Notations On Our World: On @POTUS Watch w/The View From the White House

The White Hosue has just launched "1600 Daily" with its' view on what has been going on.  What our team found interesting was how only the conservative-leaning media was cited in its' reporting.    It was also quite a remarkable press conference as The President's Budget Director used very blunt language in his assessment when he was in the Press Room.   The blunt answer in response to the proposed reduced funding for the UN in light of the famine affecting 20 Million People was especially striking.   It must be noted that the 62-Page Document is just a blueprint.   The Administration is slated to deliver its' budget in May.

A sampling of "1600 Daily" is noted below":

WHITE HOUSE MEMO:

The President's reforms will bring down costs and increase access to coverage for millions of Americans. It's time to repeal the disaster known as Obamacare and replace it with a system that puts the interests of the people first.

Notations On Our World: On #Europe Watch W/the Dutch Elections & @POTUS Watch

The Dutch have re-elected the Prime Minister to a New Term seeing off the Challenge From the Far-Right.    It is a rather complicated structure as underscored by this courtesy of +Al Jazeera English :

After Brexit and the Election of Donald Trump in the United States, someone noted that Common Sense seems to have prevailed.    The next major test of populism is France as Elections loom there as the Conservative Candidate Francois Fillon has been indicted on Graft Charges related to the Fake Job Scandal.     

Meanwhile, in the United States, President Trump's Travel  Ban was blocked by a Federal District Judge in Hawaii on the eve of its' going into effect.  Professor Jonathan Turley just released an analysis of this which is worth noting.   This is as  5 Republican Judges on the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit noted their approval of the President's authority (available by clicking here...)  
It will be quite interesting to see where this all goes...
