As of this writing, ISIS has not formally taken credit for the Manchester, England attack at the concert hall. So far, 22 are dead with 59 wounded.

Unlike most in government today I am disclosing these are my opinions only. If I was a politician I’d probably say “What you are about to hear are facts. And because

Taking this Sunday off from politics is certainly a good thing on many levels. But for me it allows me to think through other very important issues in my life without
