Donald Trump’s 2016 Presidential campaign was all about how America was totally the best country ever (or would be, if he were elected). The infamous “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) slogan has since morphed into the logically-inconsistent “Keep America Great” or “Transitioning to Greatness” tagline(s) as Trump’s re-election campaign steams forward. Is America already “great” […]

At least once during the 2019 legislative session, State Rep. Lori Saine (R-Firestone) — who is also the House Minority Caucus Chair — delivered a questionable history lesson during a floor speech in the House of Representatives.
