With Wall Deal Elusive in Congress, Path Clears for Trump Framing National Emergency Declaration on Border
Nancy Cook, came out with a curious article on Thursday, laying out how, with Congress unlikely to approve any funding for President Donald Trump’s planned border wall, he should instead go the route of a national emergency declaration, and that it is Breitbart News that has been leading the way in framing the argument for such a declaration.
Cook wrote:
The White House is finalizing details of a potential national emergency declaration to secure President Donald Trump’s border wall, even as lawmakers are trying to broker an immigration deal that could avert another shutdown in just over two weeks. Trump met with his budget chief, acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, Jared Kushner and other top officials, including White House lawyers, on Tuesday to walk through the logistics of such a move. And White House aides have been quietly meeting with outside conservative political groups to build support for the president to take such an action. Those talking points, which emphasize Trump’s legal authority, have begun to show up in such conservative media outlets as Breitbart News.
Breitbart News has certainly been ahead of the curve with the rest of the media on this particular matter. A week ago, on Jan. 24, Breitbart News legal editor Ken Klukowski explained how President Trump has the legal authority–already delegated to him from Congress–to build the wall on the border.

Congressional Research Service: President Can Build Border Wall Without National Emergency or Additional Action by Congress
Congressional Research Service (CRS) says President Trump has the legal authority to build significant portions of a border wall without additional congressional authorization or declaring a national emergency.
That conclusion was reached in a report released by the nonpartisan federal agency on January 10. A Department of Defense official made a similar legal argument in testimony before the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday.
Exhausting ALL options before committing.

Trump Economy: Blue-Collar Wages Rise Faster than White-Collar
Salaries for college graduate Americans are growing much slower than for Americans who are working in transportation, restaurants, services, construction, and sales, according to federal data.
Average pay grew 3.0 percent in the 12 months up to December, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, employees in the broad “management, professional, and related” category gained only 2.5 percent.
But there was a 4.2 percent rise in wages for “sales and related” employees, a 3.7 percent rise for “production, transportation, and material moving” workers, a 3.4 percent rise for “trade, transportation, and utilities” workers, and a 4.1 gain for “leisure and hospitality” workers.
Real jobs.

China Will Purchase 5 Million Tons of Soybeans Per Day from U.S. Farmers

China has begun making these purchases on a smaller scale and will be increasing those purchases to five million tons of soybeans per day, China’s Vice Premier Liu He pledged to President Trump Thursday.
“That’s going to make our farmers happy, that’s a lot of soybeans,” said president Trump.

South Dakota town to welcome Barack Obama statue this summer
Rapid City, South Dakota, will welcome a statue of former President Barack Obama to its “City of Presidents” this summer.
The foundation behind the City of Presidents – which places life-size bronze statues of past US presidents throughout the streets and sidewalks of Rapid City – confirmed to a local ABC station on Friday that the statue would be completed and unveiled this coming July.
Dallerie Davis, co-founder of the foundation, told the local outlet that the group is also working to make sure the statue is more interesting and fitting for “particularly someone like President Obama.”

Once you've actually been around this nation, you'll see why those words are offensive.
All of these are usually in effect to some level before and after Tucker, i notice.

Judicial appointments:
Trump: 85 in 2 years.
Obama: 65 in 8 years.
Bush: 100 in 8 years.
I think that's what Trump's working on.
