And I quote (from President Trump): Quote Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here? The befuddlement will get worse once they grok the LBJ tie-in.

Records show psych professor who ‘diagnosed’ Trump is missing something important ... “We at the APA call for an end to psychiatrists providing professional opinions in the media about public figures whom they have not examined, whether it be on cable news appearances, books, or in social media,” the statement read, according to The Washington Examiner. “Arm-chair psychiatry or the use of psychiatry as a political tool is the misuse of psychiatry and is unacceptable and unethical,” the APA concluded. Lee and a colleague, however, responded to criticisms in a Wednesday POLITICO piece, in which they claim that “it’s perfectly OK to question the president’s mental state,” since they are “psychiatrists.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, I suffered from an excess of zeal. I’m just kidding— Joel B. Pollak (@joelpollak) January 11, 2018 LBJ only said stuff like the following (and you can see the sources here): "Making a speech on economics is a lot like pissing down your leg. It seems hot to you, but it never does to anyone else." "If the circumstances make it such that you can't fuck a man in the ass, then just peckerslap him. Better to let him know who's in charge than to let him get the keys to the car." "Ford's economics are the worst thing that's happened to this country since pantyhose ruined finger-fucking." "Fuck your parliament and your constitution. America is an elephant. Cyprus is a flea. Greece is a flea. If these two fleas continue itching the elephant, they may just get whacked good..." There's a lot of ugly stuff LBJ said. But, by God, he's not on record on an Internet search saying "shithole." I wonder if his delicate sensibilities were such that he never heard of that word before. LBJ was a hoot. If we start digging deeper than just Wikiquote, God knows what we fill find. He used to hold meetings in his presidential bathroom while he was taking a dump, fer goddsake... Oh... And there's this... Lots of people have quoted LBJ referring many times to the Civil Rights Act as the "nigger bill." The sources of a few are given at Wikiquote. At least he didn't call it the "shithole bill." At least not on record that I can find. So there's that. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The leftwing racist media is going crazy, ironically calling President Trump a racist. They are so blinded by their bigotry and bullying, they can't think straight. When President Trump says "shithole countries" as compared to Norway (a recent guest in Washington), all they see is race. They don't see any other universal parameter, like, say, money. The shithole countries don't have wealth. Norway does. Duh... President Trump is motivated by money. All you have to do is look at his entire production of himself over his lifetime. Race plays no role. He has built and done business everywhere there is money irrespective of race. The bigoted mainstream media is all about their own racism. All you have to do is listen to them. That's all they talk about. They are despicable. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you have to do is listen to them. That's all they talk about. They are despicable. Oddly enough, Rush Limbaugh agrees with me. Look what he said today about the racists in the media after I wrote that post above. And he expanded it further: Amid Phony Outrage, the President Honors Dr. King From the transcript (my bold): Quote REPORTER: Mr. President, will you give an apology for the statement yesterday? REPORTER: Mr. President, were you (bleep) countries? REPORTER: Mr. President, (unintelligible) are you a racist? REPORTER: Mr. President, can you respond to these serious questions about the statement, sir? REPORTER: Mr. President, are you a racist? RUSH: “Mr. President! Mr. President! Are you a racist, Mr. President? Do you want to apologize for that word, Mr. President? Mr. President!” Meanwhile, Trump and the assembled honorees — black civil rights leaders, Ben Carson, Mike Pence, members of the King family — they’re hugging each other. They are congratulating each other. Trump signs proclamation while the media’s shouting these questions: surreal. It was a giant disconnect, because the media… I guarantee you, the media was thinking that all of those African-Americans in that meeting should have boycotted and shouldn’t even gone out there. And if they did go out there they should have refused to participate and they should have said, “Trump you’re a racist and you’re a pig and you’re not gonna bring us into your ceremony and give you any kind of credence!” But that didn’t happen. The African-Americans eagerly worked with the president, participated in this proclamation ceremony. The Drive-Bys were forced to point out… I shouldn’t say forced. The Drive-Bys could not wait to point out that all the African-Americans in the room were Republican. And so what did that mean? “Well, they’re just tokens, obviously! Trump brought in a bunch of tokens. Those weren’t real African-Americans. Those weren’t real blacks. Those were just a bunch of tokens.” That’s what they implied by saying that. So who is it that the real racists are? Who is it that literally owns so much of the bigotry that we are faced with every day? It’s right there smack-dab in our media.

