Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (22 – 28 September)

1. Time for another edition of the news from last week that the legacy media buried or obfuscated because the stories don’t fit their “Republican bad, Democrats good” narrative.
2. Let’s get started with a story that falls into the “it’s about damn time” category:

<quote>
2A. Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan announced Monday a combination of new immigration initiatives is helping lead to the end of “catch and release” and added that the White House will abolish the policy altogether as soon as next week.

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (11 – 17 August)

1. Let’s see what news stories the legacy media missed or obfuscated this past week in service of Democrats (apparently their main raison d'etre these days).
2. Let’s get started with a new Trump regulation (some regs are good!) that is going to potentially shut down welfare-dependent immigration:

<quote>
2A. President Trump is set to save American taxpayers billions of dollars as his administration announces a new rule on Monday that will essentially ban welfare-dependent legal immigrants from permanently resettling in the United States.

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (4 – 10 August)

1. Let’s see what news stories the legacy media missed or obfuscated this past week in service of Democrats (apparently their main raison d'etre these days).
2. Let’s get started with an excellent piece that examines the devastation in large cities due to implementation of progressive policies over the years:

2A. If there’s anything productive to come from his recent Twitter storm, President Trump’s recent crude attacks on Baltimore Congressman Elijah Cummings have succeeded in bring necessary attention to the increasingly tragic state of our cities.

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (28 July – 3 August)

1. As usual, the legacy media either skipped, obfuscated, or never provided the proper context and follow-up on a number of stories over the past week. Here’s my take on what they missed.
2. Let’s get started with some more #WINNING on the federal judiciary confirmation front. This is an YUUUGE Trumpian legacy:

<quote>
2A. Instead of focusing on the reshaping of the judiciary, the liberal media and activists are focused on calling McConnell “Moscow Mitch.”

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (7-13 July)

1. These weekly news summaries include stories that the legacy media either doesn’t report or – if they do – then never provide the proper context and follow-up.
2. Let’s get started with an article that shows just how ignorant and anti-American two serving members of Congress are. The fact that they are is not what is bothersome, but rather those who voted for these two are who concern me the most!

<quote>
2A. First-year congresswomen Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts retweeted a Salon article contending the Declaration of Independence is a racist and sexist document because it doesn’t address slavery or women’s rights.
