Executive Action to build up military.
Senator John McCain states that Putin is a murderer and a thug and that the U.S. will never be partners with Russia in Syrian crisis.
Mike Pence addresses the 44th annual March for Life and is the first Vice President and highest ranking government official to attend the march which is a protest of the 1973 Roe v Wade decision to legalize abortion.
“Life is winning again in America” “Compassion is overcoming convenience.” “President Trump reinstated the Mexico City policy to prevent foreign aid from funding organizations that promote or perform abortions.” That was our tax dollars providing abortions for non-citizens in foreign countries, I wonder who much of our money was given away. VP Pence continued “This administration will work with Congress to end taxpayer funding for abortion and abortion providers, and we will devote those resources to health-care services for women across America.” The nomination of a Supreme Court nominee who will defend and uphold the liberties enshrined in our Constitution was also discussed.
Miami Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez has ordered county jails to comply with federal immigration detention requests, end the sanctuary city policy and return to 2014 policy of adhering to Federal Immigration Laws.
Greg Abbott (R) of Texas proposes legislation to remove anyone promoting sanctuary cities from office.
Apparently, someone claims to have seen a draft of an order which would change our policies on interrogation and the use of torture. The White House says that no such draft came from them. The President has said that although he has had conversations with some that have stated they have in fact gained actionable information using these tactics, his Defense Secretary has the opposite opinion and that as President he will let his defense team handle these matters.
The evidence that this draft exists is missing and yet it’s a 3 day story.

President Trump Speaks with South Korea
The soft propaganda insurgency:
Google CEO said that 187 employees were affected by the Presidents’ immigration order.
Another day of protests at the White House and numerous airports around the country in response to President Trump’s executive order placing temporary travel restrictions on incoming refugees from seven countries designated as terrorist havens by the Obama administration. As many as 1,000 people were present carrying signs reading “No hate, no fear, refugees are welcome here” and “no wall, no ban.”
Hakeem Jeffries (D) of New York called it a “reckless, unconstitutional, unsavory, un-American effort.” Jeffries also said “The entire executive order is a farce,” and stated “It’s a smokescreen. It has nothing to do with trying to keep this country safe.”
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D) New York said on Twitter she would join the Battery Park protests.
Senator Chuck Schumer (D) has been reported as shedding tears as he calls the Presidents immigration actions “mean spirited and un-American” while posing with Muslims in an organized press release.
I have watched this. He sniffed, no tears.
16 state AG’s released a statement calling Trump's immigration action "un-American and unlawful."
Included in a statement from San Francisco International Airport was the revelation that they were making supplies available to "travelers affected by the Executive Order as well as to the members of the public who have so bravely taken a stand against this action by speaking publicly in our facilities.”
SAG Awards, just sounds funny.
Iran missile test at site outside Semnan, roughly 14 miles east of Tehran. (600 miles flight?) Didn’t the Bulletin of Atomic Science say that the Iranian nuclear agreement had achieved its goal for the first year? This is the first test since President Trump has taken office but it is also the second test since July.
Iran claims that these tests are not restricted under any treaty.
