The Middle East is on fire and who's at the helm? Donald Trump fired experienced experts and replaced them with loyalists who won’t challenge his “instincts.” And it’s created blind spots and groupthink, leaving our nation more prone to catastrophic miscalculations. We’re in a very dangerous place.

WE WANT MORE KNOBS!
Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating.
This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens.
(Even better: Tesla will hate this)
