Yes, Mr. Thigpen, I am deeply troubled about the Democrats trying to take down the America that we have fought for over two hundred years to earn, as you pointed out in your March 3 letter. We have a constitution and should live by it and not keep trying to change it.
Here's the paradox of immigration in America right now: The economy is roaring, and wages are rising, yet 2017 was another year of virtually no illegal border crossings. On average, each Border Patrol agent apprehended just 16 people all year - one every three weeks, tied for the lowest rate since World War II.
An environmental impact study released last week by the Federal Aviation Administration moved Georgia, and specifically Camden County, closer to becoming the next space state. The study recommended allowing as many as 12 launches per year from the proposed Spaceport Camden, an idea that has been in the works for years now, but just took a massive step forward.

Not long ago, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was the voice of a conservative revolution in the heartland, a Republican at the vanguard and a possible future president. Today, he's the voice of concern, warning his party - at home and nationally - that change is coming again.
On the last day of the campaign for the special election in Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District, Donald Trump Jr. toured a candy factory in Washington County to urge locals to turn out for Rick Saccone, the Republican running for the House seat against Democrat Conor Lamb.

President Trump may only be blowing smoke -- again -- but his willingness to schedule a "denuclearization" summit with Kim Jong Un, North Korea's brutal dictator, is clearly part Hollywood and part serious diplomacy. He can decide on a moment's notice to parlay with Un and generate thousands of headlines worldwide.
