Almost like the Mexican Palestinian side is complicit in allowing that movement because they don't want the border.

And how would that be different from Mexico and a wall on your boarder?

Breaking news: a wall is not impenetrable.

Not that the wall is getting build any time in the near future.

Trump Russia dossier key claim 'verified'
The BBC has learned that US officials "verified" a key claim in a report about Kremlin involvement in Donald Trump's election - that a Russian diplomat in Washington was in fact a spy.

So far, no single piece of evidence has been made public proving that the Trump campaign joined with Russia to steal the US presidency - nothing.

But the FBI Director, James Comey, told a hushed committee room in Congress last week that this is precisely what his agents are investigating.

Donald Trump should stop tweeting “things that are not true” - Jeb Bush
Donald Trump should stop tweeting “things that are not true” because he is threatening his policy agenda, according to Jeb Bush, his former rival for the Republican presidential nomination, .

The former Governor of Florida said the President's angry rants on Twitter were “distractions from the task at hand”.

"He hasn’t shifted to being president in the way that people are used to and I think that’s the problem", he told CBS Miami.

Mr Trump needed to learn the difference between running a campaign and serving as president where “your words have consequences that go way beyond that”, he said.

Donald Trump administration to drop human rights conditions before selling F-16 fighter jets to Bahrain
The Donald Trump administration has told Congress it plans to approve a multibillion-dollar sale of F-16 fighter jets to Bahrain without the human rights conditions imposed by the Obama administration.

If finalised, the approval would allow the Gulf island to purchase 19 of the jets from Maryland-based Lockheed Martin, plus improvements to other jets in Bahrain's fleet.

Though Congress has opportunities to block the sale, it is unlikely it will act to do so, given the Republican majority's strong support for the sale.

Glad to see Trump "actually" doing something about the opioid crisis.... Another study on the crisis is just what we need to solve this problem. I guess Trump doesnt realize the one recently completed by the Surgeon General outlines numerous steps America can take to deal with this problem..

Another study will save thousands of lives. Big time save lives.

The Berlin wall worked pretty good but both sides were enforcing it

Pence breaks tie in Senate vote on Planned Parenthood funding
Vice President Mike Pence and a GOP senator recovering from surgery were dramatically summoned to the Senate Thursday to advance legislation that would allow states to block federal family-planning funds to Planned Parenthood.

After the vote had been held open for more than an hour, Pence cast the tie-breaker shortly after Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) walked onto the Senate floor to vote. Isakson, who is recovering from back surgery, was using a walker inside the chamber.
2 White House Officials Helped Give Nunes Intelligence Reports
A pair of White House officials played a role in providing Representative Devin Nunes of California, the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, with the intelligence reports that showed President Trump and his associates were incidentally swept up in foreign surveillance by American spy agencies.

The revelation that White House officials assisted in the disclosure of the intelligence reports — which Mr. Nunes then discussed with President Trump — is likely to fuel criticism that the intelligence chairman has been too eager to do the bidding of the Trump administration while his committee is supposed to be conducting an independent investigation of Russia’s meddling in the last presidential election.

Mr. Nunes has also been faulted by his congressional colleagues for sharing the information with President Trump before consulting with other members of the intelligence committee.

The congressman has refused to identify his sources, saying he needed to protect them so others would feel safe coming to the committee with sensitive information. He first disclosed the existence of the intelligence reports on March 22, and in his public comments he has described his sources as whistle-blowers trying to expose wrongdoing at great risk to themselves.

What George W. Bush Really Thought of Donald Trump’s Inauguration
according to three people who were present, Bush gave a brief assessment of Trump’s inaugural after leaving the dais: “That was some weird shit.” All three heard him say it.
