1…………> Remember A Hero: Airman John Chapman

HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. (AFNS) — The White House announced July 27, 2018, that Air Force Tech. Sgt. John Chapman will be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor Aug. 22, for his extraordinary heroism during the Battle of Takur Ghar, Afghanistan, in March 2002.

According to the Medal of Honor nomination, Chapman distinguished himself on the battlefield through “conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity,” sacrificing his life to preserve those of his teammates. 





Following Combat Control School, Chapman served with the 1721st Combat Control Squadron at Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina, where he met his wife, Valerie, in 1992. They had two daughters, who were the center of Chapman’s world even when he was away from home – which was common in the combat control career field. 

“He would come home from a long trip and immediately have on his father hat – feeding, bathing, reading and getting his girls ready for bed,” said Chief Master Sgt. Michael West, who served with Chapman through Combat Control School, a three-year tour in Okinawa, Japan, and at Pope AFB. “They were his life, and he was proud of them…to the Air Force he was a great hero…what I saw was a great father.”

 

During the initial insertion onto Afghanistan’s Takur Ghar mountaintop on March 4, the MH-47 “Chinook” helicopter carrying Chapman and the joint special operations reconnaissance team was ambushed. He survived a violent engagement with multiple enemy fighters, for over an hour through the arrival of the quick reaction force, before paying the ultimate sacrifice. In the performance of these remarkably heroic actions, Chapman was applauded for saving the lives of his teammates.

3…………> Shut Down The Government: Trump

President Trump accused migrant parents who cross the U.S.-Mexico border with their sons and daughters of using these children to further “their sinister purposes,” defending his administration’s policy of separating children from their parents at the border. He said there should be consequences whenever someone enters the United States and claimed that our country has the “dumbest” and “worst” immigration laws in the world, encouraging the American people to vote for Republican candidates in the upcoming midterms so that Congress can amend these laws.

In addition, Mr.Trump threatened to shut-down the US government if Congress does not allocate $25 billion dollars for the construction of the border wall between US and Mexico.

4…………> Enemy Of The People: Trump

 

The publisher of the “failing” New York Times has urged President Donald Trump not to continue labeling reporters “enemies of the people,” saying it could “lead to violence” against the media.

Mr. Sulzberger said he had accepted the meeting with Mr. Trump to raise concerns about the president’s “deeply troubling anti-press rhetoric.”

Had a terrific and exciting meeting at the White House with A.G. Sulzberger, Publisher of the New York Times. Spent much time talking about the vast amounts of Fake News being put out by the media & how that Fake News has morphed into a phrase, “Enemy of the People.” Sad!

1…………> “Wine & Rosses”: Trump’s Tax Cuts

6 Months After President Trump’s Tax Cuts, the Real Celebration Is for America’s Workers 

President Donald J. Trump, speaking in Blue Ash, Ohio 

 
 
Your paychecks are going way up. Your taxes are going way down. And right now, for the first time in a long time—and you’ve seen it—factories are coming back. 

Six months ago today, President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law—the first major overhaul of the U.S. tax code since Ronald Reagan’s presidency.

The law made three important changes to help workers and small businesses. First, it cut how much money the government takes out of Americans’ paychecks. It nearly doubled the standard deduction, doubled the child tax credit, protected tax savings for college and retirement, and lower rates across the board. 

Second, it put American employers on a level playing field with foreign competitors. The U.S. business tax rate went from being the highest in the developed world to falling below the average for advanced economies. 

Third, the law eliminated dozens of special interest tax breaks and loopholes, raising $4 trillion in revenue to help offset tax cuts by closing the door on dozens of corporate accounting tricks. 

This boost in paychecks in part explains the renewed sense of optimism in America’s heartland, part of our country that had taken the brunt of 21st-century economic pains. The President heard these stories firsthand when he visited White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, in April: 

Not a lot of people know it, but for the average West Virginian, two kids, it’s $1,966 more in their pocket . . . The average mortgage in West Virginia is $600. You divide 600 into 1,900, and you find out that, thanks to President Trump, President Trump paid the mortgage payment for three months of the average West Virginian. 

In addition to relief for working families, tax reform is essential to restoring America’s economic dominance. The results can be seen in our Nation’s business environment, as American companies start investing once again: 

When profits go up, capital investment goes up, and wages follow. That’s the reason we estimated, based on what has happened around the world, that households will get an average $4,000 wage increase from corporate tax reform.

2…………> Support Police: Trump 

President Donald J. Trump Stands with the Victims of Illegal Alien Crime 

It’s time to support our police, to protect our families, and to save American lives. 

President Donald J. Trump 

SUPPORTING ANGEL FAMILIES: President Donald J. Trump is hearing firsthand from the American families who have lost loved ones to illegal alien crime. 

President Donald J. Trump is meeting with “Angel families,” who have lost loved ones to illegal alien crime. 

The Trump Administration created the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office in order to support the victims and families affected by illegal alien crime. 

 
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched the VOICE Office in April 2017, following an Executive Order by the President calling for its creation. 

The VOICE Office operates a hotline to connect victims with social services and, when possible, assist them in obtaining immigration information regarding the offender. 

The VOICE Office has released a new report that includes case studies explaining how they were able to assist victims who contacted them. 

A 2011 Government Accountability Office report found nearly 3 million offences tied to criminal aliens, including: 

o More than 25,000 homicide offences. 

o More than 42,000 robbery offences. 

o Nearly 70,000 sex crime offences. 

o Nearly 15,000 kidnapping offences. 

