'Our
enemies will take note: Gina is tough'
Gina Haspel was
sworn in as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
yesterday. A three-decade veteran of the Agency with
seven field tours under her belt, Director Haspel was confirmed
by a bipartisan vote of the Senate last week. Vice President
Mike Pence administered the Oath of Office.
"Our
enemies will take note: Gina is tough," President
Trump said yesterday. "Gina played a crucial role in our
fight against al Qaeda. Her first day in the job at the CIA's
Counterterrorism Center was September 11th, 2001. And she
tirelessly hunted terrorists for the next three years."
"You have
placed enormous trust in CIA throughout your presidency,"
Director Haspel told President Trump. "And the men and
women of CIA do not take that for granted." She added that
"we must learn from the past, but we cannot dwell in the
past. We must constantly learn, adjust, improve, and strive to
be better."

the day: NASCAR at the White House
2017 NASCAR Cup
Series Champion Martin Truex Jr. joined President
Trump at the White House yesterday. "The entire NASCAR
field spent 2017 chasing 78," the President told Truex.
"Congratulations again to these great, great champions,
and to all of NASCAR on yet another incredible season."
Truex presented President Trump with a special gift: an exact
replica of his helmet.

A sham vote
in Venezuela
"Venezuela's
election was a sham-neither free nor fair," Vice
President Pence said in a statement yesterday. "The
illegitimate result of this fake process is a further blow to
the proud democratic tradition of Venezuela. Every day,
thousands of Venezuelans flee brutal oppression and grinding
poverty—literally voting with their feet."
The Trump
Administration responded by upping its pressure on the Maduro
regime. An Executive Order signed yesterday by
President Trump prevents Americans from purchasing Venezuelan
debt, preventing corrupt officials in Caracas from enriching
themselves at the expense of Venezuela's long-suffering people.
President Trump's goal is the restoration of true democracy.
