  Thankfully, there was just such a team assembled. The Raising Skywalker panel at San Diego Comic-Con examined how the traditional father-son dynamics became twisted in the sweeping space opera saga.

  21-07-2019 21:00
  
  Democrats pay lip service to the First Amendment and claim to encourage political engagement but, in reality, their desire is to silence all views but their own. Last week, a Court of Appeal made them pay for their hypocrisy.
  In 2017, one of the most hotly contested political issues in California was the imposition of a huge increase in the state’s car and gas taxes. While the effort to reverse that tax increase failed when voters — victims of a highly deceptive campaign — reje