· In Texas alone, more than 250,000 criminal aliens have been arrested and charged with over 600,000 criminal offences within the last seven years. 

· In the fiscal year 2017, more than 8,000 criminal illegal aliens in police custody were released back into our communities as a result of sanctuary policies.

3…………> Efficient, Responsive Government: Trump 

President Donald J. Trump Is Reforming the Federal Government, Making it More Efficient, Effective, and Accountable.

Billions and billions of dollars are being wasted on activities that are not delivering results for hardworking American taxpayers. 

REORGANIZING GOVERNMENT: President Donald J. Trump’s reform and reorganization plan will make the Federal Government more responsive and accountable to the American people.

· Last year, President Trump signed an Executive Order directing the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to work on a comprehensive plan to reorganize the Executive Branch. 

· After a year of planning how to make the Federal Government more efficient, effective, and accountable – which included input from stakeholders, agencies, and the public – key reform proposals were developed, such as: 

o Consolidating food safety functions into a single agency, addressing the current fragmented Federal oversight of food safety. 

o Merging the Departments of Education and Labor into a single Cabinet agency to better meet the needs of American workers and students. 

o Consolidating economic assistance resources to a new Bureau of Economic Growth within the Department of Commerce to increase economic growth nationwide. 

· This plan will serve as a cornerstone for a productive, bipartisan dialogue around making the Federal Government work for the 21st century. 

· Instead of a “one size fits all” approach to reform, the Trump Administration’s plan to reorganize the Government proposes solutions tailored to each agency’s mission.

4…………> Brooming Out Obama’s Trash: Sessions 

Attorney General Jeff Sessions Rescinds 24 Guidance Documents 

Attorney General Jeff Sessions today announced that consistent with his November 2017 memorandum prohibiting the Department from making rules without following the procedures required by Congress, he is rescinding 24 guidance documents that were unnecessary, outdated, inconsistent with existing law, or otherwise improper. 

“The American people deserve to have their voices heard and a government that is accountable to them. When issuing regulations, federal agencies must abide by constitutional principles and follow the rules set forth by Congress and the President. In previous administrations, however, agencies often tried to impose new rules on the American people without any public notice or comment period, simply by sending a letter or posting a guidance document on a website. That’s wrong, and it’s not good government. 

“In the Trump administration, we are restoring the rule of law. That’s why in November I banned this practice at the Department and we began rescinding guidance documents that were issued improperly or that were simply inconsistent with current law. 

“Today we are rescinding 24 more and continuing to put an end to unnecessary or improper rulemaking.” 

In February 2017, President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 13777, which calls for agencies to establish Regulatory Reform Task Forces, chaired by a Regulatory Reform Officer, to identify existing regulations for potential repeal, replacement, or modification. The Department of Justice Task Force is chaired by Acting Associate Attorney General Jesse Panuccio.

5…………> NSA Snooping: Trump 

President Donald Trump on Tuesday slammed as a “disgrace” the National Security Agency (NSA) violation of Americans’ privacy through an unauthorized collection of phone data. 


“Wow! The NSA has deleted 685 million phone calls and text messages. Privacy violations? They blame technical irregularities,” Trump said in a tweet. “Such a disgrace. The Witch Hunt continues!” 

The NSA announced last month that it will delete improperly collected phone calls and text message data that have been collected since 2015. (Anadolu Agency)

2…………> AG Deputy Rosenstein: US House 

Chairman Goodlatte, Ranking Member Nadler, and members of the Committee, I always welcome the opportunity to appear before this distinguished committee, but this is not a happy occasion.

Federal Bureau of Investigation employees deviated from important principles in 2016 and 2017. Everyone knew about some of the departures when they occurred – such as discussing criminal investigations and encroaching on prosecutorial decisions. We learned about others through an internal investigation – such as leaking to the news media and exhibiting political bias.

We need to correct errors, hold wrongdoers accountable, and deter future violations. Director Wray will describe what the FBI is doing to accomplish those goals. At the Department of Justice, our mandatory annual training will include lessons from the Inspector General’s report, and we are considering other recommendations.

We already revised the Department’s confidentiality policies to emphasize that “non-public, sensitive information obtained in connection with [our] work is protected from disclosure.” We intend to enforce that principle for our employees, and we need to demonstrate respect for it ourselves by protecting sensitive information entrusted to the FBI.

3…………> Trump, Putin Lunch: July 16th 

 

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet on July 16 in Helsinki, according to the Kremlin and the White House. 

The meeting will be the first official summit between the two leaders that will be closely watched by nervous US allies in Europe and critics of Russia in America. 

The two countries announced the details simultaneously a day after striking a deal on holding the meeting following a visit to Moscow on Wednesday by US national security adviser John Bolton. 

“The two leaders will discuss relations between the United States and Russia and a range of national security issues,” the White House said in a statement.

5…………> Life On Enceladus: Organics Detected 

An international spacecraft has discovered complex organic molecules originating from an icy moon orbiting the planet of Saturn, detected by the Cassini spacecraft after they were ejected in ice grains through cracks in Enceladus’ icy shell.

“It is the first-ever detection of complex organics coming from an extraterrestrial water world,” they said.

Cassini previously flew near to Enceladus in 2005 and discovered lighter organic molecules. Larger molecules like those recently detected are created by chemical processes that could support life, according to the European Space Agency (ESA).
