Time is running out and you may not get a second chance to join.

Because Team Tom and David Gardner are about to reveal their new stock picks on Friday April 21st.

Now, long-time members of Motley Fool Stock Advisor know from experience that it's time to pay close attention.

Because many of them watched as David guided investors through 5 simple trades that turned $5,000 into $231,540.

This chart tells the story of those trades:

Watchlist

Each circle on that chart represents a stock-pick Friday when David told Stock Advisor members to buy Netflix.

And as you can see, people who followed that Netflix advice did extremely well.

If you had invested just $1,000 on each of those five Fridays, you would have $231,540 today.

But there's no need for me to cherry-pick returns here. It's as simple as this...

Team Tom and David Gardner's average pick in Motley Fool Stock Advisor (their stock recommendation service) is up 229%, while the S&P 500 during the same period is up just 68%.

In other words, their average pick has nearly tripled the stock market's return for more than a decade.

To state the obvious, you don't triple the stock market's return over 13+ years by getting lucky.

And that's exactly why people are so excited about the upcoming picks.

Now, you can't go back to 2004 and invest in Netflix.

But you can join today and be among the first people to hear about David and Team Tom's newest stock picks.

Unfortunately, if you don't take action right now, you won't get them.

Because I can only send these picks to members of Motley Fool Stock Advisor.

But don't worry — it's not too late yet. You still have a little time left to join.

Just don’t delay, because the stock picks come out at noon on Friday and you do not want to miss this opportunity.

YES! I want to be among the first to discover David and Team Tom's NEWEST stock picks!

Now, you've probably been thinking about joining The Motley Fool for awhile.

You're ready to start investing like a pro. You want your money to work for you.

You would love to give your family the gift of true financial security and freedom.

Because it's not about money... it's about improving the quality of life.

And whether you want to buy a vacation home, a sailboat, or simply pay tuition for your kids and grandkids...

It simply isn't possible without money.

And investing is the best way I know to create that kind of wealth.

Now, I know you're ready to take your financial performance to the next level...

But something is holding you back from taking the next step and joining Motley Fool Stock Advisor.

If you haven't had a chance to read the emails I sent you earlier this week...

You might wonder why now is the right time to join Stock Advisor.

Well, while timing isn't everything, the history of David and Team Tom's stock picks shows that it has paid to get in early.

Just consider this:

If I'd sent you this email on June 7, 2002... hours before David recommended Marvel, and you'd acted immediately, you'd be up 5,908% today.

Or on May 21, 2004, right before David first recommended Priceline. You'd be up 7,408% today.

Or — more recently — on February 17, 2012... just moments before Team Tom announced their recommendation of WisdomTree Investments?

You'd be up 2%.

If you had invested just $1,000 in each of those stocks, you'd be sitting on over $136,000 today.

And loyal followers of David and Team Tom who invested more did even better — a $5,000 in each of those ideas would be worth well over $680,000 today.

It's time to stop waiting.

There will never be a "perfect" moment to make the changes you've been wanting to make.

Why don't you make today the day you take your first step towards your new life by joining Motley Fool Stock Advisor?

Simply click this link for details on how you can join Stock Advisor.

By joining today, you will lock-in your membership and ensure that you get the upcoming stock recommendation.

To your success,

Signature

PRESENTED BY*
CHINAWEEK

What’s driving North Korea’s nuclear program? I’m Davan Maharaj, editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times. Here are some story lines I don’t want you to miss today.

TOP STORIES

Honor, Our Commander in Chief and an ‘Axis of Evil’
President Trump said he would be “honored” to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “under the right circumstances,” which the White House later added don’t exist right now. So what is Pyongyang after as it develops nuclear weapons and missiles? One longtime analyst says the ultimate goal is reuniting the Korean peninsula under its own terms, and that means first driving a wedge between Seoul and Washington.

Wall Off Mexico? First, the White House Fence
President Trump’s border wall has been a cornerstone of his rallies, and just this Saturday, he said, “We will build a wall, folks, don’t even worry about it.” But will it ever get built? For many Republicans in Congress and administration officials, “the wall” has become a catchall for border security, rather than a permanent physical structure. Even so, the $1-trillion deal to keep the government running doesn’t include money for new fencing or new border agents. One barrier it does fund: upgrades to the fence around the White House.

More Politics
— Congress is on track to deliver to Trump his first big bipartisan agreement this week with the $1-trillion spending bill, but don’t expect other major legislative accomplishments any time soon.
— Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue rolled back stricter nutritional standards for school lunches that were championed by former First Lady Michelle Obama.
— Trump followed up his comments about Andrew Jackson and the Civil War with a tweet that appeared to defend them.

Once Demoted, Later Promoted, in the Sheriff’s Department
One L.A. County sheriff’s official was suspended for a month in 1999, department documents show, after making false statements and putting false information into records. Another was demoted in 2008 after authorizing a deputy to fire a Taser at an inmate who then fell from a jail bunk. Despite their histories of serious discipline, Sheriff Jim McDonnell recently promoted them to high-ranking positions — at a time when he’s gone to court to try to fire several deputies.

A Dangerous Pursuit of the Truth in Mexico
Mexico is on track to have its most recorded homicides ever. It’s also become the third-deadliest country in the world for journalists, after Syria and Afghanistan. Times foreign correspondent Kate Linthicum traveled to Tijuana to see how those who report on the misdeeds of drug cartels or the government keep going under constant threat.

A Nail-Biter in Hollywood
In true Hollywood fashion, it was a cliffhanger — this one with an apparently happy ending. After negotiations stretched past a midnightMonday deadline, the Writers Guild of America has reached a deal with the major studios and networks for a new film and TV contract. That would avert the first writers strike in nearly a decade and avoid widespread disruption to productions nationwide.

MUST-WATCH VIDEO
— Thousands of pro- and anti-Trump supporters demonstrated in downtown L.A., but things stayed relatively calm thanks to the LAPD’s preparation.

Coming May 9: CHINAWEEK California-China Business Summit

A dynamic five industry focus features clean tech, cross-border investments, e-commerce, agriculture and infrastructure. For more information and to register, visit chinaweek.la

End of sponsor placement.

CALIFORNIA

— Police in San Diego say a man who opened fire on a pool party was distraught over a recent breakup and there is “zero information to indicate that race played a factor.”

