"Here is what I don't understand, I don't understand how Jews in America can be Democrats first and Jewish second and support Israel along the line of just following their President," King, a hardline conservative from Iowa, said Friday on Boston Herald Radio, "It says this, they're knee-jerk supporters of the President's policy," King said.

The rare exception: his immigration plan. As president, Trump says he would eject some 11 million undocumented workers from the country. He cites a specific model for his proposal: "Operation Wetback," an aggressive and unprecedented sweep by U.S.

They tried this a long time ago and it was considered a shameful chapter in american history because they were mean to people when they did it didn't even try to make it a little easy on them.

I think that a big change is coming in the United States. If Trump becomes president, there will no longer be peace in the place we call home. There will be so many people refusing to do what he says he wants to do. I personally feel that he doesn't have the right to say whether or not they are here. If it didn't work before, it won't work now. And him just trying it will cause conflict everywhere.

Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski says that the candidate isn't afraid of Thursday night's debate. "He's not afraid to take a question," he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America." "The issue is an issue of fairness," he added, claiming that Fox News anchor Megyn...

Donald Trump's campaign manager is saying that Donald trump is not afraid of losing the caucus because there is never a fair debate and he will still run and answer all the questions people throw at him.

I think that Trump is pulling out of the debate, not because he's intimidated, but I think it may be a way of seeing how many supporters he has. At the end of the article, it says that there is expected to be substantially less viewers. I'm thinking that this is Trump's way of seeing how many suporters he has now, and see how hard he has to work in the future to get more suporters.

"Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a complaint in federal court against the United States, State Department and the International Rescue Committee, seeking a stay of federal plans to settle any Syrian refugees in his state."

I think that we should take refugees in because they're trying to get out of that environment and the U.S could be a lot of help to them, but I also think we should keep our eyes opened because we don't know who is a threat and who isn't. It's a tough decision to be honest.

I think that it's up to the government and not the individual states to decide whether to let the immigrants in or not

The White House said Obama and Bloomberg "discussed ways to keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have access to them and what more could be done at the state and local level to help address gun violence in America."‎ As leader of the nation's largest

"In a few weeks, some 6,000 inmates will be released from federal prison because of sweeping changes in U.S. sentencing guidelines for nonviolent drug offenses, approved last year. It's part of a move to overhaul the American criminal justice system, which incarcerates more citizens than any other nation in the world."

I agree with what is going on because then they can become productive tax paying citizens, rather than being given everything in prison. If they are put into the real world they will have to shape up to some extent. If they have already done time, chances are the drugs are out of their system now, and hopefully broke the habit.

I agree with Tia it will help out the government and then we will have more people working throughout the country.

The trauma caused through school shootings is spreading across the whole country and it is honestly devastating. I wish that the resource officer wouldn't have had to shoot but I know he did what was best for the school and the other students in the school.

Reading content like this is very traumatic. Students and teachers should be able to go to school without having to worry about someone coming into the school with a gun. I believe that schools should make an effort to make all schools safer. There have been too many school shootings in America and around the globe.

I agree because we should feel safe at school and not have to worry about what might happen, school should honestly be the safest place you can go.

This makes me wonder what I would do if I was an immigrant losing that protected status; go back to a country that is deadly or stay here illegally?

If I was an immigrant and put in this position I would stay here illegally in America because I value my life and I disagree with sending all these people back to their deaths, there needs to be another way.

"Critics are protesting that his move reveals political shallowness, subverts the justice system and sends a message to aides under duress from special counsel Robert Mueller. But Trump seems to be saying,"I have this power, so why not use it?""

When you have as much power as the president does, you must be very mindful. Pardons should be a rare thing and a thing that happens when an injustice has been prosecuted to a fair person who feels wrong about their actions. Trump is throwing around pardons like rolls at the dinner table. When you do that, it makes it seem like everyone, no matter the crime, deserves another chance, especially if they are on Trump's side. When you let power get to your head the way Trump is, instead of a democracy, it starts to feel more like a dictatorship.

