  1. Democratic party may be open to backing anti-abortion candidates who can help them win back Congress. Jill Filipovic says this is an option that should not even be on the table, is an insult to women and a losing strategy. In a phone conversation with Enrique Peña Nieto earlier this year, President DonaldTrump told the Mexican president that, "I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den." Someone at CNN named Chris Cillizza came up with a Trumpian slogan for the USA playing off the worst stereotypes or assumptions made about them.

  2. As investigation intensifies, Trump crows to crowd

    Basically, President Trump in this article is at a West Virginia rally, and he is saying that any story about the Russians having any part in him winning this past election is a total fabrication. He says to the people at the rally, " We didn't win because of Russia, we won because of you", which was followed by the audience cheering and applauding.

  3. Do you support the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)?Many people are agreeing and disagreeing with Obamacare simply because he isn't president anymore or they were against him while he was in office.On the other hand,many people agree with what he did for us and they see that it impacted us in many amazing ways.In my own personal opinion he was an amazing president and we should keep Obamacare in place for the people that can't afford regular healthcare.The other problem that were still dealing with the building of the wall that Trump has insisted on building so immigrants can't come over to our country to stay here or visit.There are alot of people that are against it and then there are others that think that its a great idea.Personally,I don't see the point of it.That's just extra money that has to be spent for no reason and no one should really have to be banned from a country just for bring foreign.That's basically discriminating others for no reason.

  6. President Donald Trump made a phone call to Mexican President Pena Nieto and begs him to pay for the wall he wants to put up around Mexico. Trump claims that he knew they would never pay for it and that "it was all political".Another current event dealing with the Trumps was when his daughter, Ivanka Trump attended a women's panel in Berlin on Tuesday and the crowd booed and hissed at her when she attempted to display her father as a women's advocate.

  7. Yesterday (8/3/17) the POTUS (Trump) held a rally explaining why he wasn't apart of poll tapping with the Russians even though there is a plethora of evidence he did. What makes it worse if that he was the first on to make these allegations during his campaign, but now Mr. Trump is saying this never happened. Furthermore the FBI have been investigating Trump by monitoring some of his meetings with Russian officials and following a money trail most likely leading to him.

  12. Trump just wont stop talking about Russia He referred to the totally made up Russia story.He called it a total fabrication. He insisted Democrats are behind the whole thing because they are looking for an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of American politics." He argued that "what the prosecutors should be looking at are Hillary Clinton's 33,000 deleted emails." He made the totally specious argument that no Russians were in the crowd to suggest he couldn't have won the election because of Russia. He mocked Democrats' electoral results telling them try winning at the voter booth.

  19. That essentially matches the 1,084,000 jobs created during President Barack Obama's last six months in office. Both round to 1.1 million, and the 10,000 difference is well within the margin of error of the Labor Department estimate.Trump's vacation, as The Washington Post's Philip Bump notes, is twice as long as the vacation President Barack Obama took to Martha's Vineyard in his first year in office -- and will mean Trump has spent 53 "leisure" days through August 2017 as compared to 15 for Obama through August 2009.

  21. On December 4th, 2014, Texas’ state
    contracting Quality Assurance Team opened
    an investigation into a contract with Austinbased
    software developer 21CT. The Health and
    Human Services Commission and the Office of
    the Inspector General spent $19.9 million on
    their contract with 21CT before operational
    defects caused by state staff members drew
    the attention of state auditors. Secured via a
    non-competitive bid process, the 21CT contract
    led to both the resignation of state employees,
    and the realization that the Texas contracting
    process is convoluted, disorganized, and easily
    manipulated.[1] Change orders for the T2
    contract had raised the expected cost of the
    system development project with Accenture
    from $68.9 million to $98.2 million and delayed
    the project from total completion in 2017 to
    one phase completion by 2018.

