McConnell Cancels Summer Recess Due To ‘Historic Obstruction’ By Senate Democrats

This Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that he is canceling the August recess.

Senators will need to return home for state work during the first week of August, and they are expected to be in for the remaining three weeks of the month.

“Due to the historic obstruction by Senate Democrats of the president’s nominees, and the goal of passing appropriations bills prior to the end of the fiscal year, the August recess has been canceled,” McConnell announced in a statement on Thursday afternoon.

“Senators should expect to remain in session in August to pass legislation, including appropriations bills, and to make additional progress on the president’s nominees.” he added.

This announcement comes after a group of 16 Republican senators, with Republican Sen. David Perdue of Georgia leading the charge, made pressure to McConnell to cancel the August recess, back in early May.

The coalition of Republican senators also urged McConnell to make the Senate work through Friday and on some weekends.

Senators usually go home to their districts on Thursday afternoon and are not used working on Friday’s.

The request to cancel the August recess was introduced last year when newer GOP senators and President Donald Trump asked of leadership in 2017 in order to get action on repealing and replacing Obamacare.

This truly is a job well done for the coalition of Republicans. It was about time someone made the senators do their jobs.

Senators need to work for the people for a change. The people who voted for them, not the lobbyists who fill their pockets.

President Trump Sends Powerful Message Of How Moms Are ‘America’s Strength’ in Heart-Warming Mother’s Day Address

This Sunday is a special day for many women in America. President Donald Trump wished Americans a happy Mother’s Day and shared a heartwarming message about how their “love and courage and devotion” has helped shape this great nation.

“Since the earliest days of our republic, America’s strength has come from the love and courage and devotion of our mothers,” said the President.

“They helped us gain our independence,” he continued. “Through their grit, determination and incredible spirit, they pioneered the West and settled the frontier. During World War II, America’s mothers helped build the greatest arsenal for democracy.”

President Trump also shared some thoughts about his own mother Mary MacLeod, who sadly passed away in 2000.

“I learned so much from my mother,” President Trump said. “She was just incredible. Warm, loving, really smart, could be tough if she had to be, but basically she was a really nice person.”

“So much of what I’ve done and so much of what I’ve become is because of my mother,” he added. “I miss her a lot.”

President Trump’s message comes after first lady Melania Trump shared her thoughts on the holiday during a White House event honoring military mothers and spouses just few days ago.

“Mother’s Day, which is this Sunday, is celebrated just one time per year. I don’t know about all of you, but I think mothers should be celebrated each and every day,” said the First Lady before continuing:

“As a mother myself, I know what goes into raising a child. It takes an incredible amount of strength, a lot of time, a generous amount of patience, and all of our love. As moms, we are so incredibly privileged to be able to bring children into this world and be a part of helping them grow into adults.”

“Because of the powerful bond between a mother and her child, when they feel emotions, so do we – whether they are happy or nervous, sad or excited, we feel those things with them,” she concluded. “I think it is one of the most powerful and beautiful parts of motherhood.”
