Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

President Trump gave an impromptu presser to the assembled press pool on the tarmac at joint base Andrews.
One of the interesting topics noted was the South Korean auto battery plant in GA, and the illegal workers without visas that were busted by ICE. President Trump takes a very pragmatic position, and then later sent a Truth Social post highlighting the issue. WATCH:
(VIA TRUTH SOCIAL) – “Following the Immigration Enforcement Operation on the Hyundai Battery Plant in Georgia, I am hereby calling on all Foreign Companies investing in the United States to please respect our Nation’s Immigration Laws. Your Investments are welcome, and we encourage you to LEGALLY bring your very smart people, with great technical talent, to build World Class products, and we will make it quickly and legally possible for you to do so. What we ask in return is that you hire and train American Workers. Together, we will all work hard to make our Nation not only productive, but closer in unity than ever before. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”
SSCI Vice Chairman Mark Warner is not happy the Trump administration is subverting the oversight authorities of the SSCI and Gang-of-Eight. If you know the background of the SSCI and Warner, his frustration is a positive indication.
I’ll have much more to say about the ramifications of his anxiety and the background therein, but here’s the raw interview as broadcast for context of what will follow.
Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman, Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, told “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” that the committee was not briefed ahead of President Trump’s deadly Venezuelan boat strike that was allegedly carrying drugs. The mission was a military operation, but Warner said, “This kind of action should be briefed to the intelligence community.” WATCH:

Chopper pressers are the best pressers. A very deliberate and stern President Trump gives remarks to the assembled press pool as he departs the White House, heading to the U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York.
President Trump was not suffering fools in this short presser. WATCH:

Have you watched Director Kevin Hassett deliver media remarks before? Have you a generally good idea of his disposition and general commentary as delivered? If so, watch this interview and note how muted, monotoned and vanilla Hassett’s general elocution is as he cuts through the narrated questions.
Whenever someone is given the tap on the shoulder for a senior executive promotion, this exact change happens. I suspect Hassett is the next Federal Reserve Chair appointment. Just a hunch, but this is not the typical Hassett. WATCH:
[TRANSCRIPT] MARGARET BRENNAN: Good morning, and welcome to Face The Nation. We begin this morning with the Director of the National Economic Council, Kevin Hassett. Good morning and thank you for being here.
KEVIN HASSETT: Good morning. It’s great to be here.
MARGARET BRENNAN: In person.
KEVIN HASSETT: Yes.
