Fox News Performs Rare Triple Face Palm

With the Republican base already shrinking, you know as the United States starts turning different shades of brown, there is more bad news for the GOP.

For generations of Americans, it was a given that children would live longer than their parents. But there is now mounting evidence that this enduring trend has reversed itself for the country’s least-educated whites, an increasingly troubled group whose life expectancy has fallen by four years since 1990.
