David Waldman returns, only to depart again. But that does not mean he can't sit down and talk awhile! Vendors are filing out of the 2025 Middle East Global Scam Expo today. This year's ScamSpo headliners were an impressive list of world-class scum suckers, though some might assert that they lack the gravitas of past douche nuggets. If you are collecting plutocrat trading cards, now is the time to pick up a Dina Powell. It will take Donald K. Trump the weekend to pack all of his gift bags, but he might not yet be able to show off his big beautiful Emolument 747. Meh, Donald has 3-11 more years to top that swag. Trump can hardly wait to get home and let Don Jr. try out his new bone saw. Tulsi Gabbard canned intelligence officials that she caught acting too intelligently, while She-Wolf of the DOJ, Pam Bondi, shall add humiliation to her toolbox of torture. If they run out of ideas, the 17 Mexican cartel members Trump brought into the US are certain to have some innovative suggestions. Team Trump is getting pretty good at disappearing people. RFK Jr. doesn't remember those hundreds of scientists that were in his department a moment ago. The DHS misplaced who knows how many people. The FAA is pretty certain that fewer than 3000 air traffic controllers are MIA, but definitely more than one. The ICC's chief prosecutor isn't even certain that he's still there anymore. The Gop TLDR bill is having a tough time, because folks keep giving out spoilers to them. Republicans think they have a way to get around the filibuster… so do the Democrats. SCOTUS obviously can't outright deny birthright citizenship, so obviously they will need to get craftier.

Dina Powell McCormick's immigrant journey began when her parents moved their family from Cairo, Egypt, to the United States when Dina was a child, hoping to ensure that their daughter would have opportunities that weren't possible in their native country. The sacrifices that came with moving to a new land paid off: Dina's journey took her to the White House, where she was a trusted advisor to President George W. Bush – who painted her for his latest project, Out of Many, One: Portraits of America's Immigrants.RelatedOut of Many, OneGoldman Sachs sustainability and community engagement10,000 Small Businesses10,000 Women1 Million Black Women

Who better to represent the US at the United Nations than the President's daughter?That's what Donald Trump seemed to think when asked by a reporter earlier.The President is seeking a new ambassador, after Nikki Haley resigned from her post this morning.Asked about the possibility of Ivanka Trump taking the role, Trump said she would be "incredible" in the role."There's nothing to do with nepotism, but I want to tell you, the people that know know that Ivanka would be dynamite."Ivanka has tweeted out to say that she will not replace Haley.Trump says he's narrowed down a short list of five people to replace U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley at the United Nations.Talking with reporters aboard Air Force One, he said that former White House adviser Dina Powell is among those on the short list.Asked about U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, Trump said he "absolutely" would consider him but would rather keep him where he is because he is "doing such a good job."He is expected to announce Haley's successor in a few weeks.- with content from APLISTEN TO BARRY SOPER TALK WITH ANDREW DICKENS ABOVE
If Trump, according to Michael Wolff, the author of “Fire and Fury” had to be coaxed by his daughter Ivanka and former NSC staffer Dina Powell, by showing him gruesome photos of dying kids, in order to retaliate against Assad's chemical attack on Khan Sheikhoun in April 2017, then we're in serious trouble. Moreover, if the only voice in the Trump administration that was convinced of the nefarious role of Iran throughout the region, was that of Retired (and now fired) Gen. Michael Flynn, then we are in a bigger trouble than we thought. Finally, if the Arab-Israeli peace process, or what is left of it, has been entrusted by the Trump administration solely to Jared Kushner, his thirty-something, wet-behind-the-ears son-in law, who takes his cues from Rupert Murdoch and Henry Kissinger, then we are totally lost. These are no minor flaws and those are not hypothetical situations. The author Wolff maintains that such attitudes, state of mind, and whims of the current US President are true as supplied by an army of close advisers both on and off, the record. Those in the Middle East who had hoped for a reverse-pivot onto the region with the US taking the lead in clearing the wreckage left by the Obama administration, might be up for a rude awakening. The Obama presidency brought nothing but disasters onto the US and its long-term allies in the region. Starting with the non-interventionist stand on Syria including the refusal to establish safe zones and avert the refugee crisis that has affected Europe, and finishing with the crossing of the red lines for the use by Assad of chemical weapons. Another calamitous masterpiece was the Iran Nuclear deal, whereby the Mullahs were given plane loads of cash and a free rein to wreak havoc onto the region as long as they agreed not to push that nuclear button, for the time being at least. In that same vein of damaging policies, one would enlist the not-so-subtle support by the Obama-Clinton-Kerry axis of the Muslim Brotherhood in their takeover of Egypt, and the blank check issued to Turkey (aka Erdogan), a NATO member country, to purge and revamp the country into a 21st century Islamic Sultanate. One had reasons to hope that a semi-Republican in the White House, who felt that America's standing in the world has been tarnished, would bring back assurances to long-term allies and fear onto enemies. But it seems laughter is more likely to be the result, just after one year. A roaring laughter from Assad in Syria, who survived the civil war and got the Russians and Iranians to fight the serious battles on behalf of his army. Giggling in Iran must be common in the high circles of power, with a US President unenthusiastic to confront Iran militarily (and now that Flynn is out, not even confront Iran verbally), unwilling to rescind the Iran Nuclear Deal by passing the bucket sheepishly to Congress, and uncomfortable with international affairs, in general, as long as they do not involve the building of a resort or the licensing of a casino. Finally, on the Arab-Israeli front, the US administration paid a check in advance to PM Netanyahu, with the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel, without getting a paper receipt back. The Palestinians for their sake, have delved into a combination of mass depression, mass shouting, and a barrage of empty threats. Waking up and adjusting quickly to the reality of Trump, as depicted in the Wolff accounts provided they are accurate by a modest margin, bring us to ponder on the thought that stupefaction, if it persists, becomes stupidity.
People who are aware are noticing very weird stuff going on with the world information grid -especially inside the Anglo Saxon world- as contradictions and bizarre events multiply. These are all signs of a collapsing power matrix; the sort of thing seen around the time of the fall of the USSR. The first thing to note about last week in particular is that the US was hit for the first time since 2005 with a hurricane. US President Donald Trump tweeted the code phrase for weather warfare â??once in 500 yearsâ?? to describe Hurricane Harvey. The fact that it hit the Bush clan homeland of Texas, in particular the city of Houston, with devastating floods, makes it likely this is some sort of revenge for the Bush engineered Hurricane Katrina attack on New Orleans. It may also be related to the fact that 16 US and Canadian diplomats in Cuba suffered brain injuries from some kind of â??Sonic attack.â?? They may well have been hit because of their involvement in cutting of the Bush clan drug money that was being laundered through Cuba. It is also interesting that â??Sonic attacksâ?? are now being reported by world media instead of being dismissed as delusions by people â??wearing tin foil hats.â?? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-08-25/mystery-deepens-after-us-confirms-16-diplomats-suffered-traumatic-brain-injury-cuban In any case, all of this indicates a high level, esoteric power struggle is continuing. This power struggle is also being revealed in strange and contradictory news announcements concerning US Senator John â??Daeshâ?? McCain. Remember recently we had media reports that McCain had been diagnosed with malignant brain cancer? These were followed immediately with reports that McCain had recovered and rallied the Senate to stop Trump plans to repeal Obamacare. Then after that the USS â??John McCainâ?? was rammed by a cargo ship, killing many US sailors. Now we are being told that McCain has been wire-tapping the White House and leaking all of the Trump administrationsâ?? plans to hostile media. http://itmakessenseblog.com/2017/08/27/the-rat-in-the-white-house-that-has-been-leaking-was-just-exposed-look-who-it-was-omgjohn-mccain/ As the oft-used phrase aptly puts it â??you canâ??t make this up,â?? but then again it looks as if two opposing forces are indeed making this stuff up. There are many others signs other than contradictory reports about madman McCain to indicate a high level power struggle is raging in Washington DC. Inside the Trump administration, the removal of Steve Bannon has now been followed by the ouster of adviser Sebastian Gorka. These are the folks who were pushing for a hard line against â??radical Islamâ??(=Khazarian agents) and China. Now the â??make America great againâ?? alt-right faction in the administration is fighting back. Pentagon sources say Trump chief of staff General John Kelly â??may be forced to fire globalist democrats Gary Cohn, Jared Kushner and Dina Powell to even the score and appease the Trump base.â?? â??Jared is under fire for his failure as peacemaker, with no two-state solution based on 1967 lines, while getting no love from Egypt, Palestine, or even Isreal,â?? the sources note. Meanwhile â??Goldmanite Gary Cohn is already under massive pressure to resign, he puts his tribe first, opposes tariffs, supports antifa and the Jewish fake news media in his interview with the Financial Times that made Trump explode,â?? they add.

