President and Mrs. Obama built/has a ten foot Wall around their D.C. mansion/compound. I agree, totally necessary for their safety and security. The U.S. needs the same thing, slightly larger version!

2…………>General Kelly Story: The Life Within

 

A former Homeland Security secretary, Mr. Kelly is well versed in the complexities of immigration and border security and his views seemingly contrast with Mr. Trump’s harsh rhetoric on migration, saying now that President Trump backed away from his campaign pledge to build a wall along the US-Mexico border.

“To be honest, it’s not a wall,” Mr. Kelly said.

“But we left a solid concrete wall early on in the administration when we asked people what they needed and where they needed it. The President still says ‘wall’ — oftentimes frankly he’ll say ‘barrier’ or ‘fencing’, now he’s tended toward steel slats,” Mr.Kelly admitted America had an “immigration problem and said the President was now pushing for a steel slat structure, rather than a concrete wall.

The children in question were very sick before they were given over to BorderPatrol, The father of the young girl said it was not their fault, he hadn’t given her water in days, Border Patrol needs the Wall and it will all end, They are working so hard & getting so little credit!

Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally, They can’t, If we had a Wall, they wouldn’t even try!

 

US President Donald Trump has deflected blame for the deaths of two Guatemalan children in US custody and has instead pointed the finger at Democrats, saying the children were “very sick before they were given over to Border Patrol”, and it was the fault of Democrats “and their pathetic immigration policies”.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said the system was overwhelmed, and also called on Congress to act urgently to address the “humanitarian crisis”.

4…………>Syria Will Be A Victory: Sen. Graham

 

A top Republican has said PresidentTrump committed to defeating IslamicState (IS) in Syria, despite his decision to withdraw US troops, Senator Lindsey Graham said as was now reassured of the president’s commitment after meeting him on Sunday.

Mr. Trump’s troop’s withdrawal plan was met with strong criticism from major allies, as well as senior Republicans like MrGraham, but the president and WhiteHouse have yet to comment on any formal plan changes.

On 19 December, MrTrump announced the pullout of some 2,000 troops, asserting that IS had been defeated, critics of the planning dispute this claim, arguing the move could lead to a resurgence of IS which would hurt national security.

US troops have helped rid much of Syria’s north-east of the jihadist group, but pockets of fighters remain, with two people have since resigned since the decision was announced in protest of the policy change, DefenceSecretary Jim Mattis and a top US official in the fight against IS, BrettMcGurk.

Lindsey Graham, who had earlier called the withdrawal decision a “huge Obama-like mistake”, told journalists: “The president assured me he is going to make sure he gets the job done. (BBC)

Have the Democrats finally realized that we desperately need Border Security and a Wall on the Southern Border. Need to stop Drugs, Human Trafficking, Gang Members & Criminals from coming into our Country. Do the Dems realize that most of the people not getting paid are Democrats?

2…………>Rainy, Stormy Christmas; Syria’s Camps

 

Heavy downpour caused severe flooding in rural areas of northern Syria, destroying tents at 11 refugee camps and leaving tens of thousands of people to face the winter without shelter, with an estimated 25,000 refugees searching for shelter at other camps.

No casualties have yet been reported as a result of the flooding, but numerous heads of livestock have reportedly perished, and requests for emergency assistance have been received from the Atme, Qah, Omar and Khirbat al-Jawz refugee camps in the northwestern Latakia province.

Mustafa Yusuf, director of Syria’s White Helmets civil-defense organization, told Anadolu Agency that the organization had received numerous requests for urgent assistance.

“Since yesterday afternoon, our agency has been conducting search-and-rescue operations,” Yusuf said Thursday.

3…………> Santa Trump Undercover: Iraq, Germany Troop Visits

 

 

President Trump accompanied by his wife Melania made his first visit to soldiers stationed in an unstable region, flying into Iraq on Boxing Day in an unannounced trip, after being criticized for not yet visiting overseas troops by his “Fake News” detractors.

The US Government remains partially shut down amid a funding stalemate over a border wall, a week after Mr. Trump stunned his national security advisers by announcing he would withdraw US troops from neighboring Syria where they have been fighting Islamic State (IS) militants.

The President traveled with first lady Melania Trump and their trip was shrouded in secrecy.

Air Force One flew overnight from Washington, landing at an air base west of Baghdad under the cover of darkness on Wednesday evening (local time).

