Trump declares North Korea a sponsor of terrorism – but experts warn move may trigger WW3

The made the announcement on Monday as he blasted for repeatedly supporting "acts of international , including assassinations on foreign soil" – believed be a reference to the murder of Kim Jong-un's half-brother Kim Jong-nam earlier this year.

The designation will allow the US to impose more sanctions which will be announced on Tuesday. President Trump said: "In addition to threatening the world by nuclear devastation, North Korea has repeatedly supported acts of international terrorism, including assassinations on foreign soil.

"This designation will impose further sanctions and penalties on North Korea and related persons and supports our maximum pressure campaign to isolate the murderous regime." He added that North Korea, who was removed from the list in 2008 under then-President George W Bush, should have been re-listed a long time ago".

Ed Royce, the Republican chairman of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, called the decision an important step in our efforts to apply maximum diplomatic and financial pressure on Kim Jong-un." However, Democratic senator Edward Markey dismissed the designation, adding it ratchets up the rhetoric but does nothing to hold North Korea accountable for its weapons programme.

Meanwhile, some experts, including a former chief US negotiator during the 1994 North Korean nuclear crisis, have warned it could be a "miscalculation" by Trump and "just further cements a dangerous game of escalatory brinkmanship" amid fears.

The list includes Iran – designated in 1984, Sudan – added in 1993, and Syria – listed in 1979. The announcement comes after a United Nations report revealed that . .

According to the report, the Iranian ship was smuggling machine guns from North Korea to arm militants in Somalia and Libya.

A UN diplomat earlier asked: "Why are Iranian and North Korean small arms finding their way into Somalia from Libya? Do they date from before the arms embargoes against both North Korea and Iran? How did they get there from Libya? "It certainly emphasises the point that Somalia is a country awash with arms and still very fragile." Earlier this year a .

More than 30,000 rocket-propelled grenades discovered on board the freighter named the Jie Shun which the hermit kingdom had decorated with deceptive Cambodian colours.

The designation follows Trump's return from a 12-day, five-nation trip to Asia in which he made containing North Koreas nuclear ambitions a centrepiece of his discussions.

The rogue state has made no secret of its plans to develop a nuclear-tipped missile capable of hitting the US mainland and has fired two missiles over Japan in the second half of this year.

On September 3, North Korea detonated its sixth and largest nuclear test, which sparked an artificial earthquake with a magnitude of 6.3.

Meanwhile, South Koreas spy agency said on Monday that the despotic nation may conduct additional missile tests this year to improve its long-range missile technology and ramp up the threat against US.

However, experts believe the 'state sponsor of terrorism' designation will be largely symbolic as North Korea is already heavily sanctioned by the US.

State Secretary Rex Tillerson added: "The practical effects may be limited but hopefully were closing off a few loopholes with this." In his announcement, Trump remembered Otto Warmbier, the college student from Ohio who died in June shortly after his return from North Korea, where he was held for more than a year.

His death caused outrage in the United States and further inflamed tensions with Pyongyang.

But a US intelligence official has warned that Trumps last move could backfire and escalate tension further amid fears nations are on the brink of triggering World War 3.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said Kim could respond in a number of ways, including renewing missile or nuclear tests in a very volatile environment".

The official added that the move also could also damage US relations with China, who Trump has repeatedly been pushing to put additional pressure on the despotic regime.

Meanwhile, others have argued that re-listing North Korea will severe any chance of dialogue – the nation had been removed under the Bush administration in 2008 in a bid to encourage denuclearisation talks.

Robert Gallucci, the chief US negotiator during the 1994 North Korean nuclear crisis, said: I dont see how this helps, and it might just be an important miscalculation." Harry Kazianis, director of defence studies at the Washington, DC-based public policy think tank Center for the National Interest, added: Sadly, this action by the Trump administration just further cements a dangerous game of escalatory brinkmanship where neither side is giving the other any off-ramp." North Korea was first put on the US terrorism sponsor list in 1987 after the bombing of a Korean Air flight that killed all 115 people aboard.

BREAKING NEWS TRUMP - Second US Judge Bars Donald Trump's Military Transgender Ban - Duration: 2:31.

Second US Judge Bars Donald Trump's Military Transgender Ban.

Trump in July sent out three tweets decreeing that transgender troops could not serve "in

any capacity," citing "tremendous" medical costs and disruption.

Washington: A second federal judge on Tuesday ruled against President Donald Trump's ban

on transgender military personnel, further undermining his order by saying Pentagon-funded

sex reassignment surgeries can continue to go ahead.

Trump in July sent out three tweets decreeing that transgender troops could not serve "in

any capacity," citing "tremendous" medical costs and disruption.

The tweets, later followed by a formal White House memorandum, set off a roar of protest

-- with several service members and rights groups quick to sue.

