It was not long ago, that taking guns into Canada, a nation with vast areas of wilderness, was uncomplicated and straightforward for U.S. citizens.

If the seal were broken when the border was crossed going back into the United States, an explanation was in order. It had to be good. That changed in January of 2001.

'Nobody understands it,' he said. The 'Obamatrade' deal is longer than Obamacare plus the 2013 amnesty bill, authored by 2016 candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)80% and Democratic leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). 'The deal is so bad because...

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) said the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal is “riddled with problems” and the Obama administration has done “nothing” to resolve the issues. DeLauro added that the trade deal negotiations are being conducted in secret and transparency provisions have failed to make improvements. “There are serious concerns on the substance of the agreement,” she said on a conference call. “The agreement does nothing on currency manipulation and abusive practices costing up to 5 million American jobs.” While TPP presents an opportunity to crack down on currency manipulation, DeLauro said the administration has ignored requests from both parties...
