UNITED STATES—Well, we all knew the time was coming and with less than 3 months before the presidential election, I’m ready to halt all the mudslinging and get the discussion focused on some serious issues for a change.

UNITED STATES—We’ve all been taught in life that it’s better to be a leader than a follower. That is a slogan that I do indeed live by. Why? Those who follow never show any tact in my opinion and if they are not willing to think for themselves it could lead to their ultimate downfall. With that being said,...
