World War three alert the real reasons Trump is going to war in Syria u.s.

President Donald Trump has warned Syria and their allies Russia he is

considering a military strike in retaliation for last week's SiC chemical

attack . but one political commentator believes mr. Trump's motivation for any

military response is more than simply to teach Bashar al-assad a lesson political

website the durán believes there are several real reasons mr. Trump wants to

go to war with Syria ranging from the petro dollar to his alleged affair with

stormy Daniels writer Alex Christopher who went as far as to say the US

president knows the chemical attack in Syria which left dozens dead and more

than 500 injured is a hoax and false flag but he said mr. Trump was happy to

exploit it for his own gain . mr. christopher who suggested the real

reason why the United States wanted to begin World War 3 could be down to the

petro dollar which is seen as a threat to the US economy he said the last two

nations that tried to introduce a currency to compete against the petro

dollar were Libya and Iraq the website also suggested mr. Trump was using the

Syria crisis as a distraction from his alleged affair with stormy Daniels who

said the president paid her hush money to keep quiet about a dalliance in 2006

. another possible motive mr. Christopher who suggested was the

military-industrial complex in which a country insures a war takes place in

order to provide funding for its arms industries and the site claimed mr.

Trump's new friendship with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin

Salman bin Abdulaziz al-saud could be another reason for him wanting a war he

claimed Saudi Arabia is training al-qaeda terrorists in Syria regardless

of the motive mr. Trump seems intent on bringing the world to the brink of World

War 3 . earlier this week mr. Trump sent a tweet suggesting a missile attack on

Syria would take place in response to the suspected chemical weapons attack on

anti-government rebels in Syria on Sat which killed dozens and injured more

than 500 people it was attributed to Syrian leader

Bashar al-assad who rejects the claims he said Russia vows to shoot down any

and all missiles fired at Syria get ready Russia because they will be

coming nice and new and smart you shouldn't be partners with a gas killing

animal who kills his people and enjoys it however today the US president

appeared to backtrack slightly he posted never said when an attack on Syria would

take place could be very soon or not so soon at all

any event the United States under my administration has done a great job of

ridding the region of is is where is our Thank You America Prime Minister Theresa

May held an emergency cabinet meeting this afternoon to discuss the crisis in

Syria and the potential for imminent British military strikes against the

Assad regime thanks for watch please share like comment this video and

Remarks: Donald Trump Announces Missile Strikes Against Syria - April 13, 2018 - Duration: 7:48.

My fellow Americans.

A short time ago, I ordered the United States Armed Forces to launch precision strikes on

targets associated with the chemical weapons capabilities of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.

A combined operation, with the armed forces of France and the United Kingdom, is now underway.

We thank them both.

Tonight, I want to speak with you about why we have taken this action.

One year ago, Assad launched a savage chemical weapons attack against his own innocent people.

The United States responded with 58 missile strikes that destroyed 20 percent of the Syrian

Air Force.

Last Saturday, the Assad regime again deployed chemical weapons to slaughter innocent civilians,

this time in the town of Douma near the Syrian capital of Damascus.

This massacre was a significant escalation in a pattern of chemical weapons use by that

very terrible regime.

The evil and the despicable attacked left mothers and fathers infants and children thrashing

in pain and gasping for air.

These are not the actions of a man.

They are crimes of a monster instead.

Following the horrors of World War I a century ago, civilized nations joined together to

ban chemical warfare.

Chemical weapons are uniquely dangerous, not only because they inflict gruesome suffering,

but because even small amounts can unleash widespread devastation.

The purpose of our actions tonight is to establish a strong deterrent against the production,

spread, and use of chemical weapons.

Establishing this deterrent is a vital national security interest of the United States.

The combined American, British, and French response to these atrocities will integrate

all instruments of our national power: military economic and diplomatic.

We are prepared to sustain this response until the Syrian regime stops its use of prohibited

chemical agents.

I also have a message tonight for the two governments most responsible for supporting,

equipping, and financing the criminal Assad regime.

