Geriatric Twitter Battle
by Nate Jackson: What happens when you have two septuagenarians duking it out on Twitter? Hilarity, that’s what. First, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) demanded that President Donald Trump resign from office over the sexual harassment allegations Democrats plan to ramp back up. Naturally, Trump not only isn’t going to have some sort of epiphany and follow her advice, he’s going to hit back twice as hard.
by Nate Jackson: What happens when you have two septuagenarians duking it out on Twitter? Hilarity, that’s what. First, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) demanded that President Donald Trump resign from office over the sexual harassment allegations Democrats plan to ramp back up. Naturally, Trump not only isn’t going to have some sort of epiphany and follow her advice, he’s going to hit back twice as hard. “Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck clown-Schumer and someone who would come to my office ‘begging’ for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump,” he tweeted. In the current climate of sexual misconduct allegations — even more so because that’s why Gillibrand called for his resignation — it was predictable that people would make sexual inferences from Trump’s tweet. Perhaps he didn’t mean it that way, but most likely he did.
But that’s not even the amusing part. No, that came when Sen. Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” dinky-Warren rushed to Gillibrand’s defense. “Are you really trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame @SenGillibrand?” she tweeted to Trump. Uh, with friends like these… The literal definition of “slut-shaming” is to “[s]tigmatize (a woman) for engaging in behavior judged to be promiscuous or sexually provocative.” In other words, dinky-Warren “defended” Gillibrand by essentially conceding that she’s guilty of the very behavior Trump insinuated.
Maybe instead of trying to be so “hip,” dinky-Warren should stick to claims of Native American ancestry.

DOJ, FBI Russian Mob Task Force
Created Dossier To Get Rid Of Trump
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Dick Morris is often on the money but in this instance he seems to have suffered from a bout of sudden-onset naiveté... He’s advancing as fact what may actually be the absurd narrative that the criminal Democrats who are still engaged in sedition against the United States and our President plan to use in a contrived “innocent patriots” defense. Morris says the “conventional wisdom,” another term for the buffet plates of globalist tripe that are being fed to us by multiple outlets, is “that these guys wrote the dossier and they brought it to the FBI, which scrutinized it and tried to verify it or point out its shortcomings is totally untrue.” He says, “The fact of the matter is that starting before 2010 there was a close grouping of people, who included the top leadership of DOJ, the FBI, the authors of the dossier and later they brought in their buddies in the liar-Clinton campaign into it.”... https://rickwells.us/morris-doj-fbi-russian-mob-trump/.

Senate, House reach agreement on tax bill
by Joseph Lawler
Senate and House negotiators reached a deal Wednesday to compromise on the differences between their tax bills... Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch said. The Utah senator announced that a deal had been struck hours before the conference committee tasked with hammering out the joint bill was set to meet for its first and only public meeting. Details of the deal were not immediately available. Negotiators had to work out differences between the Senate- and House-passed bills on tax provisions for non-corporate businesses, international taxation, repealing liar-nObamacare's individual mandate and much more. Conference committee Chairman Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas said Wednesday morning that his goal was to produce a conference report by the end of the week, so that both chambers could vote on final passage next week... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/senate-house-reach-agreement-on-tax-bill/article/2643369?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert%20-%2012/13/17&utm_medium=email.

O’Reilly Claims Bombshell
Tape Exists of Trump Accuser
by Jonathan Pincus
{westernjournalism.com} ~ On a radio show Monday, former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly came to the defense of President Donald Trump... amid accusations that the president engaged in sexual misconduct with multiple women. O’Reilly told Glenn Beck, host of “The Glenn Beck Program,” that there would be a “tremendous assault” coming for Trump in the near future as a last ditch effort by Democrat’s to derail his potential re-election in 2020. A tape exists, according to O’Reilly, that if made public would expose a supposed plot to dethrone the president by use of falsified sexual misconduct allegations... https://www.westernjournalism.com/oreilly-tape-exists-woman-offered-hundreds-thousands-make-false-claims-trump/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=patriotupdate&utm_campaign=dailyam&utm_content=libertyalliance.
Memo to Jared Kushner
{townhall.com} ~ President Trump's son-in-law and designated Middle East peace envoy, Jared Kushner, told the Brookings Institution's Saban Forum last weekend that a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians is key to solving larger goals, such as stopping Iranian aggression and Islamic extremism.
If he believes that, he has fallen into the trap numerous and more seasoned diplomats have experienced.
The most obvious impediment to peace in the region is a religious one. A visceral hatred of Jews is promoted in Palestinian media and many mosques and schools throughout the region. The destruction of Israel and elimination of Jews from land that has been historically and legitimately theirs for thousands of years is their goal. Radical Islamists believe Allah has ordered it. Why would they risk perdition by violating his command?
Duplicity and deception are the coin of the realm in the Middle East. It is why many Palestinian leaders say one thing to the West and another to their own people.
Here is one of many examples, which contradicts what Palestinian leaders say to Western ears. In a 2013 interview on Syrian TV, Abbas Zaki, a close associate of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said the Palestinian Authority would not enter into any peace agreement with Israel unless it includes Israel's withdrawal to indefensible 1967 borders. Zaki stated: "Even the most extreme among us, Hamas, or the fighting forces, want a state within the '67 borders. Afterward, we will have something to say, because the inspiring idea cannot be achieved all at once. Rather in stages."
In other words, incremental steps toward a shared goal: the elimination of the Jewish state, which Iranian mullahs have described as a "cancer" in the Middle East.
Does this sound like the language of people who wish to live in a peaceful state adjacent to Israel? A person not deceived by the mirage of a Middle East peace agreement should consider the numerous and unreciprocated concessions Israel has already made to advance the "peace process," which seems more like a war process from the Arab and Palestinian perspective.
This is all about increasing pressure on Israel to "do more," as if Israel were the one advocating genocide. Many Palestinian and Arab leaders hate Israel and Jews not for what they do or don't do, but because they exist. If Mr. Kushner believes he can be a peace broker without understanding and accepting this basic fact, he is bound to end up like all the others who have inserted themselves into the region.
What is the answer, if there is one?
Writing in the Israeli publication, Al-Monitor, following President Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia in May, columnist Akia Eldar says: "...an American president may be able to bring the sides to the table, if he is lucky, but they will only eat what is on it if they are dying of hunger. He would have realized that the hunger for peace only comes after the thirst for blood is quenched."
Isn't that what happened when Egyptian President Anwar Sadat decided enough blood had been spilled and made peace with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin?
As unlikely as it might seem, perhaps the road to settlement and stability might go through Riyadh. While Saudi Arabia has been a principal exporter of an extremist view of Islam through its media, funding mosques in Western countries and textbooks for school children that promote anti-Semitism, Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has said he wants a return to a more "moderate Islam" that allows for peaceful co-existence with other religions and the world.
One eagerly awaits such a transforming message within Islam, but will other Islamic countries who also hate Jews and Israel accept this move toward peaceful co-existence when, and if, it comes?
Does Jared Kushner fully understand what he has gotten himself into?
