Proof that Men Have Better Friends…
Friendship among Women:
A woman didn't come home one night. The next morning she told her husband that she had slept over at a friend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew anything about it.

Ron DeSantis
Children are among the most vulnerable among us and deserve the highest protections of the law. This week, the House of Representatives is voting on legislation to protect children from harm and bring perpetrators to justice, including my Targeting Child Predators Act.
After speaking with Florida law enforcement about the challenges they face when tracking suspects online, I introduced the Targeting Child Predators Act. This bill will prevent suspects from destroying evidence and covering their tracks, by providing law enforcement with a limited window of time to investigate before an internet service provider notifies the suspected child predator of the existence of a lawfully-issued subpoena.
Below is a link to a video which explains the proposed law. Our daughter Helene has been involved with the work Congressman SeSantis is doing on this bill from the earliest.
Committee approves Scott Brown as ambassador
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has approved the nomination of former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown to be U.S. ambassador to New Zealand.
The approval — made by voice vote yesterday — all but assures that the full Senate will confirm Brown’s selection for the post after the Memorial Day recess.
Brown is a Republican who represented the Bay State in the Senate from 2010 to 2013. He won a special election to fill the seat previously held by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, a Democrat.
Brown lost that seat to Democrat Elizabeth Warren, and in 2014, he lost a Senate race in New Hampshire to Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
Brown faced no opposition during his confirmation hearing last week.

NYPD, More Sponsors Drop Out of Puerto Rican Day Parade for Honoring Terrorist Freed by Obama
by ADAM SHAW
NEW YORK CITY – The annual National Puerto Rican Day Parade has fallen into turmoil as sponsors and fire and police representatives drop their sponsorship over the parade committee’s decision to use the event to honor Oscar López Rivera – a convicted terrorist whose sentence President Barack Obama commuted, and who was released this month.
The New York Yankees, Coca-Cola, JetBlue, and AT&T all pulled out of the June 11 parade this week in the wake of the parade committee’s decision to award López Rivera, an activist who enabled acts of terrorism in the name of Puerto Rican independence, the title of “national freedom hero.” Goya pulled out of the parade last week, yanking $200,000 of patronage, according to local lawmakers.
In addition to sponsors, representatives of the city’s fire and police departments have also rescinded their support. The New York Police Department confirmed to Breitbart News that Commissioner James P. O’Neill will not attend the event over the decision to honor López Rivera, while the NYPD and FDNY’s Hispanic societies have both withdrawn from the parade. The union representing New York’s firefighters also withdrew its support.
The controversy centers around López Rivera’s role as a key member of the radical Marxist Armed Forces of National Liberation (FALN), which conducted more than 100 bombings in the United States in the seventies and eighties, killing five people, injuring dozens, and causing millions of dollars worth of damage.
López Rivera was convicted on charges of transporting guns and bombs and was released this month after serving 35 years. Obama commuted his sentence in January. When he was released, López Rivera denied being a terrorist and thanked the governments of Venezuela and Cuba for their support, while reiterating the right for “colonized people” to use force.
“Let me say this: We are a colonized people, and according to international law, that says all colonized people have a right to struggle for its independence using all methods within reach, including force,” López Rivera said, according to the New York Times. “That is a right.”
In a statement this month, the parade organizers stood by their decision to honor López Rivera, whom they conceded was “a controversial figure” who does not represent all Puerto Ricans.
“Some people call him a terrorist while others think of him as a freedom fighter, as was the case with Nelson Mandela,” the statement said.
The organizers said the intention was to honor those who worked to have his sentence commuted and to raise “awareness about Oscar López Rivera’s story, the grave colonial situation in Puerto Rico and the identity questions that continue to arise, even today.”
“Nevertheless, Oscar’s participation is not an endorsement of the history that led to his arrest, nor any form of violence. But rather a recognition of a man and a nation’s struggle for sovereignty,” the statement said.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio says he still intends to march in the parade.
“The parade committee made a choice this year on someone to honor,” de Blasio said, according to the Times. “That does not change the basic nature of the parade. Whether you agree with that choice or not, it’s still the Puerto Rican parade and my point is, I will be there to honor the Puerto Rican people. I intend on marching. It’s as simple as that.”

