From @WSJopinion: Dems should permit Trump a win. If they’re serious about climate change, a permitting-reform deal today would pay dividends the next time they’re in power, write @JaneAFlegal and @ppavnr.

🚨#BREAKING#: A permit to demolish a residential home and build a 3,000 square foot mosque just outside of Charlotte NC, has been DENIED by the County Council. "Arafath Mohammad" did not inform any neighbors of his plan to build a mosque when he purchased the home. Residents stormed the council hearing saying: “Islam is not a religion, it’s a takeover,” said a Lancaster County resident opposed to the project. “We do not want Sharia law in this area,” said another Lancaster County resident. After 2 HOURS of residents voicing their opposition, the council unanimously denied the permit.

.@POTUS: "The United States will no longer permit threats to America to gain a foothold anywhere in the Western Hemisphere — and if necessary, we will use our unmatched military might to secure the vital national interests of the United States."
