    resolute: December 20, 2018
 Dear Mr. President:
 I have been privileged to serve as our country's 26th Secretary of Defense which has
 allowed me to serve alongside our men and women of the Department in defense of our citizens
 and our ideals
 I am proud of the progress that has been made over the past two years on some of the
 key goals articulated in our National Defense Strategy: putting the Department on a more sound
 budgetary footing, improving readiness and lethality in our forces, and reforming the
 Department's business practices for greater performance. Our troops continue to provide the
 capabilities needed to prevail in conflict and sustain strong U.S. global influence
 One core belief I have always held is that our strength as a nation is inextricably linked
 to the strength of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships. While
 the US remains the indispensable nation in the free world, we cannot protect our interests or
 serve that role effectively without maintaining strong alliances and showing respect to thos
 allies. Like you, I have said from the beginning that the armed forces of the United States
 should not be the policeman of the world. Instead, we must use all tools of American power to
 provide for the common defense, including providing effective leadership to our alliances
 NATO's 29 democracies demonstrated that strength in their commitment to fighting alongsid
 us following the 9-11 attack on America. The Defeat-ISIS coalition of 74 nations is further
 proof.
 Similarly, I believe we must be resolute and unambiguous in our approach to those
 countries whose strategic interests are increasingly in tension with ours. It is clear that China
 and Russia, for example, want to shape a world consistent with their authoritarian model
 gaining veto authority over other nations' economic, diplomatic, and security decisions -to
 promote their own interests at the expense of their neighbors, America and our allies. That is
 why we must use all the tools of American power to provide for the common defense
 My views on treating allies with respect and also being clear-eyed about both malign
 actors and strategic competitors are strongly held and informed by over four decades o
 immersion in these issues. We must do everything possible to advance an international order
 that is most conducive to our security, prosperity and values, and we are strengthened in this
 effort by the solidarity of our alliances
 Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better
 aligned with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down from my
 position. The end date for my tenure is February 28, 2019, a date that should allow sufficient
 time for a successor to be nominated and confirmed as well as to make sure the Department's
 interests are properly articulated and protected at upcoming events to include Congressional
Dad’s resignation letter.

    resolute: Cancer Survivor Tells Paul Ryan:
 "I'd Be Dead" Without
 Obamacare
 17th Soulia4
A man who survived cancer despite a grim diagnosis challenged House Speaker PaulRyan (R-Wis.) on his efforts to repeal Obamacare. “Because of the Affordable Care Act, I’m standing here today,” Jeff Jeans told Ryan at a CNN town hall event on Thursday. Jeans, who identified himself as a longtime Republican who had worked on campaigns for Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, used to oppose the law. But then, he said, that changed when he was given six weeks to live and needed health insurance to get treatment. As a small business owner, Jeans explained, he doesn’t get health insurance through work like many people do. “I rely on the Affordable Care Act to be able to purchase my own insurance,” he said. And with a pre-existing condition, he likely would have had a hard time buying coverage in the pre-Obamacare U.S. “I want to thank President Obama from the bottom of my heart because I’d be dead if it weren’t for him,” he said. Ryan told Jeans that Republicans intend to replace President Barack Obama’s signature health law― which he referred to as being in a “death spiral”― “with something better,” though their plans largely remain a mystery. The Senate on Wednesday night took a major step towards repealing Obamacare, passing a budget resolution that made way for Congress to strip funding for the law. The House will take up the resolution on Friday.

Shout to u girls walking around the city in them slim fit Moncler and Canada Goose down coats I see y'all. Lil fine asses y'all think y'all slick. Y'all ain't slick at all. Smash got quadruple x ray vision. U could be wearing that coat over a sweater over another shirt over a bra and imma still be able to ascertain with only a quick glance whether or not I want u to bear my chirren. Them hats with the fur lining with the flappy ears? Them big Burberry scarves with the overcheck? None of that is slick. Smash got a radar for this shit. Y'all gotta remember - I do deals in the Middle East. I travel to a part of the world where I gotta sometimes make a snap judgment based on half an ankle and a half-revealed eyebrow whether a girl gorgeous or not. Y'all. Ain't. Slick. I swear I could judge a beauty contest where the girls wear burqas and I'd be like "Duanphen from Thailand bring your fine ass here u win the beauty contest I could tell by your strut that u fine AF" and then the burqas come off and bam, Smash was right, Ms. Thailand was indeed the winner. Nah but u know what fuck beauty contests. Beauty is more than that. It's not just physical. It's how a woman carry herself. It's how she talk. It's her intellect. It's her independence. It's whether if we're in a argument, she should ice cold slap me across the cheek - hard - and be like "I told you not to push my button" and I'm like "cot damn this woman assault and batteried me ok I deserved it but wow - she crazy, and high-key scary - I like it." How did I get on this tangent? All I'm saying is, regardless how thick your coat is, I see u. That holiday winter weight on your ass and hips looking right. Forget that new year resolution and lemme bury my face in it before u crash diet and start doing three spin classes per day for 'bikini weather'. Let smash enjoy it before it melts away. U dig! Bless up 😍😂😂😂