— The contest to become the next governor is already awash in cash. This graphic shows one candidate got donations from Trump supporter Peter Thiel and Democratic backer George Soros.

— A turnover of leadership at the California High-Speed Rail Authority could signal a shake-up as it wrestles with higher costs and construction falling behind schedule.

— A report says an oil drilling site at a Westside golf course has flouted city rules by repeatedly installing new equipment without city approval.

— A shallow magnitude 3.0 earthquake struck Santa Monica and West L.A. late Monday.

HOLLYWOOD AND THE ARTS

— Actor and art collector Cheech Marin is teaming with the city of Riverside and the Riverside Art Museum to create a Chicano art center.

— Organizers of the ill-fated Fyre Festival have been hit with a $100-million class-action lawsuit alleging fraud and breach of contract. 

— Jean Stein, the literary editor and author known for producing oral histories, has died at 83. Police say she fell to her death. 

— These teachers waited in line nearly 24 hours to be the first for “Hamilton” tickets in L.A., but it wasn’t without controversy.

CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD

Fifty years ago this week, Elvis Presley wed Priscilla Ann Wagner at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. Though they divorced in 1973, Priscilla said she tried to make decisions about the late King and his work as he might have made them. Asked last year whether Elvis would be on Twitter were he still alive, she responded: “No. No. No, no, no. He wouldn’t.”

NATION-WORLD

— As May Day protests took place around the U.S., those in Portland, Ore., turned violent

— The Supreme Court ruled that cities such as L.A. can sue banks for discriminatory lending practices that hurt low-income neighborhoods during the Great Recession. 

— The U.S. military has reexamined the way it reports whether its daily bombing runs over Iraq and Syria are inadvertently killing civilians

— Hamas, the Palestinian group that rules the Gaza Strip, unveiled a new manifesto moderating its position toward Israel, if only slightly. 

— Seattle’s big tunnel project has reached a milestone, but it’s way behind schedule and $400 million over budget.

BUSINESS

— Housing construction is on the rise in California, but developers still can’t add enough homes fast enough

— Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin defended Trump’s proposal to eliminate a tax deduction that benefits many Californians, including himself.

— Bill Shine, the co-president of Fox News who faced growing criticism over his handling of sexual harassment claims, is stepping down.

SPORTS

— A kidnapped trainer and an orphaned colt have made it to this weekend’s Kentucky Derby. 

— Why the Angels’ Mike Trout should never be counted out, regardless of the count.

OPINION

— Hulu’s “Handmaid’s Tale” isn’t timely because of Trump. It’s timely because we live in a liberal elite dystopia that already matches Margaret Atwood’s vision. 

— This writer has a soft spot for Reagan. Will her kids have one for Trump?

ADVERTISEMENT

WHAT OUR EDITORS ARE READING

— It wasn’t “Hamilton.” Steve Bannon once co-wrote a hip-hop musical based on Shakespeare and set amid the L.A. riots, and a group of actors did a table read of it. (Vanity Fair) 

. — In case you missed it in history class, here’s why there was a Civil War. (The Atlantic) 

— The gun-toting Buddhist monks of southern Thailand. (Aeon)

ONLY IN CALIFORNIA

San Francisco has a lot of old bars, but the Saloon in North Beach is one of the oldest with a paper trail that dates to 1861. Outside is bouncer Greg Stathes, who says he has snapped more than 30,000 photos of people and events in neighboring Fresno Alley. Inside, there’s 15-year regular Paul Nachtsheim, who said that at first, “I was little afraid to come here. It looked rough. But I love blues.” It’s just one stop on our travel staff’s ever-growing California Bucket List. Be brave.

Trump's Troubling Embrace of Anti-Democratic Leaders and Policies

From the earliest days of his presidential campaign, there has been an air of authoritarianism around the man who now occupies the Oval Office. But over the past few weeks, as Donald Trump approached and then passed his 100th day in office with campaign promises unfulfilled and no credible claim to major legislative...

REPUBLICAN Senator Pushing For Gun Confiscation?

Has the world gone nuts?!

State Sen. Brian Boquist is pushing a new bill that blatantly violates the constitution.

Want to know what’s even worse?

This new bill would allow for the gov’t to confiscate your weapons… solely on third-party allegations!

Basically, it would be enough for someone to call your police dept. and say that you’re feeling “depressed” or “suicidal” or acting “unusual”…

…And that would be enough for them to confiscate your weapon for an ENTIRE YEAR!

If you want to know how to defend yourself against these insane upcoming gun laws…

And how to legally acquire guns “off the books” without leaving a paper trail...

This article explains what you have to do.

To your protection,

Frank Mitchell

Father, Veteran, Patriot

P.S. Republican or Democrat – it’s all a big show these days. They may claim to uphold the constitution… but as we see, it’s all a play for TV ratings. Here’s how to keep your guns no matter what.

Good morning, and welcome to the Essential California newsletter. It’s Tuesday, May 2, and here’s what’s happening across California:

TOP STORIES

Disciplined sheriff’s officials get promoted
Despite having histories of serious discipline within the department, two L.A. sheriff’s officials were recently promoted. The action runs the risk of “putting people in supervisory positions who are compromised,” said Sam Walker, a retired criminal justice professor at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. “People know their records,” he said, adding that it is difficult for supervisors to punish one of their underlings if they themselves have a history of serious discipline. Los Angeles Times

May Day protests fill downtown L.A.
The electronic screen hanging over a stage outside City Hall in downtown Los Angeles on Monday morning seemed to encapsulate the message of this year’s May Day protests in one word: Resist. Thousands of demonstrators gathered in downtown Los Angeles on Monday in a series of protests that took aim at President Trump’s policies on immigrants here illegally. Los Angeles Times

Who is funding the candidates?
The small field of candidates hoping to succeed Gov. Jerry Brown next year has been raking in cash. So far the five candidates have raised more than $20 million, with Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom raising $11.8 million. Asian American business leaders have contributed large sums to John Chiang, while Antonio Villaraigosa has reached out to wealthy Angelenos. Los Angeles Times

Losing the housing race
Developers in California are adding homes, relative to population growth, at a far higher pace than in recent years. But it’s still below what experts believe would be enough to keep up with California’s growing population, which topped 39.5 million last year. Los Angeles Times

Sponsored Content by FIDF and the Helmsley Charitable Trust*

The Unbreakable Bond Between the United States and Israel
Israel was established 69 years ago this week. Since then, the United States and Israel have shared an unbreakable friendship based on their shared values of democracy and freedom. As we mark Israel’s 69th Independence Day this May 2, Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) and the Helmsley Charitable Trust have teamed up to honor and highlight this friendship and partnership in democracy.

