Former Presidential Candidate Nikki Haley dropped out of the race on March 6th, leaving President Biden and former President Trump as the likely candidates for the Democratic and Republican party. As soon as Ambassador Haley suspended her campaign, everyone wanted to know where her voters would turn to. She was the independent favorite and now they're left choosing between extremes. Alex Gangitano joins the show to tell us about her coverage of President Biden's play for those voters.

Former President Trump won every state except for Vermont on Super Tuesday, solidifying his momentum and presumptive nominee status heading towards the 2024 Republican National Convention. The results have left many pundits questioning whether former U.N. Ambassador Haley will remain in the GOP race. Fox News Radio political analyst Josh Kraushaar and Fox News Audio Washington D.C. Correspondent Jared Halpern join the Rundown to give their analysis of former President Trump's decisive victory on Tuesday, what's next for former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, and what President Biden must do to persuade voters ahead of a likely Trump-Biden rematch in 2024. Last year, Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley was sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing four classmates in 2021. In a first-of-its-kind case, a jury will decide if both parents are at fault. His mother, Jennifer Crumbley, was convicted last month and could face up to fifteen years in prison. Her husband, James Crumbley, goes on trial for manslaughter this week. FOX News contributor and George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley joins to discuss how each parent's case differs and the precedent this sets for future cases.

President Biden and former President Trump will romp tomorrow but there's some hope for Ambassador Haley coming off her first win in the D.C. primary yesterday. Hugh covers the news and talks with Salena Zito, Bethany Mandel, and former Congressman John Campbell as he opens up what is likely to be the last significant day in voting news until November. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today is Michigan's primary, where former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley is looking to win a share of delegates, while former President Trump is hoping to build on his already strong lead. The former President continues to call for Haley to drop out of the race after his win in the South Carolina primary, Haley's home state. Director of the FOX News Decision Desk, Arnon Mishkin, joins the Rundown to discuss the ongoing race for the White House, what he is seeing ahead of the Michigan primary election, and shares his thoughts on why Ambassador Haley has not dropped out of the race. Florida lawmakers passed a bill last week that would restrict young people's social media access, which would effectively prohibit those under 16 from accessing Instagram or TikTok. The Supreme Court debated this law on Monday, signaling that some aspects of the bill are unconstitutional. Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, Paul Renner, is leading the charge to pass measure HB 1 to ensure Florida protects its children against what he warns are the “harmful and addictive” effects of social media. On the podcast, he explains what protections the bill affords, the negative consequences social media is having on children's mental and physical health, and how the Florida House is balancing this measure with also protecting parents' rights.

Ambassador Haley joined Hugh this morning to discuss the obvious: the campaign. They spent most of the time, however, on Iran's apparent decision to seek a confrontation with the United States and the frailty of President Biden.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hugh talks about former President Trump's appearance with Sean Hannity and Ambassador Haley's CNN Townhall along with the realities of the polling. It is very difficult to see how any objective analyst doesn't conclude Donald Trump is the prohibitive favorite to be the GOP nominee. Ben Domenech and Hugh discuss this reality as well as why the GOP must define 900 miles of Border Wall as a victory in the Supplemental negotiations and get that win or walk away.

