Paul and Olivia anticipate some of the most important dates to look forward to heading into the 2020s, including the 250th anniversary of America’s independence.

We also analyze a major story reported by the Washington Post just before the Christmas season about our scandalous, aimless policy in Afghanistan under Bush and Obama.