Five takeaways from the Montana special election
BY LISA HAGEN AND BEN KAMISAR
Republicans across the country breathed a sigh of relief late Thursday night as Montana Republican Greg Gianforte won a special election for the state’s sole House seat.
The Montana special election earned its high profile early thanks to polls that showed Democrat Rob Quist gaining on Gianforte in a deep-red state. Gianforte’s surprising physical attack on a report earned him an assault charge and also brought more national attention.
With those heightened stakes, Democrats again failed to score a special election victory, though the competitive race suggested that Democrats’ enthusiasm in the era of President Trump is real.
Here are five takeaways from the House special election:
Gianforte’s attack on a reporter made little difference
While most candidates spend the night before an election reviewing election strategy and energizing supporters, Gianforte spent the final hours of the special election in a different way: by physically attacking a reporter from The Guardian who had asked him questions, then facing prosecution for his violence.
Despite his assault charge and denunciations from fellow Republicans, Gianforte didn’t lose at the ballot box.
The fallout from the attack may have been reduced by the overwhelming amount of early votes cast before Gianforte’s attack on Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs. More than 260,000 Montanans voted early, with their votes amounting to almost 70 percent of the total votes cast ahead of the controversy.
And in interviews with reporters, few Election Day voters said Gianforte’s violent response had changed their minds.
Despite the win, Gianforte’s “body slam” attack on Jacobs, which he apologized for in his Thursday victory speech, puts him and Republican lawmakers in an awkward position.
The congressman-to-be still faces an assault charge — he’s slated to appear in court before June 7 and faces either a fine of up to $500 or, in the most drastic case, up to six months in jail.
Gianforte’s association with the Republican brand won’t help a party that’s already facing blowback for backing an unpopular healthcare plan and a president with record-low approval ratings. Top Republicans walked a fine line between backing Gianforte and not endorsing his violence Thursday, a line they’ll have to continue to straddle now that he’s a representative-elect.
Dems need stronger candidates to take back House
Gianforte wasn’t seen as a perfect candidate even before he attacked a reporter, but Quist had his own problems.
The Montana Democrat’s past history of unpaid debts and property taxes was a prime target for Republicans, who blanketed the airwaves with attacks on his financial troubles. This became a main storyline for the race, with a super PAC allied with the House Republican leadership attacking Quist on his financial issues immediately after his March nomination.
Looking to 2018, Democrats will need to recruit stronger candidates to flip 24 seats and retake the House majority.
The party already has a huge crop of candidates who have announced or are seriously considering campaigns, many of whom have backgrounds in the military or business. Those political newcomers could be a boon for Democrats since they won’t have a history of controversial votes to defend.
To retake the House, Democrats will likely have to back candidates in red and swing districts whose politics stand in opposition to the party on issues like gun control and abortion rights. But that could set off another division with party activists, who are leery of party leaders compromising on what they see as core issues.
House Democrats will need to tailor the candidates to the demographics of the district, striking a balance to make sure their contenders have wide appeal that reaches independents and even some disaffected Republicans while also not alienating the Democratic grassroots.
The Trump brand still works in red districts
Purple-state Republicans are openly worrying about how much Trump will deflate their support at the polls, especially as Democrats turn attacks on Trump into a part of their midterm strategy.
But in red states, associating with Trump is still a boon.
The president remains popular in states he overwhelmingly won in 2016 despite low national approval numbers. Gianforte’s success in Montana further proves that Trump can be part of the House GOP’s playbook.
The White House’s brand played a huge part of Gianforte’s bid, with the candidate appearing on the stump with Donald Trump Jr. and Vice President Pence. Both Pence and President Trump recorded robocalls on Gianforte’s behalf in the final week.
Sanders support can't guarantee a win
Trump’s support helped to close the deal for Gianforte, notching him a political victory over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
Sanders is one of the most sought-after faces among populist Democrats, with his support seen as a boon for any potential candidate because of his popularity with the party’s base and his fundraising chops. Sanders’s campaign swing through major Montana cities was seen as a huge get for Quist.
But Thursday night shows that Sanders is not a silver bullet for Democrats — they’ll need more than the Sanders brand to win back working-class whites in Western and Midwestern states.
