As of this moment, the National Guard is indefinitely prevented from deploying within the Chicagoland area. The court order was issued pending the Supreme Court’s decision to rule on the matter.

Russia delivered an ominous response Thursday after President Donald Trump unloaded a startling announcement that the United States would resume testing nuclear weapons, ending a more than three-decade hiatus. “The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country,” Trump wrote late Wednesday. “This was accomplished, including a complete update and renovation of existing weapons, during my First Term in office. Because of the tremendous destructive power, I HATED to do it, but had no choice! Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years. Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis. That process will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”Experts brutally fact-checked Trump’s claims, with one expert asserting “nothing” Trump wrote was true. He also faced intense criticism from lawmakers in Congress. Russia also responded to Trump’s announcement with a grim warning if the U. S. broke the decades-long moratorium on testing. A Kremlin spokesman told media outlets, “If someone departs from the moratorium, Russia will act accordingly.”.

‘The most transparent administration ever,” they said. Yes, we want our military members paid, but this screams of something nefarious. It always does with Donald J. Trump. For some reason, Erik Prince’s name sprang to mind when reading about this. CNN reports: The Trump administration plans to funnel a $130 million donation from an anonymous ally of President Donald Trump toward paying military service members during the government shutdown, the Defense Department confirmed on Friday. “The donation was made on the condition that it be used to offset the cost of Service members’ salaries and benefits,” chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement to CNN, adding that the money was accepted under the department’s “general gift acceptance authority.” The move marks a striking departure from government procedure for funding the military, which traditionally relies on public funds appropriated by Congress. And it raised immediate questions about the donor’s identity and motivations for cutting the nine-figure check to the government. The $130 million donation is unlikely to make any meaningful impact toward covering salaries of the roughly 1. 3 million active duty military troops, netting out to about $100 per service member. read more.
