During Sunday’s broadcast of CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI), chairwoman of the House Republican Conference Committee, defended the Trump administration’s use of tariffs in response to Canada’s willingness to let China evade U.S. trade barriers.

That’s the equivalent of $5,619 per Michigan…

On Friday, US District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, replaced the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) that she granted last month.

Local residents in Ceuta have reacted with horror to plans to construct a major migrant camp just feet away from a nursery for children, despite the rampant sexual assaults associated with the illegals who invaded the Spanish city in July.

One such camp planned to hold up to 900 illegals is set to be located in the Los Rosales…

Federal authorities have charged Thomas Ross, 37, with conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance for allegedly asking his former campaign manager to plant the substances on his opponent, Louise Secker, in the weeks leading up to the August 4 Republican primary, news outlets are…

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press this morning, where he said that the Democrats “will not hesitate” to impeach President Trump if they take back the House in November.  During the interview with Kristen Welker, Raskin was asked whether it would be the Democrats’ first move, but he dodged the question, calling the power “a critical tool” while suggesting that impeachment may fail in the Senate once again. He then attempted to distance the party from its obsession with impeaching Trump, saying it’s not their “fetish” but that Democrats “will not…

The U.N. voted Friday to promote reworked map projections that enhance Africa’s size, a move it claims will “more accurately reflect the true size of continents” – the culmination of an African-led campaign against the 16th-century Mercator projection, still the most widely used depiction in the world. The United States cast the sole vote against the resolution, dismissing the “correct the map” initiative as part of a “radical ideological project,” per the globalist organization’s own report on the vote. The outcome now projects the U.S. as smaller than on traditional maps as the African continent is enlarged, enhanced and emboldened…