And while Democrats hoped that aligning with Sanders could give candidates distance from the party establishment in states that don’t typically elect Democrats, Republicans aren’t respecting that distinction.
“Montanans said, ‘Bernie Sanders and [House Minority Leader] Nancy Pelosi [D-Calif.] can’t call the shots here in Montana,’ ” Gianforte declared during his victory speech.
“Montanans said ‘We’re gonna drain the swamp.’ ”
Democrats can't count on the Republican healthcare bill to win races
Democrats got an early chance to test whether the House GOP’s health care bill is politically damaging for Republicans.
Gianforte was scrutinized for publicly distancing himself from the bill after it narrowly passed the House, only for the candidate to tout the bill on a call to Washington lobbyists that leaked to The New York Times.
Gianforte’s campaign later claimed that Gianforte was happy to see the ObamaCare repeal process begin and said he was waiting on the new score from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
Democrats sought to make this a last-minute campaign issue. In fact, Gianforte’s assault on Jacobs was precipitated by a question about a new CBO score of the bill.
The repeal bill could still be a defining issue in 2018. But Democrats might need to alter their messaging of how repealing ObamaCare will impact voters in states where the Democratic plan is fiercely unpopular.

NY library presents ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ to kids
Even though almost any child loves to read from a world of books when at the library, parents are bringing their small children to public libraries in New York to hear drag queens read the latest children’s books on worldly sexuality to their kids.
Here is what young children and their parents are hearing at a local library in Brooklyn, New York, courtesy of a drag queen literature presenter known as “Little Miss Hot Mess.”
“The hips on the drag queen go swish, swish, swish; swish, swish, swish; swish, swish, swish,” the gender-confused man recently sang to children during “Drag Queen Story Hour.” “The hips on the drag queen go swish, swish, swish…”
After setting aside his singing voice, the drag queen goes into storyteller mode.
“Who is ready for a story?” he asked children gathered around at the library. “This one is called Worm Loves Worm: We Can Both Be Grooms.
After the reading, it is apparent that the kids seem to enjoy it – and so do the parents.
One progressive parent in attendance had nothing but kudos for the drag queen after he influenced the children with his pro-LGBT presentation.
“It was great – so much energy!” the New Yorker exclaimed before asking if the feeling was mutual. “Did you like it? Yeah. Yeah?”
Another parent was all for bring children up with alternative lifestyle influences – despite the proven detrimental effects.
“That’s what I’m looking for in all of our outings, [which] is to present different ways of being in the world and make that fun and available to my kid,” the far-Left parent shared.
Family psychologist John Rosemond, author of Grandma Was Right After All: Practical Parenting Wisdom from the Good Old Days, divulged that there is more to the story hour than meets the eye.
“What’s going on here is indoctrination … what’s going on here is propaganda … what’s going on here is the deliberate attempt by elements of the progressive, secular Left in America to capture the minds of children at a very early age — and turn them into progressives,” Rosemond argued.
Dr. Michelle Cretella of the American College of Pediatricians maintains that a couple of library play-dates is not going to turn any of these little ones into drag queens, but she warns that the steady diet of secular parenting in the guise of raising loving and compassionate children can be very harmful.
“There is nothing loving or compassionate about lying to a child – about a psychological condition that is life threatening,” Cretella stressed.
One national study found that 40 percent of transgender adults reported having made at least one suicide attempt.

Report: Gunmen Massacre Coptic Christians in Egypt, Killing at Least 28
CAIRO (AP) — Masked militants riding in three SUVs opened fire Friday on a bus packed with Coptic Christians, including many children, south of the Egyptian capital, killing at least 28 and wounding 25, the Interior Ministry said.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, the fourth to target Christians since December, but it bore the hallmarks of the Islamic State group.
Islamic militants have for years been waging an insurgency mostly centered in the restive northern part of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, although a growing number of attacks have recently also taken place on the mainland.
The assault happened while the bus was traveling on a side road in the desert leading to the remote monastery of Saint Samuel the Confessor in Maghagha, in Minya governorate, about 220 kilometers (140 miles) south of Cairo.
Security officials quoted witnesses as saying they saw between eight and 10 attackers, dressed in military uniforms and wearing masks. The victims were en route from the nearby province of Beni Suef to visit the monastery.
