40 Days Under Pressure?  Ha, this is team Trump.  “Cold Anger – Steadfast Resolve”
Our president just delivered an incredible ‘no retreat’ – ‘America First’ speech to a joint session of congress.   Trump didn’t drop the mic, he bludgeoned the swamp beasts with it.
40 Days Under pressure? The increasingly desperate media attacks bounce off like ping-pong balls hitting an MRAP.
This is team Trump. Team, President Trump. MRAP for our team is “Media Resistant and Ambush Protected”.  We’ve already danced through a hotter furnace. United.
40 Days Under Pressure? Pffft. Is that all they’ve got?
Apparently those who oppose Team Trump in the past 40 Days were not paying attention to the past 20 months.  No quit, all winning.

TRANSCRIPT – Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, the First Lady of the United States, and Citizens of America: Tonight, as we mark the conclusion of our celebration of Black History Month, we are reminded of our nation’s path toward civil rights and the work that still remains.
Recent threats targeting Jewish Community Centers and vandalism of Jewish cemeteries, as well as last week’s shooting in Kansas City, remind us that while we may be a nation divided on policies, we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all its forms.
Each American generation passes the torch of truth, liberty and justice – in an unbroken chain all the way down to the present. That torch is now in our hands, and we will use it to light up the world.
I am here tonight to deliver a message of unity and strength, and it is a message deeply delivered from my heart. (more…)

As Gruber famously said: “we rely upon the stupidity of the American voter“, he was talking about administration and legislative lies for ObamaCare.
In the latest MSM round of let’s undermine President Trump with his supporters, immigration version 3.0, (not coincidentally following the aggregate assembly of the MSM praetorian guard at the White House today), and simultaneously create a self-fulfilling  prophecy effort – the media are back off to the races selling a Trump immigration position capitulation effort.
…. and, once again, the media’s success is dependent on the stupidity of the American voter.

Look Familiar?

…”Hey, I’ve got an idea.  We were thinking”…

There’s nothing, not a single thing, of substance to back up the eleventieth time the media have created this immigration capitulation narrative other than the exact same stuff, their stuff, they used the last umpteen times.

(Via Facebook) Today I signed two bills that promote women entering and leading the STEM fields — science, technology, engineering, and math. Currently, only 1 in every 4 women who gets a STEM degree is working in a STEM job, which is not fair and it’s not even smart for the people that aren’t taking advantage of it….

Deconstructing the Administrative State Continues…

Today President Trump signed an executive order directing EPA head Scott Pruitt to dismantle the Obama Clean Water Rule.   With this executive order Scott Pruitt will begin repealing and rewriting the vastly overreaching EPA rule which defined all water as navigable waterways, including puddles, ponds and water retention structures.

EPA Head Scott Pruitt will now go through the same lengthy rule-making process that put it together.  It will take time to go through the notice and comment periods and probable legal challenges mounted in the opposite direction by environmental groups.

Vice-President Mike Pence delivered remarks this morning during the official commission of Wilbur Ross to become Secretary of Commerce.   Both Vice-President Pence and Secretary Ross gave brief remarks during the formal commission ceremony.
Video of the Swearing in ceremony:

.
Secretary Ross brings with him a comprehensive subject matter skill-set to the position of commerce secretary.  Wilbur Ross has spent decades inside the architecture of the economy understanding every aspect to the structure of economic impact brought about by governmental policy.  He was overwhelmingly supported during his nomination.
Secretary Ross specific expertise is with the predictive impact of intensely granular policy on trade deals.  He amassed a personal fortune by using his skill to invest in operations connected to the constructs of U.S. policy.  Ross has willingly set those assets behind a blind trust and assumes the role of commerce secretary in an effort to provide the larger U.S. economy with the road map to similar growth and economic wealth.

I shall just keep quiet and allow Mitch to speak for himself. It’s amazing how the talking points of the UniParty take flight:

President Donald Trump pre-recorded an interview yesterday with the morning hosts of Fox and Friends.  The wide-ranging interview aired this morning:

It was interesting to see a question about 600 unfilled administration positions, and President Trump’s response NOT to fill those positions because they are fundamentally unnecessary to the priority functions of government.
This gives a peek into presidential priorities and his budgetary approach:

President Trump asked about 600 open government jobs: “A lot of those jobs I don’t want to appoint because they are unnecessary to have.” pic.twitter.com/iOdopREI2w
