Trump's first round of executive orders...

One of the best-wired Republican lobbyists in town emails Axios previewing the initial phase of Trump executive actions:

Look for a possible hiring freeze at executive branch 5-year lobbying ban on transition and administration officials

Mexico City policy, which prevents foreign NGOs from getting U.S. family planning money if they provide abortions with non-U.S. funds. (It's already illegal to use U.S dollars on abortions.)

Task the Defense Secretary and joint chiefs to come up with plan to eviscerate ISIS

Report on readiness, and something cyber security related Border/immigration: Something on sanctuary cities, expand E-Verify, an extreme vetting proposal

Trade: Withdraw from TPP and a thorough review of NAFTA

What else we're hearing: The Mexico City executive order could come as soon as today.

Also, watch for dozens of EPA executive orders coming down the pike. Says a Trump source: "EPA has clean water-related and some 30,000 foot regulatory ones lined up [immediately]...We have dozens for the EPA...Starting Monday through the month of February. We have to roll them out gradually."

How about something like, we’re choosing which Wall Bricks are best, which barbed wire is best...

Hard to choose between the two verbs, eviscerate and eradicate.

Eviscerate sounds more painful (plus), but eradicate sounds more metaphysically thorough (plus).

Would it be possible to first eviscerate ISIS, then eradicate it, for good measure? :)

I read here a month or so ago of a jail in an East European county (can't remember which one) had a factory that made Concertina wire coils....product was used to construct a new border to halt the flow of islamics.

Need some of that here...better than making number plates.

What I would like, is for them to build a wall without footholds and handholds built into it to facilitate the ease of climbing over it.

It infuriates me every time I see that video of drug runners easily climbing over the wall; and, you can see that they have places to hold onto and to put their feet upon to push them up and over the wall. Who chose this wall??
