Resolute Reads FIVE STORIES PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS

FIVE STORIES PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS Schiff’s Impeachment Hearings Wasting Time When Congress Must Do Real Work -New York Post “Rep. Adam Schiff’s House Intelligence Committee has now heard all its announced public hearing impeachment witnesses, yet all those hours of televised testimony plainly failed on their announced goal: to change Americans’ minds,” the New York Post editorial board writes. Now, with all that time wasted, “Speaker Nancy Pelosi just said she doubts Congress has the time to pass the [USMCA] trade deal this year.”  Here’s a rundown of what Schiff’s “fact” witnesses had to say. How Republicans Won Phase One of Impeachment -The Federalist “The first phase of impeachment did not go well for Democrats. It needed to be a time when support for the inquiry and impeachment grew. Instead, it shrank,” Mollie Hemingway writes. “To begin with, not only was the vote to begin proceedings not bipartisan, there was bipartisan opposition to it.” Moreover, “Emerson polling showed that support for impeachment flipped since October,” with more Americans now opposed. Same Swamp: Ratings fall flat as most Americans tune out impeachment spectacle Why Dems Are So Worried After Latest Round of Impeachment Hearings -New York Post “The clock is ticking on Democrats’ chance to make their case. Pelosi is clearly worried, telling fellow Dems it’s a ‘weak response’ to ‘let the election decide’ whether President Trump should be removed,” Michael Goodwin writes. Her letter seemed strange when it became public Monday, but this week’s hearings have “more than justified her fear and desperation.” Apple CEO Tim Cook and President Trump Toured a Texas Computer Factory to Tout US Manufacturing -CNBC President Trump has made fixing American trade deals a priority since day one, and a recent visit to a Texas factory offered the perfect opportunity to show Americans the results of those efforts. “I would always talk about Apple, that I want to see Apple building plants in the United States, and that’s what’s happening,” the President said.   Watch President Trump tour an Apple factory in Texas! Confidence in Trump Economy at Record High, With No Hit From Impeachment -Washington Examiner “Another poll finds that public support for President Trump has not waned in the face of House impeachment hearings, and the approval for his handling of the economy has hit a new record high,” Paul Bedard reports. A new Gallup survey shows that 57 percent approve of the Trump Economy—the best number so far. “It comes as the stock market is hitting new highs, and unemployment is at a low for several groups.”

Presidential Proclamation on National Family Week, 2019

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 22, 2019 NATIONAL FAMILY WEEK, 2019 - - - - - - - BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION        The strength of our Republic is not measured only by our military might and robust economy but also by the strength of our family bonds.  Families shape our values, develop our character, and teach us to love, forgive, and become productive citizens and responsible members of society.  During National Family Week, we pause to reflect on the importance of the family -- the bedrock of our Nation.      Since I took office, my Administration has empowered families.  We are currently in the midst of the longest economic recovery in our Nation's history, which is improving quality of life and stability for families of all types.  Thanks to our economic policies, which include eliminating unnecessary and burdensome regulations and the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we have seen the unemployment rate drop to a half‑century low, real median household income reach a record high, and the poverty rate fall to its lowest level since 2001.  We have fought for families by securing a doubling of the Child Tax Credit, preserving the Child and Dependent Care Credit, signing into law the largest ever increase in child care and development block grants -- a major new investment in child care affordability -- and developing a tax credit for employers who offer paid family and medical leave.  We continue to call on the Congress to pass a nationwide paid family leave program.      Last year, I signed into law the Family First Prevention Services Act, which reimagines and reorients our Nation's child welfare system toward keeping at-risk families intact in their own homes and communities and minimizing the need for foster care.  This legislation provides funding for mental health therapy, family counseling, addiction treatment, and parenting classes.  Additionally, we are working to expand adoption providers so that children of all ages in the foster care system can experience what every child deserves -- a loving family in a forever home.      For some of our Nation's families, the incarceration of a loved one is a tremendous challenge.  My Administration is proud that the reunification and strengthening of families is one of the many benefits of our criminal justice reform efforts.  Since maintaining family and community ties is key to the successful reentry of prisoners into society, the bipartisan First Step Act, which I signed into law in 2018, includes provisions that allow inmates to be placed closer to their home communities, which facilitates family visitation.  Further, it includes reasonable sentencing reforms that make our criminal justice system fairer by reducing excessive penalties for certain drug offenders, which allows families to reunify more quickly.      This week, we vow always to cherish, honor, protect, and respect the incredible gift of family and renew our commitment to strengthening and celebrating all of our Nation's families.  A stable, loving family is one of life's greatest blessings.  It provides support, comfort, guidance, acceptance, and joy.      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 November 24 through November 30, 2019, as National Family Week.  I invite communities, churches, and individuals to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities to honor our Nation's families.      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand nineteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fourth.                              DONALD J. TRUMP

Statement from the Press Secretary: Ambassador Sondland Completely Exonerates President Trump of Any Wrongdoing

