This is The Daily Win / The Daily Battle thread.

If you wish to be a Winner too, and if you can proudly proclaim, "Still Not Over Winning Yet," all you need do is let me know on this thread. Don't send me a Freepmail, I might miss it.
(Warning: All this winning can become highly addictive. If you feel you are becoming too addicted to winning, we urge you to seek help at the Twelve Step Recovery Program, Winners Anonymous)

This thread will serve to record the "wins" that President Donald Trump achieves, and to acknowledge that we are sill in the battle for the soul of our country. I will post the wins as they come, and post analysis and/or strategies to defeat his Globalist/Elitist enemies as we work together to think of them. Please contribute whatever you can to either column!

President Trump's nominee, Tom Price, was confirmed to head the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Res. 41 that “blocks a misguided regulation from burdening American extraction companies.” President Trump plans to assign a trusted associate to lead a broad review of American intelligence agencies.

YET WE MUST REMEMBER, THE BATTLE IS NOT OVER: We always knew we would be facing extremely difficult odds 'draining the swamp', but it is shocking how deep the swamp is and how many forces are arrayed against President Trump. Consider: CNN, ABC, NBC, ABC, the NYT, the Washington Post (and similar publications) have descended to the level of total #FakeNews, simply making things up about Trump or exaggerating them entirely out of proportion. Elements of the intelligence community, presumably Obama employees and holdovers from the Bush era, are routinely committing major felonies leaking the most sensitive, most illegal SIGINT information that could possibly damage the President. The information could be entirely fabricated -- created from whole cloth -- and there is little to nothing the President can do to challenge it. Utterly unfair, possibly completely fabricated, but how does one defend oneself against anonymous people in the shadows passing unvetted information to a press that lies outright anyways? Many members of Congress and the Senate are Establishment Republicans, which is to say, aligned with Globalists. The entire Democrat party is made up of those same Globalists. They have started 'investigations' based on the accusations of anonymous sources in those intelligence communities passing this unvetted, possibly fabricated information. The Globalists hold a majority, when counted across party lines. These same individuals are launching investigations based upon matters that are absolutely overblown. The assertions are that Trumps team contacted Russian officials after the election. Yes, and so? It is entirely correct to do so, inasmuch as they were about to be dealing with those officials in mere weeks. They are also investigating (or planning to)obviously trivial matters, such as an off-hand and flippant remark by Kellyanne Conway, and will soon be going after others. The goal here is to strip Trump of his allies and aides. They are also slow-walking the approval of his other nominees, with the same goal of keeping Trump isolated and unable to instruct his agencies to act or respond. Employees of the various agencies, still owing their allegience to Obama and even taking indirect instruction from him, are sabotaging every single effort of the President. A former CIA Analyst asserted that former Obama Officials Were ‘Directly Involved’ with felonious leaks of the most sensitive SIGINT intelligence, and that Brennan (the former head of the CIA and an avowed Muslim) was ultimately to blame. A CNN reporter admitted that "CNN was paid by the Obama-era U.S. government for reporting on some events, and not reporting on others".

Tomorrows win: “The FBI reviewed intercepts of communications between the Russian ambassador to the United States and retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn — national security adviser to then-President-elect Trump — but has not found any evidence of wrongdoing or illicit ties to the Russian government, U.S. officials said.”

This is gonna make Dan Rather look like an ass.

Again.

[milagro]

I am on the left coast, so haven’t been in the habit of watching Fox and Friends at 3-6 am.
HOWEVER, happened to catch them a few times since the election, and really enjoy them because they are clearly pro Trump!
And this morning, they showed a tweet from Trump condemning the Intel leaks, and were obviously happy to see Trump going on the offense instead of defense over this issue!
Was really encouraged by their ( very obvious) pro Trump reporting!

[Renegade]

Bill headed to Trump’s desk for signing negating Obummer’s rule taking weapons away from SS reciepients who use third party to manage finances.

Please add me to your list. Will never tire of the winning and we must all be vigilant against the swamp creatures.

Looking back at federal budgets, we may need to scale FedGov back to its size under Clinton or even President Reagan.

FedGov 2016 $4.3T
FedGov 2014 $3.9T
FedGov 2012 $3.8T
FedGov 2010 $3.5T
FedGov 2008 $3.0T last year of George W. Bush
FedGov 2000 $1.8T last year of Bill Clinton
FedGov 1992 $1.4T last year of George H. W. Bush
FedGov 1988 $1.1T last year of President Ronald Reagan

To be fair, this should be adjusted for inflation and to some extent for population growth, but we are way past the point where slowing the growth of FedGov is anywhere near the answer.

https://www.minneapolisfed.org/community/teaching-aids/cpi-calculator-information/consumer-price-index-and-inflation-rates-1913

Adjusting based only on the somewhat simplistic consumer price index, Reagan’s budget would be $2.7T. I think that should be our spending target by the end of President Trump’s first term. The swamp has to be drained much faster than many of us were thinking. The empire is striking back, and we need to “starve the beast” not by cutting taxes but by slashing spending.

Where does the $1.6T I’m asking to cut come from? I’d start with the intelligence community. They have enough free time for treason and sedition; they have far too much staff.

I am not really surprised that there was no evidence of wrongdoing by Flynn. He would have been careful what he said to the Russian Ambassador, simply because the Russians would have a copy of his comments, and as a National Security expert, Flynn would know that. What he couldn't know, was that persons in the intelligence community would disseminate what he said. The rules of intelligence gathering expressly forbid what happened, and there are severe penalties for doing so. The people who are involved knowingly violated these rules, and this is where the investigation needs to concentrate.

My guess is that it is already known who was involved. While there are people hostile to President Trump in the intelligence communities, there are also going to be people who are loyal, and they will not hesitate to blow the whistle on wrongdoing by Obama loyalists. But will someone be prosecuted? This gets sticky now because it involves the interception of lawful communications engaged in by a Russian Ambassador and a private citizen. It's sticky because it means that the United States must admit intercepting communications from the Russian Ambassador, a diplomatic no no.

What is still inexplicable to me, is why Flynn wouldn't have been truthful when he was questioned about the call. He had nothing to lose by telling the truth. So is there something else he was worried about?