 Bill O'Reilly, author of Killing the Witches, The Horror of Salem talks to Sean about the speed at which the world is heading towards World War 3, had this to say about Mike Pence leaving the race:   With Mike Pence waving goodbye to the presidential sweepstakes, only four Republicans remain credible in challenging Donald Trump for the Republican nomination. Let's analyze one by one. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has the resume but lacks personal charisma and media awareness. He is running Florida well, as evidenced by the multitudes of people moving there. At first, DeSantis seemed viable, but that has faded. He lacks the ability to engage folks on television, a vital campaign necessity. Former South Carolina Governor and Ambassador to the UN Nicki Haley does have a whiff of momentum because she's articulate and knowledgeable. No question. But she's also a bit imperious (word of the day) and not an avid culture warrior, imperative for the Republican nominee. Ambassador Haley would make a good VP selection. Vivek Ramaswamy. Fading. Smart. Maybe someday. Chris Christie. Running on the "nobody hates Trump more than me" platform. Not his time. It will never be his time. So, Donald Trump really has no competition at this point. But Trump being Trump, anything could happen on Friday. Or Saturday. Or any date, hour, or minute. It's who he is.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another powerful line-up on CURE America this week with footage from the Center for Urban Renewal and Education's annual National Policy Summit that we held in Washington D.C.  with pastors from all over the country. This week we highlight the remarks of former Ambassador to the United Nations and former Governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, and bring you the important panel discussion on homelessness from a previous summit.  Ambassador Haley's remarkable life as the daughter of an immigrant is only surpassed by her amazing career in public life. She shares many of her experiences with our pastors and especially the heart-wrenching story of the aftermath of the horrific shooting in a Charleston church where nine African Americans were killed during a Bible study. Gov. Haley served as governor and brought together faith leaders, community leaders and legislators to help the community come together in forgiveness and healing after this racist act. While homelessness becomes a serious issue in many cities across the nation, we brought together some of the country's top policy leaders to explain why this is happening and offer solutions to this growing problem. Dr. Robert Marbut, former Executive Director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness; Michele Steeb, Senior Fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation; Frank Moncher, Executive Director of Catholic Charities in Arlington, VA; and Michael Tanner, Senior Fellow at the CATO Institute lead this important discussion. The entire summit will be posted to our website www.curepolicy.org, in the next few weeks. Join us again next week for the final in this series from CURE's National Policy Summit.