Trump's predecessor Barack Obama took the historic decision to allow openly transgender

troops to serve in the military, a move that was due to go into full

effect in July this year.

Today, US District Judge Marvin Garbis said the "lack of any justification for the abrupt

policy change," coupled with the "discriminatory impact" on troops in question "cannot possibly

constitute a legitimate governmental interest."

The ruling follows a similar move on October 30 by US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly,

who ordered the government to "revert to the status quo" that

was previously in effect.

The most recent ruling came in a case filed by Brock Stone and other transgender personnel.

Stone, who is 34 and has served 11 years in the Navy, has been undergoing hormone therapy

as a medically necessary part of his transition, court documents state.

Trump stressed to Defence Secretary Jim Mattis that the Pentagon should no longer cover the

costs of medical treatment associated with the sex reassignment surgery of those troops

already serving.

He gave the Pentagon until March 23, 2018 to craft a new policy on transgender service

members.

Garbis's ruling prevents the government from denying funding for sex reassignment surgeries.

The ruling features screen grabs of Trump's tweets and states these "did not emerge from

a policy review, nor did the Presidential Memorandum identify any policymaking process

or evidence demonstrating that the revocation of transgender rights was necessary for any

legitimate national interest."

WW3 FEARS INTENSIFY: Trump slaps North Korea with fresh sanctions in bid to crush Kim

The new sanctions are aimed at hurting trade between China and in a bid to pressure Pyongyang to back away from its ambition to develop a nuclear-tipped missile capable of hitting the US mainland.  It comes after Mr Trump turned the heat on despot dictator Kim by declaring the secretive state as a " state sponsor of terror".  Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, said: "As North Korea continues to threaten international peace and security, we are steadfast in our determination to maximise economic pressure to isolate it from outside sources of trade and revenue while exposing its evasive tactics.

These designations include companies that have engaged in trade with North Korea cumulatively worth hundreds of millions of dollars.   .

"We are also sanctioning the shipping and transportation companies, and their vessels, that facilitate North Koreas trade and its deceptive manoeuvres. The North is already subject to a raft of sanctions from the US, UN and the European Union.  The depraved regime's aggressive rhetoric against the US and its allies has sparked fears of across the globe.

Over the summer, Pyongyang undertook several missile tests and repeatedly threatened the US territory of Guam and Japan.

The US imposed sanctions against 13 Chinese and North Korean organisations Washington accused of helping evade nuclear restrictions against Pyongyang and supporting the country through trade.

The sanctions included blacklisting three Chinese companies, Dandong Kehua Economy & Trade Co., Dandong Xianghe Trading Co., and Dandong Hongda Trade Co., which the Treasury Department said have done more than $750 million in combined trade with North Korea.

The new sanctions also hit several North Korean companies that send workers to countries such as Russia, Poland, Cambodia and China as US authorities aim to to cut off the money North Korea makes from the export of labour.

The sanctions also blacklisted Sun Sidong and his company Dandong Dongyuan Industrial Co.

In a June report, Washington think tank C4ADS said Sun Sidongs firm was part of an interconnected network of Chinese companies that account for the vast proportion of trade with North Korea.

Along with targeting sources of weapons technology, the new sanctions marked the first time the United States sought to directly attack North Koreas everyday consumer trade.  Peter Harrell, a sanctions expert at the Centre for a New American Security, said: What you are seeing here is we are sanctioning companies involved in ordinary trade.  "Thats the logical next step of the pressure campaign.  .

Trump Just Got Last Laugh, Kathy Griffin Just Denounced U.S. & Leaves The Country - Duration: 4:53.

Now, this is what I call the trash taking itself out!

In what every red-blooded Patriotic American can consider a huge Thanksgiving gift, Kathy

Griffin has just announced she will be leaving the United States for at least four years.

And the reason is that, of course, she hates President Donald Trump.

After Griffin participated in a gruesome photo shoot which featured the so-called comedienne

holding a bloody, decapitated fake head resembling President Donald Trump, not unlike her Isis

counterparts.

Celebrities, and prominent media figures expressed a range of responses on social media, with

many criticizing the image as being in bad taste.

Although Kathy Griffin has "apologized" for the gory image she created with photographer

Tyler Shields, it seems both sides of the political aisle weren't impressed by it

and she has managed to bring her career to an abrupt end.

Obviously, she has wasted no time in playing the victim card and declared that at age 57

she doesn't have a lot of time to be patient.

Griffin begged people not to be "too hard" on her after claiming to be in the middle

of a Hollywood blacklist and added that when she gets back home she doesn't have one

single day of paid work in front of her.

Awww. poor little liberal.

She pulls an awful stunt like she did and she is the poor victim.

Maybe in her book, but not in the book of Americans, both on the left and right sides

of the aisle.

