President Donald Trump made a surprise appearance at McLean Bible Church Sunday to pray for the community of Virginia Beach, and the congregation covered him in prayer.
Trump visited the church on Sunday to pray for the community of Virginia Beach, which was recently rocked by a mass shooting that took place at a municipal building.McLean Bible Church’s pastor, David Platt, asked the congregation to “pray for our president,” and they did just that.“We pray that he would look to You, that he would trust in You, he would lean on You,” Platt prayed. “That he would govern and make decisions in ways that are good for justice,

DONALD Trump has showed off a slick new hairdo as he prepares to meet the Queen during his first official state visit to the UK.
The US President’s new look, no doubt achieved with copious amounts of gel or styling product, is a far cry from his trademark yellow bouffant.He debuted the sleek style on Sunday during a special church service praying for victims of the Virginia Beach mass shooting.
Trump made an unannounced stop at the McLean Bible Church in Virginia after leaving his private golf club in nearby Sterling.
Wearing khakis and a jacket over a polo shirt and holding a golf hat, Trump was applauded by

Mueller cannot get in front of a Congressional panel to address questions about his Mueller report. Deep State won’t let him.

The Democrats and their Deep State cheered him on. Numerous corrupt and criminal events took place.

A frail Robert Mueller stepped in front of the cameras to confirm that he was the living embodiment of Peter Strzok’s ‘insurance policy”. In a faltering voice, a fragile-looking Mueller exposed the extreme bias he holds against President Trump. Turning the 300 years of common law and American jurisprudence on its head, Mueller essentially said that Trump was guilty until proven innocent.

The defense team for Clearwater parking lot shooter Michael Drejka has decided against pursuing a stand-your-ground immunity hearing, one of his lawyers said this week. That means a jury will decide whether Drejka shot 28-year-old Markeis McGlockton in self-defense.
The move sidesteps the opportunity to seek immunity from prosecution that’s provided in Florida's stand-your-ground law. Skipping the immunity hearing is a strategy used by attorneys for George Zimmerman in winning his acquittal for the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

(Snip) I have never met Pastor French, rarely read him, and generally feel about him the way C. K. Dexter Haven in The Philadelphia Story felt about George Kitteridge, man of the people: “to hardly know him is to know him well.”
The outpouring of indignation, fury, and contempt that greeted Sohrab’s column reminded me that opinions about the Pastor vary widely.

In common parlance, a made man is someone whose path to success was greased by circumstances. It also refers to someone formally inducted as a full member of a criminal outfit -- the Mafia. In the political atmosphere in which Robert Mueller was born, he, like John Kerry, was virtually assured of a prestigious place in society: He was a tall white man with a hatchet jaw who (like his classmate Kerry) went to an expensive private school – St. Paul’s -- and came from a well-connected and well-off family.

While Franklin Graham is revered by millions of Christians world wide as an inspiring Evangelist, just as his father was before him, according to CNN Religion Editor Daniel Burke, he’s a “White Evangelical”. Because Evangelists come in all colors and all races, calling Franklin Graham a “White Evangelical” is racist.

Robert F. Smith’s tremendous act of generosity astounded the nation and the world. Media outlets across the globe covered his commencement address to Morehouse College’s class of 2019 in which he announced that he will donate tens of millions of dollars to pay the student loan debts of 400 people, most of whom he likely doesn’t even know. While the dollar amount is, of course, impressive, what really makes this story exceptional is that it is an act of free will.
The fact that this donation was voluntary and deliberate is important to recognize as our country is increasingly receptive to socialist ideas.

That, coupled with the news a Los Angeles police detective has been diagnosed with typhoid fever, has sparked concern among LA’s residents.

All your interests are belong to us…. There was previous discussion of how Beijing would respond if/when their economic interests were challenged. In essence, the prediction was that China would drop the panda mask and revert back to their oppressive totalitarian tendencies.It is an interesting dynamic because the more the communist state moves to punish and control western business interests, the less likely any western investment flows into China. It’s a simple question: Why would anyone want to engage a business relationship inside a totalitarian system that could move at any moment to control your business?

Americans abort over half a million fetuses a year. A single organization with the ironic name of Planned Parenthood prevents parenthood in this way several hundred thousand times a year.
Compared to the rest of the world, our abortion laws are lax. Only about 30% of countries allow abortion simply because a woman wants one. The abortion laws of Finland, Germany, France and several other European countries are more stringent than American law.
Some fetuses survive abortions, and are intentionally killed on the operating table. Hard data on this is difficult to obtain, of course, but in the macabre clinic of abortionist Kermit Gosnell it apparently happened fairly often.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Ed Markey of Massachusetts – appeals to the “elite” professionals the party has been courting for years.

On Capitol Hill, in downtown restaurants and Metro cars, phones blared an emergency alert in unison: Seek shelter. Avoid windows. Office workers crowded at their windows anyway to watch the rain lash the streets and the trees bow in submission. And then, all of a sudden, it was over. Shopkeepers swept water out of doorways.

