Senate via states:

I am willing to suspend disbelief to a certain extent (see: Haslam winning CT and RI) but how the actual eff did Kathy Szeliga beat Chris Van Hollen??

Haslam basically carried her to victory but she won very barely (Szeliga: 50.1 v Hollen: 49.9). She is unpopular and will most likely lose the seat to Hollen in 2022 due to how close the election was. The carryover effect that Haslam has won't be around in 2022 so the closest seats (MD, CT, NH, and NV) will be under threat by the democrats.

April-June, 2017 Part 2

- President Bill Haslam lands in Paris, France, where he meets French President Emmanuel Macron. The presidential couple (Bill and Crissy Haslam) visited the Eiffel Tower, the Pyramid of the Louvre, Les Invalides, the Champs Elysees and the Arc de Triomphe. President Haslam and President Le Pen hold a bilateral meeting at the Arc de Triomphe where they talked issues like the economy, free market, free trade, immigration, defense of democracy and human rights in the world, Russia, terrorism. Both leaders praised each other's countries' efforts to combat ISIS as well as international radical Islamic terrorism and to defend to democracy and freedom. They reaffirm their countries' strong relationship, partnership and commitment to stand to terrorism and oppression and to defend their common national security interests.


- Trained and armed by the Coalition forces, the moderate Syrian rebels managed to defeat Assad's forces in cities surrounding Damascus, including in Izra, Suwayda, Al-Qurayah, Kanaker, Qatana, etc. By deploying troops to fight ISIS, the Assad regime awakened the defense of these cities, which gave the advantage to the rebels. By freeing all the cities around Damascus, the rebels cut any connections between the rest of the Assad troops and the Syrian capital, which deprives them of reinforcements.



- President Bill Haslam lands in Brussels, Belgium where he meets the leaders of the other nations that are members of NATO in the context of the NATO summit where they will talk mostly issues like terrorism, international security, Iran and Syria's future.

President Haslam and his allies pledged to increase their support to the Coalition they are leading against ISIS and to intensify the airstrikes and the military operations against ISIS in the Middle East. A terrorism intelligence cell was agreed to be set up within the new intelligence division, which is intended to improve the sharing of information between members. The NATO allies agreed not to rule out any option to ensure Syria's democratization and they also pledged to adopt all the measures needed to reconstruct and stabilize Syria in the post-Assad era. They engaged themselves to intensify the track of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (leader of ISIS) and to increase sanctions against Iran in order to deprive Iran of the money they use to develop nuclear weapons and to sponsor international terrorism. President Le Pen cites France's example before declaring that Iran should follow this example by using its nuclear energy to ensure Iran's economic growth instead of building nuclear weapons and to support terrorism. Montenegro and Georgia officially became new members of NATO.



- In the context of the special election to fulfill the congressional seat of Ryan Zinke (who became Secretary of the Interior in the Haslam Administration) in Montana, Rob O'Neill (the retired U.S. Navy SEAL who killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011), the Republican candidate, easily wins the election with 69% of the vote over the Democrat Rob Quist who received 31% of the vote.



- The G7 leaders emphasized common endeavors: to end the Syrian crisis, to fulfill the UN mission in Libya and reducing the presence of ISIS, ISIL and Da'esh in Syria and Iraq.

Supporting economic activity and ensuring price stability was demanded while inequalities in trade and gender were called to be challenged. It was agreed to help countries in creating conditions that address the drivers of migration : ending hunger, increasing competitiveness and advancing global health security. Due to suspicions claiming that Pakistan sponsors terrorism and to the fact that Shakil Afridi was arrested by the Pakistani authorities while he assisted U.S. efforts to locate Osama Bin Laden, the G7 members agreed to reduce aid to Pakistan in order to force them to give more efforts to fight and defeat radical Islamic terrorist groups like ISIS, Al Qaeda and the Taliban. This decision is also aimed at encouraging India to send troops in Afghanistan in order to fight terrorism there. At the G7 summit, President Haslam and his allies agreed to ratify the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), a proposed free trade agreement between the United States and Europe, after reassures that job losses will be avoided thanks to tax cuts for the manufacturing industry and reduction of the corporation tax rate.

By launching airstrikes as well as a military assault against them, the Coalition gives the remaining ISIS jihadists no choice but to surrender, thus handing a great victory for the Allies in Mosul and costing ISIS its de facto capital.



