BREAKING: In South Carolina's 1st Congressional District, incumbent Republican US Representative Mark Sanford has lost his primary to Katie Arrington, who was endorsed hours ago by Donald Trump

Excellent news!

Sanford is part of the GOPe Mush. Guys like him are what is wrong with the Republican Party.

She's lucky Trump is a forgiving man after she sided with Mitt Romney, he's still endorsed her, speaks volumes about the man, he wants what's best for the US and doesn't bear a grudge.

Document signed by Trump and Kim includes four main elements related to 'peace regime'

Pleased to see something positive in the first meeting. Long way to go. We'll see how it goes.

An excellent day for North Korea but the opera isn't over. Something good might come from it. Fingers crossed. The policy wonk types never solved this one.

Small businesses reported excellent numbers in key areas, as reported in the Small Business Optimism Index. In May, those numbers climbed to the second highest level in history -- 107.8.

Small businesses reported that tax cuts and regulatory changes contributed to increased compensation, positive earnings and sales trends. It proves yet again that when taxes and regulations ease, earnings and employee compensation increase.

Also included in the report were the following:
- Employee compensation hit a 45-year high at a record net 35%
- Positive earnings reached a net high of 3%
- Positive sales reached the highest level since 1995
- Expansion plans are the most robust in the history of the SBO Index
- 29% of business owners looking for skilled workers
- 12% of business owners looking for unskilled workers
- 35% of owners are increasing wages to attract labor

Looks like STEADY WINNING continues.
MAGA!

In primary voting throughout the US on Tuesday, Americans rejected the GOPe Mush and elected MAGA candidates endorsed by Trump. Economic Nationalism continues to mark victories nationwide.

In South Carolina, State Representative Katie Arrington defeated Never-Trump Congressman Mark Sanford. The victory was due in part to Sanford's two years of bashing Trump whenever he had the opportunity. He even blamed Trump for the Democrat shooter at the Republican baseball practice last year. Sanford was also busy attacking Trump over Stormy Daniels. Voters sent him packing.

Also in South Carolina, State Senator Lee Bright is in the lead to replace retiring Trey Gowdy.

Gov. Henry McMaster also finished first in his race in another win for MAGA. When he was Lt. Governor, McMaster was the first statewide elected official anywhere in America to endorse and campaign for President Trump in the 2016 presidential primaries. After Trump’s win in November 2016, he appointed then-Gov. Nikki Haley as the United Nations Ambassador, elevating McMaster to governor of South Carolina. McMaster is expected to, with President Trump’s support, easily win the runoff.

Another MAGA candidate in Virginia, Corey Stewart, won the U.S. Senate nomination by defeating the pro-amnesty Koch Brothers-backed Nick Freitas in the primary. Freitas tried to label himself as a conservative, but voters weren't going to buy that with the globalist Koch Brothers backing him.

Another MAGA candidate in Nevada, Danny Tarkanian, won his primary for Nevada’s third congressional district. This seat has a strong chance to flip a seat from Democrat control to Republican.

Others MAGA candidates have emerged victorious in West Virginia where Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has emerged as the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate. Another MAGA candidate in Nevada, Matt Rosendale, won the nomination for U.S. Senate in Nevada. In Indiana, Trump backer and outsider businessman Mike Braun won the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate back in May. In North Carolina, pro-Trump candidate Dr. Mark Harris won over his challengers. In Texas, a slew of pro-Trump candidates won runoffs, defeating establishment-backed politicians.

This is all happening as anti-Trump Republican Senators Bob Corker (R-TN)and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) are stepping down voluntarily (they knew they couldn't get re-elected after all of their Trump bashing) and will likely be replaced by MAGA candidates Marsha Blackburn in Tennessee and Dr. Kelli Ward in Arizona.

Looks like things are steadily improving in Congress for the "America First" Trump agenda. Long way to November, but looking good.

