    not sure why he did nothing back then, my guess is he did now cause the election is in two months and after the other story about him and the military, he felt he could not do nothing again

    When I was stationed abroad my mother sent me a copy of the Sunday edition of the local paper (Las Vegas) and I compared the news articles with the Stars and Stripes. The Stars and Stripes had a liberal slant, good riddance.

    6. Controlled Mass Media
    Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation or by sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Government censorship and secrecy, especially in war time, are very common.

    You, sir, are misinformed

    “The United States of America will NOT be cutting funding to @StarsAndStripes magazine under my watch,” Trump tweeted Friday. “It will continue to be a wonderful source of information to our Great Military!”

    It's the worlds worst attempt at "Bad Cop - Good Cop"

    "Esper, you shut it down then I will come in and reverse you.... the suckers and losers will buy that"

    It's funny to watch these libs running around bug-eyed, trying to blame Trump for everything from burning their toast, to causing a virus that came 'straight outa China'!

    I wish they'd be content to just go back to telling us all about how Trump colluded with Putin to steal the 2016 election from Hillary. Even fiction as bad as THAT was more interesting than some of the ridiculous, half-witted conjecture and spew they fill the air with now....

    The Final decision to close it didn't come until just the other day, and the President responded the same day saying he would't let it happen

    The entire year the DoD has been conducting a review on cost saving measures and the request of the President. This was one of the things that was on a list to cut
