BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

This week Donald Trump may have made his biggest about-face yet: instead of cutting trillions to the national debt, as he pledged he would during his Presidential campaign, he’s pushing a bill that could add trillions to the deficit.
