1)
Congressman Randy Fine of Florida was threatened this past week by Ambassador Al-Thani of Qatar. Congressman Fine has been active in Congress opposing Muslim terrorism and its sponsors.
Qatar threatened to mobilize their funds and Muslim Americans against Congressman Fine.

Interference in U.S. politics, threatening a congressman, and trying to undermine the American political system directly by a foreign government that has a history of support for terrorist organizations and terrorism worldwide."

Addendum in response to Qatar having an American air base on US soil.

@rlefraim Needs to be banned. My opinion, Qatar is not a real country. Set up by the British. 300,000 Qataris and 2.4 million guest workers, mostly from Pakistan and Bangladesh, and lots of money that they have spent on helping terrorists and the Muslim brotherhood.
B)
@rlefraim (the same thing to a degree) and spending money to help Muslim populations to undermine the societies in which they live. In my opinion, that makes Qatar a terrorist state that uses quasi-slave labor in the 21st century.
C)
@rlefraim The old British base, now a US base is the only thing that protects them from being a pariah state. Remember the 2008 terrorism in Mumbai. Pakistanis trained in Qatar and were paid by Qatar."

Others are saying that Israel should annex those areas.
But, frankly, both are wrong.
Under International law, the State of Israel is sovereign in all the lands west of the River Jordan. That claim was established at San Remo in 1920.

In 1949, when fighting stopped between the new State of Israel and its neighbors, Armistice Agreements were signed between Israel and Jordan and between Israel and Egypt, giving these Arab states custodial control over areas that they occupied at the end of fighting,

This is why Charlie Kirk was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously on his birthday. He understood our Constitution is the greatest political document ever written and believed we are the greatest country in the world. 1)
This Parsha starts with these words. “These are the Generations of Noach, Noach a Righteous (Just) man. 1)
That statement is instructive. What does a “Just man” do? What makes him just? What does he get out of it?

This is why President Trump could legally demolished the East Wing to build a ballroom. He is on very solid legal ground despite what the pearl clutching mainstream media is attempting to claim.
1)
A ballroom has historical precedent; it’s not a new idea. The plans for a White House ballroom go back more than a century. Historically, presidents and architects did envision such a space —

and that does give some historical and architectural context that could support the Trump team’s position.
There were several historical plans for a ballroom. Several proposed White House expansions (especially in the late 1800s) included a large ballroom or

Once again, plans for a White House ballroom are not new.
In 1803–1817, architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe, working under President Thomas Jefferson, created architectural drawings that included a "public audience chamber" & expansive "common drawing rooms" in the White House. 1)
They were the conceptual predecessors to a formal ballroom.
In 1890, First Lady Caroline Harrison proposed a major expansion of the White House, including two large wings (ells) and a vast greenhouse, which would have significantly increased event space.

Her plans included grand interior halls that functioned like ballroom.
President Trump and private donors will be paying for the ballroom and not the taxpayer. Large events at the White House, such as state dinners and

He said they were “trying to take over your community.”
