It wasn’t enough to deep-six a pipeline that would have taken oil and gas from the source in Western Canada to the major cities and ports in Eastern Canada, they have blockaded rail lines, too.
This has been going on for a while now, and Prime Minister Blackface hasn’t been able to locate his testicles and do something about it… even though these protests are an ILLEGAL blockade of rail, and enforcement is a national responsibility.
It’s getting pretty bad. Workers are suffering. People are being laid off. Maritime Canada — i.e. North of Maine, could be facing critical shortfalls of propane… in February.
While police sit on their hands, and politicians give platitudes, a couple of bros decided to take action.

The guy that has been going around saying that God doesn ’ t belong to a political party is lecturing Christians that support Trump .
Over the weekend , Democratic presidential hopeful , Pete Buttigieg , insisted that God does not belong to a particular political party .

The guy that has been going around saying that God doesn’t belong to a political party is lecturing Christians that support Trump.
It’s an interesting strategy.
Over the weekend, Democratic presidential hopeful, Pete Buttigieg, insisted that God does not belong to a particular political party.
In a CNN town hall event in Las Vegas, Buttigieg targeted Christian Trump supporters implying that they were not holding to the tenets of their faith because of the way they choose to vote.
He couched his words by insisting that he wasn’t going to “tell other Christians how to be Christians,” but then castigated them for supporting Trump.
BURNETT: To the point you talked about God not belonging to any kind of a political party, at the last CNN town hall, you said, if your faith calls upon you to help the marginalized, those who are afflicted, to comfort people, to strive for humility and decency as the Christian faith does, and then, I quote you, “Then, I just can’t imagine that that requires of you that you be anywhere near this President.” Do you think it is impossible to be a Christian and support President Trump?
BUTTIGIEG: Well, I’m not going to tell other Christians how to be Christians, but I will say: I cannot find any compatibility between the way this president conducts himself and anything I find in scripture. Now I guess that’s my interpretation, but I think that’s a lot of people’s interpretation, and that interpretation deserves a voice.

Mayor Pete doesn’t like President Trump’s pugilistic style or what he considers questionable morality. What if — and hear me out — what if we’re looking for a PRESIDENT and not a moral leader.
After all, to Christians, we’ve already had the greatest moral teacher of all time — Jesus. Frankly, he wasn’t always the Sweet, Gentle Jesus that he has been portrayed as; he braided a whip and kicked people out of the Temple, he called a woman a dog, he called out another woman for her sexual history, and he insulted the Pharisees by calling them names like “whitewashed tombs.”

The super-rich owner of Amazon just learned that you can never, ever do enough for green activists.
Nothing will satisfy these people until the population has been halved and those lucky enough to be alive are surviving in conditions similar to the dark ages, sterilized, naked and eating bugs.
We are paradoxically told that we must spend billions of dollars to fight the inevitable “climate catastrophe” or we’re all going to die in the next… what is it now, 11 months? Whatever.
The advocates shouting that both governments and individuals Need To Do Something Right Now while protest-dancing, super-gluing themselves to roads, and setting up a blockade in front of the wrong business, aren’t so supportive of Bezos pledging to give billions of dollars to their cause. Some are calling it a “greenwash” and slamming him as a hypocrite because according to even those who buy Amazon shares, his business has a massive carbon footprint.
The richest man in America yesterday unveiled the Bezos Earth Fund to be set up with his vast funds. Amazon paid federal income tax this year for the first time since 2016, shelling out $162 million, a mere 1.2 percent of its $13.9billion income for 2019. Earlier this month Bezos spent more than that on a Beverly Hills mansion worth $165million.
Critics were quick to point out that Amazon has a carbon footprint that is greater than some small countries and gets tax breaks, which they find offensive. They also question where the funding will go and how exactly it will help in fighting climate change.
Amazon said it emitted 44.4million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2018, which is more than some small countries. Furthermore, critics questioned how the initiative would operate, it being privately funded, Bezos will be have full control and its activities will not necessarily be transparent. In outlining his project Bezos only provided rudimentary details saying it ‘will fund scientists, activists, NGOs.’
Bezos posted the announcement that he was starting Bezos Earth Fund on Instagram writing:
“Today, I’m thrilled to announce I am launching the Bezos Earth Fund.

