Life in the White House is a whole lot of hustle and bustle. Everything is important, and everything’s got to get done now. Especially all of the things happening in the Oval Office. The President has the incredible responsibility of signing bills into laws, sending out executive orders and building relationships with foreign dignitaries. This comes with its own set of challenges, like the media that feels the need to record every single move that he makes.

The media is extremely vetted before ever getting near the President or any of the other high profile people who enter the West Wing of the White House, however, when there’s only so much President and so many square feet around him to do their jobs, things can get ugly. The media that usually have clearance to be in the Oval office was recently expanded to include the local affiliates of South Korean news organizations while the South Korean leader and his wife are visiting the President and First Lady in Washington.

Since these are people usually unfamiliar with the practices of the White House in general, and the Oval Office specifically, they didn’t quite behave the way they were supposed to. They got so out of hand at one point that the President actually called them down. They pushed and shoved until they displaced the furniture, knocked over a table and lamp and put the President’s bodyguard on extreme alert.

Via Daily Mail:

“A crush of photographers and reporters nearly broke a lamp in the Oval Office on Friday as they elbowed for room to see Donald Trump meet with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

It’s customary for a limited contingent of journalists, called a press pool, to be allowed into the president’s office to witness him greeting heads of state.

But Moon’s arrival attracted a larger than usual contingent of foreign press from Korean outlets, and the White House gamely tried to accommodate them all.
Few in the group were familiar with how Oval Office photo-ops work.
As they clambered over each other to get the best view, still and video cameras smacked at least one print journalist in the head.

A few photographers pushed a couch. Which nudged an end table. Which sent an expensive lamp tipping over toward its doom.

A quick-thinking Keith Schiller, the former Trump bodyguard who now serves as director of Oval Office operations, saved the day with a one-handed grab.

‘Easy, fellas. Hey!’ a visibly annoyed Trump scolded. ‘Fellas! Fellas! Easy!’

‘Wow, you guys are getting worse.’

Moon seemed amused.
As impatient shutters snapped fast enough to sound like a Washington downpour, the president turned to his Korean counterpart.

‘They knocked the table down,’ he said.

‘It’s actually a very friendly press. Don’t let that get you, although we just lost a table.’

Schiller, one of Trump’s longest-serving aides, was famously dispatched to the FBI quarters on May 9 with a letter telling then-director James Comey that he was being fired.”

It seems that the press was only more out of hand than usual because of the increased presence, but that didn’t keep the President from holding them to his regular standard. One could assume that President Moon Jae-in was smiling because it’s really not his problem to deal with. It would be kind of like if you’re at a friend’s house and their kids are acting up. You just smile and thank heaven it’s their kids and not yours because you don’t have to deal with the problem.

Recently a relatively unknown Democratic Congressman named Jamie Raskin, has started flapping his jaws about a bill he wants approved to have a committee thrown together to assess the mental health of the President in the hopes of being able to impeach President Trump. What makes this so hilarious is that Raskin’s is the BIGGEST liberal politician there is. Raskin’s is a self-proclaimed atheist. The Congressman is anti-gun, pro-abortion, pro-assisted suicide, a climate change believer and just so happens to be married to the Obama appointed former U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, Sarah Bloom. He is also quite close to Elizabeth Warren, go figure!
Let’s not forget that Raskin said in an interview that Trump’s Inaugural speech was the “meanest” in U.S. history. Being a “Constitutional Law” Professor I would think he would know that his backdoor tactics and false claims against the President will never fly, but then again he doesn’t seem too bright.

Raskin’s idiocy starts at about the .40 second mark. Watch:
According to Red State Watcher:

A Freshman Congressman has proposed a bill that could potentially remove President Trump from office. CNN Reported: Washington (CNN)Pointing to the outcry over President Donald Trump’s latest controversial tweets, freshman Rep. Jamie Raskin is urging his colleagues to get behind a bill that could potentially oust the President if he was mentally or physically unfit. The Maryland Democrat wants to create an 11-member commission made up of mostly physicians and psychiatrists — more formally called the “Oversight Commission on Presidential Capacity.”