The Huffington Post Reports:

Kathy Griffin Referred To Anderson Cooper As A 'Spineless Heiress'

The comedian made the comment to the Daily Beast during an interview about Lisa Bloom.

Kathy Griffin isn't pulling any punches.

On Sunday, the Daily Beast published an article in which the comedian referred to Anderson

Cooper as "the Spineless Heiress."

Griffin's comment was part of an article about her public dispute with former attorney

Lisa Bloom, who represented her after photos of Griffin posing with President Donald Trump's

"severed head" surfaced online in May.

The controversial pictures not only cost Griffin her CNN New Year's Eve hosting gig, but

also spurred Cooper, who was Griffin's co-host and longtime friend, to condemn them on Twitter.

Cooper didn't reach out to give Griffin a heads up about his tweet before he posted

it and didn't initially check in on Griffin after she received backlash for the photos,

which hurt her feelings, New York Magazine reported.

Adding insult to injury, Cooper went on "Watch What Happens Live" in July and told host

Andy Cohen that he and Griffin were "still friends."

When Cooper finally reached out to Griffin in a series of texts in August, she ended

their friendship.

Cooper is the son of clothing designer Gloria Vanderbilt, who is a descendent of shipping

and railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt.

He told People in 2016 that he will not inherit any of the Vanderbilt fortune, and acknowledged

that he was very lucky to grow up with "great privilege."

During Griffin's interview with the Daily Beast, she expressed her disappointment with

Bloom.

Griffin estimated that she paid the celebrity attorney $40,000 for two days of legal representation,

and said that Bloom tried to pressure her into a press tour.

Griffin added that a press conference she did with Bloom in June was a mess.

The comedian also tweeted at Bloom on Sunday, telling her, "Stop calling me.

If you'd like to refund me the tens of thousands of $$ I wasted on your services maybe I'll

talk to you."

Bloom — who also represented Harvey Weinstein before cutting ties with him earlier this

month — told the Daily Beast that the press conference was a disaster because Griffin

spoke off the cuff and did not use notes the two had worked on together.

She also said she had only texted Griffin once in the past three months.

"The last time I spoke to Kathy, at a group dinner recently, she gave me a big hug, was

very friendly and said everything was great between us," Bloom said.

"I had no idea there was a problem until a reporter reached out to me about this a

few days ago."

The announcement that she's leaving the US came a few days after the has-been entertainer

fainted on stage in Dublin.

Because being an extreme left-wing hack must be draining work.

Glad to see both sides of the political spectrum coming together and saying she went too far.

And at the age of 57, she should have known better and there is no excuse imaginable.

This wasn't just a tweet that came out in the heat of the moment.

This was planned out and she had weeks, if not months, to think about what repercussions

she would face for putting this picture out there.

Trump Fires Shots at UCLA Player's Father - Duration: 5:15.

Trump

Fires Shots at UCLA Player�s Father� �I Should Have Left Them in Jail!�

BY CILLIAN ZEAL.

After being dismissed by the father of one of the UCLA basketball players recently freed

on shoplifting charges in China after Donald Trump�s intervention, the president fired

off a scathing tweet saying he �should have left them in jail.�

LaVar Ball, the outspoken father of UCLA player LiAngelo Ball and Los Angeles Lakers rookie

Lonzo Ball, wrote off the president�s intervention as insignificant despite LiAngelo thanking

Trump for what he had done.

�Who?� LaVar told ESPN Friday.

�What was he over there for?

Don�t tell me nothing.

Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out.�

LiAngelo Ball, a freshman at UCLA, remained indefinitely suspended along with teammates

Cody Riley and Jalen Hill after the three were arrested on a team trip to China for

shoplifting at high-end stores.

Authorities detained them Nov. 7 in Hangzhou, where the team was staying before traveling

to Shanghai to take on Georgia Tech, after the three fell under suspicion of taking sunglasses

from a Louis Vuitton store next to the team hotel.

The incident happened during President Trump�s trip to Asia.

The president said he had spoken directly to Chinese President Xi Jinping about the

matter, according to Fox News.

The players were released and arrived back in the U.S. on Wednesday.

At a press conference, LiAngelo Ball said he would �like to thank President Trump

and the United States government for the help that they provided as well.�

That same day, UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero said the three young men had shoplifted

merchandise from three separate stores.

While the three players remain suspended indefinitely by UCLA and Coach Steve Alford said the players

�exercised an inexcusable lapse of judgment,� LaVar Ball was rather blas� about his son�s

arrest and release.

�As long as my boy�s back here, I�m fine,� LaVar Ball said.

�I�m happy with how things were handled.

A lot of people like to say a lot of things that they thought happened over there.

Like I told him, �They try to make a big deal out of nothing sometimes.� I�m from

L.A. I�ve seen a lot worse things happen than a guy taking some glasses.�

Trump, needless to say, wasn�t terribly happy with a guy playing down something he

had apparently expended some level of diplomatic capital on in such a desultory manner.

