Trump Signs Two Executive Orders; Expands Power of Military, ‘Extreme Vetting’
NBC News ^ | January 27, 2017 | PHIL MCCAUSLAND and COURTNEY KUBE

Posted on 01/27/2017 1:59:33 PM PST by Truth29

President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Friday that dramatically expand the nation's military and so-called "extreme vetting" of visa seekers from terror-plagued countries — moves aimed at strengthening the U.S. response to terrorism both home and abroad.

In signing the order, Trump pledged to "keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America."

Extreme vetting is an idea that evolved from Trump's controversial Muslim ban that he called for in Dec. 2015, which would address the refugees entering the country.

"We've taken in tens of thousands of people. We know nothing about them," Trump said in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity on Thursday. "They can say they vet them. They didn't vet them. They have no papers. How can you vet somebody when you don't know anything about them and you have no papers?"

What you posted as the title of the article was FALSE and misleading. You changed the name and I am sure this is against FR posting rules.

The real name of the article is "Trump Signs Order Suspending Admission of Syrian Refugees" and this changes the complete context of the post. The vetting statement was in reference to NOT being able to do extreme vetting for lack of information as I pointed out.

I rescind my previous post and thank President Trump for his action on this.

Not positive, but the bust didn’t go back to England but to either the Brit embassy in D.C. Or some other room in the whitehouse.

The title was exactly as copied from NBC news. If it is different now, NBC changed later. Why don't you research its history on the wayback machine or somewhere else. Consider the charges you throw around so carelessly.

No burkas in northcentral PA .. come on over

I've got family there. I own property there, spitting distance of a mosque. Yes, in what some call Middle of Nowhere, PA. There are almost as many muslims as Mennonites.

I was there last summer (in Sunbury) and saw a woman swathed in black robes, trying to push a baby carriage up a steep hill in 90 degree weather. She looked like she was about to pass out, she was staggering so bad. Several young children alongside her.

Well, if you want to pay very low property taxes, central PA is a great place to retire. It doesn’t get as cold as Buffalo but it can’t compete with AZ. You can get a decent farmhouse for well under $100k, and if you take the time to hunt you can find good solid homes for under $50k, in low crime neighborhoods.
But if you don’t enjoy winter, think twice!

How could I forget! If gun ownership is a major factor in your selection process, pick Pennsylvania every time.

That list of countries he made banning immigration into the USA, why isn’t Saudi Arabia on it?? 911 hijackers including OBL were from that country. I just asked Trump this on Twitter and now the left is accusing him of not putting a ban on that country because of $$$$

It was reported that he sent it back, but like everything else we can’t get an honest answer from the press.

There were two busts. ONe on loan to Bush which was returned and the other from the 1960s. I think Obama replaced that one with the MLK one. He did not return it, as it was ours. He probably stuck it somewhere else.

Thank you, Buttons. I’m more a winter person than a summer person. I’ll take a look, thank you!

In my experience up here the past 15yrs, those examples sound like exceptions that prove the overwhelming rule.

Am curious if the face of burka girl was of an actual middle eastern complexion or a black/white idiot dhimmi 'convert' ?

Regardless, those few simply must know that if/when things ever devolve to cowboys vs muzzards, their chances around here are very very poor.

Granted that no place on this Earth is Nirvana, but if one avoids Williamsport and Sunbury, this area is about as traditional America as it gets anywhere in the country, TX included  ;-)

Well, Oklahoma might argue with that, but I was born in the midwest and am grateful to only have to hear about tornadoes on the news.

Most of the leftmedia wailing right now is about the handful of people who were on flights when the order was signed and got detained once they hit our borders. Looks like maybe a dozen people.

I couldn't see her face at all. However, I know by their clothing and past experience they are Pakistani muslims.

Wait a few minutes and I'll PM you.

Extreme vetting=keeping his sworn duty to God to enforce Congressional American laws, a rare thing since President Reagan in a fallen American law system ignored by rinos and democrats.

I pray the Lord Jesus Christ will lead and protect our law enforcing President Donald Trump whose duty is to enforce Congressional law in America and for American citizens, as he swore and is doing.

I am loooking for this information also, to respond to a liberal family member and Trump-hater who is asking me about this this morning. The left is claiming that any country with which Trump has business interests is not on the list. Sigh.

When is he going to sign an EO allowing military chaplains to pray in Jesus’ name?????? And, he recently said that now was not the time to discuss moving the embassy to Jerusalem?? Why not?? He said he was. Simply tell Foggy Bottom to do what the Congress passed the law back in the 1990s to do. Sign the stinking EO to do it.

Fortunately, Trump is NOT Churchill.

I do not know why Churchill gets as free pass for Yalta, where he enthusiastically backed the plan to sacrifice 100 million European Christians to Stalin’s Hellish regime.

True, the Americans were led at the treaty conference by terminally ill FDR, and at least one of the chief negotiators was an actual Soviet agent. But (allegedly drunken) Churchill sang Stalin’s praises.

Yalta was one of the most vile and pathetic actions in history.

Chamberlain ceded the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia, filled with Germans sliced away by Versailles and wanting to return to Germany. For this, he is damned by History as APPEASEMENT.

Give me a break! What Churchill did was INFINITELY WORSE.
