FIVE STORIES PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN’T WANT YOU TO MISS
Assault on Open Speech is an Attack on America –Washington Examiner “There are two sides in the defining fight ripping America apart, and they aren’t Republicans and Democrats. The fight is between those who believe that open speech is essential to preserving the nation and those who believe in narrowing the debate and favor cultural erasure,” the Washington Examiner editorial board writes.
On Daca, Obama Can but Trump Can’t –The Wall Street Journal “The practical consequence of the [Supreme Court’s DACA] ruling is that a President can create an unlawful policy without legislation from Congress, but a future President cannot lawfully undo it without first jumping through regulatory hoops that can take years,” The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes.
Trump Signs Police Reform Executive Order in Rose Garden Ceremony -Fox News “The National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the largest law enforcement union in the U.S., praised Trump’s [executive order on policing],” Tyler Olsen reports. “‘It strikes a great balance between the vital need for public and officer safety, and the equally vital need for lasting, meaningful, and enforceable police reform,’ the organization said.” MORE:SAFE policing for SAFE communities!
Lockdowns Hit Minority Businesses –TheWall Street Journal Endless lockdowns hurt small businesses—and they may hit minority-owned businesses the hardest. “From February to April, the number of active black business owners fell 41%,” The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes. Local leaders “should bear in mind who’d be harmed most by the ensuing economic destruction” of more lockdowns. 」(以上)
Americans are ready to get back to work. Today, fewer than 6 percent of Americans tested each week are found to have the Coronavirus. Daily average case rates continue to fall, and all 50 states have begun reopening in a safe and responsible manner. Small businesses are leading this comeback. During the height of the pandemic, more than 80 percent of them were forced to close temporarily as Americans helped slow the spread of COVID-19. To help these companies recover and avoid bankruptcy, state leaders must continue to follow President Trump’s Guidelines for Opening Up America Again. Endless lockdowns are not an option. President Trump hosted a group of these small business leaders for a roundtable at the White House today. Joining him were Gov. Pete Ricketts of Nebraska and Gov. Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma. “America is better supplied and more prepared to reenter than, I would say, just about any other place,” the President said. 🎬 President Trump: We’ve saved 50 million American jobs The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), signed into law by President Trump in March and replenished in April, has sustained millions of small businesses and protected their employees during the pandemic. The President approved more than $670 billion for the PPP, along with $60 billion for the SBA’s Disaster Loan Program. Vice President Mike Pence, head of the White House’s Coronavirus Task Force, traveled to Iowa earlier this week and visited Michigan today, where he toured two manufacturing companies. In May, the American manufacturing sector created 225,000 new jobs—part of the record-breaking 2.5 million jobs added last month. “During one of the most challenging times in our Nation,” the Vice President tweeted, “it was the people who make things & the people who grow things who stepped up.” PHOTOS: VP Pence visits Winnebago Industries in Iowa As our economy comes back, it’s vital that we continue to work together, get people back to work, and protect our most vulnerable citizens. Regrettably, too many politicians and pundits care more about exploiting fear than about reopening our country. After weeks of condoning mass protests and turning a blind eye to violent rioters, many Democrats are once again calling for stricter lockdowns on law-abiding residents. Enough is enough. Working Americans stepped up when the Coronavirus struck, staying home and often losing their jobs to help slow the spread of disease. They aren’t asking for much now—only a chance to get back to work and provide for their families. President Trump hears them. It’s time to safely reopen America for business. 🎬 President Trump: The economic revival is beginning!