The only thing worse than seeing Obama’s policies actualized is having them achieved under our banner. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss the foreign policy betrayals of the administration, promoted by the likes of H.R. McMaster and Dina Powell. From policies towards the PLO and the Saudis, to Turkey and Iran, this administration is pursuing the very same agenda conservatives blasted under Obama. Have we lost our intellectual honesty to such a point that we will now bless policies we hated just a few months ago? We further delve into the danger of the Saudis and Erdogen in funding a subversion agenda on our own soil and how that is the front line in the war against jihad, not refereeing Islamic civil wars. Thus, to sell out to the Saudis under the guise of fighting ISIS is completely backwards. The key is for conservatives not to get distracted by the smoke of optics and bluster of rhetoric, but focus on the policy outcomes behind the curtain. Look at what is actually happening on the policies and issues from which the media will often distract us, and it will become clear we are losing the battle for control of this administration. Too many people are focusing on Trump’s speeches he’s given overseas and not on the broader policy direction of the administration. More than with any other administration, the policies are not reflecting the rhetoric of the president himself. That is a problem. What’s the point of obsessing over defending this administration from all the scandals if they are not even promoting our policies anyway? This is why it’s so important Trump hear from conservatives and understand that we are not ok with him selling out on foreign policy. If we don’t advocate for our priorities, who will?

This week is full of scandals in the media, but it’s also full of Trump policy betrayals that are not being discussed in the media. Worse, they are not being discussed in the conservative media because they are too busy defending Trump from some indefensible actions while he is screwing conservatives on policy. They are defending him against the media while he has allowed Jared, Ivanka, Dina Powell, Gary Cohn, and H.R. McMaster to create the very policies outcomes, ironically, supported by that very same media. What’s the point in incurring such political liability and an electoral wipeout if we are not even getting our policy outcomes? In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we break down why this strategy of focusing on the lesser of two evils – “but the Democrats are worse,” “we can’t let the Democrats win” is actually counterproductive to its own stated goals. By pursuing this strategy, we ensure those very Democrats get elected with an even bigger mandate. Isn’t it time we break free and stand consistently and morally on our own two feet? Unless we do so, we will get crushed in the midterm elections, thereby losing so many governorships and state legislatures (forget about Congress!). This will determine redistricting for a decade.