So, he decided to go for a rhetorical dunk on LaVar.

�Now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years in jail,

LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting of what I did for his son and that shoplifting

is no big deal.

I should have left them in jail!� Trump tweeted Sunday.

Donald J. Trump ? @realDonaldTrump Now that the three basketball players are

out of China and saved from years in jail, LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting

of what I did for his son and that shoplifting is no big deal.

I should have left them in jail!

�Shoplifting is a very big deal in China, as it should be (5-10 years in jail), but

not to father LaVar,� he pointed out in a later tweet.

�Should have gotten his son out during my next trip to China instead.

China told them why they were released.

Very ungrateful!�

Donald J. Trump ? @realDonaldTrump Shoplifting is a very big deal in China, as

it should be (5-10 years in jail), but not to father LaVar.

Should have gotten his son out during my next trip to China instead.

China told them why they were released.

Very ungrateful!

Even before the China incident, LaVar Ball has already attracted significant media attention

for what�s perceived as his over-involvement in his sons� sporting ambitions.

Just days before LiAngelo was arrested in China, LaVar had complained about his son

Lonzo�s playing time with the Lakers even though the rookie has performed well under

expectations and his shooting is near an all-time NBA record low.

Please like and share on Facebook and Twitter with your thoughts on President Trump�s

remarks.

Do you think LaVar Ball is being ungrateful?

North Korea FURY at 'LUNATIC' Trump after new SWATHE of sanctions on Kim Jong-un - Duration: 4:27.

North Korea FURY at 'LUNATIC' Trump after new SWATHE of sanctions on Kim Jong-un

s propaganda machine branded the US President a lunatic and human reject in response to comments Donald Trump made during his tour of Asia.

The Rodong Sinmun, the mouthpiece of the ruling Workers Party, claimed Mr Trumps statements were an open declaration of war against North Korea.

The newspaper took apart one of the speeches the president delivered in South Korea in which Mr Trump taunted Kim Jong-un.

North Koreas propaganda machine said: The worst crime for which he can never be pardoned is that he dared to malignantly hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK..

But Mr  ignored Pyongyangs latest swathe of insults and announced the United States would re-design the rogue nation as a sponsor of terror, triggering very large sanction on the already heavily-disciplined state.

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the decision was taken to close a few loopholes in the US strategy towards North Korea.

Speaking at the White House, Mr Tillerson said: I think it is very symbolic on the one hand because it just points out again what a rogue regime this is.

How brutal this regime is and how little they care about the value of human life. I think in that in of itself makes a strong statement on the nature of this regime.

As I've said the practical effects may be limited but we're hopefully closing off a few loopholes with this..

He remarked Mr Trumps tour of Asia helped the United States strengthen its relationship with allies in the region and helped to gather support against the Kim regime.

Mr said: This is all part of this strategy of continuing to turn the pressure up. And we continue to turn the pressure up on North Korea by getting other countries to join and take action on their own.

During our visit to Vietnam, they have committed that they are going to curtail activities further with North Korea. Malaysia has indicated their curtailment. Singapore has cut off all trade with North Korea. The Philippines have cut off all trade.

This is taking effect all around the world and we think, as it takes effect, this continues to tighten the pressure on the Kim regime with an intention to have him understand this is only going to get worse.  .

North Koreas aggressive rhetoric against the United States and its allies has sparked fears of World War 3 across the globe. Over the summer, Pyongyang undertook several missile tests and repeatedly threatened the US territory of Guam and Japan.

The designation of Kim Jong-un's regime will allow the  to impose more sanctions which will be announced on later on Tuesday.

President Donald Trump said: "In addition to threatening the world by nuclear devastation, North Korea has repeatedly supported acts of international terrorism, including assassinations on foreign soil.

He added that North Korea, who was removed from the list in 2008 under then-President George W Bush, should have been re-listed a long time ago".

Trump Sends a Very Clear Message in Statement on Border Agent Killed on Patrol - Duration: 4:40.

Trump Sends a Very Clear Message in Statement on Border Agent Killed on Patrol.

By Jack Davis.

The deadly attack on two Border Patrol agents that left one dead and one injured is clear

proof that America needs a wall along its porous Southern Border, President Donald Trump

said Monday.

Trump spoke to reporters briefly before a Cabinet meeting. As reported by the U.K. Daily

Mail, Trump spoke on a number of issues including tax reform and North Korea, before addressing

the incident in which Rogelio Martinez was killed.

Ryan James Girdusky @RyanGirdusky This is Border Patrol Agent Rogelio Martinez

was ambushed by a group of illegal aliens. His skull was crushed by a rock. This is the

price of an unsecured border. #BuildTheWall #RogelioMartinez RIP Rogelio.