- President Haslam continues discussions with G7 leaders on a whole range of issues, agreeing on a communique on fighting protectionism in international trade on promoting free market solutions in trade agreements and also on fighting for the promotion of human rights in the world and on improving the US' ecological footprint through the use of a part of the revenues from oil drilling to develop renewable energies.

The strong economic growth is due to the return of coal jobs to America following the end of the War on Coal, to the increase of energy production combined with a decrease of energy price, to the reduction of the fiscal burden on the American manufacturing industry which ensured the return of lost manufacturing jobs to America, to tax cuts and regulation cuts on businesses (including small businesses) that reinforced their ability to be competitive, to innovate, to produce and manufacture and to create jobs, and to the ratification of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the United States and the European Union which encouraged job creation in America and reinforced its competitiveness in the world economy through the increase of America's exports and imports, through the reduction of tariffs as well as the reduction of the United States' corporate tax rate from 40% to 15%.


- Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson introduces the Intelligence Security Act that would increase the counter-terrorism budget of both the CIA and the NSA in order to reinforce America's efforts to fight terrorism and to collect all the information America needs to do so. The Senate vote on that bill will be set on June 10 and if it passes the Senate the House vote will be held on June 17.



- While the Coalition forces keep tracking Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a U.S. drone located an ISIS base in the Mount Alfaf, situated at approximately 30 km from Mosul. This drone also spot a jihadist leader dressed in black, with a great beard and injured right arm. This jihadist leader is mentioned to be none other than Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. His wounds might explain the several past rumors according to which he would have been killed by the Coalition's airstrikes and that might conclude that these airstrikes only wounded him and failed to kill him. But whether this jihadist is really Baghdadi remains to be clarified.



- The CIA launches a secret mission in which they engaged an Iraqi military officer as a double agent. The double agent goes to Mount Alfaf where he disguised himself into an ISIS Medical Officer. When he meets the local jihadists, he pretends to be an ISIS Medical Officer who was involved in ISIS’ unsuccessful attempt to defend the Iraqi city of Bakhdida, not away from Mount Alfaf. When he begins the work, the double agent uses a syringe to take infected blood from Baghdadi’s right arm in order to stop him from being contaminated. Later, after learning about Baghdadi’s blood type, he takes blood from another jihadist of the same blood type and transfers it into the jihadist leader’s arm. Later that day, after discretely leaving the base, the double agent brings Baghdadi’s infected blood with him and sends it to the CIA officials in order to allow them to find out whether this blood really belongs to Baghdadi or just to a Baghdadi lookalike.



- After hours of DNA tests, the CIA officials finds out that the infected blood matches with Baghdadi’s DNA with a 100 percent identification, which determinately affirms Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s location at the Mount Alfaf. The CIA transfers all the information to President Haslam. The President of the United States authorizes a military operation at the Mount Alfaf to capture or kill Baghdadi. The preparations of the operation started.



- The United States and Iraq launched the Operation Phalanx that involves 40,000 soldiers in total. The Allies surrounded the Mount Alfaf in order to make escape impossible for Baghdadi and the other jihadists who are present there.

- On July 2nd, Bashar Al-Assad was captured by Coalition forces, officially ending the Coalition's main reason for involvement in the country of Syria. The Reconstruction of Syria begins and all the former rebels groups agree to form a Parliament of sorts and they declare that Riad Darar as the first Unofficial President of the Free Syrian Republic. Riad announced that when the country is rebuilt enough for a Presidential election, which will most likely be around 2021, he will run for the people to elect him.


- On August 10th, With ISIS destroyed and Syria slowly re-constructing and re-building, President Haslam met with Iraqi President Fuad Masum, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Syrian President Darar to discuss the possibility of a independent Kurdish nation in a way of rewarding the Kurdish people for aiding the Coalition against ISIS and Assad. Erdogan rejects the idea heavily and leaves the meeting enraged. President Masum is reluctant at first but with Darar convincing him otherwise, It is agreed that Syrian and Iraqi Kurds will have a Referendum on January 13th, 2018 to see the fate of an Independent Kurdistan. President Erdogan denounced the meeting, stating that any Kurdish Nation will face immediate hostilities with Turkey as they don't have right to exist. President Haslam ends the Alliance with Turkey due to this disagreement.

