Whitewashing the West's Disastrous War in Libya | The American Conservative theamericanconservative.com/articles/white…
Whatever the Obama administration’s motives and goals in launching the military intervention that ousted Gaddafi, the results have been indisputably catastrophic.
Yet Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and key advisers such as Susan Rice and Samantha Power still refuse to acknowledge their blunders or apologize to the suffering Libyan people.
It is time for the media to stop aiding and abetting such an evasion of responsibility. Stories about the current turmoil in Libya need to provide a clear picture of the shameful historical context.

Liz Warren Is Finished After Her HUMILIATING Loss in Massachusetts pjmedia.com/election/liz-w… #Election2020 via @pjmedia_com
The litany of excuses for Warren’s failure will be tedious, of course. We will be lectured for weeks, if not months, that America still isn’t ready for a woman president, blah, blah. Warren is so prone to lying that she may even come up with a few that Hillary never thought of.
I will be very glad, however, that I soon won’t have to listen to Warren’s psychotic tales of a dark America that doesn’t exist.

I like it here.

During the 1918-1919 flu pandemic, more people died from the flu than in WWI. The war was over in 1919, and although the ravages of the flu had taken a toll, the stock market didn’t crash.
Someone looking only at a chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average during the latter part of that decade would never guess that those years encompassed the worst epidemic in recorded history, an epidemic far worse than the Covid-19 virus.
According to a Stanford University Web site, a fifth of the world’s population was infected in that epidemic, and an estimated 20 to 40 million people died of it.

Politicians Say And Do The Darnedest Things newswithviews.com/politicians-sa…
At this point, our racial divide equals the Grand Canyon. Our national debt equals the height of Mt. Everest. We face two opposing political camps that refuse to work together for the good of the American people.
We’ve got parallel societies and ethnic groups plotting against our own country in the Muslim Brotherhood and La Rasa. Our politicians refuse to deal with reality or realistic solutions. Bernie, Liz and Joe won’t save America or any of us.

Qassem Soleimani was killed in an air strike by the #US in #Baghdad. Equivalent to Jiang Zemin in #China, Soleimani was a dominant figure in the military, politics and oil industry of #Iran. Most of his family reside in #HongKong, #Shanghai and #Beijing.
#China’s Bank of Kunlun was established by Soleimani family in collaboration with the #CCP. The actual #Chinese main shareholders are Jiang Zemin, Wang Qishan, Meng Jianzhu (and Zhou Yongkang before jailed). Its asset has increased from $17 billion to $28 billion.
#Bank of Kunlun is a tool of #Iran’s Soleimani, Khamenei and the #CCP kleptocrats to launder money and evade the #US sanctions @robert_spalding @MischaEDM @WarrenPlatts @geoff_p_wade @DanRDimicco @Jkylebass @BenKTallmadge @IndoPac_Info @BoycottHegemony

1. Today, the head of the Air Force's acquisition said consolidation in defense contractors is so extreme it's a national security concern. There is just no longer much competition. reuters.com/article/us-usa…
2. Meanwhile, the WSJ reported that national security officials under the Obama administration accidentally allowed chipmaker AMD to move 'crown jewel' technology to the increasingly totalitarian Chinese government. wsj.com/articles/u-s-t…
3. What is happening now is the result of a breakdown of public control of our defense industrial base, and more broadly, our manufacturing base. I interviewed a several small manufacturers to find out what happened. It's not pretty. theamericanconservative.com/articles/ameri…

US who authorized you to build 17 military bases in Syria (North Manbij, Ayn Dadat, Ushariyah, Sabt, Kobani, Kharab Hisaq, Ayn Issa, Tal Tamar, Qulayb Mountain, Tal Baydar, Rmeilan, Shaddadi, Tabqa Airport, Omar oilfields, Tanak oilfields, Tanaf, Zaqaf)?

How is this possible? US has created, trained, armed, funded terrorists in Syria & on top of that, after all, US still has the luxury of building 17 US military bases in Syria. US is the greatest threat to world peace. US is in violation of international law. US terrorist regime!
Damn US war criminals
Is it more important that gun companies continue to sell guns & your mercenaries get paid with damn dollars for them to kill people? @realDonaldTrump @statedeptspox
US mercenaries your money is stained with the blood of innocents

Just a reminder that we're spending BILLIONS to replace the Taliban with a group that openly keeps young boys as sex slaves, and Senators Corker and Menendez have blocked efforts to make funding for these people contingent upon stopping the practice.

Multiple US soldiers stationed in Afghanistan have reported being ordered to look the other way. Special Forces Capt. Dan Quinn beat up an Afghan commander for keeping an approximately 10-year-old boy chained to his bed as a sex slave and was relieved of command as a result.
Army Green Beret Sgt. First Class Charles Martland was nearly discharged for participating in the beating up of this same child-raping commander, who himself had severely beaten the mother of his slave when she tried to rescue him.

OBAMA should be more mindful when accusing Trump about the press & leaks:

1. It is common knowledge among journalists that the #Obama administration has prosecuted more leakers under the 1917 Espionage Act than all former presidents combined. But few admit this truth.
2. The Committee to Protect Journalists released its first comprehensive report on US press freedom.

They discovered that the Obama administration’s policies have undermined the role of the press in three fundamental ways.
3. First, the government’s war on leaks has not only intimidated whistleblowers, it has ensnared journalists.
