Vows Immediate Immigration Change After New York Attack

President Donald Trump is taking a harder approach to immigration following two recent

terrorist attacks in New York City.

The day after a botched bombing attempt by an Islamic radical from Bangladesh, the president

on Tuesday called for an end to �chain migration� and the visa lottery program.

�We�re gonna end both of them,� he said at the White House.

�We�re going to end them.

Fast.�

�Congress must get involved immediately, and they are involved immediately, and I can

tell you we have tremendous support.�

Arguing the system poses a threat to national security, the president demanded Congress

end immigration preferences for family members of legal U.S. residents, which is how chain

migration typically works.

The announcement comes after 27-year-old Akayed Ullah � a Bangladeshi immigrant who was

living in the United States � allegedly attempted to detonate a bomb in the New York

subway system.

The bomb did not go off as planned, resulting in only minor injuries for several people

standing nearby.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Ullah is a legal permanent resident and was

able to enter the country seven years ago on a visa for children of siblings of U.S.

citizens, The Hill reported.

He reportedly told law enforcement he was inspired by the Islamic State group.

The Monday bombing closely follows another terrorist attack in Manhattan that occurred

in late October.

On October 31, Habibullaevic Saipov allegedly drove a rental truck onto a bike path in Lower

Manhattan, killing eight people and injuring around a dozen others while shouting, �Allahu

akbar.�

Saipov is from Uzbekistan, but has been living in the U.S since 2010.

Law enforcement later found a note where he had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.

�This was an act of terror, and a particularly cowardly act of terror,� New York City Mayor

Bill de Blasio stated after the attack, �aimed at innocent civilians, aimed at people going

about their lives who had no idea what was about to hit them.�

Trump called for an end to the visa lottery program after it was discovered Saipov was

able to immigrate into the country through those means.

At the time, the president derided Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who represents

the state of New York, for being a supporter of the visa lottery.

As Trump noted, the White House has expressed interest in transitioning the U.S. immigration

system into a merit-based program.

The president has demanded the termination of the visa lottery program and chain immigration

as part of a crackdown on soft immigration policies in exchange for a legislative fix

for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, something members of Congress are

currently debating.

We Need Our Military Trump Signs New Budget Into Law - Duration: 4:00.

�We Need Our Military�: Trump Signs New Budget Into Law

President Donald Trump signed into law Tuesday the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act,

which authorizes a $700 billion military budget.

�This historic legislation demonstrates our unwavering commitment to our men and women

in uniform � the greatest fighting force in the history of the world,� Trump said

at the signing ceremony.

�This legislation represents a momentous step in rebuilding our military and securing

our future for our children.�

However, this new budget won�t be put in play until lawmakers roll back the 2011 legislation

that restricts federal spending.

With this law still currently in place, defense spending is capped at $549 billion, The Associated

Press reported.

�Now Congress must finish the job by eliminating the defense sequester and passing a clean

appropriations bill,� Trump stated.

�I think it�s going to happen.

We need our military.�

Congress has until Dec. 22 to come up with a broader government funding bill or risk

a partial government shutdown.

For the budget bill, Republicans want an increase in military funding and Democrats want equal

increases in both Pentagon and domestic non-defense programs, according to CBS News.

In his speech, Trump asked the Democrats in Congress to �drop their shutdown threats

and descend clean funding and a clean funding bill to my desk that fully funds our great

military.�

Protecting our country should always be a bipartisan issue, just like today�s legislation,�

he said.

The NDAA also gives troops a 2.4 percent pay raise.

At the signing ceremony, Trump took the time to address the two terror attacks that have

hit New York City this year, pointing out that the first attacker came to America through

the visa lottery and the other through chain migration.

�The lottery system and chain migration � we�re going to end them fast,� he

said.

The 2018 defense bill allots $634 billion for basic defense funding, and the remaining

$66 billion for overseas operations.

The legislation authorizes the military to purchase 90 Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jets

and 14 Navy ships, according to the Washington Examiner.

The Missile Defense Agency has been allocated $12.3 billion, as America continues the �campaign

to create maximum pressure on the vile dictatorship in North Korea,� Trump said.

