After having high hopes for this podcast, I was disappointed from the get-go to discover just how much of a liberal tilt it had. In the first five minutes alone, one of the hosts matter-of-factly claimed that Marco Rubio lied in saying welders make more than philosophers. Her evidence?

I know about numerous successful European WellCare states, and I'm not the only one! I don't think of social media when I think of a...Read full review »