�Finally, I want to wish the American people a truly happy and blessed Thanksgiving, especially

to our brave men and women serving in our military and our Border Patrol and ICE agents

along the very dangerous southern border. As you heard, we lost a Border Patrol officer

just yesterday, and another one was brutally beaten and badly, badly hurt. Looks like he�ll

make it, but very, very badly hurt,� Trump said.

�And we talk about the wall � we�re going to have the wall. It�s a part of what

we�re doing. We need it. It�s rough territory. That�s where the drugs are coming in. A

lot of things are happening along the border � the southern border � and we�re going

to straighten it out,� he added.

The Trump administration has begun development of prototypes for a wall that would span key

sections of the border. Trump said that his efforts to step up border security have reduced

the flow of illegal immigrants, but there more must be done.

�We�ve already reduced the numbers � and you see the numbers � they�re back to

78 percent down from what they were. And those numbers will get better and better but we

have to stop the massive drug flow from pouring in. And my respect to the families that were

so badly hurt yesterday, because they were devastating. Those two families were devastated,�

Trump said.

The president also tweeted his commitment for justice and order along the border.

Donald J. Trump ? @realDonaldTrump Border Patrol Officer killed at Southern Border,

another badly hurt. We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible. We will, and

must, build the Wall! Trump tweeted.

On Sunday, Martinez and his partner were on patrol in the Big Bend section of Texas when

they were attacked near Interstate 10. They had been summoned to that area by the report

of unspecified activity.

�It was a cowardly act. One of our agents was murdered and another was an attempted

murder, and we look forward to getting whoever did this in custody, and hopefully, the full

weight of the U.S. justice system will come down on them,� said Chris Cabrera, a spokesman

for the National Border Patrol Council, which represents Border Patrol agents.

He said that Martinez was hit in the head with a blunt object, possibly a large rock.

�We�ve had agents, a good friend of mine actually almost lost his eye. It happens quite

a bit, unfortunately,� Cabrera said, adding that Border Patrol vehicles are often attacked

by thrown rocks.

�It�s nothing to laugh at,� he said. �It�s something that will physically and

permanently disfigure you, if not kill you.�

Although no official statement was issued about how Martinez was killed, the FBI sad

that the agents were not fired upon.

Trump Overturns Obama Ban, Sends "Mad Dog" Mattis to Wipe Out Taliban - Duration: 5:04.

Upon taking office, President Donald Trump "unleashed" the U.S. military on the Islamic

State group, giving them free reign to destroy the terrorists wherever they may be found

in Iraq and Syria, with an emphasis on destroying their means of revenue and support, particularly

oil production.

As part of his revised strategy for defeating the Taliban in Afghanistan, Trump has similarly

unleashed the military and tasked them with destroying the group's means of revenue

and support, in this case the production and trafficking of opium and heroin, according

to the Military Times.

It has long been understood that the Taliban exerted control over the cultivation of the

poppy plant across vast swathes of the country, which in turn is produced into opium and further

refined into morphine and heroin.

It is estimated that the Taliban derives a profit of about $200 million a year via the

production and trade of illegal narcotics around the globe.

When Trump announced his new strategy for Afghanistan, he relaxed restrictive rules

of engagement for the region put in place by former President Barack Obama — such

as a mandate that any action taken must be defensive in nature.

Instead, he tasked Defense Secretary James Mattis with taking the fight to the enemy

instead of waiting for them to come to us.

Mattis delegated this new authority to the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Nicholson,

who has now unleashed the air assets at his disposal to use targeted airstrikes against

the Taliban's primary means of income, the drug trade, according to the Washington Examiner.

"These new authorities give me the ability to go after the enemy in ways that I couldn't

before … to use airpower in the most effective way, going forward," stated Nicholson from

Afghanistan in a teleconference briefing with Pentagon reporters.

"We're hitting the Taliban where it hurts, which is their finances."

The war in Afghanistan has seen a typical cycle over the years of intense fighting during

the spring and summer seasons with a lull during the fall and winter.

Those days are now over, as Nicholson intends to keep constant pressure on the group going

forward.

That "pressure" will come in three main forms: Hitting the Taliban as hard as possible

on the battlefield using all means available, including overwhelming air support; placing

increasing economic pressure on them by targeting their drug production facilities; and putting

social pressure on them via upcoming democratic elections, all of which are intended to force

them to cease fighting and enter into a "reconciliation process."

The use of airpower to target the Taliban's economic lifeblood — opium and heroin — is

actually being led by the Afghans themselves, who on Sunday used A-29 Super Tucano light

attack aircraft to bomb two major drug labs.

The U.S. followed by hitting eight other similar targets with B-52 bombers and even an F-22

stealth fighter, which was capable of delivering a small bomb to a specific target without

causing widespread collateral damage.

