Who despite evidence to the contrary has tweeted confirmation that he is, in fact, a stable genius and is now proposing to merge US Department of Labor and Education? Is this a sinister plan to destroy both agencies?

Unhappy Memorial Day

Submitted by ub on

On Memorial Day the USA remembers all soldiers who have died during an act of military service. Today, many businesses offer freebies and special discounts to veterans and active military.

However, as politicians tell their constituents how much they care about America and that they support #USA military veterans.

Why the are so many of them suffering from all the sacrifices they have made to protect our democratic form of government?

These are the sad facts and figures that should cause many of us grave concern before we hit the beach and enjoy parades.

The Fight Before Christmas

Submitted by ub on

Twas the fight before Christmas, when all through the House and Senate, not a creature was caring, not even a louse. The allegations were hung on the free press with care, and now it's being used as a political distraction to repeal OBAMACARE. http://town-hall.doseofnews.com #POTUS http://politics.doseofnews.com/

This can also be called the knight before Christmas because Jeff Sessions was born on December 24, 1946, and to this very day, this lone white knight still delivers sessions of testimonial dynamite as he continues to fight for legal might. Folks, you cant make up an intertwined story like this one. Believe me, that I can tell you.

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III was the first US Republican Senator to support Donald Trump's campaign. This move gained him the US Attorney General post in the resident's cabinet. Then all hell broke loose.

Since he first testified during his confirmation hearings before Senate colleagues, he has changed his story several times.The versions differ while Jeff Sessions' testimony under oath. The US Senate testimony changed by the time he appeared before US House members. But which session is to believe if they contradict each other, or was it a classic case of selective amnesia?

When Jeff Sessions returned to Capitol Hill, he faced new questions about his past testimony regarding the Trump team’s ties to Russia, new indictments and plea deals by special counsel Robert Mueller, revelations about the campaign’s ties to Wikileaks, and Alabama senatorial candidate sexual misconduct scandal.