Khaled Mogahed, the Health Ministry spokesman, said the death toll stood at 26 but feared it could rise further. According to Copts United news portal, only three children survived the attack. It was not immediately known if most or all of the victims were children.
Arab TV stations showed images of a badly damaged bus along a roadside, many of its windows shattered. Ambulances were parked around it as bodies lay on the ground, covered with black plastic sheets.
President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi called for a meeting with top aides to discuss the attack.
In April, twin suicide bombings struck two churches north of Cairo on Palm Sunday, and in December, a suicide bombing targeted a Cairo church. The attacks left at least 75 dead and scores wounded. IS claimed responsibility and vowed more attacks.
Late last month, Pope Francis visited Egypt, in part to show his support for Christians in this Muslim majority Arab nation who have been increasingly targeted by Islamic militants. During the trip, Francis paid tribute to the victims of the December bombing at Cairo’s St. Peter’s church, located in close proximity to Cairo’s St. Mark’s cathedral, the seat of the Coptic Orthodox Church.
Following the pope’s visit, IS vowed to escalate attacks against Christians, urging Muslims to steer clear of Christian gatherings and Western embassies, saying they are targets for the group’s followers.
Egypt’s Copts, the Middle East’s largest Christian community, have repeatedly complained of discrimination, as well as outright attacks, at the hands of the country’s majority Muslim population. They account for about 10 percent of Egypt’s 93 million people.
They rallied el-Sissi, a general-turned-president, when he in 2013 ousted his Islamist predecessor Mohammed Morsi, who hails from the Muslim Brotherhood group. Attacks on Christian homes, businesses and churches subsequently surged, especially in the country’s south, the heartland of Egypt’s Christians.
White House MOLES Identified, What Should Trump Do With Them?
President Trump is tightening the ship and cracking down on the numerous spies embedded in the White House.
Deep state agent and Deputy National Security Advisor Dina Habib Powell has been identified by conservative journalist Mike Cernovich as one of the insiders betraying President Trump and leaking to the mainstream media (via Got News).
Mike Cernovich caught Dina Powell speaking to liberal New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.
Dina Powell may have considerable experience working for the Republicans, but she is a leftist at heart. The Egyptian-born immigrant first entered politics after landing a fluke internship with a Republican senator from Texas.
Dina hopped from position to position working for Dick Armey, and eventually was employed by the first George W. Bush presidential campaign. Due to her Egyptian background, Powell rose to become a sort of ambassador to Arabs around the world while working under Condoleezza Rice.
In 2007, Dina left government and was offered a job at Goldman Sachs. She remained at Goldman Sachs until she received an out of the blue phone call from Ivanka Trump asking for advice after the 2016 presidential election.
Powell quickly became Ivanka’s go-to advisor. Ivanka was looking for a female role model with experience, and Dina seemed to fit the bill. Ivanka could never have known that Dina would immediately betray her father.
Dina Powell is an outspoken member of Vital Voices, a nonprofit women’s organization that was originally founded by Hillary Clinton in 1997. The organization is heavily funded by the Clinton Global Initiative, creating a direct trail between the Democrats and Powell (via The Angry Patriot).
Additionally, the New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman has a close relationship with the Democrat party. Haberman was identified in the John Podesta email leak as a reporter who could be trusted to “tee up” stories favorable to the Clinton campaign. Haberman was working for leftist politicos during the election, and was rewarded for her hard work with a position at the “esteemed” New York Times.
Mike Cernovich discovered Powell speaking to Haberman. This is highly suspect, as the Trump administration is attempting to crack down on unwanted leaks. Powell was in the room when President Trump met with the Russian ambassador, and she is probably the source of the fictitious claim that President Trump leaked classified information to Russia.
Leaking classified information is a felony offense and carries a penalty of up to 10 years behind bars. President Trump would be wise to throw the book at this undercover liberal to make an example for future moles.

New Study Finds Wimpy Guys Are More Likely To Be Socialists
Brittany M.Hughes
It's now been scientifically proven that the wimpier the guy, the more likely he is to be a socialist. No kidding.
According to a new study, physically weaker men are more prone to support socialism, a trend psychologists say may be because they feel they can’t compete against stronger men and are therefore consider inequality more threatening.
