He has instructed them to occupy voting venues and to intimidate voters. Animal rights advocates and justice activists need to prepare for civil unrest and revolution.     Before the Armory came into being, I was publishing Notes on my Facebook profile which I called political grenades, weapons to be wielded in the war…

Horseracing Wrongs Chief Commander, two, was killed at Saratoga Monday – “lame after breeze, examination revealed injury to pelvis…euthanized” (Gaming Commission).
