Last Month, U.S. Senator Rand Paul stood before the senate, rejecting the Republican’s proposed 10-year budget. His reasoning: The budget would send this country $9.7 trillion further into debt. We might be new to the political content game, but sending this country further into debt doesn’t seem like it’s in line with traditional Conservative values. While the Republicans have continued to focus on repealing Obamacare, they’ve taken their eyes off the debt, which is ultimately a greater threat to this country.

Understand, this opposition didn’t come from some a Democratic Senator, hailing from the Northeast Seaboard. It came from a Republican Senator out of Kentucky, who has consistently been critical of this country’s spending. Are we seeing the death of conservative economic values? [/one-half]

Andrew Puzder, President Trump’s pick to be the next Labor secretary, has withdrawn his nomination following growing pushback from Senate Republicans and others over his business background and personal life.  Looks like Mr. Pudzer will just have to keep being the CEO of CKE Restaurants, parent company of fast-food chains Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr.

Tough luck, Andy. You’re going to have to stick with that multi-million dollar income, rather than give it up and go to work for the government.

Did you want fries with that?

Like Moses returning from the desert, but having been wandering for only for 8 years instead of a biblical 40, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was back to visit the White House today. And what a difference a change of administration makes….  “With this visit, the United States again reaffirms our unbreakable bond with our cherished ally, Israel,” Trump said.
Netanyahu’s smile told the whole story.
