US Suspects North Korea’s New ICBM Could Strike West Coast Cities
North Korea’s new intercontinental ballistic missile may have a greater range than analysts and observers initially thought. North Korea tested the Hwasong-14 on July 4, and in the immediate aftermath, experts assessed that the range was somewhere between 3,700 and 4,300 miles, potentially putting Alaska within striking distances. Following additional analysis, some expert observers expressed concerns that the new North Korean missile may have a far greater range than they initially thought. “The question is whether they tested this at full range,” Melissa Hanham, a leading arms expert and senior research associate at the East Asia Nonproliferation Program in the ...

Everybody Is Forgetting That Clinton Allies Did The Same Thing As Don Jr.
Many journalists reacted breathlessly to a New York Times report on Sunday revealing that President Trump’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., met with a Russian lawyer who indicated she had damaging information about Hillary Clinton.

Govt. ‘will shut down without border-wall funding’
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows said Monday that a government shutdown is highly possible if proper funding for the U.S.-Mexico border wall is not included in a spending bill. According to Meadows, conservatives will block any spending bill that does not include border wall funding, and many conservative members won’t support any funding plan unless it includes provisions for a wall. “There is nothing more critical that has to be funded than funding the border wall for two reasons,” Meadows said in a phone interview with Breitbart News. “One is it is a commitment that the president made to the American people and one that ...

GOP: Cruz-Lee Health Bill Tweak Hinges on CBO Score
A change to the Senate healthcare bill proposed by Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Mike Lee, R-Utah, hinges on an analysis from the Congressional Budget Office, Republican leaders said Monday. The results will also determine whether the Republicans support the current Senate healthcare bill, The Hill reported. "I think it's going to depend entirely — I think a lot of it is going to depend on how CBO evaluates it," Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., said, The Hill reported. "What does this do to coverage numbers, and how does it affect the overall pool, and how does it affect rates for ... Read More