It is thought that, over the course of the next year or two, the constant pressure on

the Taliban will reduce their control over large parts of Afghanistan and marginalize

them to an extent that they'll have no choice but to stop fighting.

"Our message to the enemy is that 'You cannot win the war; it's time to lay down

your arms and enter into the reconciliation process,'" Nicholson explained, according

to Department of Defense News.

"If they don't, they're going to be confined to irrelevance as the Afghans expand

their control of the country — or death," he added.

Nicholson described the Taliban as having increasingly become a "narco-insurgency"

that is largely fueled by the illicit drug trade.

However, the group also utilizes illegal mining, kidnapping for ransom and murder as a means

to acquire funds as well.

"To some extent it's fair to say that this movement has evolved into a narco-insurgency

so their profits from narcotics now exceed their operating expenses," Nicholson stated.

"We find that the leadership of the Taliban fight over the money and it's often divided

along tribal lines."

In years past, our military was essentially handcuffed in Afghanistan, operating under

incredibly restrictive rules of engagement that required high level approval from Washington

in order to do just about anything.

Those days are over.

President Trump — through Mattis — has granted the military the autonomy it needs

to do the job they were assigned 17 years ago: utterly defeat the terrorist-supporting,

drug-trading Taliban and bring their barbaric insurgency to its knees.

President Trump To Wipe Out Obama's Legacy In A Single Bold Move, Democrats Can't Do A Darn Thing - Duration: 3:51.

President Trump is at war with the administrative state and its oppressive regulations that

hobble businesses and suck the life out of the economy.

Liberals love the administrative state.

They falsely contend that capitalism is flawed and requires extensive government regulation

to fix it.

Instead, it's the liberals and their monstrous bureaucratic institutions that need to be

fixed.

Liberals claim to be champions of free-speech.

Perhaps at one time some of them were.

For decades, however, they have been waging a battle to force political-correctness on

everyone.

The internet has been described as something of a libertarian's dream – a decentralized

place where freedom of expression rules.

That liberals wish to regulate it and view all this freedom with suspicion betrays their

real agenda.

They falsely claim to be the true supporters of free speech.

Mr. Obama imposed "net neutrality" regulations on the internet via the Federal Communications

Commission.

Like much of what Mr. Obama created, these oppressive regulations are about to come to

an end.

FCC Chairman Pai has announced that he will begin the process of repealing those regulations.

This, in an effort to allow and encourage companies to innovate and to invest in internet

infrastructure.

Score another victory for Americans and for President Trump has he continues to dismantle

all that Mr. Obama created.

"Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai announced plans Tuesday to eliminate

hard-fought Obama-era net neutrality rules, calling for a 'light-touch regulatory approach'

to the Internet.

"The conservative Pai said his proposal to scrap the rules will be voted on by FCC

commissioners on Dec. 14.

He said the proposal was circulated to commissioners Tuesday morning.

"'Working with my colleagues, I look forward to returning to the light-touch, market-based

framework that unleashed the digital revolution and benefited consumers here and around the

world,' Pai said."

Nancy Pelosi is upset by all of this.

Not because she understands the internet, which she surely does not.

But because something else of Mr. Obama's doing is about to bite the dust.

If regulations are being roll back against anything other than abortion clinics which

must be free to do as they please, Nancy will be mad.

"'The FCC's moves to dismantle net neutrality will further stack the playing field in favor

of the biggest bank account, chilling competition, hurting consumers and punishing entrepreneurs

and small businesses,' Pelosi said."

Pelosi has no idea what she is talking about.

Donald Trump is winning, therefore whatever is happening must be bad.

That's about as far as her understanding can take her.

"But in his statement, Pai argued that the Internet 'thrived' under light regulation,

leading the private sector to invest more than $1 trillion to build communications networks

through the United States.

"'But in 2015, the prior FCC bowed to pressure from President Obama,' Pai said.

'On a party-line vote, it imposed heavy-handed, utility-style regulations upon the Internet.

That decision was a mistake.

It's depressed investment in building and expanding broadband networks and deterred

innovation.'"

The internet will be just fine being unshackled from the policies and regulations of the Obama

administration.

Turned loose, one can hardly imagine what new and beneficial technologies business will

develop.

Everyone wins on this one except the big-government regulators.

And it doesn't get much better than that.

North Korea: Former Senator blasts 'TERRORIST' Kim Jong-un as Trump issues new sanctions - Duration: 4:02.

North Korea: Former Senator blasts 'TERRORIST' Kim Jong-un as Trump issues new sanctions

was recently hit with a new swathe of punishing sanctions because of Pyongyangs persistently aggressive rhetoric against the US and its allies.

And as World War 3 concerns continue to increase, Mr Kyl said Donald Trumps decision to declare North Korea a sponsor of terror only confirms the true nature of Kim Jong-uns strategy.

