Happy President Day


February 18 is Washington’s Birthday, colloquially known as Presidents Day, an annual federal holiday held on the third Monday of the month celebrating the life of George Washington—the U.S.’s first head of state—as well as past presidents, such as Abraham Lincoln.

“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for ’tis better to be alone than in bad company.”

STATE OF THE UNION 2019

President Donald Trump is scheduled to give his second State of the Union address Tuesday night in the House of Representatives on Capitol Hill.

It’s the first time Trump will address Congress with Democrats controlling the House, and the White House has said in the days leading up to the important annual address that the president will make a bipartisan pitch, outlining a “policy agenda both parties can rally behind.”

“The agenda I will lay out this evening is not a Republican agenda or a Democrat agenda. It is the agenda of the American people,” Trump will say, according to prepared remarks.

“Together, we can break decades of political stalemate. We can bridge old divisions, heal old wounds, build new coalitions, forge new solutions, and unlock the extraordinary promise of America’s future,” he will continue. “The decision is ours to make.”
