There’s been a bit of social media buzz about an apparent federal move to ban guns or take away firearms from those who are prescribed pot for medical reasons (or just those who want to smoke a little after a long day of work.)
This has come on the heels of dozens of states recently legalizing marijuana, and it’s no surprise that many otherwise law-abiding folks are shocked and angered by this move.
However, it helps to remember that old saying: never believe what you read on the Internet, at least without fact-checking beforehand.
Let’s get into the truth about gun rights and pot legalization:
To figure out if this claim is legitimate, we have to dig deep into federal legislation and see what the books say on the matter.
When you actually perform said research, you come to an interesting conclusion:
There is a federal law that prohibits any users of controlled substances from possessing firearms
However, there is no new law prohibiting marijuana users from owning firearms or allowing the feds to take firearms away from marijuana users
So how does this all shake out?
Let’s break it down...
You see, multiple states in the union have legalized marijuana, and sooner or later all 50 states will allow pot-lovers to smoke or eat the stuff whenever they like.
But therein lies the key distinction that has led to the controversy – these are all state laws rather than federal laws.
In fact, to the federal government, marijuana is still explicitly illegal.
Technically speaking, if you lived in, say, Colorado and a federal officer (like an FBI agent) ever approached you while you had a delicious “brownie” in the back of your car, they could theoretically arrest you for marijuana possession.
(This would never happen, of course, due to the huge court battle that would ensue.)
Meanwhile, a state trooper in Colorado couldn’t arrest you for marijuana possession.
So, you can see the discrepancy between the two laws!
What’s essentially happened is that state legislators have moved faster than their federal counterparts.
They’ve moved ahead with legalizing marijuana, but they can’t overrule the federal law that states that marijuana is a controlled substance.
So marijuana is, like some kind of Schrödinger’s Substance, both legal and illegal at the same time in some cases.
As a result, there’s a minor possibility that the federal government may try to use a “backdoor” loophole like this to get individuals to give up their guns in exchange for pot legalization. But it’s not something you actually have to do.
Ultimately, this social media blowup highlights the difficulty that many people face when they try to understand our laws.
Our government doesn’t make it easy to interpret some laws, and it’s worrying to hear that they may try such an underhanded tactic to take away guns.
But rest assured that the issue is largely overblown, and the odds of you ever encountering that hypothetical FBI agent are slim to none.

The United States Marine Corps is the smallest, and arguably the most famous, branch of the military.
Its birthday, November 10th, has returned once again.
In honor of this branch’s achievements and amazing years of service, let’s take an in-depth look at how the Marines were crucial to winning the Vietnam War.
The Vietnam War was one of the bloodiest and most difficult conflicts that the US was ever involved in.
The Vietcong (the armed forces of the communist North Vietnamese regime) were entrenched in the region’s thick jungles and enjoyed a tremendous “home field advantage”.
However, the Marines were deployed to root out the Vietcong and defend vital US and South Vietnamese resources.
The Marines first arrived as advisors, then became the chief protectors of key airbases, like the one at Da Nang.
Soon after the Gulf of Tonkin, the Marines were deployed in force to assist with counterinsurgency efforts.
There were nearly 70,000 Marines in Vietnam by 1966. They began providing round, sea, and air support for all US forces.
As the War progressed, the Marines saw major action in virtually all of the War's major battles.
They fought in the Eastern DMZ, and began forming the McNamara line that would assist with communist forces that tried to enter South Vietnam.
Though the line would fail to ultimately be completed, the Marines fought on.
KIA
WOUNDED
The Marines bravely fought on, first during the Tet Offensive – they repelled Vietcong forces in 1968. Then they defended Khe Sanh over the course of a 77-day siege.
The closing years of the war were still bloody.
During the 1972 Easter Offensive, Marine assistance South Vietnamese forces in some of the worst and most protracted battles of the War. It was only in 1973, when a peace treaty was signed in Paris, that the US began to withdraw from Vietnam and the Vietcong, in turn, agreed to return American prisoners of war.
The Marines led Operations Frequent Wind and Eagle Pull to evacuate the American embassies located in Saigon and Phnom Penh.
The Marines had historically operated on the principle of being the “last out”, and they showed this commitment in Vietnam more, perhaps, than in any other war.
Ultimately, nearly half a million Marines fought in Vietnam, and more than 13,000 were killed with 88,000 wounded.
Their bravery, however, helped US and South Vietnamese efforts throughout the conflict.
They undoubtedly saved thousands of lives, both civilian and those of their fellow soldiers.
These days, more Americans thankfully remember and rightfully recognize the contribution that the armed forces of the US made in the Vietnam War.
The Marines have continued their tradition of armed service and brave sacrifice in the wars that followed Vietnam.
We know they’ll continue to protect us in whatever battles are to come.
Thank you for reading, God Bless America and God Bless the United States Marine Corps.

