S. B. Shine's new book PAIN AWAITS is aptly titled since it reflects the pain that the American government, economy, and people are experiencing as we begin to fear that, like the Roman Empire, we are in our decline and fall. Shine discusses many of the causes of this situation, ranging from illegal immigration and government overspending to the drug culture and a lack of strong family values in the younger generations, but he does not dwell on the problems so much as the solutions.
Why am I not surprised that Trump's GOP sycophants and cronies will most likely throw him under the wheels of the bus if he continues to fire nasty verbiage in Robert Mueller's direction? This reality show mastermind, who is the first U.S. President caught up inside an exploding fireworks factory of salacious scandal with none other than a porn queen, has all the grace of a Louisiana cottonmouth. But it seems Trump's big wish is to go down in history as a great military leader, and he plans to utilize "his generals" to grow these laurels for himself.

The House Armed Services Committee has moved toward nullifying a 30-year-old nuclear-arms-control treaty with Russia, endorsing a measure that would entrust President Donald Trump to decide whether the United States should scrap the deal. The Republican-led measure, which was added around midnight Thursday to a draft of next year's defense spending bill, states that the United States will no longer consider the treaty binding without White House verification of Russia's full compliance.
Democrats routinely express outrage over claims of collusion with a foreign power to undermine our democracy. So where is the outrage over revelations that former secretary of state John Kerry held not one but two secret meetings with Iran's foreign minister to strategize over how to undermine President Trump's plans to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal? An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman confirmed the meetings after the Boston Globe broke the news, declaring, "We don't see the U.S. just as Mr. Trump; the United States is not just the current ruling administration."
The attorney general's noxious new policy of separating families at the border was only one highlight of his week by President Trump and Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., chair of the House Intelligence Committee. Ever since his days as an Alabama prosecutor during the War on Drugs era, Trump's attorney general has been dead set on cracking down on poor people in a return to tough-on-crime law enforcement.
Embracing his role as party leader, President Donald Trump issued a stern warning at a rally Thursday that Democrats would disrupt the economic progress of his administration, imploring Republicans to mobilize during the 2018 midterm elections.

What will Democrats do once their entire "Resistance" narrative collapses around them, like a termite-ridden dormitory? Democrats have "resisted" Donald J. Trump at nearly every turn. Why? Trump, they argue, is an economically illiterate bully controlled by Moscow.
The instant analysis on cable TV of President Trump's decision to dump the Iran deal had a weary resignation to it: He said he would do this. Trump repeatedly promised to pull out of the deal on the campaign trail and had made it a target from the time that Barack Obama first entered into it in 2015.
A White House official dismissed a view expressed by Sen. John McCain about President Donald Trump's CIA nominee, saying Thursday at a staff meeting that "it doesn't matter" because "he's dying anyway," two people in the room told The Associated Press. Kelly Sadler was discussing McCain's opposition to Trump's pick for CIA director, Gina Haspel, when she made the comment, according to the two people, who described feeling shocked and stunned by the remark.
In the May report, the USDA experts forecasted that in 2018/19 MY Russia will take the leading position in the exports of wheat on the global market. In particular, in the following season the grain shipments from Russia on foreign markets will reach 36.5 mln tonnes, which will become lower compared with the figures in 2017/18 MY , but significantly exceed the exports in 2016/17 MY , and which will demonstrate the highest results among all countries-exporters.
Democratic campaign operatives have acknowledged that running against Donald Trump and the White House controversy du jour -- at the expense of more substantive policy issues -- could weaken their advantages heading into November's midterms. And complicating their case further are signs of economic improvement, including recent labor statistics showing national unemployment at a near-20-year low of 3.9 percent.
A mother's gut feeling is tough to shake, especially if it's been gnawing away for more than a decade. It's been 12 years since Diana Alvarado lost her teenage daughter in an early-morning shooting in the Bronx on Mother's Day.

Speaker Paul Ryan mocked an effort by breakaway Republicans to force election-year votes on rival immigration proposals as a drive that would produce "show ponies," not legislation the president would sign into law. Ryan, R-Wis., said Thursday that since he's been unable to craft an immigration bill that could pass with GOP votes alone, the path to success requires legislation that gets support from both parties and White House.
When I lived in New York City in 1972, for a brief time I worked at an unethical company that was in the business of hiring unemployed college grads like me to write student research papers and essays for unethical university students who were well off enough to pay for them. I got paid by the page and I never knew the name of the student whose paper I was writing.
President Trump's nominee for CIA chief, Gina Haspel, testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday.
