Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that “Television Trump” is very different from the real President Trump.

“As I see it, Television Trump is very different from the real person,” Putin said Saturday at a press conference. “He is absolutely concrete, absolutely adequately perceives the interlocutor, quite quickly analyzes, answers questions or draws from the discussions some new elements.

“As regards personal relations, I think they are established,” the Russian president stated.

The two world leaders met for the first time at the three-day G-20 Summit in Hamburg, Germany. Their meeting spread to two and a half hours instead of the planned half hour.

Russia’s meddling in the U.S. presidential election was not resolved in the meeting, but the presidents did agree upon a cease-fire in Syria.

Afterwards, the Russian foreign minister asserted that Trump had accepted Putin’s denial of election interference, a claim the White House pushed back on.

“There is no basis to believe that Russia interfered in the electoral process of the United States,” Putin said.

Another campaign promise on the verge of being kept by our new president!

While President Donald Trump has been having a stellar showing abroad at the G20 Summit. Attorney General Jeff Sessions along with his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats took the time to visit the Guantanamo Bay prison camp at the US naval base on the island of Cuba.
Between 2009 and 2017 the Guantanamo prison has been running basically on a kind of autopilot mode since the executive order from former President Barack Hussein Obama calling for the facility to be shut down is still technically the law of the land. But because President Trump is a true American who cares about our nation’s security and the well-being of out citizens over all else, he promised during the campaign to fill it to capacity again.
Sessions ended his visit by saying that the prison is a “very fine place” where there is no legal reason not to send new detainees there.

The Guardian Reports:
Obama signs order to close Guantánamo Bay
Thursday 22 January 2009 12.20 EST

Prison that symbolizes George Bush’s ‘war on terror’ will be shut down, accompanied by ban on torture and review of military trials

Barack Obama has signed an executive order to shut down the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay – the most potent symbol of excess in George Bush’s “war on terror”.

The new US president signed two other executive orders to review the use of military trials for terror suspects and ban the harshest interrogation techniques, such as waterboarding.

The three executive orders – on the second day of the new administration – showed that Obama was determined to move swiftly to implement some of his key campaign pledges. Administration staff applauded at the signing ceremony in the Oval Office.

“The message that we are sending around the world is that the United States intends to prosecute the ongoing struggle against violence and terrorism and we are going to do so vigilantly,” Obama said. “We are going to do so effectively and we are going to do so in a manner that is consistent with our values and our ideals.”

A draft copy of the order said: “In view of significant concerns raised by these detentions, both within the United States and internationally, prompt and appropriate disposition of the individuals currently detained at Guantánamo and closure of the facility would further the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and the interests of justice.”

An estimated 245 men are being held at Guantánamo, a US naval base in Cuba. Most have been locked up for years without being charged with a crime. Obama’s plans to review military trials of terror suspects and end harsh interrogations were being assembled even before he won the election in November.

The UN’s torture investigator, Manfred Nowak, welcomed the move and said freed inmates should be allowed to sue the US if they had been mistreated. “Justice also means to look into the past,” Nowak told the Associated Press. Nowak has previously said he has reliable accounts of torture at Guantánamo. Lawyers for two inmates, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri and Mohammed Jawad, have said their clients were tortured.

In Saudi Arabia, families of the country’s 13 remaining Guantánamo detainees rejoiced at the news.

“That was a humane decision. We’re very optimistic,” said Ali al-Sayari, whose son Abdullah, 28, has been there for eight years. The family has not heard from or about him for the past two years.

“Obama is correcting the mistakes of his predecessor,” said Ali al-Shamrani, whose nephew Mohammed al-Shamrani has been in Guantánamo for eight years.

Obama’s nominee to be the director of national intelligence is set to tell Congress there will be no torture, harsh interrogations or wiretaps without warrants under his command.

The left coast, land of green peace and home of hippies have once again decided that it wants to selectively get on board with states rights and overrule the constitution. The people who would be the first to say that the individual rights can’t be extended to individuals who want to decide whether to support homosexual weddings, want to say that they can individually decide when someone should have a second amendment right to firearms.

