Joe Farah is a writer for WND and has some ideas for Trump's first 100 days in office.
I for one would love to see these ideas done in 100 days.It would be a good trick if Trump could get this much done.
Semper Fi !!!
Joseph Farah is a writer for WND.
(WND) – What are the first things Donald Trump should do upon taking the office of the presidency Jan. 20?
Everyone has their ideas.
Here is my top-17 list for the first 100 days:
1. Obamacare needs to be scrapped, dismantled, destroyed and replaced with a system that uses market forces to make health insurance more affordable and available, one without mandates on consumers they don’t need or want. The “experts” will tell you how complicated that is. These are the same “experts” who insisted you could keep your own doctor and your own policy under Obamacare. They are the same “experts” who created a wacky Rube Goldberg-like system designed to fail, designed to drive up the cost of premiums, designed to empower government over consumers.
2. The border needs to sealed – no ifs, ands or buts. It’s time for Trump to make good on his most important promise – the one that got him elected.
3. A review of all globalist trade deals needs to take place quickly, and the stake needs to be put in the hearts of all of them that are not serving the best interests of the American people.
4. Taxes – both personal and corporate – need to be slashed.
5. The Internal Revenue Service needs to be scrapped in favor of a much simpler system not subject to political abuse and one that reduces time-consuming and expensive paperwork to comply.
6. The U.S. military needs to get back to the business of defending the nation and away from acting as the government’s incubator for social experiments involving sex and gender.
7. The late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia needs to be replaced by an equivalent jurist in temperament, intellect and constitutional integrity.
8. Trump should name a commission to investigate glaring shortcomings in our electoral system – from taxpayer campaign financing to the lingering questions still surrounding the constitutional eligibility proofs for president and vice president. With a new forensic investigation of Barack Obama’s so-called “birth certificate” showing it to be a fraudulent document apparently manufactured at his behest, the nation should never be subjected to this kind of embarrassment again.
9. To avoid a looming economic calamity, Trump should have a plan drawn up by his fiscal team to deal with the staggering $20 trillion debt he was left holding the bag with by Obama.
10. Trump should ask Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to draw up a plan to reduce regulation on American consumers and businesses to put people back to work.
11. Of course, overturn all of Obama’s unconstitutional executive orders and presidential directives.
12. Announce that the Trump family will spend their own money on vacations.
13. Appoint a commission to recommend cuts in waste, fraud, abuse and corruption in Washington that leads to legislation providing real protections and incentives for whistleblowers, employees and supervisors who save money and disclose wrongdoing inside the swamp.
14. Evaluate every piece of legislation that hits the Oval Office on the basis of the constitutional test.
15. Carefully evaluate every judicial appointment by the same standard Trump has promised to apply to the Supreme Court nominations.
16. Shake up the White House press corps by overturning the misguided rules of the past that have helped turn the nation’s media into a partisan joke. Invoke drug tests on all reporters,
producers and media crews who enter the White House. Institute a lottery system to determine where correspondents are seated for press conferences. Acknowledge the new stature of the digital media by treating them with as much respect as the old guard media establishment.
17. Start cutting the size and scope of the federal government, encouraging Cabinet secretaries to reduce spending and interference in matters more properly handled by state governments with an eye toward the elimination of the Department of Education and other agencies.
That would be a good start to the New Year. Don’t you think?

Hey hairless reid,you were told back in 2013 that this might happen.No wonder you decided to run home with your a** intact.
Semper Fi !!!
Remember in 2013 when Harry Reid used the ‘nuclear option’ to confirm judges?
Harry Reid’s new rule was that no filibusters could be used to stop judges below the Supreme Court. All it took was a simple majority to confirm them.
Harry Reid changed a long-standing tradition in service of Democrat partisanship.
Fast forward to 2017. Republicans will have a simple majority in the Senate. And there are over 100 empty judge spots below the Supreme Court.
There currently are over 100 vacancies in the federal appeals and trial courts.
As Philip Rucker and Robert Barnes at WaPo write, that will allow Donald Trump to reshape the federal judiciary rather decisively and quickly, Trump to inherit more than 100 court vacancies, plans to reshape judiciary:
“Donald Trump is set to inherit an uncommon number of vacancies in the federal courts in addition to the open Supreme Court seat, giving the president-elect a monumental opportunity to reshape the judiciary after taking office. The estimated 103 judicial vacancies that President Obama is expected to hand over to Trump in the Jan. 20 transition of power is nearly double the 54 openings Obama found eight years ago following George W. Bush’s presidency.”
That’s over 100 judges to be replaced by a Republican President.
The Democrats keep losing . . . And Trump keeps winning!
Share to show your support for Trump and the Republican Senate doing to Harry Reid’s Democrats what they did in 2013!