As well as an increased budget for the training of U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria, the new

bill also blocks any attempt to move anyone held at the military prison at Guantanamo

Bay, Cuba, to the U.S.

�This legislation will enhance our readiness, expand our modernized � and modernize our

forces, and help provide our service members with the tools that they need to fight and

to win.

We will fight and win,� Trump said.

�But hopefully, with this, we won�t have to fight because people will not be wanting

to fight with us.�

New revelations about anti-Trump texts as Deputy AG faces hot seat on FBI, Russia probe

Developing now, Thursday, Dec. 14, 2017:

Watchdog group reveals how FBI agents' anti-Trump texts came to light – while Deputy AG Rod

Rosenstein gets grilled on Capitol Hill Republican Roy Moore posts a YouTube video,

refusing to concede defeat in Alabama's Senate election

Congressional Republicans reach a deal on tax reform, clearing the way for a final vote

Tavis Smiley rips PBS after network suspends distribution of his show following allegations

of sexual misconduct THE LEAD STORY: The anti-Trump texts between

two former members of Robert Mueller's team investigating Russian interference in the

2016 presidential election first surfaced after a Justice Department watchdog requested

messages from the government-issued phones of several FBI employees involved in the Hillary

Clinton email investigation ... Peter Strzok, a former deputy to the assistant director

for counterintelligence at the FBI, played a key role in the email probe, changing former

FBI Director James Comey's early draft language about Clinton's actions from "grossly negligent"

to "extremely careless" and conducting the FBI interview of Clinton over the July 4 weekend

in 2016.

According to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, "politically oriented" text messages

between Strzok and Lisa Page were found in his office's initial search.

That led to the watchdog requesting all messages between the two through the end of November

2016.

Those messages were produced by the FBI on July 20 of this year and Mueller and Rosenstein

were informed about them a week later, on July 27.

NOT GIVING UP: Republican Roy Moore is still not conceding defeat after Democrat Doug Jones

claimed victory in Alabama's special election for a U.S. Senate seat ... In a video posted

to YouTube on Wednesday night, Moore says his campaign is still waiting for the election

results to be certified by the Alabama secretary of state.

Moore notes that military and provisional ballots remained to be counted, and laments

that the race was "tainted by over $50 million from outside groups who want to retain power

and their corrupt ideology."

Election results showed that Jones defeated Moore by 49.9 percent to 48.4 percent.

TAX CUTS FOR CHRISTMAS?: House and Senate GOP leaders have forged an agreement on a

sweeping overhaul of the nation's tax laws, paving the way for final votes next week to

slash taxes for businesses, give many Americans modest cuts and deliver President Trump's

first major legislative accomplishment ... Top GOP aides, speaking on the condition of anonymity,

said lawmakers had reached an agreement in principle on the final package.

The broad parameters of the deal call for cutting the top tax rate for the wealthy from

39.6 percent to 37 percent, slashing the corporate rate to 21 percent and allowing homeowners

to deduct interest on the first $750,000 of a new mortgage.

One congressional aide said the deal was contingent on whether late changes to the bill still

complied with budget rules adopted by both the House and the Senate.

'BIASED AND SLOPPY': Tavis Smiley, the longtime talk show host, blasted PBS for its "so-called

investigation" into his alleged sexual misconduct ... Smiley, whose nightly program has aired

on PBS since 2004, flatly denied PBS's accusations that he had behaved inappropriately in the

workplace.

Variety reported that the allegations involved sexual misconduct with co-workers.

Smiley said on Facebook he had "never groped, coerced, or exposed myself inappropriately

to any workplace colleague in my entire broadcast career, covering 6 networks over 30 years,"

adding for emphasis: "Never.

Ever.

Never."

BREAKING NEWS – TRUMP JUST DID IT! Obama Ready To Start A RIOT! MK Today - Duration: 4:57.

BREAKING NEWS – TRUMP JUST DID IT!

Obama Ready To Start A RIOT!

President Donald Trump is on a mission to make America great again and has been actively

doing that daily since taking office one year ago.

The overhaul of changes has not gone over well with his detractors, especially his predecessor,

Barack Hussein Obama.