The panel would carry out a medical examination and determine whether the President was physically or mentally able to do the job. Two of the commission’s members would also be former high ranking officials, such as presidents, vice presidents, attorneys general or secretaries of state. It’s a provocative and long-shot effort, but Raskin is citing as his legal backup the 25th Amendment of the Constitution, which was adopted in 1967 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to establish procedure in the case a president is incapacitated. About two dozen Democrats have signed on to the effort as of Thursday.

Raskin is zeroing in on one section of that constitutional amendment, which allows the vice president to assume powers if either the majority of the Cabinet or “such other body as Congress” finds that the President is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of office.” (The vice president would also have to agree to the assessment of the President’s abilities.) Raskin is proposing his commission to serve as that “body.”

The President could appeal the decision, and a whopping two-thirds of both the House and the Senate would then need to agree with the commission’s assessment in order to keep the President out of office. If two-thirds fail to agree, then the President would be allowed to resume the powers and duties of the office. CNN reached out to the White House for comment on the proposal and has not yet received a response. Raskin, a former professor of constitutional law, first introduced the bill in April and before this week it had 20 co-sponsors (all Democrats). Another three Democrats joined as of Thursday, according to Raskin’s office.

All of America has been excitedly waiting for the first lady to make her way to D.C. and take up residence in the White House. A few weeks ago she finally did just that, and it’s obvious that she’s going to be a fantastic first lady and a great ambassador for the United States. She’s already achieved putting a much more tasteful spin on events like the Easter egg roll and entertaining of dignitaries.

Melania Trump’s lack of presence in Washington D.C. over the first few months of this administration was targeted as being because she didn’t actually have dedication to her husband or to the position of First Lady. However, as has been put forward time and time again, the delayed transfer was for the sake of keeping a pre-teen boy from haveing his life turned upside down any more than it already had been. Unlike our former First Lady, Melania Trump has made an effort to let at least some of her world revolve around her offspring, instead of pushing him off on others as much as possible.

The latest example of the upgrade that America received in Melania v. Michelle was when she stood up for her husband (you know, like wives are supposed to do) after he was attacked. He, of course, retaliated against that attacker, but the left is on his case about it. Between that, and the visiting leaders from South Korea, Melania has had her hands full, and the media is trying to catch her in any kind of screw up.

Just keep looking guys, nothing to see here.
Via Daily Mail:

“Melania Trump returned to the White House on Thursday to stand by her husband after earlier defending his astonishing personal attack on MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski.
The First Lady joined her husband in welcoming South Korean President Moon Jae-in and his wife to Washington DC.

She had been in New York City earlier in the week but returned to her new home as her husband was engulfed in criticism over his comments towards Brzezinski.
In a flurry of tweets, the president called the Morning Joe host ‘crazy’ and ‘low IQ’ and said cruelly that she was ‘bleeding from from the face’ after undergoing a ‘face lift’ when he spent time with her and her fiance co-host Joe Scarborough at Mar-a-Lago over New Year.

Congressman Justin Amash (R-MI) was the only Republican to vote against Kate’s Law, a law that would impose harsher penalties on deported aliens who try to return to the United States.
Kate’s Law passed through the House 257 to 167, 24 Democrats voted for the bill. Congressman Amash was the only Republican to vote against Kate’s Law.

Kate’s Law was named after Kate Steinle, a San Francisco woman murdered by an illegal immigrant who remained in the United States despite multiple deportations.

The Michigan lawmaker also voted against H.R. 3003, the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act, a bill that would defund cities that prevent their police from turning over illegal aliens to federal authorities.

Rep. Amash explained his opposition to both Kate’s Law and the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act, citing that they would violate the Constitution in a tweet. He did not elaborate how exactly these bills violate the Constitution.
Congressman Amash became one of the Republican lawmakers to discuss impeaching President Donald Trump.

The New York Times reported that President Trump allegedly tried to pressure former FBI Director James Comey to drop an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to a memo written by Comey.

Amash, asked if the details of the Comey memo were true, said, “Yes,” that he would support impeachment if they were true.