  22. President Donald Trump said Friday that states can count on his administration to dispense U.S. emergency funds efficiently. "We do it quickly. We do it effectively," Trump said at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where he and members of his Cabinet received a briefing on the summer's hurricane season, which began June 1. "We are very strong with respect to FEMA. FEMA is something I've been very much involved in already." Trump cited the administration's response to a bridge collapse near downtown Atlanta that forced the closure of a portion of Interstate 85. The president spoke a few hours before embarking on his own summer vacation at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. During his stop at FEMA headquarters, Trump got a tour of the command center, the hub where the agency coordinates its response during emergencies. Video maps line the walls to help officials monitor storms, weather conditions and more.

    A spokeswoman for the umbrella company that controls Trump's various businesses said Friday that the Secret Service moved out of Trump Tower to somewhere "more cost effective and logistically practical." The Secret Service won't say where its Trump Tower command post has relocated. A spokeswoman says the move hasn't affected security. A Government Services Administration spokeswoman says officials are searching for a permanent space. She wouldn't comment on lease negotiations. The Trump Organization's Amanda Miller described the location change as a mutual decision. She didn't respond when asked about terms of the government's lease or what prompted the location change.

  33. LEGALIZING MARIJUANA :

    Right as of now, as it has been for a while, the legalization of marijuana has always been at a debate for legalization. It has his effects that produce positive effects, but being the fact that it has its own effects on distorting the reality of a persons' perception causes an out-rule to be ILLEGAL. Different individuals subsiding by the government are always at a disagreement, debate, dispute, and/or confrontation about this manner. Unfortunately this is a political issue whether you want to face it o not. There is more to Donald Trump and his festivities and there is more distinctive things going on around the political world. The political world is one thing getting used to. Do you agree with the ways of marijuana or are you against it despite its curable tactics?

    TRUMP BACKS BILL TO CUT IMMIGRATION:

    Really? Really? I may be a teenager, but this man has no idea what he is doing. Actually, he does and needs to be held accountable for his actions and the things he says. Not everything that has been placed needs to be reversed. Apparently because he is a president, he places actions he must have always wanted to be true; today. Crazy. Different opinion cloud my mind when he wants to cut ties to legal immigration. The work, struggle, and time different individual immigrants go through have paid off. Cutting ties with that would be a tremendous mistake.

  36. Russia and the regime of Syrian President Bashar al Assad are attempting to entice US backed rebels based at the At Tanf garrison in southern Syria to switch sides, US officials tell CNN, in an apparent bid to oust the coalition from a strategic piece of real estate that is seen as crucial to Syria and Iran's long-term interests in the region. It's just the latest gambit in a months long tug of war between the US and Assad and his Russian and Iranian backers in the Syrian desert. One official said the recruitment campaign, which appears to have had very limited, if any, success to date, is aimed at mid-level commanders of the groups being trained and equipped by the US-led coalition at the At Tanf base which sits in near the tri-border area of Syria, Jordan and Iraq.
    So far, the coalition says there has only been "less than a handful" of defections from the US-backed Maghawir al-Thawra group, one of the larger units based at At Tanf. US Army Col. Ryan Dillon, a coalition spokesman, told CNN that one of the defectors was actively attempting to recruit his former comrades and convince them to join the regime but added that those efforts were having no measurable success to date. As US-backed forces tighten their grip on ISIS's Syrian capital Raqqa, and Iraqis celebrate the liberation of Mosul, the man tasked by both the Obama and Trump administrations to coordinate the anti-ISIS effort sees reason for optimism.

  38. Senate moves on from Obamacare debate with bipartisan drug bills: The Senate unanimously approved bills Thursday that would let dying patients try medicines that haven’t full regulatory approval and inform doctors if a patient is a recovering drug addict, so they can prescribe safe treatment.

  39. Trump is taking a 17 day vacation. As a result, he is getting criticisms for stating that he wouldn't take any days off if he was elected president. He promised this and gave many people a let down. Trump has talked down on Obama's vacations in the past, contradicting his own actions in present time. However, hypocrisy is very common in politics today, so this is no surprise.

    Trump, in a conversation with the Mexican President Enrique Nieto, labeled New Hampshire as a "drug infected den". Throughout 2015 and 2016, Trump seized on the opiold epidemic while campaigning in New Hampshire. He promised the people of the state that he would boost local clinics, help those who are already hooked on opiolds and stop the flow of drugs coming into the state.