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Everybody is starting to see how President Trump leads the mainstream media around by the nose with a ring in it. Here's an article by Thomas Lifson at American Thinker: Trump has his enemies dancing to his tune with 's-hole countries' comments From the article: Quote Trump has forced everyone whom he outraged to repeat the words he wants to sink in with the public. The entire chattering class is now repeating that Haiti and some African countries and El Salvador and other TPS-abusers (changing a visa explicitly labeled as "temporary" into a permanent one) are bleep-holes. . . . Trump is thus forcing the country to have a conversation about a topic that political correctness forbids: which countries, and which cultures, we want more of in the United States. In this era, immigrants tend to maintain their old country culture because they have full access to the media from old countries (including TV channels in their native languages), because our ballots are often printed on scores of languages in big cities, and because ethnic enclaves exist where life can be led in the old country culture. I wrote the following elsewhere, but here is good, too. Some people are finally beginning to get President Trump. I've never seen anyone move the Overton Window in society as effectively as he does. He doesn't just move it a notch over time, either. He jerks it two or three notches in one whack. He keeps doing that over and over... In fact, that's how he has already changed the discourse in today's society from one world government globalism and accepting an elite class to preside over the decline of America to Make America Great Again. Rule of persuasion for future reference: When enemies and control freaks get outraged, they repeat the same thing over and over and over...

And things are looking better for the next few years . . . unless Kim Jung Kwackers goes totally insane. I am reading a book about WWII called Munich, and Nazi Germany sounds a lot like North Korea. Let’s keep the ball rolling for our President. Give the ball a kick when it comes your way. As that old typing exercise said, “Now is the time to come to come to the aid of your party.” I guess the midterm elections are coming up and I may contribute some to that and then more in 2020. Peter From the Tracinski letter . . . What Went Right? I mentioned at the end of the year that the most under-covered story of 2017 (including by me) was the defeat of the Islamic State. I've been looking for good information to figure out what went right, and The Federalist's John Daniel Davidson just presented a summary of what we learned from a recent congressional hearing on ISIS. The whole thing is worth looking at, but here's the central takeaway. "The Obama-era policy required field commanders to get clearance from the National Security Council (NSC) before firing on targets, which was time-consuming and meant that many such 'targets of opportunity' were lost, since the window for striking was sometimes a matter of seconds. The result was that American forces under Obama didn't take out many ISIS leaders and soldiers they otherwise could have. "The Trump administration relaxed these ROE [rules of engagement] and authorized battlefield commanders to make decisions on the ground, in real time, without asking permission from the Department of Defense or NSC. This freed them up to make the kind of nimble decisions necessary to fight an evolving enemy. "Phillip Lohaus of the American Enterprise Institute echoed these points, noting that while there is always some friction between any White House and subordinate agencies, the Obama administration amplified this friction with an 'emphasis on caution and an aversion to risk, an inefficient target nominations process, and, above all, the involvement of the National Security Council--and often the President himself--in day-to-day operational and tactical decision-making.' "That didn't just mean missed drone strikes, said Lohaus, but also an increase in 'the weight of political considerations in decisions affecting national security.' The Trump administration did away with all that." The fact that Trump is relying on generals as his top advisors--and is not himself the sort of person who likes to get into the day-to-day details of management--may have something to do with this. end quote From Conservative Headquarters: There was one very important “this changes everything” moment in President Trump’s State of the Union message that no one is talking about – the President’s announcement that he has signed an Executive Order on Protecting America Through Lawful Detention of Terrorists. From the beginning of the Bush administration’s “global war on terror” American presidents have failed to grasp that Islamist terrorism is a strategy, not an ideology, and that the terrorists are not criminals, they are illegal combatants in a war that Islam has declared on the West, and America in particular. Treating these illegal combatants as mere criminals was a major fallacy of the Obama administration and acceding to Democrat demands that they be offered infinitely extended due process rights and other elements of American constitutional protects was a major error of the Bush administration. President Trump’s Executive Order goes a long way toward rectifying those errors. The Executive Order begins with a set of findings that are fundamental to differentiating the Trump strategy on the battlefield vs. the Obama and Bush strategies on the battlefield: Section 1. Findings. (a) Consistent with long-standing law of war principles and applicable law, the United States may detain certain persons captured in connection with an armed conflict for the duration of the conflict. (b) Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) and other authorities authorized the United States to detain certain persons who were a part of or substantially supported al-Qa’ida, the Taliban, or associated forces engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners. Today, the United States remains engaged in an armed conflict with al‑Qa’ida, the Taliban, and associated forces, including with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. (c) The detention operations at the U.S. Naval Station Guantánamo Bay are legal, safe, humane, and conducted consistent with United States and international law. (d) Those operations are continuing given that a number of the remaining individuals at the detention facility are being prosecuted in military commissions, while others must be detained to protect against continuing, significant threats to the security of the United States, as determined by periodic reviews. (e) Given that some of the current detainee population represent the most difficult and dangerous cases from among those historically detained at the facility, there is significant reason for concern regarding their reengagement in hostilities should they have the opportunity. After the Findings section, the second section of the order “Status of Detention Facilities at U.S. Naval Station Guantánamo Bay” revokes Section 3 of Obama’s Executive Order 13492 of January 22, 2009 ordering the closure of the detention facilities at U.S. Naval Station Guantánamo Bay. In one brief paragraph President Trump dismantled one of the major follies of the Obama era that returned dozens of Muslim terrorists back to the battlefield. In Section 2 (c) of the order President Trump made it clear that not only will Guantánamo Bay continue to house its existing population of detainees, but that the United States may transport additional detainees there “when lawful and necessary to protect the Nation.” In other words, Gitmo is open for business and expects to receive more unlawful combatants. (You can read the entire Executive Order through this link [15].) Saul Montes-Bradley, longtime student of Islamic National Socialism and author of Gander: Terrorism, Incompetence, and the Rise of Islamic National Socialism [16], described the impact of President Trump’s Executive Order this way: Yesterday’s EO put things back in their rightful place. Jihadists are not common criminals to be Mirandized and hauled to your local court. They are ENEMY COMBATANTS to be held at a duly appointed prison camp FOR THE DURATION OF THE CONFLICT. Those captured in the “Field of Fight” are entitled to received treatment as laid out in the Geneva Conventions, not in criminal courts. I suggest you familiarize yourselves with them. Especially, in this case, the 3rd Convention, as amended in 1949 [17]. Note that “irregular combatants” MUST meet certain requirements to be considered prisoners of war (Art. IV), especially: “be commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates; to have a fixed distinctive emblem recognizable at a distance; to carry arms openly; and to conduct their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war." Good luck with that one! So much for those who conform to Article IV to be considered “prisoners of war.” But what happens when they do not, i.e. a combatant dressed as a civilian carrying murderous acts among the civilian population?