As our military’s Commander-in-Chief, the President has an important role in our country’s defense. Despite myths spread by the mainstream media in a recent smear campaign suggesting that Trump doesn’t support or respect our military, one doesn’t have to look too far to reveal that their lies were all strategic.
Still believe their hype?
Here’s 5 ways President Trump has indeed backed our troops since he was first elected:
5. He Signed a $738 Billion Defense Spending Bill.
President Trump signed a National Defense bill. These funds assisted in military gear and equipment, along with pay raises, aircraft, and ballistic missile submarines.
The defense spending bill also contributes to a tremendous increase in army brigade combat team readiness.
This bill also was instrumental in establishing the new military branch, the Space Force, which consists of 16,000 air force personnel.
President Trump believes that space may be the “world’s newest warfighting domain.”
This new military force is another addition in support of the United State’s hierarchy of the strongest military force in the world, thanks to the help of President Trump.
4. He’s Holding United States NATO Allies Accountable
The United States spends an estimated 3.4% of our gross domestic product on defense contributions to NATO (The North Atlantic Treaty Organization).
In contrast, European countries in NATO only contribute 1.55% respectively. To put it in perspective, Germany spends less in an entire year than what the United States spends in one month.
Under President Trump, our allies across the oceans who benefit from being a part of NATO will be stepping up to the plate in a more meaningful way. They have agreed to increase their NATO contributions, and as a result, the United States anticipate that our contributions will drop to 16% from 22%.
Subsequently, these additional funds will be able to stay within our civilian and military budget from the United States, thanks to the increase from other countries.
President Trump encourages the alliances to reach a 4% GDP spend by 2024. Their contributions will add billions of dollars towards defense.
3. United States Taliban Agreement
In February of 2020, the United States and Taliban commenced an agreement. After nearly twenty years of troops in Afghanistan, the United States agreed to reduce troops and withdraw from five bases in Afghanistan.
This is a major step to the gradual full removal of US forces in the Middle East.
Talks began in 2019, but President Trump remained dominant in his decision to negotiate an agreement, halting any talks when a US soldier was killed by the Taliban.
Despite retraction of troops, the U.S forces will continue counterterrorism advancements against Al-Qaeda and ISIS.
2. Defeat of Islamic State Leader
One of President Trump’s greatest accomplishments is the authorization for defeating and killing the world’s most wanted man.
Almost one year ago, in October of 2019, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State (ISIS) died by suicide bomb while being chased and cornered into a tunnel by military dogs in Syria.
The mission was carefully managed with no American lives lost (canine or human!). President Trump is dedicated to the removal and complete eradication of ISIS terrorists.
At its prime, ISIS controlled 34,000 square miles. Since the defeat, ISIS no longer holds territory in Syria.
1. Trump Signed the Forever GI Bill into Legislation
In 2017, President Trump signed the Forever GI bill. This stellar bill eliminates the 15 year cap on benefits.
This bill hits big in education and housing. Under the new provisions, veterans may use their benefits for education at their convenience.
Purple Heart recipients now receive 100% of the benefits for a duration of 36 months while in school. Benefits are returned if school shuts down for members.
Family members of soldiers receive an increase in monthly educational stipends. Previously, veterans were eligible for employment assistance under the Homeless Veteran’s Program only if they were homeless or in a shelter. Currently, veterans have up to 60 days from their move in dates to apply for services. This also applies to veterans after incarcerations.
The rumors about Trump being against our proud servicemen and women couldn’t be further from the truth.
Let’s make sure we continue Trump’s presidency which will ensure a strong, supported military for another 4 years.
Thank you for reading, stay strong patriots.

The November election is fast approaching, and already many of us are anticipating just how Trump will make the next four years even better than his first administration.
Let’s take a look at some of the possible benefits we can expect from Trump and his administration once his next term is assured…
If you or your loved ones are in the military, a Trump presidency is sure to be beneficial for your future.
In fact, Trump has already improved the pay for military personnel, and all of the branches of our armed forces are much better equipped.
This trend is likely to continue when he is reelected, so patriots who support our troops have a lot to look forward to!
At the same time, Trump has been one of the most pacifistic presidents in recent history.
He’s so far reduced our military footprint abroad by pulling out soldiers from the Middle East and only resorting to targeted strikes when absolutely necessary.
This is great news for military personnel and their families.
Better pay, better equipment, and better chances of our brave servicemen and women actually returning home from deployments abroad? Sign us up!
Prior to COVID-19, unemployment was at an all-time low. This is largely due to President Trump's economic initiatives and lower tax rates across the board.
Granted, unemployment spiked sharply after the coronavirus spread throughout the country. But to be fair to Trump, any president would have had to deal with the same unemployment spike.
However, the previous trend indicates that Trump will be able to get the economy back on track as he continues opening the country and is reelected for a second term.
Lower unemployment is better for everyone and great for the national economy.
It’s also great for individuals, who were arguably hurt far worse than corporations over the course of this pandemic and requisite shutdown.
Remember that Trump was the one who closed the country’s borders to Chinese nationalists as soon as news of the coronavirus came to his desk. Although Democrat pundits soon criticized him for this choice, calling him inappropriately xenophobic, this was actually a wise move in hindsight.
It just goes to show you that Trump knows how to handle the coronavirus pandemic and he isn’t afraid to close borders or kick out foreign nationals if he thinks that they are a threat to the safety of his countrymen.
When Trump is reelected, he’ll make the nation better by protecting it from further coronavirus contamination and halting the virus’ spread.
This is a big one. When Trump is reelected, he’ll undoubtedly make the country a better and safer place by protecting our right to bear arms.
This is not only enshrined in the Constitution as an amendment, but it’s a long-standing American value that the Democrats seek to diminish.
But with Trump at the head of the government, and with his most recent Supreme Court nomination.
You can rest assured that the Second Amendment will be maintained and honored as it should be.
Americans can keep their firearms and not have to worry about a Democratic coalition taking them away.
We’re looking forward to 4 more years of strong, fearless leadership from the best President this great country has ever seen.
Don’t forget to make your vote count: Vote early - in person, if you can. That’s the best chance we have for our critically important votes for the best leader will actually be counted

