President Donald J. Trump Proclaims October 9, 2017, as Columbus Day

COLUMBUS DAY, 2017

- - - - - - -

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

Five hundred and twenty-five years ago, Christopher Columbus completed an ambitious and daring voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. The voyage was a remarkable and then-unparalleled feat that helped launch the age of exploration and discovery. The permanent arrival of Europeans to the Americas was a transformative event that undeniably and fundamentally changed the course of human history and set the stage for the development of our great Nation. Therefore, on Columbus Day, we honor the skilled navigator and man of faith, whose courageous feat brought together continents and has inspired countless others to pursue their dreams and convictions — even in the face of extreme doubt and tremendous adversity.

More than five centuries after his initial voyage, we remember the “Admiral of the Ocean Sea” for building the critical first link in the strong and enduring bond between the United States and Europe. While Isabella I and Ferdinand II of Spain sponsored his historic voyage, Columbus was a native of the City of Genoa, in present day Italy, and represents the rich history of important Italian American contributions to our great Nation. There can be no doubt that American culture, business, and civic life would all be much less vibrant in the absence of the Italian American community. We also take this opportunity to reaffirm our close ties to Columbus’s country of birth, Italy. Italy is a strong ally and a valued partner in promoting peace and promoting prosperity around the world.

In commemoration of Christopher Columbus’s historic voyage, the Congress, by joint resolution of April 30, 1934, and modified in 1968 (36 U.S.C. 107), as amended, has requested the President proclaim the second Monday of October of each year as “Columbus Day.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 9, 2017, as Columbus Day. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I also direct that the flag of the United States be displayed on all public buildings on the appointed day in honor of our diverse history and all who have contributed to shaping this Nation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand seventeen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-second.

DONALD J. TRUMP”

From Mark Knoeller the SNIDE REPORTER

Pres Trump back at his Virginia golf club. 3rd day in a row. Raining in DC but not there, says press pool.

WH confirms Pres Trump accompanied by @LindseyGrahamSC for a round of golf today. By my count, its @POTUS 18th visit to his VA golf club.

*From:* Cameron Joseph

*Date:* October 9, 2017 at 11:16:24 AM EDT *Subject:**In-town pool report #1*

Good morning on a wet, muggy day in D.C. Pool departed from the White House at 11:15 a.m., destination unknown... though staff loaded golf clubs into one of the cars. POTUS was briefly spotted getting into the beast wearing a white hat and black jacket. ******************************************

*From:* Cameron Joseph *Date:* October 9, 2017 at 12:03:26 PM EDT *Subject:**In-town pool report #2a: Graham confirmed by WH*

A White House staffer informed the pool that Trump will indeed "be golfing with Senator Graham today" almost immediately after the last pool report went out.

************************************************************

Subject: WTAS: PRAISE FROM THE PRESIDENT’S CABINET FOR THE NEW IMMIGRATION PRIORITIES

THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

October 9, 2017

*WHAT THEY ARE SAYING: PRAISE FROM THE PRESIDENTS CABINET FOR THE NEW IMMIGRATION PRIORITIES*

*Attorney General Jeff Sessions:* For decades the American people rightly have pleaded with their government for a lawful system of immigration. They have asked for secure borders and an immigration system that serves the national interest. Unfortunately, over the last several decades respect for the rule of law has broken down and immigration enforcement has been sacrificed for the sake of political expediency. This has made us less secure and it cannot stand. Now President Trump has put forth a series of proposals that will restore the rule of law to our immigration system, prioritize Americas safety and security, and end the lawlessness. These are reasonable proposals that will build on the early success of President Trumps leadership. This plan will work. If followed it will produce an immigration system with integrity and one in which we can take pride. Perhaps the best result will be that unlawful attempts to enter will continue their dramatic decline. I applaud President Trump and urge Congress to listen to the American people and swiftly pass these commonsense proposals into law. The Department of Justice stands ready to continue making our neighborhoods and communities safe and secure again.

*Department of Homeland Security Acting Secretary Elaine Duke:* When crafting the Administrations immigration principles, the President asked us to focus on measures that will assist the Department of Homeland Securitys law enforcement personnel with what they need to enforce our immigration laws, secure our border, and protect American communities across this country. DHS frontline personnel identified many of the principles outlined today, including closing loopholes in our ability to enforce immigration laws and eliminating the magnets for illegal immigration. I look forward to working with Congress on legislation that will enact many of these common sense and necessary reforms that will inevitably better secure our nation.

*U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross*: I support his request to secure our borders, swiftly return illegal entrants, stop visa fraud and overstays, sanctuary cities, asylum abuse and chain immigration, as well as exploitative employment of illegal aliens. This will take money for more ICE officers, more federal prosecutors and more physical barriers. That will be money well spent!

*Secretary Of State Rex Tillerson:* The Presidents new immigration priorities are focused on keeping Americans safe, ensuring our sovereignty through strong borders, and preserving our country as a nation of laws. The first duty of the federal government is to provide for the national security of the American people, and President Trumps measures will end vulnerabilities in our immigration system that hinder our ability to protect our homeland. The State Department will do its part by, among other measures, continuing to crack down on passport fraud, making sure all visa applicants are thoroughly screened, and putting pressure on countries to curb illegal immigration at the source. Working together with other federal agencies, we will continue to implement measures that strengthen vetting of those referred for refugee resettlement. Even as we take new steps to protect Americans, we will make sure the United States remains a beacon of liberty for people the world over.

Hi All....

Just ending our Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. Lots of food and fun. Think I’ll tune in to Hannity and see if he expands on his “tick tock” tweet. I notice he doesn’t have the Circa people on much these days, and little talk about the criminality of the Obama/Clinton gang....maybe that’s because something is about to happen. Hopefully I have one more thing for which to give thanks!

My niece and her family live in Santa Rosa. They were told to evacuate. I saw a posting from her on Facebook a couple of hours ago and she said she thinks so far their home is ok, but has friends who lost theirs. So sad.
