UPDATED (8/4/017): The Kurds Are America’s Friends, Not Turkey’s Erdogan

Foreign Policy, IMMIGRATION, Middle East

And this is what transpires when American elites import the world, its factions and fights. (Via The Guardian, because the American Moron Media are news-averse.)

Nine people were hurt and two arrests were made during an altercation at the Turkish ambassador’s residence in the US capital during a visit by Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdo?an.
According to witnesses, a brawl erupted when Erdo?an’s security detail attacked protesters carrying the flag of the Kurdish PYD party outside the residence. A local NBC television affiliate reported Erdo?an was inside the building at the time.
Erdo?an’s referendum victory spells the end of Turkey as we know it.
Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Dustin Sternbeck said the altercation broke out between two groups but he didn’t elaborate on the circumstances. He said two people were arrested, including one who was charged with assaulting a police officer.
“All of the sudden they just ran towards us,” Yazidi Kurd demonstrator Lucy Usoyan told ABC, adding that she was attacked by a pro-Erdo?an supporter. ..

Still and all, the Kurds are America’s friends, not the Turks. That is if Deep State America can be a friend to any nation.

The moron media had also failed to tell Americans that “Trump agreed to arm the Kurds in [what is a] hugely significant move for Syria.”

UPDATE (8/4/017): “Kurdish PM: Kurds Have ‘Completely Lost Hope’ in Iraq.“

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

America, Federalism, History, Racism, States' Rights

“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.

Donald Trump, Foreign Policy, Intelligence, Islam, Russia

“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?)
