Thanks for your optimistic thoughts, PJ.
WRT pure speculation/reasoned thought: I would suspect that reasoned thought at times has its roots in speculation, which sparks those reasoned thoughts. The crazy “out there” material which has no basis in truth is often composed for click bait. There is other material which, while not yet accepted by the ‘mainstream’, is based on legitimate observations. Yes, it is due diligence to read, observe, and think, and so on this, we agree.
I know in my heart that DJT always tells the truth: open, honest truth. One time he told an interviewer that if anything, he is too honest for politics.
I am unconvinced about the agendas of those who currently advise him and some in cabinet positions: Sessions, Mathis, Tillerson, McMasters, Powell, Cohn. Yes, they work for DJT but IMO they are not to be trusted.
There are three cabinet members who I have total faith in: Wilbur Ross, Betsy DeVos, and Ben Carson. They are true patriots.
Where I differ in perspective is that I make the distinction between foreign and domestic affairs.
My foreign affairs stance is the same as G.Washington and Candidate Trump. Not isolationism, just not aggressive intervention. Our intelligence agencies appear to be splintered into those who engage in nefarious activity for global power, and those who genuinely love our country.
I believe there is more to N.Korea, China, Russia, Syria, Libya, S. Arabia, etc. than the perspective given to us. Clinton/Bush/Obama got us into this huge mess and now DJT has to clean it up. But, I’m still skeptical of all these wars, the true motives which underlay them, and who really benefits. I don’t think its our job to be the world’s “policeman”, to offer our troops up in sacrifice so that some of our leaders can personally enrich themselves (ex. Clinton).
Internationals like Soros interfere with our domestic affairs and promote discord, dissension, and revolution, and because of this, I support banning him from our country (as Putin did his country) and seizing his assets wherever we can. We also need to strip citizenship and deport ALL citizens who actively support communism. Years ago the Communist Party was illegal in our country.
The communists are a serious threat to the very foundations of our Republic and need to be accordingly removed, citizen and non-citizen alike.
Sorry for the rant!
Cernovich, Posobiec, and Roger Stone have all said Trump is being isolated. This is corroborated by MSM reports. This report comes from Axios, but Cernovich is well sourced and says that Axios sources are usually correct. Breitbart has reported on some of their articles too.
Apparently, Kelly has removed Breitbart, Daily Caller, etc. from Trump’s news packet and has restricted Trump’s Oval Office meetings to appointment only. John Bolton was forced to make a public appeal in a news article because he said he isn’t allowed to visit anymore now that Kelly is COS. Roger Stone said Keith Schiller, a conservative who was Trump’s longtime bodyguard and friend, was forced out because he was denied his usual access by Kelly, who required him to schedule an appointment and file a report if he wanted to see Trump. When he voiced objection, Kelly threatened to resign if Schiller was given the access he had before Kelly arrived. Schiller said he would go. Stone is the only one who has reported this, but he does know Trump and have sources from inside the White House. He’s quite critical of Kelly.
All (but 5 per Gorka) of the pro-Trump people have been forced out. McMaster purged the NSC of the Trump supporters. The pro-Trump people who applied through Greatagain.gov apparently didn’t get jobs - Jane Ruby speaks all about this.
Therefore, if Trump is surrounded by mostly RINOs/liberals, isn’t getting conservative news, sees himself getting constantly attacked in the MSM, and sees some positive coverage from the press from working with Democrats, it may influence his thinking on DACA.
Gorka predicts Trump will realize he doesn’t have enough pro-Trump people by Christmas and will do a staff change. I hope so as Jack Posobiec said about 80% of the staff at the White House are Bush people. Clear out the establishment and put in pro-Trump people.
I’m not attacking Trump. I don’t think he set out this way. Bannon said their mistake was working with the establishment - called it their “original sin”. The swamp wormed it’s way in.
Mustafa Javid Ali was not there, he has never worked for CAIR and doesn’t work for the NSC under McMaster. If he does exist, he works for the ODNI.
As far as the park service, it doesn’t surprise me since it’s chock full of Obama appointees. They are relatively harmless, so I’m sure they are close to the bottom of the swamp cleaning list.
That is his red line! He does know who got him to the most powerful position in the world.
Cernovich is full of his own inflated and actually imaginary self-importance and is a malignant character. Stone is a nut case. Anyone inventing this garbage or spreading it is worse than a fool.
The story of Trump being isolated/drugged/prevented from knowing anything is insanity, invented by evil people and spread by evil people, to dupe others. The idea that Kelly is evil and prevents Trump from knowing anything is so far beyond fake and psychotic I am really surprised anyone on FR believes this. IOW, Trump has totally changed since he got elected and is now a foolish, feeble, witless puppet of evil people, and he is helpless to fire them or escape from their clutches. In order for this to be true, all the Secret Service and Melania and everyone else who knows Trump and is loyal such as his sone, are really in on the evil plot too. Or Trump has become so witless that he can’t even make a phone call to anyone.
Good God, people. How can you believe this total crap.
McMaster purged the NSC of the Trump supporters.
McMaster cannot fire anyone in the NSC.
People are swallowing crap. I can’t believe it.
The comment was somewhat flippant, but if Ivanka encourages the president to do stupid stuff that turns off his supporters that could be the result.
Most of the stupid refugees-welcome, spare-the-DACA-kids type of stuff seems to come from her (amongst others such as her husband, Cohn, etc.).
Ivanka is his protege. She also works for him. Same for all his advisors and cabinet members.
Lots of concern trolls ruing that we don't have president Hillary because they see 3 % of their deepest wishes being unmet...
I am busy with Hurricane stuff, but also I am not in a position to comment. Sorry.
Ok. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Hope the cleanup is proceeding as well as could be expected. Will go over to the long Irma thread to see how everyone’s faring.