And yes, I do speaking engagements.]I don't remember the first time I saw Vivek Ramaswamy in one of the countless cable news hits he's done since the announcement of his presidential campaign just over six months ago, but I remember the first time he held my attention. It wasn't a cable news hit. It was some random video in my timeline.Mr. Ramaswamy was at a campaign event six weeks ago in Ottumwa, Iowa, a town of 25,000 that has seen five presidential visits, most recently with then-Pres. Obama in 2010. This small town hall was hosted by the local GOP. He was in the middle of a longer answer about “firing the managerial class of the Pentagon” over the accusation against top military leadership of engaging in “wokism” and so on—you've likely heard some version of these thoughts from one of the countless rightwing provocateurs who parrot it—when suddenly, he was interrupted by a shouting protestor.The protestor—whose name I ain't gonna put here in order to protect her privacy—was yelling at Mr. Ramaswamy: “Protect women! I am not having someone else's kid if they rape me!”He immediately (and curiously) said “Amen!” and attempted to pivot in some related direction (the audio is a bit muffled) when she responded: “Republicans are raping people! President Trump is a rapist!”There were overlapping interruptions until she was swarmed by campaign staff and volunteers, who motioned for her to leave, which she started to do for about 15 yards, when Mr. Ramaswamy asked for her to come back and speak. So, she walked back up, to in front of the stage, and did speak.She talked about abortion rights and the absolute terror of living in a country in which rape can be a death sentence because of unnecessary and clownish (my words) restrictions on abortion care.Mr. Ramaswamy waited for to say her piece and asked for her name and if she said she's a mother (yes, she said, and her kids are successful) and he replied: “I want to say you're doing one of the most important things...a mother raising more children in this world. Even if we have our disagreements, I want to say thank you for that. So thank you.”She started to walk back out—probably because this was all a bit overwhelming, she later told an NBC reporter she had no plans to interrupt or protest the event—when Mr. Ramaswamy then said this:“And part of what it means to live in this country is we have free speech, we get to speak our minds openly, even if we all don't agree on it. So, let's actually applaud her for the courage, coming into a room and asking a question even though we don't agree on everything, OK?”She nodded to acknowledge what he said, the audience applauded her as she was walking out, and that was it. Mr. Ramaswamy supported Donald Trump in the 2020 election and has steadfastly defended him in the public square against his various indictments and other legal controversies in recent months. He is absolutely a Trump supporter, but what he did at that event was not a very Trumpian move.His political idol—the inspiration for his entry into politics—would not have asked the woman to come back and speak her mind. He would have done some combination of talking over her, mocking her, and exploring sidebar topics that were halfway between adjacent to the discussion-at-hand and seemingly random.We all know this. But Mr. Ramaswamy invited her back and gave her the space to speak and then deftly defused the tension in the venue with praise for her, and by the time she was walking out of that event, he was looking pretty good to a lot of people. Was it sincere? Probably not. Was it very contrived retail politics? Yeah. But honestly, I don't think it really matters. I think debating his intentions in that moment is worthless, knowing that the folks who would debate something like that were not his intended audience. At no point did he admit that he or Trump are wrong. He just expressed a basic show of empathy on shared values that sounded really classy to his intended audience. It wasn't to convince the likes of me, I know that, because I am not who he has in mind in his broad messaging.He threaded the needle in that moment for Trump supporters, however cynically, in such a way that he got credit for both refusing to budge on his views and coming across as a decent man, the latter of which Trump has struggled to do most (all?) of his life, even when he's actually trying.So, now, Trump supporters can show this video to others and say: See? We're decent folks who respect each