WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump abruptly reversed course Wednesday, signing an executive order ending family separations at the U.S.-Mexico border after a public uproar over the impact of his administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy. The plan would keep families together in federal custody while awaiting prosecution for illegal border crossings, potentially violating a 1997 court settlement limiting the duration of child detentions. “So we’re going to have strong, very strong borders, but we’re going to keep the families together,” Trump said as he signed the order in the Oval Office.

  • The New York Times Is Nothing More Than An Elaborate Burn Book
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 07:32 AM

    Politico's magazine did a cover story on the New York Times and their feud with the Biden White House, and boy, was it enlightening. Well, maybe not. There wasn't much we didn't already guess, it was just weird to hear them say it out loud. I find it so puzzling when the people who work there don't understand how much bad faith coverage it took to lose the support of liberal Democrats.

    During the Supreme Court hearing that will likely determine whether or not Donald Trump is tried before the next presidential election over his attempt to steal the last one, Justice Brett Kavanaugh asked a question that should alarm everybody. Speaking of President Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon, Kavanaugh correctly noted that it was “very controversial in the moment” and probably why Ford lost the 1976 presidential election.

    “Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken met with China’s leader, Xi Jinping, in Beijing on Friday, as the two countries worked to hold together a fractious relationship despite disputes over the economy, national security and geopolitical frictions in East Asia, the Middle East and Ukraine,” the New York Times reports. “Both China and the United States have said they were hoping for progress on a few smaller, pragmatic fronts, including improving communications between their militaries and easing travel between the countries.