Dinesh served his time on community service by teaching people English that are seeking citizenship. Trumps presidency has been covered more widely than previous presidents but Obama granted 212 pardons and 1715 commutations so he's not going mad with power. he's doing his job. It's a good thing we're being critical and covering everything. But I don't think he's acting widely or crazy. America isn't a democracy by the way.

"Presidential debates and their effects: An updated research roundup"

The 2 candidates in my opinion are very in maturate. Neither of them should be running for president. Also I think more people are starting to realize how bad Trump is for our country because Hillary's increase of voters.

The debates have only proven that voters are now leaning more toward Hillary instead of Donald Trump because it brought up his past statements and views.

Well in the article it says "He was joking! He didn't even say that it was treasonous! He was just agreeing with people who said it was treasonous!"

If this is true then it is very discerning that Trump would agree that not clapping for him is treasonous. After all, isn't America supposed to be where you can state your ideals without getting punished?

"What Trump is saying is that dissent -- which is what Democrats are doing when they choose not to clap for a line in his speech -- is traitorous and/or un-American."

This is so sad that people have to chose to either die or go homeless.

Even if his approval rating drops at all, I don't believe people are going to stop saying he's a "great" president.

I think it's interesting that the article claims Americans are bracing for a recession. We have a record high DOW Jones stock, unemployment is decreasing (more than 20 million new jobs since 2010), and Americans, in general, have more money in their pockets than we did 3 years ago. https://ig.ft.com/sites/numbers/economies/us/ It also piques my interest that the article claims the Trump approval rating as a whole is falling. After the democratic debates, Donald Trump has only increased in followership, rally attendance, etc. This is the reason people keep saying he's a "great" president. You might not like him as a person, I might not like him as a person, but if he continues to put a dent in the public debt, and continues to uphold basic constitutionalist ideals, he will continue to see success in America. I think it's interesting and I predict that the 2020 election will play out very similarly to the 2016 election. The democratic party did everything in their power to stop Trump from becoming president. Both Republicans and Democrats alike turned to personal attacks and scandals. Even if all the candidates are bad, we have to pick the best one. Trump was able to win against the Democrats because they didn't have any solid plans with evidence for the policies they wanted to implement. Trump has an upper-hand because he's never changed too. Democrats have flipped like no other when it comes to policies because they are desperate to be approved of by the younger masses. Trump has always supported a smaller government, focused on the economy, and wanted stricter foreign relations. The same cannot be said about Democrats, their talking points are that of enabling a welfare state, stripping citizens of their 2nd amendment rights, and their false sense of acceptance. tl;dr: orange man bad, but doing his job well.

SWEET!! But I bet the people making bombs will make the trigger's more sensitive...but for now, the rats are a good alternative and cheaper too. What I am wondering is, how effective are rats at "letting" people know where there is a bomb. In this article/video, they placed a "test" bomb on the ground and the rat sniffed it out, but did they know only when the rat made it to the bomb and assume the rat had found their planted bomb and then rewarded the rat? Or did they wait for the rat to give them a "sign"?

why not just let the rats run over the bombs to be able to blow up the bombs and it won't be a problem anymore.

Because if the rats set off the bombs they would destroy whatever the bomb was put to destroy? Obviously that is a horrible idea.

The White House is putting its "America First" agenda front and center, submitting a budget to Congress on Thursday that pumps billions of dollars into the Pentagon and protects the nation's borders, while making massive cuts to most agencies.

News like this honestly makes me fear for my safety in America. Should I be worried about the possibility of a nuclear attack during my lifetime? Thinking about moving to Norway or Nepal

"The White House is trying to argue that the nickname "Pocahontas" is "not a racial slur" against Native Americans after President Donald Trump used it Monday as an insult during a ceremony honoring the Navajo code talkers. Native Americans do not agree. "

i dont think it was a racial slur but now that its getting so much press i think it may become a slur

I do agree that it wasn't a racial slur but saying it in front of the Navajo code speakers it was wrong and insensitive
