Good Friday means different things to different people. For me, it’s the day I met my only pet. This was no puppy, iguana, or goldfish.

President Donald Trump's mandate from the voters undoubtedly gives him wide latitude to close the border to illegal aliens, which he has done.

The Department of Justice has more than 10,000 attorneys standing around looking for something legitimate to do, now that the Trump Administration has shut down their liberal lawfare against conservatives.
