to provide independent military options for national leadership; and to enhance the lethality and effectiveness of the Joint Force.  The United States Space Force should include both combat and combat support functions to enable prompt and sustained offensive and defensive space operations, and joint operations in all domains.  The United States Space Force shall be organized, trained, and equipped to meet the following priorities:     (a)  Protecting the Nation's interests in space and the peaceful use of space for all responsible actors, consistent with applicable law, including international law;     (b)  Ensuring unfettered use of space for United States national security purposes, the United States economy, and United States persons, partners, and allies;     (c)  Deterring aggression and defending the Nation, United States allies, and United States interests from hostile acts in and from space;     (d)  Ensuring that needed space capabilities are integrated and available to all United States Combatant Commands;     (e)  Projecting military power in, from, and to space in support of our Nation's interests; and     (f)  Developing, maintaining, and improving a community of professionals focused on the national security demands of the space domain.     Sec. 4.  Scope.  (a)  The legislative proposal required by section 3 of this memorandum shall, in addition to the provisions required under section 3 of this memorandum, include provisions that would, if enacted:             (i)   consolidate existing forces and authorities for military space activities, as appropriate, in order to minimize duplication of effort and eliminate bureaucratic inefficiencies; and             (ii)  not include the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Reconnaissance Office, or other non-military space organizations or missions of the United States Government.     (b)  The proposed United States Space Force should:             (i)    include, as determined by the Secretary of Defense in consultation with the Secretaries of the military departments, the uniformed and civilian personnel conducting and directly supporting space operations from all Department of Defense Armed Forces;             (ii)   assume responsibilities for all major military space acquisition programs; and             (iii)  create the appropriate career tracks for military and civilian space personnel across all relevant specialties, including operations, intelligence, engineering, science, acquisition, and cyber.     Sec. 5.  United States Space Force Budget.  In accordance with the Department of Defense budget process, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget a proposed budget for the United States Space Force to be included in the President's Fiscal Year 2020 Budget Request.     Sec. 6.  United States Space Force Organization and Leadership.  (a)  The legislative proposal required by section 3 of this memorandum shall create a civilian Under Secretary of the Air Force for Space, to be known as the Under Secretary for Space, appointed by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.     (b)  The legislative proposal shall establish a Chief of Staff of the Space Force, who will be a senior military officer in the grade of General or Admiral, and who shall serve as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.     Sec. 7.  Associated Elements.  (a)  A Unified Combatant Command for space, to be known as the United States Space Command, will be established consistent with law, as directed on December 18, 2018.  This command will have all of the responsibilities of a Unified Combatant Command in addition to the space-related responsibilities previously assigned to United States Strategic Command.  It will also have the responsibilities of the Joint Force provider and Joint Force training for space operations forces.  Moving expeditiously toward a Unified Combatant Command reflects the importance of warfighting in space to the Joint Force.  The commander of this command will lead space warfighting through global space operations that may occur in the space domain, the terrestrial domains, or through the electromagnetic spectrum.     (b)  With forces provided by the United States Space Force and other United States Armed Forces, the United States Space Command shall ensure unfettered access to, and freedom to operate in, space and provide vital effects and capabilities to joint and coalition forces during peacetime and across the spectrum of conflict.     Sec. 8.  Relationship with National Intelligence.  The Secretary of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence shall create and enhance mechanisms for collaboration between the Department of Defense and the United States Intelligence Community in order to increase unity of effort and the effectiveness of space operations.  The Secretary of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence shall provide a report to the President within 180 days of the date of this memorandum on steps they have taken and are planning to take toward these ends, including legislative proposals as necessary and appropriate.     Sec. 9.  Operational Authorities.  In order to ensure that the United States Space Force and United States Space Command have the necessary operational authorities, the National Space Council and the National Security Council shall coordinate an accelerated review of space operational authorities.  Within 90 days of the date of this memorandum, the Secretary of Defense shall present to the National Space Council and the National Security Council proposed relevant authority changes for the President's approval.  The National Space Council and the National Security Council shall then conduct an interagency review of the Secretary's proposal and make recommendations to the President on appropriate authorities, to be completed no later than 60 days from the date the Secretary of Defense presents his proposal to the councils.     Sec. 10.  Periodic Review.  As the United States Space Force matures, and as national security requires, it will become necessary to create a separate military department, to be known as the Department of the Space Force.  This department will take over some or all responsibilities for the United States Space Force from the Department of the Air Force.  The Secretary of Defense will conduct periodic reviews to determine when to recommend that the President seek legislation to establish such a department.     Sec. 11.  General Provisions.  (a)  Nothing in this memorandum shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:             (i)   the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or             (ii)  the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.     (b)  This memorandum shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and United States national and homeland security requirements, and subject to the availability of appropriations.     (c)  This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.     (d)  The Secretary of Defense is authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.                         DONALD J. TRUMP

West Wing Reads: President Trump Vows ‘New Day’ for Venezuela

President Trump Vows ‘New Day’ for Venezuela “The people of Venezuela are standing for freedom and democracy, and the United States of America is standing right by their side,” President Donald J. Trump said yesterday afternoon at Florida International University in Miami, Jane Timm reports. While expressing strong support for Venezuela's interim president, Juan Guaido, President Trump urged a peaceful transition of power and condemned socialist policies. “To those who want to try to impose socialism on the United States, we again deliver a very simple message: America will never be a socialist country.” Click here to read more. In USA Today, retired educator Dan Ferguson writes that his beloved daughter Mandy, a 28-year-old sixth-grade teacher, was killed last year by someone who got into the United States illegally. “In his declaration of a national emergency on our southern border, President Trump recognized the Americans who experienced the consequences of that emergency firsthand: angel moms and dads. I never expected I would be one of them.” First Lady Melania Trump “debuted a healing garden and intensive care unit for heart patients at the Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami Monday,” Anna Giaritelli reports for the Washington Examiner. “After the unveiling ceremony, [the First Lady] took part in a butterfly release with a young patient and then met with other patients at the hospital.” In The Washington Times, Stephen Moore writes that “President Trump has renegotiated a new North America free trade deal — with some impressive improvements.” With the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) in the hands of Congress, Moore asks an important question: “Does anyone know where all those free trade Democrats went?” Democrats’ lack of support only stands to harm American workers. “I believe that the president is fully within his rights to use a national emergency to protect America amid a humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border,” Boris Epshteyn writes in WJLA. “The overall result will be that the barrier will continue to be built, which is key to ending the illegal immigration, drug trade and human trafficking happening at the border.”

