FRACKING. Trump may undo Obama fracking rule: “The proposal from the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is due to be published Tuesday in the Federal Register.

The couples' first child is not expected until September.

My Gay Agenda: “What I want above all, is the special right to be left alone, and to be considered half of just one more unextraordinary American couple — just as the two of us were as we sat at the bar watching the ocean and drinking our beers.

You'd think that respecting the privacy and humanity of some of the country's most vulnerable souls would be a common goal.”