Mr Kyl said: As long as they are doing what they are doing, you might as well call it what it is.

We should not try to pretty it up in an effort to bring them to the bargaining table. Speaking to , the former Arizona Senator said the decision to name North Korea a sponsor for terrorism – which leads to further sanctions on the already crippled rogue state – could help pressure Kim Jong-un to tone down his sabre-rattling rhetoric.

Mr Kyl said: What they are hoping to do is to recreate an opportunity where there are enough bad things happening to North Korea that they will finally come to the table and negotiate from a legitimate position.

Then we can talk about, perhaps, removing some of the sanctions. Perhaps removing them from the list of terror-sponsor states if, in fact, they change their behaviour..

North Koreas aggressive rhetoric against the US and its allies has sparked fears of World War 3 across the globe. Over the summer, Pyongyang undertook several missile tests and repeatedly threatened the US territory of Guam and Japan.

The designation of Kim Jong-un's regime will allow the US to impose more sanctions which will be announced on later on Tuesday.

 said: "In addition to threatening the world by nuclear devastation, North Korea has repeatedly supported acts of international terrorism, including assassinations on foreign soil.

He added that North Korea, who was removed from the list in 2008 under then-President George W Bush, should have been re-listed a long time ago".

It comes as the South Korean National Intelligence Service (NIS) discovered Kim Jong-un banned drinking and singing in an attempt to tighten the grip on his people.

NIS said: Pyongyang has devised a system whereby party organs report peoples economic hardships on a daily basis, and it has banned any gatherings related to drinking, singing and other entertainment and is strengthening control of outside information." With the rogue nation frequently issuing threats of nuclear annihilation to the world, the South's spy agency has been monitoring the country's military and has not found any signs of an upcoming provocation, but insisted that with Kim Jong-un at the helm the world should be on constant alert.

It went on: "Depending upon North Korean leader Kims determination, a nuclear test is possible at any time.".

Famous Artist Who Painted Obama Stepping On The Constitution Just Released Trump's Painting - Duration: 5:54.

There is a famous artist from Provo, Utah who painted a very controversial piece of

art of a depressed man sitting on a park bench.

He is surrounded by all of the 43 Presidents, and in the forefront, President Barack Obama

with his back turned to him stepping on the United States Constitution.

Now with the new American President, Donald Trump, he made a new painting and what a contrast

of difference from the other.

In this painting, you see the American people, different races, background professions surrounding

the once depressed man who is now planting a tree, which could symbolize the tree of

hope, and next to him is a woman and President Trump.

The title is perfect of Trump's legacy "You are not forgotten," because that's what

he promised to the American people that he will fight for the average American middle

class, and he will not forget them.

His Presidency of almost half a year has already shown his dedication to the people.

Bringing jobs back to the people, getting rid of the dangerous Obama care.

Taking the fight to terrorism instead of paying them.

This painting sums it all.

Just like the painting of Obama.

He said it himself that the Constitution has no meaning in his words.

He has continuously ignored the laws of the Constitution, one of them being, bowing down

to the enemies of the United States, which includes radical Islamist like ISIS, Taliban,

North Korea and so on.

He cared more about himself than helping the regular blue collar Americans.

He was a President of "open borders" which did not include immigrants who came to America

legally.

He supported terrorist groups in America known as black lives matter instead of supporting

the police.

Via CBS Las Vegas:

Provo, Utah (CBS Las Vegas) – In front of the White House a man is sitting on a park

bench in the throes of depression.

He is surrounded by all 43 presidents.

In the forefront, purposefully ignoring the depressed man is President Obama, whose right

foot is stepping on the Constitution.

James Madison is next to Obama, pleading with him to stop.

This tableau is called "The Forgotten Man", a painting by Jon McNaughton, an artist who

is known for his politically-charged work.

The painting, which uses objects such as discarded dollar bills as symbols and scraps of paper

with individual constitutional amendments scrawled onto them, has been making the rounds

across the Internet.

The painting was initially released in 2010 and has resurfaced, causing a stir when it

appeared for a caption contest on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow's blog.

The responses have ranged from sarcastic — "We'll trade you this peasant for that constitution.

We'll even throw in the bench."

— to Photoshop works of art.

McNaughton released an accompanying YouTube screen share video for his painting.

The video shows McNaughton painting the piece with a soundtrack that emulates a movie trailer.

"For a long time I didn't know if I wanted to paint this picture, because I worried it

might be too controversial," McNaughton explains in a voice over.

"(T)his man (on the park bench) represents every man, woman, and child who is an American…

he hopes to find the American dream of happiness and prosperity.

"But now because of unconstitutional acts imposed by the American people by our government

we stand on the precipice of disasters," he added.

McNaughton explained his position behind the painting.