other in disagreement. It's the left who shows up to interrupt a conversation and stir up trouble.Again, I need to emphasize that whether or not this makes anti-Trump folks (like myself) feel anger or frustration or annoyance is completely besides the point because once again: we are not the intended audience for Mr. Ramaswamy's campaign comms strategy.Mr. Ramaswamy has one goal in mind: he wants to be the heir apparent for the Trump wing of the Republican Party (which is most of the GOP). He wants to succeed him as the leader of that faction, which has reliably kept Mr. Trump in place as the de facto leader of the Republican Party.The only thing that matters to Mr. Ramaswamy in this moment is positioning himself as the obvious choice to pick up that mantle, however far in the future. Maybe that includes angling for the bottom of the ticket, but even if he missed out on that, he's still building his brand solely in Trump's image for that handoff.Take last night's debate. Mr. Ramaswamy was widely criticized for his over-the-top, bombastic, uninformed, meandering, and non-sensical performance. He repeatedly talked over his opponents and the moderators. He seemed to relish embodying an intentional arrogance. Sound like anyone to you?Mr. Ramaswamy wasn't at the debate last night to court MSNBC commentators who have spent last night and this morning consistently praising (and rightly so) former U.N. Ambassador (and South Carolina governor) Nikki Haley for handing Mr. Ramaswamy's ass to himself with logic in a heated exchange.He wasn't there to court the minority of Republican voters who (rightly) believe his political hero is a traitor to American democracy or (correctly) sense that the Era of Trump will eventually end in disaster for the GOP. He wasn't there for social media pundits like myself who have found it all-to-easy to mock his manic performance. (I likened his general vibe last night to that of a youth pastor who taken's a bump of cocaine backstage before coming out to deliver a sermon.)No, he was there to audition for an audience of one: Donald John Trump, and it didn't take long for supporters of Mr. Trump to pick up on that. Mr. Ramaswamy declined to offer any support for accountability of Mr. Trump in the midst of his myriad indictments and other legal controversies. Whereas as every other candidate, to some degree, criticized Mr. Trump, he has stood steadfastly beside his political hero and defended him.This is not by accident. The party's frontrunner may not have been present last night, but the spirit of Trumpism was very much present in Mr. Ramaswamy's performance.All of the other candidates on that stage last night have been struggling with a common puzzle: how to attract Trump supporters without alienating them — with these added complexities: 1) the risk in turning off moderate voters in the general (as Trump does) and 2) the risk in attaching their integrity to a sinking sink (which Trump is).Unsurprisingly, none of these candidates have come close to figuring it out, probably because it's an impossible task. Mr. Trump's voters only want him. Prime example: look no further than Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has a glittering resume and—until recently—had the wide backing of much of the Republican establishment.Mr. DeSantis' message to the Trump faction has been: I'm not saying my approach is morally better; I'm saying my approach is smarter, and we can go a lot further in conservative goals with my approach. Mr. DeSantis has attempted to run to the right of Mr. Trump, seeming to throw down a gauntlet: This guy is all talk; I am all action. Watch me go after Mickey Mouse. Watch me take over universities. Watch me ban books. Watch me not give a damn what my critics think, either, including Trump.The Governor of Florida has sought to present himself as the new and improved Donald Trump, with far greater discipline and actual legal and policy chops — Trump without the embarrassing gaffes, Trump without the raging narcissism, Trump without the self-destructive chaos.His efforts over the past several years in the direction of this goal have mostly failed because it turns out—surprise—that Trump supporters do not want an improved version of Mr. Trump. They don't see need for improvement. They want Mr. Trump in the original packaging, thank you very much.I firmly believe that every candidate on that stage last night understands this about Trump supporters, but none of them have been willing