You can’t break out of the paper bag you’ve put yourself into zz.... let alone destroy the political party that has taken in the majority of America. n between rounds, Trump's an awesome president 2 Don Surber by Don Surber / 2h // keep unread // hide Slate headline: "Trump Has Gone to His Virginia Golf Course Every Weekend in October." And now, for the rest of the story. In between rounds, Trump's an awesome president. He is doing the things he said he would -- the wall is about to be contracted out -- and making America great again. From the New York Times: WASHINGTON — The Trump administration announced on Thursday that it would withdraw from Unesco, the United Nations cultural organization, after years of America distancing itself because of what it called the group’s “anti-Israel bias.” From the Hill: President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday morning aimed at taking action on health care after Congress's failure to repeal ObamaCare.The order will ease rules on small businesses banding together to buy health insurance, through what are known as association health plans, and lift Obama administration limits on short-term health insurance plans, according to a source on a call with administration officials Wednesday night. From the New York Post: US-led forces scored a “critical breakthrough” by liberating the northern Syria city of Raqqa from ISIS terrorists, President Trump said Saturday (October 21).“The end of the ISIS caliphate is in sight,” Trump said in a statement. “We have made, alongside our coalition partners, more progress against these evil terrorists in the past several months than in the past several years.” From the Washington Post: The Education Department released a list of 11 priorities Thursday that Secretary Betsy DeVos wants to set for the agency’s competitive grant program to fulfill her “vision for American education.” Can you guess what her No. 1 priority is?It’s school choice, of course, given that DeVos has made it crystal clear that her chief priority as education secretary is to promote school choice (unlike every other education secretary before her). DeVos says she just wants to give parents a choice of schools for their children, while her critics say she is determined to push the privatization of public education. From the Associated Press: HAZARD, KY. — The head of the Environmental Protection Agency said Monday that he will sign a new rule overriding the Clean Power Plan, an Obama-era effort to limit carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants.“The war on coal is over,” EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt declared in the coal mining state of Kentucky. He said no federal agency “should ever use its authority” to “declare war on any sector of our economy.” From the Hill: The Department of Health and Human Services's new strategic plan defines life as beginning at conception."HHS accomplishes its mission through programs and initiatives that cover a wide spectrum of activities, serving and protecting Americans at every stage of life, beginning at conception," reads the draft plan.It's a major shift from the Obama administration, which had similar language in its HHS strategic plan but did not include the "beginning at conception" phrase. But the change is in line with the anti-abortion stance of the Trump administration. From Agence France Presse: Washington (AFP) - President Donald Trump sharply criticized Iran and the international agreement aimed at curbing its nuclear program Friday, refusing to certify Tehran's compliance and warning the United States could pull out at any time. From NPR: Congress has approved a joint budget resolution, a critical step to paving the way for major tax legislation later this year. From the Daily Mail: Melania Trump's staff is smaller than Michelle Obama's and she has cut the First Lady payroll spending in HALFThe nation is reacting. The economy grew by 3% this summer despite three devastating hurricanes in September. Home builder confidence is at a 12-year high. Consumer spending is at a 13-year high. Factory expansion is at a 13-year high. Manufacturer confidence is at a 20-year high. The Dow is at an all-time high. New filings for unemployment are at a 44-year low. Best of all, Hillary Rodham Clinton still is not our president. If anyone in the news media wants to know how to win back its credibility, start emphasizing this real news, stop counting how many rounds of golf he plays, and drop all that nonsense about Russia.