First Lady Melania Trump Unveils New Healing Garden & Name of New Cardiac Intensive Care Floor at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital

Office of the First Lady FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 18, 2019 First Lady Melania Trump Unveils New Healing Garden & Name of New Cardiac Intensive Care Floor at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital   MIAMI, FL – First Lady Melania Trump traveled to Miami this morning to unveil the new “Morton and Linda Bouchard Healing Garden” at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital.  The healing garden will offer a place of comfort and reprieve for patients and their families.  The First Lady also unveiled the new name of the “Esrick Dream Foundation Cardiac Intensive Care Floor” which is also part of Nicklaus Children’s Hospital.   Nicklaus Children’s Hospital is South Florida’s only licensed specialty hospital exclusively for children and is home to the largest pediatric teaching program in the southeastern United States.  One of the fundamental pillars making up the First Lady’s Be Best initiative is the well-being of children.  The addition of the hospital’s new healing garden is a prime example of how to help nurture, support, and strengthen children currently fighting diseases. “It is because of the generous donations of people like Morton and Linda Bouchard, or Steve and Kiki Esrick of the Dream Foundation, that hospitals can offer more care and comfort to children who are already battling to get well,” said First Lady Melania Trump.  “Thank you to all the generous donors for supporting the hospital and thank you to Jack and Barbara Nicklaus for inviting me to be part of this special occasion.  I hope the new garden brings renewed strength to each child that visits.” Following her remarks, Mrs. Trump participated in a butterfly release with Barbara Nicklaus, a young patient and her twin sister. Mrs. Trump visited with a few of the children currently patients on the Cardiac Intensive Care Floor before departing.

REAL NEWS PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS

REAL NEWS PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS

President Trump on 'Solid Legal Ground' to End the Crisis on our Southern Border -New York Daily News “President Trump will have the law on his side when he uses the power of his office to secure the U.S. border with Mexico,” writes former U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Joseph DiGenova. “The current political reality in Washington ensures that the crisis on our southern border will continue to go unresolved unless the executive branch steps in. Fortunately, both the Constitution and the Congress have placed the authority to do so firmly with the President of the United States.” Where Trump Won: Historic ICE Funding, Triple Wall Miles, Killed ‘Poison Pills’ -Washington Examiner Paul Bedard reports that “Congress approved historic funding levels for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border patrol, added miles to the border wall, and increased the cap on criminal illegal immigrants that can be jailed. Insiders who worked on the deal said that compared to going along with a spending continuing resolution, the GOP scored several wins.” Wilbur Ross, Ivanka Trump Introduce Workforce Advisory Board -Bloomberg “The chief executives of Apple Inc., Lockheed Martin Corp. and Walmart Inc., are among 25 prominent Americans who will shape Trump administration efforts to develop job training programs to meet the changing demands of U.S. employers,” Margaret Talev reports. “Ivanka Trump, in a statement, said the board will ‘ensure inclusive growth.’” Boom: Best Economic Optimism in 16 Years, 50% ‘Better Off’ Under Trump -Washington Examiner “Public optimism in their personal economy has hit a 16-year high under President Trump, according to a new survey. Some 69 percent told Gallup that they expect their personal finances to be even better next year,” Paul Bedard reports. “What’s more, the survey company said that 50 percent believe they are ‘better off’ than just a year ago when the current economic surge was kicking in.” Job Openings Hit Record High of 7.3 Million in December -Washington Examiner “The number of job openings hit a record high of 7.3 million in December, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday in a sign of the labor market’s strength,” Joseph Lawler reports. “The construction industry recorded 382,000 new posts, far more than ever before . . . In the past three months, the economy has added an average of 241,000 net new jobs a month.” Trump’s AI Plan Is a Good Start -Bloomberg The Bloomberg editorial board writes that President Trump is launching a smart artificial intelligence plan “to ensure the U.S. keeps up in an increasingly crucial industry. By any measure, AI holds immense promise. It’s likely to boost productivity, stimulate demand, encourage innovation, vastly improve consumer products, eliminate waste, and much more.” Trump's Free Market Approach to Drug Pricing Will Help Lower Costs -The Hill “I agree with the Trump administration’s free market approach” to healthcare, Dr. Marc Siegel writes. “My patients want to know what their medicines cost, even if their insurance ends up covering it. In fact it is ‘price opacity’ that has enabled health costs to soar, while patients are blinded . . . The Trump administration and HHS should be applauded for their efforts to extend and expand price transparency.” High Speed Broadband Is Fostering a New Era of Innovation for Rural America -Agri-Pulse “From the first days of his Administration, President Trump has made it a priority to invest in our Nation’s infrastructure and bring prosperity to rural America once again,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Chris Liddell and White House Deputy Chief Technology Officer Michael Kratsios write. “Agencies are removing regulatory red tape and identifying opportunities for coordination, making it easier for the private sector to invest and build safe and reliable broadband networks to the areas that need access most.”
