Im not going to be bullied or influenced by anybody, and i said whether congress, newspapers, editorial boards or the president. Really . What a smack. Such defiance, such that i have to suspect that punch is a ploy. Distract the media with the drama while ignoring the fact that the explanation for barr about how it happened here with stone, tough to believe. Another clue to a potential canard.

Trump telling barr what to do about this sentence or barr just having trumps interests so far in front of anything else that he didn

That will give money to the national guard, strengthen the border. Theyll change the 2008 Human Trafficking law so it makes children from Central America easier to deport, not giving them the due process aforforded under that law. Number two, though, is fascinating. This is something that got a lot of attention. Daca, which the president moved forward in 2012, which allowed dreamers here to stay in the United States, the house is going to vote to withhold federal funding of daca. On top of that, try and limit the president s ability to deal with executive actions on anything pertaining to immigration and illegals. The language is still being crafted as we speak. Theyve not gone to the rules committee. This has not been moved forward yet to the house floor. The clock is ticking. They said theyre going to stay here until they get it done.

Were going to start with some developing news on the economic front. This data just out this morning. Revised data released just a few minutes ago shows that Consumer Spending is fueling major growth at an average of 4 over the last six months of 2013. Thats the strongest pace in a decade. Now, the revisions also show growth was slightly weaker than we originally believed in 2011 and 2012, but these new strong 2013 numbers are sure to be part of the president s economic speech that hell be giving later today in kansas city.
