‘Our new golden age will be coal-fired’: Trump signs EO to revitalize American coal production

By Thomas Stevenson | The Post Millennial On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order seeking to increase domestic coal energy production as well as designate coal as a mineral, as the president is looking to increase energy production in the United States.

The order states that it is meant to reinvigorate "America's beautiful clean coal industry," and directs "relevant agencies to identify coal resources on Federal lands, lift barriers to coal mining, and prioritize coal leasing on those lands." The biggest coal producing states are Wyoming, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Kentucky. In addition to streamlining the process and getting age...

President Trump to implement travel ban on Afghanistan, Pakistan over ‘deficient’ screening

By Thomas Stevenson | The Post Millennial President Donald Trump is set to implement a new travel ban that would bar individuals from Afghanistan and Pakistan from entering the United States, according to a new report from Reuters. This comes after Trump drafted an executive order that directed cabinet members to recommend a list of countries for bans where their "vetting and screening information is so deficient."

Afghanistan would then be added to the list as a result of a draft proposal...
