This has become the go-to tactic of the left in the Trump era: When the president exercises any sort of executive authority whatsoever, all you have to do is find a liberal federal judge who is willing to rule Trump’s action illegal.
Senator John McCain is gone (God rest his soul) and a massive grieving over his passing is about to be exploited to the nth degree by election-bound Democrats.
For fans of the macabre, in the true-life-stranger-than-fiction category, Senator McCain died of the same cause, the same day, nine years later than Senator Ted Kennedy.
Fancy some tomato ice cream? Or how about a slice of green tomato and apple pie. Either could be washed down with a shot if tomato schnapps. If so, you'll have to travel to southern Iceland. There, an hour's drive east of the capital Reykjavik in Fridhemar Fridheimar, Reykholt, is a greenhouse business with a difference.
There are two things you need to understand about the latest media obsession:
The Goliath narrative in 1 Samuel 17 opens with the Philistine army gathered for war against Israel.
"Saul and the Israelites are facing the Philistines in the Valley of Elah. Twice a day for 40 days, morning and evening, Goliath, the champion of the Philistines, comes out between the lines and challenges the Israelites to send out a champion of their own to decide the outcome in single combat, but Saul is afraid. David, bringing food for his elder brothers, hears that Goliath has defied the armies of God and of the reward from Saul to the one who defeats him, and accepts the challenge. Saul reluctantly agrees and offers his armor, which David declines, taking only his staff, sling and five stones from a brook."
WASHINGTON, D.C. — After a long, slow climb following the Great Recession, the U.S. economy is finally thriving again.
Thanks largely to tax and regulatory reform, wages and take-home pay are higher, employment has risen and the consumers who drive the economy are confident.
Things are so good that at the National Retail Federation, we have increased our economic forecast for 2018, predicting retail sales will grow at least 4.5 percent over 2017 rather than the range of 3.8 percent to 4.4 percent we predicted earlier this year.
President Trump will commute former Illinois Governor Rod "Blago" Blagojevich's prison sentence in time for Blago to be home for Christmas, after 6-plus years in the Federal Correctional Institution at Englewood, Colorado.
When it happens, the reaction from the two major newspapers in Chicago is predictable. The Chicago Tribune and the Sun Times, but particularly the "Trib," will be apoplectic. Hints to that response have surfaced.
In our nation’s history, only two U.S. Presidents have been impeached by the House of Representatives: Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. Both remained in office, surviving a trial in the U.S. Senate. Of course, President Richard Nixon resigned before he would have surely faced impeachment and removal from office.
Americans and their freedom-loving friends worldwide won’t be sleeping well between now and November 6 Midterms.
While far too many already asleep at the switch see these Midterms as just another election, millions of patriots tossing restlessly in their sleep, see these Midterms for what they really are: a chance for Democrats in exile to regain power by getting even with the 63 million-plus people who cast their votes for Donald Trump—and not Hillary Clinton.
There are a lot of people who defend Jeff Sessions and keep saying things like, 'just trust Sessions'. Well, I did trust Sessions, but he hasn't done anything since he took office that would make me want to continue trusting him. The President has even lost trust in Sessions. In an interview on Fox News Channel, President Trump said the attorney general “never took control of the Justice Department.” Shortly after the President’s remark aired, Sessions issued a statement that said:
In United Nations circles, Kofi Annan’s death last Saturday is being mourned in terms more befitting a saint than a former secretary general. Ted Turner’s U.N. Foundation eulogized him as “a fearless champion for the powerless.” Departing human rights commissioner Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein called him “humanity’s best example.” Current U.N. secretary general António Guterres tells us he was a “a guiding force for good” and a leader of “matchless dignity and determination.” He added, “In many ways, Kofi Annan was the United Nations.”
To be Trump you have to be strong, very strong. You have to know how to translate a vision into reality and how to turn a problem into a challenge. You have to know yourself as well as your enemies. A great leader must know what has to be done and cannot be deterred by convention.
Although gardening dates to Neolithic times, notes Edward Hyams in his classic A History of Garden and Gardening (1971), ornamental gardening is a product of urban civilization. The first makers of those gardens were ancient Mesopotamians, he says, in the 'land between the rivers.'
Poor Canadian Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer doesn’t seem to get who the real enemy is.
Scheer seems to think the enemy is the independent Rebel Media, rather than the left-leaning, Liberal loving, taxpayer-subsidized Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC television), and now independent former Conservative Maxime Bernier who launched his own party right during the Conservative Convention in Halifax on Thursday.
I wasn't surprised to learn that Michael Cohen, who said he would "take a bullet" for Trump, snuggled up in Mueller's lap, and it was no surprise that Omarosa, a supposed friend and supporter, tried to capitalize on her association with the President. When you're well off, like Donald Trump, you have literally dozens of friends and supporters. However, when the chips are down, and you need friends, it's usually hard to find one. If you have a friend who will stand by you no matter what, you are blessed because the world is full of fair weather friends, schemers and users.
California State Sen. Joel Anderson (R-El Cajon) was accused last week by Stephanie Roberson, a female lobbyist for the California Nurses Association, a labor union, of threatening to "# slap" her and harassing her at a Capitol-area bar last week, several news outlets reported this week.
Anderson is now facing a legislative investigation by the Senate Rules Committee.
How does that news grab you: New research suggests evolution might favor 'survival of the laziest.'
That's what I call important news!
If you spend all your time watching, studying, and analyzing politics, it’s easy to start thinking that the stuff you care about is the stuff everyone cares about. That’s just a normal side effect of life in the political bubble. Whether you love Trump or hate him, it’s easy to assume the outrage you’re feeling is being experienced everywhere.