Different states have differing laws about when police can confiscate firearms when called to a scene of violence, but the one thing that most have in common is that it’s always done by an outside party who has the chance to see the alleged attacker and can assess the immediate risk. Also, they confiscate all of the available firearms that can be used to cause immediate danger.

Oregon has now decided that they’d like to give the courts and whoever wants to bring an accusation against an individual the rights to not only confiscate the weapons of someone who’s not an imminent threat, but they want to take their ability to concealed carry as well. If that idea is at all concerning to you, read on.

Via Breitbart News:
“Oregon lawmakers passed legislation co-sponsored by Sen. Brian Boquist (R-Dallas) that allows a judge to issue an ex parte ruling for the confiscation of an individual’s firearms.
The bill is SB 719, and it has now passed Oregon’s House and Senate. It creates an Extreme Risk Protection Order, which forces the subject of the order to hand over all firearms, as well as his concealed carry permit if he possesses one.”

I’m not sure where Boquist gets off calling himself a Republican, sponsoring a bill like that, but apparently, he’s a man with a plan, and for some reason that includes deciding the Founding Father’s second amendment is outdated.
On the 6th of this month NRA-ILA reported on the issue:

“Senate Bill 719A has been scheduled for a House floor vote today. SB 719A was passed out of committee on Monday without a public hearing and with only one hour notice of the work session. It’s imperative that you contact your state Representative immediately and urge them to oppose SB 719A!
Based on a California law enacted in 2014, SB 719A would create a so-called ‘Extreme Risk Protection Order’ (ERPO) that could be obtained by a law enforcement officer, family member, or household member in an ex parte hearing to deprive someone of their Second Amendment rights without due process of the law.

It’s always hilarious to watch the reaction of liberals whenever a Muslim goes on a mass killing spree in the name of Islam. Even if the Muslim screams “allahu akbar,” in the final moments of his life, liberals will always claim the killer had no relationship to Islam, while condemning everyone as “racists” and “bigots” who speak out about the terror attack. As the unapologetic love affair between liberals and Muslim terrorists continue, it looks like the game is finally up for liberals continuing to assert that Islam is a “religion of peace” after what a popular FM Muslim radio station just accidentally broadcast for over 25 hours straight across America’s airwaves.

Muslims around the world have an intricate plan for taking down the west, but they understand fully that all of them can’t just go in with all their guns blazing at once. While terror attacks are apart part of the plan, they know that to invade and conquer western societies they must utilize the “civilization-jihadist” process, and actively destroy civilized countries from within. By utilizing the Islamic tactics of taqiyya and muruna, Muslims will pretend to be peaceful while deceiving us of their true intentions, while seamlessly infiltrating our courts and schools with Sharia.

As liberals across America and throughout the world still cling to the fallacy that Islam is a “religion of peace,” looks like leftists will have a hard time explaining why a “peaceful” Muslim FM station accidentally broadcast 25 hours from Muslim hate preacher Anwar Al-Awlaki, where his sermons amounted to a “direct call of action” across the Muslim community, instructing them to take “violent action” against all non-Muslims in the United States. The Daily Mail has more:

A Muslim radio station broadcast lectures by an Al Qaeda terror leader calling for holy war.

Iman FM transmitted 25 hours of sermons from Anwar Al-Awlaki, a hate preacher killed by a US drone strike in 2011.

A complaint was made to Ofcom, which has suspended the Sheffield-based station’s licence.

The watchdog said the material ‘amounted to a direct call to action to members of the Muslim community to prepare for and carry out violent action against non-Muslim people’.
Bosses at Iman FM have 21 days to explain themselves or be closed down. They found the extremist lectures on YouTube and broadcast them during Ramadan.

Ofcom said Al-Awlaki, who was an American Muslim cleric of Yemeni descent, was an Al Qaeda leader, recruiter and trainer.

He is said to have inspired the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris, an attempt to blow up an American airliner and the massacre of 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas.

