TRUMP SLAMS 9th CIRCUIT President Trump criticized a decision by a federal judge in California that overturned his executive order on immigration. “It just shows everyone how broken and unfair our court system is when the opposing side in a case (such as DACA) always runs to the 9th Circuit and almost always wins before being reversed by higher courts,” said President Trump. http://cvote.it/2CYNv3r

WALL During a press conference with the Norwegian Prime Minister, President Trump reiterated that any immigration deal has to include the wall. “We need the wall for safety. We need the wall for stopping the drugs from pouring in. I would imagine that the people in the room — both Democrat and Republican — I really believe they’re going to come up with a solution to the DACA problems.” http://cvote.it/2CZVRYl

WAY TO GO, NEBRASKA! We usually hear left-wing Christians talk about how a budget is a moral document. They usually say when they’re calling for more welfare spending. But what Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts said is music to our ears. In calling for an end to all state subsidies to abortion giant Planned Parenthood, Gov. Ricketts said: “Nebraska is a pro-life state, and the state’s budget should reflect those values.” http://cvote.it/2D0PEeR
DEATH THREATS AGAINST FCC CHAIR He’s a minority. He’s a government official. And he’s getting death threats. You would think the press coverage would be wall-to-wall. But FCC chairman Ajit Pai is a conservative Republican, so the media has been almost silent about the relentless vitriol and actual harassment that he and his family have endured. http://cvote.it/2CZ6hYu
