• A horrific gang-rape in Germany, a teenage attacker who served no jail time, and a woman jailed for a weekend for simply calling him a 'disgraceful rapist pig.' This isn't a fictional story, it's a shocking reality, and it's happening in our allied countries. 
• America's national debt just surged past $39 trillion, and shocking reports reveal billions in taxpayer dollars have been flushed down the toilet. Bundles of cash tracked to Somalia, and whispers that politicians turned a blind eye for votes. If you're a taxpayer, you' don’t want to miss this!
