    This administration is a conspiracy to make Bush Jr. and his team of ideologues look sane & sage by comparison

    The new NSC Chief of Staff Fred Fleitz believes the West is involved in a "clash of civilizations" w "sharia ideology." The "global jihad movement . . has the support of more than a small minority of the world's Muslims," he wrote in the National Review in 2015.

    If "care" equals caging 2 million people in 25-by-7 mile strip for decade+, blocking the critically ill from accessing care that might save their lives, firing on demonstrators, and occupying population for half-century, I shutter to think what carelessness looks like

    We commend the Israeli military for handling the so-called reverse flotilla with professionalism & compassion. They successfully de-escalated a dangerous situation. If Hamas cared for the welfare of its people as much as Israel does that would be progress.

    Today, 6 different rebel factions took over the HQs of Jabhat Ansar al-Islam in Breiqa without a single shot being fired. This once-powerful faction is now gone. The investigation is continuing, but torture in the rebel "justice" system at times produces false confessions.

    During her recent China visit, German Chancellor Merkel met openly with the wives of jailed human rights lawyers. Such meetings used to be routine for Western leaders in China. Now, they've sadly become exceptional.
