TRUMP LIKES THINGS THAT GO 'BOOM!' Trump delights in watching the U.S. military display its strength Amid the often jarring inconsistency of President Trump’s foreign policy, one thing has always been crystal clear: He loves a big show of American military force. “You gotta knock the hell out of them — Boom!

Donald Trump, the man who during the campaign called the United States military a disaster, who said a private military school provided him with “more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military” and who once told NBC's Chuck Todd that he got military advice by watching generals on TV shows, today praised the U.S military after the news broke that U. S. forces

It's been almost two years since veteran political reporter Michael Putney talked about Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine's "bright political future." Later that same year - as Levine was running for a second term - he again appeared on Putney's show... and told a bunch of lies.

ORLANDO, Fla. – It looked like a risky maneuver, but Cody Gribble barely even blinked. Gribble was in the midst of a tough round at the Arnold Palmer Invitational when he snuck up on a gator sunning itself just left of the sixth fairway at Bay Hill. With a swift thwack on the tail, Gribble startled the gator and then nonchalantly watched it jump back into the water lining the hole. “The
