SOTU Video: Trump to terrorists: ‘if you attack Americans, you forfeit your lives’

President Donald Trump highlighted recent military operations to take down terrorist groups and their leaders during his State of the Union address Tuesday night, and left terrorists with a stark warning.

In his remarks, Trump said, “Our message to the terrorists is clear: You will never escape American justice. If you attack our citizens, you forfeit your life.”

Watch his comments in the video below, beginning at approximately 1:08:51:

Ahead of that message, Trump highlighted successes in combating ISIS during his administration, including the October raid to take down ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

“Three years ago, the barbarians of ISIS-held over 20,000 square miles of territory in Iraq and Syria. Today, the ISIS territorial caliphate has been 100 percent destroyed, and the founder and leader of ISIS — the bloodthirsty killer known as al-Baghdadi — is dead,” Trump said.

Though ISIS fighters and cells are still active throughout the Middle East, the terror group’s formal territorial holdings collapsed in March when the group lost its final Syria stronghold in the Baghouz province. Anti-ISIS operations have continued in the months that followed the caliphate’s collapse.

Navy SEAL commander resigns over dispute with Trump on SEAL Gallagher

Rear Adm. Collin Green, commander of the Naval Special Warfare Command, is stepping down in September over a dispute he had with President Donald Trump regarding disciplining a SEAL.

Green and Trump had a disagreement over the court-martial trial of U.S. Navy SEAL Chief Edward “Eddie” Gallagher in which Trump prevented Green from pursuing a peer evaluation of Gallagher. Trump’s intervention freed Gallagher from pretrial detention and restored Gallagher’s rank after the conviction. Now Green has decided to retire one year early, The Intercept reported Saturday.

“There’s a long tradition in the military,” Gallagher’s civilian attorney, Timothy Parlatore, told Navy Times. “You don’t rebel. You resign.”

The Navy accused Gallagher of murder and attempted murder, and was accused of fatally stabbing an ISIS prisoner reportedly on May 3, 2017.

Gallagher was found not guilty on July 2 of most charges but was convicted of posing for a photo with an ISIS fighter’s corpse, a crime for which the jury reduced his rank.

Democrats Give Nancy Pelosi Standing Ovation for Ripping Trump’s SOTU Speech

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) received a standing ovation from House Democrats on Wednesday morning for ripping up President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, according to The Hill.

During a closed-door caucus meeting, Pelosi expanded on why she tore up the president’s Tuesday speech at the conclusion of his remarks.

“He shredded the truth so I shredded his speech,” she told lawmakers, declaring that President Trump’s address was “a manifesto of mistruths.”

“You are supposed to talk about the State of the Union, not the State of your alleged mind,” she said to cheers and a standing ovation from her colleagues

Spy school: Chinese military officer busted for posing as Boston University student

A female Chinese military officer was charged with spying while posing as a student at Boston University, but was able to flee the country after FBI agents interviewed her about her links to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

PLA Lt. Ye Yanqing was indicted in a separate criminal case involving Dr. Charles Lieber, chairman of Harvard’s chemistry department, who was arrested on Tuesday and charged with lying about receiving tens of thousands of dollars from the Wuhan University of Technology and lying to the Pentagon about the foreign money.

The involvement of Lt. Ye and two other senior PLA officers highlights the Chinese military’s involvement in Beijing’s large-scale program of recruiting foreign specialists.

Where In The World Is Ghislaine Maxwell?

Ghislaine Maxwell Faces Worldwide Scorn For Her Role In Jeffrey Epstein Activities

The late accused human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s companion Ghislaine Maxwell is reportedly traveling internationally to foreign nations including Israel, according to the New York Post, as reported by The Jerusalem Post. The FBI pursues a formal investigation into her activities with Epstein, who was ruled dead by suicide in his New York jail cell in a case that has sparked worldwide speculation and scrutiny. Ghislaine Maxwell’s emails have reportedly been hacked, adding another dimension of panic to the situation for globalist elites who socialized with Maxwell and Epstein.

Epstein was identified as a Mossad agent who blackmailed world leaders with underage sex traps by former high-ranking Israeli intelligence official Ari Ben-Menashe, who has staked his reputation on the claims.

Ghislaine is not the only world traveler in her family.

Sunday Times Says British Intel Agent Fabricated Entire ‘P*ssGate’ Dossier, Media Silent

Christopher Steele, former MI6 spy is accused in a report written by a leading British Spy Writer of fabricating the dossier which accused

Christopher Steele, a former MI6 spy, is accused in a new report written by a leading British spy writer of fabricating the dossier which accused President Donald J. Trump of being compromised in the election due to Russian intelligence having compromising material on the president.

This dossier was used to allow the FBI permission to open several unwarranted investigations into Trump’s Cabinet members.

“The report, seen by The Sunday Times, concludes that ‘lapses’ in the dossier ‘bear the hallmarks of invention’ and concludes: ‘There is . . . a strong possibility that all Steele’s material has been fabricated,’ as published in The Sunday Times.

Immediately proceeding the Inspector General to the United Stated Justice Department issuing the report in December depicting Steele’s dossier as “hearsay,” Nigel West was free to go public with his findings.

UK to pass law to stop early release of terrorists by February 27, government source claims

Move follows Islamist attack earlier this month by man who had been released halfway through his prison term

The new emergency law will be introduced to parliament on Tuesday next week

Britain plans to pass emergency legislation by February 27 to prevent convicted terrorists automatically being released from prison halfway through their sentence, a government source said on Wednesday.

Justice minister Robert Buckland announced plans for the law earlier this week after an Islamist attacker stabbed two people in London on Sunday. Sudesh Amman had been released from prison halfway through his term on January 23, despite still being considered a risk by authorities.
