After a nasty tit-for-tat with President Trump over the shutdown this week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) faces a delicate decision: whether to rescind her invitation for Trump’s State of the Union speech later this month.

by  R. Cort Kirkwood President Trump has repeatedly said that Islamic terrorists are likely crossing the U.S. border with Mexico. Now, the Washington Examiner reported yesterday, the border patrol has proof, and not just because they’ve collared a few non-Central Americans. Rather, ranchers and farmers have found prayer rugs. Muslims use the mats when they drop to their knees to praise Allah. Reports of […]

Today, a very important march will take place in Washington D.C. to mark an infamous decision. Since the 1973 Supreme Court cases, Roe v. Wade and Doe v.

When I scanned over this post my thoughts were –   WHY would Pres. Trump go into ENEMY TERRITORY to give a speech –  and why doesn’t he simply give his speech from his desk in the Oval Office and carry it on the WHITE HOUSE web page  https://www.whitehouse.gov/live/ where those who want to see and hear can tune in on […]

Judicial Watch The U.S. government may be shut down but it’s still doling out large sums of taxpayer dollars to foreign causes that American citizens may not consider a priority.