To Iran and to Russia I ask: what kind of a nation wants to be associated with the mass

murder of innocent men, women, and children.

The nations of the world can be judged by the friends they keep.

No nation can succeed in the long run by promoting rogue states, brutal tyrants, and murderous

dictators.

In 2013, President Putin and his government promised the world that they would guarantee

the elimination of Syria's chemical weapons.

Assad's recent attack, and today's response, are the direct result of Russia's failure

to keep that promise.

Russia must decide if it will continue down this dark path, or if it will join with civilized

nations as a force for stability and peace.

Hopefully, some day we'll get along with Russia, and maybe even Iran, but maybe not.

I will say this: the United States has a lot to offer, with the greatest and most powerful

economy in the history of the world.

In Syria, the United States, with but a small force being used to eliminate what is left

of ISIS, is doing what is necessary to protect the American people.

Over the last year, nearly 100 percent of the territory

once controlled by the so-called ISIS caliphate in Syria and Iraq has been liberated and eliminated.

The United States has also rebuilt our friendships across the Middle East.

We have asked our partners to take greater responsibility for securing their home region,

including contributing large amounts of money for the resources, equipment, and all of the

anti-ISIS effort.

Increased engagement from our friends, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar,

Egypt, and others can ensure that Iran does not profit from the eradication of ISIS.

America does not seek an indefinite presence in Syria.

Under no circumstances.

As other nations step up their contributions, we look forward to the day when we can bring

our warriors home, and great warriors they are.

Looking around a very troubled world, Americans have no illusions.

We cannot purge the world of evil or act everywhere there is tyranny.

No amount of American blood or treasure can produce lasting peace and security in the

Middle East.

It's a troubled place.

We will try to make it better, but it is a troubled place.

The United States will be a partner and a friend.

But the fate of the region lies in the hands of its own people.

In the last century we look straight into the darkest places of the human soul.

We saw the anguish that can be unleashed, and the evil that can take hold.

By the end of World War I, more than one million people had been killed or injured by chemical

weapons.

We never want to see that ghastly specter return.

So today, the nations of Britain, France, and the United States of America have marshaled

their righteous power against barbarism and brutality.

Tonight, I ask all Americans to say a prayer for our noble warriors and our allies as they

carry out their missions.

We pray that God will bring comfort to those suffering in Syria.

We pray that God will guide the whole region toward a future of dignity and of peace.

And we pray that God will continue to watch over and bless the United States of America.

Thank you and good night.

Thank you.

PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST CUT OFF WELFARE CHEATS – AND SOME PEOPLE ARE FURIOUS - Duration: 3:53.

PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST CUT OFF WELFARE CHEATS – AND SOME PEOPLE ARE FURIOUS

President Trump just signed an executive order that will make it much harder for welfare

cheats to get paid.

The welfare reform changes will force able-bodied workers to find a job, and has the potential

to save taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.

Some however, aren't happy about it at all.

The executive order directs the federal government to tighten requirements for work to get welfare

benefits.

The Hill reports.

President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order calling for federal agencies to establish

or strengthen existing work requirements for certain individuals who benefit from federal

welfare programs.

The White House issued a memo that argued those who rely on welfare would have an easier

time achieving economic mobility through strengthened work requirements where they already exist,

and the creation of new ones where applicable.

"The Federal Government should do everything within its authority to empower individuals

by providing opportunities for work, including by investing in Federal programs that are

effective at moving people into the workforce and out of poverty," the executive order

states.

The new requirements would apply to those who are able to work, according to the memo.

The order does not detail which specific programs will be subject to such requirements.

Instead, Trump's executive order calls on the heads of the departments of Treasury,

Agriculture, Commerce, Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation

and Education to review public assistance programs within their agencies.

Americans should expect to see changes implemented within a short time.

Those department heads are expected to submit a report within 90 days with a list of recommended

changes to achieve Trump's goals, according to the executive order.

The order also says the federal government will streamline services, review existing

services and consolidate or eliminate programs that are ineffective or overlap in services.

The Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families embraced

the executive order and said it will allow the agency to take "aggressive action"

toward enforcing work requirements.

"Strengthening work requirements for welfare recipients is a critical element of moving

welfare recipients from dependency to self-sufficiency," Steven Wagner, the acting assistant secretary

for the organization, said in a statement.

Some GOP lawmakers have advocated for stronger work requirements to eliminate a perceived

dependence on welfare.

The Trump administration last month approved Arkansas's request to impose work requirements

on certain Medicaid beneficiaries.

Angela Helm at The Root, a website for the African American community, believes Trump's

motives are racist.

Trump also reportedly wants to change the word "welfare" to include not only cash

payments but also food and medical benefits (SNAP and Medicaid).

Or he just doesn't give AF.

And I quote: "Mr. Trump, several aides said, is unconcerned—or perhaps even unaware—of

the distinction between cash assistance and other safety-net programs … he calls them

all welfare."

And we know what connotations go along with that.

Jacqueline Kennedy to Melania Trump | What First Ladies Wore For Inaugural Events? - Duration: 2:36.

Clothing can give a sense of a person's physical presence.

It helps make even the most distant historical figure feel closer.

Clothing and accessories illustrate the personal style of a first lady or the official style

of a presidential administration.

And they can represent the events to which they were worn—from inaugural balls, state

dinners, and public appearances to everyday life in the White House.

The ladies of the First Family never lacked in the fashion department.

So, here's an ode to the 50 years of inaugural fashion.

John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy arrive at the National Guard Armory for the inaugural

ball in, January 1961.

Ethel Frankau of Bergdorf Custom Salon designed the first lady's sleeveless gown and matching

cape.

Lady Bird Johnson in her inaugural gown designed by John Moore, January 1965.

She ordered the dress through Neiman Marcus.

Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter dance at the inaugural ball, January 1977.

Rosalynn Carter's gold-trimmed dress was the same she wore to her husband's gubernatorial

inauguration six years earlier, designed by Mary Matisse.

Ronald and Nancy Reagan pose in the White House red room before attending their inaugural

balls in 1981 and 1985.

Nancy Reagan wore John Galanos-designed gowns for both occasions.

First lady Laura Bush waves as she arrives on stage with President George W. Bush at

theTexas Ball, January 2001.

Laura chose a gown by Texas designer Michael Faircloth, and adorned the outfit with a pearl

necklace.

President Clinton takes the oath of office as daughter Chelsea Clinton and first lady

Hillary Rodham Clinton look on, January 1997.

President Barack Obama walks with his wife Michelle after he was sworn in as the 44th

President, January 2009.

Michelle is wearing a custom-made ensemble by Cuban-born American designer Isabel Toledo.

Arriving at the 58th presidential pre-inauguration candlelight dinner, first lady Melania Trump

stepped out on the stage wearing a stunning sparkling-gold gown created exclusively for

her from Lebanese-born New York-based designer Reem Acra.

Pissed Off Gowdy Just Humiliated Comey After What He Did To Trump And Melania - Duration: 7:51.

Pissed Off Gowdy Just Humiliated Comey After What He Did To Trump And Melania

On Friday South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy blasted James Comey over the former

FBI director's forthcoming book which is oddly enough called "Beneath the Dignity"

of the bureau.

Gowdy made his thoughts known on Fox & Friends this morning when he said: "I can't think

of anyone who's done a better job of politicizing the FBI than [Comey] has in the last 36 to

48 hours, I think it's sad."

People who have already read the book have criticised Comey for even going as far as

criticizing President Trump's appearance.

And in one section Comey even writes that during an intelligence briefing the Republican's

"face appeared slightly orange, with bright white half-moons under his eyes where I assumed

he placed small tanning goggles, and impressively coiffed, bright blond hair, which upon close

inspection looked to be all his."

Also adding I remember wondering, how long it must take him in the morning to get that

done."