November is fast approaching, and with it… Election Day!
But while the Presidential Election is always a hugely important affair, this election is possibly the most important in our lifetimes.
That’s not an exaggeration: It's just a fact.
Let’s break down exactly why this year may be a critical election not just for us, but for America’s long-term future:
4. THE SUPREME COURT PICK
To our collective sadness, Ruth Bader Ginsberg has recently passed away. But as a former Supreme Court justice, her death has left an open spot for a new appointment.
As you likely know, the president has the power to nominate/appoint the new justice, provided the nominee is approved by Congress. The Supreme Court shapes interpretation of the Constitution and any new laws passed.
While Trump will almost certainly push through his candidate for the Supreme Court, it’s important that he wins the election to see his nominee through to the end. This way, a Democratic president can’t remove her before she’s confirmed by Congress.
3. Coronavirus Isn’t Gone… Yet
While the coronavirus may be on the downturn and things are slowly starting to look up, it’s not totally gone. In fact, it may be another entire year before life fully returns to normal as we remember it.
We’ve already seen strong leadership from Donald Trump so far, and we Americans have demonstrated the wisdom of not changing presidents during a crisis multiple times throughout history; FDR and George W. Bush are just a few examples.
COVID-19 certainly counts in our eyes! Whoever wins the presidency will be in charge of leading the country out of the Coronavirus recession.
It's no secret that Joe Biden is undoubtedly not up to the job, which only increases the importance of this election.
2. Decennial Redistricting
As if 2020 wasn’t already critical enough, the decennial redistricting process – which only occurs every 10 years along with the census – has landed on this election cycle.
The party in charge of the Oval Office and Congress over the next year will be able to redistrict states and counties according to their goals.
Needless to say, this can impact the makeup of the House of Representatives, which itself can have a big impact on what legislation is written and passed over the next decade.
Thus, it’s more crucial than ever that Republicans secure the presidency so we have the momentum to also win the upcoming representative elections!
1. China is on the Rise
There are international stakes to this election as well.
China is on the rise in more ways than one, and they’re looking to usurp the United States as the dominant world power
If we don’t want this to happen, we need a president willing to play hardball with China and who won’t let them push us around. That’s not Biden. It’s Trump.
Ultimately, getting Trump re-elected is supremely important.
This election is one that Republicans and patriotic Americans everywhere cannot afford to lose.
To that end; make sure that you go out and vote. Talk to your friends and neighbors to spread the American spirit everywhere you can, to ensure we beat Joe Biden and the Democrats!
Thank you for reading... United we stand.

Americans across the country are arming themselves in much greater numbers than ever before.
There’s some good sense to this, in light of recent events and increased dangers for regular citizens.
Here are the top 4 reasons why you should arm yourself now, instead of waiting for when it may be too late:
4. Gun Control May Get More Intense
For starters, the Democrats are almost assuredly going to try to make gun control even more oppressive than it already is.
They’re gearing up for legislation that may make it difficult- if not impossible- to acquire even basic handguns sooner or later.
Right now, their target is AR-15s and similar rifles (since they erroneously refer to these as “assault rifles”). But how long until they go for more guns?
In our mind, it’s better to get any types of firearms or ammunition that you can now, especially since any future legislation may only require owners to pay fees rather than turn in weapons altogether.
But, that same legislation may make it impossible to get new guns of one type or another.
3. Riots Might Get Worse
The riots that are wracking the country may become even worse over time, particularly as we get closer to November.
We don’t want it to be so, but bad actors on both sides might try to escalate things, and riots are tricky monsters that can turn against anyone, regardless of your political affiliation.
Riots are no joke, and it’s always wise to have a way to protect yourself against a mob.
If things get physical, the only thing that might drive them away is a firearm, not your fists or any amount of martial arts training.
2. The Earlier You Practice, the Better
There’s also a bit of wisdom in arming yourself now as opposed to later, because you’ll be able to get more practice in before (if) things get bad.
Think of it this way – if you arm yourself and start practicing now, you might be able to get several weeks or months of familiarizing yourself with your firearm, before all hell potentially breaks loose.
During this time, you can perfect your shot and self-defense techniques.
If things get crazy – and they very well might – you won’t be a new gun owner with barely any knowledge of how to operate your new firearm. You’ll be proficient with it. But only if you buy now.
1. You Might Need One Tomorrow
This reason doesn’t have anything to do with current events. Instead, it’s just common sense.
The best time to get a gun is yesterday, but the second best time is right now.
After all, you might need a firearm sooner than you think.
Having a gun gives you a self-defense weapon, and prevents anyone from taking it away anytime soon.
Lock ‘N’ Load
Ultimately, we think anyone who’s looking toward the future will consider buying a firearm now rather than later.
The fact of the matter is, we don't know how things will shake out, either leading up to November or immediately after.
But, you do have control over how you prepare – be smart and go gun shopping now.