The Name was in reference for North Korea due to the fact that a peace treaty was never signed, just an armistice. After 2 full weeks of training, the Operation is launched on the nigh of September 26 and within hours, the Kim family is dead and multiple North Korean weapons are deactivated. With many leaders dead, the North Korean army escapes into the wilderness under the leadership of No Kwang-Chol and form a guerrilla movement in an attempt to oust the American Forces.

Haslam has yet to endorse any of them but out of the htree, Surprisingly, Kanye West has the best chance of winning most likely due to the fact that he is a minority and has huge name recognition.

Due to UN Condemnation for the earlier recognition as Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Haslam also announces that he'll withdrawal $126 Million from the Funding of the United States, as that money needs to be given to American citizens more than other countries unless they have recently have had a war happen to them.

PRESIDENT BILL EDAWRD HASLAM'S FIRST STATE OF THE UNION

"Thank you

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, my fellow Americans: the first 15 years of this new century were marked by strong global terrorist threat, growing nuclear threat around the world, division and economic obstacles such as a recession followed by a sluggish economy. But now, America is back on top"

*APPLAUSE*

"We managed to accomplish such strong and remarkable progress by promoting free enterprise and free market, by cutting taxes for all Americans, including the middle class and lower income Americans, by reducing government spending, by abolishing the IRS, by doubling the child tax credit, by encouraging energy production and exploitation, by promoting free trade, by promoting school choice, which ensured the graduation of more of our kids as well as their entrance in the workforce and by championing businesses.

Thanks to the adoption of the biggest tax cuts in history, we reinforced the American people's purchasing power, thus increasing consumption as well as our fellow citizens' ability to raise their families and to live the American Dream. As a result, we rewarded hard working families for their hard work and we handed them all the opportunities that previous generations didn't have."

*APPLAUSE*

"Our country is now far more independent from foreign energy than ever before thanks to the increase of permits and liscenses on federal lands, to the construction of pipelines helping us to produce and transport oil to markets and to the development of clean-coal technologies. Thanks to energy independence, we will finally take advantage of all of our sources of energy and by using a part of the revenues from oil drilling to develop renewable energies, which will not only be beneficial for our economy but also ensure and improvement of the environment."

*APPLAUSE*

"Energy independence will also boost our automobile industry by helping increasing auto manufacturing and by making our cars less expansive, which will encourage consumers here and abroad to buy more American cars, thus giving us the upper hand in trade deals. And finally, energy independence will deprive terrorist groups of revenues from our dependency on foreign oil, thus reducing their ability to finance and organize terrorist activities."

*APPLAUSE*

"Throughout the last year, we managed to make our free trade deals fair for American workers while encouraging America's competitiveness in the world economy. The right way to make our trade deals favorable for economic growth in America is not to isolate from the rest of the world but to make America the best place in the world to do business. That's exactly what we did. When I came in office, our corporate tax rate was the highest in the industrialized world, which was 40%, which diminished opportunities and economic growth. We reversed that tendency by reducing it to 15%, thus making America the best business-friendly environment, favoring job creation and bringing our jobs back. By cutting taxes for our manufacturing industry, we succeeded in bringing our lost manufacturing jobs back home and boosting our manufacturing industry. Through lowering tariffs and signing trade deals in the Asia-Pacific region and with Europe, we are now more competitive in the global economy than we were in the last 20 years, encouraging innovation and getting us much more international consumers who are now buying more American products thanks to lower costs on these products."


*APPLAUSE*

"As we all know, businesses, including small businesses, are the very life-blood of our economy. Approximately 70% of jobs are created in small businesses. That's why my administration took the following measures to make America the best country to do business : cutting taxes and regulations for businesses, reducing our corporate tax rate in half, lowering the cost of doing business in America and abolishing Dodd-Frank, which helped small banks to recover and to keep loaning money to small businesses. Our duty to grow this economy and to create jobs for all Americans is not over yet. But we are heading in the right direction and by keeping these efforts, we will get America to full employment and full prosperity."