Climate change is the biggest threat to our planet. I want to work alongside others both to amplify known ways and to explore new ways of fighting the devastating impact of climate change on this planet we all share. This global initiative will fund scientists, activists, NGOs — any effort that offers a real possibility to help preserve and protect the natural world. We can save Earth. It’s going to take collective action from big companies, small companies, nation states, global organizations, and individuals.

I’m committing $10 billion to start and will begin issuing grants this summer. Earth is the one thing we all have in common — let’s protect it, together.”
But it was quickly noted that Amazon’s business model relies on fossil fuel and has made deals with oil and gas companies.
Amazon has landed lucrative deals with fossil fuel companies BP, Shell and Haliburton, to provide machine learning for better exploration and oilfield automation. Others drew attention to the plight of Bezos’ workers around the world who have endured savage working conditions to meet cost-cutting retail demands. Many commented on the hypocrisy from a man whose company makes its billions from packaging items with papers and plastics and delivers them by burning fossil fuels. Source: Daily Mail
The lefty blue-check eco-activists grabbed their smartphones and tweeted their outrage because Bezos is really a capitalist villain, you see. The answer is to move to socialism and take their money.
Yesterday Jeff Bezos announced he would commit $10B into a new venture called the Bezos Earth Fund. All that money could help fund a Green New Deal if Amazon paid its taxes. We stand in solidarity with the workers at Amazon organizing to make this happen. https://t.co/NeehxTQTTk — 350 dot org (@350) February 18, 2020
Jeff Bezos is the richest man on ? bc Amazon paid 1.2% in taxes on 13.2 Billion in PROFIT last year. When we elect a #BrandNewCongress, mega corps will no longer exploit the working class & will pay their fair share. This is why they fear us.#JEN2020https://t.co/hBosZjPjj3 — Jen Perelman (@JENFL23) February 10, 2020