A long-standing hostility between the United States and Chinese government has heightened under the Trump administration.
Within the past ten years, the seriousness of the threat China poses to U.S. interests has drastically increased, with a new counterintelligence investigation opening every 10 hours.
FBI Director Chris Wray stated China is by far the greatest threat to the U.S national security, stating that China is a threat to America’s innovation, economic security and democratic ideas.
He then continued to state the FBI is currently investigating 2,000 cases tracing back to China.
All of this isn't even the tip of the iceberg.
Let’s take a look at the real reasons why Trump is so hard on China, regardless of what Beijing Biden or the Mainstream Marxist Media might say.
4. Spreading Misinformation & Heavy Censorship
China’s search engines are intensely censored and firewalled from receiving information from the rest of the world.
Foreign owned media needs approval from the Chinese government as a means to publish and even blocks certain Apple’s iTunes movie and iBooks apps.
The CCP also does not allow freedom of religion, restricting religious practices to five faiths and only allows government approved churches.
3. Unfair Trade Deals
Not only is China a severe threat to national security, the trade deals with China needed incalculable amounts of improvement.
In 2019, President Trump announced an increase of 25% on Chinese import tax of clothing and electronics, an increase from 10%.
In response, China imposed tariffs on more than 500 U.S products and decreased the value of the Yuan, which resulted in President Trump calling them a “currency manipulator.”
When the Yuan loses value, it decreases the potency of Trump’s tariffs.
At the direction of the Trump administration, Meng Wanzhou, the Chief Financial Officer for the largest Chinese telecommunication provider, Huawei was arrested in Canada for violations of trade sanctions.
2. 5G Espionage
In retaliation, Huawei sued the U.S for restricting federal agencies from using the products. President Trump then discouraged other countries in building 5G networks with China.
Two Chinese hackers were indicted on charges of spying on the Coronavirus vaccine research, which led to President Trump ordered the closing of the consulate in Houston.
In response, China then ordered the closing of the US consulate in Chengdu.
1. Informational & Biological Warfare
With the heavy censorships and lack of communication from foreign media, China informed the rest of the world about COVID-19 at a laggard pace.
The pandemic has only heightened tensions, causing an invaluable amount of damage to the U.S. economy and a tremendous disruption to the lives of American citizens.
As you can see, the President and the American people have more than enough ammunition to be hard on China.
Their destructive ideologies & complete disregard for not only the American public but their own citizens warrants a full-fledged response.
Be sure to REGISTER TO VOTE, election day is just over a month away.

In particular, the Democrats and mainstream media want you to believe President Trump is racist and doesn’t care about minority groups in America. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. You don’t have to search too far to discover that all of his actions show otherwise.
If you take research into your own hands, the information is all there... But today, we’ve saved you the digging and are pleased to proudly dispel all those myths and racist labels inaccurately bestowed on our President, right here...
Prior to the recent COVID-19 global shutdown, African American unemployment was at a record low of 5.5% under Trump’s administration.
This is the lowest ever recorded since the 1970s when the Department of Labor began to collect data.
Under Trump’s dedicated watch, the African American poverty rate was 20.8% in 2018, another lowest ever record since data collections in the 1960s.
President Trump increased funding to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), under the Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources for Education (FUTURE) Act.
To clarify, this will provide $255 million annually to HBCUs, more than any President in history.
In the Hispanic community, President Trump broke records as well. On July 9, 2020, President Trump signed an executive order, the White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative.
Under this program, with coordination of the Federal government; educational, workforce, and business programs will be implemented with a goal to improve outcomes.
The main takeaway of the Prosperity Initiative is the focus on access to education and economic opportunities for the Hispanic community.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) granted almost $2 billion worth of loans to Latino small business owners. The SBA Emerging Leaders is a program that provides training and education for future entrepreneurs in under-served communities.
Hispanic entrepreneurs were creating wealth at staggering rates prior to the COVID-19 shutdowns. In 2019, the average revenue of Latino owned businesses increased by 46.5%.
In response to COVID-19 financial hardships for small business owners, Congress created the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). And again, Latino and Asian unemployment rates reached the lowest ever recorded, 4.4% and 2.2% respectively.
President Trump additionally signed legislation supporting funds for Child Care and local community developments such as affordable housing, anti-poverty programs, and infrastructure development.
He also pushes for school choice, so families can place their children in a quality school, public or private. The revision of education is key in black and Hispanic communities for economic progress.
Trump has discussed apprenticeship programs so our youth can have access to better jobs and better training without the need of a four year degree.
It is suggested that minorities will benefit most from these programs, due to financial circumstances of obtaining a four year degree.
It is evident President Trump prioritizes working families and education for our children.
Hearing the slanderous and outlandish claims from the media suggesting that Trump doesn't care about our minorities all seems a bit nebulous in light of this overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Of course, all this deception dovetails perfectly into the message the Democrat-owned mainstream media would like us to believe.
Our President has done more for the American people- no matter their race, religion, or background- than any other President in history. Let's just hope this word gets out before too much damage is done. It's time to stop the violence.