The lectures were broadcast in English on June 14. In one, Al-Awlaki said: “Prepare whatever strength you have for holy war in the cause of Allah. This is a form of worship.”

Under broadcasting rules hate speech must not be included in TV or radio programs except where justified by context.

Iman FM claimed to be unaware of the preacher’s background and said not all the material was checked before being aired.

The Ofcom ruling described this defense as ‘not credible’.

Mohammad Mughal, the station’s chief executive, said: ‘This is very, very sad because none of us had any idea this lecture was preaching hatred.

‘We are not just a Muslim radio station – we regularly feature Christian presenters.’

It’s time that people in America wake the hell up to what is happening underneath our noses. We are actively being invaded thanks to the reckless antics of liberals who keep advocating for the very same group of people who have sworn to kill us. Regardless of the various factions of Islam, be it Al Qaeda, ISIS, or the Taliban, they all have the same goal, which is to come together in order to create a global caliphate. As countries across Europe are being infested with Muslim “refugees” with Sharia no-go zones are now becoming a common part of the landscape, America within a very short amount of time will be the only remaining stronghold against Islam, as experts predict that in 10 years Europe will be completely ruled by Sharia Law.

President Trump accused former FBI director James B. Comey of illegally leaking classified information to the media, part of an angry, early morning tweet storm Monday as the president faces new allegations about his 2016 campaign’s contact with the Russians.

“James Comey leaked CLASSIFIED INFORMATION to the media,” Trump wrote, referring to the FBI director he fired in May. “That is so illegal!”
Testifying before Congress last month, Comey revealed that a tweet by the president — incorrectly suggesting he may have had taped his conversations with Comey — prompted the former FBI director to ask a close friend to leak to the news media private memos he had kept recounting his interactions with Trump.

The president also used Twitter to push out several a “Fox & Friends” clips Monday morning, including one accusing Comey of having his friend leak top secret information, and another accusing the media of not representing half of the country.

And later in the morning, he retweeted a missive by Fox News host Sean Hannity, which attacked Hillary Clinton, seeming to refer to her private email server as secretary of state and saying, “HRC mishandles and destroys classified info-NO PROBLEM!”

Trump’s frustrated, frenzied tweets — at times, he basically seemed to be live-tweeting “Fox & Friends” — came amid reports in the New York Times this weekend that the president’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr. — as well as his son-in-law Jared Kushner and former campaign manager Paul J. Manafort — met with a Russian lawyer with Kremlin ties during the 2016 campaign, after being promised damaging information on Clinton.

The president then urged lawmakers to pass legislation to repeal and replace President Obama’s signature health-care bill before leaving for the August recess.

“I cannot imagine that Congress would dare to leave Washington without a beautiful new HealthCare bill fully approved and ready to go!” he wrote.
Senate Republicans left for the July 4 holiday after failing to hold a vote on Republican heath-care legislation. The White House has signaled that if Republicans cannot successfully pass a new health-care plan, the administration will pressure lawmakers to simply repeal the current health-care law — and then, possibly, work with Democrats to write replacement legislation.

Later, Trump’s tweets veered in an entirely different direction: defending his daughter Ivanka, who prompted international backlash at the Group of 20 summit on Saturday when she briefly filled in for her father at a table of world leaders when he left the room.

“When I left Conference Room for short meetings with Japan and other countries, I asked Ivanka to hold seat,” Trump wrote. “Very standard. Angela M agrees!”

Trump asserted that if Chelsea Clinton had been a similar situation, the reaction from the media would have been calls for Chelsea herself to run for president.

“If Chelsea Clinton were asked to hold the seat for her mother, as her mother gave our country away, the Fake News would say CHELSEA FOR PRES!” Trump wrote.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel — or “Angela M” in Trump parlance — earlier this year hosted Ivanka at a summit focused on women empowerment in Berlin, and did defend the president’s daughter to reporters.

First Daughter Ivanka Trump, an unpaid adviser to her father, President Donald Trump, created a media firestorm when she briefly took dad’s seat during a working meeting of top world leaders at the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany.

