Yep … definitely way off the average, and at 78 years old already, apparently not going quietly into the night.
As has J.D. Vance. Again, like him or not, it’s hard not to be impressed by his story. In his childhood he had almost nothing going for him—raised in poverty and with myriad disadvantages, he nonetheless Read More