There’s been a lot of buzz about this decision, but Trump hasn’t been particularly clear about why he’s made this move.
Let’s go over the reasons we think are most logical:
The most surface level reason for banning TikTok is because it contains legitimate Chinese spyware. That's right, and it's not hyperbole.
While it may not be labeled as such, there are legitimate programs and lines of code that spy on users for the app and report that data straight to their Chinese corporate overseers.
But what’s the big deal? After all, don’t companies like Facebook do the same thing?
While this is largely true, the Chinese government has a bigger hand in all of its citizens’ economic enterprises compared to the US.
The fact that all this US data is lined up there for the picking for China to legally access, makes it a good idea to ban TikTok for this reason alone.
But the spying threat goes even deeper and you think about it. Through TikTok, the Chinese government has a window into American manufacturing, engineering, and military operations.
A serviceman's wife or child who is using the app will be inadvertently providing the Chinese government with data on that servicemember's movements, deployment dates, and even more.
Allowing such a blatantly observational app to remain in the hands of US citizens and military members is something that any self-respecting president cannot and should not allow.
This is a matter of national security, even if it seems a little over-the-top on its face.
There are economic reasons to ban TikTok as well. The Chinese are trying to rapidly catch up to the United States and its economic dominance.
One of the biggest avenues through which they intend to flex their economic muscles is through digital apps and computing.
By banning TikTok, Trump is limiting the power of the app and the money brought in to the Chinese economy.
This is a good thing, since China will likely be the biggest rival to the US over the next few decades.
On a related note, banning TikTok sends a clear signal to Chinese investors that have progressively been taking over American real estate and manufacturing over the last few decades.
Any American concerned about Chinese influence has undoubtedly voiced these concerns before.
In our eyes, this is almost the best benefit since it limits the economic hegemony that it is trying to extend throughout the West as it already has through the East.
All in all, it’s a good thing that Trump has decided to ban TikTok.
While some people will likely be a bit irritated now that their favorite social media app is going away, it’s a small price to pay for continued security and to ensure that China doesn’t get “too big for its britches”.

These historic events always take place on January 20. On a regular Sunday inauguration, the actual event occurs at 12 PM EST sharp.
However, in the event that the 20th falls on a Sunday, the President-elect is inaugurated privately. An additional inauguration ceremony will be held the following Monday on the 21st.
The event is comprised of both the newly elected President and Vice President-elect swearing the oath of office, plus the former giving his or her inauguration speech.
The Joint Congressional Committee is responsible for planning & executing the event. This is especially hilarious seeing as Pelosi will be heavily responsible for planning Trump's re-election.
Because this is such a serious event, you’ll have to explain why you want to attend. In general, volunteers, civic organizations, and community leaders are given priority over normal citizens.
If you get all the way there and can't secure tickets, you can still witness Trump being sworn in again through massive video screens on the National Mall.
Tickets to the inauguration are totally free.
But because of the nature of the event, they’re normally in high demand and "sell-out" quite quickly. You can apply for tickets through your local official that represents your residential congressional district.
It’s always important to bring snacks, including water, along for the journey. While restaurants are open, it’s almost impossible to get food easily, particularly when you are packed into the plaza with the other viewers.
Portable bathrooms are also set up but may be packed or difficult to reach. It’s recommended that you take care of your business beforehand for convenience.
Absolutely not. Aside from the streets being crowded with attendees, the government also shuts down many of the major roadways in D.C. to ensure adequate safety and security for POTUS and other important officials.
After the ceremony, the leader of the free world attends ceremonial parade that progresses down Pennsylvania Avenue from the US Capitol to the White House. The parade begins at 3 PM on Inauguration Day barring any delays.
It's a lot easier to see the parade since viewing it from the sidewalk is free and you don’t need a ticket (though it may still be difficult to get a good view because of how crowded the streets usually are).
As you can see, the inauguration ceremony is a busy and exciting event to attend. It’s a bit easier, in aggregate, to attend compared to something like New York City Ball Drop for New Year’s Eve.
But with the right preparation, you can attend this upcoming historical landmark and see the festivities for yourself!

Recently President Trump held a press conference with respect to significant updates on natural guideline rollbacks.
This briefing was 60 minutes, so the patriots at Liberty Tee Shop endured the whole briefing to give you an easy to read breakdown.
President Trump strutted right out into the Rose Garden today and put screaming liberals in their place.
He will not defund the police - he will DEFEND the police, as he should.
This historical executive order was signed into effect today shortly before his press briefing. Here's everything you need to know.
“Without police there is chaos, without law there is anarchy, and without safety there is catastrophe.”
“President Obama and Vice President Biden never even tried to fix this during their eight year period. The reason why is because they had no idea how to do it.”
Late Wednesday evening, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany provided President Trump's official response to screaming libtards demanding monumental military bases to be renamed. Trump had 0% of it.
Plus, the Coronavirus Task Force gave the American people critical Coronavirus updates through Press Secretary Kayleigh "Reporters have the IQ of a potato" McEnany.
As always, here's a quick & easy-to-read breakdown to save you from listening to CNN Fake News leader Jim Acosta.
"My administration will not even consider the requested changes."

Here's everything you need to know in a simplified, easy-to-read format:
]]>White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany holds a press briefing regarding Coronavirus, President Trump's stance on the protests & riots, and the current state of America.
Here's everything you need to know in a simplified, easy-to-read format:
Question: “What’s the President’s thinking on growing movement to either defund or dismantle police forces across the country? What reforms does the President think would be appropriate in the wake of the George Floyd killing?”
Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany:
Question: “Does the President agree with any of the mayors across the country who are saying, ‘I think we can take some of the money from policing and put it towards other programs that could be effective in community development,’ which could lead to the potential for a lesser need for policing?”
House Secretary McEnany:
Question: “As you are going over your reforms and what you think is needed, does the President feel that there is systemic racism in law enforcement?”
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany:
Question: “But he doesn’t think that there is systemic racism in law enforcement?”
Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany:
Press: “Does he still believe that the NFL players who kneel as a form of protest against police brutality should be fired?”
Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany:
Question: “But does he think they should be fired?”
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany:
Question: “Is there anything in the Democrats’ Policing Act that the administration supports?”
Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany:
Question: “Does the administration support the banning of the use of chokeholds?”
Press Secretary McEnany:
Question: “But two weeks after all of this civil unrest, why does the White House not have a plan? The President said on Friday that his plan for combating racism is a strong economy. How does that work?”
Press Kayleigh:
Question: “But you’re saying he will eventually have a police reform plan?”
Press Secretary Kayleigh:

