Epic – Is Team Trump Baiting Liberal Media and Refugee Protesters By Using Obama’s Own Policy?… | The Last Refuge

Epic – Is Team Trump Baiting Liberal Media and Refugee Protesters By Using Obama’s Own Policy?… | The Last Refuge:
"Why would the text of President Trump’s Executive Order suspending travel visas be readily available on CNN (HERE), New York Times (HERE), Wall Street Journal (HERE),  but not on White House page (HERE)?

I don’t think it’s accidental.  

The limiting Visa program was President Obama’s action, not President Trump.

If you review the actual text of the executive order (copied below in full) what you will immediately notice is the order doesn’t specify ANY countries to be included in the Visa suspension (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen).

President Trump is not suspending visas from countries his team selected, they are simply suspending visa approval from countries President Obama selected.  

Additionally, Trump is suspending ALL visa applications from those countries – nothing to do with Muslim applications.

• In 2013 President Obama suspended refugees from Iraq for six months.  • In 2015 Congress passed, and Obama signed, a law restricting visas from states of concern; • and in 2016 Obama’s DHS, Jeh Johnson, expanded those restrictions.  …. all President Trump is doing is taking the same action as Obama 2013, and applying Visa restrictions to the nation states Obama selected in 2015 and 2016.

...The President Obama  Department of Homeland Security already targeted those seven listed countries for the past several years as nations of concern.

President Trump is carrying out an executive action in support of the US Customs and Border Protection Act of 2015, which relates to “the Visa Waiver Program and Terrorist Travel Protection Act of 2015“.   

President Trump did not select seven countries – the US Congress and Obama’s Department of Homeland Security had singled out these countries.

Nowhere in President Trump’s executive order does he single out any country for VISA suspension.  

Instead what his XO does is say he’s suspending visa approvals from countries already outlined by the Obama administration as representing a specific threat such that they were categorized for extreme visa vetting by:  8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12)..."

The South China Sea Is About To Become A War Zone – American Military News

Op-Ed: The South China Sea Is About To Become A War Zone – American Military News:
"The new Trump administration made clear recently it would prevent the People’s Republic of China from “seizing” international territory vis-à-vis its man-made islands in the South China Sea (SCS).
At a press briefing on January 23rd, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer echoed previous comments made by incoming Secretary of State Rex Tillerson at one of his earlier confirmation hearings, that the United States would defend its interests in the SCS.
At Monday’s press conference, Spicer continued.
“If those islands are, in fact, in international waters and not part of China proper, yeah, we’ll make sure we defend international interests from being taken over by one country,” he said.
Surely Press Secretary Spicer is aware that China, in fact, built those islands in international waters illegally; and surely the administration is aware that a United Nations tribunal ruled against China in July 2016 in a lawsuit over the islands filed by plaintiff nation, the Philippines. 
The incoming Secretary of State too must certainly be aware that Beijing itself has signaled its intention to protect its “sovereignty” over those islands to the point of armed hostilities: most are now equipped with surface-to-air missile batteries and military radar arrays, and they aren’t just for show.
Ergo and in light of Monday’s press conference, both sides must now be aware that 2017 just might be the year that Asia’s Cauldron comes to the boiling point. 
The question is, is the Trump Administration ready to handle it?

Bridgeport State Rep. Christina Ayala arrested on 19 voting fraud charges

Bridgeport State Rep. Christina Ayala arrested on 19 voting fraud charges:

"Ayala, 31, is accused of voting in local and state elections in districts she did not live, the Chief State’s Attorney’s Office said in a press release.

The arrest warrant affidavit also alleges Ayala provided fabricated evidence to state Election Enforcement Commission investigators that showed she lived at an address in a district where she voted while actually living outside the district, according to the release."

ABC Omits from Transcript Trump Shutting Down Muir on March for Life

ABC Omits from Transcript Trump Shutting Down Muir on March for Life:
"On Thursday afternoon, our friends at RedState flagged this peculiar development that ABC News transcript excluded an exchange from the David Muir-President Trump interview where Trump scolded Muir for the media’s lack of coverage of the March for Life versus the Women’s March on Washington. 

