The fight over President Trump’s tax returns has moved to the courts. In recent weeks, the Democratic-led House Ways and Means Committee has filed a lawsuit in an effort to obtain Trump’s federal tax returns, and Trump has filed a lawsuit to prevent the committee from getting his New York state tax returns. The court cases are sure to be closely watched. Democrats view obtaining Trump’s tax returns as a key oversight priority. Trump is the first president in decades who refused to voluntarily release any of his tax returns, and he is determined to keep them private. Here’s what...

<p>Karl Rove says he has no idea what Trump is doing with his "rat infested" tweets about Cummings' district.</p> <p>Well, let me fill you in, Karl. He's fighting to deliver on his promise and goal to drain the swamp and Make America Great Again! Trump is a fighter and problem solver and is unafraid to directly tackle big problems and even criticize DOC (democrats of color) even if they are a protected class and immune to criticism--when and if they are clearly POP (part of the problem. By the way. he's not attacking AOC's WOC (women of color) Squad or Cummings because of race, he's attacking their anti-America, big government/globalist/socialist ideas and policies and the obvious disastrous results of same.</p>

MEDFORD, Ore. (KATU) — Authorities found a deceased toddler on Sunday, and authorities believe it is the son of the Oregon couple involved in an apparent murder-suicide in Montana. The child’s body was found deceased in a remote part of Montana. While the medical examiner hasn’t confirmed the identity, they believe it is two-year-old Aiden Salcido. Medford Police officers were working with the FBI to find Aiden after his mother and father, Hannah Janiak and Daniel Salcido, were found dead Wednesday in Kalispell, Montana. Both were wanted on felony warrants in Oregon after they were convicted of a burglary that...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats is leaving his job next month, ending a two-year tenure marked by President Donald Trump’s clashes with intelligence officials. Trump announced Coats’ departure on Aug. 15 in a tweet Sunday that thanked Coats for his service. He said he will nominate Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, to the post and that he will name an acting official in the coming days. Ratcliffe is a frequent Trump defender who fiercely questioned former special counsel Robert Mueller last week during a House Judiciary Committee hearing. Coats often appeared out of step with Trump and...

The tuckered-out performance of Robert Mueller in Congress last week had President Trump in full gloat. Democrats were hoping for Eliot Ness. Instead, Robert Mueller was their Grandpa Simpson — feeble, forgetful, confused. Far from hurling thunderbolts at the White House, he seemed like a guy who would need to pause for a few seconds if called upon to distinguish his ass from his elbow. As James Freeman, resident wit of The Wall Street Journal, asked, “Did Robert Mueller read the Mueller Report?” Hopes could hardly have been higher for Mueller, the mighty matinee idol of justice who was going...

The U.S. economy is roaring. More voters rate the economy positively today than have since 2001. According to spending data from June, Americans spent more at restaurants and retail locations than expected, while U.S. manufacturing output continues to rise. As Federal Reserve Vice Chair Richard Clarida recently put it, "The U.S. economy is in a good, good place. We have a solid growth rate. We have a strong labor market. Inflation is stable." He’s right. Economic growth has been north of 3 percent during much of Trump’s presidency. Employers are creating jobs, employees are happy with raises, bonuses, and newfound...

Sen. Pat Murray (D-Wash.), the number three Senate Democrat, called for House Democrats to begin impeachment inquiries on Sunday. "I agree with my fellow members of the Washington delegation that, as we have learned about the gravity of the potential threats to our democracy identified in special counsel Mueller's report, it has become clear that the House should begin proceedings to determine whether the president's action necessitate impeachment," Murray said in a statement on Sunday. Murray joins a growing number of Democrats calling for an impeachment inquiry after Mueller testified on the findings outlined in his 448-page report last week...

The reported rat rate increased from fewer than 10 rats per 1,000 residents in 2002 to 60 per 1,000 in 2009, according to Baltimore CitiStat. A Baltimore City Health Department report that year noted that “the rodent infestation rate in Baltimore is six times the national average.” More recently, 19,869 residents called the city’s 311 number to complain about rats between Jan. 1, 2010, and April 4, 2013, with a slight bump from 7,579 in 2011 to 8,436 in 2012. (This compares to the District’s 311 calls regarding rodents, which rose from 2,820 in 2011 to 3,010 in 2012.) Personally,...