“But everybody gets a fair trial in this country,” the Michigan representative added.

Democrat ineptitude has forced President Trump to step in and clean up their mess.

President Trump is sending the Feds into Chicago. “Crime and killings in Chicago have reached such epidemic proportions that I am sending in Federal help. 1714 shootings in Chicago this year!” he said in a tweet (via FOX News).

Chicago was warned by the president in his first week in office that if they cannot address the problem of gun violence, he would be forced to send in reinforcements.

President Trump has been quietly sending agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) into the Democrat city to help local police.

Now, President Trump has committed an addition 20 ATF agents to form a strike force in cooperation with Illinois State Police and the Chicago Police Department.

“Murders are way, way too high,” said Attorney General Jeff Sessions, supporting President Trump. “We’ll have an impact in reducing shootings in Chicago.”

Session went on to criticize policies of the City of Chicago for demoralizing local police departments who are struggling to catch criminals.
The murder clearance rate in Chicago, which measures the number of murder cases that end with an arrest or death of the offender, has stagnated below 3o percent for over three years (via USA Today).

Last year, Chicago and Illinois police could only clear 25.6 percent of the murders that occurred in the city. The abysmal clearance rate is a black mark on the Chicago Police Department, and the Democrat-controlled city council and Mayor’s office.

The ATF agents will be helping local police solve more murders while also tracking down the traffickers funneling guns to inner city gangs. The ATF agents will be joined by prosecutors from the U.S. Attorneys Office who will determine if criminals should face punishments at the state or federal level.

The head of the Chicago Police Department says the goal is to get as many criminals off the streets as possible. Criminals will face charges with the longest sentences to clean up the streets.

A man has reportedly been jailed for six and a half months after berating a Muslim mom and her daughter before smacking the latter in the face with a pack of bacon.

According to The Mirror, on June 8, 36-year-old Alex Chivers called the pair “ISIL scum” before shouting, “you deserve this” and hitting the teenage girl with the meat.

The outlet states that Chivers had a friend film the incident. The pair then posted it online.
“This was a truly shocking incident,” The Mirror quotes DC James Payne of the Metropolitan Police as stating.

“The victim was out with her mother and getting on with her day when Chivers abused her and then set upon her with something he knew would both upset and offend her.”

Payne reportedly added, “we know other people were present during this attack, including an associate of Chivers’ who filmed the incident. Enquiries are ongoing to trace these people.”

“The community safety unit here in Enfield would encourage all victims of hate crime to contact police so that the culprits can be identified and brought to justice.”

Movie star Gwyneth Paltrow is catching a lot of flak for comparing negative Twitter comments to fighting in a war.

Perhaps the best response, however, comes from Green Beret and Purple Heart recipient Bryan Sikes. Via Clash Daily:

To Miss Paltrow,

I’d first like to start out by saying how terrible I feel for you and all your friends that on a daily basis have to endure mean words written by people you don’t know. I can only imagine the difficulty of waking up in a 12,000 square foot Hollywood home and having your assistant retrieve your iPhone, only to see that the battery is low and someone on twitter (the social media concept that you and all of your friends contribute to on an hourly basis to feed your ego and narcissistic ways), has written a mean word or 2 about you.

You’ve hit the nail on the head, war is exactly like that. You should receive a medal for the burden you have carried on your shoulders due to these meanies on social media.

You said, “Its almost like, how in war, you go through this bloody dehumanizing thing and then something is defined out of it.” I could see how you, and others like you in “the biz”, could be so insecure and mentally weak that you could pair the difficulty of your life on twitter to my brothers who have had their limbs ripped off and seen their friends shot, blown up, burned and disfigured, or wake up every morning in pain – while just starting the day is a challenge.

How about our wives? The ones that sign on to be there for us through thick and thin, that help us to shake the hardships of war upon our return? And do all this while being mothers to our kids, keeping bills in order because we are always gone, and keeping our lives glued together. They do all this, by the way, without a team of accountants, nanny’s, personal assistants, and life coaches. Yeah, reading a mean tweet is just like all that.