*APPLAUSE*

"Last year, we reinforced our borders by adding ICE enforcement, by hiring 20,000 new border agents, by establishing a E-verify as well as a mandatory entry/exit tracking system and background checks on refugees, thus bringing illegal immigration under control. Now that illegal immigration is under control, time has come to reform our broken immigration system in order to give immigrants a fair path to citizenship, which will also reinforce our workforce and our economy by creating economic opportunities for them and by adding their skills in our workforce. That way we will keep America safe while making our immigration system fairer and making our economy stronger. We are a nation of immigrants, despite our ethnical, religious and political differences, we are all Americans. That's why our country is called the United States of America."

*APPLAUSE*

"We made a remarkable contribution in making our health care system favorable for all patients. We improved our health care system by adopting a new health care law that created an advanceable and refundable tax credit that all Americans can use to purchase health insurance, which, increase credits annually and set the tax preference for employer-sponsored insurance on a glide path to ensure that it will equal the level of the credits within a decade. This new health care law adopted by my administration reformed insurance regulations to lower costs, encouraging innovation, and protecting the vulnerable to make sure those with pre-existing conditions will have access to affordable care through mechanisms such as federally-supported, actuarially-sound and state-based high risk pools, that Americans will be able to purchase coverage across state lines so they can seek out affordable coverage regardless of where they live and that consumer-centered products like Health Savings Accounts will be encouraged and expanded, thus preventing taxpayers from being asked to bail out an insurance company that loses money, as is currently the case under the previous health care law. Thanks to our health care plan, we managed to preserve and reinforce Medicare and Medicaid by placing them on fiscally-sustainable paths, moving Medicaid into a per-capita block grant system and preserving funding for its recipients while freeing states from Washington mandates. As a result, all Americans have access to the necessary health care services they need, which will allow them to live longer, healthy and fully proud."

*APPLAUSE*

"In the last few years, so many families, individuals and citizens around the world, including here in America, lost loved ones and saw their freedom and their values threatened by the evil called radical Islamic terrorism. ISIS attacked us and our allies for defending the values we believe in such as democracy, freedom of religion, gender equity, etc. ISIS cowardly attacked our allies in Paris, Nice and Brussels just like they cowardly killed innocent Americans in San Bernardino and Orlando. But we did not back down and decided to fight back by standing with our allies and to take military action to defeat radical Islamic terrorism for the sake of our security, our freedom, our democracy and our values."

*APPLAUSE*

"But since I came in office, we did much more to accomplish that duty. We allowed the Attorney General to block the transfer of firearms to suspected terrorists, which increased security while protecting the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. We reinforced the FBI's counter-terrorism budget as well as our security measures, we increased our nation's defense budget, thus allowing us to reinforce and modernize our military, to have all the necessary arsenal to fight terrorism and to ensure our troops' readiness. We reinforced and expanded our alliances and along with our allies we launched a military intervention in Syria and Iraq in order to fight and defeat ISIS. By recapturing ISIS' oil refineries, we deprived them of the necessary revenues they need to organize and commit their terrorist plans. By arming and training the Kurds and by establishing background checks on Syrian rebels before arming them in order to make sure we don't mistakenly arm jihadists, we gave our local allies all the necessary arsenal and military skills to fight ISIS. By tracking and striking terrorists wherever they are and also thanks the courage, patriotism and determination of our troops in Syria and Iraq, we freed all of the territory that ISIS once occupied in this region in the last 4 years. Most of ISIS' top lieutenants are killed or captured and our brave and valiant troops killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of ISIS. Justice is done for all the victims of his terror."

*APPLAUSE*

"But our fight against ISIS is not over yet and we will keeping these efforts until we obtain unconditional victory against ISIS and global radical Islamic terrorism."

*APPLAUSE*

"Our troops and our allies put an end to 17 years of tyranny, oppression, massacres and terror imposed by the Assad regime that was none other than Russia's puppet. Assad's terror and oppressive actions pushed more Syrians to radicalization and terrorism. But after we ended this madness, Syria is now led by democratic government and in 2021, Syria will vote in their first democratic elections since a long time as they will be stable enough to do so by then, but new projections have shown it to be as early as next year. The Syrian people is finally regaining trust in their government and their country has finally retrieved its sovereignty. Along with our allies, we are invested hundreds of billions of dollars for the reconstruction of Syria in order to make sure that Syrians will have access to all the services they need, especially food supply, health, security, home ownership and security. And by training the new Syrian Armed Forces, we will give them the responsibility to defend their nation, which will prevent any terrorist group from emerging in the region."

