Just recently, the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, and his wife and NINE CHILDREN, as publicity for the 250th, undertook, with corporate sponsorship, a Great American Road Trip, documenting it for a documentary film to be available on YouTube for free. As expected, the legacy media and the rest of the Angry Left are screaming …
