(CNSNews.com) - The American Civil Liberties Union -- note the word "American" in its title -- complained Tuesday night about President Trump's repeated use of the word "America" in his State of the Union speech. In
a written response to Trump's speech, Faiz Shakir, the ACLU's national political director, said: Tonight, President Trump said the word ‘America’ more than 80 times in his speech.

Is an Albany Minuteman Rally Possible? WE are getting ever closer to FULL Repeal of the Safe Act being a reality. Every
PUSH gets US closer. There is not much time left in the current legislative session. This precludes a well-organized rally to take place. The only way to make a rally happen is if WE can muster up A Minuteman Rally. Americans will soon find out just how many New York gun owners have refused to comply with the draconian New York SAFE Act. On April 15th the state Supreme Court ruled that the state needs to make public...

The LA Times has a splashy op-ed titled, "I was a Minuteman III nuclear launch officer. Take
it from me: We can't let Trump become president". The Times only identifies the author as "a Republican national security expert and former Minuteman III nuclear launch officer". John Noonan, among those other things, works for Bill Kristol at the Weekly Standard. Kristol has sought to recruit a third party alternative to Trump. In some alternative universe in which the Los Angeles Times practiced ethical journalism, that minor fact would have been mentioned. But we live in this universe instead. Noonan claims that...

Dakota. They form a key part of the U.S. military's arsenal, making up one leg of the U.S. nuclear deterrent triad.The defense publication The War Zone said that the launch failure "is concerning" and there are "no clear indications" yet as to what caused the problems.

The land-based leg of the United States’ nuclear triad is the Minuteman III. The Minuteman family has served with distinction as the bedrock of America’s land-based strategic nuclear force since the early 1960s. There

Minuteman Health has drawn down $100 million in federal loans in anticipation of continued losses from the Affordable Care Act. The Massachusetts co-op insurer, which also operates in New Hampshire, will report the draw down and a second-consecutive year of operating losses as part of its fiscal 2015 financials. Minuteman
officials said the borrowings are needed to offset certain components of Obamacare, which financially punish insurers for doing the very things the federal law was intended to address: to provide affordable health insurance to previously uncovered segments of the population.
