The only way to stop drugs, gangs, human trafficking, criminal elements and much else from coming into our Country is with a Wall or Barrier. Drones and all of the rest are wonderful and lots of fun, but it is only a good old fashioned Wall that works!

2…………>DOJ Contingency Plan: Shutdown Case

 

U.S. Department of Justice FY 2019 Contingency Plan – September 11, 2018 –

This FY 2019 Contingency Plan covers the Department of Justice (DOJ or the Department) operations during a lapse in appropriations.

The Antideficiency Act restricts the Federal Government’s ability to obligate funds in advance of appropriations or beyond appropriated levels. During a lapse in appropriations, the Department will only continue the following categories of activities:

1. Those funded by a source that has not lapsed, such as permanent indefinite appropriations and carryover of no-year funds appropriated in a prior year;

2. Those for which there is an express authority to continue during an appropriations lapse;

3. Those for which authority to continue during an appropriations lapse arises by necessary implication;

4. Those related to the discharge of the President’s constitutional duties and powers; and

5. Those related to “emergencies involving the safety of human life or the protection of property,” i.e., where there is a reasonable likelihood that the safety of human life or

the protection of property would be compromised, in some significant degree, by the delay in the performance of the function in question.

The Department of Justice is comprised of about 40 components that have a broad array of national security, law enforcement, and criminal justice system responsibilities. The Department’s mission is to enforce the law and defend the interests of the United States according to the law; to ensure public safety against threats foreign and domestic; to provide federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime; to seek just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior; and to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans.

Therefore, a significant portion of the Department’s mission relates to the safety of human life and the protection of property, and primarily, for this reason, the Department has a high percentage of activities and employees that are excepted from the Antideficiency Act restrictions and can continue during a lapse in appropriations. Other activities and employees are excepted because they are funded with multi-year or no-year appropriations, or because they are Presidential appointees, most of whom are excepted from furlough because they are not covered by the leave system in 5 U.S.C. Chapter 63.1 Note that the contingency plan assumes that, at the time of a shur=tdown, all Components and Subcomponents normally headed by a Presidential Appointee are in fact headed by a Presidential Appointee.

3…………>Sunda Strait Tsunami: Casualties

 

 

“The affected areas are settlements and tourist areas along the coast such as Tanjung Lesung Beach, Sumur, Teluk Lada, Penimbang and Carita. The time of many tourists visit the beach along Pandeglang,” a statement about the death toll from the tsunami which hit Indonesia’s Sunda Strait Saturday night has risen to 222, as Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman of the National Disaster Management Agency said in a statement that the number of injured increased to 843 in the tsunami that was triggered by a volcanic eruption.

Nugroho said that 28 people remain missing, with a total of 556 houses and many buildings damaged after the tsunami — which mostly affected the Pandenglang, South Lampung and Serang areas.

According to the country’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the tsunami could have been triggered by undersea landslides after the eruption of Anak Krakatau.

On Dec. 26, 2004, a magnitude 9.1 earthquake struck the eastern coast of Sumatra, triggering a tsunami that killed around 230,000 people as it tore along the coasts of Sri Lanka, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.

5…………> Bibi vs Tayyip: War Of Words Or Worst

 

“The Jews in Israel kick people laying on the ground. In fact, Jews don’t kick men but also women and children when they fall in the ground. But as Muslims, we will confront these people [the Jews] if they have the courage to deal with us and we’ll teach them a lesson”,Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu earlier took to Twitter to accuse Netanyahu of being responsible for the killing of thousands of Palestinians, as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier engaged in a new war of words, trading mutual accusations.

“‘Teach them a Lesson’: Israel’s Netanyahu, Turkey’s Erdogan Bicker Over Morals,” a billboard with photos of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, placed on the main street by the Ankara.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the row with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who earlier questioned the morality of “Jews in Israel”, and replied that “a man who sends thousands of Turkish soldiers to hold the occupation of northern Cyprus and invades Syria will not preach to us”.

When President Obama ingloriously fired Jim Mattis, I gave him a second chance. Some thought I shouldn’t, I thought I should. Interesting relationship-but I also gave all of the resources that he never really had. Allies are very important-but not when they take advantage of U.S.

If anybody but your favorite President, Donald J. Trump, announced that, after decimating ISIS in Syria, we were going to bring our troops back home (happy & healthy), that person would be the most popular hero in America. With me, hit hard instead by the Fake News Media. Crazy!

Brett McGurk, who I do not know, was appointed by President Obama in 2015. Was supposed to leave in February but he just resigned prior to leaving. Grandstander? The Fake News is making such a big deal about this nothing event!

I won an election, said to be one of the greatest of all time, based on getting out of endless & costly foreign wars & also based on Strong Borders which will keep our Country safe. We fight for the borders of other countries, but we won’t fight for the borders of our own!

2…………>Sunda Strait Tsunami: Indonesia

 

“It was caused by a combination of an undersea landslide resulting from volcanic activity on Anak Krakatau and a tidal wave,” disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said

At least 43 people have been killed on the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra when a tsunami struck areas around the Sunda Strait late on Saturday following an undersea landslide caused by a volcano.

The tsunami was the result of an underwater landslide caused by volcanic activity, with Pandeglang regency, Serang, and South Lampung was inundated by 57 feet wall of raising water, killing at least two and injuring 584 people in the incident.

Up to 430 homes are reported as being heavily damaged, along with nine hotels and 10 vehicles.

3…………>US Government Shutdown: No End In Sight

 

Republican majority leader Mitch “Harry’s Twin” McConnell said the “pause button” had been pushed and that there would be no new Senate vote until he had a signature from the president, and agreement from the Democrats on a budget deal, as a partial US government shutdown is expected to continue through Christmas with no deal in sight to break the impasse over budget spending.

Meanwhile, President Trump will stay on in Washington for the festive period, canceling holidays in Florida, and warning there could be “a long stay” in the talks since the Democrats told him: “You must abandon the wall.”

The shutdown began at midnight on Friday after Democrats resisted Mr. Trump’s demands for $5bn for his Mexico border wall.
