This is malpractice.

There is no way a year at sea is justified. The missions were not sanctioned by Congress, and the USA had no threat level from either Venezuela or Iran. Israel's war for dominance is not a justifiable war. The Middle East needs to come to terms with each other and support common values while religious differences are tolerated.

It is good to have the Ford on it's way home. The soldiers need a break. Family needs to see their soldiers. The Ford needs to be assessed and restored to national defense level service. Battle ground repairs are only temporary.

Congratulations Democrats.

It isn't everything everyone wanted, but it is a darn good start for the minority party in the Senate and House. I guess it is debatable as to if Republicans are learning respect for the citizen. I hope they are. It is called murder when an innocent protester is killed by government agents.

The House passed a bill (click here) on Thursday to fund most of the subagencies within the Department of Homeland Security after a 76-day shutdown of the department.

Lawmakers approved the DHS funding measure that was passed by the Senate more than a month ago to fully fund subagencies that do not carry out immigration enforcement, including the Coast Guard, TSA, Secret Service, FEMA and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

President Trump is expected to sign the funding bill shortly.

Republican lawmakers now plan to advance a separate bill to fund Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
