The answer is doubling the minimum wage! Then everybody will be able to buy a 3 bdr 2 bth 1500 sq. ft. house. while saving $1,000 per month for retirement along with FREE health care...no tax increase please.

A new flag has been seen flying from a US Navy SEALs vehicle.

Apparently the Navy top brass are not amused!

I wonder if this was before or after Trump got one of the killed? Of course, Trump just blamed Obama which would make perfect sense to a Trump supporter. Some Trump supporters are perfectly okay with lying.
