WEB Notes: More Executive Orders by trump, this time to build a wall along the Southern Border that Border Officers have concerns over and where is the discussion about the cost of such a structure? Of course, the Executive Order does not cover the cost of the wall itself. Hey, don’t worry about the money trump says, Mexico will pay for it. Mexico will pay for it? Let us talk about the cost first. Analysts have calculated the cost to build the wall at $15-$25 Billion dollars! Mexico, a failed state is going to pay for it? Sure they will and signing yet another illegal Executive Order is not the answer to this problem. Continue reading “President Trump: Construction Of Border Wall Will Begin In ‘Months’ On Your Dime”

Representative Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.), President Donald Trump’s pick to head up the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), touched the famous “third rail” of American politics during his confirmation hearing on Tuesday. Testifying before the Senate Budget Committee, Mulvaney was pressed hard for his views on Social Security by Senator Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.): “Do you think we need to look at adjusting the [retirement] age yet again because we live longer?”
Replied Mulvaney, “I do, yes sir.” Continue reading “Trump Pick for Management & Budget Talks Raising Retirement Age”
Professors at a university in Seattle, Washington are calling out “bullsh*t,” offering students a course on identifying “BS.” The pair have already seen huge interest in the spring course, which would cover topics including publication bias and fake news.

Developed by two professors from the University of Washington, ‘Calling Bullsh*t’ aims to enlighten its students on how to “identify BS, sift through the BS, to be able to respond to BS,” the professors told KOMO.

Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has called on the US to put an end to the “illegal war” she believes it wages in Syria after visiting Damascus and Aleppo. During her trip, she spoke with civilians, religious leaders, opposition leaders, and President Assad.

The itinerary was kept secret until Gabbard’s return to the US for security reasons. Continue reading “Rep. Gabbard calls on US govt to stop ‘supporting terrorists’ after meeting Syria civilians & Assad”
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s wide-ranging executive actions tightening border security— and the prospect of additional measures restricting refugee flows — mark a sharp shift away from Washington’s elusive efforts to forge comprehensive immigration legislation.
“We do not need new laws,” Trump said Wednesday during remarks at the Department of Homeland Security. “We will work within the existing system and framework.” The centerpiece of the measures Trump signed was an order to jumpstart construction of his promised U.S.-Mexico border wall. He also ordered cuts in federal grants for immigrant-protecting “sanctuary cities” and a boost in the number of border patrol agents and immigration officers, pending congressional funding. Continue reading “Trump’s immigration actions mark sharp shift in US policy”
SAN DIEGO (AP) — As President Donald Trump announced his plans for a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico, Border Patrol agents in San Diego on the lookout for drugs and smugglers drove all-terrain vehicles along a barrier that reaches 18 feet, topped by razor wire and reinforced by cameras and lighting.
Mexicans shopped at an outlet mall that bumps up against the border. And dozens of migrants huddled in tents outside a shelter in Mexico hoping to get into the U.S. someday. To them, Trump’s executive order Wednesday to build a wall seemed more like a symbolic and worrisome gesture of a new chapter in U.S-Mexico relations than a real deterrent for people to enter the country illegally.
