Has anyone noticed....
* The increased activity on all fronts by President Trump and getting things done.
* With the useless House and Senate out of town on Vacation, and...
* His poll numbers are up.
Am I the only on to see that connection or am I off base here?
A penny for your thoughts Freepers...

Let the Recess Appointments begin ...
If I’m not mistaken, Mitch McConnell blocked POTUS ability to make recess appointments. And THAT pretty much tells us all we need to know about the backstabbing NeverTrumper Rinos in Congress, who would rather lose elections, than give their constituents what they promise.
There was a pro forma Senate session yesterday (Apr. 5), so the Senate is not in recess for the purpose of recess appointments.
From The Hill article I linked to:
Trump isn't the first president to face the procedural roadblock from Congress.
The Senate has used the brief sessions to block recess appointments for decades, including last year to keep President Barack Obama from being able to fill a vacant Supreme Court seat.
But the current deal comes after Trump repeatedly lashed out at Attorney General Jeff Sessions, sparking speculation that he would fire the former senator and try to name his successor while Congress was out of town.
I hope you’re right.:)
