A Colorado teen gets suspended from school and investigated for posting a pic of his gun on social media, and expressing his joy about a trip to the range with Mom.

At least one company is already pitching a plan for a Von Braun Gateway Station housing some 1,500 people in orbit.

Behold, the show that demonstrates why Bill Whittle, Stephen Green and Scott Ott are blatantly unemployable in any commonly-accepted sense of the word. During this episode, they set up a multi-level marketing organization to cash in on the asteroid-mining craze.

Women now occupy more top positions in Democrat presidential campaigns, and at equal pay, than at any time past. Why has it taken so long for Democrats to treat women with fairness? Does the presence of women in the top echelons of presidential campaigns reshape the competitive landscape for 2020? How can Trump, a known sexist, compete?