Members of the liberal media and others went into full meltdown mode — real or contrived. Frankly, it’s hard to tell, these days:

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the host of the summit, defended Ivanka’s brief seat at the table, saying “it was in line with what other delegations do.”

Nonetheless, the feeding frenzy continued.

Monday morning, being the proud father Donald Trump is — and also being Donald Trump — not only defended his daughter, but landed a strong shot at the Clintons and the media in the process:

Donald J. Trump:
When I left Conference Room for short meetings with Japan and other countries, I asked Ivanka to hold seat. Very standard. Angela M agrees!
Any “self-respecting” member of the liberal media would be denying his or her “progressive” stripes to claim otherwise, would they not?

Less than an hour later, Chelsea shot back:
Good morning Mr. President. It would never have occurred to my mother or my father to ask me. Were you giving our country away? Hoping not.
I’ll take this one.

Chelsea, have you not been aware of the near-constant adulation heaped on you by the liberal media? As was the case with your mother in 2008 — until Barack Obama came along — then again in 2016, they have all but anointed you as the next Clinton president. You know, that “Clinton dynasty” thing.

A federal judge sentenced one of the 234 people arrested during rioting in Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Day to prison. The defendant admitted he joined with 200 others to form a “Black Bloc” wearing black, gloves, scarves, ski masks, gas masks, and goggles to conceal their identities. He also carried a black flag, a hammer, and a gas mask. He is the first to be sentenced in connection with the riots.
A statement signed by 31-year-old Dane Powell said that others with the “Black Bloc” at Logan Circle wore sunglasses, helmets, hoodies, “and other face-concealing and face-protecting items to conceal their identities to prevent law enforcement from being able to identify the individual perpetrators of violence or property damage.”

The statement obtained by Breitbart Texas from the DOJ’s U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Columbia Division, also said that the rioters traveled over approximately 16 city blocks during a period of more than 30 minutes. The Black Bloc army carried hammers, crowbars, wooden sticks, and other weapons.

Dane Powell admitted that he helped break windows at two businesses and to “throwing a brick, large rock, or piece of concrete at uniformed law enforcement officers during the riot.”

Breitbart News reported in January that the rioters got about a mile from the White House. The article describes the damage reported and the actions of the mob. It also noted that “as shown in the Stephen K. Bannon film Occupy Unmasked, the Black Bloc anarchists are closely aligned with the Occupy Wall Street movement.”

The gathering of “anarchist, socialist and communist groups” for an event called “DisruptJ20” called for Black Bloc protesters to come to Logan Circle in Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Day. The article said, “its distinctive dress is to allow protesters to break the law” and its leftist “anti-American” ideology and its goals are not to be underestimated.

After the arrests of the protesters, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) countered in June suing “1-150” Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers, “1-20” supervisory MPD officers, and MPD Police Chief Peter Newsham in their individual capacities (#1:17-cv-01216-ABJ).

The federal complaint for damages begins with the statement that people came from all over the country to take to the streets to exercise their constitutional right to freedom of speech and assembly “to express their disapproval of [President Donald Trump’s] policies.” The ACLU lawyers add, “Journalists came to report on the demonstrations. Legal observers came to document any violations of the demonstrators’ legal rights.”

The ACLU complains of tear gas and pepper spray being used by the officers, and about three of the plaintiffs allegedly being denied food, water and access to a toilet for 7 to 16 hours, tight handcuffs, and that two of the plaintiffs “were subjected to intrusive, humiliating, and unjustified manual rectal probing and grabbing of their testicles.”

On Friday, Dane Powell was sentenced to 36 months in prison as his supporters, and the supporters of police officers took up all the seats in the courtroom and 20 seats in a second courtroom, reported the Tampa Bay Times, the defendant’s home town newspaper. The judge suspended all but four months of the sentence on the condition that he successfully complete two years of supervised probation. Powell was immediately taken into custody.

Dane Powell was choking with emotion when he asked Judge Lynn Leibovitz of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia for leniency. The Tampa Bay Times reported that he urged, “I stand before you today asking for forgiveness for anyone who was scared, hurt or felt threatened by me on that day.”