Billionaires suck. I can’t wait to tax the fuck out of them and watch them cry about it. https://t.co/8s157eXteA — (((David Starr)))? (@TheProductDS) February 18, 2020
Others say it’s a way for him to “greenwash” his company’s carbon footprint.
To be quite honest, #JeffBezos the biggest threat to our planet is tax avoidance. Throwing 10 billion at the Climate Emergency isn't about saving the planet but you white washing your company's culpability in it. — John Smith (son of Harry Leslie Smith) (@Harryslaststand) February 18, 2020
Instead of a small donation to greenwash his company's devastating climate record, Jeff Bezos should try paying his taxes. https://t.co/n39K3uyX4z — VICE UK (@VICEUK) January 13, 2020
Berkeley Economics professor and former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich noted that Bezos lives a life of luxury.
Jeff Bezos' new $165 million Beverly Hills mansion will have: — 3 hot houses
— 2 guesthouses
— A nine-hole golf course
— A tennis court
— A "motor court" with gas pumps Remember when Amazon's Whole Foods cut health benefits for part-time workers to save money? Tax the rich. — Robert Reich (@RBReich) February 13, 2020
If you want to wrap your head around just how much a billion dollars really is, consider this: — 1 million seconds is 11.5 days — 1 billion seconds is 31.5 YEARS Now consider this: Jeff Bezos' net worth is $160 billion. $160 billion. With a B. — Robert Reich (@RBReich) February 14, 2020
Wow. Reich sounds a bit envious of Bezos’s success. After all, Reich is just a millionaire. According to The Richest, Reich’s net worth is in the neighborhood of $4 million.
Jeff Bezos' Beverly Hills mansion has: —3 saunas
—2 guesthouses
—A nine-hole golf course
—A tennis court
—A "motor court" with gas pumps Let's not confuse that for his DC mansion, which has: —2 elevators
—25 bathrooms
—1,006 light fixtures
—A full movie theater Tax the rich. — Robert Reich (@RBReich) February 16, 2020
— Amazon donated $690K to Australia fire relief — Jeff Bezos gets paid $700K every 5 minutes — Amazon's donation is the equivalent of a normal person donating 55 cents — Amazon got a $129M rebate on $11B in profits in 2018 Tax the rich. — Public Citizen (@Public_Citizen) February 16, 2020
Alleged-conservative political commentator Ana Navarro-Cárdenas weighed in, and like many others were slamming Amazon for not paying its “fair share” in taxes.
Not of a fan of vilifying billionaire donors. All Americans should pay fair share of taxes. @Amazon, @JeffBezos, I’m talking you you. But whether you grew-up a trust-fund baby or a latch-key kid, whether you’re rich or deep in debt, in America we all have same political rights.?? — Ana Navarro-Cárdenas (@ananavarro) February 11, 2020
Taxes, which Amazon avoids paying, are better than charity. The Green New Deal is also a lot better than a Bezos Earth Fund, which @JeffBezos has only provided “rudimentary details” about. https://t.co/UbuOogPnJk — Ben Spielberg (@BenSpielberg) February 18, 2020
If Jeff Bezos was taxed at a 70% rate on his $130billion worth, we would have $90billion for climate change and he’d still have more money than one person could spend in a lifetime. https://t.co/FXhqWtwVFF — Chris Kluwe, Irredeemable Pudgy Nobody (@ChrisWarcraft) February 18, 2020
I just spent $75 on a year's subscription to @emorwee's climate newsletter. In terms of our relative wealth, I just made a greater contribution to the climate movement than @JeffBezos. And I pay taxes! — Brad Johnson (@climatebrad) February 18, 2020
Instead of giving $10 billion to fight climate change, @JeffBezos and @Amazon could just pay their fair share of taxes & countries around the world would have the funds to fight climate change, provide citizens with affordable healthcare, ensure schools are properly funded, etc — Edward Hardy (@EdwardTHardy) February 18, 2020
Reminder that Jeff Bezos makes $10bn every month. Philanthropy is good. Paying taxes is better. pic.twitter.com/tiCdBOLr46 — Adam Smith (@adamndsmith) February 18, 2020
Jonah Blank says that the $10 billion that Bezos has pledged is not really from him, but the money that was “stolen” from taxpayers.
Yes, #JeffBezos is the world's richest man largely because #Amazon pays no taxes. So, yes, this $10 billion is largely money that comes from you and me (that is: The taxpayers of every country where Amazon operates). BUT he's using it to fight #ClimateChange. So: ?????????? https://t.co/VlSsAgKmMq — Jonah Blank (@JonahBlank) February 18, 2020
Well, that’s a take.
Sure, Amazon has problems with surplus packaging, treatment of employees, and avoiding taxes by exploiting loopholes — and none of that is something that can be ignored — but the man just pledged the GDP of a small country to the left’s cause célèbre. Where’s the gratitude? Where is the applause?
Hollywood celebs are fêted when the jet all over the place to speak at climate action events.
Oh, wait. I forgot. They’re not mustache-twirling capitalists like Bezos.

clashdaily--2020-02-19--WATCH: Bernie Spokesperson Equates Questions About His Medical Records To A ‘Smear’ Campaign

Voters might want to know the health status of a 78-year old who suffered a heart attack a few months ago .
Is that a ‘ smear ’ ?
According to Briahna Joy Gray , National Press Secretary for the Bernie Sanders campaign , the answer is “ yes.
” Gray was speaking to John Berman on CNN ’ s New Day about Bernie refusing to release his medical records after suffering a heart attack and requiring surgery while on the campaign trail in October .
She said that Bernie is only going to release as much as “ any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now and historically .
Gray added that it ’ s “ reminiscent ” of smear and skepticism campaigns in the past which questioned where they were from or aspects of their lineage .
Trending : Antifa Tinkerpots Don ’ t Want Their Pics Shared – So , Let ’ s Share Them Far-N-Wide Apparently , wanting to know if Bernie is healthy enough to finish a possible 4-year term in an incredibly stressful job is tantamount to birtherism .
That is one helluva spin !
But she doesn ’ t stop there .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that it ’ s telling that nobody is asking these questions about Michael Bloomberg who is the same age as Bernie and claims that he has also “ suffered heart attacks.

