John R. Lott, During the 8 years he was president, Barack Obama’s administration experienced an explosion in gun sales, with annual background checks more than doubling between 2008 and 2016.

Michael Brown, What do NFL stars Jim Brown and Ray Lewis, “Family Feud” host Steve Harvey, rapper Kanye West, megachurch pastor Darrell Scott, Dr. Ben Carson, and Martin Luther King, III, have in common? They are all black. They have all met with (or worked with) President-elect Trump and spoken of their interaction positively. And
Lloyd Billingsley, Senate smear never paid a price for claiming he served.
