    Other awards created by presidents: President's Volunteer Service Award (GW Bush) Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (Reagan) President's Education Awards Program (Reagan) President's Environmental Youth Award (Nixon) Presidential Medal of Freedom (Kennedy)

    The Fake News Awards, those going to the most corrupt & biased of the Mainstream Media, will be presented to the losers on Wednesday, January 17th, rather than this coming Monday. The interest in, and importance of, these awards is far greater than anyone could have anticipated!

    Huh...

    Republicans said the solution was a tax cut heavily tilted in favor of the wealthy and corporation. After it has passed, economists — some who cheered the bill — tell us it won’t have much of a long-term effect.

    Jefferson Sessions. Stephen Miller. Steve Bannon (even tho evicted), Michael Anton. John Kelly. Donald Trump. These are the architects of a shameful new American cruelty that judges immigrants on the color of their skin, their language and nationality. History will be scathing.

    "A kid’s worst nightmare is the boogeyman coming in the middle of the night and taking away their parents." Immigrant kids live with the fear that their family members will be deported. Doctors say it's causing health problems that may linger for decades.