Comey who himself looks like a kind of giraffe measuring a towering 6'8″ also writes

that he made a "point" to notice Trump's hand size, who is only 6'3″

But what's perhaps the worst part of this book that reads like something out of yellow

press news is that Comey also goes on to describe President Trump as a "mob boss" who is

"untethered to the truth."

Did anyone ever think we would ever see the day that the deep state would stoop so low

as to have a former FBI director who was fired write a book making fun of a sitting president?

Can anyone imagine what would have happened if this would have been done to Barack Obama

who really was a gangster in many ways, to the point of even exercising his executive

power and saying "I have a pen and a phone," as a threat if the GOP wouldn't go along

with his shenanigans?

Here is more on James Comey's legacy via Vox:

"Back in October 2016, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) called then-FBI Director James Comey's

decision to look into new Hillary Clinton emails just days before the election "appalling."

Her comment reflected the general sentiment among Democrats at the time.

But in May 2017, President Donald Trump fired Comey because the FBI wouldn't end an investigation

into a former top Trump aide's Russia ties.

Democrats, almost in unison, openly warned that dismissing Comey meant Trump may have

tried to obstruct justice.

And after reports surfaced that Trump had called Comey a "nut job," Feinstein herself

defended the former FBI director, saying that "Comey is no way, shape, or form a nut job."

As Comey now sits down for high-profile interview after high-profile interview to promote his

new book, expect the good feelings from Democrats and the media alike to keep coming.

Comey's new memoir, A Higher Loyalty, is due to come out on Tuesday.

The already-released excerpts indicate that it's highly critical of Trump, and the tome

will assuredly inspire more Comey fandom on television, radio, and print.

It may lead to even more arguments, like Damon Linker's in the Week last June, "that

the former FBI director is a bona fide American hero."

But painting Comey that way misses a lot.

He led the FBI when the bureau possibly mishandled its investigation into Clinton's use of

a private email server when she was secretary of state, perhaps costing Hillary Clinton

the election.

He was also the FBI director when he oversaw increased surveillance of Muslim communities

and a culture of suspicion against Muslims and used suspect methods to stop terrorists.

Put together, as the Washington Post's Margaret Sullivan noted on March 31, Comey is undeserving

of the veneration and softball questions he will surely field in the coming days in response

to his much-hyped new book.

That, in part, is because he did a successful job at cultivating his holier-than-thou persona,

says Matthew Miller, a top Justice Department spokesperson in the Obama administration.

"He wanted to position himself as the hero," Miller told me, "the man of integrity who

was going to tell the American people how it is — the last virgin in town."

The problem, though, is that the media fell for it.

How Comey handled the Clinton probe

At around 11 am on July 5, 2016, then-FBI Director Comey gave a surprise televised address

— thrusting him into the national spotlight.

"This will be an unusual statement in at least a couple ways," he admitted from the

FBI's lectern.

"I am going to include more detail about our process than I ordinarily would, because

I think the American people deserve those details in a case of intense public interest.The

"case" in question was the FBI's probe into Clinton's use of a personal email server

to conduct State Department business.

Investigators wanted to know if Clinton had handled classified information on an insecure

network, which could make it easier for foreign adversaries to steal top secrets.

But Comey recommended no criminal charges to the Justice Department, instead reprimanding

her as "extremely careless" after finding 110 emails containing classified information

among the 30,000 reviewed messages.

The following day, then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch accepted Comey's choice not to charge

Clinton.

(Lynch had just days before that decision met with Bill Clinton on an Arizona tarmac,

leading to calls for her recusal from the case.)

Comey, in effect, closed the case.

According to an April 2017 New York Times report about Comey's actions during the

election, he chose this approach for a few reasons.

First, to let those people within the FBI who were upset with Clinton's conduct know

that Comey heard and understood their concerns.

But second, and most importantly, he aimed to shield the bureau from GOP-led attacks

that the FBI took it easy on Clinton.

Those attacks came anyway.

"This announcement defies explanation.

No one should be above the law," House Speaker Paul Ryan tweeted after Comey's remarks.

"It appears damage is being done to the rule of law."

But the more controversial moment came three months later.

