*"Weekly News Wrap-Up 6/6/2017"* by Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "You want to know why the “Left” hates Donald Trump? Look no further than the lies, false narratives and fake news of the mainstream media (MSM). Several U.S. Congressmen were shot while practicing for a charity baseball game in Washington, D.C.

Is Northern Virginia Ready To Walk Away From “Bigot Bob” Marshall And Elect A Transgender Woman?
We didn’t get too involved in this week’s Virginia primary races basically because the top race— for governor— pitted an establishment conservative Democrat against a fake progressive who I know personally to be unfit, in terms of character, for high office. Most of people I think of allies looked the other other way at Perriello’s weaknesses and backed him. I was more excited about the Lt. Governor’s race, where a geneuine progressive champion, Justin Fairfax ran— and prevailed— in a 3-way race. Justin beat Susan Platt and Gene Rossi, 49.1% to, respectively 39.2% and 11.7%.

This is North Korea's Nuclear Weapons Strategy
*Adam P. MacDonald* *Security, Asia* North Korea is well on its way to becoming a nuclear-armed state with the Kim Jong-un regime impervious to coercion, sanctions or incentives. Any attempt by the United States to conduct a disarming first strike against North Korea’s nuclear arsenal and missile forces would be extremely risky, possibly initiating a full-scale war with Pyongyang. While it is militarily inferior, Pyongyang possesses the capability to inflict severe damage to in-theatre US units and regional allies — most importantly mass casualties in and around Seoul.

But as The New American's Foreign Correspondent Alex Newman explains in this video, giving up your freedom and giving your money to Gore and his cronies will not save you from "climate change." In fact, the entire theory underpinning this has been so discredited, it's hard to believe Gore is still pushing it.

Steven, this scam is worse than you imagined. The late John Daly showed quite convincingly that the rural reporting stations haven't warmed at all. They typically show it was slightly colder in the 50's 60's 70's, but the most recent 25 years was generally the same temp as 1900 to 1924. Daly's long list of rural stations just happens to include where I live, St. Cloud, MN and his trend line matches our local university records to a T. I have not looked at all the stations but curiously one station that shows cooling is Al Gore's Tennessee! Love the irony. Daly's website: http://www.... more »

New Russia Sanctions: The Deep State Unifies Congress
When it comes to bad foreign policy, the House and Senate are completely bipartisan. Yesterday's 97-2 Senate vote for more Russia sanctions was a perfect case in point. What justifies yet more sanctions on Russia? Violating the territorial integrity of Ukraine, meddling in the US election, and conducting war in Syria. But if this is the measure, shouldn't the Senate sanction the US government as well? After all, the US is violating Syria's territorial integrity with its illegal base, it has meddled in more than 100 elections since 1945, and it has been fighting a proxy (and real) wa... more »

"Courage is a heart word. The root of the word courage is cor - the Latin word for heart. In one of its earliest forms, the word courage meant "To speak one's mind by telling all one's heart."

But in my opinion, this definition fails to recognize the inner strength and level of commitment required for us to actually speak honestly and openly about who we are and about our experiences - good and bad.
