‘Fat but Fit’? The Controversy Continues

‘This is a nothing burger’: How conservative media reacted to the Mueller indictments

The repeated, incorrect claim that Russia obtained ‘20 percent of our uranium’

Historians respond to John F. Kelly’s Civil War remarks: ‘Strange,’ ‘sad,’ ‘wrong’ - "Kelly makes several points. That Lee was honorable. That fighting for state was more important than fighting for country. That a lack of compromise led to the war. That good people on both sides were fighting for conscientious reasons. Both McCurry and David Blight, a history professor at Yale University and author of 'Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory,' broadly reject all of these arguments. 'This is profound ignorance, that’s what one has to say first, at least of pretty basic things about the American historical narrative,' Blight said. 'I mean, it’s one thing to hear it from Trump, who, let’s be honest, just really doesn’t know any history and has demonstrated it over and over and over. But General Kelly has a long history in the American military.'"

Blue states already subsidize red states. Now red states want even more.