But “the biggest thing he learned [was] … that his shoes were uncomfortable,” said James’ brother, Ian. “He’s not accustomed to formal shoes, so he got insoles. “James’ last formal job was at Brown’s Chicken serving fried chicken at 16,” Ian added. “Since that time he’s kind of skipped that entire phase of life where you work in an office and have a boss.”

We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime.By talking about whether or not the president was guilty of committing a crime, Mueller revealed the fact that he was not investigating whether or not the president committed the crime.

It never ceases to amaze me how left-wingers love to rewrite rules as they go along. When “innocent until proven guilty” doesn’t help their cause, they flip it on its head and pretend the old reality never existed. Since Republicans are largely timid children when it comes to a fight, Democrats are able to get away with it. But what if they weren’t?
Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) loves to moralize about President Trump, particularly about his finances. There’s nothing he would like more than to gain access to Trump’s tax returns, which, if he got them, would undoubtedly have select portions mysteriously find their way to the press.

Elizabeth Warren, the fake Indian, has an annoying yet revealing verbal tic –whenever she’s about to tell a lie, she prefaces her whopper with the word “So.” I think it’s safe to say Lieawatha had at best a so-so performance Friday morning on The Breakfast Club, a syndicated black radio show out of New York.
The Breakfast Club is one of those media outlets where Democrat candidates go to grovel. In 2016, Hillary Clinton used the popular program to spin her own preposterously tall tale about carrying a bottle of “hot sauce” in her purse.
Friday, the fake Indian figured she’d be getting the same kind of kid-gloves treatment. But the hosts,

On May 30, former president Barack Obama was a keynote speaker at an event in Brazil. The event, VTEX Day, is billed as “the largest digital innovation event in Latin America.”
During a conversation with a host on stage during the digital innovation event, Obama took the opportunity to speak negatively about U.S. gun laws. He said, “Our gun laws in the United States don’t make much sense. Anybody can buy any weapon, any time, without much, if any, regulation. They can buy [guns] over the internet, they can buy machine guns.” His statement to a foreign audience includes six lies about our gun laws and one truth.

Oh, Rep. Justin Amash, Republican of Michigan, wants the President impeached? Oh. Wow!
But, uh, who exactly is Justin… a Rash? Like, really. Who is this character? Beto O’Rourke with the ear hairs still inserted?
Indeed — who are these characters and circus clowns who show up on CNN, MSNBC, and similar organs presenting themselves as Republicans committed to ousting the President? Are these really Republicans — or simply circus acts for new gigs now that Barnum & Bailey permanently has closed down?
Honestly — really, honestly — who ever heard of Ana Navarro before she became a CNN “expert Republican” on what is wrong

It cannot be emphasized too often: Russiagate—allegations that the American president has been compromised by the Kremlin, which may even have helped to put him in the White House—is the worst and (considering the lack of actual evidence) most fraudulent political scandal in American history. We have yet to calculate the damage Russsiagate has inflicted on America’s democratic institutions, including the presidency and the electoral process, and on domestic and foreign perceptions of American democracy, or on US-Russian relations at a critical moment when both sides, having “modernized” their nuclear weapons, are embarking on a new, more dangerous, and largely unreported arms race.

In his news conference Wednesday, special counsel Robert Mueller explained why he wouldn’t testify before Congress. “Any testimony from this office would not go beyond our report,” he said, adding: “The report is my testimony.” This is precisely why Mueller shouldn’t have held a news conference. President Trump’s critics are now picking apart his statement. Like with a verbal Rorschach test, they are reading between the lines to find what they want to find.
For example, in his report Mueller definitively declared his investigation “did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government.” But in his news conference, Mueller said that “there was insufficient

-- Colombian native Anthony Gignac, who swindled millions from investors while pretending to be a prince from Saudi Arabia, was sentenced by a federal judge in Miami to 18 ½ years in prison Friday.
Gignac, 48, used the alias Sultan Bin Khalid Al-Saud among others to trick investors from Florida to Britain to give him money for bogus business deals. Authorities said he had been arrested some 11 times before during his long-running scam that lasted three decades.

Fourteen presidential hopefuls rallied at the California Democratic Convention in San Francisco on Saturday, taking shots at President Trump and outlining their platforms to attract votes from thousands of activists, party delegates and guests in attendance.
They also faced a particularly animated crowd, complete with chants, heckles and even one stage-jumper.
Among the candidates was Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Democratic socialist making his second run for the White House. Sanders, I-Vt., boasted of legislative initiatives to raise the national minimum wage and create a government-run universal health care system.

Mueller Time came and went. Now it’s Impeachment Time, at least according to the “neutral” media.
Of course, now-former Special Counsel Robert Mueller never said President Trump should be impeached. But that didn’t stop journalists, who used every rhetorical trick in the book to push that narrative against the president. Both MSNBC host Chris Hayes and CNN Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger dissected Mueller’s Wednesday news conference about his report, relying on either “reading between the lines” or “If you read between the lines.”
