Therefore, on the first day of my term of office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:

* FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;

* SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);

* THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;

Donald Trump Says He'll Deport 2-3 Million People Once In Office : The Two-Way : NPR

Donald Trump Says He'll Deport 2-3 Million People Once In Office : The Two-Way : NPR: "He'll build a border wall and he'll deport millions of people who are in the U.S. illegally, President-elect Donald Trump says, promising to keep his campaign pledges on immigration in his first prolonged interview since winning the White House.

Saying that his administration will deport "probably 2 million" — and possibly 3 million — people who are in the country illegally, Trump told 60 Minutes' Lesley Stahl that he wants to secure the border. Trump also seemed willing to consider the plan some of his fellow Republicans have aired, of securing some parts of the border with a fence.

The interview with Trump will air on CBS Sunday night at 7 p.m. ET; it also includes members of his family. The interview was taped Friday at Trump's Fifth Avenue residence in New York City. It comes after days of anti-Trump protests in more than a dozen American cities, where demonstrators have criticized the incoming president's immigration stance."

Trump's First 100 Days: Here Is What The President-Elect Wants To Do : NPR

Trump's First 100 Days: Here Is What The President-Elect Wants To Do : NPR: "On Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell mostly made nice with Trump but also shot down or expressed little enthusiasm in some of his plans. On Trump's proposal to impose term limits on Congress, McConnell said, "It will not be on the agenda in the Senate." McConnell has been a long-standing opponent of term limits, as NPR's Susan Davis reports. "I would say we have term limits now — they're called elections."

McConnell also threw some cold water on Trump's infrastructure plans, calling it not a top priority.

McConnell did say repealing Obamacare is a "pretty high item on our agenda" along with comprehensive tax reform and achieving border security "in whatever way is the most effective.""

Introducing Beatles' valuable albums

Introducing Beatles' valuable albums: "There is a lengthy checklist collectors use to spot a fake LP, but one quick and reliable test is to look at the record label.

Originals have both the LP title, "Introducing the Beatles," and the artist credit, "The Beatles," above the center hole.

This is true no matter which version you have, and it applies to both mono and stereo.

Counterfeits have only the LP title, "Introducing the Beatles," above the center hole, and place the artist credit, "The Beatles," below the center hole."