THE DAKOTA ACCESS PIPELINE DOES NOT CROSS LAND OWNED BY THE STANDING ROCK SIOUX.
No part of the pipeline will be installed on the Standing Rock reservation.
The part of the project that needs the approval of the Army Corps of Engineers is a sliver of 1,000 feet of federal land – not Standing Rock land – that is part of its crossing beneath Lake Oahe. This part of the pipeline would be tunneled using state of the art Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) through soil nearly 100 feet below the bottom of the lake. This is about 20 times deeper than an existing pipeline that was installed beneath the same lake in 1982 and has operated safely for about 35 years.
In fact, eight pipelines currently pass below Lake Oahe, as well as one high-energy electrical system.

Mexico President Vows to Protect Illegals Living in U.S. From Trump
By Cheryl Chumley - on January 26, 2017
Mexico’s president Enrique Peña Nieto sent out a message to so-called migrants from his country who are now living in America – code for illegals – that said this: We’ll shelter you from President Donald Trump’s deportation storm.
Cupcake, meet White House gun. It’s almost laughable.
Mexico President Enrique Peña Nieto.
Now how would that work, exactly?
Peña Nieto’s remarks came after Trump signed executive orders curbing illegal immigration and tightening border security.
His words, at a widely reported press conference:
“Where there is a Mexican migrant at risk that requires our support, your country should be there,” he said, speaking to the nations of Mexico, about the role of Mexico in fighting for migrant rights.
“Our communities are not alone,” he went on. “The Mexican government will provide them with the legal advice, which guarantees the protection they require.”
In other words, Peña Nieto is trying to insert his own policies into the United States, over the will of the American people, despite the sovereign status of the United States and the governing doctrines of the U.S. Constitution, and regardless of Trump’s executive powers.
From NBC News:
“Specifically, he said, ‘the 50 Mexican consulates in the United States will become authentic advocates for the rights of migrants.’ He didn’t provide details on what he said he wanted them to do.
“Peña Nieto is scheduled to meet with Trump next Tuesday to discuss trade and immigration. But after Trump signed the two orders — one to begin steps to fund Trump’s promised wall along the U.S.-Mexican border and the other to significantly boost the U.S. Border Patrol — Peña Nieto said he was consulting with Mexican officials in Washington to decide on ‘the next steps.'”

I have said over and over that the EPA needs to go away and the states should take care of their own environmental problems themselves.The EPA has grown way too big to the point that they are making up their own rules as they go and they seem to not answer to anyone.
It's time to clean house and it looks like Trump is going to do just that.
Semper Fi !!!
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) employees are reportedly arriving at work in tears because of President Donald Trump.
An anonymous EPA communications career employee told Pro-Publica that “more than a few friends were ‘coming to work in tears’ each morning as they grappled with balancing the practical need to keep their jobs with their concerns for the issues they work on.”
The Trump administration allegedly instructed the EPA to freeze all grants for projects, research on global warming, air quality monitoring and education, and instructed employees not to discuss the spending freeze outside the agency, according to reports earlier this week.
Trump also allegedly ordered the EPA to take down its global warming webpage, however it is currently still up as of Thursday. The page contains some links to EPA’s data on carbon dioxide (CO2) as well as other greenhouse gas emissions and lists the effects the agency says global warming will have. The site doesn’t host much of the data, however, and only aggregates links to it.
The Trump White House global warming webpage was taken down seconds after President Donald Trump formally took office. The link for Obama’s old global warming webpage currently redirects to a Trump transition webpage.
Trump pledged during his campaign to get rid of the agency “in almost every form,” leaving only “little tidbits left.”
Trump nominated Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, who has battled the EPA numerous times in court, to head the agency. A leaked memo from Trump’s transition team indicates that the administration plans $513 million in cuts to the “states and tribal assistance grants,” $193 million from eliminating agency global warming programs and another $109 million in savings through cutting “environment programs and management.”