L.A. STORIES

Writers strike averted: After several weeks of tense negotiations, the Writers Guild of America has reached a tentative deal with the major studios and networks for a new film and TV contract, avoiding disruption to productions nationwide. Los Angeles Times

Senator in the spotlight: Sen. Kamala Harris follows in a long tradition of newcomer senators who enter office with a high profile and a desire to get things done. Harris has leveraged the pushback to the Trump presidency to become a key figure in the resistance movement. CNN

Who is in the jail? The Twin Towers Correctional Facility is home to about 4,000 mentally ill inmates, which is about 30% of the county’s total jail population. This makes it likely the largest home of mentally ill inmates in the country. Associated Press

Building fights in the Valley:Welcome to Pacoima, where a charter school and L.A. Unified have worked together on the building of innovative classrooms, even as the school system and charter association battle in court over funds for future construction projects. Los Angeles Times

IMMIGRATION AND THE BORDER

Will the wall get built? President Trump’s “big, beautiful wall” is not in the $1-trillion spending plan to keep the government open through September, and Congress hasn’t shown much appetite for the idea. Los Angeles Times

The final green-card lottery? Even as Trump calls for dramatic restrictions on immigration, millions of people are hoping to win what could be the last U.S. green-card lottery. Washington Post

Inside a detention center: California’s largest immigration detention center is near San Bernardino. There are more than 1,800 immigrants there awaiting hearings or deportation after being arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Reuters

Cross-border bid: Meet the Cetys University women’s volleyball team, which is hoping to become the first Mexican member of the NCAA. New York Times

POLITICS AND GOVERNMENT

Drilling site complaints: Los Angeles city officials say that an oil drilling site at a Westside golf course has flouted city rules by repeatedly installing new equipment without city approval. Los Angeles Times

Deduct the deduction? A closer look at the proposed elimination of the federal deduction for local and state income taxes, a key aspect of the Trump tax plan. It is something that residents of high-income states such as California rely on to lower their tax rate. Californians deducted $101 billion in state income taxes in 2014, by far the most of any state. Los Angeles Times

How city employees’ pay stacks up: San Jose’s city manager and police chief led their counterparts at more than 200 other California cities in pay and benefits in 2016, and other Bay Area public employees received hundreds of thousands of dollars in overtime pay, new compensation data released Monday show. The Mercury News

What a meltdown: Joe Bray-Ali’s campaign for L.A. City Council has crashed hard, but maybe voters and political observers should’ve seen it coming. LA Weekly

CRIME AND COURTS

More details about the San Diego shooting: The man who opened fire on a pool party at a luxury San Diego apartment complex Sunday was distraught over a recent breakup and called his ex-girlfriend as he fired round after round, police said Monday. Peter Selis, a 49-year-old car mechanic who had been struggling with massive financial debt in recent weeks, killed one person and wounded several others before being fatally shot by police. Los Angeles Times

A law stands: The U.S. Supreme Court has again rejected a challenge to California’s ban on so-called gay conversion therapy, letting the 2012 law stand without comment. A San Diego minister and others had argued the law violated their 1st Amendment religious freedoms. Los Angeles Times

THE ENVIRONMENT

Wildfire: A fast-moving wildfire that threatened homes in Riverside County on Sunday grew to at least 1,350 acres early Monday, officials said. Los Angeles Times

Melting snow: The Sierra snowpack is huge — and melting fast. This could lead to large amounts of flooding this spring and into the summer. Sacramento Bee

Fun story: Here’s how a fishing boat in Sausalito is being used to save the state’s salmon population. ABC 7

CALIFORNIA CULTURE

A new arts center: Cheech Marin is teaming with the city of Riverside and the Riverside Art Museum to develop a Chicano art center. “It’ll be the one place worldwide that everybody can go to for all things Chicano art,” Marin said. Los Angeles Times

Where to go: Here are the some of the best things to eat in the Bay Area. San Francisco Chronicle

Where to go, Part 2: The Los Angeles Times Food Bowl began yesterday and goes all month. Here’s a list of all the events that will happen. Los Angeles Times

Fun for the summer: An iconic Mid-City roller rink, World on Wheels, will reopen this summer. LAist

CALIFORNIA ALMANAC

Sacramento and Los Angeles area: partly cloudy Tuesday, sunny Wednesday. San Diego and San Francisco area: sunny Tuesday and Wednesday. More weather is here.

AND FINALLY

Today’s California memory comes from Glenn Davis:

“The morning after the Rodney King verdict, I boarded a British Airways jet nonstop for LAX. I was in training for a commercial pilot rating at the time so knew our approach to L.A. would be ‘different.’ The pilot explained we were going out over Malibu (instead of the usual 52-mile straight-in approach) and landing downwind — as people were shooting at planes approaching the runways from the land side. Our 747 kept some extra speed to do that landing safely, then I was met by a driver in baggage claim to take me home to Irvine. The driver explained that the 405 was closed, but he was going to take it anyway, as it was the fastest way home, and no one was patrolling an empty freeway. In the car, he told me to get down behind the seats and don’t show my head. He was driving well in excess of 100 mph when we approached Long Beach. He told me to get up and look at the city — which seemed like a wall of flame. My sister was attending a convention there and was trapped in the Sheraton (I later found out) for four days.”

The prognosis for the GOP healthcare plan isn’t too good. I’m Davan Maharaj, editor in chief of the Los Angeles Times. Here are some story lines I don’t want you to miss today.

TOP STORIES

Repeal, Replace, Retreat?
It looks as if the third time won’t be the charm. The latest version of the Republican effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act is struggling for support, and a vote in the House seems unlikely before a recess at week’s end. Some observers wonder how much longer the GOP will keep trying, especially in the face of all those protest calls and the fact that no major group representing doctors, hospitals or patients has backed the plan.

Why the President Praises Strongmen
To many, the list reads like a rogues’ gallery: Kim Jong Un of North Korea, Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey, Abdel Fattah Sisi of Egypt. Trump isn’t the first president to reach out to renegade world leaders, but the speed and manner with which he’s doing so isn’t business as usual. Trump’s critics say it sends a dangerous message, while those closest to him say it’s part of a strategy.