President Trump unveils roadmap to stop veteran suicide
More than 6,000 veterans die by suicide each year, taking their own lives at a rate one-and-a-half times that of other Americans. Female veterans are at an even higher risk, with a suicide rate of more than twice that of other Americans. From 2005 to 2016, the veteran suicide rate rose by an alarming 26 percent. In the past, these heroes were too often overlooked by our leaders, who sent our troops to fight in foreign lands without taking care of them once they returned home. 🎬 WATCH: Wounded Warrior Chad Hiser’s incredible story Under President Trump, our veterans have been championed since day one. In 2018, he signed the largest funding bill for the Department of Veterans Affairs in history, securing $86.5 billion. He also restored much-needed accountability and discipline to the VA system. “We’ve removed more than 9,000 VA workers who were not giving our veterans the care, respect, attention that they’ve earned,” President Trump said. Today, the VA took another major step forward, unveiling the President’s Roadmap to Empower Veterans and End a National Tragedy of Suicide, also known as “PREVENTS.” The 10-point roadmap includes a major public health campaign on veteran suicide prevention. 🎬 Second Lady Karen Pence: Time to end the “stigma of mental health” Theroadmap will implement changes in how veteran suicide is researched as well, allowing providers to better understand the unique risk profile of every patient. The roadmap will also pursue partnerships that strengthen community-based, nonprofit, and faith-based interventions. Veteran suicide is a national tragedy, and improving the quality of care for our nation’s heroes is one of President Trump’s top priorities. After years of scandal and neglect from past administrations, this President has reorganized the VA around the principle that our veterans deserve the best treatment available on Earth.

Secretary Perdue and Ivanka Trump help deliver food boxes
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, Ivanka Trump, and other Administration officials met with minority faith leaders in Pittsburgh yesterday, where they held a listening session before participating in a food box distribution for families in need. “I was grateful to listen and learn from faith & community leaders how together we can bring about healing and holistic revitalization to underserved communities across the nation,” Ms. Trump tweeted. The Farmers to Families Food Box program has delivered nearly 20 million boxes to date. All told, as part of the Administration’s ongoing Coronavirus relief efforts, the program will purchase $461 million in fresh fruits and vegetables, $317 million in dairy products, $258 million in meats, and $175 million in combination boxes to support both American farmers and underserved families.

Moments after he met with families who have lost loved ones to violence—many involving deadly interactions with the police—President Trump took historic action today to deliver safety and security for Americans of every race and background. “We are onenation—we grieve together, and we heal together,” he said. Today’s executive order pursues common-sense reforms to public safety while rejecting fringe, anti-police demands. “I strongly oppose the radical and dangerous effort to defund, dismantle, and dissolve our police departments–especially now when we’ve achieved the lowest recorded crime rates in recent history,” the President said. 🎬 President Trump: Restoring, renewing, and rebuilding our communities “Many of the same politicians now presenting themselves as the solution are the same ones who have failed for decades on schools, jobs, justice, and crime. They’re all often, unfortunately, the same politicians running the cities and states where help is most needed.” Americans both support the brave men and women in blue and believe we must improve accountability, increase transparency, and invest more in law enforcement training. President Trump’s actions today recognize and build on these goals:
Certification: The Justice Department will now allocate certain funding only to law enforcement agencies that meet high standards for use-of-force and de-escalation, as credentialed by reputable independent bodies. As part of this new credentialing, chokeholds will be banned except if an officer’s life is at risk.
Information sharing: The Attorney General will create a database for federal, state, and local law enforcement to track terminations, criminal convictions, and civil judgments against law enforcement officers for excessive use-of-force.
Mental health: To protect both officers and our most vulnerable populations, the Administration will prioritize training for police and social workers who respond to incidents involving the mentally ill, addicted, and homeless.
Legislative action: The Administration will develop and propose new legislation to Congress to build on these policies and boost community engagement.
