Trump outpacing the last 6 Presidents in terms of judicial appointments – by a wide margin

Trump outpacing the last 6 Presidents in terms of judicial appointments – by a wide margin Obviously, conservatives are fond of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. So far, they also like Brett Kavanaugh, whose confirmation hearings start next week. Voters like myself, who may not be particularly fond of President Trump on a style-level, have long argued that the real prize of the 2016 election was the Supreme Court. Had Hillary been elected, she would have radically shifted the court to the left, designer cases would have been brought forth immediately, and the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 10th Amendments would have been gutted in short order.

The UN Must Have No Say On U.S. Sanctions Against Iran

The UN Must Have No Say On U.S. Sanctions Against Iran United Nations Special Rapporteur Idriss Jazairy sharply criticized the Trump administration’s decision to reimpose sanctions against Iran after the withdrawal of the United States from the Iran nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (“JCPOA”). “The reimposition of sanctions against Iran after the unilateral withdrawal of the United States from the Iran nuclear deal, which had been unanimously adopted by the Security Council with the support of the US itself, lays bare the illegitimacy of this action,” Mr. Jazairy charged.

From Australia to Afghanistan, Zambia to New Zealand the world measures in metric. Except that is, for Liberia, Burma and, of course, the world's scientific leader, the United States of America. Why, we are often asked?

Hey Trudeau- Make the NAFTA deal now!

Hey Trudeau- Make the NAFTA deal now! Trump is not the bully here. Stop blaming Trump for being Trump and standing up for America's interests. That is what American presidents do. The problem lies once again with Trudeau's arrogance and incompetence. The delay in Canada reaching a NAFTA deal with the U.S. and the foreseeable imposition of U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada is all Trudeau's fault. Trudeau could have avoided this situation months ago

Shapiro’s cheap shot at the President

Shapiro's cheap shot at the President When someone dies, we expect people to remain silent if they can't say anything good about the departed. That's why I was surprised to see Ben Shapiro take a cheap shot at the President for refusing to comment on McCain's death. What is there to comment on? Does Shapiro want the President to confirm what the coroner said, or is he trying to keep the President's feud with McCain in the news by criticizing the President for acting as he should have? Most of us thought the feud was over, but people like Shapiro just refuse to let it die.

UN: Hey, don’t worry, Iran is complying with the nuclear deal!

UN: Hey, don’t worry, Iran is complying with the nuclear deal! It would be almost impossible for Iran not to be in compliance with it, because there’s almost nothing the agreement actually requires of them. They don’t have to submit to unannounced inspections. And even if they’re accused of violating the deal they have almost a month to hide the evidence before anyone is allowed to go and verify it.

Paris Accord Not Meeting Targets

Paris Accord Not Meeting Targets Climate scientist James Hansen called it ' a fraud really, a fake,' and President Donald Trump called it a 'massive redistribution of United States wealth to other countries.' And this odd couple of alarmist scientist and skeptical politician agreed: the Obama led Paris climate accord was all about lobbyists and imaging, not climate change reports Robert Bradley. 1