Voters might want to know the health status of a 78-year old who suffered a heart attack a few months ago. Is that a ‘smear’?
According to Briahna Joy Gray, National Press Secretary for the Bernie Sanders campaign, the answer is “yes.”
Gray was speaking to John Berman on CNN’s New Day about Bernie refusing to release his medical records after suffering a heart attack and requiring surgery while on the campaign trail in October.
She said that Bernie is only going to release as much as “any other candidate” on the field right now and historically. Gray added that it’s “reminiscent” of smear and skepticism campaigns in the past which questioned where they were from or aspects of their lineage.
Apparently, wanting to know if Bernie is healthy enough to finish a possible 4-year term in an incredibly stressful job is tantamount to birtherism.
That is one helluva spin!
But she doesn’t stop there.
Gray then goes on offense and says that it’s telling that nobody is asking these questions about Michael Bloomberg who is the same age as Bernie and claims that he has also “suffered heart attacks.” This last statement is apparently false, as confirmed by Bloomberg’s campaign.
JUST NOW: Press Sec for @BernieSanders equates questions on his medical records to "smear" campaign. & claims @MikeBloomberg has "suffered heart attacks." Bloomberg had an irregular heartbeat & stents. But I've seen no record of attack. Checking now.pic.twitter.com/iW5Ag2xbUt — John Berman (@JohnBerman) February 19, 2020
CNN’s Jake Tapper tweeted a response from Bloomberg’s campaign along with a fact-check.

It seems reasonable to request the medical records of a man who would be 79 by the time the election rolls around in November and — in the unlikely event that he won — would be 82 years old at the end of his first term.
For a little perspective, President Reagan was 77 years old when he left office after two terms.
We have several septuagenarians running for the highest office in the land, and it seems like a reasonable thing to ask what the status of their health is right now. There are clearly no guarantees, but it would be nice to know if someone who is 70+ has a catastrophic illness or some health condition that would sideline him/her requiring handing over control to the Vice President.
Do you know who agrees with that? Bernie Sanders circa October 2019.
Sanders in October (when he said Joe Biden should release his records!)

clashdaily--2020-02-20--Roger Stone’s Sentence Handed Down — Here’s The 411

He will be going to jail , but not for as long as those four prosecuting lawyers had wanted .
Although the sentence has been handed down , Stone will not be going into jail today .
That will wait until after he has his chance to appeal and contest the known issue about the corrupted jury .
A federal judge on Thursday sentenced President Donald Trump ’ s long-time adviser Roger Stone to three years and four months in prison for charges that include lying to lawmakers investigating Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election .
The judge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Trump — had some pointed things to say about the accused : Trending : Antifa Tinkerpots Don ’ t Want Their Pics Shared – So , Let ’ s Share Them Far-N-Wide “ He was not prosecuted – as some have complained – for standing up for the president .

“ This is intolerable to the administration of justice , ” she added .
The initial sentencing memo by the original prosecutors in the case that called for seven to nine years in prison – later reversed by the Justice Department after Trump complained publicly – was thorough and well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ added that such a sentence would be “ unnecessary ” for Stone .
Stone is under a gag order , and on a short leash .
He also never said anything in his own defense .
His lawyer pointed out that his legally-unrelated reputation as a political ‘ dirty trickster ’ contributed to the severity of his sentence , and claimed Stone ’ s lack of any prior criminal record was not given due consideration .
“ Mr .

A federal judge on Thursday sentenced President Donald Trump’s long-time adviser Roger Stone to three years and four months in prison for charges that include lying to lawmakers investigating Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
The judge — an Obama appointee and no fan of Trump — had some pointed things to say about the accused:
“He was not prosecuted – as some have complained – for standing up for the president. He was prosecuted for covering up for the president,” Jackson said.
“There was nothing unfair, phony or disgraceful about the investigation or the prosecution,” Jackson added, citing words that Trump has used.
The judge also said Stone “knew exactly what he was doing” when he posted an image on social media last year that positioned a gun’s cross-hairs over her head.

“This is intolerable to the administration of justice,” she added.

But the judge said Stone’s effort to obstruct a congressional investigation into Russian election meddling “was deliberate, planned – not one isolated incident.” The investigators were not some “secret anti-Trump cabal,” the judge said, but members of Congress from both parties at the time when the committee was controlled by the president’s fellow Republicans.
Trump, not surprisingly had something to say about it.
He is raising the issue so important to his ‘deplorable’ base. Why do political insiders of ONE stripe keep getting a pass, while anyone on the other side of the political aisle seem to get targeted for malicious prosecution?
“They say Roger Stone lied to Congress.” @CNN OH, I see, but so did Comey (and he also leaked classified information, for which almost everyone, other than Crooked Hillary Clinton, goes to jail for a long time), and so did Andy McCabe, who also lied to the FBI! FAIRNESS? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 20, 2020
John Kerry and Senator Chris Murphy grossly violated the Logan Act with respect to Iran. If a Republican did what they did, there would be very serious ramifications! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 20, 2020

Liz Warren’s energy at that moment:
Yikes! The entire slate of candidates piled onto Bloomberg… which is an interesting strategy considering Mr. Moneybags is going to fund whoever it is that eventually wins the nom.

