At Last! Protection Against EMP!

From Dick Morris.com (April 1):

For years now, we have been warned that rogue states — particularly North Korea — could turn our country into a living hell by exploding a nuclear bomb in the atmosphere over America. The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from such a blast would fry our electrical circuits and transistors and put much of our grid out of operation. A Caracas-style blackout would descend on our nation and last, potentially, for weeks or even months.

……………..

Despite the scientific consensus that this catastrophe is quite possible, our government has done little or nothing to protect us. Until now. President Donald Trump has acted. Finally.

After years of pressure from Republican Senators Ted Cruz (TX) and Ron Johnson (WI) and Democrats like Senator Edward Markey (MA) and former Senator Jim Webb (Virginia), Trump issued an executive order to protect us against EMP.

The order centralizes anti-EMP planning in the White House, taking it away from the Departments of Energy and Homeland Security which have underestimated the importance of anti-EMP measures.

Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, former chief of staff of the Congressional EMP Commission, explains that the order “states that the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (APNSA), working with the National Security Council and the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, ‘shall coordinate the development and implementation of executive branch actions to assess, prioritize, and manage the risks of EMPs.'” [read more]

This executive order should be law like a lot of President Trump’s executive orders. It seems to me that Trump is the only one in power looking after America. Congress sure isn’t especially the Dems. Although, when the Republicans were in power they sat on their butts. They should get on board the Trump train.
