While he did not rule out a shutdown, Meadows said both parties were trying to reach an agreement to finance government agencies and keep them open. "Obviously, we want to keep the government funded," Meadows said, according to a Capitol Hill pool report. He called it "a high priority." The Trump administration and Congress must approve a dozen spending bills to fund most government agencies by December 11, and those negotiations are ongoing. Both parties are still attempting...

The youngest U.S. district judge nominated by President Trump was confirmed by the Senate on Wednesday evening to serve in the Tampa division of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. But the nomination of Washington, D.C., attorney Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, a 33-year-old Lakeland native, has made waves in the legal community. The American Bar Association sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee in September saying that, despite her credentials, Mizelle’s lack of trial experience renders her unqualified to be appointed to the federal judiciary. snip Mizelle is close to Justice Clarence Thomas, has expressed admiration...

Senate candidate Raphael Warnock has the backing of the nation’s largest abortion group, Planned Parenthood. A pastor and a pro-abortion Democrat, Warnock is challenging Sen. Kelly Loeffler, a pro-life Republican, in a high-stakes runoff race in Georgia. Neither Loeffler nor Warnock received more than 50 percent of votes Nov. 3, pushing the race into a runoff election in January. Because Republicans hold a narrow majority in the U.S. Senate, Loeffler’s seat is key to stopping Democrats from expanding late-term abortions and forcing taxpayers to pay for unborn babies’ abortion deaths. Earlier this year, Planned Parenthood expressed confidence that Warnock would...

Hungary’s leadership is standing by its decision to block the whole seven-year budget for the European Union over the inclusion of new powers which would, they claim, allow the political persecution of member states that don’t follow the Brussels globalist playbook on matters like mass migration. The Hungarian and Polish governments used their veto powers to block the seven-year Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) — in other words, the EU’s budget — on Monday, having failed to prevent new clauses and rules being inserted at earlier stages of the negotiation process. While the comparatively small central European nations lacked the political...

The employment of low wage working children in the markets is very profitable for owners. For this reason, government institutions in charge in Iran are not only reluctant to solve this...
