MESSAGE SENT – AT 6:38 A.M. ET:  President Trump increasingly demonstrates an ability to use power effectively.  He has already forced North Korea to have talks with South Korea by applying steady, clear pressure.  From Fox: 

The U.S. Air Force announced it has deployed three nuclear-capable B-2 stealth bombers and 200 air personnel to Guam -- sending a strong signal to North Korea just a few days after its talks with South Korea. 

The B-2s join a number of B-1 conventional bombers already deployed on the Pacific island. 

It is unclear how long the B-2s will stay at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. 

The Air Force last sent a lone B-2 bomber to Guam in October, but only for a few hours as part of a long-range training mission from its home base in Missouri.  

The last time the U.S. sent three of the stealth bombers to Guam was in 2016.

That was during the last year of the Obama administration.  Trouble is, Obama allowed the Norks to walk all over him, with no serious consequences for their actions.

At his news conference with the Norwegian prime minister yesterday, the president reported that our military strength is building again, month by month.  He made a special point of saying how powerful we are.  To some, that is warmongering.  To wiser heads, that is the building of peace through strength., the very strategy that allowed Ronald Reagan to conclude the Cold War on our terms.
