DONALD J. TRUMP ANNOUNCES SENATOR SESSIONS AS CHAIRMAN OF NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Senator Sessions to Provide Strategic Counsel to Mr. Trump on Foreign Policy and Homeland Security
(New York, NY) March 3rd, 2016 - Today Donald J. Trump announced Senator Jeff Sessions, who has advised the GOP frontrunner on issues such as trade and immigration and endorsed Mr. Trump on Sunday in Alabama, will serve as Chairman of Mr. Trump's National Security Advisory Committee. Senator Sessions has been on the Armed Services Committee for almost 20 years and is Chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee.
Mr. Trump stated, "It is an honor to have Jeff as a member of the team. I have such great respect for him and I look forward to working with him on the issues most important to Americans."
Senator Sessions added, "I am grateful for the opportunity to recommend and facilitate discussions among exceptional and experienced American military and diplomatic leaders to share insight and advice with Donald Trump, regardless of their political views. Mr. Trump and the American people know our country needs a clear-eyed foreign policy rooted in the national interest. We need to understand the limits of our ability to intervene successfully in other nations. It is time for a healthy dose of foreign policy realism. In the Middle East, this means forming partnerships based on shared interests, not merely overthrowing regimes in the dangerous attempt to plant democracies. We must also combat the refugee crisis by creating regional safe zones, rather than depopulating the region by migration. The only path to long-term stability and resolution of this humanitarian crisis for the United States and our European allies is to work towards the safe return of migrants to their home countries, as Mr. Trump has noted. This strategy will also protect our own national security."
Sessions continued, "A national-interest foreign policy, combined with a military second to none, stands in contrast to interventionist ideas that could enmesh us further in the region's chaos. After over a decade of war and conflict, this country has a host of smart, experienced, and proven leaders. That wisdom must be sought. These meetings will be the beginning of a process that Mr. Trump has called for and which he believes must result in a clear and realistic bipartisan global strategy that will guide our nation for years to come."
Mr. Trump will continue to announce members of his National Security Advisory Committee and other advisors on key issues over the next few weeks.
EXCELLENT MOVE!
He goes to the TOP of the LIST for VP possibilities.
Don’t forget extortion 17.
Take that, GOP.
“He goes to the TOP of the LIST for VP possibilities.”
With Session’s outstanding credentials, I’d like to see him as Secretary of Defense. Our military has been weakened by the traitors, fruitcakes and wimps in the Obuma administration. The Augean Stables in the Pentagon and DOD need a major cleaning.
Great move! VP maybe?
Sessions must have been rethinking his endorsement last night when Trump was getting his A$$ KICKED in the debate.
No way I can vote for Trump. He defends Planned Parenthood and wrote 10 checks to Hillary.
Absolutely! Jeff Sessions could do much more for our country as SECDEF than as VP.
I don't doubt in the least he and a President Trump would turn the social experiments around in our military.
Go ahead, stomp your feet.
This election is going to be won by a visionary, not a bean counter.
I've got children and grandchildren to think about, I want the visionary.
a wise decision
I bet Sessions taught Rubio all about the ‘nuclear triad’ that Rubio treats like the new phrase of the day
RINO SESSIONS - is it any surprise.
Oh, wait a minute...
Flight Student Facing Deportation Over Trump Post
By Russ Niles
A commercial flight school student from Egypt is in jail in California after he posted what immigration officials perceive as a threat to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. It appears the Immigration and Customs Enforcement department is intent on deporting Emadeldin Elsayed for the Facebook post even though there was not enough evidence to charge him criminally. In the post, Elsayed said he would be willing to go to prison for life for killing Trump and the world would thank him for it. Elsayed and his lawyer Hani Bushra both have said the post was dumb and Elsayed said he regretted hitting the button as soon as he did it. He said he was reacting to Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from the U.S. temporarily. “It’s just a stupid post. You can find thousands of these every hour on Facebook and the media,” he told The Associated Press in a phone interview from jail. “I don’t know why would they think I am a threat to the national security of the United States just because of a stupid post.”
It apparently took the Secret Service and immigration officials more than a week to determine it was more serious than a “stupid post.” He was interviewed by the Secret Service shortly after he put up the post and eight days later they returned to tell him that while he didn’t break the law, his visa to attend flight school was being revoked. He said the agent who interviewed him spoke about the mass killing in nearby San Bernardino by a Muslim couple and the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. Elsayed will appear at an immigration hearing to discover his fate but it appears Customs and Immigration has already determined the outcome. The department issued a statement saying the student pilot violated “the terms of his admission to the United States.” Elsayed said that if he’s deported he’ll seek a refund of the $65,000 he paid Universal Air Academy and get his training elsewhere. Universal Air Academy owner Alex Khatib said he’d welcome Elsayed back. “He is honestly a good student,” Khatib said. “He seemed to be a good guy.”

Re: the checks to Hillary Clinton:
Also, Trump is against abortion and the Federal funding of the same, through Planned Parenthood.
