Trump Engineered Middle East Peace

Every administration from Truman to the current one has been neck deep in the Middle East .
Truman recognized the nation .
Nixon saved it during the 1973 Yom Kippur War .
Carter ushered in the Camp David Accords .
Reagan was a staunch ally to Israel but Clinton got conned by the PLO and Yasser Arafat .
But only one president has stood by Israel and by doing so made comprehensive peace in the region .
That president is Donald Trump .
The recent Trump brokered Abraham Accords have seen tensions lowered , diplomatic relations established , and peace @ @ @ @ @ @ @ UAE , Bahrain , and Sudan .
This protects our 5th Fleet in Bahrain and lowers the security temperature across the area .
The Saudis and the Egyptians have been working together with Israel for years on security .
Security against what ?
Iran .
And it ’ s paying off as the Iranians are becoming encircled by American and Israeli allied nations that form a bulwark against Iranian aggression .
“ History will reflect favorably on President Trump ’ s foreign policy initiatives , due in large part to the U.S. brokered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in normalizing relations in the Middle East and promoting a mentality of peace that will extend far beyond his presidency , ” Former Deputy National Security Adviser K.T .
McFarland said Sunday , according to Fox News .
“ In the Middle East particularly , I mean this is a significant achievement , that we really don ’ t even know how good this is more because more countries are joining…It ’ s the first peace agreement between Israel and Arabs in not just 10 or 20 , it ’ s like a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has done , as everybody was paying attention elsewhere , he was able to craft an agreement and convince the Arabs that their only sort of prosperity platform , the only way they could get to peace and prosperity , was by having a peace agreement with Israel…it ’ s Israel and the Arab states that are really united against what they see is potentially a Biden administration going in to enable Iran.

Trump’s Foreign Policy Was On Point
The recent Trump brokered Abraham Accords have seen tensions lowered, diplomatic relations established, and peace made between Israel and Morroco, the UAE, Bahrain, and Sudan. This protects our 5th Fleet in Bahrain and lowers the security temperature across the area.
The Saudis and the Egyptians have been working together with Israel for years on security. Security against what? Iran. And it’s paying off as the Iranians are becoming encircled by American and Israeli allied nations that form a bulwark against Iranian aggression.
“History will reflect favorably on President Trump’s foreign policy initiatives, due in large part to the U.S. brokered Abraham Accords which have made great strides in normalizing relations in the Middle East and promoting a mentality of peace that will extend far beyond his presidency,” Former Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland said Sunday, according to Fox News.
McFarland Doubles Down
McFarland added:
“In the Middle East particularly, I mean this is a significant achievement, that we really don’t even know how good this is more because more countries are joining…It’s the first peace agreement between Israel and Arabs in not just 10 or 20, it’s like a couple of thousand years… What President Trump has done, as everybody was paying attention elsewhere, he was able to craft an agreement and convince the Arabs that their only sort of prosperity platform, the only way they could get to peace and prosperity, was by having a peace agreement with Israel…it’s Israel and the Arab states that are really united against what they see is potentially a Biden administration going in to enable Iran.”
“His (Biden’s plan) would “enable Iran to have nuclear weapons, enable Iran to support terrorist movements,” McFarland said. But the diplomatic achievements of the Trump administration have been so great, so deep, that “I don’t think even the Biden administration can screw that one up.”
Trump Was The Ultimate Deal Maker
How many times has the entire region seemed like a Gordian knot? Presidents, members of Congress, foreign players, the superpowers during the Cold War, and myriad others tried to get a handle on this issue.
But only Trump, the deal maker, the master negotiator, made it work. He did so by starting out with a firm commitment to Israel, a realization of the Iranian threat, and the ability to convince several Arab nations they could have peace and prosperity if only they dropped their intransigence towards Israel.
They did. The results will be excellent. The president gets the credit.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-12-30--Alyssa Milano Claims Masks ‘Will Protect You More Than An AR-15 Will’ – Immediately Gets Shut Down