The anger at his new policy is seriously misplaced. President Trump has ordered a temporary, 120-day halt to admitting refugees from seven countries, all of them war-torn states with majority-Muslim populations: Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Libya, and Somalia. He has further indicated that, once additional screening provisions are put in place, he wants further refugee admissions from those countries to give priority to Christian refugees over Muslim refugees.
Trump’s order is, in characteristic Trump fashion, both ham-handed and underinclusive, and particularly unfair to allies who risked life and limb to help the American war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. But it is also not the dangerous and radical departure from U.S. policy that his liberal critics make it out to be. His policy may be terrible public relations for the United States, but it is fairly narrow and well within the recent tradition of immigration actions taken by the Obama administration. First, let’s put in context what Trump is actually doing.
The executive order, on its face, does not discriminate between Muslim and Christian (or Jewish) immigrants, and it is far from being a complete ban on Muslim immigrants or even Muslim refugees. Trump’s own stated reason for giving preference to Christian refugees is also worth quoting: Trump was asked whether he would prioritize persecuted Christians in the Middle East for admission as refugees, and he replied, “Yes.” “They’ve been horribly treated,” he said. “Do you know if you were a Christian in Syria it was impossible, at least very tough, to get into the United States?
If you were a Muslim you could come in, but if you were a Christian it was almost impossible. And the reason that was so unfair — everybody was persecuted, in all fairness — but they were chopping off the heads of everybody, but more so the Christians. And I thought it was very, very unfair. “So we are going to help them.” Trump isn’t making this up; Obama-administration policy effectively discriminated against persecuted religious-minority Christians from Syria (even while explicitly admitting that ISIS was pursuing a policy of genocide against Syrian Christians), and the response from most of Trump’s liberal critics has been silence: The United States has accepted 10,801 Syrian refugees, of whom 56 are Christian. Not 56 percent; 56 total, out of 10,801. That is to say, one-half of 1 percent. The BBC says that 10 percent of all Syrians are Christian, which would mean 2.2 million Christians. . . .
Experts say [one] reason for the lack of Christians in the makeup of the refugees is the makeup of the camps. Christians in the main United Nations refugee camp in Jordan are subject to persecution, they say, and so flee the camps, meaning they are not included in the refugees referred to the U.S. by the U.N. “The Christians don’t reside in those camps because it is too dangerous,” [Nina Shea, director of the Hudson Institute’s Center for Religious Freedom] said. “They are preyed upon by other residents from the Sunni community, and there is infiltration by ISIS and criminal gangs.” “They are raped, abducted into slavery and they are abducted for ransom. It is extremely dangerous; there is not a single Christian in the Jordanian camps for Syrian refugees,” Shea said. Liberals are normally the first people to argue that American policy should give preferential treatment to groups that are oppressed and discriminated against, but because Christians are the dominant religious group here — and the bêtes noires of domestic liberals — there is little liberal interest in accommodating U.S. refugee policy to the reality on the ground in Syria.
So long as Obama could outsource religious discrimination against Christian refugees to Jordan and the U.N., his supporters preferred the status quo to admitting that Trump might have a point. On the whole, 2016 was the first time in a decade when the United States let in more Muslim than Christian refugees, 38,901 overall, 75 percent of them from Syria, Somalia, and Iraq, all countries on Trump’s list — and all countries in which the United States has been actively engaged in drone strikes or ground combat over the past year. Obama had been planning to dramatically expand that number, to 110,000, in 2017 — only after he was safely out of office. This brings us to a broader point: The United States in general, and the Obama administration in particular, never had an open-borders policy for all refugees from everywhere, so overwrought rhetoric about Trump ripping down Lady Liberty’s promise means comparing him to an ideal state that never existed. In fact, the Obama administration completely stopped processing refugees from Iraq for six months in 2011 over concerns about terrorist infiltration, a step nearly identical to Trump’s current order, but one that was met with silence and indifference by most of Trump’s current critics. Only two weeks ago, Obama revoked a decades-old “wet foot, dry foot” policy of allowing entry to refugees from Cuba who made it to our shores. His move, intended to signal an easing of tensions with the brutal Communist dictatorship in Havana, has stranded scores of refugees in Mexico and Central America, and Mexico last Friday deported the first 91 of them to Cuba. This, too, has no claim on the conscience of Trump’s liberal critics. After all, Cuban Americans tend to vote Republican.

Donald J. Trump:
Statement Regarding Recent Executive Order Concerning Extreme Vetting
“America is a proud nation of immigrants and we will continue to show compassion to those fleeing oppression, but we will do so while protecting our own citizens and border. America has always been the land of the free and home of the brave.
We will keep it free and keep it safe, as the media knows, but refuses to say. My policy is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months. The seven countries named in the Executive Order are the same countries previously identified by the Obama administration as sources of terror. To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting.
This is not about religion - this is about terror and keeping our country safe. There are over 40 different countries worldwide that are majority Muslim that are not affected by this order. We will again be issuing visas to all countries once we are sure we have reviewed and implemented the most secure policies over the next 90 days.
I have tremendous feeling for the people involved in this horrific humanitarian crisis in Syria. My first priority will always be to protect and serve our country, but as President I will find ways to help all those who are suffering.”