Hi Lone Star,
Can you give an overview of why and how James Clapoer was elevated to the position of Directer of National Intelligence and remained in that position for an extended period. I saw him being interviewed on VOA on Monday and when quizzed by the presenter, he stated that he had not heard of the term 'deep state' until late last year. Not anticipating your answer, l find it remarkable that a person in his position had such limited intelligence insight.

Further, the USA media coverage post the summit are now attacking Trump for not pulling Kim on in relation to his crimes against the people of North Korea. Were the media hoping and expecting Trump to air all the dirty laundry and then see his attempt at detente blow up in his face.

On Clapper ... there is no evidence that Obama promoted anyone to high levels in any Executive Branch position based on competence, efficiency and effectiveness for the United States of America. Most of his high level appointments were loyal to Obama over the country, and many have had the propensity to lie and to subvert protocol, regulations and the Constitution. Obama had a "catch me if you can" policy. You can read about Clapper's background just about anywhere on the web. Recently, Clapper has changed his story several times about the undercover operative(s) used against Trump campaign members before the election. In the past, he's also been accused of lying to Congress regarding the monitoring of communications of Americans.

The eneMedia is much like others who go after Trump. They would never be happy no matter what is accomplished. Trump is different than most of his predecessors -- at least since GHWB41. Trump doesn't discuss his plans publicly in any specific way. Like discussing exit strategies, how far he's willing to go to reach a goal, when he may withdraw troops or attack using the military -- which was all done by Clinton, GWB and Obama. Pretty stupid.

The talks with North Korea will move in stages. Denuclearization is the priority. Once that's accomplished, other goals can be achieved. Trump and US Citizens are well aware of the atrocities that have reportedly taken place in NK. We've had Americans held hostage, tortured and killed as a result of some of those tactics. I'm sure it will all be on the table in due time.

Here is an example of how the Trump Team addresses the eneMedia trying to assume or twist words and get involved in the talks with North Korea. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tells it!

Great week for Trump and America!

Add the fact that one of several Inspector General reports were issued that showed FBI agents in charge of the Hillary investigation were the same ones who opened the Russia collusion farce -- and there were at least 5 who discussed being pro-Hilary and anti-Trump during the course of their investigations. In addition, ONE went so far as to say that they had plans to stop Trump from being elected.

It was also uncovered in the same IG report that certain FBI agents were given gifts from the news media in return for leaks to their news organizations.

Why did they take so many unethical and some illegal risks? They thought the election was in the bag for Hillary and that it would all be washed away -- of course, with the media's help. There will be more coming. Just the beginning.

This is my final post on this Udon forum.I refuse to waste any more time reading or responding to the idiots and morons(the favorite catch phases of the idiots and morons) that post their crap on here without having a clue about what's really happening on the ground in America.I'm here in the land of liberals(Colorado) and have been for the last 4 weeks.I thought I'd have trouble wearing my MAGA (Make America Great Again) hat here but instead I get thumbs up,great comments and people wanting to express their feelings about how President Trump is finally standing up for America and it's citizens.
You keyboard warriors have no clue about the COLD ANGER running through the blood of the patriots that voted for Donald J. Trump to be our champion.

I just wish I could express myself in words the way the owner of this website(I posted below) can. All of my friends from my postal carrier(also former Democrats) feel this way also in our conversations and get togethers.The fake news can say whatever they want but people on the ground know the truth and COLD ANGER is everywhere.It's only a matter of time and the fake news will be unable to hide it from the rest of the citizens

Come out it will.I hope you Americans that are reading this far will take a few more minutes and read this excellent article that truly sums up the feelings of the vast majority of Americans.I say that with confidence because I know Colorado and if it's happening in this state,by God,it's happening throughout America.