Trump has taken some serious heat over his recent pardons from some quarters .

For Stanton-King , the pardon represented another amazing chapter in her life ’ s extraordinary journey .
After surviving a troubled childhood involving abuse , she got caught up in a stolen vehicle ring , and received a prison sentence .
She was released in 2005 .

clashdaily--2020-02-20--WTF? The New York Times Publishes Taliban Propaganda Written By An FBI ‘Most Wanted’ Terrorist

The Times is really leaning into that “ enemy of the people ” label .
It ’ s not really a good look .
As a matter of fact , it ’ s just as bad as the paid-for propaganda pieces by China and Russia in major outlets .
The New York Times is being criticized by many , including its own Afghanistan correspondent , after publishing an opinion piece Thursday by the deputy leader of the Taliban , who is wanted by the U.S. government .
The opinion piece , headlined “ What We , the Taliban , Want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as the Trump administration is hoping to reach a peace deal with the Taliban that would end America ’ s longest war and begin the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan .

Haqqani had the audacity to write , “ I am confident that , liberated from foreign domination and interference , we together will find a way to build an Islamic system in which all Afghans have equal rights , where the rights of women that are granted by Islam — from the right to education to the right to work — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the basis for equal opportunity.
” Tom Rogan at the Washington Examiner handles this well : Taliban-Haqqani ideology exists at the warped intersection of extremist Sunni-Deobandi Islam , Pashtun tribal politics , and corruption .
It embraces theological foundations of deception and has no regard for “ merit.
” Unless , that is , the merit is measured by that which fuels Taliban patronage networks and fosters vicious authoritarianism .
Similarly , Haqqani might be serious in saying he wants women to have education and employment rights .
But only so far as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ responsibility to kneel to authoritarianism and their employment in absolute subservience to men .
Equally absurd is his response to concerns over whether Afghanistan will remain a democracy after a peace deal is signed and American troops withdraw : “ My response to such concerns is that it will depend on a consensus among Afghans.

Mohammad Tawhidi, an Imam who wants to reform Islam, raised the alarm pretty quickly:
?OH MY GOD!? 2 HOURS AGO The New York Times published an opinion piece by Deputy Leader of the Taliban, presenting him as a leader with a genuine cause.

Here is what The Times’ senior correspondent in Afghanistan had to say:
The piece by Siraj Haqqani in @nytopinion – which's independent of our news operations & judgment – omits the most fundamental fact: that Siraj is no Taliban peace-maker as he paints himself, that he's behind some of most ruthless attacks of this war with many civilian lives lost — Mujib Mashal (@MujMash) February 20, 2020
And to know what our @nytimes news reporting has on Siraj Haqqqani, and what the Haqqani Network is accused of over the years, just read our years and years of reporting.

I know people have strong views on this. Sorry, I can't answer.

So feel free to write to them: letters@nytimes.com. https://t.co/jktbWgmHCG — Mujib Mashal (@MujMash) February 20, 2020
That the New York Times would give any column space at all to oxygen burglar Haqqani to legitimize his views is bad enough, but they just let him lie without the fact-checking that they seem to reserve for President Trump and anyone to the right of Karl Marx.
Haqqani had the audacity to write, “I am confident that, liberated from foreign domination and interference, we together will find a way to build an Islamic system in which all Afghans have equal rights, where the rights of women that are granted by Islam — from the right to education to the right to work — are protected, and where merit is the basis for equal opportunity.”
Tom Rogan at the Washington Examiner handles this well:
Taliban-Haqqani ideology exists at the warped intersection of extremist Sunni-Deobandi Islam, Pashtun tribal politics, and corruption. It embraces theological foundations of deception and has no regard for “merit.” Unless, that is, the merit is measured by that which fuels Taliban patronage networks and fosters vicious authoritarianism. Similarly, Haqqani might be serious in saying he wants women to have education and employment rights. But only so far as the education is in women’s responsibility to kneel to authoritarianism and their employment in absolute subservience to men. Equally absurd is his response to concerns over whether Afghanistan will remain a democracy after a peace deal is signed and American troops withdraw: “My response to such concerns is that it will depend on a consensus among Afghans.” Haqqani is both an ideological fanatic and a crime lord of drug cartel form. Under his leadership, the network has embraced criminal enterprises such as kidnap-for-ransom while adopting a wide range of money laundering operations. The incompatibility of these operations with basic tenets of Islam, including the Islam that he claims to so nobly serve, says much about the pertinence of his “consensus” prose.

