Is Trump Looking For Curve Appeal In A Press Secretary? Apparently So.

Donald Trump, Gender, Government, Intelligence, Media

Kimberly Guilfoyle has said that to be the POTUS’ press secretary, “you have to be someone who he actually wants to spend a little bit of time with.”

Come again?!

Already one can sense the flirtatious tone set here. Boobs before brains. With Kimberly Guilfoyle, the Trump administration seems to be going into full reality TV mode. A supple mind is not one of her assets.

If the president is looking for nothing but curve appeal in a press secretary; then Guilfoyle is it, although she, apparently, considers herself “a great communicator … with deep knowledge …”

UPDATED (5/17): Sanctuary City Mayor Trashes American Hero Robert E. Lee

“Sanctuary City Mayor Trashes American Hero Robert E. Lee” is the current column, now on The Daily Caller. An excerpt:

Mayor Mike Signer—who had declared his intention to make Charlottesville, Virginia, the “capital of the resistance” to President Trump and a sanctuary city “to protect immigrants and refugees”—is refusing to protect a symbol saluting one of America’s greatest men.

Yes, Robert E. Lee was a great American.

If Signer knew the first thing about human valor, he’d know that there was no man more valorous and courageous than Robert E. Lee…

… With its statue, Charlottesville salutes Gen. Lee, who, in a letter to his sister, expressed unhectoring clarity as to where his loyalties lay:

“With all my devotion to the Union, and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home.”

Lee, you see, was first and foremost a Virginian, the state that gave America its greatest presidents and the Constitution itself.

Born in New York (confirmation of which Sergey Brin’s Google search is reluctant to cough up), steeped in Berkeley and Princeton—Mayor Mike Signer is nothing but a carpetbagger. …

READ THE REST. “Sanctuary City Mayor Trashes American Hero Robert E. Lee” is now on The Daily Caller.

UPDATE (5/17):

TownHall.com readers: “Rarely do we find honesty such as this when reading about the War for Southern Independence.” And, “It’s kinda sad that a woman like Ilana who was born in South Africa, lived in Israel and around the world, knows more about our history during the ‘Civil War’ than the mayor of Charlottesville!!”

‘I Did Not Reveal THAT Information.’ Hope POTUS Avoids Those Words.

“The story as reported is not true,” barked National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster. He was responding to Washington Post allegations that Trump was indiscreet during a meeting with Russian diplomats, last week:

During the May 10 meeting at the White House with Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak, Trump began describing details about an Islamic State terror threat related to the use of laptop computers on aircraft, according to current and former U.S. officials.

Let’s hope POTUS avoids saying, “I did not reveal THAT Information.” Shades of the wording in another scandal.

But frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn. Here’s a president who ran on a domestic platform, but who is currently preoccupied with menacing the madman in North Korea and hassling a Muslim moderate in Syria. (Did you know that the reformers and the moderates come from the ranks of the Shiite and Sufi, and that Assad, an Alawite, is Shia?)
