In a New York Times article which President Trump has since attacked as a “FRAUD” and a “hit job,” it was asserted that Mexico’s new…

The bill, which had initially passed through the Republican-controlled state House and Senate, would have imposed strict penalties — up to $250,000 in fines, prison time, and felony charges — on doctors who did not provide life-…

The Nazi war machine, a previously unstoppable force, was on its heels.  As the Soviets pushed the Germans back from the East, and the allies held Italian ground in the South after taking Sicily, the Germans were forced to defend themselves on two fronts. It was time to strike a finishing blow. In the largest amphibious invasion in the history of warfare, and after years of planning, the allies…

Earlier this week, the House Committee on Appropriations, long considered the House’s most powerful and prestigious body, released its 2020 fiscal spending bill. In it, the decade-long freeze on congressional pay increases is lifted, and a $4,500 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for members of Congress is provided.  This is coming from a Congress, by the way, that currently boasts a dismal 20…