As part of a probe into former Rep. Anthony Weiner's (D-NY) sexually explicit conversations

with a minor, the FBI found some of Clinton's emails on his laptop.

That was no coincidence: Huma Abedin, Weiner's wife and a close Clinton aide at the State

Department, backed up thousands of emails on her husband's computer.

Some agents believed Clinton had hidden emails from them, adding to suspicions that the messages

on Weiner's laptop might just be the missing emails."

New Policy At The Justice Department! President Trump Just Announced "Shock-And-Awe" Mexico Move - Duration: 3:47.

New Policy At The Justice Department!

President Trump Just Announced "Shock-And-Awe" Mexico Move

Donald has been attempting to play the Washington legislative issues game, yet it would seem

that he's finished playing nice.

An "army of illegals" intending to strike the border would be sufficient to set off

any President focused on ensuring the American individuals.

All things considered, it would appear that Trump is tired and tired of illegals slipping

over our border, with liberals and the Sanctuary States like California doing their best to

tie his hands.

Since Donald is declaring another approach at the Justice Department, and it's the

harshest move Americans have ever observed from a sitting President.

Yet, it's obviously intended to secure Americans and their well-deserved tax dollars.

Via Fox News:

The Justice Department announced Friday that it is implementing a "zero-tolerance"

policy for prosecuting those attempting to enter the U.S. illegally — the latest in

a series of measures by the Trump administration to combat illegal immigration.

The latest move by the Justice Department orders U.S. attorneys along the border to

adopt a policy of prosecuting all referrals from DHS of illegal entry and attempted illegal

entry into the U.S.

Trump is finished with being a Commander-In-Chief whose orders are disregarded—now all U.S.

Lawyers will be required to prosecute border-crossing illegals, no special case.

This is all the more imperative since liberals appear to have encouraged illegals to cross

in significantly more noteworthy numbers in the previous year:The Trump administration

says the number of attempted border crossings has increased by 203 percent since March 2017.

That is completely unsatisfactory, and the President did not mince words when he declared

the condition of illicit movement in America:

"We don't have laws, we have catch-and-release," he said Tuesday.

"You catch and then you immediately release and people come back years later for a court

case, except they virtually never come back."

All things considered, all that is evolving now, and Donald's tone ought to be sufficient

with the goal that nobody botches how genuine he is:

Our Border Laws are very weak while those of Mexico & Canada are very strong.

Congress must change these Obama era, and other, laws NOW!

The Democrats stand in our way – they want people to pour into our country unchecked….CRIME!

We will be taking strong action today.

— Donald J. Trump SAID

Got that, Democrats?

Mexican illegals?

It's a CRIME to cross into our borders unlawfully, anticipating living off our territory and

welfare, all while obliterating our Sanctuary Cities (better believe it, they merit it,

however, it doesn't detract from the way that San Francisco is a waste stack since

they're giving illegals access).

President Trump, bless your heart.

Thank you for going to bat for American rights, American safety, and American law.

Thank you for getting down to business with the Democrats, not at all like the no-spine

Republicans like Paul Ryan.

Thank you for calling up our troops and our Justice Department to ensure our sovereign

country.

Trump lawyer seeks restraining order over raids - Duration: 0:52.

President Donald Trump's personal attorney reportedly wants a federal judge to stop investigators

from using information obtained during FBI raids on his office, hotel room and home.

According to several reports, Michael Cohen is looking to get a temporary restraining

order in response to the warrant that authorized the searches, which took place earlier this

week.

Outlets say a hearing to address Cohen's restraining order request is scheduled for Friday.

During the raids, agents reportedly collected emails, tax documents and business records

— including information about a payment made to adult film star Stephanie Clifford,

aka Stormy Daniels.

It's unclear what the FBI was looking for.

But Cohen's lawyer told The New York Times the FBI searched Cohen's office, at least

in part, because of a referral from special counsel Robert Mueller.

It doesn't appear the raid was directly tied to Mueller's investigation.

President Trump announces "precision" strike against Syria in response to chemical weapon attack - Duration: 7:49.

