Republicans

This Bible passage (Matthew 18:1-6) is getting a lot of attention recently. Let me use the King James Version so beloved by evangelicals:

There is an American congressional delegation traveling in the Russian Federation. According to TASS, the delegation has seven members:

President Trump’s list of Supreme Court candidates has narrowed from a reported 25 originally, down to between five and seven as of Sunday July 1st. Bloomberg News reported that the list includes two women as prospective picks.
The President has been listening closely to the advice given by his counsel Don McGahn and judicial adviser Leonard Leo, the executive Vice President of the conservative Federalist Society.
