Trump awards Purple Hearts to National Guard members ambushed in Washington, DC: 'We love you all'

President Donald Trump, during his Tuesday night State of the Union address, awarded the Purple Heart to Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe and deceased Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, two National Guard members who were critically injured and fatally shot by a gunman who ambushed them while on duty last year in Washington, D.C. Trump used a portion of his State of the Union address to acknowledge Wolfe and the parents of 20-year-old Beckstrom, who did not survive her injuries. "I'm going to ask a highly respected General James Seward to present Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe and the great family of Sarah Beckstrom, with the award created by our late, great president, George Washington himself," Trump said. "It's called the Purple Heart. We love you all." As Trump spoke, Major General James "Jim" D. Seward, Adjutant General of the West Virginia National Guard, presented Specialist Beckstrom’s medal to her parents and pinned the Purple Heart on Staff S...

Omar shouts 'you are a murderer' and 'liar' at Trump during State of the Union address

Rep. Ilhan Omar , D-Minn., shouted at President Donald Trump during the State of the Union, calling him a "liar" and a "murderer" after the commander in chief spoke about Somali-linked fraud in Minnesota. Omar was seated next to Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., who wore a profane pin on her shirt condemning ICE, and the two scowled at the president throughout his remarks. "As we speak, Democrats in this chamber have cut off all funding for the Department of Homeland Security. It's all cut off; all cut off," Trump began. "They have instituted another Democrat shutdown, the first one costing us two points on GDP, two points we lost on GDP, which probably made them quite happy actually. Now they have closed the agency responsible for protecting Americans from terrorists and murderers." ILHAN OMAR ACCUSES NOEM OF 'LIES AND PROPAGANDA' ON MINNESOTA ARRESTS Around that point, a ruckus could be heard and the camera soon panned to an irate ...

DAN GAINOR: Trump defeated the press like David smacked Goliath. Can they recover?

Over 10 years ago, billionaire businessman Donald Trump announced he was running for the biggest office in the land. Three presidential races and two victories later, one thing is clear. Trump won his war with the media hands down. The press set out to destroy him. They failed. And he crushed them instead. At no time since the founding of our republic has the traditional media been less influential. President Trump has won lawsuits against two different news networks, watched as other news organizations refused to endorse his competitor in the presidential race and celebrated as public media had its taxpayer funding ripped away. This is another classic Trump upset victory that is reminiscent of David smiting Goliath. It didn’t go well for Goliath either time. Who could have predicted the turn of events? The establishment left-wing press have influenced everything in America for decades — politics, culture, sports and more. They helped decide both party's presidential candidates...

California allocating $35M to support illegal immigrants amid Trump's mass deportation agenda

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the allocation of $35 million in state funding to support illegal immigrants as the Trump administration carries out its massive deportation agenda. Newsom's office is releasing the money that the legislature set aside in the state budget to help philanthropic partners support immigrant families with food assistance and other resources, according to a press release. These funds are on top of funds the state already allocated to provide legal resources to those facing deportation. "While the federal government targets hardworking families, California stands with them – uniting partners and funding local communities to help support their neighbors," Newsom said in the release. "The urgent need grows as the Trump Administration accelerates mass detention, tramples due process, and funds authoritarian enforcement with over $170 billion. As the Trump Administration chooses cruelty and chaos, California chooses community." ...

Florida bill would let churches use armed volunteers instead of licensed security

A Florida bill could allow churches, synagogues, mosques and other places of worship to use armed volunteers for security without requiring them to hold a professional security license. Senate Bill 52, which unanimously passed the chamber earlier this month, would authorize houses of worship to use armed volunteers instead of hiring licensed security guards, which supporters say would help cut costs while still keeping people safe. "It’s now common for synagogues, churches, and mosques to have armed security," state Sen. Don Gaetz, who sponsored this measure, said to FOX 13. "Often using paid professional licensed security personnel." SHOOTING OUTSIDE SALT LAKE CITY LDS CHURCH LEAVES AT LEAST 2 DEAD, 6 INJURED: POLICE The legislation now heads to the state House. This measure comes amid concerns about violence targeting places of worship across the country. In August, a shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minnesota left two children dead and around 20...

Why Trump is wrong to call dissenting Republican justices an 'embarrassment' for voting against his tariffs

They are "fools"! They are "lapdogs!" They are "disloyal"! They should be "ashamed," an "embarrassment to their families"! SUPREME COURT BLOCKS TRUMP TARIFFS IN MAJOR TEST OF EXECUTIVE BRANCH POWERS They are caving to pressure from "slimeballs"! And they are not just "radical" Democrats, but also "RINOs"! I've almost never seen Donald Trump as angry as he was after the Supreme Court struck down his tariffs as illegal.  When he was reading from his notes, it was barely controlled fury. When he kept going off script, he was dripping with disdain.  TRUMP REVEALS HIS 'NEW HERO' SUPREME COURT JUSTICE AFTER TARIFFS RULING On the Republicans In Name Only business, the stunner is that the 6-3 ruling was backed by two of his appointees, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Comey Barrett.  They joined the majority opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts, a consensus builder whom the president has tangled with ...