An assistant U.S. attorney played a 10-minute video and accused Powell of throwing bricks and rocks at peace officers and breaking the windows of stores. His eyes were exposed although he was dressed in black and he had his face covered. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Kerkhoff told the judge that Powell was seen the day before in Logan Circle carrying the same flag, a hammer, and gas masks. “He came to the District of Columbia to engage in violence by hiding his face, throwing rocks and running. He’s a violent coward,” she argued, the Times reported.

The government lawyer also charged that one of the police officers during the riots was knocked unconscious with a brick or large rock, but there was no evidence that Powell struck that officer.

Powell’s defense lawyer said her client, a U.S. Army veteran, came to Washington because he was “worried about the direction of this country” but he admitted he got “carried away.”

Powell pleaded guilty in late April to the charges of felony rioting and felony assault on a peace officer. He had faced 14 charges.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has come to the defense of Ivanka Trump after outcry over Ivanka briefly filling in for her father, President Donald Trump, at a G20 summit event in Hamburg, Germany, last week.

When a picture showing Ivanka filling in for Trump during a meeting at the G20 summit surfaced Saturday, people lost their minds — and the move was even compared to something that happens in dictatorships.
The picture caused outrage because it showed Ivanka sitting with British Prime Minister Theresa May and Chinese President Xi Jinping. May and Jinping are world leaders, while Ivanka is only an adviser to her father.

To set the record straight, Ivanka didn’t sit in on an important economic or military panel. Instead, Ivanka only joined the world leaders when the president of the World Bank spoke about a women’s entrepreneurship fund that Ivanka spearheaded with the World Bank. Otherwise, Ivanka was sitting at the back of the room, according to a White House statement.

“Ivanka was sitting in the back and then briefly joined the main table when the president had to step out,” a White House official said.

But even if Ivanka had sat at the main table during other discussions, according to Merkel, who served as host of this year’s summit, it wouldn’t have made a difference.

“Ivanka Trump belonged to the American delegation, so that is in line with what other delegations do. And it is known that she works at the White House and carries responsibility for certain initiatives,” Merkel told reporters Saturday, according to The Associated Press.

Last year, then-president Barack Obama vetoed a bill that would have curbed the pensions of former presidents if they took outside income of $400,000 or more.

So now that former president Barack Obama has decided to accept $400,000 for an upcoming Wall Street speech, the sponsors of that bill say they’ll reintroduce that bill in hopes that President Trump will sign it.

“The Obama hypocrisy on this issue is revealing,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and sponsor of the 2016 bill. “His veto was very self-serving.”

Chaffetz and Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, the sponsor of the companion Senate bill, say they will re-introduce the Presidential Allowance Modernization Act this month. The bill would cap presidential pensions at $200,000, with another $200,000 for expenses. But those payments would be reduced dollar-for-dollar once their outside income exceeds $400,000.

The issue isn’t a partisan one — or at least, it wasn’t last year. The bill passed both the House and Senate with no opposition, and no veto threat had come from the White House.

So when Obama’s veto came one Friday night last July — on the last day for him to sign or veto the legislation — it took lawmakers by surprise. It was the 11th of Obama’s 12 vetoes.

At the time, Obama argued that the bill would have “unintended consequences” and “impose onerous and unreasonable burdens” on former presidents by requiring them to immediately lay off staff and find new office space.

Republican leaders did not call up the bill for a veto override, which would have required a two-thirds majority in both chambers.

Democrats say they won’t necessarily oppose changes.

Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., the top Democrat on Chaffetz’s committee, was a co-sponsor of the original bill. “Cummings definitely supports the concept, and if we can work out the technical issues with the bill that arose late in the last Congress, we expect he would strongly support it again,” said spokeswoman Jennifer Hoffman Werner.

Trump has not taken a position on the legislation. But during the campaign, he said he’d take a close look at pensions for elected officials — especially members of Congress.

