CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 114, 2019          WILL PRESIDENT TRUMP USE HIS POWER TO BUILD A WALL ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BORDER IF DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS CONTINUE THEIR REFUSAL TO APPROPRIATE THE MONEY?

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 11, 2018          I DON’T LIKE MAKING PREDICTIONS BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST GUESSES, BUT IN THIS CASE I WILL MAKE AN EXCEPTION, BASED ON HISTORY.          I PREDICT AT LEAST SOME REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS WILL CAVE ON THE BORDER WALL, SIDING WITH DEMOCRATS TO RE-OPEN GOVERNMENT. OF COURSE GOVERNMENT IS NOT CLOSED, ONLY…

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 10, 2019          PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TUESDAY NIGHT ADDRESS TO THE NATION DIDN’T LIVE UP TO ITS ADVANCE BILLING.

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 7, 2019          DEMOCRATS ARE NOW IN CHARGE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. NANCY PELOSI IS THE NEW-OLD SPEAKER. SHE CLAIMS SHE IS AS POWERFUL AS THE PRESIDENT. THE WASHINGTON POST AGREES. THE FIRST ACT OF THE DEMOCRATS WAS TO PASS LEGISLATION TO RE-OPEN THE PART OF THE GOVERNMENT THAT IS…

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 4, 2019          I ALWAYS ENJOY WATCHING A NEW CONGRESS OR PRESIDENT ENTER OFFICE. THE PROMISES ARE ALWAYS THE SAME – CLEANING UP CORRUPTION, MAKING GOVERNMENT WORK, ETC.          INCOMING HOUSE DEMOCRAT FRESHMAN JOE NEGUSE OF COLORADO FIT THAT MOLD WHEN HE SAID: “THE PARTISANSHIP, RANCOR AND DYSFUNCTION OF THE TRUMP…
