WASHINGTON (AP) Raised voices could be heard through the thick door to the Oval Office as John Kelly then secretary of Homeland Security offered some tough talk to President Donald Trump.
Kelly, a whip-cracking retired general who was sworn in as White House chief of staff on Monday, had demanded to speak to the president alone after Trump complained loudly that the U.S. was admitting travelers from countries he viewed as high risk.
Kelly first tried to explain to Trump that the admissions were standard some people had legitimate reasons to visit the country but the president insisted that it was making him look bad, according to an administration official familiar with the exchange about a month ago.
Kelly then demanded that other advisers leave the room so he could speak to the president frankly. Trump refused at first, but agreed when Kelly insisted.
It was an early indication that Kelly, a decorated retired Marine general who served three tours in Iraq, is not afraid to stand up to his commander-in-chief.

Well, then they went on to talk about the appointment. I think they sort of buried the lede or something.
I mean, so what if he stands up to the President? What does that say? The President just appointed him Chief of Staff, so what does it say? It says the President LIKES people who stand up to him who tell him the truth without any bullscat. That’s what *I* think it says.
Good Job!!! PING...
For pity’s sake. It was posted here this morning Kelly has persuaded the President not to build a wall - a fence would do the job. These fellas are wasting so much ink on garbage using FAKE NEWS, when the ball busters begin, there will be no ink with which to write.
I’d give them a Bronx cheer but at the moment just don’t have it in me.
LOLOL!!!
LOL! You nailed the feelings of many. HA!
The "chaos in the White House" themed stories are one of Podesta's signature concepts. My guess is he's assisting Obama's war room in generating ideas for their daily briefs/instructions to the MSM and the social media teams.

What you wrote, Dave—good idea.
The fake news excreted here lately on America’s Premiere Conservative site by concerned posters is as thick as stink on a skunk.
FR isn’t Huff`nPuff, 4chan or Slate. These rotting-in-the-sun, fermented shad sides posts get the gullible and concern trolls all het up.
And most of us don’t want to wade through that crap only to find, “Gee, I’m sure glad I didn’t step/click on that!”
I clicked on a WashCompost article posted here the other day, and had to disable notices from those scheissters that kept popping up on my screen.
(Going to window, shouting at clouds & shaking fist.)
Series, stop posting this **** you maroons!
The WH is still leaking.
GANG, it’s the AP. ALINSKY PROPAGANDA!
Since this is old news, Rince Prebius is now emptying out his notebook and giving it to the Fake Press that’s going to be shut out of any further leaks.
This never would have leaked if the Mooch was there.
