DATE WITH ROYALTY: Trump to officially visit Queen Elizabeth in June amid lingering tensions

Image
On Tuesday, Buckingham Palace announced the Queen of England, Elizabeth II has invited the President and First Lady of the United States to the UK for a formal state visit. There were protests in Great Britain during his first visit as the president whereby he and Mrs. Trump had tea with the Queen last year. Along with anti-Trump demonstrators lining the street, there was also in the air, a blimp depicting the American leader as an orange baby in a  diaper whining.  It is a high honor to be the guest of the Queen. The tensions likely remain, but as the third U.S. president to receive  a full state visit with the monarch it is a must attend date.  But the POTUS will need to brush up on royal etiquette.  Trump broke protocol by walking in front of the Queen when hey last met. The White House said Pres. Trump and First Lady Melania will " reaffirm the steadfast and special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom" on June 3-5/  While...

Statement from Vice President Mike Pence on end of Mueller Investigation

Image
Today is a great day for America, President Trump and our entire administration. After two years of investigation, and reckless accusations by many Democrats and members of the media, the Special Counsel has confirmed what President Trump said along; there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election. The Attorney General also confirmed that there was no obstruction of justice. This total vindication of the President of the United States and our campaign should be welcomed by every American who cherishes the truth and the integrity of our elections. In the days ahead, the American people can be confident that the President and our entire administration will continue to focus where we always have, on the issues most important to our country. We can only hope that Democrats, who have spent so much time on these discredited allegations, will join us to advance an agenda that will make our nation even more prosperous and more secure for every Ameri...

By Mona Austin Arizona Senator John McCain would have turned 82 tommorow. He died on Saturday, August 25 less than a week before his birthday. Days later, President Donald Trump continued to be reluctant to show respect for the veteran lawmaker. Trump's blase treatment of the elder statesman's death was met with criticism from Democrats and Republicans. The clash between the two men grew from Trump saying he did not consider Mr. McCain a hero, although the latter was tortured in Vietnam for five years and the former never served in the military. McCain's mutual disdain was shown when he disassociated with Trump for disrespecting women. A tape of Trump bragging about groping women had surfaced and Meaghan McCain's father wasn't having any parts of that. But, his disdain for the was never more clear than when he rose up from the cast the vote against his own party to block the repeal and replacement of Obamacare. He stormed onto the Senate Chamber ...