With an eagle eye for this detail, RedState’s “Streiff” provided a generous nod to Nicholas Fondacaro’s blog from Wednesday night and concluded it’d be pertinent to check out the full transcript. 

That’s where Streiff ran into trouble:

Guess what? This entire exchange is simply omitted from the ABC transcript.

Is it a clerical oversight? Did they not like seeing powdered and blow-dried empty suit that runs their news operation stuttering away? Did it interfere with their narrative about Trump? Did they, in short, intentionally cut it? I don’t know anything more than that, but the omission seems to make Donald Trump’s point about March for Life coverage in a much stronger way than Trump did. In other words, that they’re so committed to not covering the size of the March they couldn’t even let this point stand on their website."...

The Clinton Foundation Is Dead — But The Case Against Hillary Isn't

The Clinton Foundation Is Dead — But The Case Against Hillary Isn't - Judicial Watch:
"From Investor’s Business Daily:
“While everyone’s been gearing up for President Trump’s inauguration, the Clinton Foundation made a major announcement this week that went by with almost no notice:
For all intents and purposes, it’s closing its doors.
In a tax filing, the Clinton Global Initiative said it’s firing 22 staffers and closing its offices, a result of the gusher of foreign money that kept the foundation afloat suddenly drying up after Hillary Clinton failed to win the presidency.
It proves what we’ve said all along:
The Clinton Foundation was little more than an influence-peddling scheme to enrich the Clintons, and had little if anything to do with “charity,” either overseas or in the U.S.
That sound you heard starting in November was checkbooks being snapped shut in offices around the world by people who had hoped their donations would buy access to the next president of the United States.”
Additionally,
In August we uncovered that long time Hillary aide, Huma Abedin gave special access to top supporters of the Clinton Foundation. 
Below is a tweet which links to our press release."

Democrats have settled on a ‘scorched-earth’ approach to Trump

Democrats have settled on a ‘scorched-earth’ approach to Trump « Hot Air:
If you’ve been reading the news in the past two months word that Democrats intend to go scorched-earth on Donald Trump probably doesn’t come as much of a shock. 
Many of these same Democrats decided not to attend Trump’s inauguration and some have even called him an illegitimate president. 
Other Democrats are already busy promoting “the resistance” to his administration. 
But now, apparently, the kid gloves are really going to come off. 
Politico reports:

What began as a high-minded discussion about how to position the Democratic Party against President Donald Trump appears to be nearing its conclusion. The bulk of the party has settled on a scorched-earth, not-now-not-ever model of opposition…"

U.S. House Passes “No Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Act” in Bipartisan Vote | American Center for Law and Justice

U.S. House Passes “No Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Act” in Bipartisan Vote | American Center for Law and Justice:

"As we’ve explained before, “the Hyde Amendment is named after one of its biggest advocates, the late congressman Henry Hyde. The amendment prohibits federal funding of abortions, and as a rider to the HHS appropriations bill, must be passed each year.”

For the last 40 years, the Hyde Amendment has passed, in various forms, in a bipartisan manner. It prevents your taxpayer money from being used to pay for abortion services, except in the exceedingly rare cases of rape, incest, or the life of the mother. In short, the Hyde Amendment has worked to keep us, the taxpayers, from paying for abortions."

"HMM: 
Youngest in class twice as likely to take ADHD medication. 
“A likely cause of the late birth date effect is that some teachers compare the maturity of their students without due regard to their relative age, resulting in higher rates of diagnosis among younger class members. . . . 
The late birth date effect is not the only factor creating unease about ADHD. 
Multiple studies, including the WA study, have established boys are three to four times more likely to be medicated for ADHD. 
If, as is routinely claimed, ADHD is a neurobiological disorder, a child’s birthdate or gender should have no bearing on their chances of being diagnosed."