Hollywood star-turned-radically liberal activist Alyssa Milano took to Twitter this week to claim that masks are a better form of protection than AR-15s are , but it did not take long for this ridiculous statement to blow up in her face .
Milano Says Masks Are A Better Form Of Protection Than AR-15s “ Anti-maskers are the same people who think they need an AR-15 for ‘ protection , ' ” Milano tweeted on Tuesday .
“ LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK : A MASK WILL PROTECT YOU *MORE* THAN AN AR-15 WILL.
” Milano is essentially trying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is better protection for someone than an automatic rifle is .
While it ’ s true that masks are a better form of protection against the coronavirus pandemic , literally nobody was trying to say that AR-15s were effective at warding off the virus , so this tweet was clearly just a condescending attack on Americans who own guns .
Unfortunately for Milano , her tweet backfired when a litany of Twitter users responded by ruthlessly roasting her .
“ Those tools are for very different kinds of threats , ” Washington Free @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ I own both AR-15s and KN-95s .
I don ’ t see any conflict in that whatsoever.
” “ Surely I ’ m not the only person in America who believes wearing a mask helps reduce virus spread and firearms protect from those who wish you harm , ” added Washington Examiner reporter Kimberly Ross .
“ Uh , they could theoretically both protect you against different things .
Is there a reason you think these two things are mutually exclusive ?
Or related in any logical way at all ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ another adding , “ I guess you can strangle bad guys with your mask.
” Related : Alyssa Milano Claims Ivanka Trump Called Her A ‘ Hero ’ Years Ago – Blasts Her As An ‘ Enabler To Her Father ’ Arguably the best response came from the Daily Wire , which could not resist having some fun at Milano ’ s expense .
Milano ’ s tweet is yet another example of the dripping condescension with which Hollywood liberal elites treat pro-gun Americans with conservative values .
Milano and her fellow Hollywood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in movies and television shows that glorify gun violence , yet they then want to strip their fellow Americans of their Second Amendment rights as much as possible .
Their hypocrisy is truly staggering .

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that COVID vaccines would be given to drug addicts in rehabilitation facilities prior to elderly citizens living outside of nursing homes .
The declaration came during a press conference in Albany , New York on Monday .
It is a curious decision considering the governor is currently embroiled in a scandal in which he has been accused of taking actions that led to thousands of unnecessary deaths of senior citizens .
Cuomo ’ s logic is based on getting the vaccine to people in ‘ congregate ’ locations such as those in facilities operated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Supports , or OASAS .
“ These are congregate facilities .
Congregate facilities are problematic .
That ’ s where you have a lot of people in concentration , ” he said .
“ Nursing homes are obviously the most problematic because they ’ re congregate plus older , vulnerable people , ” Cuomo continued .

’ Cuomo Criticized For Prioritizing Drug Addicts Over The Elderly Governor Andrew Cuomo was quickly eviscerated for his plan to inoculate drug addicts before the elderly .
Rep. Elise Stefanik called the New York Democrat an “ absolute disgrace ” and the “ worst governor in America ” over the move .
“ The Worst Governor in America streak continues , ” the Republican congresswoman tweeted .
“ This time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of thousands of seniors who have been homebound since the start of the pandemic .
An absolute disgrace.
” Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean , whose husband ’ s parents were both victims of COVID-19 , and in whom nursing homes in New York played a part , also offered commentary .
Former New York Post columnist Fred Dicker posted a claim from a “ longtime radio listener ” that they were appalled that a nursing home in Albany County had yet to receive their vaccinations when Cuomo announced the rehab center prioritization @ @ @ @ @ @ @ biggest nursing homes in Albany County , filled with at-risk seniors , still hasn ’ t gotten the vaccine , same with assisted living , and Cuomo is giving it to drug addicts ?
” the listener claimed .
Dean replied by pointing out that it isn ’ t just drug addicts , but “ members of Congress and their staff members are cutting the line ” as well .
RELATED : Janice Dean Demands Cuomo Be Held Accountable For COVID Deaths As NY Governor Blames ‘ Super-Spreader ’ Trump New York City @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also criticized putting drug addicts in front of the elderly or those with underlying conditions .

” Last week , Dean obliterated Governor Cuomo after he alleged Santa would be good to him on Christmas because he “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hard to help kill seniors , jobs and New York State in general ?
” she fired back .
Cuomo famously issued an executive order forcing nursing homes to take on patients that had tested positive for coronavirus .
The order prohibited facilities from requiring incoming patients “ to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission , ” and may have contributed to well over 6,600 deaths in New York .
“ ordered over 6,000 Covid patients into nursing homes for 46 days , didn ’ t use the Javits Center @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the federal government , and is still lying about the total number of seniors that died from it , ” tweeted Dean .
Cuomo , the leader of a state which had by far the highest number of COVID-related deaths of which seniors suffered a disproportionate percentage , is currently selling a book about how he conquered the pandemic .
The percentage of New Yorkers who tested positive for COVID-19 went from 5.8 percent to 8.3 percent over the three-day Christmas weekend .