More Politics
— Trump suggested a possible government shutdown in September, as Democrats claimed victory in the budget battles this time.
— When life gives you lemons: The California citrus industry was livid over the Trump administration’s decision to allow lemon imports from Argentina for the first time in 16 years.
— “If the election had been on Oct. 27, I would be your president”: Hillary Clinton took some responsibility for her loss, but mostly blamed “a lot of funny business going on.” Then Trump weighed in on Twitter.

A Luxe LAX Experience for the Haves
If going through Los Angeles International Airport seems nightmarish now, just wait till May 12, when Delta Air Lines moves terminals and 19 other carriers relocate. But if you have enough money, the pain of LAX can be reduced. For $7,500 a year, and $2,700 a flight, you can fly via the Private Suite, a terminal that caters to the super-rich. Columnist Steve Lopez got a taste of a service that promises an escape from long TSA lines and the paparazzi.

An Ounce of Homelessness Prevention for the Have-Nots
As L.A. County looks to combat homelessness, a new and largely unproven approach is emerging as a major component of the plan: spending more than $40 million over the next three years to prevent people from becoming homeless in the first place. It could be used to pay for rent, security deposits, moving expenses or legal aid. Based on recent tests, such a program would spend about $7,800 on each individual. In other words, about the same as that annual fee for the luxury LAX terminal.

The Art of Hollywood’s Deal
Hollywood breathed a collective sigh of relief after the Writers Guild of America and the major studios reached a tentative agreement on a new film and TV contract. “We didn’t get everything we wanted and they didn’t get everything they wanted,” said one person connected to the talks, “which is usually the result of a successful negotiation.” (Washington, are you listening?) Here’s how the deal shakes out for both sides.

From the NFL’s Trenches to the Yoga Mat
As a center for the San Diego Chargers, Nick Hardwick consumed at least 7,000 calories a day to maintain his playing weight of nearly 300 pounds. But when neck injuries ended his career in 2014, he wanted to rid himself of the excess baggage, even if he was limited in what activities he could do. Since then, he’s gone from lumbering lineman to health and fitness blogger.

Trump Names Rabid Marijuana Critic as Drug Czar 

Energy Secretary Probing Whether Green Energy Damages Power Grid


Dear Reader, 

On April 12th, some disturbing findings – in a 220-page book – were mailed to the White House. 

This book holds vast implications for this country, our economy, and Trump's hopes of being re-elected in 2020. 

The book comes from a 68 year old Maryland native, and counselor to governments, politicians, and businesses all over the world. 

He has worked on presidential campaigns and met with everyone from Margaret Thatcher to Ron Paul (a close friend), to most recently the former head of the Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan. 

The CEOs of two multi-million dollar financial research companies once credited their success almost entirely to knowing this man (and getting access to his wisdom). 

He once went to Eastern Europe to serve as an economic advisor after the fall of the Soviet Union. 

In Central America, he helped the Nicaraguan government bring medical care to the poor. They were so thankful that they made him their honorary consul to Europe. 

Back here in the US, he once used his wealth to buy up and renovated an entire section of his hometown. The mayor honored him with a city ambassadorship. 

The man at his mountain ranch
Yet, if you asked him he would downplay his own success and connections. 

As Worth Magazine once described him in a profile: 

"Meet Bill Bonner... a quiet and gentle man – idolized by staffers, liked and admired even by competitors... The sense of real begins with Bonner's earnestness... uncomfortable with the notion of success"

On April 12th this same man sent a book to the White House. 

And it details an important change coming to your way of life... 

One brought on by a type of financial event not seen in this country since before the Civil War. 

This book is unlike anything you've seen before. Not only does it reveal some very uncomfortable truths about our economy like...
  • The true cause of things like racism, drug use, and violence in our inner cities (you've never heard it spoken like this anywhere)

  • How the Federal Reserve will begin to "nationalize" billions of financial and real assets like stocks and bonds (central banks in Japan are already doing this)

  • And many more...
It also contains unique ideas regular Americans can use to protect themselves from what's coming. Things like...
  • 11 gold and cash alternatives (and what to do if gold is confiscatedlike in 1933)

  • How to store money (no paper trail) in an anonymous dollar account (without using bitcoin or logging onto some website you can't trust.) These actually are available at some pharmacies.

  • The only legal way we know of to never pay taxes again to the federal government (it all depends on where you live)
You will find the facts within this report truly incredible. They are all true. 

What's more, this entire book is now available for the general public to claim online at this address

Or simply CLICK HERE for the full story now. 

Fair warning: you may not be ready for what you're about to learn concerning the US economy... Washington... and a financial meltdown six times bigger than 2008... 

Sincerely, 

Will Bonner

The US Plan to Neutralize North Korea Doesn’t Involve the Military

Searching for the Coherent Philosophy behind Trumpism

Andrew Sullivan takes the writers and thinkers who were most enthusiastic about Donald Trump’s ascension to the presidency seriously, and the result is a portrait that is surprisingly sympathetic in places, but undeniably critical in parts.

As with most things in life, the question is where you draw the line. Here’s a really key line: What separates “we’re not assimilating new immigrants as fast and as well as we should” from “I don’t want immigrants”?

Sullivan:

Neo-reactionary unease with mass immigration is exacerbated by what they see as the administrative state’s shift from belief in a “melting pot” model in which all immigrants assimilate to a common American culture to the multicultural model, where the government, business, and society recognize different languages and celebrate ethnic diversity over national unity. [National Security Council staffer Michael] Anton notes that America is now “a country in which Al Gore mistranslates pluribus unum as ‘Out of one, many’ and in his error is actually more accurate to the spirit of our times.” The problems of ethnic division are further compounded by the view growing among the elites that America itself is at root a racist white construction, and that “assimilation” is therefore an inherently bigoted idea.

The U.S. takes in 1 million legal immigrants per year, more legal immigrants than any other country in the world, and some contend more legal immigrants than the rest of the world combined. (It’s probably not quite that high, probably about one-third of the rest of the world’s total, but that’s still pretty darn high.) From this figure, we can pretty much dismiss anyone claiming that America is a “xenophobic” country or doesn’t welcome immigrants. Someone making that assertion wants to argue feelings instead of numbers because they don’t like doing math.

