This post contains a more detailed explanation of some of the facts contained in my post on “The Jordan Family.” The material set apart below was extracted from a paper prepared by my son Stuart Jordan. He plans to include it in a soon to be published update of his history of the Jordan family […]
I cannot rely on the accuracy of my news sources, regardless of whether it is mainstream news or something being reported on a conservative blog. I have seen many instances where information is being suppressed or facts terribly distorted. I believe reliable information is vital to our nation’s political health.
