🇺🇸 has serious domestic terrorism problem. Imagine any one of these shootings connected ISIS/AQ, we’d be talking airstrikes, FBI task forces, instead we get negligence under Trump - 1 dead, several injured Southern California Chabad synagogue nbcnews.com/news/us-news/f… via @nbcnews
Each of these attacks is treated like a one-off but they are not. They are part of a global extremist identity movement that has been building for a decade. Each attack inspires another, they network online, their manifestos guide an ideology #SanDiegoSynagogueShooting
Few years back on @Morning_Joe discussed “Cascading Terrorism” & ISIS, same phenomenon occurring white supremacy now, but it’s bottom-up rather than top-down like AQ/ISIS - Inspired & Networked msnbc.com/morning-joe/wa…

“But President Trump was a ‘great’ businessman” nytimes.com/interactive/20… via ⁦@nytimes⁩
$1.17 billion in losses (in 1980’s $’s)
President Trump’s lawyer says “don’t trust IRS”, a U.S. institution because the records aren’t electronically filed. Anyone want to wager that when his electronically filed records surface they’ll say don’t trust them because it’s electronic and not on paper?

.⁦@ForeignAffairs⁩ May/June 2019 issue is excellent an timely. Great articles asking the right questions about 🇺🇸 future foreign policy & national security. Challenges some of the status quo arguments I’ve been hearing. foreignaffairs.com/issues/2019/98…
.@dandrezner piece is a great overview of the disaster America is in. Really well written and like his note, “public opinion has ceased to act as a real constraint on decision makers” - quite timely. foreignaffairs.com/articles/2019-…
.@KoriSchake has an excellent essay on what to do. Excellent counter establishment thinking, “American Foreign policy elites persuaded themselves that the arc of history bends toward liberal democracy..in fact it bends whichever way people wrench it.” foreignaffairs.com/articles/2019-…

Until 2 years ago, Americans debated what was the right Foreign Policy & National Security Strategy. With Trump, the debate has changed to, “do we even have a Foreign Policy & National Security Strategy?”
Imagine being a strategic planner at Pentagon. You have no SecDef, Last year working on Mosul, Iraq, this year withdrawing/negotiating w/Taliban in Afghanistan, troops in Syria may withdraw but still ISIS, counter disinfo East Europe, POTUS talking invading N.Korea & Venezuela
You the look up to the news to find out President decided to create another branch of the military “Space Force” & later that the military exercises we’ve prepared with S.Korea might be cancelled.

@SenSanders Actually, none of the observers that went there, including the UN, said that the elections were fraudulent. It was the US who sent no observers and the Opposition who refused to participate who claimed that. As a matter of fact, the Opposition begged the UN not to send observers

@SenSanders What did many observers actually say about the elections in Venezuela?

1️⃣ Let’s see if @IlhanMN knows what she’s talking about,

This is a simple challenge:

What is moral compass? What is the definition?

In fact, #Leftists, #MBrotherhood use the same tactic where they sink people in floating terminologies.

#ThinkArabian
2️⃣ Before we’re dragged 2 deception, we should ask the essential questions that #Leftists & #MBrotherhood are not able 2 answer, so we can educate people to expose scams that leads 2 division through glamorous terms like peace, human rights, freedoms and justice.
#ThinkArabian
3️⃣ #Leftists & #MBrotherhood led by #Obama, #Hillary supported the largest wave of violence in ME, stretching Arabian Gulf 2 Atlantic, leaving millions of dead, wounded & displaced, yet they’re bragging about values ​​of humanity without a shred of shame.

Just for you all to keep in mind:

#Russia will never ask #Iran (and allies) to pull out of #Syria or out of the south of #Syria.

Russia wants to avoid further clashes between #Israel & #Iran in Syria and will try to do so to the benefit of the central government In #Damascus.
#Russia understands that #Iran was in #Syria 1st (2013 heavily) to help #Damascus to fight #ISIS, #AQ and their allies supported (finance, weapons, intel) by Arab, Israel and western countries to stop "regime change".

Russia came to join the already ongoing effort in 2015.
Unlike what many "pop-corn analysts", "Twitter or divan journalists/analysts" might say, #Assad - although very grateful for Moscow's intervention not only in Syria but also at the UN and various platforms - can and did disagree with #Russia in few battles north and south.

Asking the Syrians gov not to retake Syrian territory and advertising for a "terrible civilian toll" is a deja vu. A ridiculous anti-Syria report by @crisisgroup.
De-confliction never included #ISIS and #AQ.

Keeping the Calm in Southern Syria crisisgroup.org/middle-east-no…
Watch all the "sensitive" analysts now turning in direction of southern #Syria (never #Yemen of course): whenever the Syrian Army wants to recover the control of territories under #ISIS #AQ or their Jihadists allies, the same old story starts picking up.

Prepare yourself for south #Syria ops: "Chemical attacks", "last doctor", "Last Hospital", "hundred thousands under siege and without food for medicine".

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