According to the Times, U.K., Brunel University ran a study on 171 men, measuring everything from their strength, height, weight and even bicep circumference. What the university found was that the physically inferior men tended to be the ones who said they supported the redistribution of wealth.
The physically stronger men, on the other hand, were a lot more prone to backing capitalism, and said they supported the idea of naturally dominant social groups.
“This is about our Stone Age brains, in a modern society,” explained the university’s own Michael Price. “Our minds evolved in environments where strength was a big determinant of success. If you find yourself in a body not threatened by other males, if you feel you can win competitions for status, then maybe you start thinking inequality is pretty good.”
“Of course this isn’t rational in modern environments, where your ability to win might have more to do with where you went to university,” he added. “Lots of guys who are phenomenally successful in modern societies would probably be nowhere near as successful in hunter gatherer societies.”
Still, Price says, it’s pretty amazing to see how natural dominant instinct plays out in today’s society, where weaker guys appear to find a lot more value in others being forced to share the wealth.

GOP Rep Drops Bombshell Seth Rich Claim in Local Paper… CNN Freaks
BY BEN MARQUIS
Despite a concerted effort on the part of Democrats — both in government and the media — a number of Americans remain unconvinced as to the “official” story regarding the alleged hacking of the Democrat National Committee’s emails by Russian government-sponsored hackers, with some suspecting the “hack” was actually an insider leak by murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich.
According to RealClearPolitics, Republican Texas Rep. Blake Farenthold is one of those unconvinced Americans, and he just called for a full-on federal investigation of the matter during an appearance on CNN.
During that appearance, Farenthold pointed out that no federal or local law enforcement agencies ever actually inspected the purportedly hacked server for themselves, but instead relied upon an outside group contracted by the DNC to inform them of what had happened.
“My fear is our constant focusing on the Russians is deflecting away from some other things that we need to be investigating,” Farenthold told CNN.

“My fear is our constant focusing on the Russians is deflecting away from some other things that we need to be investigating,” Farenthold told CNN.
“There’s still some question as to whether the intrusion of the DNC server was an insider job or whether or not it was the Russians.”
“What evidence — I’m sorry. I’m sorry. The insider job, what are you referring to here? Because I hope it’s not this information that Fox News just refused to be reporting,” anchor John Berman pushed back testily, to which Farenthold replied, “Again, there’s stuff circulating on the internet.”
What D.C. police say happened the day Seth Rich was killed
“What’s circulating on the internet that you think is worthy of a congressional investigation?” Berman pressed. “Because the D.C. police are investigating this, and so far they haven’t said there’s any ‘there’ there.”
“Yet the D.C. police nor no federal investigator has ever had a look at the DNC computer,” Farenthold fired back. “We’re relying only on the report that someone that the DNC contracted to examine their computer rather than having federal officials. To me, we need to let the feds look at it.”
Hilariously, and without a hint of irony, co-host Poppy Harlow asked the congressman if he thought it was “responsible” as a representative to be discussing unproven things that are “swirling on the internet,” apparently oblivious to the mountain of baseless allegations against President Donald Trump also “swirling on the internet” that Democrats in Congress — as well as her own network — routinely speak about as if they were proven facts.
In a separate interview with the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, Farenthold reiterated his belief that the alleged Russian hacking of the DNC as well as the suspicious death of DNC staffer Rich should be investigated in the same manner as the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election, the paper reported.
“That should be a part of the ongoing investigation into alleged Russian interference in the election, because that’s an alternative theory that deserves being looked at,” Farenthold said.
Noted internet hacker Kim Dotcom recently put out a statement claiming that he knew firsthand that Seth Rich was involved in the leaking of DNC documents, claiming that Rich had become disgusted with the DNC.
Kim further stated that he would be willing to testify as much and more to federal authorities under certain conditions, such as a guarantee of safe passage by newly minted Special Counsel Robert Mueller to the U.S. from his home in New Zealand.
Fox News host Sean Hannity has also been pressing the Seth Rich story, which has earned him a second scoop of spite from leftists as they seek to silence him by pressuring his advertisers to pull out of his programs.
When leftists in the media get exceptionally worked up over trying to advance a narrative or debunk a particular story — especially one unflattering or incriminating to Democrats — it often means there is some fire hidden behind all of the smoke.
