| [popcorn] Even if these accusations do happen to be true something which I have some serious reservations about, my guess is that Teflon "Don" will skate through them to. The left in America doesn't seem capable or willing to hoist in or accept the fact that Hillary lost, not because she'... |

Medical costs for the birth of a prince in a UK hospital--$8500.
Average medical costs for the birth of an American in a US hospital--$10,500. |

| I mean, what did you expect from Midwest Democratic Party strongholds? Again, read the article. The State government and the white suburbs that keep them in power are Republican. Yep, just like Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Vermont, etc., all solid blue states full of white people who like minorit... |

| Perhaps if the West quit meddling and stirring things up in a Syrian war, fewer refugees would be fleeing. The same sort of political amnesia occurs with illegal Mexican immigration to the US. Nafta allowed heavily subsidized US agricultural products to flood the Mexican market, effectively destroyi... |
