“A federal judge has ruled against congressional Democrats who sought to temporarily stop the president from using military funds for a border wall.
Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, handed the president a needed victory after the White House suffered several losses in legal battles with Democrats in recent days.
McFadden ruled that House Democrats cannot go to court to block Trump from using military funds to build the border wall “because the Constitution grants the House no standing to litigate these claims.”
“To be clear, the Court does not imply that Congress may never sue the Executive to protect its powers,” McFadden wrote.
But he said that because the House failed to show it has standing in court and given the lack of binding precedent showing it can sue and rulings made in related cases, “the Court cannot assume jurisdiction to proceed to the merits.”
First Lady Melania looked glamorous in a Dior Haute Couture ivory silk crepe gown with silk tulle detail, while Ivanka chose to wear sequined blue dress, and Tiffany went for a dark red off-the-shoulder velvet gown, which she teamed with long white gloves, and styled her hair down.
No picture.
Wow!!!!
Our First Couple look AMAZING!!!!
I love seeing POTUS in a tux and...well...no words can properly describe the beauty of our FLOTUS.

The Queen’s speech and toast to President Trump

Hse now voting on $19.1 billion disaster relief bill. Senate adopted the measure in late May. But the House failed three times over the past week-and-a-half to approve the package via unanimous consent. But three GOP lawmakers objected on each occasion. Needs 2/3 vote to pass

FTC and DOJ have established that each is responsible for antitrust issues for two of the Big Four tech companies: the Justice Department has authority over Google and Apple, while the FTC has oversight of Facebook and Amazon.
Here are a few pics I did find...
Eric and Lara....
Kate Middleton wearing Princess Diana's tiara.....beautiful.
Thank you for posting that....I will watch the full speech/toast, after dinner.
I do believe all of the ladies that work in the White House have been influenced by the first family impeccable taste in clothing. Malania knowing many in the fashion industry would have no problem finding beautiful affordable clothes for them to wear.
Hey, no problem.
Don’t forget to pack your walking shoes.
And CB can just pick us both up on the way to CA.
Just got home from going to lunch with friend and taking her to foot doctor.
We always have to wait about an hour past her appointment but doctor is so nice and takes his time with each patient so....
What have I missed?
I’m sure reading the thread will catch me up to speed.
Not sure, but it does resemble her.
I’ve watched it twice.
We had our own Steak Dinner. When I was a kid I thought that’s what the news was saying. The WH entertained a world leader at a Steak Dinner. Since we had our own beef I thought SOOOOO!
Remember Sessions tried to challenge them, not sure he got anywhere.
Surly there is a conservative judge out there that will enforce the law and stop this insanity.
The dress fits the description a d does resemble her, so I bet it is. Thanks!
Way to go kids! Take you to the Palace and you photobomb the queen!
All of you looking up at the tall ceilings like you’ve never been to “the city” before!
Somehow this is going to be one of the topics at their Dining Room table I can hear them laughing now.
And Barron piping in “you wouldn’t take me for fear I’d do something embarrassing!’
Thanks,sounds good. Mostly news of the State trip, fun stuff! :-)
Thanks.
Thanks.
May our Father in Heaven Bless and Protect our President and all his family and grant them and the American people deliverance from our enemies
Cute.
