      Results could help set course for fixing Social Security | Las Vegas Review-Journal

        Tuesday’s election results will determine more than control of the House and Senate for the two years. They will also play an important role in setting a course for addressing the nation’s looming entitlement crisis, particularly when it comes to Social Security.

                  The scope and scale of Trump’s brilliant presidency of criminality is staggering.

                          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.
