President Donald Trump Addresses Shooting at Republican Congressional Baseball Practice (VIDEO)
YES, THAT WAS PRESIDENTIAL AND AT SOME POINT THE LEFT IS GOING TO HAVE TO COME TO GRIPS WITH THE FACT, HE IS THE PRESIDENT …
President Trump addresses America and announced that the gunman had died after opening fire earlier this morning on members of Congress practicing for a charity baseball game in Alexandria, Virginia, injuring Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Louisiana, the House majority whip, and four others. President Trump praised the heroic actions of the two Capitol Police officers who took down the gunman. He also praised the first reponders and asked for our prayers for the family and lived ones of those injured. President Trump also called for a nation to come together for the common good.
The rhetoric has got to stop, the escalation of hate and this never-ending anti-Trump and Republican vitriol from the LEFT and the MSM has got to stop. It is ruining this country. And as we can see, there are some people who take it to an absurd extreme.
“As you all know, shortly after 7 a.m. this morning, a gunman opened fire on members of Congress and their staffs.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the crime, and the assailant has now died from his injuries. The FBI is leading the investigation and will continue to provide updates as new information becomes available.
Congressman Steve Scalise, a member of House leadership, was shot and badly wounded and is now in stable condition at the hospital, along with two very courageous Capitol Police officers. At least two others were also wounded.
Many lives would have been lost, if not for the heroic actions of the two Capitol Police officers who took down the gunman despite sustaining gunshot wounds during a very, very brutal assault. Melania and I are grateful for their heroism and praying for the swift recovery of all victims.
Congressman Scalise is a friend – and a very good friend. He is a patriot and he’s a fighter. He will recover from this assault, and Steve, I want you to know that you have the prayers, not only of an entire city behind you, but of an entire nation, and frankly, the entire world. America is praying for you and America is praying for all of the victims of this terrible shooting.
I spoke with Steve’s wife, Jennifer, and I pledged to her our full and absolute support – anything she needs. We’re with her and with the entire Scalise family.
I’ve also spoken with Chief Matthew Verderosa — he’s doing a fantastic job — of the Capitol Police, to express our sympathies for his wounded officers and to express my admiration for their courage. Our brave Capitol Police performed a challenging job with incredible skill and their sacrifice makes democracy possible.
We also commend the brave first responders from Alexandria Police Fire and Rescue, who rushed to the scene.
Everyone on that field is a public servant. Our courageous police, our Congressional aides who work so tirelessly behind the scenes with enormous devotion, and our dedicated members of Congress who represent our people.
We may have our differences, but we do well to remember in times like these that everyone who serves in our nation’s capitol is here because, above all, they love our country. We can all agree that we are blessed to be Americans, that our children deserve to grow up in a nation of safety and peace, and that we are strongest when we are unified and when we work together for the common good.
Please take a moment today to cherish those you love and always remember those who serve and keep us safe. God bless them all. God bless you. And God bless America.”

First New Coal Mine of President Donald Trump Era Opens in Pennsylvania
THERE IS A REASON WHY PENNSYLVANIA WENT REPUBLICAN IN 2016 …
As reported at Fox News Insider, the first new coal mine has opened during the President Trump presidency in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, just outside of Pittsburgh. Check another one off the list of campaign promises for Trump. Who honestly thinks this ever would have happened had Hillary Clinton been elected? Clinton wanted to put coal miners out of business, much like the previous eight years of Obama. Does anyone really wonder why blue collar Democrats in states like PA, OH and MI voted Republican?
President Trump lauded the opening of the nation’s first new coal mine in recent memory.
Corsa Coal Company will operate the mine in Somerset County, Pa. – outside of Pittsburgh.
Corsa CEO George Dethlefsen said the mine will be a boon to the struggling local economy.
He praised Trump’s easing of regulations and encouragement for fossil fuel exploration.
Dethlefsen told Leland Vittert that for the 70 positions available in the mine, 400 people applied.
“It’s a hard day’s work every day, but it’s worth it,” one miner said.
Vittert said the news contrasts with Hillary Clinton’s message that she would “put a lot of coal miners out of work.”

President Trump Taps Former Assistant Attorney General Christopher Wray as New FBI Director
TRUMP NOMINATES CHRISTOPHER WRAY TO BE NEW FBI DIRECTOR …
In a tweet this morning from President Donald Trump, he has picked former assistant attorney general Christopher Wray as new FBI director. Trump also posted on Twitter that Wray is a “man of impeccable credentials” and saying more details would follow. Christopher Wray is currently a partner at the Washington law firm King & Spalding and led the Justice Department’s Criminal Division from 2003 to 2005 under President GWB. According to the NY Times, Wray is a safe, mainstream pick from a president who at one point was considering politicians for a job that has historically been kept outside of politics. Wray appears to be a breath of fresh air to the FBI director position.
President Trump said Wednesday that he had selected the former federal prosecutor Christopher Wray, now a partner at the Washington law firm King & Spalding, to be his new F.B.I. director.
The announcement comes a day before the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey was scheduled to testify about Mr. Trump’s attempts to get him to end the bureau’s investigation into his former national security adviser’s contacts with Russia. The action may represent an attempt to inject credibility into an investigation rocked by controversy and accusations of presidential tampering.
Mr. Wray is a safe, mainstream pick from a president who at one point was considering politicians for a job that has historically been kept outside of politics. Mr. Wray, a former assistant attorney general overseeing the criminal division under President George W. Bush, is likely to allay the fears of F.B.I. agents who worried that Mr. Trump would try to weaken or politicize the F.B.I.

President Donald Trump to Withdraw from Paris Climate Deal
SHOULD THIS BE A SURPRISE, HE CAMPAIGNED AND WON THE PRESIDENCY ON DOING SO …
As reported at The Politico, President Donald Trump is expected to pull the United States out of the Paris climate change agreement. A note to the Politico news that acts like an OPED, it is not a victory for the nationalist wing of Trump’s White House, it is a victory for America and Americans. Donald Trump campaigned during the 2016 presidential election against the myths of man-made global warming and won. Trump is simply fulfilling a campaign promise to the People. As stated at Axios, pulling out of Paris is the biggest thing Trump could do to unravel Obama’s climate legacy. Aww, poor Obama won’t have a legacy … at least the United States of America will!!!
President Donald Trump is planning to pull the United States out of the Paris climate change agreement, according to a White House official, in a move that is certain to infuriate America’s allies across the globe and could destabilize the 2015 accord.
The upcoming decision is a victory for hardliners such as senior White House adviser Stephen Bannon, who argued that the deal would hobble the U.S. economy and Trump’s energy agenda, and a defeat for moderates like Trump’s daughter Ivanka, who feared that withdrawing would damage U.S. relations abroad. Trump had promised during the campaign to “cancel” the nearly 200-nation agreement, the most comprehensive climate pact ever negotiated.
Axios first reported the news that Trump would withdraw.
World leaders repeatedly pressed Trump on the issue during his recent trip to Europe, as did Pope Francis, who gave the president his papal encyclical on climate change when they met in the Vatican. Others who supported staying included Trump’s secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, and major oil companies such as ExxonMobil and Shell.
But the vast campaign to persuade the U.S. to remain ultimately did not sway the president.
