of Iranian ‘demands,’ tighten the squeeze | Las Vegas Review-Journal

              President Donald Trump’s chief negotiating strategy consists of keeping the other party guessing about what he might do next. As this pertains to Iran, the president has repeatedly threatened Tehran with additional military action only to back off once new “peace talks” are on the table.

                  Evidence over politics when it comes to childhood vaccines | Baltimore Sun

                    Parents deserve clarity when making decisions about childhood vaccines. They should not have to choose between political pronouncements and public health institutions whose credibility has been tested in recent years.

                      Trump scales back South Korea military drills, pointing to relationship with Kim

                        Trump says South Korea won't help with Iran, the exercises are costly and they “send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile."

                            Thank you, Kathleen Parker, for perpetuating the myth that socialism is evil, capitalism good. However, your message is uninformed.

                            Local opinion: What leaders like John McCain understood about the truth

                            A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.
