By on • ( Leave a comment )

I have the utmost respect for Dr. Ford for having the courage to come forward to share her story with a sense toward civic duty.

Now, having attended a live show and made use of a full year to digest the album, I’m able to give the in depth review this album deserves.

A former counsel to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, William C. Triplet, even went so far as to say that “the Ukrainians are getting away with taking the U.S. taxpayers’ money in the one hand while stabbing the U.S. Navy in the back with the other.”…the threat to American security stemming from Ukraine must be responded to; the U.S. ought to pressure an ally who may be betraying its interests.
