Another example of how progressives ruin everything Donald Trump once said that his number-one person to speak to about foreign policy is himself,because he has a very good brain. He’s a lot likeJennifer Coolidge’s character fromBest in Showin that way, trusting in messages from herself and her “inner instincts” whenever the going gets tough. As much as Trump loves his own brain, my guess is that he has an even deeper respect for Culture Brain, the developer of such classic franchises asBaseball SimulatorandFlying Dragon....

Elite Dangerous: Horizons to land on Xbox One soon

Space truckers go space buggying Elite Dangerousmay be a pretty good space trucking sim (among other things), but it’s been missing something: Ground trucks.
