    Anyone planning to fly to the US should prepare for delays, both with fights and getting in and out of airports. And this isn't going to improve any time soon.

    What may be more disturbing is the reorganization of the National Security Council. Steve Bannon as Presidential Strategist now has a seat on the NSC, but the DNI and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs are only sit in when their expertise is necessary for the discussion at hand. But Trump has a...

    I'm beginning to think that investing in aluminum and posterboard stocks was a good idea.

    The problem that has been overlooked in all this is the lack of planning and preparation that preceded the issuing of the EO. Government agencies that would be implementing the directives had little or no warning that this was to be released, so were caught with their tighty whiteys around...

    I think the harm was done during 9/11 with the false reporting that the hijackers who passed through the Portland ME airport entered the country from Canada. Taken in conjunction with the Millenium Bomber being caught after arriving on a ferry from Canada it firmly emplanted into the American...

    Looks like The first clash between Trump and the Courts is starting starting to shape up. Hope he doesn't blow up Twitter over this. (Yeah right) Federal judge grants stay to allow those with visas to remain, 10 still detained at JFK...

    The current process of vetting refugees is more than sufficient. On average it takes 18 to 24 months. Multiple interviews which are more in depth than any American would be subjected to, unless being interrogated for a suspected crime. Medical examinations that take hours. Multiple sessions...

    15 of the highjackers came from Saudi, 1 from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon and 2 from the UAE. None of which are covered by the exec order. Also, Afghanistan and Pakistan aren't on the list. Think that they don't pose a threat?

    There are several others left off that list as well that have and still pose security risks. But ask yourself what do Trump and those countries have in common? Could it be that he has major business interests in those countries? NAH! That can't be it.

    I would have posted links to other sources too, but when I Googled each, it came back with YUGE numbers, Great numbers, Wonderful numbers of results. I was afraid if I posted all of them it would crash the server. [Xp

    Well, since it falls in the category of US politics, and it's happening right now in 2017, I would have to say NO!

    It's not just the press. It's foreign governments, large corporations, the stock markets. Trump needs to learn that as POTUS, words matter just as much as or even more than actions.

    It seems that a lot of the executive actions so far have been at best window dressing. And in a few cases it appears that they failed to take into consideration the law of unintended consequences. His order for a hiring freeze in the federal govenment is already creating heat from the veterans...
