President Trump’s First Weeks
Ray DiLorenzo
From a NY Magazine article entitled:
‘All the Terrifying Things Donald Trump Did Lately’
“Technically, it’s only been two weeks since Trump became Commander-in-Chief. But for the president’s detractors, it’s felt like centuries – long medieval centuries chock-full of plague, illiteracy, and barbarians running roughshod through the ruins of the old republic. But we aren’t actually living in the dark ages (yet). So we might as well shed some light on what the barbarians have been up to.”
New York Magazine, 2/3/17
Let’s see what “terrifying things” President Trump and his “barbarians” have done lately:
1) Proposed new tax plan
2) Cut income taxes (7 brackets to 3)
3) Lower corporate tax rate to 15%
4) Repatriation rate of 10% (allow multi-national corporations to repatriate trillions of dollars sitting overseas)
5) Nominate Judge Gorsuch to Supreme Court
6) Drafted plan to defeat ISIS
7) Setup task forces to fight drug cartels, reducing violent crime and attacks on police
8) Planning border wall construction
9) Initiate plan to rebuild military
Some of the Executive Orders thus far:
1) Ease the burdens of Obamacare
2) Freeze regulations
3) Withdraw U.S. from Trans Pacific Partnership
4) Federal gov’t hiring freeze
5) Advancing pipelines
6) Stop sanctuary cities
7) Initiate extreme vetting of immigrants from troubled countries
8) Initiated 5 year lobbying ban for administration officials
President Trump is moving at the speed of the private sector – a speed no politician or bureaucrat has ever seen. He is doing what he promised while not being daunted by political opposition. People are stunned. Democrats are in shock while the Republican Congress is still chewing on Trump’s inauguration. Trump is leaving multitudes far behind.
We are witnessing an energy never experienced, a dream never realized, an administration emerging that could redefine good government. Of course, many don’t recognize what they have never seen before.

Dr. King called Warren’s tactic “the old bait and switch” with the race card being played. “People will never look at the issues. People will never see the solutions. They’ll be angry and then [Democrats] can slip [their] agenda in.” Conservative Base

Ninth Circuit Would Allow 9/11 Hijacker to Sue to Come to U.S.
Analysis: The judgment of the Ninth Circuit, upholding the temporary restraining order against President Trump’s recent executive order restricting travel from seven terror-prone countries, would have allowed one of the 9/11 hijackers to sue the government to come to, or stay in, the United States.

Marine Le Pen Will Make France Great Again
Michael Flanagan
Editor’s note: Marine Le Pen is a candidate for the presidency of France. She is currently favored in the polls.
Recently, I traveled to France to speak at a Franco-American friendship gathering assembled to celebrate the inauguration of America’s forty-fifth president. On that trip, I had the pleasure of having a private dinner with Marine Le Pen and with Major General (Ret) Paul Vallely. General Vallely was our host and has long been involved in international affairs as they relate to the United States.
Ms. Le Pen was thoughtful, pleasant, informed and a true daughter of France. She loves her country in that special way that motivates all of us to support her love affair and emulate it in our own lives and for our own country.
Like many Americans, Ms. Le Pen loves everybody but feels that her country is for her countrymen and not a potential residence for anyone in the world who wants to come. Like many Americans, she believes that France has the right and responsibility to carefully select those who should live among them and does not apologize for this.
Ms. Le Pen questions and largely rejects the belief that a thin veneer of overlords known as the EU Parliament and its financial backers should make all of the rules for half a billion people located among the most diverse and differing ethnicity on the earth. She believes that the French should govern France, not a collection of other Europeans assembled from these differing ethnicity.
Ms. Le Pen rejects collectivism in economic terms as well as political ones. She embraces the free-market and trade deals among nations close and far. She would like France to reject the Euro and re-establish the French Franc as Great Britain still uses the British Pound.
Ms. Le Pen also is as perplexed, as many Americans are, that these things are in any way controversial – much less hateful as the left calls them.
Ms. Le Pen is running ahead of the pack in the preliminary elections to be held in April. That election will be shortly followed by the run-off between the top two vote getters. Ms. Le Pen is a shoe-in to be among the top two – in fact, the first.
Interestingly, the second contender will be the right-of-center traditional party, the Republican candidate, Francois Fillon. Because Fillon is plagued with personal controversies, he is fading in the pack. Le Pen is doing all of the right things, and consequently, her numbers are growing daily.
These two contenders on the Right consume well over half of the expected vote. Consequently, as was quoted to me repeatedly in France, “the Left is finished.” The last time the national leader of France was as unpopular as Hollande is now, they cut his head off.
Le Pen has been working very hard on her positions and her image, which has been blighted by past sins of her party, the National Front, and by a biased, left-leaning media. To rebut unfounded attacks on her affection for all Frenchmen, she has secured very favorable statements by Giles-William Goldnadel and by Roger Cukierman, both prominent Jewish leaders in France.
Unlike so many in America, she would be thrilled with an endorsement by our president and believes that his election was the beginning of a long line of leaders all over the world to be cut from the same cloth as President Trump. The Trump Administration has, so far, been reluctant to get into the mix over there, but their is time, if they are so inclined. I hope that they seriously consider an endorsement.
Like Trump, she enjoys the support of a cross-section of France. This may bring out a previously unknown percentage of the vote, until now hidden – a’ la Brexit and Trump.
Young people are enjoying a re-awakening of what it means to be French in its grandest tradition and these folks make up a surprisingly large part of her enthusiastic supporters. The excitement of youth working for something is both infectious and heart-warming.
Marine Le Pen is on the march and I am hopeful for her success in April. It will be a shock to the EU and will embolden so many others in Europe and around the world to re-embrace the nation-state as the best means for a peaceful coexistence in the world.
Michael Flanagan is a former Congressman representing the 5th District of Illinois in the 104th Congress.
