Nothing short of history happened yesterday in the White House Rose Garden.

Stigall puzzled over an observation one of his callers made today as he researched buying a Tesla this weekend.

There aren't many times in political history the Republicans have an easy message to share with Americans, but now is that time.

Why are American towns hollowed out with no options for work except fast food and government jobs? It's by design. Bureaucrats and politicians have sold us up the river and now Trump ...

Stigall has been warning about this for weeks now and here we are.
