GOP Aides: Trump Nom for German Ambassador ‘Dead on Arrival’
Col. Douglas Macgregor under fire for anti-Semitic comments freebeacon.com/national-secur…@Kredo0
@Kredo0 "At issue is Macgregor’s claim that a group of powerful Jews are pushing the United States to support Israel unconditionally and in a manner that is detrimental to the United States"
"American Jewish groups are also raising questions about Macgregor's 2018 statement suggesting that Germany's atonement for the Holocaust is overkill"
"There's sort of a sick mentality that says that generations after generations must atone sins of what happened in 13 years of German history and ignore the other 1,500 years of Germany," Macgregor said in a 2018 interview

🚨EXCLUSIVE: When Witkoff, Kushner and Dmitriev met in Miama last month to craft a peace plan in Ukraine, they were also privately charting a path to bring Russia’s $2 trillion economy in from the cold—with American businesses first in line to beat European competitors
Dmitriev was pushing a plan for US companies to tap the roughly $300 billion of Russian assets, frozen in Europe, for US-Russian investment projects and a US-led reconstruction of Ukraine. US and Russian companies could join to exploit the vast mineral wealth in the Arctic
For the Kremlin, the Miami talks were the culmination of a strategy, hatched before Trump’s inauguration, to bypass the traditional U.S. national security apparatus and convince the administration to view Russia not as a military threat but as a land of bountiful opportunity
NEW TONIGHT: A white nationalist worked for the Trump campaign in an important position in Pennsylvania for five months — until Friday, when the campaign fired him after learning about his views @POLITICOMagpolitico.com/news/magazine/…
@POLITICOMag Luke Meyer, the Trump campaign’s 24-year-old regional field director for Western Pennsylvania, goes by the online name Alberto Barbarossa. On his podcast and others, and in posts online, Barbarossa regularly shares white nationalist views.
@POLITICOMag “Why can’t we make New York, for example, white again? Why can’t we clear out and reclaim Miami?” Barbarossa asked during a podcast. “I’m not saying we need to be 100 percent homogeneous. A return to 80 percent, 90 percent white would probably be the best we could hope for”
"I dream that one day, we shall have combatant commands. Northern Command will oversee the north of the continent. Southern Command, the south. And Central Command..."
"Will oversee the center of the continent?"
"If only it were that simple."
"Our Navy will have great and mighty destroyers. We shall call them DDs."
"What does that stand for?"
"Well, the first D will be for destroyer."
"What is the second D for?"
"We'll also have frigates..."
"Oh, and we shall have boats that travel underwater. They'll be called submarines. Large ones will be named after states. Smaller ones will be named after cities."
"And the Seawolf class?"
"We'll name the first one Seawolf. The next will be a state. And the third, a president"
