Mad Dog Disease

by DOV FISCHER

{spectator.org} ~ And now the Left media are consumed by Canine Spongiform Encephalopathy — Mad Dog Disease... It seems that everyone at CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the CBS-NBC-ABC cabal all madly love outgoing Defense Secretary James “Mad Dog” Mattis. The SPCA has come to D.C. It is fascinating that these liberals, who always denigrate the military and prefer to manipulate the armed forces into serving as their laboratory for transgender social experiments (Yes, Zer!), suddenly are singing paeans to Gen. Mattis. It is ridiculous. They have no shame. They adore a great patriotic general? Gimme a break. Six months ago, Secretary Mattis was being grilled on why we had not yet left Afghanistan. They want to close down ICE. Not the border — that may remain wide open — but they want to close down ICE because Immigration and Customs Enforcement is run by “Nazis.” They express empathy and sympatico for extremist elements like “Black Lives Matter” when the BLM crowd oppose the police and march in streets calling for police deaths. All manifestations of defending our safety and security, at home and abroad, are evil for them. All first responders are pounded with contumely. Even Gen. David Petraeus would get heckled when he set foot on a campus to lecture. But, now that President Trump has accepted Secretary Mattis’s resignation, oh how those Leftists love their Mad Dog! Listen to Don Lemon and Chris Matthews and Chris Cuomo as they pathetically yelp: Woof, woof! How every American liberal salivates Pavlovian merely upon hearing those sweet two syllables: Mad Dog! Baloney. Or, as they say in the Land of Canine: Grrrrrrrrr! If Trump Derangement Syndrome has evolved into a full-fledged malady impacting half the American population, it now seems to have spawned a new ailment: Mad Dog Disease. The basic symptoms are the inexplicable sorrow being expressed by anti-war activists, flower-bearing peaceniks, who incomprehensibly cannot sleep, eat, or otherwise function now that James “Mad Dog” Mattis no longer is our Secretary of Defense. They can’t handle it: Who will protect us, if not our sweet beloved Mad Dog? It is a thing...  https://spectator.org/mad-dog-disease/?utm_source=Daily+Afternoon+Email&utm_campaign=6e7ffd39b4-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_12_26_09_13&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_d65fc4e11e-6e7ffd39b4-104762253

Former ICE chief Tom Homan rips 

Nancy Pulosi for doubting border wall works

by S.A. Miller 

{washingtontimes.com} ~ Former acting ICE Director Tom Homan on Wednesday blasted House Democratic leader Nancy Pulosi for calling a border wall ineffective... and accusing President Trump of “fear mongering” with the illegal immigration issue. “Every place a wall or barrier has been built, it has resulted in decreased illegal immigration, decreased drug smuggling. One hundred percent of the time, it has proven effective,” Mr. Homan said on Fox News, where he is a contributor. “Look at the rest of the data on the border, where arrests of MS-13 gang this year are up 118 percent, the seizures of guns — for God’s sake — are up almost 200 percent. There’s your data. Look at it. You can see why we need a wall,” he said.  Mr. Homan, a veteran of the Border Patrol agent and investigator for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said Mr. Trump was “doing the right thing” in shutting down the government in a fight with Democrats over funding a wall or barrier on the border with Mexico. The partial shutdown began Saturday, affecting about 25 percent of the federal government, including the Department of Homeland Security. Mrs. Pulosi told USA Today that Mr. Trump was using the wall to “fear monger.”...  https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/26/tom-homan-former-ice-chief-rips-nancy-pelosi-doubt/?utm_source=Boomtrain&utm_medium=manual&utm_campaign=20180326&utm_term=newsalert&utm_content=newsalert&bt_ee=4Ihe9Lzie%2F5Symf6OS62XoiueNzeaeMkp431j%2BoaZfwX3whyiafFvLbcB1wnyxSo&bt_ts=1545839581126

Palestinians: The Real "Crimes"

by Bassam Tawil

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The Palestinian Authority (PA) leadership's favorite -- and probably most used -- word in recent weeks is "crime."... This is the word that PA President Mahmoud Abbas and his senior officials in Ramallah have endorsed as part of their anti-Israel campaign of incitement. Almost every statement that is issued by the Palestinian leadership concerning Israel includes the word "crime." For Abbas and his officials, almost everything Israel does or says is a "crime." In their world, building housing units for Jews in the West Bank or Jerusalem is a "crime." According to the logic of Abbas and his Palestinian officials, the killing of a Palestinian terrorist who murdered two of his Jewish co-workers and Israel's subsequent demolition of his house is a "crime." As far as Abbas and other Palestinians are concerned, Israel's security measures in response to terrorist attacks are also a "crime." In other words, they are saying that Israel does not have the right to conduct hot pursuit after terrorists hiding in Palestinian cities or refugee camps. Each time the Israeli army enters a Palestinian city to arrest a terrorist, the Palestinians cry "crime". Visits by Jews to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem have been upgraded by Abbas and his officials from an ordinary "crime" to, in the words of one official, a "hellish crime." They and other Palestinian factions, including, of course Hamas, have gone as far as condemning  the establishment of Israel as a "crime."...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/13472/palestinians-crimes

