Smith, in a speech to the house, says it is now apparently, in her words, ``treason'' to talk to American media personalities whom we disagree with. And she says she is being unjustly

Larger vehicles such as SUVs, pickup trucks, and vans are especially vulnerable due to their higher ground clearance. What you can do to prot
