âDespite the government shutdown  (the department) determined the operational necessity of television and radio broadcasts constitutes them as essential activities â  chief Defense Department spokeswoman Dana White  said. âWe will continue to find solutions to support our troops at home and abroad.â
 Her  announcement followed outcry about overseas U.S. service members not being able to see the two games Sunday afternoon  particularly since officials have said military personnel wonât get paid during the furlough  which started overnight Friday.
 White  described some legal and manpower maneuvering to get the games on air.  She  said two of the eight Armed Forces Network channels -- news and sports -- will remain on  despite the network being run by civilians  who have been furloughed in the shutdown.
âWith minimal manning  we can keep the sports channel up without incurring any additional cost or manpower-complying with shutdown guidance  " White  said in a statement. âThanks to uniform leadership at AFN  our comptroller and legal team.â
 She  said the news channel remains on because the contract has already been paid and the sports channel was turned on because âit doesn't cost any more money or manpower to manage a second channel.â
Still   White  had some sharp words for Congress  whose failure to pass a temporary spending resulted in the shutdown.
âThe shutdown requires us to do a lot of tedious work â  she  said. âCongress needs to pass a budget.â

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) is âquietlyâ working with Democrats on new legislation to dole out amnesty to nearly 800 000 to 3.5 million illegal aliens  a new report reveals.
According to POLITICO   Flake  has been working with Democrat Senators Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) on a âGang of Eightâ-style amnesty deal for illegal aliens who are enrolled and eligible for the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
 Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.)  quietly began working with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) several weeks ago in a new âgangâ to craft Dreamer legislation that could pick up 60 votes  according to a  Flake  spokesman. Flake and Bennet worked together nearly five years ago to write the Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform measure. Aides declined to name all the senators who are involved  although Democratic officials said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois is also engaged in the talks. âTo have those kids go through another end of the year without knowing what their status is  is not good â  Flake  said Monday evening. âThere are a couple of issues we still need consensus on  but weâre getting close on a number of them.â
 Flakeâs  latest push for amnesty comes after the House and Senate passed tax reform legislation  in which Flake claimed that the Senate Republican leadership promised him a DACA amnesty in exchange for his support for tax reform  as Breitbart News reported.

National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre  said Thursday that the group called for "additional regulation" of bump-stock devices used on guns in the Las Vegas massacre â not for banning them.
"What the NRA has said is we ought to take a look at that and see if it is in compliance with federal law and additional regulation  " LaPierre  told Sean Hannity on Fox News. "We didn't say ban or confiscate.
 LaPierre  slammed efforts by Democrats to use the attack to push for stronger gun controls.
"The American public all over this country  they see these monsters and they don't want to be alone out there "  LaPierre  said. "They want to be able to protect themselves."