If we reduced that rate of legal immigration from 1 million per year to 800,000, or 750,000, or 500,000… is that xenophobic? “Anti-immigrant”? Nick Gillespie and the guys at Reason love to label any support for reducing any legal immigration by any amount as being “anti-immigrant.” (Gillespie supports open borders. That’s not a knee-jerk sneer or exaggeration, that’s his actual position.)

Again, a lot of these debates come down to where you draw the line. Back during the big NR debate about nationalism, Rich and Ramesh wrote, “The country’s founding ideals, history, and institutions barely enter into [Trump’s] worldview… The elements of American nationalism that Trump scants are moderating influences on it” — and I thought, “that’s a pretty big deal!” That element could very well be the dividing line between a force that is constructive and a force that is destructive.

It’s worth noting that some corners of the “Trump intellectual class” — for lack of a better term — sound completely off their rockers, and fundamentally at odds with American values and traditions:

Curtis Yarvin takes Kesler’s and Anton’s dismay at modern America to new and dizzying heights — and reactionism to its logical conclusion. A geeky computer programmer in his 40s, he writes a reactionary blog, Unqualified Reservations, under the pseudonym Mencius Moldbug and has earned a cult following among the alt-right. His magnum opus — “An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives” — is an alternately chilling and entertaining assault on almost everything educated Westerners hold to be self-evidently true. His critique of our present is not that we need a correction to return us to traditional notions of national culture and to unseat the administrative state and its elites; it is that we need to take the whole idea of human “progress” itself and throw it in the trash can. Things didn’t start going wrong in the 1960s or under the Progressives. Yarvin believes that the Western mind became corrupted during the Enlightenment itself. The very idea of democracy, allied with reason and constitutionalism, is bunk: “Washington has failed. The Constitution has failed. Democracy has failed.” His golden era: the age of monarchs. (“It is hard not to imagine that world as happier, wealthier, freer, more civilized, and more pleasant.”) His solution: “It is time for restoration, for national salvation, for a full reboot. We need a new government, a clean slate, a fresh hand which is smart, strong and fair.”

Go back to monarchy?!? Sir, our Founding Fatherswould like a word with you.

The Father of our Country says you’re grounded.

Only the Presidency Keeps a Presidential Narrative Viable

Lee Smith looks back and analyzes how the Obama administration sold the Iran deal, and how those arguments — such as, “if you don’t support a deal that frees up billions for a regime that threatens war, then you’re a warmonger” — are collapsing with their departure from office:

There are no winners in war, only losers. The most arduous nuclear inspection regime in history involves letting Iran inspect its own nuclear sites. Funding a state at war won’t fill its war chest. Rewarding a state sponsor of terror for its activities makes that state less likely to sponsor terror. Deterrence doesn’t work.

The logic at work in some of the more popular arguments made by Obama aides and their validators in the press wasn’t dialectical or paradoxical; e.g., if you want peace, prepare for war. It was Gladwellian—what’s really true is the opposite of whatever you think is true. Of course, that’s not journalism, it’s just marketing, or, in contemporary journalism-speak, Voxsplaining, after the popular liberal website Vox, which devoted itself in its entirety to counter-intuitive self-branded “hot takes”designed to showcase the wisdom of whatever the current Obama administration policy was.

Chatting with a group of conservative bloggers who are particularly focused on Israel policy recently, we came to the same conclusion as Smith: The reason the Iran deal worked was because Obama won in 2012 and the GOP congress had few options to stop an agreement that didn’t need to be ratified by the Senate. The deal was never popular; most polling indicated great skepticism and wariness.

Smith continues:

Why does the inverted wisdom of the echo chamber now strike readers as transparently mendacious and silly? Because policymaking is not quite the same as advertising and PR. The Obama administration sold the Iran deal not because of its copywriting talents and facility in framing and manipulating “connectors” and “mavens” but because it controlled the White House. The president of the United States is the single most powerful person in the world. Almost everything he decides to push against, especially in the area of foreign policy, is an open door.

The slogans that the Obama echo chamber used to sell the Iran Deal sound weird now because Obama is no longer in the White House. So what does it mean that “everybody knows” that the deal to rid Bashar al-Assad of his chemical weapons didn’t actually rid him of his chemical weapons, which he uses with regularity to murder civilians, including patients in hospitals?

That’s not a paradox, it’s not a Gladwellism, and there is nothing clever about it. What the slogan means now is that they lied, and made America complicit in Assad’s war crimes. It’s no surprise that admission doesn’t sound clever, and that it makes people angry.

Trump and the Congressional GOPAre Doing Something: Repealing Regulations

Can the Congressional Review Act be exciting? I tried.

The CRA allows Congress to review and repeal any government regulation within 60 congressional working days of its issuance. Due to recesses, weekends, and holidays, 60 working days generally translates into six calendar months or more. For rules issued with less than 60 working days left in the current Congress, the 60-day review clock starts over in the next Congress. Moreover, once a regulation is repealed, the agency cannot enact any “substantially similar” rule without approval from Congress. In the closing months of the Obama administration, federal agencies enacted a slew of red tape before the new cabinet secretaries arrived. The GOP Congress and Trump are now going through those rules and weeding out ones they find unacceptable.

In the final months of the Obama administration, federal agencies unveiled new rules requiring federal contractors to report worker complaints that are unverified and still being litigated; a rule barring states from denying federal money to institutions that perform abortions; a rule that could bar 4 or 5 million people who need assistance from the Social Security Administration from purchasing guns; an unfunded mandate requiring schools to evaluate and assess their teacher preparation programs; new restrictions on land use that pleased environmentalists, and new restrictions on hunting in Alaska. All of those are now off the books because of the GOP Congress and Trump.

Repealing regulations isn’t the most glamorous work in the world, but necessary and important. Conservatives ought to give both Trump administration and the congressional GOP credit for this.

Could this Trump interview signal the impending financial Armageddon?

In December 2016, Trump was criticizing the Fed for keeping low rates for too long.

This created a false stock market – which was leading to one big, NASTY bubble.

Trump promised he would change that once he took office…

But only a couple of days ago, in an interview with the WSJ, Trump’s position has changed completely.

He now says that he prefers low interest rates and a weak dollar…

AND he says that he is even considering reappointing former Fed Chair Janet Yellen… the same Yellen he criticized in his 2016 Campaign for pandering to Obama’s socialist legacy.

