Our citizens are being gunned down during road rage incidents, family quarrels, religious services, gang violence and drive-by shootings. Not…

Miller Hudson For half a century Joe Biden has been the “Where’s Waldo?” of American politics. Look closely enough and you can usually discern his fingerprints on major legislative initiatives across recent decades – from the “Violence against Women Act” to the 1990s ban on automatic weapons. Yet his political journey has not been without its…
