And Delta has a bad history of operations going sideways under Dem leadership (per Delta guys)... just saying. 

 

Amazing that's so hard to understand.  The President's the CinC.  Not the Speaker of the House, or the chair of the Armed Services Committee, or any other damn body.  Trump is under no obligation to forewarn Congress of an upcoming military action, any more than Obama was required to forewarn Congress of his hundreds of drone strikes.

You know...it's possible we got Randy Quaid by mistake...

 

He's busy doing dramatic readings of Trump tweets (seriously). He enjoys them because they are better than anything writers could put together for him (sorry DR!).

Listening to the radio on the way into work this morning, a couple things struck me:

 

1.) On the BBC World Service, they had some broad on who was talking about how killing Baghdadi was a problem because al Qaeda and ISIS could potentially now merge, maybe, despite the fact that the groups hate each other, and that al Baghdadi being in power could potentially have maybe been a stumbling block to any potential maybe merger before his death. It was ***** pathetic, how many qualifiers she had to use with this scare tactic nonsense.

 

2.) Flipped to the POTUS channel after that stupidity, and the morning show host (who is usually pretty moderate/reasonable) was talking about  Wallace's interview and Pelosi not being notified. His reasoning was that because she's 3rd in the line of succession, she was "3rd in command", and therefore should have been notified in advance.

 

 

These people are absolutely irrational and deranged. They're even sucking in the relatively neutral lefties.

I wonder if President Truman notified Sam Rayburn that he was about to drop the big one on Japan. 

 

Hell, Truman didn't even know the bomb existed until he became president.

 

FDR was clearly in need of impeachment, since his VP didn't know every tactical detail about everything.

Well, he found a way to escape that, didn't he?

And the Russians knew before Truman did.

Economy booming....check

Unemployment down....check

Existing wars ending....check

No new wars started....check

Nuclear threats diminished....check

Allies stepping up to the plate....check

Terrorist leaders killed....check

 

What's the problem again?  If the folks in the media would step back for one minute and look at the overall arc of the President's job performance they'd have to be embarrassed with how they've spun it. You shouldn't judge anyone on the News of the Day, or the Twitter Minute....but apparently that's where we're at now.  Not looking good for our future national discourse.

You gotta love an austere religious scholar in his natural element....sitting in fatigues with a rifle leaning against his chair! I recall this was Ghandis go to look! Or was that Mother Teresa? 

 

.....similar to our own religious scholars....Rev. Sharpton and Rev. Farakhan come to mind immediately.....

ANALYSIS: TRUE.  

 

You Can’t Mock the Post Enough. 

 

Always true, really, but especially so after yesterday’s massive Baghdadi self-own.

Simply amazing, and so many people scoff at the term Fake News, it gets worse and worse

It's not fake news -- it's propaganda. They used to be able to hide it better under a guise of objectivity, but 2016 changed everything. Too many people watched as the media blatantly lied and carried the water for the USIC pushing what they KNEW to be a false story, just because they disagreed with who the people elected as POTUS. They will never recover from the self inflicted wounds of 2017-2019. 

 

And the country will be better for it.

Finally, after 70 years the stories of Soviet infiltration of Western culture, media and society are coming to light.  Of course it's not in the big media companies' interest to admit their ideas weren't their own, but a part of a massive propaganda machine that was born under Stalin. 

 

Here are two great books on the subject, that are somehow flying below the radar.

 

Cold Warriors - imagine only 12 AMZ reviews!

 

Judgment in Moscow -  imagine only 20 AMZ reviews!

 

 

It's like worshiping your idols since you were 12, but then coming to the realization that the idol was the devil.  Few people have the courage to admit the truth even when presented with evidence.

The liberal media and liberal governments of Canada/US/UK laughed away all concerns of this infiltration from 1919 to 1991

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These 3 countries infiltrated the USSR during the Cold War as well

 

i'll choose to believe the efforts of the Can/US/UK were for the betterment of the world