“The first thing I’m going to do is tell you that if I’m elected president, I’m accepting no salary, OK?” he said at a town hall in 2015. “They get benefits that nobody else can even think about, OK. And they don’t like to talk about it. But we’ll work on that.”

Under the Former Presidents Act, the nation’s five living former presidents — Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama — get a pension equal to the salary of a current cabinet secretary: $207,800 in 2017. They also get $150,000 to pay staff, and “suitable office space, appropriately furnished and equipped.”

In 2015, the entire benefit package ranged from $430,000 for Carter to $1.1 million for George W. Bush.

With Obama joining the club as of Jan. 20, the 2017 spending bill approved by the House Wednesday contained nearly $3.9 million for all the former presidents through Sept. 30 — a $588,000 annual increase.

Obama spokesman Kevin Lewis said the former president had no comment on the legislation.

Obama has already shown he has considerable potential to raise money in his post-presidential career. He and his wife Michelle have signed a publishing deal for two separate books, which the Financial Times reported was worth at least $65 million. And the Wall Street speech — a health care conference planned by investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald in September — will reportedly net him another $400,000.

“President Obama will deliver speeches from time to time,” said Eric Schultz, a former White House spokesman who continues to advise Obama. “Some of those speeches will be paid, some will be unpaid, and regardless of venue or sponsor, President Obama will be true to his values, his vision, and his record.”

Obama has said he also plans to use his post-presidency to work on a range of issues through his presidential center in Chicago. On Wednesday, he unveiled the design of that center and said he would donate $2 million to a summer jobs program for Chicago youth.

A spokesman for President George H.W. Bush said he does not oppose changes to the law, and expects that Congress will likely take some action.

On the first day of Barack Obama’s presidency, he promised that he would close the terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. However, 8 years later the prison still remains open even though most of the prisoners have been released back into the population with disastrous consquences.

Brack Obama did all he could to release these disgusting terrorists and do what he could to make their lives better too. If it was not banning pork of prison menu’s it was releasing Muslim extremists back to the battlefield to fight against American troops. The prison was almost emptied out completely, but it appears that it will not be for long.

President Trump has made no secret that he planned on utilizing GITMO once he was president. And, like all promises Trump makes he intends on keeping this one as well. It appears that Trump is signaling that he will be filling the terrorist prison once again.
Here is more from The Hill:

The Trump administration appears to be making its first moves toward fulfilling a campaign promise to fill the Guantanamo Bay prison camp with “bad dudes.”

Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein visited the prison on Friday to get an update on current operations, the first concrete action the administration has taken on the facility since taking office.

Up until now, Guantanamo has been running on autopilot; the executive order from former President Obama calling for the facility to be shut down is still technically the law of the land.

But President Trump promised during the campaign to “load it up with some bad dudes,” and Sessions has called it a “very fine place” with no legal reason not to send new detainees there.

Supporters of keeping the facility open and sending new detainees there are confident Trump will fulfill that promise, even if little movement has been made.

“We have taken off the table the silly ideas that the previous administration had about Guantanamo,” said David Rivkin, constitutional litigator and a fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies who served under Presidents Reagan and George H. W. Bush in the White House counsel’s office and the Justice Department.

Obama, having failed in his efforts to close the facility, left Guantanamo with 41 detainees. Five of those detainees were cleared for transfer by either the interagency Guantanamo Review Task Force set up in 2009 or the interagency Periodic Review Boards set up in 2011.

Shortly after Trump’s inauguration, various draft executive orders floated around Washington that would have moved to fulfill Trump campaign promise to begin sending new prisoners to the facility.

The orders would have revoked Obama’s executive order and suspended any existing transfer efforts pending a new review. They also would have called for the continued operation of Guantanamo to hold and try members of al Qaeda, the Taliban and “associated forces,” including the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

But no such orders have been signed.
Of course, the left is already screaming about human rights violations, but do not care about the lives these terrorists have taken. Unlike Obama who believed that incarcerating terrorists would only create more terrorists, Trump has a much more logical approach. And, that is to keep these dangerous individuals locked up so that they cannot harm anyone else.