The president is about to come

up to the podium I'm told

addressing the nation on the

situation in Syria and what his

decision has been.

Let's listen in.

>>> My fellow Americans.

A short time ago I ordered the

United States armed forces to

launch from sigs strikes on

associated with the chemical

weapons capabilities of Syrian

dictator.

A combined operation with the

armed force of France and the

United Kingdom is now underway.

We thank them both.

Tonight I want to speak with you

about why we have taken this

action.

One year ago Assad launched a

savage chemical weapons attack

against his own innocent people.

The United States responded with

58 missile strikes that

destroyed 20% of the Syrian air

force.

Last Saturday the Assad regime

again deployed chemical weapons

to slaughter nent civilians near

the Syrian capitol of Damascus.

It was a patternover chemical

weapons use by the very terrible

regime.

The evil and despicable attack

left mothers and fathers,

infants and children thrashing

in pain and gasping for air.

These are not the actions of a

man.

They are crimes of a monster

instead.

Following the horrors of world

War I a century ago civilized

nations joined together to ban

chemical warfare.

Chemical weapons are uniquely

dangerous not only because they

inflict suffering but because

even small amounts with unleash

widespread devastation.

The purpose of our actions

tonight is to establish a strong

deterrent against the

production, spread and use of

chemical weapons.

Establishing this deterrent is a

vital interest of the united

States.

The combined response to these

atrocities will integrate all

instruments of our power

economic, and diplomatic.

We are prepared to sustain this

response until the Syrian regime

stops its use of prohibited

chemical agents.

I also have a message tonight

for two governments most

responsible for supporting,

equipping and financing the

criminal Assad regime.

To Iran and to Russia I ask what

kind of a nation wants to be

association with the mass murder

of innocent men, women and

children?

The nations of the world can be

judged by the friends they keep.

No nation can succeed in the

long run by promoting brutal

tyrants and murderous dictators.

In 2013 president Putin and his

government promised the world

they would guarantee the

elimination of Syria's chemical

weapons.

Assad's chemical attack and

today's response are the direct

result of Russia to keep that

promise.

Russia must decide if it will

continue down this dark path or

if it will join with civilized

nations as a force for stability

and peace.

Hopefully some day we'll get

along with Russia and maybe even

Iran, but maybe not.

I will say this, the united

States has a lot to offer with

the greatest and most powerful

economy in the history of the

world.

In Syria the United States with

but a small force being used to

eliminate what is left of ISIS

is doing what is necessary to

protect the American people.

Over the last year nearly 100%

of the territory once controlled

by the so called ISIS kal fate

in Syria and Iraq has been

liberated and eliminated.

The United States has also

rebuilt our friendships across

the Middle East.

We have asked our partners to

take greater responsibility for

securing their home region

including contributing large

amounts of money for the

resources, equipment and all of

the anti ISIS effort.

Increased engagement from our

friends including Saudi Arabia

and others can ensure that Iran

does not profit from the we rat

case of ISIS.

America does not seek an

indefinite presence in Syria

under no circumstances.

As other nations step up their

contributions we look forward to

the day when we can bring our

warriors home and great warriors

they are.

Looking around our very troubled

world Americans have no

illusions.

We cannot perj the world of evil

or act everywhere there is tier

any.

It's a troubled place.

We will try to make it better

but it is a troubled place.

The United States will be a

partner and a friend but the

fate of the region lies in the

hands of its own people.

In the last century we looked

straight into the darkest places

of the human soul.

We saw the anguish that can be

unleashed and the evil that can

take hold.

By the end of World War I more

than 1 million people had been

killed or injured by chemical

weapons.

We never want to see that gasly

specter return.

They have marshalled their

righteous power against

brutality.

Tonight I ask all Americans to

say a prayer for our noble

warriors and our allies as they

carry out their missions.

We pray that god will bring

comfort to those suffering in

Syria.

We pray that god there guide the

whole region of dignity and

peace.

We pray that god will continue

to watch over and bless the
