Shhhh! Poppy, what were you thinking when you spoke out loud on CNN the very inconvenient truth just days before the election that there would be fewer fracking jobs in a Biden administration? Here's the quote: "One thing that is clear is that there would be fewer fracking jobs under a Biden administration than under another Trump administration." Although it seems improbable that anybody in Pennsylvania, and elsewhere, could now believe Joe Biden's pledge not to ban fracking in that state since there are numerous videos of him in the recent past promising to get rid of fracking, it is...

Joint Base Andrews Prince George’s County, Maryland 11:04 A.M. EDT THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. We’re spending the day in Pennsylvania, and we’re going to have a great day. And I think we’re doing extremely well with the votes. I think it’s going to be a very interesting three days. It’s going to be a very interesting Tuesday. You have a big red wave that has formed, as you probably noticed. We’re doing very, very well with the African American vote. We’re doing very, very well with the Hispanic vote all over. And we’re doing very well. It’s going...

In the Black Hills of South Dakota stands an enduring tribute to four of our greatest Presidents — George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt. Mount Rushmore symbolizes the proud history of our Nation, a history that began on July 4, 1776, with the revolutionary words written in the Declaration of Independence. This summer, I spoke before this beautiful monument in celebration of Independence Day to call attention to the brilliant vision of our Founding Fathers and their profound, momentous statement that “all men are created equal.” And, earlier this year at the National Archives, the sacred home...

Each day in homes throughout our Nation, Americans with chronic or terminal illnesses, functional impairment, or disabilities receive compassionate care and support from family members and loved ones. During National Family Caregivers Month, we salute the more than 40 million people in the United States who serve as unpaid caregivers. With generous hearts and faithful devotion, they honor the sanctity of life and affirm the inherent value of all human beings. Caregivers work long days and spend countless hours to meet and anticipate the needs of their loved ones, often facing challenges that can seem impossible to navigate. Errands, medical...

I would like to forward the text I received from Common defense (progressive ex military they claim) and the three day event they’re planning in DC on Nov-4-7. I want to make sure the Trump team is aware of them. Who or what are the proper channels? This is a leftist group to the max.

For children, parents, and families, adoption paves the way for new beginnings and provides children with a forever family who can help them reach their full potential. During National Adoption Month, we recognize birth families who make the difficult decision to place their children up for adoption, commend foster parents who care for children from different backgrounds, and celebrate adoptive parents who open their families to those children in need. All children deserve a stable home with parents and families who can ensure their well-being. Sadly, last year, 153,258 children were placed in the foster care system due to neglect,...

TOKYO (AP) — Japan has picked Mitsubishi Heavy Industries as a main contractor to develop the country’s own next generation stealth fighter for launch in the 2030s, the defense minister said Friday. Separately, Mitsubishi announced that it was suspending its civilian aircraft project given uncertainties for the travel industry due to the coronavirus pandemic. The next generation fighters, currently known as F-X, are part of Japan’s upgrading of its aging fighter jet fleet as the country builds up its military capability to counter growing threats from China and North Korea. The next generation stealth jet will replace F-2s that Japan...

New York has eliminated its quarantine travel advisory list, replacing it with a strict new blanket testing policy, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Saturday. Under the new mandate, travelers from nearly every state in the union must show proof of a negative test taken within three days of arriving in New York, and must also quarantine for three additional days — and get a new COVID-19 on the fourth day.

Stephen Curry is one of many NBA players who is facing a heavy financial hit over the next few months. As a result of COVID-19 and the way contracts are structured, the 32-year-old could lose nearly $20 million in 2020-21.

Curious if there is anyone else on FTA satellite reception. This morning it appears that Galaxy 16 went down, all channels including the Christian channels. Looks like the sat is dead. I searched and cannot find any news about this. Does anyone happen to know what is going on? Did a Chinese Sat hit it and take it out or are they shutting it down and censoring Christian content because of the election or what? All C-band channels are down, I haven't aimed a Ku band receiver at it yet to see if Ku is also down or not. Any...

The Trick by the Fake News is quite evident. It is to deceive, fool, pull the wool over and make as many Americans as possible drink their deceptive socialist kool-aid. By the use of these tactics, they are manufacturing crisis after crisis and creating events to cause panic, while attempting to win over individuals to full reliance and dependence on the State. This is the sole desire and fascist game plan of the Fake News and the Red Democratic Party of today. They will seek to maintain these efforts until all citizen's rights and liberties here in America have dissipated...

Our Nation’s service members — past and present — and their families represent the very best of America. Motivated by patriotism and love of country, our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, and Space Warfighters serve at home and abroad with professionalism, ingenuity, integrity, and devotion.

During National Veterans and Military Families Month, we celebrate the loved ones of our country’s men and women in uniform and recognize the sacrifices they have made in support of our Nation’s heroes. When I first took office,...

Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport Green Bay, Wisconsin 3:00 P.M. CDT THE PRESIDENT: So it’s going very well. Tremendous crowds. We have a tremendous crowd in Green Bay. We were going to have 25,000 people, at least, in Minnesota. But the governor wanted it to be, I guess, freedom of speech: 250 people. And rather than canceling, I’m going to see the people. Probably a lot of people are going to be showing up anyway. But we’re going to have 25,000, at least. You have a very big crowd here. We have a big crowd everywhere. There’s something going...

On this National Day of Remembrance, we pause to honor the memory of every American life so egregiously taken from us by criminal illegal aliens. As sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, and as American citizens, these precious lives are an irreplaceable piece of our national community. We solemnly stand with their families — our Angel Families — who have endured what no American family should ever have to suffer. Today, we recommit to ensuring that those responsible for these tragedies face justice, while taking every action to prevent these horrific acts from occurring in our Nation.As...
