The ax has become an important part of the Space Force’s arsenal
ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico—For decades, America’s big defense contractors have known they can count on a steady flow of business from the Pentagon. You win some, and you lose some. But don’t fret.

The whole case was eventually tossed by a judge, who said that the Facebook page wasn’t criminal, and now the former cop is suing the current cops for going after him. Read full article Comments