If racist Elijah Cummings would focus more of his energy on helping the good people of his district, and Baltimore itself, perhaps progress could be made in fixing the mess that he has helped to create over many years of incompetent leadership. His radical “oversight” is a joke!

I am pleased to announce that highly respected Congressman John Ratcliffe of Texas will be nominated by me to be the Director of National Intelligence. A former U.S. Attorney, John will lead and inspire greatness for the Country he loves. Dan Coats, the current Director, will be leaving office on August 15th. I would like to thank Dan for his great service to our Country. The Acting Director will be named shortly.

Just a heads up. Anyone else get any calls from 'Dynata Global' - company doing a 'National Research Firm' survey? Person starts off asking my party affiliation, then if Trump's comments are nasty/bad or tells it like it is and am I happy. I said "1000% support him and his means and methods". She then asks what is top priority for me, so I figure at this point it's from a lib origin - so I poke them and say "Immigration". 2nd top - so I said Economy/Jobs. Then she says she's going to read a list of tech company...

Establish a U.S. Department of Peace A U.S. Department of Peace is a major step in dismantling America's systemically entrenched culture of violence. ‍ I want to talk to you about waging peace. From millions of chronically traumatized children to mass incarceration to family separation at the border, the United States has no more serious problem than the problem of violence itself. And yet, even as the current administration starves the international peace-building capacities of the State Department, we have no federal platform from which to seriously wage peace domestically. We need both. Through support of my candidacy for president...

They're pests that carry diseases, multiply quickly and are hard to catch. Rodents are terrorizing a Baltimore County community. Stephanie Yelton of Dundalk called the county to report the problem--and ended up being fined. (Crazy Story!!) Stephanie Yelton was fined for "Rat Harboring" She was not allowed to speak in court and they have placed a lien on her home pending payment of fine

BROWNSVILLE — Within days of the “Remain in Mexico” policy being implemented by the Trump administration, the tent facility that will be used as virtual courtrooms to house immigration proceedings for asylum seekers is being built in Brownsville at the Gateway International Bridge. The tent will house immigration proceedings with judges video conferencing in from courtrooms located throughout the United States. “The federal government has begun the process of developing temporary, soft-sided structures to serve as MPP (Migrant Protection Protocols) hearing only sites, in order to address the limitations of the current immigration court locations,” the Department of Homeland Security...

"Let's have a conversation about race" "We need to confront white people and make whiteness uncomfortable" "White people need to sit down and talk earnestly about race" "White people in suburbia and ruralia need to sit down and look at themselves in the mirror" And it is not black people doing this, it is leftist suburban whites, that are doing this. With Trump's remarks over the past few weeks, leftists will call any Trump supporter a racist, now. How the hell did they take over suburbia (Maplewood, NJ, etc.)

Baltimore’s Rats Are in the Spotlight Posted on: February 7, 2018 Baltimore has been seen on television and the silver screen for decades, from The Wire to Hairspray. The latest movie putting Baltimore in the spotlight isn’t about crime, it’s all about Baltimore’s rat problem.The Film’s Inspiration Theo Anthony, a Baltimore filmmaker, found his inspiration in an unlikely place—his trash can. One night he arrived home to loud sounds in his trash can and found a rat trying to jump out without much success. He never planned to have his first film center around the city’s most well-known pests,...

The European Commission is taking the Hungarian government to the Court of Justice of the European Union over its 'Stop Soros' laws that prevent illegal immigration.The law, which references globalist billionaire George Soros, was passed last year, making it a crime to help illegal immigrants and asylum settle in Hungary.Pro-immigration activists who help illegal immigrants face up to a year in jail.

A bi-partisan bill working its way through Congress could drastically change how copyright claims are processed, and would create a system to impose up to $30,000 in fines on anyone who shares protected material online. In other words, the Congress wants to make it easier to sue people who send a meme or post images that they didn’t create themselves, essentially a giveaway to lawyers who sue unsuspecting suckers for a living. The Senate Judiciary Committee last week approved the “Copyright Alternative in Small-Claims Enforcement Act of 2019,” which “creates a voluntary small claims board within the Copyright Office that...