White House Response:
Question: “The new Lafayette Square fencing. Do you have any indication on when that might be removed or taken down, since the protests have become more peaceful? Who makes those decisions?”
White House Response:
Question: “On Hong Kong; Can you say when will the administration revoke Hong Kong’s trade status? Do you think that move will be the only thing the administration does? Is there something else planned? Do you think that China will listen? Are you seeing any signs of China relenting on Hong Kong?”
White House Response:
Question: “A week after what we saw in Lafayette Park last Monday night, are there any people here in this building who believe that or does the President believe that perhaps things went the way they shouldn’t have gone? Is there any regret on the part of the President or anyone here about how people were treated, people who were peacefully protesting, and how they were rushed out so violently?”
White House Response:
“Park Police acted as they felt they needed to at that time, in response, an we stand by those actions.”
Question: “The country and the world saw this violent clash between the people who were otherwise peacefully protesting. But really, the President is not sorry for the way things went?”
White House Response:
Question: “You do know that the burning of St. Johns happened on Sunday night, and a lot of violence that you’re talking about, that happened on Sunday night. What he was asking about was Monday, when, as anyone who was down there knows, it was almost exclusively peaceful, especially the moments before the chemical munitions were used on those protestors. So do you just want to clarify that about the burning of St. Johns?”
White House Response:
“When you hurl objects at the police, when you don’t move after three orders given, Park Police acted appropriately.”
Question: “As you had noted, the President talked about the protests, he’s talked about the death of George Floyd, But he still hasn’t given a formal address to the nation. Why is that? Are there plans for him to do that anytime soon?”
White House Response:
Question: “Obviously we’re hearing a very optimistic message from the President about the b numbers, and the stock market recovery. But in an executive order on Thursday night, the President said that, without intervention, the U.S. faced the likelihood of a long economic recovery with persistent high unemployment. I’m just wondering why are we hearing two messages from the President and how the American people are supposed to feel about the economy for the rest of the year?”
White House Response:
Question: “New York city began reopening it’s economy today after a very long lockdown. Does President Trump think we need another coronavirus stimulus package? If so, what would he want to see in it before he signs it?”
Response:
Question: “Would President Trump support an actual increase in police funding to help offset some of the damage that would be waged on departments that are defunded across the country?”
Response:
Question: “I wanted to ask you about the Defunding the Police movement that’s going on. How does it impact the crime scenario here?”
White House Response:
Question: “Does President Trump urge Police Andrew to comply with his Department of Justice’s request for an interview in the case against Jeffery Epstein? ”
White House Response:
Question: “Is there any thought being given to returning to, if not a daily coronavirus briefing, frequent coronavirus briefings? On the reopenings, President said some weeks back that he would continue to monitor the situation and that if any states were doing things that he didn’t think were appropriate, he would step in to intervene?”
White House Response:
Yesterday afternoon, President Trump hitched a ride on Air Force 1 to Maine to deliver remarks about the incredible bounce-back of the American economy post COVID-19 shutdown.
Here's a breakdown of some unsurprising yet amazing economic updates & announcements:
It's no surprise that The Donald has been a fearless leader with unshakable resolve throughout these increasingly uncertain times.
The reporting team at Liberty Tee Shop watched the briefing and is providing you with a summary of what you need to know.
“China has raided our factories, offshore our jobs, gutted our industries, stole our intellectual property, and violated their commitments under the World Trade Organization.”
"As of today, the United States will not be a part of the World Health Organization."

The recent White House Press Briefing on Thursday, May 7, included some incredibly important topics, mainly centered around Texas being the first state to re-open.
The press asked questions to both President Trump and Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas.
It was a lengthy interview, so I condensed it down to an easy-to-read, bullet-point format to save you time while keeping you up-to-date on important developments of re-opening America.
President Trump opened the interview by stating that 2021 will be an amazing year for the American economy, and is proud to see the governor of Texas spearheading the re-opening initiative.
Greg Abbott went on to say that he was only able to do this as a result of his great team, staff, and the amount of help & support that the President has provided Texas throughout the Coronavirus pandemic.
He went on to confirm that Texas is currently in the process of slowly re-opening, and continued to assert that the re-opening will be completely safe by figuring out the correct strategies to ensure that the public is and remains safe.
They began taking questions...
Question: “How is it possible that someone that tested positive for COVID-19 got so close to you?”
President Trump:
“Testing is not a perfect art, no matter what you do, testing is not a perfect art.”
-----
Question: “Could we get your reaction to some breaking news that the Justice Department has decided to dismiss the case against Michael Flynn? Are you aware of that?”
President Trump:

President Trump:
Greg Abbot:

Greg Abbott:

Mike Pence:

