Just a Thought

The thought below is my thought alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com  

[[[ Now this is what a true war time leader sounds and acts like...Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has now instructed the IDF and Mossad to "overthrow the Iranian regime"...the very thing Trump has NOT yet said or likely intends to say as he's still trying to make deals with those in the process of rebuilding and refortifying their nuclear facilities...the ones NOT totally destroyed last summer.

 

"My directive to the IDF, the Mossad, and the defense establishment... is to overthrow the regime in Iran," were BiBi's exact words and orders said at today's (Wednesday) graduation ceremony for IDF officer cadets.

 

"The Iranian regime still has not learned its lesson. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei decided to follow in his father's footsteps and has released the safety catch, and Iran is once again trying to develop weapons of death," said Prime Minister Netanyahu.

 

And the worst thing about this is Trump knows Netanyahu speaks the truth as he continues campaigning instead of attending to important business at hand while putting Iran on the back burner...want to bet Iran will be be doing "something bad' before our midterm elections, simply because they know Trump said NO U.S. attacks before the midterms, which he again reiterated today.

 

I am beyond positive that Netanyahu will keep his word, and that Israel will be the one to actually finish the job that Trump, for whatever misplaced reason, seems unwilling to do. My thought, my opinion, and I stand by it. ]]]

Rubio Backed Greece. Haftar Handed Turkey a Victory.

Brad Parscale / Townhall Columnist 

 

Marco Rubio went to Greece to strengthen an American partnership. Less than two weeks later, the political allies of a Libyan strongman handed Turkey a victory at Greece’s expense.

 

Washington should pay attention. The strongman’s family is also cultivating a relationship with the United States.

Khalifa Haftar controls much of eastern Libya, where his family has built a powerful military and political operation. His son Saddam has become an increasingly influential figure. American officials have met with both men as part of efforts to bring stability to a country divided by years of conflict.

Engagement can make sense. But Washington needs to judge the relationship by what the Haftars deliver.

On October 20, Libya’s eastern parliament approved a maritime deal with Turkey that it had opposed for years. The agreement backs Turkish claims to waters where Greece says its islands have rights. The European Union has rejected the deal’s treatment of those rights. Read more here.

[[[ When Trump was campaigning yesterday in Kansas for the midterms, he rattled off a list of all the people in countries followers of Islam hate, but he said NOT a word…NOT ONE WORD…about Israel and the Jewish people! A "slip of the tongue" some will claim, but I say it's way more telling than that, and NOT in a good way.

 

How so...because I believe Trump knows that it will be Israel who puts an end to the Iranian regime, and thus the war itself, by finishing the job he is too politically cowardly and legacy wise afraid to do. ]]]

Op-ed:

Bipartisanship and Compromise...Measuring Success and Failure 

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor

This opinion piece is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com  

...when you add in the fact that both sides refuse to even listen to what the opposing side has to say, then we as a nation find ourselves faced with the distinct possibility that the uber conservative far right has...albeit maybe unbeknownst to them...actually shaken hands with the uber liberal progressive far left. One and the same in temperament while being polar opposites in core beliefs, a party scenario not good for our country itself nor for the collective known Constitutionally as, “We the People.”

And with both sides of the aisle are always relishing in pointing out what they consider to be the other side's strategic, economic, foreign policy, and political differences, they're also busy trying to coverup their own political blunders. And it's being done while we voters continue to be subjected to overtly partisan driven newscasts replete with neatly tied up bundles of omissions and lies so as to help divert and deflect us away from the fact that America today is indeed in dire trouble. Why so...because no government, no party, and especially no president, can govern effectively when common sense, logic, tangible facts, coupled with the all-important need for “compromise,” plays little to no part in what should be the reality of successful governing discourse. Read entire article here.
