The president did not divulge details of what concessions Mexico has made, but said they would be “strong measures.”
“I am pleased to inform you that The United States of America has reached a signed agreement with Mexico. The Tariffs scheduled to be implemented by the U.S. on Monday, against Mexico, are hereby indefinitely suspended,” the president said.
He did say the agreement will “greatly reduce, or eliminate, Illegal Immigration coming from Mexico and into the United States.”
Steele’s decision is an apparent about-face from his reported refusal to meet with U.S. investigators regarding his infamous report.
Reuters reported in May that Steele was unwilling to meet with a federal prosecutor who Attorney General William Barr tapped to lead an investigation into the origins of the Russia probe. And Politico reported on April 17 that Steele was refusing to meet with the Justice Department’s office of the inspector general, which is looking into the FBI’s use of the dossier to obtain surveillance warrants against Carter Page, a Trump campaign adviser.
Steele alleged in the dossier that the Trump campaign was part of a “well-developed conspiracy of co-operation” with the Russian government to influence the 2016 election. He also reported that the Kremlin was blackmailing President Donald Trump with video of him with prostitutes in Moscow in 2016.
"The largest power producers in China have asked the government to allow for the development of between 300 and 500 new coal power plants by 2030 in a move that could single-handedly jeopardise global climate change targets..."
"...The danger here is not just that Civil War battlefields will eventually lie fallow for lack of visitors, but that we will unlearn the painful lessons of our past. To some extent, we’ve already started down that path. Another recent NAS report, for example, examined the re-emergence of segregation on college campuses—what the authors call “neo-segregation.” In a survey of 173 schools, including small private colleges as well as major universities like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale University, the study found“42 percent offer segregated residences, 46 percent offer segregated orientation programs, and 72 percent host segregated graduation ceremonies.”
...the fact that they have become so prevalent on college campuses should disturb anyone familiar with the history of segregation in America. Whether it’s segregation by race, as at Columbia University’s “Raza Graduation Ceremony” and “Black Graduation,” or by sexual orientation, as at the University of Texas’s “Lavender graduation” for LGBT students, the trend of self-segregation among minority college students is a cause for worry, especially at a time when divisions in civil society are deepening.
There’s a ruthless logic to this, just as there’s a ruthless logic to reducing American history to a catalog of the worst things we’ve ever done. If history is just another tool in the pursuit of political power, there’s not much of an impetus to get it right..." Read all!
Eric Swalwell Reiterates Pledge to Take AR-15s from Law-Abiding Citizens:
Swalwell has been making this push for over a year, and it has morphed into the central component of his current campaign. His ban has gone through many revisions along the way, but one thing has stayed constant–commonly-owned semiautomatic rifles will be banned and taken from law-abiding citizens. Those who do not comply will face punishment that falls somewhere between jail time and being nuked.
It was introduced by the GOP in 1878 and the Dems fought it for 40 years.
"If you know the history of the 19th Amendment, you will notice a peculiar omission from the statements issued by various Democrats celebrating the 100th anniversary of its passage by Congress. Elizabeth Warren, for example, tweeted: “People always say that big change is impossible. That’s what they told the suffragettes — but they got organized, persisted, & 100 years ago today, the Senate passed the 19th Amendment to give women the right to vote.” What Warren conveniently forgets is that the people who said it was “impossible” were Democrats. Her party blocked passage of the amendment from 1878, when it was introduced by the Republicans, until the latter won such huge majorities in the 1918 midterms that the Democrats were no longer able to deny women justice..."

Angela Merkel's Anti-Americanism: A Familiar German Refrain | National Review "Merkel’s evident anti-Americanism is a familiar refrain. The more things change, well, the more they . . . So it is with the perpetual German resentments of the U.S. Recently German chancellor Angela Merkel reminded us of that German fixation, when she made some astounding statements to the German media that revealed what many Americans had long ago surmised. Merkel all but announced that Germany, or for that matter Europe itself, is no longer really an ally of the United States: “There is no doubt that Europe needs to reposition itself in a changed world. . . . The old certainties of the post-war order no longer apply.” She insisted that Germany views the democratic United States as not much different from autocratic Russia and Communist China: Urging Europe to present a united front in the face of Russia, China, and the U.S., she said, “They are forcing us, time and again, to find common positions.” And Merkel concluded that therefore Germany must find “political power” commensurate with its economic clout to forge a new independent European path. In other words, in the calculus of the supposedly sober and judicious Merkel, the democracy that saved Europe twice from a carnivorous Germany — and Germany once from itself and once from becoming a Soviet vassal — is now similar to the world’s two largest authoritarian dictatorships, nations that not so long ago murdered respectively 30 million and 70 million of their own citizens..."

Seven Republicans in the House broke with their colleagues by voting for an amnesty bill Tuesday that would grant protection from deportation to illegal immigrants and give millions a path to permanent citizenship status.
And with the help of big names in media they’re turning journalism into an intelligence operation
"There are two sets of laws in the United States today. One is inscribed in law books and applies to the majority of Americans. The other is a canon of privileges enjoyed by an establishment under the umbrella of an intelligence bureaucracy that has arrogated to itself the rights and protections of what was once a free press. The media is now openly entwined with the national security establishment in a manner that would have been unimaginable before the advent of the age of the dossier—the literary forgery the FBI used as evidence to spy on the Trump team. In coordinating to perpetrate the Russiagate hoax on the American public, the media and intelligence officials have forged a relationship in which the two partners look out for the other’s professional and political interests. Not least of all, they target shared adversaries and protect mutual friends. ...Here are the people that Americans get their national security news from these days: Before becoming a national security analyst for CNN, former director of national intelligence, James Clapper, had previously been a news item himself after lying to Congress in 2013 when he testified that the NSA wasn’t collecting data on Americans. He later provided inconsistent testimony to Congress in 2017 when he said he had not spoken with the press about the Steele dossier while he was DNI and then admitted he’d spoken with future CNN colleague Jake Tapper about it.