“The number of bullets that must have been flying around our neighborhoods, city streets, sidewalks — it’s awful,” he said.
Chaos Started With Death Of George Floyd
Chaos has reigned supreme in Portland ever since the death of George Floyd, who died in police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota back in May.
Police in Portland have been forced to ask the community for help in the wake of their gun violence reduction team being disbanded over the summer due to activists and gun control activists said that the bureau was guilty of racism in “stopping people of color disproportionately to others.”
Pashley went on to say that “[s]ocial services, government organizations, non-government organizations, church based [organizations]” are of utmost importance “so that people feel as if they have support and options other than to act out violently.”

President Trump unleashed on Senate Republicans Tuesday afternoon , demanding they approve his call for $ 2,000 stimulus checks for the American people unless they have a “ death wish.

“ Unless Republicans have a death wish , and it is also the right thing to do , they must approve the $ 2000 payments ASAP , ” Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ENOUGH !

On Monday night , former attorney for President Donald Trump , Michael Cohen , warned his former boss about the large number of pardons he has been issuing as his time in the White House winds down .
Cohen , who pled guilty to lying to Congress , claimed that the pardons may ultimately be used against the President .
Cohen made his comments live via house arrest on MSNBC .
MSNBC host Ari Melbere brought up Trump ’ s many pardons seemed to irritate Cohen , who had been a loyalist to the Republican president before his legal troubles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these people should be receiving pardons ?
Absolutely not , ” Cohen said .
Cohen said Trump was trading “ political favors and money ” for pardons .
“ I would have received one had I agreed not to come out , not to speak truth to power , ” the attorney insisted .
After plugging his book , Cohen predicted how Trump ’ s last month in office would unfold .

On Monday night, former attorney for President Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, warned his former boss about the large number of pardons he has been issuing as his time in the White House winds down.
Cohen, who pled guilty to lying to Congress, claimed that the pardons may ultimately be used against the President.
Cohen made his comments live via house arrest on MSNBC.

Cohen Opposes Trump’s Pardons
MSNBC host Ari Melbere brought up Trump’s many pardons seemed to irritate Cohen, who had been a loyalist to the Republican president before his legal troubles.
“Do I think any of these people should be receiving pardons? Absolutely not,” Cohen said.

Cohen said Trump was trading “political favors and money” for pardons.
“I would have received one had I agreed not to come out, not to speak truth to power,” the attorney insisted.
After plugging his book, Cohen predicted how Trump’s last month in office would unfold.
“That’s when he’ll probably try to drop the pardon power for Jared, Don, Ivanka, Eric, [Trump Organization CFO] Allen Weisselberg, whoever he thinks will possibly get a federal indictment,” Cohen said.
He then added, “This produces a very significant problem for Donald Trump in the fact that once you receive that pardon power, once you get that pardon, you’re no longer able to invoke the Fifth Amendment, your right against self-incrimination, because you cannot be charged.”

Presidential ally, on the check amount issue, Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont is holding the National Defense Authorization Act, the bill that pays and funds the military, hostage to getting what he and the president want on the stimulus bill: a $2000 check amount to each qualifying American.
Chaos Over Stimulus Bill
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has another plan in mind with a lower amount, but with what the president has said he wants on Section 230 and foreign aid payments.
But the White House signaled Tuesday it doesn’t put much emphasis on 230 or on the hundreds of millions spent on payments to foreign governments anymore. It is determined to get that check amount as a first priority, even if a Sanders filibuster on NDAA drags Georgia GOP candidates Senators Loeffler and Perdue back to DC to break the logjam.
It all works out for Sanders. Republican candidates hurt and the check amount the Socialist Senator wants. And the president going along with it all. Well played, comrade.

Sanders Focuses On Defense Funding Bill
And his best offense seems to be a focus on defense — the defense funding bill.
Sanders posted that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has made it clear he wants to pass the defense bill despite President Trump’s veto, and an override attempt is slated for later Tuesday. The House took the first step to override the president’s veto of the $740 billion National Defense Authorization Act on Monday in a 322-87 vote…

Trump Doubles Down
Trump doubled down on the $2000, regardless of the effect on the Georgia runoffs.
“As President, I have told Congress that I want far less wasteful spending and more money going to the American people in the form of $2,000 checks per adult and $600 per child,” he tweeted. “Much more money is coming. I will never give up my fight for the American people!”
