Growing ASAT Threat Behind New Space Force
by Bill Gertz
{freebeacon.com} ~ The growing threat to American satellites from Chinese and Russian anti-satellite weaponry was a key driver behind President Trump's directive creating a new space military force... Trump on Tuesday signed Space Policy Directive-4 ordering creation of a new U.S. Space Force to be a separate service within the Air Force —the military leader for national security space operations. "America must be fully equipped to defend our vital interests," Trump said in signing the directive. "Our adversaries are training forces and developing technology to undermine our security in space, and they're working very hard at that." The action follows the creation a Space Command in December that will coordinate space activities for all military services. Space is now an integral part of the American way of life and supports communications, finance, and transportation, among other services. Space systems also are vital for national security, providing intelligence, communications and precision navigation used in targeting weapons...Lou Dobbs and Gordon Chang Make the

Trump Officials, Congress Draw Battle Lines
as Fight Over Iran Heats Up
by Adam Kredo
{freebeacon.com} ~ Officials inside the Trump administration have been pursuing policies that would leave large parts of the nuclear deal with Iran in place, including limiting the amount of pressure placed on Tehran through financial and oil sanctions... according to multiple sources who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon about a growing inter-agency battle. These policies, which include waivers enabling Iran's continued oil production as well as its access to the global economy, have generated much tension with other parts of the Trump administration known to favor a more hardline approach. It also has riled Iran hawks on Capitol Hill who are currently working on various sanctions packages to further cripple the Iranian regime. The efforts by some within the administration to preserve the nuclear accord and keep it on life support during the Trump presidency has set the stage for a coming battle over U.S. policies to cripple the Iranian economy and choke its leadership. It has become increasingly clear in recent months that some elements of the Trump administration have used back-channel talks with the Europeans and other allies aimed at ensuring the nuclear deal remains in place, despite the president's efforts otherwise, sources told the Free Beacon. At least two pressing issues are likely to bring this fight to the forefront: The potential for the United States to grant more waivers to those who purchase Iranian crude oil and Tehran's continued funding of terrorist entities, including Hamas and Hezbollah... What the hell are these people doing..
German president lauds Iran on
revolution that seeks Israel's destruction
by Benjamin Weinthal
{jpost.com} ~ The president of Germany Frank Walter-Steinmeier sent a congratulatory telegram to Iran's mullah regime in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Islamic revolution... in the name of federal republic's citizens. Germany's largest paper Bild reported on Wednesday "On the 40th anniversary of that day, friendly greetings from Berlin arrived in Tehran by telegram: the President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier (63), sends 'Congratulations' on the occasion of the national holiday, 'also in the name of my compatriots."' Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday that the center "condemns German President’s congratulations to the most dangerous regime in the world, who are religious bigots, who hang Gays, and threaten genocide against Israel--home to the largest Jewish community in the world. When will he condemn their Holocaust denial?" The congratulatory note to a regime that seeks the destruction of the Jewish state and the United States of America has raised eyebrows and unleashed criticism on social media. The prominent German-Iranian dissident and public intellectual Nasrin Amirsedghi wrote on her Twitter feed that "Steinmeier congratulates the Terror-Mullahs." Bild wrote "Mass executions and torture; the brutal persecution of women, minorities, and the opposition; the installation of an Islamist terror state that threatens to annihilate Israel, that covers the Middle East with its militias, and that denies the Holocaust. All of this started in Iran on 11 February, 1979, the day of the 'Islamic Revolution,' when the mullahs seized power in Tehran."...Expanding Social Security for the rich (Huh?)
by Andrew G. Biggs
{foxbusiness.com} ~ Consider two groups of Americans: one group’s incomes have risen by 4 percent above inflation over the past two decades, according to Federal ReserveOpens a New Window. data... the second group’s incomes rose by 84 percent. So what’s the proposal from over 200 House Democrats? To raise taxesOpens a New Window. on the first group to pay higher benefits to the second. Those two groups are working-age households and retirees, and over 80 percent of House Democrats have co-sponsored legislation – the Social Security 2100 Act – that would do precisely as described: raise taxes on working-age households who have seen only skimpy income growth in order to “expand” Social Security benefits for retirees whose incomes have risen rapidly. We all know Social Security faces a funding shortfall, driven by low birth rates and rising life spans. Today, however, newly-emboldened Congressional Democrats don’t merely want to fill the Social Security funding gap with new taxes. They want to raise taxes enough to expand the program’s benefits, for rich and poor alike. No one denies that some retirees are falling short, and many proposals exist to help them. I’ve argued for a true minimum Social Security benefit that ensures that no retiree lives in poverty. So the question isn’t whether Social Security should boost benefits for the poor. Democrats and Republicans agree that it should... https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/raising-taxes-to-expand-social-security-for-the-rich-huh?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWmpCbFl6Sm1ZelJsTlRsayIsInQiOiJ5NldWeEkxaEJ5YVpSK0JXb0UwN0xTeEJNM3ExNld1NmZUMWtFb0RvRVFOaW1mTWZTalRZaitCbklEZ0E0MnlXaFJ6WnEzZVBDa1h6N09xcGNpV1VmejRGYW1NNXhqb1o3dGtFelR2VnRIYTMwTEFOVldnUWVUMllyRmxLTm5YaCJ9

I am just as surprise as you. America should be overly angry. They should be shouting out loud to get the hell out of this country without any thing.
