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 †

Incoming Border Czar Tom Homan makes several really good points in this interview on Fox News. Regarding the number of “criminal illegal aliens” being reported, Homan notes that multiple large areas consider themselves “sanctuary cities” and do not report the immigration status of their jail/prison inmate population.
Homan also notes that if mayors and officials within sanctuary cities do not support the capture of criminal aliens, they will end up creating a system where both criminal and non-criminal aliens are captured and deported. As the agents look for the criminal aliens, they will not overlook the immigration status of anyone they encounter – regardless of criminal activity.
Tom Homan also notes they will need money for the deportation operation. This ties in well to the segment with Stephen Miller, where the Deputy Chief of Staff outlined an early immigration bill with border security money upfront. WATCH:

Stephen Miller appears on Fox News to discuss the priorities of the President Trump administration and the objectives of the first 100 days.
As outlined by Miller, domestic security, safety and immigration policy will lead the first legislative effort between the White House and congress.
As Senior Policy Advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller is hopeful the most transformative immigration bill in the past 50-years will be the first legislative victory for President Trump during his second term. From there, the legislative focus shifts to taxes, extension of the 2017 tax cuts in combination with regulatory reform. WATCH:

Syria is a hot mess. There’s only one face with a genuine smile today, Turkish Leader Recep Erdogan who has been attempting to leverage support for the “rebels” in Syria for a decade. Through the years U.S. policy in Syria essentially armed and supported various factions of al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, and eventually Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), whose leader, Abu Mohammed al-Golani, is essentially the Defacto head of the rebels who now control it.
What happens next is anyone’s guess. The various elements of Islamic rebellion fall under the political umbrella of the Muslim Brotherhood; however, they have yet to show an ability to effectively govern in any region or state without extreme authoritarian rule. Odds are high that Syria will tilt in that direction and eventually fall upon the only governing mechanism they understand, Sharia Law.
Joe Biden hails the efforts of the Syrian Rebels as a victory; however, these are the same rebels we armed and then fought repeatedly -in various iterations- as an outcome of U.S policy under the Obama/Biden administration. Lessons never learned from Benghazi, Syria is a hot mess.
.
(Via Fox News) – Islamist leader Abu Mohammed al-Golani, who led a lightning offensive through Syria, has a long history of extremism despite a recent appeal to moderate policies.
[…] Golani would cut ties with al Qaeda in 2016 and lead a merger between HTS and other Islamist groups in northwest Syria in 2017, bringing him control of territory that had fallen out of government hands during the country’s long civil war.
Using an image from his recent trip to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, President Trump posts a hilarious advertisement for his luxury perfume and cologne brand. “A fragrance your enemies can’t resist.”

Appearing on Meet the Press for an interview which was taped last Friday and aired Sunday morning, President-elect Donald Trump outlines his goals and objectives for the second administration term. Here is the FULL and EXTENDED interview. WATCH:
[Transcript] – KRISTEN WELKER: President-elect Donald Trump, welcome back to Meet the Press.
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: Thank you very much.
This is a critically important segment of the President Trump interview with NBC. Within this segment President Trump is asked whether he would direct, encourage or seek to have Attorney General Pam Bondi or FBI Director Kash Patel target the previous administration officials.
President Trump says there would be no instruction from him to appoint a special counsel or special investigator(s) for the conduct of Joe Biden or previous administration officials. However, President Trump also takes the opportunity to note the targeting and weaponization the former Biden administration directed toward him.
SEGMENT TRANSCRIPT – KRISTEN WELKER: Ok. Let’s talk about some of your picks to fill out your administration. You named Kash Patel to be the next FBI director.
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: Yeah.
KRISTEN WELKER: He has a list in his book of 60 people that he calls members of the so-called “deep state.” It includes Democrats like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. It includes former members of your cabinet, from Bill Barr to Christopher Wray. You campaigned on destroying the deep state. Do you want Kash Patel to launch investigations into people on that list?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: No. I mean, he’s going to do what he thinks is right. And I will —
KRISTEN WELKER: Well, do you think that’s right?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: — and I will —
KRISTEN WELKER: Do you think that’s right, sir?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: If they think that somebody was dishonest or crooked or a corrupt politician, I think he probably has an obligation to do it, but —
KRISTEN WELKER: Are you going to direct him to do it?
This should not come as a surprise to anyone who has paid close attention. In this segment of an NBC Meet the Press interview that took place on Friday and broadcast today, President Donald Trump outlines his intent for a larger message of “unity” to unite our country.
President Trump notes a successful and robust American economy brings the essential optimism that belies antagonism and argument. The leader of any large organization knows exactly what President Trump is referencing. When you are busy, there’s less time for division; so too does the same apply to our nation. With economic success for everyone, there’s less fuel for opposition. WATCH:

President Trump is focused on delivering positive policy outcomes for the American people, an era of abundance. The legacy of President Trump in the mind and life of Generation-Z, will be similar to the legacy of Ronald Reagan in the mind and life of Generation-X.
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea,
and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee,
and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region
of Ituraea and Trachonitis,
and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,
during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas,
the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the desert.
John went throughout the whole region of the Jordan,
proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,
as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah:
A voice of one crying out in the desert:
“Prepare the way of the Lord,
make straight his paths.
Every valley shall be filled
and every mountain and hill shall be made low.
The winding roads shall be made straight,
and the rough ways made smooth,
and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
“This was no small thing, to restore a republic after it had fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may have been that our task was impossible. Yet, if we did not try then how would we know it could not be done? And if we did not try, it most certainly would not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, would have been lost.”
“But I tell you this: We did not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we made with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
