Public hearing set for Centropolis, Pottawatomie, Cutler and Homewood as remaining townships await zoning approval. County commissioners must sign off, with two of three already supportive.

US Foreign Legion to Back World Policeman Role
The United States bears responsibility as the last superpower and should form its own Foreign Legion to apply muscle without political costs. A Legion would handle low tech brush-fire wars better than conventional forces, provide cheaper force projection, and offer citizenship rewards, while diplomacy remains essential.
