Donald John Trump is still your president.
ITEM 1: Gary North reported, "Walmart's Healthcare Experiment Has Begun, It May Be A Game Changer."
Walmart Health in Dallas, Georgia, will offer:

ITEM 2: The Dallas Morning News reported, "Since surviving a 1991 mass shooting at a Luby's in Killeen, Suzanna Gratia Hupp has lobbied for looser gun control laws that she says could have allowed her to save the 23 victims, including both of her parents.
"'I reached for the gun in my purse on the floor next to me,' Hupp told a congressional committee Wednesday during a hearing on the economic costs of gun violence. She recounted the moments after the killer, George Hennard, crashed his pickup into the restaurant where she was eating with her parents and opened fire.
"'But then I realized that a few months earlier I had made the stupidest decision of my life. My gun was 100 yards away, dutifully left in my car to obey the law because at that time in the state of Texas, carrying a handgun was illegal.'
"Hupp's campaign to ease restrictions on guns has spanned several decades. She won a seat in the Texas House, where she served for 10 years. On Wednesday, she told her story during a hearing of the Joint Economic Committee.
"Hupp, a chiropractor, was invited by fellow Republicans, and she focused her testimony on what she called 'the high cost of gun control.'"
In 1991, Texas had 17,349,000 people and 2,652 murders.
In 2016, it had 27,862,596 people and 1,478 murders.
10 million more people, 1,200 fewer murders.
Yes, there is a price paid for gun control. It is paid in the cemetery.
ITEM 3: Breitbart News reported, "Tulsi Gabbard, a candidate for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination criticized President Donald Trump’s response to an attack on an oil production facility in Saudi Arabia.
"Gabbard went on to argue Saudi Arabia’s promotion of extremist Wahhabi ideology was a bigger threat to the United States than Iran."
What part of Death to America does she not understand?
The Democrat Party should register as an agent for Iran.
I have criticized the House of Saud but her slander shows that even moderate Democrats now side with the enemy.
ITEM 4:
The Hill reported, "President Trump on Wednesday said he expects the Environmental Protection Agency to slap San Francisco with a violation notice in the coming days related to pollution associated with the city’s homeless population.
"Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump again took aim at Los Angeles and San Francisco over the volume of homeless people in each city. But he escalated his rhetoric, saying an announcement citing San Francisco for environmental violations would come in the next week."
Our president said, "There’s tremendous pollution being put into the ocean because they’re going through what’s called the storm sewer that’s for rainwater. And we have tremendous things that we don’t have to discuss pouring into the ocean. You know there are needles, there are other things.
"It’s a terrible situation — that’s in Los Angeles and in San Francisco,” he continued. “And we’re going to be giving San Francisco, they’re in total violation, we’re going to be giving them a notice very soon."
Banning plastic straws while pooping in the ocean tells you they don't give a poop about the environment.
ITEM 5: Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson responded to California's request for billions to fight the homeless.
He wrote, "Your letter seeks federal dollars for California from hardworking American taxpayers but fails to admit that your State and local policies have played a major role in the current crisis.
"If California's homeless population had held in line with overall population trends, America's homeless rate would have decreased. Instead, the opposite has happened, as California's unsheltered homelessness population has skyrocketed as a result of the State's over-regulated housing market, its inefficient allocation of resources, and its policies that have weakened law enforcement."
The state should start by banning pooping in the streets.
Then it can take the federal money it spends on illegal aliens and spend it on homeless Americans.
ITEM 6: The New York Post reported, "During a visit to the US-Mexico border wall, President Trump autographed one of the posts of the wall with a Sharpie."
A Sharpie?
That will be Article 208 in the impeachment.
ITEM 7: Breitbart News reported, "Left-wing billionaire and political donor George Soros wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal on Monday in which he praised President Donald Trump’s policies toward China. He then urged Congress to maintain the president’s firm stand against Chinese telecom giant Huawei – overriding the White House if necessary, should Huawei become a bargaining chip in the larger trade war."
His support does not bother me. He knows Red China is the skunk at the globalist orgy.
ITEM 8: American Military News reported, "Colt Firearms will be ending its production and sales of its AR-15 rifles due to lack of public demand amid excess market capacity."
Colt has been a mess ever since a five-year strike in the 1980s. Replacement workers led to a decline in quality that was so precipitous that the Pentagon dropped it as a supplier of M-16s and awarded the contract to a company in Belgium. That led to an appearance in bankruptcy court to save the company.
In 1998, a virtue-signalling CEO came out for a federal requirement for gun training, which led to a boycott. It also pursued "smart guns" which fed the mistrust.
Then it lost its M-4 contract with the military, which landed another trek to bankruptcy court to save the company.
Expect another trip next year. Smart guns ruined the brand.
ITEM 9: On Monday, New York magazine reported, "Kavanaugh’s Impeachment May Have Just Become a 2020 Issue."
On Thursday, Politico reported, "Trump milks the Kavanaugh backlash: The president and his aides are latching on to the new controversy as a hot-button emotional issue that riles up the GOP base."
The media should be more careful of its wishes because our president has a way of making them come true.
ITEM 10: The Hill reported, "The New York Times on Tuesday announced the closure of its Spanish-language platform, NYT en Español."
Failing in English.
Failing in Spanish.
The Times's financial report looks like my old report cards.
ITEM 11: Ace of Spades reported, "Mortifying: Media Invents So Many Convoluted Euphemisms to Protect Justin Trudeau From the Charge of 'Blackface' That Trudeau Himself Is Forced to Correct Them and Say 'It's Blackface, Guys.'"
Even Canada's leader resents Fake News. |
