2…………> “Yellow Vests” Protesters: Tear-Gassed

.

At least 90 protesters were arrested during the protests in the Belgian capital Brussels at the EU Commission building, as the police tried to disperse the crowd with tear gas and water cannon vehicles in order to prevent them from disrupting the institution.

A large number of far-right and anti-migration protesters, estimated to be around 1,000  gathered at Schuman Square to demonstrate against the UN Migration Pact, signed in an international conference in Morocco earlier this month, calling on Prime Minister Charles Michel to resign as the group also chanted slogans against the government and migration.

3…………> A Call For Truce Ignored: Paris

.

The President of the Islamic Sheikdom of France, Grand Rabbinical Ayatollah Emmanuel Macron called for calm, but this did not stop the rioting as the Belgian police said a man died after he crashed his car into a truck at a protesters’ roadblock on the Franco-Belgian border, the seventh person to die in a wave of anti-government demonstrations against the high cost of living.

French police have fired tear gas across Champs-Elysees Avenue in Paris and protesters have scuffled with police outside the city’s opera house in the fifth straight weekend of protests by the ”yellow vests” movement.

There were clashes at the Paris Opera, where some demonstrators had gathered to voice their grievances, and Paris police said 85 people were detained and of those, 46 people had been arrested, with Saturday seeing mostly peaceful anti-Government protests in the French capital but groups of yellow vests tried to break through police lines.

4…………> Trump’s Big Win: ObamaCare “Illegal”

 

.

A federal judge in Texas ruled that a crucial part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), better known as Obamacare, is unconstitutional, ignoring the argument of twenty states the whole law was invalidated by a change in tax rules last year, with PresidentTrump saying the ruling was great news for America.

Mr. Trump took to Twitter following the judge’s ruling in Texas:

@realDonaldTrump Wow, but not surprisingly, ObamaCare was just ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL by a highly respected judge in Texas.

He also urged incoming Senate leader Chuck “I cried tears for the Muslims” Pelosi and Speaker of the House Nancy “No, Amy is not my daughter” Schumer to “pass a STRONG law that provides GREAT healthcare.”

3…………> US/Israel Friendship: Mr.Xi’s “Monkey Wrench”

 

 

” The US Navy said it might halt operations in Haifa once a Chinese firm takes over the port in 2021, following an agreement with Israel’s national security cabinet”, as retired Admiral Gary Roughead, ex-chief of US naval operations, warned that a “Chinese-run seaport in the bay could force the navy to dock its warships elsewhere. ” 

“The Chinese port operators will be able to monitor US ship movements closely, be aware of maintenance activity and could have access to equipment moving to and from repair sites and interact freely with our crews over protracted periods,” Roughead said during a conference last month at the University of Haifa.

“Our US Navy ships frequently visit Haifa, Israel, for both US-Israel bilateral military activity and port calls,” Commander Kyle Raines told the Post when asked whether China’s coming presence might affect fleet operations in the Mediterranean port.

“For now, there are no changes to our operations in Israel”.

Haifa, the largest port city in Israel, has regularly hosted US-Israeli naval drills and American ships. A senior IDF officer confirmed that the review of the deal was approved by Israel Katz, who was serving as transportation minister at the time and has remained in the position since A representative of the US Sixth Fleet said that the partnership with Israel remains “steadfast.”

2…………> The Border Wall Battle: Trump’s Message

.

Trump Was Right: Transparency a Good Thing in Border Wall Debate with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer:
“When House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York tried to move their Oval Office debate with President Trump over border wall funding behind closed doors, Trump had the right response,” Philip Klein writes. “It’s not bad, Nancy,” the President said. “It’s called transparency.”

First Lady Spreads Anti-Bullying Message at Kids’ Hospital

“Melania Trump spread her anti-bullying message on an annual Christmas season visit to a Washington children’s hospital on Thursday, reading a story about a Christmas ornament named Oliver who is bullied by other ornaments in a family’s collection,” Darlene Superville writes for The Associated Press.

The author of the children’s book sat a few feet away, thanking the First Lady “from the bottom of my heart” for inviting him to join her. “Mrs. Trump launched an initiative earlier this year to teach kindness to children, naming it Be Best,” Superville adds.

4…………> A Busy Holiday Season: White House

.

As Christmas approaches, President Donald J. Trump and the First Family have been hard at work to ensure every American has a fantastic holiday season.

On the policy side, the President has focused on delivering several crucial wins before the calendar turns to 2019:
On Tuesday, he met with Democratic leaders in the Oval Office to make clear border security is non-negotiable when it comes to funding our Government.

Yesterday, he signed an “Opportunity Zones” executive order that will help drive investment into the most underserved communities in America.

This week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) vowed to bring the First Step Act— crucial criminal justice reform that President Trump is backing strongly—to the Senate floor.
The Christmas season is also about supporting our fellow Americans.

The First Lady kicked off the week by joining the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve for its annual Toys for Tots drive in Washington. “As a mother, I believe children are the most precious gift,” she said, donating 100 books for the Toys for Tots Literacy Program—a project that dovetails with the First Lady’s own “Be Best” initiative for children. (See photos from the event.)

Yesterday, the First Lady honored our heroes in uniform—many of whom will be serving our country over the Christmas season. She made stops at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, and the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier. She also flew in a V-22 Osprey military plane, becoming the first First Lady ever to do so.

And today, the First Lady traveled to Children’s National Hospital in Washington. The visit is a unique tradition that’s been followed by every First Lady since Bess Truman more than 60 years ago.

5…………> Lifting The Forgotten Americans: President Trump

.

Opportunity Zones are a vital part of the tax cuts signed into law by President Donald J. Trump last December. Today, they got another huge boost.

“For decades, job growth and investment have been concentrated in a few major metropolitan areas,” the President said after signing an executive order to create the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council. “Some cities have thrived, while others have suffered chronic economic and social hardship. With Opportunity Zones, we are drawing investment into neglected and underserved communities of America.”

The purpose of Opportunity Zones is to lift up communities that have been neglected by Washington and left behind for far too long. The typical family income in these areas is 37 percent below their state’s median level. The average poverty rate is 32 percent—almost double the national average. Nearly 35 million Americans live in these communities. Now, help is on the way.

Here’s how it works: Tax relief is offered in exchange for long-term investments in the low-income communities that need it most. These more impoverished areas begin to see more job creation and lasting growth. This private investment fuels human potential in these communities, whereas government spending programs too often extinguish it.

The upshot: All Americans, regardless of zip code, should have access to the American Dream. With Opportunity Zones, we get closer to that reality.
