Thank you to the men and women who answered the call

By Art Gallagher

Since September 11, 2001, 1,000,000 American kids have answered the call.

Today, November 11, 2016 the mainstream media is focusing on a few kids who are protesting the outcome of the presidential election in their safe spaces.

And they fell off of their chairs on their bright shiny studio sets when we started actively campaigning in states like Wisconsin and Michigan and Pennsylvania. But again, the polling provided evidence that there were cracks in that big blue wall. And we listened to the polls, and trusted them.

A gracious Donald Trump claims victory but promises to unite the nation as president

While it was no landslide and he has no mandate going into his presidency, Trump still managed to pull off a victory that highlights growing divisions in the country.