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/20 ... -ideology/

I was a democrat my whole life.My mother was union rep for the teacher's union for 25 years.My father organized a union at the print shop he worked at in 1964.I tried to organize a union with the nurses and therapists when I worked as a respiratory therapist in the Denver hospitals in the 70's.I was a union rep in the post office(retired after 30 years).I campaigned for Mark Udall and Pat Schroeder in Colorado.I believed in the Democrats message from the 60's until recently when I saw there was no Republican or Democrat party--It's all one corrupt criminal organization.The uniparty,bought off and blackmailed by the globalists elite of the world.

Trump's a businessman-never been a politician and that's exactly why people voted for him--to change the way things have been. He's determined to run the country as a business.He can't be bought off,he already has 9 billion dollars and if he was corrupt it would have came out during the campaign.The uniparty has been looking for anything and yet they have nothing-he's a boy scout.


What he's done is what they call in business a hostile take over of the republican party.90 % of all the politicians in Washington DC have either been bought off or blackmailed into doing what the globalists elite tell them to do.He's surrounded by criminals who want to keep things the way they are.

Pedophilia,pay for play,treason,sedition,espionage,murder.The ---- is about to hit the fan.

Can you tell me what the democrats are going to run on?What's their platform?

They've said they're going to repeal the tax cuts and raise taxes.They want open borders and give free stuff(that taxpayers pay for) to illegals instead of needy American citizens.They want single payer health care where you wait 2 months to see a doctor/and others make the decisions if you get treatment or death.The majority of the population is against these things.The only thing they're running on is"we hate Trump" The establishment republican party(which is about 90%, want the same thing as the Demorats).

Trump couldn't run as a 3rd party he had to do a hostile takeover of the republican party to win but it's no longer the republican party we've known in our lifetime.It's now the American first party and all the criminals are about to be exposed and then voted out in the next 2 election cycles.That's my prediction.I pray to god every day to protect Donald J Trump and his family for my children and grandchildren's future.

Beautifully stated Bronco, as a non American l can only thank the great architect of the universe for delivering Donald Trump to the world stage. Patriotic Americans must be bursting with pride in the manner in which the POTUS is positioning your country into the future.

I second that comment by trekker, great piece Bronco.

The Trumps just cant get it right can they. Now Princess Trump visited a detention center with a painted slogan on the back of her coat saying "I don't care do you " kind of shooting there foot off again.

the trump will get in a second term.

CNBC's latest poll indicates that Trump's popularity is surging when it comes to handling the economy. Fifty-one percent (51%) approve of the president’s economic policies, the first time Trump has garnered the approval of a majority of Americans in the CNBC poll. That's a 6% increase since March.

Disapproval is only at 36%.

Despite all of the media's efforts last week to blow up the immigration issue by criticizing Trump for handling immigration the same way as his 3 predecessors handled it, Trump's numbers still rise. Despite all of that media hand-wringing last week, Trump's overall job approval rose 2% to 41%. Higher that Obama's numbers at the same time in his presidency.

Those who disapprove of Trump declined by 10 points in the same poll last week.

Fifty-four percent say the economy is good or excellent, the highest positive score in the 10 years of the CNBC survey–and 20 points higher since before the election.

Trump’s tax cuts and trade policies are his big policy winners. Forty-five percent of Americans say they approve of the administration’s new tariffs, with just 38 percent disapproving. That demonstrates that Trump has been winning over the American people on trade. Back in the March survey, 29 percent supported tariffs, while 35 percent said they had no opinion. Thirty-five percent were opposed.

STEADY WINNING.

New home purchases in the US have increased 6.7% in May. Economists had forecast a gain of just 1%. The largest increase came in the South, America’s largest region. Sales there rose 17.9%, the highest in 11 years.

Home buyers found cheaper homes in May, with the median sales price falling by 3.3 percent compared with a year ago. That fall in home prices came despite complaints from home builders that tariffs were driving up their costs.

Residential construction is strong. The number of homes sold, but not yet started, rose to a six-month high, indicating that housing will continue to contribute to economic growth in the months ahead. Demand for housing is likely getting a boost from the strong labor market and lower taxes.

STEADY WINNING.
