January 1, President Trump with a big win from the High Court

The work week ended on a high note for President Trump with a big win from the High Court.

The Supreme Court’s decision, which broke 5-4 down party lines, allows the president to divert money from the Pentagon’s budget to build his border wall.  On Friday the president also signed a new asylum agreement with Guatemala.

Also, online bullying is on the rise, especially among girls. There are too many people driving too fast in our national parks, and the animals are paying the price, not just the speeders who are getting tickets. And if you didn’t feel inferior yet, we have a story about a 6 year old YouTuber buying an $8 million property.  What a time to be alive.

Enjoy your Saturday.