If this doesn’t raise alarm bells about an impending recession, I don’t know what will.

This video is only a small preview of the upcoming financial chaos.

The ones who worked honestly…

Saved their money…

Cut down on their mortgages – those are the people that are going to suffer most.

Find out how to prepare before it happens.

To your financial success,

Frank Mitchell

P.S. Trump’s announcement doesn’t come as a surprise to me. I’ve been preparing for this crisis for more than 24 months now. If you care about your financial security, hear me out.

                              Silver Britannia BU

Celebrate the 20th anniversary of a modern British classic in 99.9% pure silver!

For hundreds of years, the image of the warrior queen "Britannia " has been a powerful symbol of Great Britain's historic stability and international influence -- "the nation in female form."

Think of her as the English "Miss Liberty." She's graced British coins of the realm from the Roman Emperor Hadrian (117-139 AD) to Britain's William III in 1696 ... and into the 21st century!

This year commemorates the 20th anniversary of The Royal Mint's modern One-Ounce Silver Britannia, an iconic world coin on par with the U.S. Silver Eagle, Canada's Silver Maple Leaf and China's Silver Panda.

    Coin Highlights
  • Struck in one Troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver
  • Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition
  • Original "Coin of the Year" reverse design
  • 20th anniversary privy mark
  • £2 Great Britain legal tender
  • 38.61 mm diameter

Struck in one Troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver, the 2017 Silver Britannia features the original "Coin of the Year" Standing Britannia design, as well as Queen Elizabeth's most recent portrait.

But look closely and you'll see some distinct new additions -- including a new 20th anniversary privy mark on the top fork of Britannia's trident, and a guilloché pattern behind Her Majesty's image for additional security.

For history, design and value, this 20th Anniversary One-Ounce Silver Britannia is a modern classic destined to match -- or surpass -- its many predecessors. But only 120,000 will be minted for the entire world. So don't wait to order yours!

What Washington's Talking About


Jim DeMint’s Heritage Foundation
 
“The Heritage Foundation has played a storied role in the spread of conservative ideas going back to its founding in 1973. But in recent years the think tank has lost its way, and on Tuesday the Heritage board removed President and CEO Jim DeMint, the former South Carolina Republican Senator. … The essential problem is that Heritage abandoned its mission to promote ideas in order to become a political muscle shop. … Led by political operative Michael Needham, Heritage Action has become a Beltway enforcer of whatever political strategy Mr. Needham and his band of internet allies think Republicans should pursue. Longtime Heritage principles like free trade were thrown over for political expediency. … [I]f the board wants to return Heritage to its previous influence it will have to return to its original mission. Heritage Action has become an obstacle to conservative progress.” [Editorial, Wall Street Journal]
 
“[I]nterviews with over a dozen sources at the center of the drama suggest Heritage's stewards — particularly DeMint's predecessor, Ed Feulner, and Feulner's sharp-elbowed protégé, Mike Needham — became convinced that DeMint was incapable of renewing the foundation's place as an intellectual wellspring of the conservative movement.” [Eliana Johnson and Nancy Cook, Politico]

EXCLUSIVE: Claim Your Free 72-Hour Survival Food Kit Now…

In a crisis, your #1 need is food.

But not just any food...

Experts say everyone needs to have non-perishable, good for 25 years survival food on hand in case of an emergency.

Sadly, most folks don’t even have the minimum amount of non-perishable food needed to make it through just a few days.

Here’s the good news…

Right now - in what is truly an unprecedented move -72-hour Food4Patriots survival food kits are being given away to readers of this email list as long as they beat the program deadline and while supplies last.

This kit normally sells for $27.00 plus shipping/handling and contains 4 servings each of delicious, homemade favorites like Liberty Bell Potato Cheddar Soup, Blue Ribbon Creamy Chicken Rice, Travelers Stew and the always-loved Granny's Home-style Potato Soup.

Food4Patriots survival foods are made of the finest ingredients, grown and packaged right here in the USA. They taste great and provide the nutrition you need.

Recent advancements in the processing and packaging have led to this food being guaranteed fresh for an amazing 25 years. Packages are made of military-grade Mylar, the same material used to protect NASA astronauts.

This 72-hour kit gets rave reviews from customers – over 75% gave 4- and 5-star reviews!

"Survival food is more important today than ever before.," explains Frank Bates, a spokesman for the company. "Natural disasters, terrorist attacks and other threats can make obtaining sufficient food impossible in an emergency."

"And let's face it...none of us wants to ever rely on this or any government to feed us in a crisis," Bates says.

But if you act quickly, you can get a complementary 72-hour kit just for the $9.95 shipping and handling fee.

"We're trying to ensure that no one who wants this free food misses out, but they have to hurry because we have a limited supply of the 72-hour kits we can give away," Bates warned. "Once word got out that folks could actually get free survival food, we had to add extra customer service staff to keep up with incredible demand."

There is still time to take advantage of this offer, but be aware that supplies are limited and the program may end at any time.

White House Backs Off Shutdown Threat

“Believe me, if we have to close down our government, we’re building that wall,” President Trump said of his planned border wall with Mexico 10 days ago. Just two days later, though, White House officials told Congress that a short-term spending bill to fund the government into December wouldn’t have to include $1.6 billion for the wall, The Washington Post reports.

Trump still wants money for the wall to be included in a December budget bill, and he could follow through on his shutdown threat at that point. For now, though, an agreement on a “continuing resolution” to keep the government running after September 30 seems likelier, allowing Congress to deal with some of the other pressing issues it faces this month.

Meet the Self-Proclaimed ‘Right-Wing Nutjob’ Behind Trump’s Budget

Here’s a perfect Labor Day weekend longread for anyone interested in the budget or the dynamics of the Trump White House: Politico’s Michael Grunwald profiles Mick Mulvaney, President Trump’s budget director.

“Republicans have said for years that government should only take people’s money to provide absolutely vital services, but Mulvaney truly believes it—and as the head of the powerful Office of Management and Budget, he’s got the perfect job to try to act on it,” Grunwald writes.

