https://www.washingtonpost.com...m_term=.c1b6cedc6585 President Trump’s budget proposal this week would shake the federal government to its core if enacted, culling back numerous programs and expediting a historic contraction of the federal workforce. good Aides say that the president sees a new Washington emerging from the budget process, one that prioritizes the military and homeland security while slashing many other areas, including housing, foreign assistance, environmental programs, public broadcasting and research. Simply put, government would be smaller and less involved in regulating life in America, with private companies and states playing a much bigger role. The federal government is projected to spend $4.091 trillion next year, with roughly two-thirds of that going mostly toward Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, poverty assistance and interest payments on the government debt. This spending is expected to be left untouched in the budget proposal next week. Among Trump’s expected proposals are an increase in military spending of $54 billion, more money to start building a wall along the border between the United States and Mexico, and the creation of new initiatives that expand access to charter schools and other educational programs. Although final numbers remain in flux, his advisers have considered cutting the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s budget by $6 billion, or 14 percent Preliminary budget documents have also shown that Trump advisers have also looked at cutting the Environmental Protection Agency’s staff by about 20 percent and tightening the Commerce Department’s budget by about 18 percent, which would impact climate change research and weather satellite programs There are roughly 2.8 million federal employees | |||

And who do you think will be the loudest detractors, Dem's or the GOPe? My prediction...Both will be hand in hand fighting it. Utterly and completely disgusting. That number needs to be cut in half (at least). ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

I love the idea that President Trump "has" to present evidence when he states that Obama wire-tapped the phones at Trump Tower. As if the word of our president isn't enough to go on. | |||

Given the current state of this country and the number of crazies running rampant, I'm not real comfortable that Spicer was apparently by himself (i.e. unguarded). ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

Was Nixon's word good enough? How about the Bushes? Clinton's? Hadji's? I have no problem with the request. You can trust him/them if you like, but I'll remain cautious. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

Spicer needs to tell reporters to just ask their colleagues at the NY Times about the wiretapping. They reported on it, they must have sources.  “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

The whole MCF over the executive orders regarding immigrants into the USA stinks to high heaven. According to what the constitution says, the president has complete and autonomous power to do what he did on that first EO. All these assholes who keep challenging the EOs need to go back to law school so they MAYBE understand what is written in the constitution and that US code provision. But that assumes they ever went to law school in the first place. I guess I can understand Trump not telling them to piss off and ignore the court order, but it is tough. Yet another example of assholes telling the President what he can, and cannot, do. Probably a good thing I am not president. I would issue orders to our border control forces and tell them that those mentioned in the EOs do not get in.

Napolitano said on Fox that British GCHQ (spy's) are believed to be involved with Trump "wiretapping" while he was Mr. Trump. Explains why Comey and his buddies are so confident in denying they had anything to do with it. Maybe Trump was tipped off from some buddies in the U.K.! | |||

Some of the GCHQ speculation was triggered by: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/arti...y-surprise-zxhgl8k6g 24 Jan 2017 GCHQ chief’s resignation catches spies by surprise Britain’s intelligence services suffered a blow yesterday with the surprise resignation of the head of GCHQ, the electronic eavesdropping centre, after two years in the job. Robert Hannigan, who took charge in November 2014, stepped down for personal reasons which are understood to be linked to a serious family illness | |||

http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/...-for-united-nations/ White House Seeks to Cut Billions in Funding for United Nations State Department staffers have been instructed to seek cuts in excess of 50 percent in U.S. funding for U.N. programs The United States spends about $10 billion a year on the United Nations. It remains unclear whether the full extent of the steeper U.N. cuts will be reflected in the 2018 budget, which will be prepared by the White House Office of Management and Budget, or whether, as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has proposed, the cuts would be phased in over the coming three years. One official close to the Trump administration said Tillerson has been given flexibility to decide how the cuts would be distributed. Trump’s budget plans are encountering strong head wind in Congress, where Democratic and Republican leaders have voiced concerns about imposing steep cuts in the State Department budget. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the president’s budget is “probably not” going to be passed. somebody needs to explain "America First" to McConnell | |||

Agreed. Trump has made a most serious charge. It is reasonable to expect his office to provide some level of substantiation. Silent | |||

Glorious SPAM! |
Personally I don't care if its true or not. I really don't. If it was, would anything be done about it? Nope. Would people be held accountabl? Nope. Just another story that would fizzle and be burried by both sides. Nothing happend with the IRS. Nothing happened with Fast and Furious. Nothing happened with Hillary. And nothing would happen with this, true or not. Quit wasting time with this and keep pushing the agenda. Contine firing Obama loyalists and continue dismantling his regime. | |||