As Rogan notes, it’s the concluding sentiment that deserves attention, “shared home where everybody would have the right to live with dignity, in peace.”
I’m sure that the 1700-year-old Buddhist statues that were ripped down by the Taliban back in 2001 were a sign of their commitment to unity, dignity, and peace.

clashdaily--2020-02-20--Trump Announces Richard Grenell As New Acting Director Of National Intelligence — The Left Loses It

For a guy who supposedly ‘ hates ’ women and LGBT peeps , Trump sure doesn ’ t mind putting them in positions of authority .
You ’ d think the rainbow brigade be jumping for joy that one of their own was considered for such a high office .
But because of the Trump connection , he ’ s automatically ‘ bad ’ , somehow .
Trending : Antifa Tinkerpots Don ’ t Want Their Pics Shared – So , Let ’ s Share Them Far-N-Wide The neverTrumpers are ( naturally ) busily neverTrumping and revealing their own dishonesty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know Jennifer Rubin is being deeply dishonest ?
Here are the screenshots that @ AGHamiltion29 tweeted : When there wasn ’ t a Trump connection , she was a defender of Grenell .
Gee , Jennifer , what changed your mind about him ?
It couldn ’ t possibly be your TDS , could it ?
By your own standards , doesn ’ t this tweet make you ‘ homophobic ’ ?
The Week has a very dim view of him , but at least they reported some key facts — he is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ roles until he is confirmed .
Richard Grenell , the U.S. ambassador to Berlin and President Trump ’ s new acting director of national intelligence , is not popular in Germany .
After alienating much of the country early on with diplomatic bomb-throwing , Der Spiegel wrote a year ago , “ the spotlight on Grenell seems to have grown dimmer , though not necessarily by choice .
He still tweets assiduously and he never seems to say no when Fox News calls , but in Berlin , he has largely become isolated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been shut.
” But if Berlin was excited at the prospect of getting a new U.S. ambassador , well , tough luck .
Even after he takes over as head of the 17 U.S. intelligence agencies , as early as Thursday , “ Grenell is expected to keep his current ambassadorship as long as he is acting intelligence director , ” The New York Times reports , citing one administration official , adding : “ Grenell did not respond to a request for comment.
” American ‘ News ’ sources are just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their European counterparts .
Leaving out ( most of ) the pejorative commentary , they say this : Grenell , who became Trump ’ s ambassador to Germany in 2018 , will take a job overseeing the same U.S. spy agencies that Trump has regularly scorned .
His appointment comes six months after former Indiana Sen. Dan Coats left the position following frequent clashes with Trump about the administration ’ s approach to Russia , North Korea , and other national security issues .
…Grenell will take over the top intelligence job from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ acting director since Coats ’ departure .
“ I would like to thank Joe Maguire for the wonderful job he has done , ” Trump wrote in his Twitter post on Wednesday .
“ And we look forward to working with him closely , perhaps in another capacity within the Administration !
” — USAToday What do we know about Grenell ?
He ’ s an independent-minded fighter who is on board with Trump ’ s America-First vision , has been able to say the unpopular things when the situation required it , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believes in — like the global decriminalization of homosexuality .
More than that , he ’ s gotten Bosnia and Serbia to take small steps in the direction of peace : In a statement to the Post , Grenell said he and Thaci “ spoke about the importance of making long-term decisions instead of reacting in the short term .
I was pleased that he agreed , and committed to work to end the tariffs that were recently imposed on Serbian products , ” Grenell said in a statement to The Post .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ right signals that he is serious about negotiating and help build trust between the parties.
” Bringing the leaders of Kosovo and Serbia together for a White House ceremony would be seen as a major accomplishment .
The deep-seated animosity between the Serbs and Kosovars , who are ethnic Albanians and are predominately Muslim , stretches back centuries .
One expert welcomed the increased U.S. attention on the Kosovo-Serbia issue , particularly in the context of the larger Balkans framework .
— FoxNews

