Truer words have been rarely spoken.
“Kayne West has triggered the entire snowflake empire. The amount of hair on fire this week will contribute enormously to global warming.” —Gary Bauer
Little Rocketman holding hands with the S. Korean Prez, Mr. Kenyan West holding hands with Candace Owens and kissing on The Donald, Frenchie Prez is Trump’s bosom buddy, and now Angie the former East German soldier is coming around and saying the Iran nuke deal cannot stand as written. Unemployment claims surprised everyone by an unexpected drop this week. And now we find out that Obama, Susan Rice, and John Kerry all lied when they said there were no chemical weapons in Syria no more.
And Trump is allowed to be Trump, rockin’ and rollin’ in Michigan to the delight of the crowds. That really gets the elitists twitching like a goat’s butt in a pepper patch. The liberals have speak in euphumisims and hide behind political correctness because if they spoke bluntly and plainly, nobody would vote for them.

‘”O” did was set fire to the Middle East.’
To be fair, it was more Mrs. Clinton’s fault that the head of a sovereign state was sodomized to death with a bayonet. I’ll admit that the Obama policy in Syria had every appearance of pouring gas onto a fire. Luckily I didn’t vote for him the second time. I have yet to see how any likely result would be better than just letting Assad run the place and then pressuring him to be nicer.
It’s a bummer that the Washington establishment (a polite term for ‘deep state’ I guess, partly made up of Paul’s beloved 17 intelligence agencies) just love to bring down Third World leaders in that area and then let the chips fall where they may. It’s rather like how some CEOs are addicted to acquisitions, it’s fun to make things happen.
It probably doesn’t help that the Israelis are so deeply entrenched in US .gov policy, even if people were capable of foreseeing the outcome of their actions, there’ll always be confusion in motives.

Whether a Nobel Peace Prize is doled out or not concerning the Korean Peninsula, its a big story. The two sides are technically still at war. I remain skeptical but as this story unfolds, I might more towards the cautiously optimistic camp.
As a sitting Prez, Teddy Roosevelt received the Nobel for his role in crafting a peace agreement between Japan and Russia in their naval war. The 2002 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Jimmy Carter “for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts”, years after he left office.
The Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 was awarded jointly to Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin “for their efforts to create peace in the Middle East.” Arafat got a Nobel, lol.
Al Gore got a Nobel in 2007 and Obama got one in 2009, after just ten months in office. For exactly what did Obama do to receive the award remains controversial, but probably based upon projected expectations of hope and changy stuff in the future.
The omission of Mahatma Gandhi has been rather puzzling. Probably the Committee The Nobel Committee didn’t want to piss off the camel jockeys. Gandhi was nominated in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947, and, finally, a few days before his assassination in January 1948. Close, but no cigar…..as if Gandhi would even care about that worthless award.
So, if things work out beyond my wildest expectations and IF the N. Korean blood thirsty tyrannt who starves his own people and executes his own family members and the democratically elected S. Korean President have a nice bromance, then perhaps a Nobel is in order.
Should Trump receive a Nobel for his stick and carrot approach to Little Rocketman? Perhaps. Will Trump get a Nobel??? What, are you on drugs or something? Never! They gave one to the EU, to Al Gore, to Yasser Arafat but dissed Gandhi. Trump would have to pry the worthless prize out of The Nobel Committee’s cold dead hands.

Research it for a moment, look up the reduction in border crossings in that region (there was a lot of fuss when those systems were improved since it required illegal aliens to cross in more dangerous areas), and get back to us.
It’s interesting to consider what the optimum physical setup would be. Of course, the Green Libertarians appear to be anti-border, but that’s an uninteresting approach. The US in it’s present form wouldn’t last 20 years if we took that approach.

So can we get back to the real world now?
In a poll conducted last month, Harvard-Harris researchers found that reducing immigration was a bigger priority for GOP voters than tax cuts, repealing Obamacare, getting the U.S. out of the Iran Deal, destroying ISIS, and expanding family leave.
Immigration is so important to Republicans that it even surpassed the economy and jobs as being the biggest issue.
Supporters of Trump’s say reducing immigration should be the second biggest priority for the White House, just after stimulating American jobs.
Likewise, Trump’s efforts to roll back unfair multinational free trade deals and implement tariffs to protect American workers’ jobs is vastly popular with black Americans, where 60 percent recently said that free trade has resulted in U.S. job loss, as Breitbart News reported.

But the report stated that Clapper “subsequently acknowledged discussing the ‘dossier with CNN journalist Jake Tapper,’ and admitted that he might have spoken with other journalists about the same topic.”
Clapper became a CNN national security analyst in August 2017, just one month after his “executive interview” with the committee.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — A Malaysian court on Monday sentenced a Danish citizen to a week in jail after he pleaded guilty to maliciously publishing false information, the first person to be punished under a controversial anti-fake news law.
The legislation was approved by parliament earlier this month despite criticism that it was aimed at silencing dissent ahead of a May 9 general election. It carries a maximum penalty of six years in jail and a fine of 500,000 ringgit ($128,000).
Salah Salem Saleh Sulaiman was detained April 23, two days after he claimed in a YouTube video that he was with a Hamas scientist who was gunned down in Malaysia by two assailants on a motorcycle. Salah claimed he made countless calls to police who were slow to respond, and that an ambulance came an hour later.
Local media said Salah didn’t personally know the victim, Fadi al-Batsh, a Palestinian electrical engineering lecturer in Malaysia who was a member of Gaza’s ruling Hamas group.
The court sentenced Salah, who is of Yemeni descent and is in Malaysia on a holiday, to a week in jail from the day of his arrest and fined him 10,000 ringgit ($2,550).
Local media quoted Salah, who was not represented by a lawyer, as telling the court that he had only been in Malaysia for 10 days and didn’t know the country had an anti-fake news law. He said his action was a mistake and apologized.
Salah reportedly said he didn’t have money to pay the fine and will have to serve another month in jail instead.

Funny, the head of the British top spy ring, foreign intelligence division, was only 49 years old, on the job just 18 months or so, doing great, and 2 days after Trump got sworn in as Prez of these here United States, he up and left his job. Odd timing, eh? Guess he did not figure Trump would win either. Good thing Susan Rice wrote that non-contemporaneous CYA e-mail to herself on Trump’s swearing in day that “everything was done by the book, by the book, by the book, book, book”….. echoing into the darkness.

“If you’re using your personal account, there would need to be an investigation and a subpoena [to obtain those messages], which could be forthcoming,” Iannarelli said. “There is a serious problem with an FBI agent purposefully wishing to take bureau-related matters to an unsecure platform for the purposes of not being discovered by their employee,” Iannarelli told Fox News.
Iannarelli told Fox News that FBI policy is to communicate solely on FBI-issued devices for work-related matters.
