Obama’s Own Secretary Of Defense Thinks Trump’s Islam Speech Was Better
by Tammy on May 23, 2017Yes, because it was. But I suppose we should praise former Obama sycophants for recognizing the truth of the matter. Via Daily Caller. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates contrasted President Donald Trump’s Sunday speech on Islam to the 2009 Cairo speech by former President Barack Obama, at a Foundation for Defense of Democracies conference Tuesday. “It clearly set us on a different, and in my view better path, than President Obama’s Cairo speech,” Gates declared. Gates characterized Obama’s 2009 Cairo speech as “basically … put the responsibility on the U.S. for things that had gone wrong.” He contrasted the speech to Trump’s who he thought “put the responsibility on the government’s of [Muslim] countries.” Gates comments are particularly remarkable...

Background: President Trump Slips Prayer Note into Western Wall in Jerusalem
by Shifra on May 23, 2017President Trump is the first sitting POTUS to visit the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The Western Wall (also called “The Kotel,” which is “wall” in Hebrew) is a section of one of four original retaining walls King Herod built in the first century B.C. to support the Temple Mount. It is also the only remaining portion of the Second Jewish Temple, which stood in Jerusalem until the Romans destroyed it in 70 A.D. as they put down a Jewish revolt. It is a very old tradition to put personal prayers in the crevices of the stones. (The notes are removed by a crew once a year, before Passover, and are buried in nearby Mt. of Olives. ) When Candidate Barack...

Trump Reportedly Considering Fox’s Kimberly Guilfoyle As Press Secretary
by Tammy on May 15, 2017I don’t have inside knowledge about this, but I know original news reports at the start of the transition was that she would be involved at the White House in Communications. We know that never happened, but this would be a good step getting the Trump administration’s communications department out of incompetent swamp hands. Bringing Kim on in any role would also indicate President Trump is aware of where theproblem is and wants to change it. There are lots of reports that he wants to do a great deal of house cleaning. I’d say that’s unlikely, but an addition or two, or a single change up, just might happen. I think it MUST happen. So good luck to Kim, I...

Secret Service Fires Two Agents Over White House Fence-Jumper
by Tammy on April 14, 2017Oh, so you can work for the government *and* get fired. Who knew? It’s about time. Via NY Post. The Secret Service fired two of its agents for letting a White House fence-jumper get within steps of the president’s front door. Police arrested Jonathan Tran, 26, of California last month for climbing over a series of security gates and fences — and spending 15 minutes on White House grounds — while the Secret Service struggled to find him. Now two agents who were posted close to the breach have been fired, CNN reported, citing two unnamed law enforcement sources. The axed agents were guarding posts near the Treasury Building and the entrance to East Executive Avenue when Tran hopped a...

A Syrian man lashed out after being asked by a CNN reporter to criticize Donald Trump’s refugee ban. Anchor Brooke Baldwin attempted to make a point about acceptance of refugees while talking to Kassam Eid, who survived a 2013 chemical attack on Syria.

Video) Nikki Haley: We Are Prepared to Do More on Syria, Hope We Won’t Have To
by Shifra on April 7, 2017Thank God for President Trump and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. After eight miserable years of Obama and his gang, and the wretched Samantha Power as his ambassador to the UN, the U.S. is back: No more of Obama’s policy of “Leading With His Behind,” er, “Leading From Behind.” We are now…Leading! Via RealClearPolitics. American Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley warned members of the Security Council on Friday that the U.S. would not hesitate to conduct more strikes like the one last night in Syria if it must. “Bashar Assad must never use chemical weapons again,” she warned. “Ever.” “The United States took a very measured step last night,” Haley said. “We are prepared to do more, but we...

Steyn: Trump’s Words Have Meaning; This Was Inauguration Day for America
by Tammy on April 7, 2017Exactly. Via RCP. Columnist Mark Steyn said President Trump, while not as articulate and good at using lofty rhetoric as former President Obama, his words “have meaning.” Steyn said Trump sent a message to the Chinese while sitting across the dinner table from them and the world with his decision to strike Syria in retaliation for Assad attacking his own citizens with chemical weapons. Steyn said Trump also sent a message to Putin as well as Congressional Democrats and Susan Rice for investigation after investigation into connections to Russia. “He sent a message to Putin, and, thereby, incidentally also made all these stupid investigations of investigations of investigations that the Senate and the House are chasing their tails and look...

Video: Rick Santorum Calls Out CNN For Phony ‘Anti-Semitism’ Attack on Trump
by Shifra on February 22, 2017Remember when Obama strongly condemned the vicious “knockout” attacks on Jews in Brooklyn? And remember how concerned he was about the rising incidents of attacks on Jewish students on U.S. college campuses? Yeah, neither do I. And you know what else I don’t remember? I can’t recall any Libs criticizing Obama for his silence on the knockout attacks, or on any other attacks on Jews during the last eight years. But now, in their daily drumbeat of attacks against President Trump and his family, Lefties are suddenly pretending to care about the recent spate of bomb threats targeting Jewish centers. So, kudos to Rick Santorum for calling out Very Fake News CNN for their very fake sudden outrage. Via aol.com...

Video Flashback: John Lewis on Obama: If You Don’t Respect the Man, Respect the Position
by Shifra on January 15, 2017Apparently, Civil Rights icon Rep. John Lewis believes “respecting the position of the presidency” only applies to Democrat presidents. Via Grabien. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), who has stoked controversy after saying he doesn’t believe Donald Trump is a legitimate American president, sang a very different tune last year when discussing critics of President Obama. In an interview on CNBC, Lewis said that even if Obama’s critics don’t like him as a person, they should at least “respect the position.” The comment came in a conversation about whether Obama bears any responsibility over the state of social division in America. Lewis said Obama has faced unprecedented hostility on account of his race…. Video via Daily Caller Watch: CNN host blasts the...

Video Flashback: Donald Trump on “60 Minutes”… In 1985
by Shifra on November 16, 2016Portrait of a young man, destined for great things. Via CBS News. ….On November 17, 1985 — almost 31 years to the day he declared victory in the 2016 presidential election — Donald Trump traveled around New York City, from real estate holding to real estate holding, with “60 Minutes’” Mike Wallace. Just 39 years old then, the real estate magnate had already made a name for himself as an ambitious — some would say arrogant — entrepreneur. He was eight years into his first marriage with Ivana. He had three young children. And he was rebranding New York City in the Trump name. In many ways, the Donald Trump portrayed in that first interview is the very same Donald...

Lib Headline Hysteria: Climate Change Denier Leads Trump’s EPA Transition Team
by Shifra on November 13, 2016Climate Change denier? There are no climate change deniers. Don’t we all acknowledge that climate change exists? Two days ago, the climate in NYC was cloudy. And today: sunny! See? Climate Change 🙂 Via CBS News. President-elect Donald Trump has selected a climate skeptic to lead his Environmental Protection Agency transition team, a man whose beliefs are distinctly at odds with President Obama’s environmental policies. The Competitive Enterprise Institute’s (CEI) Myron Ebell is also viewed by many as a top candidate to become the next head of the EPA. Ebell’s research focuses on questioning what he calls “global warming alarmism” and opposing energy rationing policies, according to his biography on CEI’s website…. Ebell and other climate change deniers have collectively...
