Pope Francis continues to pound away at President Trump for his promise to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. He voices his criticism from the Vatican City, which is surrounded by massive walls rising 40 feet tall.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer dramatically stated, "There are tears running down the cheeks of the Statue of Liberty" (and teared up himself) in condemning President Trump for ordering a temporary halt on immigrants from seven countries. But less than two years ago he said "a pause may be necessary" in the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the U.S. Voters are fed up with double-talking politicians.

Members of Congress are supposed to be intelligent and well informed in order to make important decisions about national and world affairs. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., failed the test. While blabbering about impeaching President Trump she declared, "he is wrapping his arms around Putin while Putin is continuing to advance into...Korea?" Suppose she meant Crimea?

Democrats protesting President Trump's executive orders on immigrating had some sound problems, but House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi came through loud and clear when she prompted Rep. Andrew Carson, D-Ind.) on a hot mike to say, "Tell them you're a Muslim."

When is a ban not a ban? When Donald Trump says so. When the president announced he had signed executive orders barring people from seven predominantly Muslim countries from traveling to the U.S. for 90 days, he said, "We're going to have a very strict ban." But his press secretary, Sean Spicer, strongly emphasized that "It's not a travel ban. It's a vetting system to keep America safe."

While many of her colleagues were speaking out about President Trump's Supreme Court nomination and his "get tough" policy on immigration, Sen. Tammy Spicer, D- Wis.) was more concerned about soy and almond milk. In a letter to the president she said plant-based drinks sold as milk are "unfair to dairy farmers" and urged an FDA crackdown on mislabeling of non-dairy products.
