    Joseph W. Smith III

    Let’s face it: Most texts & posts that include “LOL” don’t actually make you laugh out loud. But if anyone labels “The Lost City” with that abbreviation, they aren’t JK.

    It is very difficult to keep up with all the controversies that are flying around concerning the government these days — especially at the federal level.
