You'll want to watch Kelsey Harkness' video and read Rachel del Guidice's story. Plus: Bill Bennett and Bob DuPont on prevention and the opioid crisis, Jarrett Stepman on walling off the Eiffel Tower from terrorists, and, uh-huh, Marguerite Bowling on playing politics with Elmo. Enjoy the weekend. |