Obama worked hard to destroy our country, especially in one particularly sick way that

Trump could not ignore.

He just made a massive change for the betterment of those who deserve it most, much to the

discontent of Obama and the Democrat party.

It's only a matter of time now before the racist rioters take the streets and start

destroying things to get what they feel they're deserved.

Not on Trump's watch!

The military was greatly diminished and disregarded under Obama who repeatedly proved that he

has zero respect for these brave men and women and the important sacrifice they make in protecting

our nation.

For eight years, Obama did everything he could to diminish our military's capabilities

and disrespect our soldiers.

His disdain for them and disregard for their sacrifice evident in everything he did from

making them scrap for aircraft replacement parts in a junkyard to reducing them to his

personal servants who hold his umbrella.

All this was going on while he was giving hoards of American cash to our enemies, making

them stronger while weakening our defense against them.

We're now seeing what a difference a patriotic president makes.

Among the most important Americans in this country to our president and first family

who have repeatedly proved it, are our military members and their families.

Both Donald and Melania have made great effort to show their appreciation for these heroes,

every chance they get.

This latest move is probably Trump's biggest yet and our Service Members and their families

certainly deserve it a lot more than welfare gluttons do who Obama catered to.

Conservative Tribune reports:

While former President Obama dramatically downsized our military, President Donald Trump

has delivered on his promise to dramatically change American soldiers' lives for the

better.

On Tuesday, Trump signed into law the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act, a $700

billion defense budget that will dramatically increase military spending and capabilities.

The massive budget increase will give American soldiers the largest pay raise in more than

seven years.

According to American Military News, the budget signed by Trump will give U.S. troops a 2.4

percent pay raise and create additional opportunities for employment in the military to ensure America

continues to have the strongest military in the world.

"This legislation represents a momentous step toward rebuilding our military and securing

the future for our children," Trump said Tuesday at the White House while signing the

measure into law, according to the Washington Examiner.

"I applaud the work of the members of both parties who came together to pass the National

Defense Authorization Act, which passed with overwhelming bipartisan support— something

that sounds very nice to my ears."

Trump's timing on this was no coincidence.

He wanted to ensure the best for our military in the wake of another terrorist attack on

our soil, knowing that they are crucial to protecting our nation from this threat that

his predecessor brought here.

That comes at no small cost or sacrifice and he does not spare anything when it comes to

protecting America and taking care of those whose job it is to do that.

"In the wake of the failed terrorist attack in New York on Monday, Trump stressed the

importance of ensuring the U.S. is fully capable of protecting itself from operations such

as the one carried out by a radical Islamic terrorist," Conservative Tribune continued.

"These attacks underscore the dangers we face from around the globe, the National Defense

Authorization Act could not come at a more opportune or important time," Trump said.

"History teaches us that when you weaken your defenses, you invite aggression.

The best way to prevent conflict of any kind is to be prepared.

Only when the good are strong will peace prevail."

This also comes at a time when we're on the brink of World War III which will be brought

on by North Korea's improved ballistic missiles that have the capability of reaching America.

There are still a few of Obama's hurdles he has to cross before the funds can be freed

up, which were probably put there by him on purpose.

"NDAA sets the budget but does not provide funding, which Congress must do.

Trump urged Congress to pass legislation that will fund the defense budget," American

Military News pointed out.

"Now Congress must finish the job by eliminating the defense sequester and passing a clean

appropriations bill," Trump said, according to the Washington Examiner.

"I think it's gonna happen.

We need our military, it's gotta be perfecto."

Trump has built our military back up to its former glory before Barack Obama stepped in

to destroy it, just as he promised he would when he vowed to always support them.

Trump: Social

media the only way for me to 'get the truth out'

President Trump

in an early morning tweet on Wednesday said that his use of social of media is "the only

way to get the truth out," adding that the mainstream media is a "joke."

"Wow, more than 90% of Fake News Media coverage of me is negative, with numerous forced retractions

of untrue stories.

Hence my use of Social Media, the only way to get the truth out.

Much of Mainstream Media has become a joke!" the president tweeted, tagging "Fox and Friends."

