Pelosi Casts Doubt on US-UK Trade Deal After Brexit

Posted by Vijeta Uniyal on April 17, 2019 55 Comments

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has spoken against a trade deal with the United Kingdom if the country fails to solve the "hard border" issue between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland with the European Union before leaving the bloc. Brussels wants the border between Ireland, an EU member state, and Northern Ireland, a part of the UK, to remain open after Brexit. The arrangement, also known as the "the backstop," will allow the EU to dictate immigration and trade policies in Northern Ireland, a move that will erode British sovereignty over the region. Many Brexit supporters see the backstops as a tactic to shackle Britain to EU law and regulations.

Posted by David Gerstman on April 16, 2019 11 Comments

Scientists at Tel Aviv University announced the creation of a 3D heart that has cells and blood vessels, The Jerusalem Post reported Monday.

Did You Get a Tax Cut? Data Says Yes

Posted by Mary Chastain on April 15, 2019 21 Comments

Happy Tax Day! Unfortunately, the 16th Amendment still exists, which means everyone pays federal taxes. Today is the due date so you better get it in or else the IRS will come after you for the money they believe belongs to them. But I digress. Remember that tax plan that passed in late 2017? The left pounced and convinced people they would not receive a tax cut. Some even believed they would see a tax increase. Lies. Data has proven the left wrong once again.

President Donald Trump tweeted on Friday that he is "giving strong considerations" to the idea of sending illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities, which includes many in California.