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 20, 2019 Statement from the Press Secretary: Ambassador Sondland Completely Exonerates President Trump of Any Wrongdoing President Donald J. Trump said, “I want nothing. I want no Quid Pro Quo.  I want Zelensky to do the right thing.”  Ambassador Gordon Sondland testified to this in his deposition and repeatedly affirmed it today.  That should be the only takeaway from today’s sham hearing, and it was stated under oath by the only person in these hearings who has ever spoken directly to President Trump.  Though much of today’s testimony by Ambassador Sondland was related to his presumptions and beliefs, rather than hard facts, he testified to the fact that President Trump never told him that a White House meeting or the aid to Ukraine was tied to receiving a public statement from President Zelensky. Over the course of the Democrats’ desperate impeachment inquiry, we have heard a great deal of hearsay, conjecture, and outright speculation about whether the President withheld military aid to the Ukraine based on a quid pro quo.  The Democrats certainly tried - and have again failed - to make their case by using unreliable and indirect evidence.  This country deserves better. The direct evidence heard at these hearings makes clear that the Democrats’ allegations are baseless and a pathetic attempt overthrow the 2016 election.  In his July 25 call with President Zelensky, President Trump did not condition any part of the United States-Ukraine relationship on a quid pro quo.  President Trump himself released the transcript of that phone call months ago in order to end the wild speculation.  In addition, President Zelensky has repeatedly stated that President Trump did not pressure him in any manner. The facts will clearly not change the Democrats’ attempts to harass this President and spread dangerous conspiracy theories throughout the halls of Congress and all over this country.  Nor will the Democrats do anything to benefit the American people by passing the USMCA, reducing drug prices, creating jobs and securing the border.  In the meantime, President Trump will continue to focus on those priorities.  It is sad that Speaker Pelosi, Rep. Schiff, and the rest of the House Democrats continue to focus on their impeachment farce instead of working on behalf of the American people – the people they purport to represent.

West It’s Democracy — Not Trump — That’s on Trial on Capitol HillWing Reads -

It’s Democracy — Not Trump — That’s on Trial on Capitol Hill “Public impeachment hearings have begun in Washington, but nothing has changed. The Ukraine ‘rebound’ scandal simply follows from the Russia collusion probe as the latest front in a smoothly operating, taxpayer-funded, propaganda war of political intimidation: an attempt not only to undermine President Trump, but also to demoralize and break the will of those who voted for him,” Augustus Howard writes in the New York Post. “Democrats, trying to ‘move on’ from the disastrous testimony of Robert Mueller, offer us a new cadre of government-insider witnesses, most of whose evidence would be laughed out of any courtroom in America.” House Democrats’ real goal is to tell President Trump’s supporters that “those who dared challenge the permanent, elite government class — to know they can never win.” Click here to read more. “Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff isn’t a constitutional scholar, but he plays one on Impeachment TV. His latest gambit is an attempt to redefine ‘bribery’ in the Constitution to include President Trump’s behavior toward Ukraine.” Of course, “he’s wrong about the law and constitutional history,” The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes. The Trump Administration took two huge steps toward improving American healthcare on Friday. “Just about every person in the U.S. has had an experience of confusion, frustration, anger, and sometimes severe financial distress due to the bureaucracy and sheer obscurity of healthcare pricing . . . With these two rules, the Trump administration is trying to provide the price signals and other information necessary for patients to be informed,” Quin Hillyer reports in the Washington Examiner. “Ivanka Trump and USAID Administrator Mark Green will announce on Monday an additional $50 million for the W-GDP Incentive Fund, which aims to help 50 million women in developing countries by 2025,” Evie Fordham reports for Fox Business.

Presidential Message on Antibiotic Awareness Week, 2019

Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 18, 2019 Presidential Message on Antibiotic Awareness Week, 2019   Antibiotics are a medical marvel that has saved millions of lives around the world, but they must be properly and safely prescribed for humans and animals to ensure that they remain effective in treating diseases and illnesses.  During Antibiotic Awareness Week and every week, I urge families and medical professionals to familiarize themselves with the consequences of antibiotic resistance and the steps we can all take to address this challenge. Antibiotics are remarkable drugs that are instrumental in fighting certain infections caused by bacteria and fungi.  Far too often, however, they are prescribed for common viral illnesses that they are not meant to treat, including the common cold, influenza, most cases of bronchitis, and stomach viruses.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about 30 percent of outpatient antibiotics, or 47 million prescriptions, are unnecessarily prescribed in human medicine each year.  Overprescribing antibiotics can have harmful side effects and cause life-threatening allergic reactions.  In the United States, an adverse reaction to antibiotics leads to approximately one out of every six medication-related visits for emergency medical care. One of the most troubling consequences of overprescribing antibiotics is antibiotic resistance.  Last week, the CDC released new numbers on the burden of antibiotic resistance threats in the United States showing that at least 2.8 million people become infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria or fungi every year, and that more than 35,000 people die because of those infections. As the world’s leader in medical ingenuity and advancements, we must do everything we can to combat the rapidly developing medical threat of antibiotic resistance.  The CDC’s Be Antibiotics Aware initiative provides valuable and potentially life-saving resources to help educate both the public and healthcare professionals on when antibiotics are needed, how to optimize their prescription, and how to best combat antibiotic resistance.  This program, combined with my Administration’s continued implementation of the National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria, is essential to addressing the rising concerns about the overprescription of antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This week, we resolve to improve antibiotic stewardship at home and in medical settings so that all Americans can understand the threat of antibiotic resistance and live fuller, healthier lives.   ### The White House · 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW · Washington, DC 20500-0003 · USA · 202-456-1111

Statement from the Press Secretary Regarding Protests in Iran

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 17, 2019

Statement from the Press Secretary Regarding Protests in Iran The United States supports the Iranian people in their peaceful protests against the regime that is supposed to lead them.  We condemn the lethal force and severe communications restrictions used against demonstrators.  Tehran has fanatically pursued nuclear weapons and missile programs, and supported terrorism, turning a proud nation into another cautionary tale of what happens when a ruling class abandons its people and embarks on a crusade for personal power and riches.