For a guy who supposedly ‘hates’ women and LGBT peeps, Trump sure doesn’t mind putting them in positions of authority.
You’d think the rainbow brigade be jumping for joy that one of their own was considered for such a high office. But because of the Trump connection, he’s automatically ‘bad’, somehow.
….for the wonderful job he has done, and we look forward to working with him closely, perhaps in another capacity within the Administration! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 20, 2020
The neverTrumpers are (naturally) busily neverTrumping and revealing their own dishonesty in the process:
How do we know Jennifer Rubin is being deeply dishonest? Here are the screenshots that @AGHamiltion29 tweeted:
When there wasn’t a Trump connection, she was a defender of Grenell. Gee, Jennifer, what changed your mind about him? It couldn’t possibly be your TDS, could it?
By your own standards, doesn’t this tweet make you ‘homophobic’?
The Week has a very dim view of him, but at least they reported some key facts — he is German Ambassador and will be fielding both roles until he is confirmed.
Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Berlin and President Trump’s new acting director of national intelligence, is not popular in Germany. After alienating much of the country early on with diplomatic bomb-throwing, Der Spiegel wrote a year ago, “the spotlight on Grenell seems to have grown dimmer, though not necessarily by choice. He still tweets assiduously and he never seems to say no when Fox News calls, but in Berlin, he has largely become isolated. The powerful avoid him. Doors have been shut.”
But if Berlin was excited at the prospect of getting a new U.S. ambassador, well, tough luck. Even after he takes over as head of the 17 U.S. intelligence agencies, as early as Thursday, “Grenell is expected to keep his current ambassadorship as long as he is acting intelligence director,” The New York Times reports, citing one administration official, adding: “Grenell did not respond to a request for comment.”
American ‘News’ sources are just as loath to report this even-handedly has their European counterparts. Leaving out (most of) the pejorative commentary, they say this:
Grenell, who became Trump’s ambassador to Germany in 2018, will take a job overseeing the same U.S. spy agencies that Trump has regularly scorned. His appointment comes six months after former Indiana Sen. Dan Coats left the position following frequent clashes with Trump about the administration’s approach to Russia, North Korea, and other national security issues.
…Grenell will take over the top intelligence job from Joseph Maguire, who has served as acting director since Coats’ departure.
“I would like to thank Joe Maguire for the wonderful job he has done,” Trump wrote in his Twitter post on Wednesday. “And we look forward to working with him closely, perhaps in another capacity within the Administration!” — USAToday
What do we know about Grenell?
He’s an independent-minded fighter who is on board with Trump’s America-First vision, has been able to say the unpopular things when the situation required it, and has pressed for important causes he believes in — like the global decriminalization of homosexuality.
More than that, he’s gotten Bosnia and Serbia to take small steps in the direction of peace:
In a statement to the Post, Grenell said he and Thaci “spoke about the importance of making long-term decisions instead of reacting in the short term. I was pleased that he agreed, and committed to work to end the tariffs that were recently imposed on Serbian products,” Grenell said in a statement to The Post. “This move would help send the right signals that he is serious about negotiating and help build trust between the parties.”
Bringing the leaders of Kosovo and Serbia together for a White House ceremony would be seen as a major accomplishment. The deep-seated animosity between the Serbs and Kosovars, who are ethnic Albanians and are predominately Muslim, stretches back centuries.
One expert welcomed the increased U.S. attention on the Kosovo-Serbia issue, particularly in the context of the larger Balkans framework. — FoxNews


clashdaily--2020-02-20--Watch: AOC On ‘The View’ Says That The Political System Is ‘Made For White Men’ — Is That Racist?