Meltdown on the Left: Where to Begin?

Meltdown on the Left: Where to Begin? | Power Line
"It is becoming apparent that Donald Trump’s accession to the presidency is causing a full scale nervous breakdown on the left. 
Where to begin? 
I was getting ready to observe that if the left continues at its current fevered pitch, many leftists will end up literally in padded cells (and I do mean “literally” literally here). 

But John Podhoretz beat me to it over at Commentary:

It cannot go on like this. It’s been five days since the inaugural and the adrenalized, hypercaffeinated, speed-freak affect of the entire chattering class is beginning to seem like we’re living through Bob Woodward’s classic depiction in his book Wired of John Belushi’s final overcharged sleepless days before dying from a cocaine speedball overdose in 1981.

If every word out of Donald Trump’s mouth is greeted with shrieks of horror and rage and anger and despair and hysteria by his opponents, they are going to find it impossible to serve as any kind of effective opposition to him.

Meanwhile, Noemie Emery points out at the Washington Examiner some obvious facts about the wymyn’s march last Saturday that the rest of the media “analysis” can’t be bothered to notice:

An estimated 1 million people in the United States and in cities in countries around the world turned out for the feminist protests against the new president, far too many in strange-looking hats while carrying signs that referenced female anatomy in other than medical terms.

The female population of the United States was listed in 2014 as 162 million. If one subtracts 62 million for children and others it means that 100 million more women chose not to attend the marches, ignored them, or didn’t know they took place. More important than this is the fact that more than two months before American women en-masse had marched to the polls, where white women voted against Hillary Clinton, 53 percent to 47 percent, and the feminist movement did not take this well.

“White women sold out the sisterhood and the world,” said one Slate writer, who blamed this result on “Self-loathing. Hypocrisy. And, of course, a racist view of the world.” And how in the world did this get to be racist? Because the white women had fallen down in their duty to stand with the non-white, the disabled, and those of gender-fluidity in the battle against the white male establishment that had been oppressing them all.

All of this shrieking by the left is having a predictable effect: his public approval ratings are rising—up to 57 percent in one new poll just out. Then there’s this:

Poll: Voters Like Trump’s ‘America First’ Address

By Jake Sherman

Dark. Negative. Divisive. That’s was the immediate narrative about President Donald Trump’s inaugural address.

But many Americans liked it.

Trump got relatively high marks on his Friday address, with 49 percent of those who watched or heard about the speech saying it was excellent or good, and just 39 percent rating it as only fair or poor. Sixty-five percent of those surveyed reacted positively to the “America First” message, the cornerstone of the Trump campaign and governing posture.

I’m starting to think Trump really is a one-person wrecking crew for the left delivered by divine Providence."

Donald Trump's Revolution To Undo Barack Obama's Revolution

Donald Trump's Revolution To Undo Barack Obama's Revolution - Reason.com: 
"When Trump promised that as president — on "day one" — he would begin to dismantle Obamacare, some Republicans, many members of the press and most Democrats laughed at him. They are laughing no longer because the first executive order he signed on Jan. 20 directed those in the federal government who enforce Obamacare to do so expecting that it will soon not exist.

He ordered that regulations already in place be enforced with a softer, more beneficent tone, and he ordered that no penalty, fine, setoff or tax be imposed by the IRS on any person or entity who is not complying with the individual mandate, because by the time taxes are due on April 15, the IRS will be without authority to impose or collect the non-tax tax, as the individual mandate will no longer exist. 
Why take money from people that will soon be returned?
Then he ordered a truly revolutionary act, the likes of which I have never seen in the 45 years I have studied and monitored the government's laws and its administration of them. 
He ordered that when bureaucrats who are administering and enforcing the law have discretion with respect to the time, place, manner, and severity of its enforcement, they should exercise that discretion in favor of individuals and against the government.
This is radical coming from any president in the modern era of government-can-do-no-wrong..."
