President Trump has settled on Ajit Pai, a son of immigrants from India, as his choice for chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.

The move was widely expected and certain to be welcomed by Republican lawmakers.

Look for Pai to hit the ground running as soon as the pick is made official.

TAIPEI (Reuters) - Foxconn, the world's largest contract electronics maker, is considering setting up a display-making plant in the United States in an investment that would exceed $7 billion, company chairman and chief executive Terry Gou said.

The plans come after U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to put "America First" in his inauguration speech on Friday.

great to have a president who actually cares about this country instead of trying to harm it like the last guy.

Agree with taxing goods coming from companies that move overseas in the future, but what about now?

U.S. Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio will support the nomination of former Exxon C.E.O. Rex Tillerson for secretary of state, according to a statement.

New WH web page... from "police acted stupidly" to:

One of the fundamental rights of every American is to live in a safe community. A Trump Administration will empower our law enforcement officers to do their jobs and keep our streets free of crime and violence. The Trump Administration will be a law and order administration. President Trump will honor our men and women in uniform and will support their mission of protecting the public. The dangerous anti-police atmosphere in America is wrong. The Trump Administration will end it.

The Trump administration’s transition team for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning major budget cuts, as well as regulatory and scientific overhauls at the agency.

Anyone laboring under the impression that the new Trump administration will be all bark and no bite when it comes to overturning long-established bipartisan policies should watch Team Trump’s assault on the Environmental Protection Agency closely.

Day 1

Secretary of Defense James Mattis first full day at the Pentagon presiding over 31 strikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

A variety of fighters, bombers and remotely piloted aircraft engaged in the bombing run, which saw 25 strikes in Syria and six in Iraq. In Syria, two strikes destroyed ISIS units and artillery near the town of Bab. ISIS forces in Raqqa, the terrorist group’s de facto capital, took a heavy beating, as 22 strikes destroyed 12 tactical units, nine fighting positions, two underground improvised explosive bomb factories and an ISIS headquarters. The final strike targeted two ISIS oil wells in Deir ez Zour.

Yeah, ISIS in Syria and Iraq is pretty much decimated. Mattis will help finish em off, no problem. Good to see he's continuing current policy. Like I said, I like Mattis, and feel he may be able to keep Trump in line.

The strikes are part of the ongoing Operation Inherent Resolve.