Origin of Left and Right
Have you wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left." By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible: "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV). Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.
Can't get any simpler than that.
And, now for a spelling lesson: The last four letters in American; I can. The last four letters in Republican; I can. The last four letters in Democrats; rats. End of lesson. Test to follow in November, 2016.
Remember, November 2016, was set aside as rodent extermination month.

Donald Trump Threatens to Cancel Berkeley Federal Funds After Riots Shut Down Milo Event
A fire set by demonstrators protesting a scheduled speaking appearance by Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos burns on Sproul Plaza on the University of California at Berkeley campus on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2017, in Berkeley, Calif.

President Donald Trump reacted to the massive rioting at UC-Berkeley in response to a scheduled campus speech by Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos.
“If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view – NO FEDERAL FUNDS?” Trump wrote on Twitter early Thursday morning.
News of the rioting made cable news last night as students smashed ATMs and bank windows, looted a Starbucks, beat Trump supporters, pepper sprayed innocent individuals, and set fires in the street. Others spray painted the words “Kill Trump” on storefronts.
The speech was canceled by UC-Berkeley police as security failed. Yiannopoulos was evacuated from the area.
“The left is profoundly antithetical to free speech these days, does not want to hear alternative points of view, and will do anything to shut it down,” Yiannopoulos told Fox News host Tucker Carlson in an interview on Wednesday night. “My point is being proven over and over and over again.”

GOP Defectors Have Received Thousands From Teachers Union
Collins, Murkowski will vote no on DeVos
BY: Bill McMorris
February 1, 2017 4:10 pm
The two Republicans who broke ranks with their party and announced they would vote against education secretary nominee Betsy DeVos have received thousands of dollars from the nation's largest teachers union.
Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska) and Susan Collins (R., Maine) have each benefited from contributions from the National Education Association. Collins received $2,000 from the union in 2002 and 2008, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Murkowski, meanwhile, has received $23,500.
The NEA represents 3 million members, making it the wealthiest and most influential union in the country. The NEA, along with other labor groups like the American Federation of Teachers, has waged a fierce campaign against DeVosa billionaire philanthropist and school choice activist.
Teachers unions donate almost exclusively to Democrats. The NEA contributed $2.3 million to Democratic candidates in 2016, while Republican nominees received $350,000, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
The top beneficiaries of union largesse have already voted against DeVos' nomination at the committee level. The union donated $740,000 to the 11 Democratic members of that committee—all 11 attempted to prevent the nomination from reaching the Senate floor.
Murkowski received a 100 percent rating on a 2012 NEA Report Card, while Collins received a 75 percent rating—the only Republicans to earn marks above 50 percent from the group. Each senator has earned straight-A marks from the union since 2014.
Murkowski has long been a favorite of teachers unions. She was one of only four Republican senators to receive contributions from the NEA in 2016, hauling in $10,000, while the other three Republicans received only $3,200. She received the NEA's endorsement in 2010 when she won as an independent candidate after losing the GOP primary, and received it again in 2016.

FAKE NEWS ALERT: No, Judge Gorsuch Never Founded A 'Fascism' Club
Posted Thursday, February 2nd 2017 @ 3pm by Hannity.com Staff
The left is pulling out all the stops in their attempts to smear Judge Neil Gorsuch, President Donald Trump's nominee for the United States Supreme Court. The latest accusation is that Gorsuch founded a club called the "Fascism Forever Club" while he was in high school.
The "evidence" for the claim comes from the Georgetown Preparatory School yearbook from Gorsuch's time at the school, and was first reported on by the U.K. Daily Mail.
A blurb in the high school year book reads:
So it was this year as the seniors, jovial and compassionate souls, took up the burden allotted them by destiny. In political circles, our tireless President Gorsuch's "Fascism Forever" forum happily jerked its knees against the increasingly "left wing" tendencies of faculty. In social circles it was boosters as usual leading their flocks to greener fields. From rallies to games after-parties, they kept the intensity at a fever pitch.
There's just one problem. The so-called Fascism Forever club never actually existed and the blurb was likely a sophomoric joke.
Over at The National Review, Ed Whelan pours some cold water on the Daily Mail's report:
Earth to newpaper reporters: High-school yearbook editors sometimes have a sophomoric sense of humor.
I am reliably informed that no such club ever existed and that there was instead an inside joke among friends in the senior class that parodied political debates happening at the school. A contemporary of Gorsuch’s at the school also tells me that yearbook editors added stuff to student blurbs without their permission.
Since Trump announced his nomination to the high court, Gorsuch has received praise from both sides of the political aisle.
Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah, who has himself argued in front of the Judge, called Gorsuch's nomination a "tremendous pick."
"[Judge Gorsuch] is a prepared, thoughtful, and careful jurist, who has demonstrated a strong commitment to textualism and originalism," wrote Lee. "His opinions are well-reasoned and brilliantly written, and he has enriched the Tenth Circuit’s jurisprudence in a number of areas during his ten years on the court."
Even some liberals praised Trump's choice.
"I am hard-pressed to think of one thing President Trump has done right in the last 11 days since his inauguration," wrote acting solicitor general in the Obama administration Neal Katyal in the pages of The New York Times. "Until Tuesday, when he nominated an extraordinary judge and man, Neil Gorsuch, to be a justice on the Supreme Court."
Despite the fact that Judge Gorsuch is clearly qualified for the post, Senate Democrats have vowed to block his nomination.
thank goodness this one went thru in a timely manner, despite the threats by some
to impede