President Trump:
-----
Question: “How much impairments does false news have of your thinking on the pandemic?”
President Trump:
-----
Question: “On the Wuhan lab, you said on Sunday that there would be a very strong report coming out soon about the connection between the lab and the virus. Is that still coming, when should we expect that?"
President Trump:
-----
Question: “People have locked up $1200 for a couple months. Should they be expected to live off of that same $1200 for the next couple of months, or is more money coming?”
President Trump:
“The best thing for us to do is to get our country going.”
This past Sunday evening, Fox News held their Town Hall segment and interviewed our fearless leader.
Surprisingly, respectful and interesting questions were asked. Unsurprisingly, no bulls#!t answers were given.
I condensed this 2 hour segment into an easy 10-minute read article to keep you informed on what actually matters.
Interviewer: "What do you say to the people who are scared of re-opening the country?"
Trump:
Interviewer: Do you have advice for people who are about to lose their home, having no more food, having no money... Is there more help coming?”
Trump:
"There is more help coming, there has to be."
Interviewer: "Do you think we went to far with shutting down the country?"
Trump:
“We were going to lose anywhere from 75, 80, to 100,000 people; that’s a horrible thing. We shouldn’t lose one person over this, this should’ve been stopped in China. It should’ve been stopped.”
Interviewer: "From what you’ve learned from this, how you’ve dealt with it now, if it comes up in the fall, you’ll do something different?”
Trump:
Interviewer: “What kind of federal protocols are going to be put in place for testing to ensure that my potential customers and staff feel safe? When people are leaving or coming from a different state that doesn’t have the same testing, are we going to feel safe?”
Trump:
Interviewer: “Do you think as deaths are going up and cases are going up, that we really are on the other side medically, and that this is a great success story from the federal government?"
Trump:
“Some states have been doing a better job than others. In some states you can do a lot less than other states.”
COVID-19 Survivor from the audience: “How are we going to make sure we have enough Remdesivir available for everybody?” (Drug that helps fight the virus.)
Trump:
School teacher from the audience: "Are there any ideas for teachers to get back into our classrooms?"
Trump:
Interviewer: “Are you going to urge the nations universities and schools to go back in September?”
Trump:
Question from the Public - “It’s been widely reported that the threat of Coronavirus was included in your daily intelligence briefings for weeks prior to the first confirmed case in the U.S. Can you please explain to us why you did not act sooner to prepare this country for this pandemic?”
Trump:
Interviewer: “So when you did stop traveling from China, about 40,000 people came back to this country… You said they were tested, who tested them and where?”
Trump:
Interviewer: “Do you think you are bringing the country back together?”
Trump:
Interviewer: “There’s a race to win for the vaccine between countries in the world, so pushing this vaccine development in order to get it to go faster leads to human trials and volunteering to basically inject themselves with COVID-19. Are you concerned about the ethics or the risk of that in that push?”
Trump:
"No, because they’re volunteers, they know what they are getting themselves into.”
Question from the Public - “How can we manage to keep working with a very slim profit margin to begin with and absorb the shortage price increase at this point?”
Trump:
Teacher from the audience: “What will be done both in the short term and long term to protect the vulnerable in senior home, nursing homes, and assisted living centers?”
Trump:
Interviewer: “How concerned are you about hospitals that are not dealing with COVID-19 and they are letting people go?”
Trump:
"We have to get elective surgery and let them go back."
Question from the Public: “The Coronavirus is disproportionately affecting communities of color, what will your administration do to address this?
Trump:
Question from the Public: “If you are elected for a second term, what’s your plan to be more physically responsible, to either reduce or eliminate the deficit in response to increase the federal spending for the Coronavirus stimulus packages?”
Trump:
Interviewer: “Why are all of the antibiotics made in China?”
Trump:
Question from the Public: “How will you respond to the joblessness while also ensuring our infrastructure is better than ever?”
Trump:
Pence:
Question from the Public: “Would you consider permanently or temporarily reducing or eliminating tariffs?”
Trump:
Interviewer: “Are you considering new tariffs on China as punishment for their handling of the virus?”
Trump:
Question from the Public - “Is there enough evidence that China misled the global community by the Coronavirus? If so how would we respond?”
Trump:
Interviewer: “Do you think it was made by somewhere or a mistake?”
Trump:
Throughout the entirety of the Coronavirus crisis, President Trump has repeatedly said that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
After yesterday's press briefing, it seems that we are starting to see flickers of that light.
I saved you an hour of your time to watch yesterday's briefing, so here's a breakdown of what was said & done.
“It’s going to be gone. It’s going to leave. It’s going to be eradicated.”
"People will thrive, industries will soar, and America will rise like never before."
President Trump awarded the following American citizens for outstanding behavior during the crisis:
After liberals spreading fake news about people injecting themselves with disinfectant all weekend, President Trump made his triumphant return to the presidential podium on the back of a bald eagle donning a massive ballsack.
Triumphant... Donning... Get it?...
Anyways, let's get down to what you're here for.
Trump then mounted his bald eagle and flew into the sunset horizon to continue his search for the cure of liberalism - I mean - Coronavirus.
It's a breath of fresh, disinfected air to see the steady stream of good news coming out of The White House the last few days.
As promised, here's a breakdown of the important bits from today's Coronavirus White House Press Briefing.
Trump dropped the bomb of immigration last night, and provided more insight into his bold AF statement in today's White House Briefing.
As always, here's a simple breakdown of this briefing in easy-to-read bullet points so you don't have to sit through 2 hours of rude reporters.
“Among our grief we are making tremendous strides against the invisible enemy.”
President Trump then brought Steve Mnuchin to explain the package
Trump then took back the stage
“It would be wrong and unjust for Americans laid off by the virus to be replaced with new immigrant labor flown in from abroad. We must first take care of the american worker.”
Immigration
Other Updates
This week has been a monumental one in the fight against "The Invisible Enemy".
Yesterday's 2+ hour White House Press Briefing was pretty boring, so here's the important bits without any BS.
"Some day in the not-too-distant future, we are going to have our country back."
“Even as we prepare to repair our economy, america continues to wage an all out medical war to defeat the invisible enemy.”
“We are now the king of ventilators with tens of thousands under construction.”
Guidelines to Open Up America Again
“Under President Trump’s guide, we are going to continue to work every single day to make sure that the states and communities have the testing they need to reopen at the time and manner of their choosing”
Testing
Happy Good Friday from Liberty Tee Shop!
Today's Coronavirus White House Briefing was filled with positivity, Jesus, and hope. (Not the Obama Bin Laden kind).
Finally, a man in the white house who loves God and America.
Here's a breakdown of only what you need to know from President Trump's COVID-19 White House Briefing.
"Today is Good Friday, and this Sunday millions of Christians celebrate Easter and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. At this holy time, we pray that god will heal the sick, comfort the heartbroken, and bless our heroes.”
"We must keep supply chains moving... We're going to help out our farmers."
Medical Front Updates
COVID-19 Testing Updates
Economic Updates
“On this good Friday, we remember those who lost their lives to the Coronavirus.”
"Wherever two or more are gathered, Jesus is there also."
There wasn't much of an update this weekend, but President Trump pulled through with an uplifting briefing tonight.
I sat through 2+ hours of idiotic reporters asking questions about a letter a sailor wrote so you don't have to. You're welcome.
Here's a breakdown of all you really need to know from today's Coronavirus White House Briefing.
"The next week, week and a half will be a big surge the professionals tell us, and I think we’re in good shape for it. Really good timing.”
"Resources from this national stockpile need to reach these warriors, and we’re making sure they do... If any state is having any difficulty securing supplies, we urge the National Guard to assist in the delivery.”
Vaccine & Treatments Updates
Testing Updates
"We have more cases because we have done more testing”
Economic Relief Updates
“We have mobilized unbeatable strength of american determination, ingenuity, and compassion... We will win this battle, we will defeat this enemy, and we will rise from this present crisis with strength, unity, and resolve."
"We know we are at the beginning of a very tough week in America, but because the American people have been embracing social distancing, putting into practice the advice of state and local leaders, and the President's Coronavirus guidelines of our country, we are not only seeing remarkable progress in Washington state and California, we’re also beginning to see a leveling in other parts of the country.”
"If the military is being deployed domestically, it is another reason for every American to be following these guidelines”
Let's end today's s#!tshow with a chuckle. Here are some gems from President Trump telling idiot reporters that they're idiots.
“You're a third rate reporter and you should be disgraced. You will never make it.”
“You’re just incapable of asking a question in a positive manner”
“I wish we had a fair media in this country, and we really don't”
What do you think of the situation? I have a feeling it's coming to an end.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

