The records of nearly 22 Million People were stolen from opm computers. U. S. Officials are not saying who is behind the attack, but many are pointing the finger at china. The chinese will use this to spy on us. This gives them an immense intelligence advantage. Millions of americans are receiving letters telling them their data is at risk.

R. 3009, the enforce the law for sanctuary cities act. This thoroughly flawed measure is a blatant attempt by the most of the majority to insert its antiimmigrant status agenda into local policing initiatives.
