House Democrats move to block Trump’s Greenland ‘boondoggle’

A group of House Democrats is moving to block President Donald Trump from acquiring Greenland in direct defiance of one of the commander in chief’s main foreign policy goals. Rep. Gabe Amo, D-R.I., announced late Sunday that he introduced a bill to prevent Trump from using federal dollars to buy Greenland. The legislation already has more than 20 House Democratic co-sponsors and is likely to get more as the week progresses. ‘Greenland is not for...

Supreme Court prepares for major test of presidential power in Trump efforts to fire Federal Reserve governor

Donald Trump made ‘you’re fired’ a national catchphrase from his TV show ‘The Apprentice.’ Now the power of the president to unilaterally decide who can continue to serve in key government positions will be tested Wednesday at the U.S. Supreme Court, in another major case over leadership removals from independent agencies. At the center of the latest constitutional showdown is Lisa Cook, who serves precariously on the Federal Reserve’s powerful Board of Governors. Trump claims...

SEC BROOKE ROLLINS: Trump brings whole milk back to schools, undoing Obama’s war on real food

In 2012, the Obama administration decided that America’s kids didn’t need whole milk. As a result, our children missed out on essential nutrition and our farmers lost critical income. Obama-era economic stagnation and anti-agriculture policies, including those promoting the Green New Scam multiplied hardships on the farm and many hardworking Americans began to lose hope. Nearly one year ago, President Donald Trump’s inauguration restored that hope, and today he renews it. In signing the Whole...

GREG GUTFELD: Scott Adams was the man who interrogated reality and made it talk

We might pursue a religious practice, embrace an education, and learn to think for ourselves. Others might not be so lucky. Anxious and unsure — we turn to other things to make sense of reality — drugs, alcohol, sex or easy money....

ROB SCHNEIDER: Go woke, go broke isn’t a slogan — it’s becoming Hollywood’s reality

Towards the end of the fifth season of ‘Stranger Things,’ the character of Will Byers gathers his family and friends together. He has good reason. They need to prepare for the final battle against Vecna, a terrifying, skinless monster with a penchant for mass murder and apocalyptic terrorism. But instead, Will comes out as gay. This is perhaps the most anticlimactic moment in television since Pam woke up to reveal that the entire tenth season...
