I am arguing with a liberal (yes I know its futile) I think Obama did this Australia refugee deal just to mess trump up after he left, but that could only be the case if the turnbull refugee deal was AFTER the election. All I can find in the news is that it was November. Not the exact date. Anybody got a date and a link on that? thanks in advance.

Rex Tillerson's speech to assembled employees at the US State Department. He noted that his wife said in urging him to accept the nomination that "Your career until now has been a 41 year training program for this job." https://www.facebook.com/newshour/videos/10155043859978675/

Milo's event was cancelled, and he is off the property. They have toppled barricades, smashed windows, a big fire, and are cheering and burning American flags. They are setting off firecrackers and fireworks. A tree caught on fire. They are of course protesting Trump and chanting, "No KKK, No Fascist USA, No Trump!" They have signs that say "Resist!" and "This is War!" The police asked them to leave, but they are sticking around, and the crowd is growing. They are cheering because they stopped Milo.

Neil Gorsuch is the first member of his family chosen for a seat on the Supreme Court, but he isn’t the only Gorsuch nominated by a U.S. president to a key government post. His mother, Anne Gorsuch, served as President Ronald Reagan’s first Environmental Protection Agency administrator and the first female leader in the agency’s history. But her short, tumultuous tenure was marked by sharp budget cuts, rifts with career EPA employees, a steep decline in cases filed against polluters and a scandal over the mismanagement of the Superfund cleanup program that ultimately led to her resignation in 1983. Anne...

I knew that would get your attention! So, tonight I'm a fly on the wall at the United Way of York County (PA)Campaign Victory Celebration, watching the "lucky" donors whittle down to the final two, one of whom will receive a $30,000.00+ loaded up Harley and the other who will receive a $3000.00 travel voucher from AAA. There are two finalists. I know one of them....Lynn Henry, one of sons of Spring Grove area schoolteacher who lived past her 101st birthday, who followed in his mother's footsteps and taught in the Dallastown Schools for a long time before retirement. And,...

I just finished listening to The Rush POD CAST. Rush is correct. Just where is all the Republicans? Trump CANNOT do all the good work alone. He needs help and strong assistance. Where is it? I see that Sessions and McCain are so quick to stab him in the back. I see some bozo (fake) conservatives want to "reach across the isle" and pen "moderate" legislation with the losing progressives. What is all this nonsense???? Trump needs our help. This is not the time to sit on the sidelines and let one man do all the heavy lifting. He needs...

All the flap about Mr. Bannon being in the NSC meetings has reminded me about the Zero's making of all the various Tsars so he could have "citizens" participating in the various government agencies. What ever happened to them?

A financial show that just came on the radio started by talking about all the trouble that Trump's Travel Ban has been causing around the world. Then, before the commercial, they just asked for people to answer their poll question, "Do You Favor Donald Trump's Travel Ban?" Please take this poll at www.financialexchangeshow.com

Lindsey Graham is joining radical campus activists at Clemson University to protest the detainment of an Iranian national who is a student at Clemson.

Donald Trump needs to get out ahead of the media calling this a "Muslin Ban". There is no Muslim ban. There are 50 Muslim nations in the world. Only 7 of them have a temporary hold on travel to the USA. Here are the nations limited by the Trump hold on people from Terrorist nations: Iraq Syria Iran Libya Somalia Sudan Yemen Here are all the Muslim Nations where all Muslims are free to enter the USA with appropriate customs. Any and ALL Muslims who want to apply to visit the USA from the following nations are still welcome to...

Just wondering if anyone has noticed that the Judicial Branch link is missing under the "Our Government" section of whitehouse.gov. I went to the wayback machine and pulled up Jan 20 (it's there) and compared it to Jan 21 (it's gone - it's still gone as of today). Jan 20: https://web.archive.org/web/20170120001000/https://www.whitehouse.gov/ Jan 21: https://web.archive.org/web/20170121000553/https://www.whitehouse.gov/ Thoughts?

"Moreover, it's not simply a question of 'spectacular terror attacks;' the Somali community in Minnesota, for example, has had quite a struggle with violent crime, whose victims are typically White and Christian (the situation with the Somali communities in Europe are much worse). The Arab Muslim population in Dearborn has shown that it has no tolerance for Christian preaching during festivals, and jihadists are known to come from Muslims communities in our country. It's not simply that 'we're all scared of Muslims,' it's that it is highly questionable whether the United States should begin taking a European approach to mass...

My wife takes the credit for this one -- all these people (liberals) outraged over the slightest perceived insult and seeing everything and everyone as racist -- this is the new McCarthyism!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy The term "McCarthyism", coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's practices, was soon applied to similar anti-communist activities. Today, the term is used by critics of McCarthy in reference to what they consider demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character or patriotism of political opponents.[2] He saw communists under every bed; liberals today see racists everywhere!

Every conservative and every American worth his salt knows that there is no such thing as free lunch. And that big government does not make us more free. Too bad they get all balled up when they talk about globalism (big government on steroids) and free trade (government control of trade on steroids).

Dear Mr. President, Please recognize as a matter of law, policy and fact, that any refugee who fled to America because they claimed they were in fear of their life in their homeland who subsequently returns to that country on vacation has clearly and unequivocally declared they no longer fear persecution there and must be promptly repatriated back to their country of origin. Sincerely, (nully)

The following is what I heard on an NPR (National Public Radio) broadcast this morning, sometime in the 8:30 - 9:15 am EST hour. (Wish I could post a transcript of this NPR segment, I don't know if NPR eventually posts either transcripts or podcasts, but if they do I don't believe it will be posted this soon.)The "Takeway" program's host said he heard from an Evangelical pastor (not named) in Pennsylvania that [paraphrased] many evangelicals there voted for Trump on the assumption that God would "eliminate" President Trump and install Mike Pence in his place The word "eliminated" is...
