Democrats’ calls to abolish ICE would mean abolishing America’s borders— and opening the floodgates to crime, drugs, and terrorism.

The Washington Post is constantly quoting “anonymous sources” that do not exist. Rarely do they use the name of anyone because there is no one to give them the kind of negative quote that they are looking for. They are a disgrace to journalism but then again, so are many others!

Trump speaks at "Salute to Service" dinner in WV, brags about winning state by 42 points

"I love this state, which I happened to win by 42 points over a Democrat...42 points! That's like one of these genius golfers winning by 9."

ON SCOTUS: "We're gonna give you a great one. We're gonna announce it on Monday and I think you'll be very impressed. These are very talented people, brilliant people, and I think you're gonna love it. Like Justice Gorsuch...we, uh, hit a home run there, and we're gonna hot a home run here."

Call me a cynic, but I do not believe that Mikey the "C" will be 2018's John Dean.

I don't believe that he will flip on Trump. I don't believe that he will "plead guilty to a single felony count, in exchange for becoming a key witness for the prosecution" as Dean did.

I do believe he is sending up a flare for a Trump pardon.

If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to admit it.

But in no way, shape or form do I believe that Cohen will be the guy who helps Mueller "take down Trump."

Do I believe he has the ability to do it, if he spilled all of the beans?

Oh, of course I do.

Will he?

Of course he won't.

After having written many best selling books, and somewhat priding myself on my ability to write, it should be noted that the Fake News constantly likes to pour over my tweets looking for a mistake. I capitalize certain words only for emphasis, not b/c they should be capitalized!

Trump's performance review w/ Putin will begin as a one-on-one meeting



(CNN)President Donald Trump plans to meet one-on-one with Vladimir Putin at the start of their July 16 summit in Helsinki, Finland, according to a person familiar with the plans, before allowing other aides to join the highly anticipated encounter with the Russian leader.

The meeting will be the first formal summit talks between them. They have met previously on the sidelines of conferences.

Trump has shown an affinity for meeting individually with his counterparts before opening the room to fuller delegations. During his historic summit with Kim Jong Un last month, Trump met for about an hour with just the North Korean dictator, joined only by their translators. Emerging from the face-to-face, Trump told reporters the discussion was "very, very good."

He had said before the Singapore talks that he wanted to take the measure of Kim personally and gauge their chemistry. In the case of Putin, Trump has already assessed their interpersonal ties up close, but wants more time to develop the leader-to-leader relationship, according to the person familiar with the summit's planning.

Florida Walmart employee yells 'I don't really care' at 10-year-old disabled boy

‘I don’t really care’: Florida Walmart employee yells at 10-year-old disabled boy for using a motorized cart



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/07/dont-really-care-florida-walmart-employee-yells-10-year-old-disabled-boy-using-motorized-cart/

AFlorida Walmart refused to allow a 10-year-old disabled boy to use their motorized carts because one employee claimed it was against their policy.

His mother, Tiffany Ferris, was furious after the situation and posted a video to Facebook about what happened. According to Ferris, her son, Cameron, has muscular development problems which makes it difficult to walk.

***

“He has been in special shoes, wheelchairs at school, and there have been many nights spent rubbing his legs so he can just sleep. Well, he started to have leg spasms, and I had him use a motorized cart to finish our trip,” Ferris wrote on Facebook. “I had stepped away for a minute the first time a lady (Walmart associate) approached him and told him that he couldn’t be on the carts, he was trying to explain but she just continues to tell him no! My husband approached a manager (a floor manager) who apologized and said he would make sure that didn’t happen again”

“Then another lady says loudly ‘Ma’am, ma’am, excuse me Ma’am, is that your son?’ Pointing to my youngest. Yes he is, he is disabled and he needs it. To which she replies, ‘I don’t really care about that, but minors can’t ride our carts it’s policy because it’s a liability.'”
