nieuwe benoemingen (vandaag staat immers het thema 'security' centraal):

National Security Adviser for the Vice President and Deputy Assistant to POTUS:
Andrea Thompson
* Colonel Us Army
* Fmr. Commander Military intelligence task force
* Fmr. ISAF Chief of Staff
* ROTC from University of South Dakota, Master’s in National Security and Strategic Studies from the National War College

eerder waren er al:
Senior National Security Council official for strategy: Dave Horan
Senior Director of African Affairs at the National Security Council: Robin Townley
Senior Director of Asian Affairs at the National Security Council: Matt Pottinger

ook die 3 zijn allemaal officieren/voormalig officieren. Horan heeft op vrijwel iedere positie gezeten, van de US Central Command tot de NATO. Townley en Pottinger zijn voormalig 'intelligence officials' en hebben hun 'excursies' op die continenten gedaan.

Townley is overigens ook betrokken bij het Doc-to-Dock project. Deze posities hebben uiteraard geen sen. approval nodig.

Wat de fuck is dit nou weer?

quote:

Donald Trump has used his first TV interview as president to say he believes torture “absolutely” works and that the US should “fight fire with fire.”

Speaking to ABC News, Trump said he would defer to the defence secretary, James Mattis, and CIA director, Mike Pompeo, to determine what can and cannot be done legally to combat the spread of terrorism.
But asked about the efficacy of tactics such as waterboarding, Trump said: “absolutely I feel it works.”

To better inform the public regarding the public safety threats associated with sanctuary jurisdictions, the Secretary shall utilize the Declined Detainer Outcome Report or its equivalent and, on a weekly basis, make public a comprehensive list of criminal actions committed by aliens and any jurisdiction that ignored or otherwise failed to honor any detainers with respect to such aliens.

Trump’s flashy executive actions could run aground

President Donald Trump’s team made little effort to consult with federal agency lawyers or lawmakers as they churned out executive actions this week, stoking fears the White House is creating the appearance of real momentum with flawed orders that might be unworkable, unenforceable or even illegal.

Er is geen geld in de huidige situatue voor een muur, het huidige hek wat onder Obama begonnen is heeft 2,9 miljard dollar nodig om het af te maken wat het RNC congress niet wilde ophoesten.

Maar nu gaan ze wel 40 miljard ophoesten voor een muur, Uiteraard.

In artikelen over Trump's ontmoeting met Martin Luther King Jr. staat overigens iets over voter participation, heb ik destijds even gemist. Een vorm van free government ID:

King III has campaigned for years to establish a form of free government photo identification that could make it easier for Americans who lack a driver’s license or other official ID to cast ballots. He and the other attendees, including the Rev. James A. Forbes, have urged Trump to endorse the idea of making such identification free.

According to one of the meeting’s participants, who asked for anonymity to discuss a private conversation, Trump expressed a serious interest in making photos available on Social Security cards and said he would study the issue in further detail.

Several prominent Democrats, including former presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, have endorsed the idea. But some — such as John Lewis — have argued that it might leave Americans more vulnerable to data theft. And libertarians, such as Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), also oppose a universal government ID.
