This is where America is...military personnel must follow orders, and they are wondering if their orders are legal.

More Military personnel are calling legal military non-profit agencies seeking advice for orders they received.
The DOJ has issues a order that all orders are legal & the personnel are immune from prosecution. Right there is the red flag, the prosecution immunity.

This is a fair account of the Democrats deal on the shutdown. No one else was stepping up to resolve the pain of the shutdown. Furloughed employees are hired back, SNAP is funded, ACA subsidies votes will be on the record in December.

Deconstructing public schools. Elections have consequences for all of us, not just a select few. Public schools must teach all students, and they struggle as tax dollars leave with students.

If Mr. Art of the Deal really wanted to end the shutdown and cared about federal workers, programs and services, he would be negotiating instead of building a ballroom.

And if he’s too busy with the ballroom, he could allow Thune to do it since Mike Johnson is a useless fool.

The DOD accepted an anonymous $130 million gift from a wealthy donor to help pay military salaries during the government shutdown.

The department would not release any additional details about the unusual move.

Why didn't the President disclosure this to the American people?

How will it change the function of the White House? How much does it cost? Who are the donors? What were they promised? Were there foreign donors? Is it legal?

Name-calling in our politics is disturbing. It started with making the terms "liberals" and "conservatives" dirty words and has morphed into "radical left" and "facists" and much much worse.
