That i mentioned a moment ago. So, in essence, the president has asked for a blank check, when he himself acknowledged this morning in my presence that he knows we need to address this problem and it will just get worse if we dont.

At the same time the president makes that acknowledgment, at the same time his own secretary of Homeland Security identifies more authority, the president , its reported, that he actually wanted to expand this deferred action executive order that he issued in 2012 and say to more people who h
He did say whether it was a physical, weather was the russians themselves to pull the trigger or russian separatist trained by russians its all the same and all goes back ultimately to Vladimir Putin. So that is an indication that based on somebody who has reviewed the classified intelligence assessment that president putin is responsible and that is why we are, targeting russia for the actions.

For three weeks weve seen the fighting going on in israel and the gaza strip carried on between the Israeli Military and hamas. In both gaza and israel lives, unfortunately, are being lost, homes are tried, families are devastated, security is threatened and daily life is polluted by this war. Since the fighting began, hamas has made it abundantly clear that it is unwilling to behave in any responsible manner. The organization is using civilian areas such as schools and hospitals, mosques, and playgrounds as rocket launching sites.
