Trump signs off on 5-year lobbying ban, two national security actions


2017-01-28_1944.png

President Trump signed an executive order Saturday afternoon to institute a five-year ban on lobbying for former administration officials.

"So this is a five year lobbying ban, and this is all of the people — most of the people standing behind me will not be able to go to work," Trump said as he signed the order in the Oval Office. "It's a two year ban now and it's got full of loopholes and this is a five year ban. So you have one last chance to get out. Good, I had a feeling you were going to say that."

Trump, surrounded by press and administration officials, also signed two presidential memorandums to restructure the National Security Council and Homeland Security Council, and create a plan to defeat the Islamic State.

"We're going to be very successful," Trump said of the ISIS plan.

Trump immigration ban applies to dual citizenship

Trump immigration ban applies to dual citizenship

2017-01-28_1944.png

President Trump's restriction on travel from terror-stricken countries applies to individuals with dual nationality, according to the State Department.

"Travelers who have nationality or dual nationality of one of these countries will not be permitted for 90 days to enter the United States or be issued an immigrant or nonimmigrant visa," a State Department official said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. "Those nationals or dual nationals holding valid immigrant or nonimmigrant visas will not be permitted to enter the United States during this period. Visa interviews will generally not be scheduled for nationals of these countries during this period."

Individuals who match that description could still receive visas on a case-by-case basis, however. Those details emerged as the implementation of the order — which restricts travel from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Sudan, Syria, Somalia, and Yemen for 90 days — led to the detention of refugees in transit to the United States and sparked a political fight between Trump's team and congressional opponents.

The order applies to green card holders and individuals who have already been approved to enter the country, leading to confusion as refugees who were in transit to the United States were detained upon arrival on Friday. Hameed Khalid Darweesh, who worked in Iraq as U.S. Army interpreter, dubbed the United States "the land of freedom" and "the greatest nation" after he was released.

Trump Drops Mic on Senators McCain and Graham, Tells Them to Stop Trying to Star

Trump Drops Mic on Senators McCain and Graham, Tells Them to Stop Trying to Start World War 3

In response to Trump’s new immigration ban, Senators McCain and Graham, both of whom are avid haters and **** talkers of President Trump, they issued a joint statement to express their dismay.

Jan 29 2017

STATEMENT BY SENATORS McCAIN & GRAHAM ON EXECUTIVE ORDER ON IMMIGRATION
Washington, D.C. ­– U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the following statement today on the President’s executive order on immigration:

“Our government has a responsibility to defend our borders, but we must do so in a way that makes us safer and upholds all that is decent and exceptional about our nation.

“It is clear from the confusion at our airports across the nation that President Trump’s executive order was not properly vetted. We are particularly concerned by reports that this order went into effect with little to no consultation with the Departments of State, Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security.

“Such a hasty process risks harmful results. We should not stop green-card holders from returning to the country they call home. We should not stop those who have served as interpreters for our military and diplomats from seeking refuge in the country they risked their lives to help. And we should not turn our backs on those refugees who have been shown through extensive vetting to pose no demonstrable threat to our nation, and who have suffered unspeakable horrors, most of them women and children.

Law Professor Jonathan Turley – Supreme Court Will Side With Trump On Travel Ban


jonathan turley trump

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley exhibits a characteristic that the Obama nominees to the Supreme Court do not possess as sitting justices, the ability to be objective and remove his personal feelings from legal deliberations.

He gave his opinion to the extremely liberal and anti-Trump Indian import Fareed Zakaria on CNN, saying he believes federal courts are not likely to overturn President Trump’s immigration travel ban.

Turley first addressed the stay issued by Judge Donnelly, saying, “I don’t think that the stay was necessarily a rebuke of the administration. She essentially froze the action of the parties in this case because she believed there would be irreparable damage unless she did so, so she had a chance to look at the merits.”

Turley said, “The law does favor President Trump in this regard.” I don’t like this order. I think it’s a terrible mistake but that doesn’t go into the legal analysis. The Court has been extremely deferential to presidents on the border. In fact, ‘president’ Obama just last year was telling the court that courts shouldn’t be second guessing the decisions based upon national security or immigration from the president.”

“In 1882 you had the really infamous Chinese exclusion act, which was upheld.” Turley says, “And then you have things like Section 1182 of the federal law that gives sweeping authority to the president to withhold either individual aliens or groups of aliens. All of that works to the advantage of President Trump.”

Let's Pass this around and see what we can do to get term limits in his, Trump'
1/30/2017 3:02:47 PM

Let's Pass this around and see what we can do to get term limits in his, Trump's first 100 days!

Warren Buffett is asking everyone to forward this email to a minimum of 20 people, and to ask each of those to do likewise.
In three days, most people in the United States will have the message. This is an idea that should be passed around.


The BUFFETT Rule

Let's see if these idiots understand what people pressure is all about.

Salary of retired US Presidents .. . . . .. . . . . .. . $180,000 FOR LIFE.

Salary of House/Senate members .. . . . .. . . . $174,000 FOR LIFE. This is stupid

Salary of Speaker of the House .. . . . .. . . . . $223,500 FOR LIFE. This is really stupid

Salary of Majority / Minority Leaders . . .. . . . . $193,400 FOR LIFE. Stupid

Average Salary of a teacher . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. .$40,065

Average Salary of a deployed Soldier . . .. . . .. $38,000

Here’s where the cuts should be made!

Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:

"I could end the deficit in five minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election".

The 26th Amendment ( granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds ) took only three months and eight days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure.

Warren Buffett is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

Congressional Reform Act of 2017

1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman / woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.

2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 3/1/17. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.

Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people, then it will only take three days for most people in the U.S. to receive the message. It's time!

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

If you agree, pass it on.
