The Gateway Pundit
Founded in 2004 The Gateway Pundit is an online news publication consisting of news, commentary and analysis. Located in America's Heartland, TGP focuses on topics Heartland Americans care about.

The views and opinions expressed by The Gateway Pundit are not necessarily (but probably are) those of The Chariton Beacon.
