RailGunner's Journal: This is tremendous...

I voted for Ted Cruz in the primary, but if this is how Trump plans to govern I'm really going to start liking the guy.

Directing Executive Agencies to start cutting regulations via Executive Order?

EXCELLENT. This is how executive orders should be used; telling executive branch agencies to get their act together.

Hiring Freeze on Bureaucrats?

EXCELLENT!

Temporarily stopping entry of people from Terrorist hot-beds as defined by Obama and Congress until we can get a true vetting process so we don't import another Dzhokhar Tsarnaev?

WELL DONE.

I know the liberals around here don't like that, but:
* Federal Law allows the President to do this
* Obama did it to Iraqis; so I have to ask, dear liberals, Where was your hand wringing and gnashing of teeth then?

Now Trump needs to nominate a Scalia-type Justice to the Supreme Court and get that National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act through.

Still leaves Saudi Arabia and Qatar wide open

But hey, business is business, right?

Yeah, I'm pretty happy

This way we can get the recession going sooner rather than later. Suits my portfolio just fine.

Unfortunately, Chechnya's not on the list

Thus Trump's temporary ban on immigrants (until we can get the refugees background checked) would not have stopped the Tsarnaev brothers.

In fact, the list looks a little arbitrary, and slightly suspicious.

Well, yeah, he has no hotels or any other real estate there. The list is from an old Obama visa restriction thing (Division O, Title II, Section 203 of the 2016 consolidated appropriations act).

... cause it's the list Obama / Congress approved back in 2015.

So, like always, what's old is new again... Guess we could've just elected Hillary after all.

... except that Trump, so far, has essentially been doing everything he said he would.

Watch for a hammer to fall on the H1-B Visa Criminal Enterprises screwing Americans next.