to do what Mr. Ramaswamy is clearly doing: unapologetically embracing everything about Mr. Trump, no matter how awful, in an attempt to be anointed as his successor someday.Mr. Ramaswamy is not actually running for president; he's running to be Mr. Trump's crown prince, and if Mr. Trump should, someday, find himself out of the running due to the overwhelming legal quagmire he's currently in, Mr. Ramaswamy is waiting there with open arms: your vision and your legacy are safe with me.And if Mr. Trump stays in the race, despite the very steep legal challenges, Mr. Ramaswamy is setting himself up as a strong Veep choice or, barring that, with an unconditional blessing and unparalleled favor from the leader of the GOP. That's the goal.To do that, Mr. Ramaswamy has clearly decided he must kill his own ego and shed any sense of shame. All that matters is being an especially devoted cover band for the twice-impeached, 4x-indicted, former president.It means pretending that he is not a Phi Beta Kappa graduate, summa cum laude, of Harvard College and earned his law degree from Yale with the assistance of a Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, a fact which was inexplicably removed from his Wikipedia article back in May.It means pretending that he is, somehow, the only millennial of his high intellectual curiosity who has not hunched over a computer at any point in the past two decades and typed the words “climate change” into the Google search box and pressed enter. It means pretending that he lacks the requisite legal education—let alone, the best legal education in the world—to clearly discern that Mr. Trump has repeatedly and flagrantly and shamelessly broken federal and state law many, many, many times over. It means pretending that the list of “truths” he has taken to parroting—an itemized ideology of Trumpism tenets, basically—are somehow not completely antithetical to basic critical thinking skills, let alone the whole of his elite education and life experience.It means pretending, to all the world, that he is somehow inferior to Mr. Trump, which everyone knows is completely false, including Mr. Trump himself. The point is not to acknowledge what's obvious to everyone; the point is the performative kneeling that is required to sell himself to Mr. Trump as eventual heir.And it all comes with enormous risk. Mr. Trump has managed to evade, for six years, substantial accountability for his numerous crimes and acts of cruelty. Now, in recent months, full accountability of Mr. Trump feels more real to the country than at any point in this era. It feels inevitable. Four active indictments, 91 total federal and state charges, ranging from obstruction to racketeering to conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government to illegally hoarding highly classified documents pertaining to our national security, on record openly admitting to wrongdoing, legally screwed beyond imagination.If Mr. Ramaswamy makes his own future inextricably bound with the reputation of the person previously described, he certainly risks going down with the ship, even if he didn't break any laws.That's the gambit. All the other candidates in this race are trying to shape some kind of reasonable, post-Trump future, and wouldn't dare careening off the cliff with him — yet, Mr. Ramaswamy is doing exactly that and hoping it pays off with being anointed by Mr. Trump, one way or the other.He doesn't care about annoying or enraging the other candidates. He doesn't care about the lectures from pundits across the spectrum. He doesn't care about shame. He only cares about fully committing to this singular role. It would seem Trump supporters sense this. While most non-Trump folks were picking Mr. Ramaswamy apart last night, myself included, he was earning high marks from Trump folks who were watching. When CNN did a post-debate poll among a focus group of 15 Republican voters in Iowa, these were the results: seven for Mr. Ramaswamy, four for Ambassador Haley, two for Gov. DeSantis, and two abstentions. The cherry-on-top for Mr. Ramaswamy was the praise posted by Mr. Trump on his platform Truth Social: “This answer gave Vivek Ramaswamy a big WIN in the debate because of a thing called TRUTH. Thank you Vivek!”What answer had Mr. Ramaswamy given that so impressed Mr. Trump?“President Trump, I believe, was the best president of the 21st century.”Made in his own image, indeed.Charlotte's Web Thoughts is a reader-supported publication.

