U.S. President Donald Trump's administration said Friday that it would not disclose the names of people who have visited the White House, ending a policy of President Barack Obama's that was created to promote transparency.

Bush administration.

North Korea's big day, the anniversary of the birth of its founding leader, Kim Il Sung, came and went with no underground nuclear test by the North, and no pre-emptive strikes off the deck of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier sent to waters off the Korean Peninsula by President Donald Trump. Just hours before Vice President Mike Pence began his visit to Seoul on Sunday, Pyongyang fired off a ballistic missile - but it appears to have exploded seconds after it got off the ground.

When some two dozen concerned citizens in Williamsport held a "town meeting in absentia" for U.S. Rep. Tom Marino, R-10th District, last week to highlight the lawmaker's low profile in the sprawling district, they found out that he might never meet face-to-face with his constituents again. The former district attorney and federal prosecutor is in line to become Donald Trump's national drug czar any day now.
Ezra Cohen-Watnick has been in the spotlight recently following reports that he was the aide behind a White House leak to help back up President Donald Trump's claim that Barack Obama had wiretapped him. The New York Times reported last month that the Jewish senior director for intelligence on the National Security Council was one of two White House aides who leaked the information to Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
The class of 2017 can count on all the traditional trappings of college commencement: caps and gowns, "Pomp and Circumstance," and a heaping helping of left-wing politics. Academia's longstanding liberal bias has only hardened after last November's election sent Donald Trump to the White House, a Post review of more than 200 colleges' commencement plans reveals.
Some concern exists as to whether President Donald Trump needs formal declaration or authorization from Congress to commit to further military action in Syria. I fully support going to Congress to wage war; winning its support is critical to making a war effort a national endeavor.
Dr. Mark Curtis, Ed.D., is Chief Political Reporter for the five Nexstar Media TV stations in West Virginia, and a Political Analyst for "The Brian Copeland Show" on KGO Radio 810-AM San Francisco. There has been a lot of chatter this week in the news and on talk radio about how many times Donald Trump has changed positions now that he is President, compared to what he said on the campaign trail.
Thousands of chanting, sign-carrying protesters took to the streets in cities across the nation Saturday, demanding that President Donald Trump release his tax returns, so Americans can scrutinize his business ties and potential conflicts of interest. Violent clashes were the exception during the largely peaceful demonstrations, but in Berkeley, California, police arrested 13 people and confiscated knives and makeshift weapons after fistfights broke out between factions that support and oppose Trump.
Once soft on Russia and hard on China, President Donald Trump rapidly reversed course in the last weeks, concluding there's more business to be done with Beijing than with Moscow. Trump's evolving views on those two world powers have brought the U.S. back into alignment with former President Barack Obama's pattern of "great power" politics.
The president's recent shifts in position on big foreign policy issues have got his supporters pondering: Are the reversals worth a mere shrug of the shoulders, or are they a cause for greater concern. Where critics see a flip-flopper, many Trump voters see the kind of recalibrating that's to be expected from any new president, even more so for the first in history to land in the Oval Office without any government or military experience.
Demonstrators planned Tax March Houston in response to President Donald Trump's post-election statement that Americans "don't care" about seeing his tax returns. The march downtown was part of a nationwide appeal to the president.

April Fools' Day has come and gone, but on the first of the month, I kept marveling at how - starting even before he ran, continuing through his campaign and certainly since Inauguration Day - Donald Trump has played us for a fool. Successfully, I might add.
This isn't a function of poll numbers, or any melodrama of the past months, but something more fundamental: No officeholder in Washington seems to understand President Donald Trump's populism or have a cogent theory of how to effect it in practice, including the president himself. House Speaker Paul Ryan isn't a populist and doesn't want to be a populist.
U.S. military commanders are stepping up their fight against Islamist extremism as President Donald Trump's administration urges them to make more battlefield decisions on their own. As the White House works on a broad strategy, America's top military commanders are implementing the vision articulated by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis: Decimate Islamic State's Middle East strongholds and ensure that the militants don't establish new beachheads in places such as Afghanistan.