Oh boy, I hope you guys are ready for this. Forget Trump's first 100 days. What he needs to do is mind boggling. The enclosed link will take a while to read. So make sure you set aside some time. I don't know the site, I only just stumbled across it.
When you read the article, all the insane crap that has happened in the last few decades will begin to align. Pick your favorite Liberal and Conservative boogieman, he's in there. Whatever your worst nightmare is, it will be explained. When you read it, you'll say to yourself, "Yep, I always thought something like that was going on"! Proving it is the challenge. Jeff Sessions, Jason Chavitz, and Trey Gowdy will need to clone themselves.
And yes, we only have ONE political party, and WE don't belong to it. Even the Dems will be furious when they figure this out. Just maybe, Trump "could" use this to unite ALL Americans. George Carlin was correct, 'It's a big club and you ain't in it'! Trump annihilated two heads of the snake in the election and the other heads are scared and dangerous. All I can say is, Godspeed!
The ending is inspiring. I can imagine Trump succeeding, with a little Divine Intervention. He's gotten this far, with a little bit of our help. Once you know what he's up against, you'll want to pitch in even more. If you are religious, prayers are recommended. If not religious, learn to pray real fast.
There are so many countries that have been cheated. No wonder so many countries hate America. It's NOT America they hate. Trump could make things right and strike a deal for them to follow along for the ride of a lifetime.

Over 95% have no regrets on voting for Trump but less than 40% are disappointed in his success thus far. Now he moved the wall over to the fall vote to get the budget passed and avoid a filibuster. Damned Schummer. How OLD is that fart?

Pouring through the massive $1.18 trillion, 1,600+ page omnibus spending bill reveals one inescapable fact about the political arrangements in Washington: nothing much has changed. By crafting yet another bill behind closed doors without input from members, Congress has delivered a status quo bill that does little to advance the President's stated priorities, eliminate wasteful spending, or reform government.
The whole point of passing the short-term CR in December was to allow the remaining FY17 spending bills to have the imprint of Republicans in the Congress and the new administration. Yet, here we are with a bill that looks a lot like what we've been seeing for years. Sure, there are things in the bill that are worthy of support, such as a pay increase of our troops (though the House has already passed this twice in the past 10 months), extension of opportunity scholarships (but only for the District of Columbia) and funding for research for diseases like Alzheimer's (which has strong bipartisan support and could easily pass as a standalone measure). It’d be hard to write a 1,600 page bill that did not have at least some measures that are meritorious.
At the same time, the omnibus prevents construction of a border wall, funds high-speed rail for California (perhaps the most expensive boondoggle in recent memory), continues sending money to sanctuary cities, fails to defund abortion providers, continues funding the Palestinian Authority (even though the PA pays salaries and pensions to the families of terrorists who murder Jews), and doesn't eliminate any wasteful spending program. It is the “same old, same old” fiscal song and dance. The Swamp wins again.
We are told that the “real” budget fight will be in September prior to the start of fiscal year 2018. However, Republicans need a new strategy to avoid what has become a perpetual failure theater. As it stands now, the mere threat of a filibuster by liberal Sen. Chuck Schumer is enough to prompt Republican leaders to make major concessions. Avoiding a Schumer-facilitated “shutdown” is more important to Republicans leaders than achieving concrete policy victories on behalf of their constituents. Republicans leaders need to make Schumer?and his Democrat colleagues up for reelection in 2018?pay a price for filibustering funding for things like our troops and our veterans. Otherwise, we will continue to see massive spending bills that do little to challenge the Swamp’s prevailing orthodoxies.
Sincerely,
Congressman Ron DeSantis