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters aboard Air Force One that Iraq’s Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi accepted an invitation from Mr. Trump to visit the White House.

4…………>We Ain’t No Suckers: Trump

 

President Trump expressed his “eternal gratitude” for the work of US troops in Iraq, on an unannounced Christmas visit to meet service personnel at al-Asad air base west of Baghdad.

He spoke about his recent decision to withdraw US troops from Syria, saying “America shouldn’t be doing the fighting for every nation on earth”.

5…………> Somber Holidays: US Government Shutdown

 

“The anxiety level among federal employees is extremely high and on top of that, there is real anger that they are paying the personal price for someone else’s dysfunction,” US National TreasuryEmployees Union (NTEU) President Tony Reardon said in a statement, with about 80% of federal employees responding to a survey earlier this week admitting that they were “very concerned” about paying their rent and bills this month, and more than 85 percent said they were tightening their belts.

President Trump said the shutdown “could be a long stay,” with White House budget director Mick Mulvaney saying it could drag on to next year, pass the first working day after the start of the shutdown, and nine out of 15 cabinet-level departments and dozens of agencies affected.

The shutdown, which started Friday midnight, resulted from a budgetary impasse between the White House and Congress over whether to fund the construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall, a promise of President Donald Trump’s campaign in 2016.

“Whatever it takes, we need a wall,” Mr. Trump said during his unannounced visit to U.S. troops in Iraq on Wednesday. “We need safety for our country.”

Democrats have violently pushed back, slapping the Trump proposal as an “inefficient, unnecessary and costly” solution to strengthening border security as well as “a political stunt” to galvanize his base.

“Fake New Media”  and DC alligator infested swamp pundits have said that it’s hard to predict when the political stalemate would end as Republicans and Democrats are still deeply divided over the border wall, which has also torn the public apart.

“The shutdown could easily go on for weeks and there will be no winners — only losers,” Mark Penn, former chief strategist on Bill Clinton’s 1996 presidential campaign, wrote in an op-ed carried by Fox News.

2…………>Merry Christmas Hezbollah: IDF

 

 Israel’s IDF launched Operation Northern Shield in December, with security forces locating and destroying four tunnels under the country’s northern border, believed to be dug by Hezbollah terrorists to smuggle militants and weapons.

Israel traditionally views Hezbollah’s presence in Lebanon and Syria as a threat to its national security as the movement is backed by Iran, which is Israel’s key rival in the region.

This comes after the IDF said last week it destroyed attack tunnels discovered close to the Israeli-Lebanese border, following the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) confirming the existence of all tunnels that Israeli forces discovered along the border between Israel and Lebanon.

3…………>A Sicilian Christmas: Mt.Etna Earthquake

 

Residents of the Italian island of Sicily are keeping a close eye on Mount Etna, in an expectation of an ongoing eruption that triggered an earthquake on Wednesday in which 10 people were injured and several buildings damaged.

The quake struck in the early hours of the morning with a magnitude of 4.8 on the Richter scale, according to Italy’s seismology institute (INGV). It came after a series of some 1,000 tremors in the past few days, at least 60 of which topped a reading of 2.5.

Although the earthquake hit to the north of Catania, the largest city in eastern Sicily, no damage or injuries were reported there, but other towns experienced cracks opening in buildings, while a number of villagers fled their homes in panic. Two people were rescued from a collapsed building. (DW)

We have to wait and see if new Fed chair Powell will attempt to destroy Eurasian block by sending gold prices below 1000, despite the fact both Russia and China have been buying their whole gold production in local gold backed currency instead of money printing machines. In other words, US has lost controls of the precious metals complex, and with Trump’s infrastructure and tax cut campaign the National debt will soon be at, or over 30 trillion dollars, since D.C. swamp alligators have no intention dropping their pet projects. Read “Ziban Must Die” for more details on the coming collision of Trump’s administration with “Deep State” operators funded by the billionaires’ supporters of the New World Disorder.

Christmas In Baltimore: A Rocket Launcher

 

Baltimore, a US city with more than 600,000 residents located 37 miles northwest of Washington DC, is America’s deadliest big city, with the number of homicides in the city surpassing 300 each of the last four years, including 343 in 2017.

Police collected 1,860 weapons as part of a three-day buyback operation aimed at getting illegal firearms off the streets, and city Mayor Catherine Pugh tweeted that one of the weapons was a rocket launcher, which was traded for $500.

Authorities have contacted the United States military and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives in attempt to discover its origin.