Some key takeaways from the piece:

  • Mulvaney tells how he tried to get Trump to reform Social Security and Medicare, but the president refused. Trump went along with about $70 billion in cuts to Social Security Disability insurance after Mulvaney described the program as welfare.
  • The OMB director “says he plans to keep pressing for Medicare and Social Security retirement reforms, even if Trump keeps shooting him down.”
  • Mulvaney, who helped start the House Freedom Caucus, proposed calling the group the Reasonable Nutjob Caucus and cheerfully introduced himself to White House Chief Economic Adviser Gary Cohn as a “right-wing nutjob.” He keeps a copy of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged in his office.
  • He acknowledges that working for Trump, not exactly a movement conservative, in a West Wing full of conflicting ideologies has been an adjustment: “My friends tell me, Mulvaney, you’re the hard-core right-winger, you’re dealing with a president who’s not on the same page all the time, you must be losing all the time. I’m like, well, at least I’m losing at the very highest levels!”
  • He may not win every battle, but Mulvaney wields plenty of influence in driving the administration’s efforts to cut government spending and regulations, and he wrote Trump’s budget, which included steep cuts in non-defense discretionary spending. And he won a fight to limit proposed increases in Trump’s defense spending to $54 billion, well shy of the $100 billion Steve Bannon and some at the Pentagon had sought.
  • Mulvaney’s budget, and some of the gimmicks it used, were slammed on Capitol Hill — and undercut his support among OMB analysts. Some “feel like he is conscripting them into a partisan crusade to dismantle government, while trashing the technocratic norms he pledged to uphold,” Grunwald writes. “[A] lot of us feel nauseous about what he’s doing,” one unnamed OMB analyst says. Another adds: “Presidents always play games with budgets, but never to this extent.”

Grunwald has much more on Mulvaney and his efforts to transform federal spending. Read the full, roughly 13,000 word profile here.

Americans Spend More on Taxes Than on Food and Clothing


Some new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics highlights one big reason why tax reform might resonate with Americans. As CNSNews.com first pointed out, and a number of mostly conservative news outlets have repeated, U.S. households last year paid more in personal taxes than they spent on food and clothing combined.

The average “consumer unit” tracked by the BLS — families, single people living alone or living with others but still financially independent, or two or more people living together and sharing expenses — paid $10,489 in personal taxes, including $8,367 to the federal government and $2,046 in state and local income taxes. The average food bill for 2016 was $7,203, while the average spent on clothing was $1,803. Combined, the average for food and clothing totaled $9,006, or about $1,500 less than the average taxes paid. (Some of the other spending averages worth pointing out: $18,886 on housing, $9,049 on transportation, $4,612 on health care and $2,913 on entertainment.)

There’s good news buried in that comparison: Tax bills went up 40 percent from 2013 to 2016 in part because incomes rose by 17 percent over that period, and after-tax income climbed about 14 percent. But the pinch from paying taxes has gone up too, even if taxes as a share of income remains low overall: 14 percent in 2016 compared with 11.7 percent in 2013.

Quote of the Day


“This is going to change the whole dynamic for September and, quite frankly, for the Republican establishment for the remainder of the 115th Congress. The truth of the matter is, they don’t need money to build a wall in Texas, but to rebuild the shoreline in Texas.”

The $500 Billion Question at the Heart of the Tax Cut Debate

There’s a wonk fight heating up as President Trump and Republicans push ahead with their effort to pass a package of tax cuts this year. The debate centers on just how to measure the fiscal effects of any tax reform bill, and how it’s resolved will help determine just how big the GOP tax cuts can be and whether they will add another half-trillion dollars to budget deficits. 

This gets a bit technical, but stick with us — there’s a lot at stake, after all.  

At issue is what assumptions are included in the budget baseline used to score tax changes: current policy or current law. Current policy assumes that Congress will continue doing what it has done in the past, regardless of what various laws actually say. This is important because many “temporary” tax breaks are regularly extended by Congress, often at Christmastime — an annual gift to special interests of all kinds, from rum producers to racehorse owners. Alternatively, using current law to define the budget baseline assumes that laws mean what they say, and that a break will expire when a given piece of legislation says it will.  

The choice of a baseline is critical in this case because any tax changes must be “revenue neutral” after 10 years for the Senate to be able to pass them under the so-called reconciliation process that requires a simple majority vote. 

Some conservatives are lining up to defend the current policy baseline, in the hopes of passing larger tax cuts. The Heritage Foundation wants Congress to give “tax cuts a fighting chance” by using the current policy baseline. The Wall Street Journal editorial board says Republicans should “press ahead with the baseline that best reflects reality” — and that provides a bigger tax cut, worth another five percentage point reduction in corporate taxes. 

Groups opposed to big tax cuts are pushing for the current law baseline. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities decries the current policy approach as an “arcane maneuver” that “hides $439 billion in tax cuts worth at least $40,000 a year for the top 0.1 percent.” But it’s not just liberal groups that are opposed to the current policy standard. Deficit hawks at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget are also speaking out against it, saying it would allow deficits to rise by $462 billion more than a current law baseline: “Using a current policy baseline disguises a half-trillion dollar tax cut as ‘paid for’ even though deficits would increase.”

7 Smart Takes on Trump’s Tax Speech  

 

Middle-Class Tax Cuts Won’t Be Cheap or Easy: "The third principle outlined by the President – lowering taxes for middle-class families – is probably the most challenging one. This is because providing tax relief is expensive, leading to lower revenue for the federal government. Meanwhile, Republicans are trying to pass a tax bill through the reconciliation process, which prohibits legislation from increasing the federal deficit in the long run. Trying to pass a large middle-class tax cut alongside a tax reform package could make the legislative math very difficult." – Scott Greenberg, Tax Foundation  

This Was Not an Effective Sales Pitch: “So, it looks as if the upper-middle class from the Northeast and West Coast (who use mortgage and state-and-local-tax deductions) will pay for most of a corporate and estate tax cut, with impact on truly middle-class folks unclear. … Yesterday, Trump devoted one full paragraph to cutting personal taxes, and parts of a few others. This speech was about corporate taxes, with all else an afterthought. So is the ‘reform.’” – Tim Mullaney, MarketWatch  

Who Will Benefit From a Corporate Tax Cut: “The official Joint Committee on Taxation, as well as the Treasury Department and the independent Tax Policy Center, all say shareholders bear roughly three-quarters of the burden of the corporate tax, and therefore would be the main winners were it cut. The administration rejects those studies, pointing to other analyses showing workers bearing the brunt of the tax. … But his plan could actually raise taxes for some low-income people, though, because he wants to end the head-of-household filing status that benefits single parents.” – Brian Faler, Politico 