Jon Letendre Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 GW Bush and Obama did nothing to punish any bankers following the 2007 crisis because they are from the same gang as the bankers. Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, a huge Citibank shareholder who is intimately connected with the Bush family, played an outsized role choosing Obama’s cabinet. Obama is their puppet. Trump seized the prince’s assets, because he is a human trafficker. Trump is part of a very big team, for sure, but it isn’t that filthy gang and he is no one’s puppet. So here was Trump almost two months ago: Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Fines and penalties against Wells Fargo Bank for their bad acts against their customers and others will not be dropped, as has incorrectly been reported, but will be pursued and, if anything, substantially increased. I will cut Regs but make penalties severe when caught cheating! 8:18 AM · Dec 8, 2017 Today the Fed announced they are: -imposing the fines and penalties -forcing the replacement of four board members -disallowing growth of assets over end-of-2017 level until Trump is satisfied they have really changed See the difference?

Jon, There's going to be an even bigger example of this same process coming down the pike. It's going to be huuuuuuuge... It's involves the FISA court memo and President Trump declassifying it with no redactions--which, in my view, is the appetizer, not the meal. Here's the opinion of the President: Notice that he said, "What's going on in this country..." not "What's going on with this FISA warrant." This ties in with a comment I keep seeing pop up sporadically and at random. Oddly enough, at this stage (from what I have seen so far), it always appears like an afterthought or a throwaway comment. (Talk about foreshadowing!) Let me use a vernacular metaphor for clarity. The comment goes something like this (without the metaphor ): If they screwed the pooch for this one FISA warrant (and renewals), how many other FISA warrants are out there where they screwed the pooch? In other words, was this legally flawed FISA warrant a fluke or a habit? It seems like President Trump wants to err on the side of transparency on this issue. So I have a feeling high-ranking folks in the former administration of President Obama--and maybe even President Bush--are not sleeping well these days. I doubt Hillary Clinton is sleeping OK without booze. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
