President Donald J. Trump approached 2018 just as he did 2017--fulfilling campaign promises and meeting new challenges head on. Here are some of his major accomplishments for the year: • Confronting China - Much of the heartland anxiety that vaulted Trump into the Oval Office can be directly attributed to the abusive economic warfare waged for decades against the United States by China. No president, since the Chinese were allowed to join the World Trade Organization, has had the intestinal f...

In vivid detail she remembered the day she caught a cold, the day her legs stopped moving, the night when she heard the doctor tell her mom her young daughter might not make it to the...
me·nag·er·ie Google defines menagerie as “a collection of wild animals kept in captivity for exhibition; a strange or diverse collection of people or things.” And the selection of a Supreme Court justice in the Senate Judiciary Committee today has turned into one.
