“Donald Trump came along and said, ‘This is crazy. Let’s put America first.'”“The fact that George Will is lining up with Chuck Schumer is no big surprise to me,” Huckabee told LifeZette Editor-in-Chief Laura Ingraham. “Will is probably one of the most bitter people I think I’ve been around, and it’s really beginning to show in a rather unmasked way.”

The Trump administration is circulating a list of programs to eliminate -- and it includes the Corporation for National and Community Service, the agency that finances AmeriCorps, which places young people in service positions in which they earn money for student aid or to repay student loans.

But forget about decency, Post. Have you no sense of… irony? I will overlook the nasty-trite shot of “fringes” for the moment, but… “acceptable debate”? “Acceptable”? What is ”acceptable debate” in journalism these days?

What he apparently meant is that not all Christians are terrorists and not all Muslims are terrorists—a fact evident to all—yet his words also seemed to suggest that no specifically Islamic form of terrorism exists in the world, an assertion that stands in stark contradiction to established fact.“No people is criminal or drug-trafficking or violent,” Francis said, while also suggesting—as he has on other occasions—that terrorism is primarily a result of economic inequalities rather than religious beliefs. “The poor and the poorer peoples are accused of violence yet, without equal opportunities, the different forms of aggression and conflict will find a fertile terrain for growth and will eventually explode.”The Pope also reiterated his conviction that all religions promote peace and that the danger of violent radicalization exists equally in all religions. ...

“This case demonstrates just how weak our voter registration system is with respect to preventing illegal activity up front.”In her appeal, Fitzpatrick’s lawyer, Richard Hanus, argued that the DMV employee’s direction constituted “official approval,” and that Fitzpatrick should therefore not be held responsible for her actions.