Reducing crime and raising police standards are not opposing goals, President Trump said. Today’s executive order protects decent, law-abiding officers while holding those who abuse their badge accountable for their actions. 🎬 President Trump: We will reduce crime AND raise standards! Safer communities mean safer work for our law enforcement officers, too. Last year alone, 89 officers were killed in the line of duty. In recent days, two members of law enforcement were killed amid riots and looting. Hundreds more were injured. “The vast majority of police officers are selfless and courageous public servants,” President Trump said. “When others run away from danger, police run straight into harm’s way, often putting their lives at stake to protect someone who they don’t know or never even met.” Violent crime in America is falling under President Trump, and we have brave law enforcement officers to thank for it. In 2018, police arrested nearly 12,000 people for murder and manslaughter, about 25,000 for rape, and nearly 1.5 million for assault. In many cases, local law enforcement is underfunded, understaffed, and under-supported. The last thing our country needs to do is to make the jobs of good, decent police officers more difficult. The far-left’s radical agenda proposes doing just that. President Trump’s executive order today brings law enforcement and their communities closer together. Calls to defund policing will only drive them further apart.

WATCH:President Trump delivers West Point commencement address
President Trump delivered a commencement address on Saturday to 1,107 new officers graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point. With many families and friends unable to attend the ceremony because of social distancing guidelines, President Trump took time to recognize and celebrate the incredible accomplishments of these young men and women. “Few words in the English language and few places in history have commanded as much awe and admiration as West Point,” he said, calling the Academy “a universal symbol of American gallantry, loyalty, devotion, discipline, and great skill.” Here are a few excerpts from what he told the Class of 2020 cadets:
“Every graduate on this field could have gone to virtually any top-ranked university that you wanted. You chose to devote your life to the defense of America.”
“You have come from the farms and the cities, from states big and small, and from every race, religion, color, and creed. But when you entered these grounds, you became part of one team, one family, proudly serving one great American nation.”
“The survival of America and the endurance of civilization itself depends on the men and women just like each of you. It depends on people who love their country with all their heart and energy and soul.”
“When it comes to bragging rights, no one can boast louder than the class that brought Navy’s 14-year football winning streak to a screeching halt. You did that. I happened to be there.”
The Class of 2020 cadets begin their careers at a crucial moment in U.S. history. President Trump believes the sacred duty of America’s military is to defend our country from foreign enemies, not to rebuild foreign nations. “We are not the policemen of the world,” he told the graduating class. 🎬 President Trump: We are ending the era of endless wars
In photos: Vice President Pence meets with faith leaders
Vice President Mike Pence joined a roundtable discussion at Covenant Church of Pittsburgh on Friday, where faith and community leaders shared ways to protect equality and opportunity for every American. “We are going to continue to have conversations with community leaders across the Country and listen to their insights on how we can encourage healing in our Nation,” the Vice President wrote on Twitter. “We will work every day for the safety and prosperity of every American.” 🎬 Vice President Pence on school choice President Trump visited Dallas last week, where he outlined steps to address racial inequality in healthcare, resources and funding for small businesses, and education. “The truth is the African-American community has been years ahead of the broader population in understanding the justice behind allowing parents to choose where their children go to school, whether it’s public, private, parochial, or religious school,” Vice President Pence said.

“It’s quite clear that City of Seattle elected officials are lacking the political will to enforce the rule of law. And this is the closest I’ve seen since being a 20-year professional in public safety service of our country becoming a lawless state,” Seattle Police Officers Guild President Mike Solan warns. Read more from Sam Dorman in Fox News.
