Either we need to elect more Republicans in November or Republicans must end the ridiculous 60 vote, or Filibuster, rule - or better yet, do both. Cryin’ Chuck would do it on day one, but we’ll never give him the chance. Some great legislation awaits - be smart!

The Democrats are making a strong push to abolish ICE, one of the smartest, toughest and most spirited law enforcement groups of men and women that I have ever seen. I have watched ICE liberate towns from the grasp of MS-13 & clean out the toughest of situations. They are great!

To the great and brave men and women of ICE, do not worry or lose your spirit. You are doing a fantastic job of keeping us safe by eradicating the worst criminal elements. So brave! The radical left Dems want you out. Next it will be all police. Zero chance, It will never happen!

Just spoke to King Salman of Saudi Arabia and explained to him that, because of the turmoil & disfunction in Iran and Venezuela, I am asking that Saudi Arabia increase oil production, maybe up to 2,000,000 barrels, to make up the difference...Prices to high! He has agreed!

I'm worried. My 1 yr old grandson is at my house. He does nothing for himself, pays for nothing, cries when he doesn't get his way, throws tantrums, and wears diapers that I have to change. I'm afraid this kid is a Democrat! Hope he outgrows it.

Government never had specific plan to reunify families, court testimony shows

https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/29/politics/family-separations-reunification-never-plan-court/index.html

Washington (CNN)In recent weeks, the government has stumbled trying to explain its plan for reunifying families in the wake of its much-criticized family separations policy at the border.

But newly reviewed court filings show that the byzantine system that has resulted in thousands of children separated for weeks and months from parents elsewhere in government custody was not an accident. It was always the design.

In fact, one of the women in an ongoing lawsuit over family separations was apparently one of the first separations that took place during a quiet pilot of the policy last year. The pilot program has been previously reported, but took on new attention on the heels of an NBC report about it Friday.

A government attorney admitted in court just days before the border-wide initiative was unveiled in early May that there was never a plan for parents like her to be proactively reunited with their kids.

Foxconn Creates A Job … for Top Scott Walker Campaign Consultant
Synergy Walker-Style as Firm Lobbying for Massive State Subsidy for Foxconn Hires Governor’s Campaign Manager, Head of Presidential Run PAC

https://onewisconsinnow.org/press/foxconn-creates-a-job-for-top-scott-walker-campaign-consultant/

MADISON, Wis. — Any doubt campaign politics is the driving force behind Gov. Scott Walker gambling $3 billion on a subsidy for Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn has been dispelled by the creation of a single job. According to a report from Wispolitics.com, the lobbying firm hired by Foxconn has brought on Keith Gilkes, Walker’s longtime campaign manager and the head of the Unintimidated PAC that supported his presidential ambitions, to do “public affairs and communications.”

“Scott Walker’s longtime campaign manager working with the firm lobbying for the state subsidy for Foxconn epitomizes how Scott Walker operates,” commented One Wisconsin Now Executive Director Scot Ross. “With this guy it’s all about his political ambitions and his next campaign. His scheme to deliver the largest state subsidy to a foreign corporation in history is no different.”

Campaign finance reports for Walker’s gubernatorial campaign show he has paid the consulting firm run by Gilkes nearly $90,000 in just the first six months of 2017. Between Walker’s campaigns and the Republican Party of Wisconsin, Gilkes has been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for his work on Walker’s 2010, 2012 and 2014 gubernatorial elections and as the head of the PAC supporting Walker’s failed run for President.

Walker has been on a frenetic, campaign-style tour of the state in recent weeks touting his plan to provide the largest ever state subsidy to a foreign corporation. But Walker’s boosterism doesn’t change the facts of the proposed deal that will have Wisconsin taxpayers sending state tax dollars to subsidize the bottom line of a multi-billion foreign corporation instead of investing in local public schools, roads and bridges or Main Street businesses.

North Korea has increased nuclear production at secret sites, say U.S. officials
"Work is ongoing to deceive us on the number of facilities, the number of weapons, the number of missiles," said one U.S. official.
by Courtney Kube, Ken Dilanian and Carol E. Lee / Jun.29.2018 / 6:13 PM ET

WASHINGTON — U.S. intelligence agencies believe that North Korea has increased its production of fuel for nuclear weapons at multiple secret sites in recent months — and that Kim Jong Un may try to hide those facilities as he seeks more concessions in nuclear talks with the Trump administration, U.S. officials told NBC News.

The intelligence assessment, which has not previously been reported, seems to counter the sentiments expressed by President Donald Trump, who tweeted after his historic June 12 summit with Kim that "there was no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea."

Analysts at the CIA and other intelligence agencies don't see it that way, according to more than a dozen American officials who are familiar with their assessments and spoke on the condition of anonymity. They see a regime positioning itself to extract every concession it can from the Trump administration — while clinging to nuclear weapons it believes are essential to survival.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

For the first time in decades an official from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services spoke at the National Right to Life convention. Roger Severino, director of the Office for Civil Rights said at Thursday’s convention that his organization is “just getting started.”

“Our president is fearless when it comes to life and conscience,” Severino said. “We’re just getting started.”

Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee, told the Wichita Eagle News that his speech was significant.

“The leadership at HHS is very committed to protecting unborn children,” Tobias said. “Their willingness to send a representative to talk about conscience protection and to reassure pro-life people that they’re going to work to protect the babies, it was just a nice, very uplifting, very encouraging good message from the administration.”
