World Donald Trump Media and pundits in Saudi Arabia, as well as those of the kingdom’s close allies, have turned to racism and conspiracy theories to defend President Donald Trump and Republicans against progressive Muslim-American politicians. Newly-elected Representatives Ilhan Omar from Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib from Michigan as well as Abdul El-Sayed, who unsuccessfully ran for governor in Michigan, have all faced attacks and criticism from Saudi Arabia and its regional allies, Foreign Policy reported Tuesday. Although all the Democratic politicians espouse socially progressive views, regularly promoting LGBTQ and women’s issues, they have been labeled as “radical,” with Arab media and talking heads claiming they have links to Islamists.

6 million Americans seek emergency care for animal-related injuries each year, study finds
Each year, Americans make more than 6 million visits to hospital emergency departments for animal-related injuries caused by creatures great (such as dogs and alligators) and small (such as snakes and spiders), according to research published Monday in the journal Trauma Surgery & Acute Care Open. Those hospital visits cost the U.S. economy about $1.2 billion annually, the study also found. The actual figures are probably much, much higher, however. For the study did not include emergency department visits associated with treating insect-borne illnesses, such as Lyme disease or West Nile virus. Nor did it include an assessment of non-emergency department costs, such as doctors’ fees, outpatient clinic charges, expenses related to rehabilitation, and lost productivity.

DACA Amnesty Would Render Border Wall Useless, Cost Americans $26B
A deal in which President Trump accepts an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in exchange for minor border wall funding would be counterproductive to the “America First” goals of the administration, depressing U.S. wages in the process ahead of the 2020 election. As Breitbart News has extensively chronicled, Attorney General Jeff Sessions ended the DACA program last year, although it’s official termination has been held up in court by left-wing judges.Since then, a coalition of establishment Republicans and Democrats have sought to ram an amnesty for up to 3.5 million DACA-enrolled and eligible illegal aliens through Congress, an initiative supported by the donor class. Such a plan, most recently, has been touted in an effort to negotiate a deal in which Trump receives anywhere between $1.6 tand $5 billion for his proposed U.S.-Mexico border … [Read more...] about DACA Amnesty Would Render Border Wall Useless, Cost Americans $26B