WALSH: LGBT People Are Not Oppressed Or Persecuted In This Country. Here's How We Know. | Daily Wire
"As everyone knows, June is African-American Music Appreciation Month. It's also National Safety Month and National Smile Month.
And we can't forget that it is ALS Awareness Month, Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, Cataract Awareness Month, Hernia Awareness Month, Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month, National Aphasia Awareness Month, National Congenital Cytomegalovirus Awareness Month, National Scleroderma Awareness Month, and Scoliosis Awareness Month.
But all of these holy observances must take a backseat to the most hallowed of them all: LGBT Pride Month.
Indeed, we have heard nary a word about congenital cytomegalovirus, despite this being a month of awareness about that illness, because every company, corporation, celebrity, and television channel has been tripping over itself to exclusively celebrate LGBT pride.
Or, more specifically, LGBTTQQIAAP pride.
That last part of the acronym must not be neglected, even as it rapidly grows, adding new letters by the day and threatening to take over the entire alphabet. Sure, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, IBM, YouTube, AT&T, Disney, Chevron, H&M, Adidas, Nike, Reebok, the MLB, Listerine, Levi's, American Eagle, Calvin Klein, Express, Target, Michael Kors, etc., are all offering sacral gifts before the LGBT altar this month, but Budweiser, a company best known for its alcohol-flavored water, may have out-woked the competition.
In a tweet thread, Budweiser unveiled a series of cups which commemorate not only the classic LGBT members — gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender — but also pay homage to some of the lesser known characters.
There is a cup for genderfluid (no, not a cup that contains gender fluid), a cup for non-binary, a cup for intersex individuals, a cup for pansexual individuals, and a cup for those who are asexual, demisexual, and greysexual. Those last three deserve closer examination..." Read all.
Trump Cancels Government Contract For Fetal Tissue Research | The Daily Caller:
Senior administration officials told The Daily Caller that the contract will be officially terminated Wednesday.
The cancelation stems from a 9-month U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) review of all research involving fetal tissue from elective abortions. HHS will also install ethics boards overseeing all extramural research involving fetal tissue.

Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) told Breitbart News Daily that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have no interest in helping the American people and only want to focus on impeaching President Donald Trump.
Norman spoke with Breitbart News Daily guest host Matthew Boyle regarding how Democrats have controlled the House for roughly 130 days and have yet to pass any substantial legislation and instead only focus on investigation Trump and his administration.
Congressman Norman asked rhetorically, “We’ve been up there 130 days and what do we have to show for it? Not anything. It just boils back down to they savor getting the White House back in 2020. Anything that gives this president a win they’re against.”
"All great historical achievements risk fading into obscure past events, reduced to calendar notations or unread Wikipedia entries — unless those moments are kept vivid and meaningful for future generations. June 6 is one of those imperiled dates. It’s the 75th anniversary of D-Day, one of the most audacious military actions in American history. On June 6, 1944, about 156,000 troops of the United States and its allies invaded Nazi-occupied France by sea and air, gaining a foothold in northern Europe that would help lead to victory over Germany in World War II within a year. ...Among those books is Rick Atkinson’s “The Guns at Last Light,” excerpted here in italics. In it he describes the ferocious battle scenes, quotes the participants and honors the dead at Omaha, Utah and the other beaches. ...Mortar rounds killed a trio of soldiers next to (U.S. Gen. Norman) Cota and wounded his radioman; knocked flat but unscratched, the general regained his feet and followed the snaking column toward the hillcrest, past captured Germans spread-eagled on the ground. Then over the lip of the ridge they ran, past stunted pines and through uncut wheat as Cota yelled, “Now let’s see what you’re made of!” GIs hauling a captured MG-12 machine gun with ammunition belts draped around their necks poured fire into enemy trenches and at the broken ranks pelting inland. War is terrible. Tragic. D-Day was those things. It also was heroic and necessary. Younger generations of Americans won’t understand what happened on June 6, 1944, unless they are inspired to learn it. If you know the D-Day story, share it, teach it.

The 177 French Soldiers of D-Day "The D-Day Landings on the Normandy beaches took place on June 6, 1944, led by 57,500 American soldiers, 58,815 Brits, 21,400 Canadians, and just 177 Frenchmen! A tiny but elite commando force the history books have long forgotten.
“Action stations, 0430 hours, the last coffee before France. The night is drawing to an end, we are stunned by the sight of everything around us. An armada stretches as far as the eye can see, thousands of vessels of all shapes and sizes. All these ships dancing, pitching, and rolling, depending on their seafaring stability. We must not be far from the shore.”
These are the words of private René Goujon, recorded in his diary and published posthumously in 2004. On the morning of June 6, 1944, he was preparing to return to France with 176 compatriots. They had all fled their native country to England to escape the German occupation. Some had been imprisoned in Germany and Spain, and most were just 20 years old. Together they formed the 1st French Marine Rifles Battalion, placed under English command. Their D-Day objective was to seize the small town of Ouistreham on the eastern flank of the Allied invasion...
"College students in Washington, D.C., seem to have forgotten about D-Day on its 75th anniversary. We asked college students if they knew what D-Day is and why it is significant to American history. Even though thousands of Americans lost their lives storming the beaches of Normandy, France, college students had absolutely no idea what anniversary is marked June 6."
