When the Army needs a new general they don't interview outside the Army. Great choice city council.

Fat Guy Outdoors

That made zero sense, the Army is worldwide they bring someone in from another command. So they get fresh ideas, break complacency and to energize the command. Things must have changed a lot since you was in. I spent 22 years in the Army and never seen it

we have a huge problem with crime and shootings in columbia. i think the new police chief is part of the problem and does not bring any new ideas or expertise to the dept.

When racially disparate stops continue to go up, it's time to shake up leadership as doing more of the same just guarantees more racist practices.

Biden is a dirt bag, and a 50+ year professional criminal, and the leader of a family of criminals. To bad he didn't croak with Carter; could have had a BOGO on good riddance funerals. But since he's all in for democracy and not dividing the country, he did the right thing.

Biden is admitting his family is guilty by issuing the pardons.

Belinda Kitchen

No cause basically he admitted his whole family is guilty! I think Biden had it all planned out and he is dirty! Now Trump will get us all on the right path and drill baby drill !!!!! Like it should have always been!

Max DeYoung

Biden is a criminal. He will wear this failure for the rest of his life.

Max DeYoung

The United States Supreme Court has ruled that accepting a pardon implies an admission of guilt. This decision was made in the 1915 case of Burdick v. United States, 236 U.S. 79 (1915). In this case, the Court stated that acceptance of a pardon implies a confession of guilt and carries an imputation