What Voters Really Want: “In a Gallup poll from April, six in 10 Americans overall said upper-income earners pay too little in taxes. They've said the same thing in Gallup surveys going back a quarter-century as income inequality has widened in the U.S. economy. The blue-collar white voters in Trump's base feel the same way – even more strongly.” – John Harwood, CNBC  

What About the Deficit?: “In laying out what he called his principles for a tax overhaul, Mr. Trump made no mention of insisting that cuts be offset by corresponding increases to avoid adding to the deficit, essentially acknowledging publicly what his aides have privately for weeks: that he is willing to accept a plan that adds to the deficit, which had long been considered anathema to many conservative Republicans.” – Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Binyamin Appelbaum, New York Times  

Trump Didn’t Make Republicans’ Job Any Easier: “[B]y embracing a 15 percent tax rate for pass-through businesses (with no accompanying anti-abuse rules), a new child care subsidy, and a special low rate for unrepatriated foreign income Trump seemed to be endorsing three new provisions that could meet the definition of special interest loopholes. … It will be especially difficult for [congressional Republicans] to close specific ‘special interest loopholes’ without backing from Trump or Hill Democrats.” – Howard Gleckman, Tax Policy Center  

Tax Reform Could End Up Like Obamacare Repeal: “I'm ready to go on record and predict that there will be no tax reform law, just as there was no new health care law. Trump will make the same mistakes he made last time -- and so will the Republican majority in the Senate.” – Joe Nocera, BloombergView

Trump’s Insubordination Problem

Rich Lowry

Donald Trump told us that he’d hire the best people. He didn’t mention that he’d be unable to fire them. The president is experiencing a bout of insubordination from his top officials the likes of which we haven’t witnessed in the modern era. It’s not unusual to have powerful officials at war among themselves, or in the...

What Washington's Talking About


Trump’s Populism
 
“Mr. Trump is selling pro-growth policies—something his party has forgotten how to do. And there’s nothing very ‘populist’ about it, at least not by today’s political standards. The left has defined the tax debate for decades in terms of pure class warfare. Republicans have so often been cast as stooges for the rich that the GOP is scared to make the full-throated case for a freer and fairer tax system. … Mr. Trump isn’t playing this game—and that’s why the left is unhappy. … In Missouri, Mr. Trump busted up the left’s class-warfare model. He didn’t make tax reform about blue-collar workers fighting corporate America. Instead it was a question of ‘our workers’ and ‘our companies’ and ‘our country’ competing against China.” [Kimberley A. Strassel, Wall Street Journal]

Chemical Blasts Release Hazardous Waste into Houston Waters

Philip H. DeVoe

Making the clickthrough worthwhile: Chemical explosions add more danger to Houston, a banana peel sparks a conversation on race at Ole Miss, and a Slate op-ed praises the socialist behavior Harvey has brought to Houston.

The Latest Catastrophe in Houston

Explosions at a Houston-area chemical plant have complicated rescue efforts and escalated the danger in a region already grappling with Hurricane Harvey:

When the hurricane blew in, workers at the Arkema chemical plant in Crosby, Tex., faced the problem of keeping the plant’s volatile chemicals cold. The plant had 19.5 tons of organic peroxides of various strengths, all of them requiring refrigeration to prevent ignition.

But the power went out, and then the floodwaters came and knocked out the plant’s generators. A ...

Tactical Advantage of Navy SEAL Teams
 
Dear Reader,
 
You’ve never heard of the man I am about to introduce, and there’s good reason for that.
 
He works in anonymity... yet with deadly precision.
 
As a former Navy SEAL sniper and platoon commander, Cade Courtley has spent much of his adult life in harm’s way.
 
So when he talks about self-defense, gear or survival tactics, you would be wise to listen.
 

And today Cade’s revealing a tool SEALs use regularly that could help you protect your home and your family. 
 
It’s no secret U.S. Navy SEAL elite forces have major advantages over their targets. Superior training, state of the art weapons and advanced tactics all play a role.
 
But one critical advantage trumps them all. (You can watch Cade demonstrate it right here.)
 
And today, Cade wants to give you the same advantage used by SEAL teams to keep you and your family safe in a crisis.
 
Click here to see the video and claim it for yourself.
 
Stay safe,
 
Doug Hill
Director, Laissez Faire Club

What Washington's Talking About


Dems' 2020 Dilemma
 
“Old but well-known vs. fresh but anonymous: That’s how the 2020 Democratic presidential field is shaping up so far — and it’s causing anxiety within a party starting to acknowledge that President Donald Trump could be harder to beat for reelection than the base would like to admit.” [Edward-Isaac Dovere, Politico]

Google’s Hold Over Think Tanks
 
“In the hours after European antitrust regulators levied a record $2.7 billion fine against Google in late June, an influential Washington think tank learned what can happen when a wealthy tech giant is criticized. The New America Foundation has received more than $21 million from Google. … But not long after one of New America’s scholars posted a statement on the think tank’s website praising the European Union’s penalty against Google, [Eric] Schmidt, who had been chairman of New America until 2016, communicated his displeasure with the statement to the group’s president, Anne-Marie Slaughter, according to the scholar [Barry Lynn]. … Ms. Slaughter told Mr. Lynn that ‘the time has come for Open Markets and New America to part ways,’ according to an email from Ms. Slaughter to Mr. Lynn. The email suggested that the entire Open Markets team — nearly 10 full-time employees and unpaid fellows — would be exiled from New America.” [Kenneth P. Vogel, New York Times]
 
Are Think Tanks Doomed? Nope. They’re poised for a comeback. [Daniel W. Drezner, Politico]

Now, making the clickthrough worthwhile: the prosecution releases the details of Senator Bob Menendez’s case, Politico eulogizes the “death” of Texas’s rugged individualism, and baseball errs (and then makes amends) with its plans for the Astros.

Dear Fellow American,

There has been a major uproar recently over removing statues and monuments people find offensive.

It started with confederate statues… Moved on to Christopher Columbus…

Now there is even talk of removing the monuments that honor our founding fathers like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

Where do we draw the line?

Well, conservatives are now targeting a specific statue they’d like to see removed:

How about you?

Do you think the statue honoring former President Barrack Obama should be removed?

Let your opinion be heard today by taking part in this nationwide poll.

Vote Now.

Regards,

Mark Patricks