I sat through the 2+ hour White House briefing today to bring you only the important bits, and I gotta tell ya, I don't know how Trump deals with CNN's Jim Acosta.
Seriously, if there was anybody who shouldn't be a reporter, it's this un-American prick.
But, I digress... You're here for a condensed version of the 2+ hour White House briefing, so here it is.
“Some of what we are learning now will live long into the future”
"It's like oil reserves, but more valuable."
"It's going to be a very, very painful 2 weeks... This is the time for all Americans to come together."
“I know it is stressful to follow guidelines, it is more stressful to those healthcare workers on the front lines”
“30 days will make a difference in the lives of the American people”
Testing
Operation Air Bridge
“Help is on the way, we will leave no stone unturned in America or anywhere around the world to have resources and equipment for [American Healthcare Workers] to do your job.”
-----------
The closing questions were stupid, inflammatory, and a waste of my time.
Trust me, I suffered through best-selling fictional writer Jim Acosta asking shit like, "If you activated these Presidential Guidelines sooner, hypothetically, how many American lives could have been saved?"

The world is so upside down and ass-backwards right now that the most exciting thing is a gay, polygamist, meth-head, politician, exotic tiger owner. No, I'm not talking about Nancy Pelosi, I'm talking about Joe Exotic from the Netflix show "Tiger King".
Seriously, if you have seven hours to blow, watch it and thank me later.
Okay, I gave you a break from all the craziness, you're welcome. Now let's get to it.
Today, President Trump proved to us yet again that he is a President for the American people by making two huge decisions to get s#!t done.
Earlier today, our great President signed the $2 trillion Coronavirus Relief Bill that will bring much-needed relief to the American people and American businesses.
While signing the bill, he congratulated both political parties for coming together to find a solution for the American people when they needed them the most right after he cracked a pretty ballsy joke:
"I've never signed anything with a 'T' on it."
This economic plan is the largest in American history. It contains:
In the very same day, our red-blooded President activated the DePA against mega-corporation against GM to begin producing ventilators for American hospitals.
American lives are being lost daily, so instead of letting GM swing their balls around, President Trump is punching them right in the sack and then reminding them that they have a contract they need to fulfill.
The enforcement came as a result of GM going back on their promise to manufacture 40,000 ventilators "very quickly" by instead saying they could only produce 6,000 by late April.
The President had this to say about it:
“General Motors MUST immediately open their stupidly abandoned Lordstown plant in Ohio, or some other plant, and START MAKING VENTILATORS, NOW!!!!!! FORD, GET GOING ON VENTILATORS, FAST!!!!!!”
Hey, when s#!t's gotta get done, Trump gets s#!t done.
--------
What are your thoughts on the economic package?
Do you think GM will try to screw the Americans out of medical supplies again?
Did Carol Baskin kill her husband?
