Hostile Court

A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments late yesterday afternoon in a case challenging President Trump's order pausing immigration from seven nations known to be hotbeds of radical Islamic terrorism. A decision is expected at any time. To most observers, the judges seemed hostile to the government's position.

Judging Trump's Order

Friday afternoon, a federal judge in Seattle suspended President Trump's executive order halting refugees from entering the country. Over the weekend, an emergency request by the Trump Administration to reinstate the president's order was denied. I think it is important to revisit the issue to better understand why President Trump took the action he did.

Targeting Tehran

In yet another dramatic break from the past eight years, the Trump Administration announced this morning that it was imposing new sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Gorsuch Is Great!

Americans who care about the intent of our Founding Fathers were ecstatic last night when President Trump announced that Judge Neil Gorsuch was his choice to fill the Scalia vacancy on the Supreme Court. The rollout of the nomination was extraordinary.

In recent days, the media and the left have been pushing the narrative that Trump doesn't know what he is doing and that there is chaos in the administration. But last night's announcement was masterful.
