Trump demands action at ‘every level of government’ after Texas school shooting (Washington Examiner)

President Trump on Friday demanded action “at every level of government” to prevent school shootings from taking place, hours after a gunman killed several people at a high school in Santa Fe, Texas.

“This has been going on too long in our country. Too many decades,” the president said at a White House event shortly after authorities in Texas arrested the shooter. “My administration is determined to do everything in our power to protect our students, secure our schools, and keep weapons out of the hands of those people who pose a threat to themselves and to others.”

“Everyone must work together at every level of government to keep our children safe,” Trump said. [Read More]

Trump questions whether Obama FBI ‘spied’ on campaign, as Giuliani floats Comey prosecution (Fox News)

Polls consistently show greater warmth for socialism among millennials than their elders, greater sympathy for regulation, and less interest in protecting core constitutional liberties ranging from freedom of speech to freedom of religion.

“So,” conservatives usually respond, “what else is new?” [Read More]

Was Trump’s Campaign ‘Set Up’? (WSJ)

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes appeared on “Fox & Friends” Tuesday, where he provided a potentially explosive hint at what’s driving his demand to see documents related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Trump-Russia probe. “If the campaign was somehow set up,” he told the hosts, “I think that would be a problem.”

Or an understatement. Mr. Nunes is still getting stiff-armed by the Justice Department over his subpoena, but this week his efforts did force the stunning admission that the FBI had indeed… [Read More]