"I don't place all the blame on Obama.

On my website I try to explain what each president has done," he said.

"The thing I like about the painting is that it does get people talking."

The painting has done well since it was released.

"It sold thousands," he told CBS Las Vegas.

"I sold many different sizes and editions, and now that we are in an election year I

expect to sell more."

This isn't the first time McNaughton waded into politically charged waters.

Previously, he released "One Nation Under God," a painting depicting Jesus holding

the Constitution and judging several archetypes such as a liberal journalist, a smug college

professor, and another archetype that McNaughton calls "Mr. Hollywood."

Originally from Arizona, McNaugton currently lives in Utah.

He received a full scholarship to Brigham Young University.

Initially he studied art, but switched to design later on.

"I hope my work will create conversation and reach people on a deeper level," he

says on his website.

"I like to use metaphor and multiple levels of meaning to reach my viewer.

If it makes them think and feel, then it is successful."

He later added to CBSLV: "I'm not trying to create an art style.

I want to communicate my ideas.

Isn't that the purpose of art?"

Via YoungCons:

The picture shows Trump crushing the head of a snake under his heel.

The focus of the picture is 'the Forgotten Man' in the center who is seeking to encourage

a sprout to grow from the earth.

That man is a focus of other McNaughton paintings.

McNaughton's 'Forgotten Man' theme coincides with Trump who touts a similar theme, that

he is working in the White House for the forgotten Americans.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders periodically reads letters during White House briefings from

Americans to touch this sentiment.

President Trump's America is the America that I grew up in, the America that I knew

and love and it's good to see it come back, yes it's coming back with a fight but it

is coming back.

This artist's painting has described the two Presidents perfectly in his art.

MSNBC Just Ruined Hillary:Tells Her To Shut Up About Trump-Then Goes For Bill Clinton's Jugular |MK - Duration: 6:47.

MSNBC Just Ruined Hillary Thanksgiving Tells Her To Shut Up About Trump- Then Goes For

Bill Clinton's Jugular.

You know things are bad when you're a liberal and even MSNBC is calling you on your B.S.

One of the great ironies of the 2016 election were Hillary's predictions that following

Donald Trump's loss (which was inevitable, wasn't it?) he'd refuse to accept the

results of the election, calling it "rigged."

Ironically, not only did Hillary rig the 2016 DNC primary, she's also claiming that the

presidential election was rigged against her!

It was the Russians!

Or James Comey!

Wait…..

Fox News!

There's truly no shortage of people and organizations that Hillary is willing to point

the finger at – except herself.

Like she claimed Trump would do if (or in her head, "when") he lost, she's remained

in the media spotlight, already capitalizing on her loss with a book on the election titled

"What Happened."

She truly is the only person who doesn't seem to know.

It's not just conservatives wishing that Hillary would go return to the woods surrounding

her home in Chappaqua – even liberals are getting tired of seeing her.

And why wouldn't they be?

They hate Trump even more – and Hillary is the reason he's President!

And as sexual misconduct accusations against her husband have begun to resurface, it's

become clear that the Clinton's have remained in the public eye for a year too long.

As Yes I'm Right reported, the Clintons free pass is over.

Liberals are finally holding them accountable for their crimes.

Multiple women have accused Bill of sexual assault, and for years their claims were derided.

People are listening now.

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski told viewers Monday Hillary needs to stop blathering about sexual

assault until she's ready to talk about the accusations lodged against her husband.

Hypocrite Hillary went of her way to shame Bill's victims into keeping their mouths

closed.

"Hillary Clinton needs to stop," Brzezinski said.

"'She needs to stop talking about this topic unless Bill Clinton wants to come forward

and apologize for being a sexual harasser, for settling [lawsuits] with women, for what

happened with Monica."

She continued, "it's about time liberals stop defending Bill.

You can't support women and also refuse to believe Bill's accusers.

His actions with Monica Lewinsky alone are enough to mark him as a predator.

Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, sexually harassing someone who is 22 years

old when you're in power is just wrong, and you should go – in real time."

"He needs to apologize as quickly as Al Franken did, as much as Mark Halperin did.

And as much as he wants to…

If you're not going to apologize and it's clear you've done something wrong, please,

please, you the politician and your wife the politician need to not talk about these issues.

Bill Clinton's behavior was accepted.

It was pushed under the rug, and even women defended him.

… And his wife ran for president even though these women who accused him were attacked

in the media, were maligned, or settled [in court]," she concluded.

Watch The Video :

Never expected to hear that on MSNBC of all places, did you?

Me neither – but remember that they've waited nearly two decades after the fact to

admit as much.

Only as countless men of power (starting with those in the entertainment industry) have

found themselves overwhelmed with allegations of sexual misconduct did any of the liberals

finally condemning Bill see fit to do so.

what do you think about this?
