Bad Trump: Pres Trump followed through on a campaign promise by signing executive orders enacting increased protectionism measures:  25% tariffs on steel and 10% on aluminum. Good Trump: US-lead sanctions and foreign policy towards China has forced North Korea’s Kim Jong Un to beg for a face-to-face meeting with Trump.

California has subverted federal immigration law, and AG Sessions is right to go after them for it. California does not have the right to supercede federal law. When Arizona did it, they were slapped down by the Supreme Court.

If you call everything racist, then nothing is racist. Congress has declined to address DACA and “dreamers”, and Pres Trump’s options have been limited by the courts.

President Trump has has a terrible week, and one of his biggest problems is his son-in-law’s seeming inability to get any sort of security clearance. Tariffs, firearm confiscation without due process, announcing policy without telling his staff… Trump’s White House is in chaos. He’s losing good people too. A young man from Plainfield killed his parents today at Central Michigan University. His dad was a Bellwood police officer, and an Iraq war vet.

Libby Schaaf, the mayor of Oakland, CA, should be in prison right now for sharing private federal information and alerting illegals with criminal records to ICE operations.

NY Sen Chuck Schumer rejects Trump’s judicial nominee in SC because of his race, the nominee is white.

That’s what our President has said.

Gun control legislation hits a snag in DC.  It’s not likely to happen in congress, which is great, but Pres Trump may be a wild card. We need to educate the next generation about guns.

Matt Walsh: The Las Vegas mass shooting doesn’t fit the mainstream media’s anti-gun narrative like the Parkland, FL shooting does, so they don’t talk about it anymore.

Burt Minor, candidate in Illinois’ 42nd district, now has to defend his candidacy and his reputation after his opponents launch a political smear campaign against him. Connor Bolanos, a high school student, speaks with Joe about being, and maintaining, a conservative minded voice among younger people.