The U.N. and other international organizations were designed to give structure to what we like to call the “international community” – establishing and expressing what we like to call “international laws” and “international norms.” Over recent years, however, authoritarian regimes have been increasingly dominating these entities, and utilizing them for their own, decidedly illiberal ends. FDD scholars have just published “A Better Blueprint for International Organizations,” a monograph with a foreword by former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, and contributions from a dozen FDD scholars. They make clear what went wrong and what can – and should – be done to fix this broken, indeed, increasingly corrupt, international system. To discuss these issues, host Cliff May is joined by Richard Goldberg, a senior advisor to FDD and the monograph's editor, and Morgan Viña, who served as chief of staff and senior policy advisor to Ambassador Haley and is now an adjunct fellow at FDD.

As ideological fault lines in the United States continue to shift, supporters of socialist policies have grown louder and more emboldened by far-Left politicians. Ambassador Haley delivered remarks on why capitalism remains the best economic system ever created, followed by a conversation with Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Peter Rough.

Episode 35: Thank You, Ambassador Haley The Liberal Left is running scared. Their entire platform is based on complete government control of every aspect of American lives; schools, jobs, religion, music, art, culture, healthcare, and especially the economy; a government run by only Democrats. But with Trump's economy blasting new records with higher stock prices, lower unemployment, greater corporate investment, lower taxes, and unprecedented levels of consumer confidence, the Liberals are realizing that not only do their policies not work but that the regular people are realizing it too. Democrats depend on ignorant masses, useful idiots, sheeple, victims, and the self-righteous entitled to survive. Without a large population of welfare dependent drones, hating anyone more successful then they are, beaten down and living without hope of improving their own situation, the Democrats have no voter base and will be cast out of power. That's why they hate Trump. That's why they hate free market capitalism. That is why they hate a growing economy. When everyday people realize that they don't need the government in order to succeed, or even that government is a hindrance to their success, they vote to limit and reduce government influence in their lives. Less government means Democrats lose their power, and more than anything Democrats want power. This is why they are fighting tooth and nail against a Kavanaugh appointment. It's not about Kavanaugh. It's about clawing tooth and nail against the rise of the American spirit and the recovery of greatness. Indiana Senator Joe Donnelly said last week, after last Thursday’s Senate hearing, that he would “gladly welcome the opportunity to work with President Trump on a new nominee for this critically important position.” Well, I think that's a lie. Here's how to prove it. Demand that they confirm Kavanaugh and then offer to work with the Democrats on the NEXT Supreme Court nominee. If they don't confirm him then shut them out of the next selection too. Remember, this isn't really about Kavanaugh. It's about Democrats stopping Trump, the GOP, the booming economy, and the rise of the American people back to greatness by any means necessary and at all costs. Democrats need a weak America in order for them to keep power. They have nothing left to lose. They've lost the economy. They've lost the White House. They've lost the Senate and the House. They're losing the Supreme Court. All they have left is the media and they're using it to shore up their power, but in such a heavy-handed, obvious, and desperate way that again even regular people are turning away. They've lost all credibility and so even the liberal media's power is waning. Desperate times for desperate people. People are dangerous when they have nothing left to lose. Democrats know that people with something to lose don't want to risk losing it and will suffer a lot of outrage and offense in order to keep what they have like Conservatives have done so much in the past. Conservatives will give up what they consider is less important to secure what is most important and keep the peace, and those with nothing to lose will use this and continue to push and continue to demand until there is nothing left to give except the most important thing, whatever it is. People with nothing to lose lose nothing if they fail and gain everything if they succeed. They benefit by holding important things hostage, threatening chaos and violence and unrest, and being terrorists. This is the idea behind Muslims using human shields. This is the idea behind ex-wives using children after divorce to demand high support payments from ex-husbands. This is the idea behind Democrats delaying the Kavanaugh appointment. It is sometimes said of relationships that the person who cares less holds all the power. We've all seen it in some marriages. One spouse loves the other unconditionally and with all that they have, willing to go to the ends of the Earth to satisfy the requirements of the other. The other spouse holds all the power, because while they may care, they don't care as much, and are willing to threaten to sacrifice the relationship for their own benefit. It's a sad state of affairs. Conservatives love America despite her flaws. Liberals hate America despite her greatness but refuse to leave, instead holding her hostage and threatening to destroy her if they don't get the power they crave. But if they get that power they will use it to destroy America anyway, so there is no winning by giving way to Liberals. So now there are violent riots in the streets, screaming protests, bullying of government officials and their family members, even biological and chemical weapons in the mail. There are wild and unbelievable false accusations cast wide and far without regard for moral, ethical, or legal standard. Democrats are not just willing to destroy America to gain power, they're eager to. Democrats have no redeeming value and we as Conservatives should give them no quarter, no mercy, and no pause. Vote in November for the Republican candidate, period. Unfortunately, this isn't a vote FOR a conservative as much as it is a vote AGAINST a liberal. No Democrat win is good for America. It doesn't matter if he or she is a close personal friend, a great person, made promises you hope for, or if the Republican candidate is less than perfect. It's not personal. It's not even business. It's war. We must first wage our war with our vote. Take your family and vote with them. Take 10 friends and all their family and vote with them. This Democrat assault on America is a crisis, and we must stand together and fight it. Democrats have been fighting a streetfight against conservatism in America for a century now. Now they are escalating it because despite their best, most devious and criminal efforts they are losing. Now it's a war. They started it. Conservatives need to finish it. The economy of war is different than the economy of a streetfight. In a streetfight, you try to minimize the damage to the neighborhood and separate the differing groups. You try to reason and rationalize and negotiate, finding middle ground. In war, every resource is redirected to defeating the enemy. No quarter is given, no hold is barred, no excuse is made, and there is no surrender. You accept the casualties around you because you know that it's not you who started the war, but you are the one who will finish it. Peace through strength. Strength in numbers. Vote Republican in November. God Bless America.   https://o4anews.com/hillary-violent-revolution-democrats-before-elections/ https://o4anews.com/after-kavanaugh-defeat-democrats-aim-dismantling-constitution/ https://o4anews.com/democrat-gameplan-2018-create-chaos-division-hatred/ https://o4anews.com/nikki-haley-resigns-us-ambassador/ https://o4anews.com/supreme-court-upholds-kavanaughs-ruling-against-illegal-obama-regs/ https://o4anews.com/anchor-babies-cost-more-per-year-total-cost-border-wall/ https://o4anews.com/house-rinos-trumps-way-fully-fund-border-wall/ 00:00:4000:07:4600:19:57

Today on TruNews, we discuss the significance of Israel’s downing of a Syrian jet over the occupied Golan Heights, and how that, paired with Zionist John Hagee’s crusade for the establishment of an eternal Jewish state, and Ambassador Haley’s war on antisemitism, show the true foreign collusion in President Trump’s grand plan for a war or peace resolution with Iran.