The president was referring a media research study that was cited on "Fox and Friends"

on Wednesday morning.

Relations between the administration and the media have worsened in recent days after the

White House hit journalists for a series of corrections made by media outlets such as

CNN and ABC News.

The president slammed the two outlets during a campaign rally in Florida on Friday after

CNN was forced to correct a report saying Donald Trump Jr. had received access to hacked

Democratic emails from WikiLeaks more than a week before they were leaked to the public.

ABC News had previously reported that former national security adviser Michael Flynn would

testify that Trump had directed him to make contact with the Russians during the campaign,

which they later corrected, saying it had happened after the election.

"Did you see all of the correction the media has been making?" Trump said.

"They've been doing that all year.

They never apologize.

Maybe that comes with being the president, I don't know."

The president also targeted Washington Post reporter Dave Weigel on Saturday, calling

for the publication to fire him after he tweeted a photo of an empty arena before a Trump rally

in Florida that had been taken hours before the event started.

Weigel apologized for the tweet, which he had deleted after Daily Mail political editor

David Martosko told him he had gotten it wrong.

Tensions boiled over in the White House press briefing on Monday, in which press secretary

Sarah Huckabee Sanders said media outlets were "purposely putting out information that

you know to be false."

�It�s not an honest mistake when you are purposely putting out information that you

know to be false or when you�re taking information that hasn�t been validated, that hasn�t

been offered any credibility and that has been continually denied by a number of people,

including people with direct knowledge of an incident,� she said during a heated exchange

with reporters.

World War 3: Donald Trump 'will be forced to launch all out WAR' with North Korea - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 3:44.

World War 3: Donald Trump 'will be forced to launch all out WAR' with North Korea

DONALD Trump will be forced to launch into all-out war with North Korea if nothing changes,

a Republican senator has warned.

A war could be sparked if Pyongyang continues to ignore international demand to end weapons

test, Lindsey Graham a Republican senator revealed.

He said: "I don't know how to say it any more direct: If nothing changes, Trump's

gonna have to use the military option, because time is running out."

Donald Trump is "100 per cent made up his mind" that he will not allow Kim to reach

the phase where he is able to marry an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the

US and a miniaturised nuclear warhead, the senator said.

There is a 70 per cent chance of war if Kim Jong-un tests another nuclear weapon, he warned.

With experts predicting war with North Korea would lead to massive amounts of casualties

on the peninsular Mr Graham revealed the likelihood of war could massively increase.

He said: "I would say there's a three in 10 chance we use the military option."

The former Air Force serviceman said the chances of war would jump if Kim tested another nuke.

He said: "I would say 70 per cent."

The Republican was able to make his prediction following a round of golf with the President

in which they discussed the next move for the US in the troubled region.

Mr Graham revealed "Rocket Man" Kim comes up "all the time" during his golfing sessions

with the leader of the free world.

The senator said: "War with North Korea is an all-out war against the regime"

"There is no surgical strike option.

"Their nuclear programme is too redundant, it's too hardened, and you gotta assume

the worst, not the best.

"So if you ever use the military option, it's not to just neutralise their nuclear

facilities—you gotta be willing to take the regime completely down."

Painting a gloomy picture for Kim's future Mr Graham said that although tensions have

not quite reached tipping point yet after another test "all bets are off".

Mr Graham called for direct talks with North Korea's despotic regime to prevent the breakout

of war.

He even suggested an unprecedented face-to-face meeting between Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump

to iron out a peace deal.

"I'm not taking anything off the table to avoid a war.

When they write the history of the times, I don't want them to say, 'Hey, Lindsey

Graham wouldn't even talk to the guy.'"

Outlining solutions that would stop short of all-out war Mr Graham said he did not care

if the communist state became a Chinese puppet state.

The Air Force veteran said: "I don't care who [the Chinese] put in charge of North Korea,

as long as that person doesn't want to create a massive nuclear arsenal to threaten America.

"There are a couple ways for this to end: The Chinese could kill the guy if they wanted

to, or they could just stop oil shipments to North Korea, which would bring Kim Jong-un

economy to its knees.
