'Upset' About Chicago Violence, Trump Wants To Meet With Rahm: Spicer


CHICAGO — The day after President Donald Trump caused a stir in Chicago by decrying the city's violence on Twitter and vowing to send in "the Feds," his administration struck a more conciliatory tone.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said there is no concrete plan at the moment on how the federal government would curb Chicago's violence, but Trump is tired of seeing people "shot down" on the street.
"What the president is upset about is turning on the television and seeing Americans get killed by shootings... seeing people walking down the street and being shot down," Spicer said. "What he wants to do is provide the resources of the federal government. It can span a bunch of things, it can be aid, if it's requested through the governor, through the proper channels.  ... that will ensure people of Chicago have the resources to feel safe." 
At the same news conference, however, Spicer said Trump will take federal grant money away from "sanctuary cities" — which include Chicago — if they aren't actively trying to deport undocumented immigrants. 
"We'll get a dialogue started with Mayor Emanuel and try to figure out what a path forward will be," Spicer said on the issue of violence. 
City leaders responded angrily Wednesday to Trump's late night tweet, and many residents assumed he meant sending in the military: 


Donald J. Trump  ✔@realDonaldTrump
If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible "carnage" going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!

PaySpree: An Affiliate Network That Pays Instant Commission On Every Product

If you sell digital products online you are no doubt aware of the two most popular affiliate networks, ClickBank and PayDotCom. While both of these are great and I highly recommend each of them, today I came across a brand new service that really caught my attention. It's called PaySpree and the reason it caught my attention is that ALL its members get paid for their sales instantly. And they can choose whether to be paid by PayPal, AlertPay or Credit Card. Even affiliates get paid for their referred sales instantly. I expect it to become quite a hit as the lure of 'instant commissions'  played a big part in the massive success of products such as 7DollarSecrets and the RapidActionProfits scripts.

And I've seen many threads in the various internet marketing forums asking about ...

Papadopoulos served as a foreign policy adviser to the 2016 Trump campaign. However, after news broke that he was cooperating with spe...