Israel fires at missile from Syria; IDF jets said 

to pound Damascus arms depots

by timesofisrael.com  

{timesofisrael.com} ~ Israel said Tuesday night it had deployed its air defenses against a missile shot from Syria as Damascus attempted to repel an alleged Israeli airstrike... against Hezbollah or Iranian targets near the capital. The Israel Defense Forces said there was no damage or injuries from the surface-to-air missile fired from Syria at Israel.“An IDF aerial defense system activated in response to an anti-aircraft missile launched from Syria,” the army said in a statement. It did not say where or even if the missile was successfully intercepted. Pictures shared on social media showed an air defense missile being fired near Hadera, a city some 100 kilometers (60 miles) south of the Syrian border where residents had earlier reported hearing a loud explosion...

Revealed: Khashoggi Was a Qatari Asset

by MEIRA SVIRSKY 

{clarionproject.org} ~ It has now emerged the Jamal Khashoggi, who was murdered at the hands of the Saudis, was a Qatari asset... most likely being paid and handled by Maggie Mitchell Salem, an executive at the Qatar Foundation International. In the days following the disappearance of Khashoggi, the Saudi native was billed as an unflinching proponent of democracy, a Washington Post journalist who – to his own peril – was exposing the terrible human rights abuses by the government of his native country. While this narrative was being spun by Saudi rivals Turkey and Qatar which we now know was working behind the scenes in the days after the murder, the scumbag/liar-nObama-era “echo chamber” was being revved up by them to undermine the stability of the Saudi government itself. That “echo chamber,” dubbed as such by scumbag/liar-nObama’s National Security Council Communications Director Ben Rhodes, was famously  exploited by Rhodes to support both scumbag/liar-nObama’s engagement with the Iranians culminating in the controversial Iran nuclear deal as well as scumbag/liar-nObama’s shift towards the Sunni Islamists including Egypt’s former President Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood and away from America’s former Sunni allies most prominently, Saudi Arabia. “When complete, the successful information operation would depict Khashoggi a heroic martyr to independent journalism and freedom, while Saudi Arabia would be the embodiment of evil and callousness,” writes the Security Studies Group (SSG), an Australian think tank, which adds, “It is clear now that, not only was Khashoggi transmogrified in death into a major front in Qatar’s war on its Gulf neighbors; in life, he was Qatar’s asset in that war, as well.”...

The Trump Administration's Extraordinary Midterm Record

by Mark Alexander:   This election is a referendum on Demo voter IQ and the MSM's "Hate Trump" chokehold on their opinion. Will they vote against peace and prosperity?

             Donald Trump’s now famous 2016 “Make America Great Again” promise was, and remains, much more than a campaign slogan. Even The New York Times conceded after President Trump’s first year in office, “A wave of optimism has swept over American business leaders, and it is beginning to translate into the sort of investment in new plants, equipment and factory upgrades that bolsters economic growth, spurs job creation — and may finally raise wages significantly.”
               That optimism, economic expansion, and job and wage growth have accelerated in the nine months since his first inaugural address — “Our New American Moment.” The indisputable results of Trump’s domestic policy successes, combined with his administration’s considerable foreign policy achievements, have ensured that all Americans are better off today than we were two years ago.
               But unfortunately, many Democrat voters are mired in leftist echo chambers and are so politically despondent that they believe this to be the most depressing era in our nation’s history. In a recent conversation with author Jon Meacham regarding his new book, “The Soul of America,” he noted that what is most wrong with the state of our national partisanship is that we are unable or unwilling to embrace what the other side is doing to make America great again. Despite Trump’s considerable character flawsand contentious communication style, the fact is, his administration has accomplished great things for ALL Americans.
               In the depths of the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt famously declared in his first inaugural address, “Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. … We face the arduous days that lie before us in the warm courage of the national unity.”
               But today’s Democrat Party “leaders,” in their insatiable and increasingly irrational quest to recover power, have nothing to offer their constituents but fear and disunity. Their midterm campaign theme is “HATE TRUMP.” The Leftmedia has ramped up its hate bait rhetoric, with CNN’s race-baiters leading the charge.
               But hating Trump is tantamount to hating half of America.  This midterm election has, as President Trump has repeatedly framed it, become a contest between jobs and mobs...  ~The Patriot Post