“Whether ‘Defund the Police’ actually means dismantling police departments, as it appears to in Minneapolis, or is an attempt to gaslight conservatives while neutering law enforcement, one thing is certain: The party yelling to ‘defund the police’ is the same one that desperately wants to disarm the citizenry,” Kylee Zempel writes forThe Federalist. 」(以上)
デモが暴動となったとき、当時、大統領選挙戦中だったニクソンは「法と秩序」の回復をスローガンに最初の当選を果たしている。トランプも「法と秩序」を呼びかけ、ツイッターに「サイレント・マジョリティ」と書き込んだ。6月12日の夜に南部ジョージア州アトランタで、黒人男性が警官に銃で撃たれて死亡し、現地デモの一部が暴徒化したあとにも、「法と秩序(LOW & ORDER !)」「MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN !」とだけ書き込んでいる。
私はこうした内部の路線対立が、朝令暮改のような形で庶民生活を巻き込むこと自体、そうとう末期症状だと思っている。こうなってくると、世論がさらに党内対立に反映されることになり、大衆動員式の権力闘争に発展しかねない。文革も天安門事件も、実はその根底に「毛沢東 VS. 劉少奇、林彪」「鄧小平 VS. 胡耀邦、趙紫陽」の権力闘争があり、それに大衆が巻き込まれた面もある。
Lawless in Seattle: City Lets Anarchists Seize Downtown Blocks —New York Post “Even for 2020, events in Seattle are bizarre: Armed radicals have taken over six blocks downtown, with the de facto blessing of city officials,” the New York Post editorial board writes. “This has nothing to do with any legitimate protest”—it’s a violent gang power grab, encouraged by the mayor’s appalling weakness.
Cancel Cancel Culture —National Review “We would prefer that people be treated with grace rather than opportunistic cruelty and with charity rather than pettiness,” the National Review editorial board writes. “We worry about the consequences of cancel culture. But we are much more intensely ashamed of it and what it says about the current state of the American heart.”
‘Going Out of Business’ in Minneapolis —Townhall “Minneapolis was a beautiful city with a promising future and unlimited potential.

Notice I say was,” Tom Tradup writes. “Because over the past two weeks Minneapolis has pretty much hung out the ‘Going Out Of Business’ sign on the outskirts of town.” MORE:Factory damaged in riots will leave Minneapolis, owner says 」(以上)
President Trump unveils vision to rebuild our cities
President Trump spoke to community and faith leaders at Gateway Church in Dallas today, where he presented his vision for advancing the causes of justice and freedom. Americans are outraged by the horrific killing of George Floyd. The President has directed Attorney General Bill Barr to expedite a federal investigation into the incident. Together, we must ensure that such injustices never happen again in our country. Unfortunately, extremists want to exploit this tragedy to push a radical agenda that will only lead to more crime, poverty, and suffering. We can’t let that happen, either. 🎬 President Trump: Sadly, some want only to stoke political division There is no freedom or opportunity without safety. In Chicago, 48 people were shot and 18 were killed on Sunday, May 31—the most violent day in Chicago in 60 years. Eighteen people. One day. That’s shocking, heartbreaking, and unacceptable. No American child should ever grow up in a community that can’t protect them. Fear and violence should never be part of the daily routine for any American family. Under President Trump, our cities have made progress. Violent crime and murder rates have fallen. Unfair sentencing rules from the 1994 Clinton crime law were reversed. The United States achieved its lowest black unemployment rate in history. 🎬 President Trump: I will never stop fighting for forgotten Americans Real progress—racial justice, economic growth, religious freedom, and more—means building on these successes, not tearing them down. Today in Dallas, President Trump unveiled his plan for revitalizing America’s cities and distressed communities. It stands in stark contrast to a far-left vision of no policing, no investment, and no opportunity:
Policing. The President announced that he is finalizing an Executive Order to encourage police departments nationwide to meet the highest standards in the use of force by police officers, including tactics for de-escalation.
Access to capital. In addition to Opportunity Zone tax cuts for underserved communities, the Administration is working to set aside billions in federal loan dollars to assist African-American business owners directly.
Healthcare. President Trump wants to fix disparities in healthcare outcomes for minority communities. That means improving access to high-quality telemedicine, increasing the use of mobile care and testing, reforming public health data practices, and addressing chronic conditions for at-risk populations.
Education choice. A child’s zip code should not limit his or her future. President Trump is calling on Congress to enact school choice immediately, finally giving African-American children real access to high-quality education.
Government works best not when it dictates from above, but when it liberates from below. President Trump’s agenda will lift the forgotten men and women of our country by making every single American community a safe, prosperous place to call home. 🎬 Secretary Ben Carson: We the people are not each other’s enemies 」(以上)