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( D-NY ) joined the Coven on “ The View ” and it was just as awful as you could imagine .
Sunny Hostin , also known as Joy Behar 2.0 , started the ball rolling by allowing the Representative for New York ’ s 14th Congressional district to give a ringing endorsement to Bernie Sanders who is running to be the Democratic nominee for President .
I wonder if that segment is going to have to be listed as an in-kind contribution .
Joy Behar , who bears such illustrious titles as The View ‘ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Termagant , and Bitter Old Biddy , began with a heavy dose of ass-kissing to the younger shrill socialist shrew joining them at the table to push leftism .
Behar practically squeed with delight as she bowed and scraped to the Future Of The Democratic Party™ .
“ Let me talk about you for a second .
You are a star yourself .
It ’ s almost like you ’ re running [ for President . ]
” gushed Behar .
Trending : Antifa Tinkerpots Don ’ t Want Their Pics Shared – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Far-N-Wide AOC used her classic “ upspeak ” to respond , and of course , she blames racism , sexism , and classism .
She said , “ Our political system is not designed for people like us .
They ’ re not designed for working people to succeed , for young people , for women , for people of color .
It ’ s not particularly welcoming .
And historically , to have someone like that ascend , especially when I was running against someone who was the antithesis of those things… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ political system revolves , frankly , around rich men .
Rich men are not the center of my universe , working families are , and that is controversial.
” Here ’ s the TL ; DR version of that clip because AOC ’ s voice is rather grating .
Women are increasingly represented at all levels of government and well… AOC is famous now because she ’ s now a Congresswoman .
Daily Wire contributor Harry Khachatrian tweeted , “ Says woman who went from earning below $ 50,000/year as a bartender to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” She reported it as $ 26,581 per year when she filed her Congressional financial disclosure and now she ’ s living in the swanky digs in DC ’ s Navy Yards and tried to get herself a raise .
AOC had a whole lot to say about a whole lot of things and it was predictably stupid .
Behar went on to ask about Bernie ’ s health records .
Here is Occasional-Cortex , the “ Democratic Socialist ” Bernie surrogate , weighing in on a moderate *cough* opportunist *cough* billionaire joining @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the dramatic economic shift toward socialism under Bernie and the abusive , toxic Bernie Bros. Whoopi then addresses the elephant in the room — AOC ’ s divisiveness .
But AOC dismisses that and instead says that the “ ancestors and elders ” should always be acknowledged… …she clearly doesn ’ t believe that .
She ’ s making lists of moderate Democrats to primary them for voting the “ wrong ” way , refused to pay her DCCC dues to fund sufficiently “ progressive ” candidates , and got into a catfight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , she ’ s the boss !
Meghan McCain reminds AOC that she said that she wouldn ’ t be in the same party as Joe Biden if this was Europe .
That ’ s true — AOC would be joining the Corbynites and their blatant anti-Semitism .

that she ’ s spreading all over the place , but she does believe her own hype .

In a federal lawsuit filed last week , a Jane Doe inmate at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said that after being sexually assaulted in June 2019 , she was coerced by a supervisory officer into denying the attack took place and then punished for filing a “ false ” complaint under the Prison Rape Elimination Act ( PREA ) .

In criminal justice, the price is even higher.
An inmate at Illinois’ largest women’s prison says she was raped by a transgender inmate who was transferred into her housing unit last year, and claims Illinois Department of Corrections officials conducted a “sham investigation” to help cover up the incident.

The suit names Logan’s acting warden Beatrice Calhoun as a defendant, along with officers Brent Keeler and Todd Sexton.
“The transfer of transgender inmates from male to female prisons has been a contentious policy within IDOC,” the plaintiff’s Peoria-based attorneys wrote in a five-page complaint. “In an attempt to justify the transfers, Defendants Sexton, Calhoun, Keeler and currently other unknown IDOC employees covered up the sexual assault of Plaintiff and tried to falsely classify it as consensual, to keep it from being considered a PREA violation.”
Two transgender inmates who were housed in men’s prisons, Strawberry Hampton and Janiah Monroe, have sued IDOC separately in recent years, demanding they be moved to Logan because they’d allegedly been the target of sexual harassment and abuse from male inmates and prison employees. Alan Mills, who leads the Uptown People’s Law Center – a Chicago-based legal group, which has represented both Hampton and Monroe – confirmed Monroe is the inmate who is being accused in this case, though he was dismissive of the allegations against her. — WTTW

The plaintiff said she was “coerced into providing this statement” and filed a grievance with IDOC soon after regarding that interview. She was then relocated about 40 miles away to the Decatur Correctional Center.
