that the council showed a chronic bias against Israel. But the announcement

Turn On Trump About Border
As President Donald Trump arrived on Capitol Hill Tuesday to talk immigration

The
Truth About Trump Separating Families
Family separation on the border only occurs under one of the following
conditions: 1) If a migrant adult falsely claims to be a parent, or 2)
is a threat to the child, or 3) is charged with a crime, such as illegal
entry. The Obama administration did separate families, sometimes by thousands
of miles by deporting male migrants a long distance from their point of
entry under the Alien Transfer Exit Program. InfoWars

got here: Cyber Command, the Department of Defense's unified command for
cyberwarfare, was conceived under President George W. Bush. It has been
elevated in the chain of command under President Trump, who gave it increased
autonomy as part of a Defense-wide effort to give the military more agility.

Minimum
Wage For Waiters, Most Controversial Issue In Washington DC Primary
On Tuesday, voters in Washington, D.C. take to the polls to vote in
primaries across the district. Since D.C. is a one-party state, Democrats
are practically shoe-ins, and this year few incumbents face real challenges
in the primaries. The most controversial issue is a ballot initiative that
would raise the minimum wage for wait staff. The nation's capital has
a tiered minimum wage: $3.33 per hour for tipped staff (waiters, waitresses,
busboys, and bartenders), and $11.50 for everyone else. Employers must
bring the worker up to minimum wage if tips don't do the job. Initiative
77 would change that, and quite a few waiters and more than a few local
politicians oppose it. PJ Media