*APPLAUSE*

"As we speak, for almost 2 decades, we are now fighting the longest war in America's history. In the last few years, the Taliban, Al Qaeda and ISIS made progress in Afghanistan, multiplying their terrorist attacks in this country as well as in Pakistan. But my administration took bold decisions to fight radical Islamic terrorism in Afghanistan and to give us a clear chance to succeed there and to win the War in Afghanistan. Despite our differences and our different interests, we managed to convince our Indian and Pakistani allies that we have a common enemy, which is radical Islamic terrorism, and that we have a common goal : defeating radical Islamic terrorism. So while we deployed 20,000 additional troops in reinforcement in Afghanistan, India has accepted to send 60,000 troops there. As a result, we combined the incredibly powerful military strengths of both the 1st military power in the world (the United States) and the 4th military power in the world (India), which drastically gave us the upper hand against terrorists and helped us to defeat them in all the territories they occupied, thus eradicating ISIS, Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan. And by finishing our duty to rebuild Afghanistan and to train the Afghan Army, we're going to make Afghans fully responsible of the security of their country for the sake of security, stability, democracy and peace in this region. The end of our combat mission and of the War in Afghanistan are imminent. Peace and stability are finally about to return in Afghanistan."

*APPLAUSE*

"North Korea, our biggest threat since the end of the Cold War, is no more. After I met with the leaders of China, Japan, the Philippines. Taiwan, and South Korea, we were able to agree on "Operation Unfinished Business". For two long weeks, Special forces from all 6 countries trained and trained and trained until everyone was sure we were 100% ready. The, On September 26th, 2017, we launched "Operation Unfinished Business" and within one night, Almost all Nukes that North Korea had were deactivated and almost every major Leader was killed except No Kwang-Chol who fled into the Wilderness and started a insurgency, an insurgency that, with our and Japanese aid, will never topple the Democracy that Korea now has. Kwang-Chol's Insurgency has been projected to have anywhere from 25-40,000 men but the problem for them is that they are weak, malnourished, technologically lacking and on the verge of surrendering. Because of what happened on that day, Former North Korean citizens will know what democracy is like and North Korean infant will be born and raised in a free country where they have the right to do anything."

*APPLAUSE*

"We reiterated our commitment to stand for freedom, democracy and international territorial integrity by standing with our Ukrainian allies, providing all the necessary military arsenal and equipment to them in order to help them defending their country against Russia's expansionist policies and by increasing sanctions against Russia. Because of that, Russia has pulled completely out of Crimea and the War in the Donbass is over. We took a real stand against Russia and instead of World War 3 happening, Russia backed off. Vladimir Putin backed off. For the first time since the end of the Cold War, Russia is afraid of the United States again and will not challenge our power again."

*APPLAUSE*

"Finally, in the Middle East, the Kurdish People finally have their own nation that they were cheated out of in the 1920s. Young Kurdish boys and girls will be able to witness the first years of an independent Kurdistan. No more will they suffer abuse from Iraq or Syria. While there are still Kurds in Iran and Turkey deprived of their basic freedoms, we are on the path for those former Iraqi and Syrian kurds to witness the fruits of Independence and a new country that is our ally."


*APPLAUSE*

"In one Final Note, the Creation of the United Nations for Peace, Prosperity, Freedom, and Change now has several countries and thanks to that, we now have a truly strong coalition of allies who can now help every country prosper as the United States and defend one another as good as any other country in the Alliance."

*APPLAUSE*

"Thanks to the return of the American leadership, security, freedom, democracy and justice are progressing and we will win the War on Terror."

*APPLAUSE*

"My fellow Americans, our economy and our prosperity are stronger than ever before thanks to the promotion of free enterprise and free market. Our national security is stronger thanks to a stronger military and stronger alliances. And our society is fairer thanks to a better health care system and to the defense of our Constitution. America has reborn from the ashes. We can't stop thinking about the future. The best is yet to come. A bright future is ahead of the entire American people in the context of this optimistic century that is none other than the 21st century. Let's work together, no matter our differences, our beliefs and our origins, to get to this bright, prosperous and fair future.

Thank you. God bless you all and God bless the United States of America."