06-19-2018 - Remarks on UN Human Rights Council by Secretary Pompeo and Ambassador Haley - audio - English

Darrell Castle talks about the recent U.S. missile attack in Syria and the nature of war itself.   Transcription / Notes SYRIA, THE HEIGHT OF HYPOCRISY Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report.  Today is Friday, April 27, 2018, and on today's Report I will again be discussing Syria and the United States involvement there.  The further we get from the alleged poison gas attack by the forces of Syrian president Bandar al Assad upon his own civilian population, the less sense it makes.  We are expected to believe that Assad used a poison gas weapon, banned by international agreement and sure to draw an immediate US response, against a civilian population, which was no threat to him, and in an area in which he was apparently just hours away from complete victory.  In addition, the attack was launched immediately after President Trump announced that the United States would soon be leaving Syria.  The claim is therefore not believable. I watched the speech of UN Ambassador Nikki Haley to the Security Council and her statements seem pretty implausible.  She made many accusations but offered zero evidence.  Her statement was a long diatribe blaming Russia for the alleged attack because Russia has refused UN inspections and sanctions on Assad in the past.  She again offered no evidence whatsoever that anything she said was true.  We are expected to believe and accept the statement, “the United States believes, or United States intelligence has revealed”, as evidence but that doesn't cut it anymore.  Unfortunately, United States intelligence agencies have lost the right to be believed at face value and real evidence is required. France and the United Kingdom joined in the American attack and also defended it alongside Ambassador Haley at the Security Council.  However, former UK Ambassador to Syria, Peter Ford, offered a different view.  Mr. Ford did not share his government's and the media's version of the attack.  He said that he did not believe the poison gas attack by Assad forces actually happened and the whole thing was a false flag attack. Bandar al Assad is a bad dictator and the United States really doesn't like bad dictators, or does it? Muammar Gaddafi of Libya was a bad dictator, Saddam Hussein of Iraq was a bad dictator, and so are Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong-Un.  According to Freedom House's rating system there were 49 nations in the world, as of 2015, the last year measured, that were characterized as “dictatorships”.  The United States Government provides military assistance to 36 of them.  Seventy three per cent of the world's dictators are on the dole of U.S. taxpayers. Furthermore, we are now in the 17th year of the “war on Terror”, declared unilaterally by President George W. Bush in 2001.  That war seems to be spreading instead of ending so the question becomes– Where in the world is the U.S. military operating today?  According to a recent article by US News and World Report entitled “Where in the World id the US Military? Everywhere”, the U.S. military is literally everywhere.  American counterterrorism forces are active in 76, or 40%, of the world's countries.  Those are just the forces actively deployed fighting actual wars in 40% of the world.  U.S. forces are based or located in most of the rest. Operation Enduring Freedom, which started in Afghanistan in October of 2001, has now rapidly spread around the entire world.  Right now Africa, more than anywhere else, is the most active region in the war on terror and is therefore getting the most U.S. attention.  Military personnel, as well as massive amounts of military technology, hardware, training and expertise are pouring in to local African military and police forces.  U.S. military bases, camps, compounds, port facilities and “cooperative security locations” dot the African continent.  U.S. Special Forces are being deployed to track insurgents across Africa.  Drone strikes to kill targets are also increasing in frequency across the region...

In this week's episode I talk about what happened with Nikki Haley, our Ambassador to the UN, this week. But more importantly, how we can learn from her mature response to being undermined and possibly embarrassed in front of the entire world. How do we choose self-control when we're hurt or misunderstood? How do we stay firm in our conviction to stay kind at all times? Take a listen to my analysis of Ambassador Haley's response to the White House. Five Minute Friday is something we do each week to keep you in the loop about what’s going on in the news. It's important to be informed because if we don’t know what’s going on in the world, we will be less likely to engage in conversation or formulate opinions. Your opinion shapes your reality and it's crucial that our reality makes a positive impact on our world.

Nikki Haley has had a rough week. On Sunday, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations announced sanctions against Russia. On Monday, the White House said there would be no sanctions. Then, the president’s economic advisor said Haley was simply “confused.” Vox’s Zack Beauchamp explains how Ambassador Haley punched back and why this isn’t the best look for the country.
