Mattis expected to back allowing transgender troops to stay in the military

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is expected to propose to President Trump that transgender members of the U.S. military be allowed to continue serving despite the president’s call last summer for a ban on all transgender service members, according to two U.S. officials with knowledge of the issue.

The defense secretary was scheduled to brief the president Wednesday, but the meeting was postponed and will occur soon, officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss policy deliberations. Dana White, a spokeswoman for Mattis, said the secretary will provide his recommendation to Trump this week and the president will make an announcement at some point afterward.

Not that this isn't deserved, but what about the Russian sanctions???

Oh and this:

• Yevgeny Prigozhin, a Russian oligarch charged last week by the special counsel Robert Mueller's office with playing a role in information warfare against the US, told Kremlin and Syrian officials that Russian mercenaries were going to attack US forces in Syria, The Washington Post reported.

Trump used the nearly 1 1/2-hour speech to tout Republicans' recently enacted tax law, make jokes about his hair, attack political rivals including Hillary Clinton and John McCain, advocate a program to arm teachers, praise the military, and much more.

A 1 1/2 hour long speech by King Dotard??
