These are the possible outcomes. Win, lose, go back to the drawing board, or jump on Trump. Will US Congress call the president's bluff, blame it on Trump or do these members gamble with getting dumped?
President Trump has forced a vote on the GOP plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Why aren't Americans given the opportunity to fully compare and contrast the two plans?
Where is that amazing leadership voters were promised? When are we going to get tired of winning? Why is he a self-proclaimed great negotiator? Leading the free world should be about bringing our allies closer together while attempting to negotiate with others, but that is not what is happening here. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/new-rifts-emerge-as-tru…
The US a 'powerful company,' er 'country,' Trump declares http://apne.ws/2nynrVg
Trump vows to keep playing his unconstitutional Muslim Ban tune with the assistance of all the president's men, and some of his followers, but what's most important is the law of the land. US courts have once again shot down the gang that couldn't shoot straight. The Latest: Trump suffers new defeat on revised travel ban. http://apne.ws/2nqTdDy
Reality TV celebrity Donald Trump who hosted “The Apprentice”, coined a signature line for dismissing unworthy aspirants. Every time he let somebody go and said "You're Fired!", Trump offered these biting words of critique. I don’t want somebody running one of my companies who is going to be beaten up so badly, he told another contestant. You’ve been lazy, others heard the following, you’ve been nothing but trouble. Karma sure has an interesting way of biting back.
It may be a difficult day for those suffering from triskaidekaphobia, known as a fear of the number 13. This number has always been associated with something or someone who is extremely negative and evil.
Paraskevidekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia is a morbid, irrational fear of Friday the 13th
Today happens to be the first of two Friday the 13ths that will fall in 2017 and some fear it may be some sort of a strange omen.
Our present political pollution must be immediately cleaned up if we are to improve our vile national climate.
The upcoming presidential debates must concentrate on the issues and not personal attacks. Candidates should prioritize difficult issues like education, job growth, social security as they pertain to medicare, fiscal responsibility, and intergenerational equity.
They must outline their plans to slow the rate of growth in health care costs that threatens many Americans. How will they encourage the country to save and reduce our dependency on the foreign lenders? How will they emphasize statutory budget controls, entitlement reform, current tax policies and encourage bipartisan action to review all issues and make recommendations with a guaranteed up or down vote by Congress?
We need to elect a president who will solve many critical issues, unite all Americans and educate the public to seek meaningful reforms.
This was never meant for members of Congress, who are no longer doing their jobs. More about that later.
It is designed to offer equal justice under the law. As US celebrates the 50th anniversary on June 13, it’s easy to forget the origin and purpose.
Miranda was the culmination of 30 years of Supreme Court cases that were designed to protect criminal suspects from abuse in police interrogations. The earliest of these decisions prohibited violence and torture.
United States' national debt is the amount owed by the federal government of the United States. The measure of the public debt is the value of the outstanding federal securities at a point of time that have been issued by the Treasury and other federal government agencies.
Neither one of the politicians who have announced their candidacy for the nation's top position has been willing to say how they will solve the national debt.
According to Congressional Budget Office projections, a $534 billion deficit for 2016 is $100 billion more than in 2015.
Here we go again, folks... The possibility of another federal government shutdown, which would be the second in two years is growing. US House conservatives oppose any funding for Planned Parenthood.
A move that blocks funding for Planned Parenthood would almost certainly lack the votes to pass the Senate, and would be vetoed by President Obama.
But House Republicans lack GOP votes to approve a funding measure that continues Planned Parenthood, and don't want to negotiate with Democrats.
House Democrats are demanding negotiations with GOP leaders on a budget. They also want spending limits known as the sequester to be lifted, and it’s not clear they’d back a short-term spending measure written by the GOP with no concessions.

These letters often stray from the rule to avoid politics and religion but they rarely venture into the
latter realm. However, one of the major stories of the just concluded second quarter was the papal
encyclical admonishing humanity for turning the earth, God’s creation, into “an immense pile of
filth.” In Laudato Si’ – Our Care For Our Common Home, Pope Francis is asking us to see our
world more like his namesake St. Francis of Assisi who viewed all of the earth’s plants, animals