There is a lot of smoke emanating from the Seth Rich/DNC/WikiLeaks story, and Democrats and the media — but I repeat myself — are acting awfully anxious about it. Perhaps it is time for a full federal investigation of the matter, as Rep. Farenthold called for.
“What evidence — I’m sorry. I’m sorry. The insider job, what are you referring to here? Because I hope it’s not this information that Fox News just refused to be reporting,” anchor John Berman pushed back testily, to which Farenthold replied, “Again, there’s stuff circulating on the internet.”
What D.C. police say happened the day Seth Rich was killed
“What’s circulating on the internet that you think is worthy of a congressional investigation?” Berman pressed. “Because the D.C. police are investigating this, and so far they haven’t said there’s any ‘there’ there.”
“Yet the D.C. police nor no federal investigator has ever had a look at the DNC computer,” Farenthold fired back. “We’re relying only on the report that someone that the DNC contracted to examine their computer rather than having federal officials. To me, we need to let the feds look at it.”
Hilariously, and without a hint of irony, co-host Poppy Harlow asked the congressman if he thought it was “responsible” as a representative to be discussing unproven things that are “swirling on the internet,” apparently oblivious to the mountain of baseless allegations against President Donald Trump also “swirling on the internet” that Democrats in Congress — as well as her own network — routinely speak about as if they were proven facts.
In a separate interview with the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, Farenthold reiterated his belief that the alleged Russian hacking of the DNC as well as the suspicious death of DNC staffer Rich should be investigated in the same manner as the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election, the paper reported.
“That should be a part of the ongoing investigation into alleged Russian interference in the election, because that’s an alternative theory that deserves being looked at,” Farenthold said.
Noted internet hacker Kim Dotcom recently put out a statement claiming that he knew firsthand that Seth Rich was involved in the leaking of DNC documents, claiming that Rich had become disgusted with the DNC.
Kim further stated that he would be willing to testify as much and more to federal authorities under certain conditions, such as a guarantee of safe passage by newly minted Special Counsel Robert Mueller to the U.S. from his home in New Zealand.

Ivanka Trump to Meet Victims of Human Trafficking While in Rome
by PENNY STARR
First Daughter Ivanka Trump will be meeting with victims of human trafficking in Rome as part of President Donald Trump’s international trip to Europe and the Middle East.
The meeting was arranged with the Community of Sant’Egidio, a “new mission” in the Roman Catholic Church to combat human trafficking, according to the National Catholic Register, which notes that the U.S. embassy in Rome has been working with the Church on this issue.
Sant’Egido was founded in 1968 by Italian layman Andrea Richard, a historian and former minister in the Italian government to offer services to the poor, build conflict resolution, and to encourage ecumenical and inter-faith dialogue. Human trafficking is also part of its mission, according to the Catholic news site, cruxnow.com.
“The community is based in the Roman neighborhood of Trastevere and is named for the church there in which it held its initial meetings, which is called ‘St. Giles’ in English,” cruxnnow.com reported.
In addition to meeting with victims, Ivanka Trump is expected to discuss ways the United States and the Church can collaborate on this issue.
“Sant’ Egidio is a favorite of Pope Francis, who has repeatedly praised the group,” cruxnow.com reported. “At one of his first Angelus addresses on Sunday from the window of the papal apartment, Francis spotted a Sant’ Egidio banner in the crowd and said, ‘Those people from Sant’ Egidio are great!’”
But tensions between the Church and the ministry have existed, according to cruxnow.com.
Rep. Francis Rooney (R-FL) served as the U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See during George W. Bush’s second term. Rooney said that when he organized a meeting for Bush with Sant’ Egidio in 2007, he ran into some pushback from the Vatican.
“There were some members of the Holy See’s foreign policy establishment that feel a rivalry with Sant’ Egidio and didn’t like it,” Rooney said in a recent interview for “The Crux of the Matter” radio show. “We had to navigate through that a little bit.”
National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster said this month President Trump’s talking points will include religious freedom, cooperating with the Church on humanitarian issues.
Meanwhile, First Lady Melania Trump will visit the Bambino Gesu children’s hospital near the Vatican, the largest pediatric hospital and research center in Europe.
