We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

Remind you of anyone?

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.
