NO IT DOESN’T. Unresolved Cyclospora Outbreak Raises Questions About CDC Cuts.

CDC incompetence has nothing to do with budgets; it’s long-established. But it’s just like that agency to turn this into a budget issue.

YES, IT’S TIME FOR A CRACKDOWN ON INSURRECTIONISTS AND SEDITIONISTS:

A conservative British politician was just assassinated by a communist.

President Trump was shot.

Charlie Kirk was shot and killed.

And there are so many other death threats, Swattings, and attacks.

There needs to be a major crackdown on these violent terrorist groups. https://t.co/4AKntgxrDX

DON SURBER: Trump Strait-ens out Iran: Iran’s suicidal bombing gave him the excuse to seize the Strait of Hormuz. “The Memo Of Understanding was a ruse—a way to show the world that Iran wants war, not peace. Iran was the dope he roped. Now he is free to get the job done. The MOU showed once again, Trump is crazy like a fox.”

GOD LOOKS AFTER FOOLS, DRUNKARDS, AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:

Two years ago today, America narrowly avoided a nightmare when President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt while speaking on the campaign trail. What might have followed could have torn our republic apart. May God continue to bless this country with good fortune.
