Search for Disaster Funding Has Its Own Perils on Bing

In June, Oklahoma’s Trump-supporting top school official, Ryan Walters, ordered the state’s schools to teach the Bible in class—and this week, his department put in a $3 million proposal to buy 55,000 Bibles for Oklahoma schools. But out of the thousands of versions available for purchase, it seems only two holy books fit the state Department of Education’s strict criteria: one sold by Donald J.

On Wednesday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) agency didn’t have enough funding for the rest of hurricane season.

Bible, endorsed by Trump and known as the Trump Bible. They cost $60 each online, and Trump receives fees for his endorsement. There's always a grift with this guy. Trump, while facing a mountain of legal fees, hawked the Bible during Holy Week, writing, "Let’s Make America Pray Again.

During a bipartisan "meet your candidate" event, an Idaho state senator, Dan Foreman, had a complete meltdown which culminated with him screaming at a Native American Democrat to go back where she came from: When asked if discrimination existed in Idaho, conservative Sen. Dan Foreman said no. In a statement released Wednesday, Democratic candidate for House Seat A and member of the Nez Perce tribe Trish Carter-Goodheart said she pushed back on that idea when it was her turn to speak, pointing to her own experience and the history of white supremacy groups in Northern Idaho. “[J]ust because someone hasn’t personally experienced discrimination, doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
