Your Middle East Peace and Novel Progress Update for 9/17/20

Powerline has a compilation clip of all the foreign policy jet-setters telling us how Trump's moving the embassy to Jerusalem makes peace far less likely and may indeed lead to war. Do watch, and do enjoy. There's even talk of the so-called 'Arab street'. Remember that from the post 9/11 months? The 'Arab street' was the Enron of violent threats. What have these people gotten right in the last 30 years? 

Don Surbur writes about Tom Freidman who still has the gall to opine on foreign policy and the Middle East. After the Second Intifada, which the Israelis ended by bulldozing a terrorist enclave till it looked like a set for a Hiroshima live-action retrospective, this elitist pustule said the 'peace process' could resume because Arafat showed he could make trouble and Sharon showed he couldn't get away with it. Friedman's never been right about anything. Remember the Freidman Unit? The Tom Friedman article generator?

We admit to not really thinking about what the Abraham Accords mean for Bibi. We can't really say what his domestic legacy will be, we're not there, after all. He has a strong economy to his credit. There's also the exploitation of the Leviathan natural gas field, which will make Israel an energy titan. Bibi's got a couple of military victories under his belt. Also he destroyed the Labour Party. Nobody deserved it more. We don't like the way he's handled social issues. We'll call his domestic record 'mixed'. But the Abraham Accords, well, these are downright biblical. Bibi is the undisputed master of Israeli politics, now and for all time.

The Feds monitoring our internet searches probably freaked out yesterday. We spent a couple of hours researching US Navy nuclear reactors. In The Great Nuclear War of 1975, the government is going to dock nuclear vessels and draw power from their reactors. the Enterprise  could generate a couple hundred megawatts. Go on...'I am looking for American nuclear wessel! Anyone know how much that could actually power? 

Between our quest for information about navy reactors and collusion with the GRU we expect to be visited by Federal goons today. Don't worry. We have a plan.

The first half of World War 1990: The Final Storm is really coming together. Lots of good progress this week on preparation for the attack front, cabinet meetings, arguing between Baker and Wolfowitz, that sort of thing.

Trump to Somali Princess: Drop Dead

Head Trumpologist Don Surber explains perfectly what Trump is doing. We urge reader(s) to read the whole thing.

What Trump said about Omar and the rest of Pelosi's Gang of Four is what normal people think: If America is so bad go back to Somalia.

Pelosi's Gang of Four don't look sympathetic, they look like America hating communists.

Yesterday Somalia's Own refused to condemn Al Qaida or the Antifa terror attack in Washington State. In a few days Pelosi and the Democrats will vote to defend these cretins after refusing to condemn the rabid, frothing Jew hatred of Mogadishu's Finest.

The more the Democrats and the media talk about Ms. Venezuela and the Somali Princess the better for Donald Trump:

More than 74% of voters in the poll recognized Ocasio-Cortez, with 22% of people surveyed holding a favorable view. One of the New York Democrat’s colleague, Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, received a similar level of fanfare among those polled. She was recognized by 53% of the voters, with 9% of people holding a favorable view of her.

The poll, which was shared to Axios on the condition of anonymity, shows swing voters don’t think much of Ocasio-Cortez’s brand of Democratic socialism. Socialism was viewed favorably by 18% of the voters and unfavorably by 69%.

Trump is playing chess against a bunch of 6 year-olds who can't figure out where the checkers go in the Connect-Four slots.

Hell No! We wont let Go!

Bush consiglieri Karl Rove argues that President Trump should just 'move on' from the Mueller fake probe.

Don Surber makes the same point we've been meaning to make for a few days now, 'Hell no.'

This is war, W, Rove and company never understood that. The Dems kneecapped W's second term with the phony Plame investigation and blamed Katrina on him. Then they spent three years trying to lose the war in Iraq.

Magnanimity in victory over Mueller? We think not.

Now is the time for subpoenas, hearings and plea bargains to expose the greatest political scandal in American history, the weaponization of the National Security State by the Obama administration against the political opposition.

USA Today is Decadent and Depraved

Senior Trumpologist Don Surber tells us that USA Today wants to hear from Trump supporters:

"Are you a Trump supporter? We want to hear from you!"

Oh joy. That is mighty white of them, reaching out to us deplorables.

From the text:

You can answer one, or more, of the following questions:

Why did you initially back Donald Trump's presidential bid in 2016, and what has he done to keep your support?
What is the biggest misconception (or assumption) people make when they find out you are a Trump supporter?
Would you stop supporting President Trump if he did anything in particular? Why? Why not?
Oh, thank you Great Big Newspaper for allowing us to explain ourselves as if we were members of a primitive tribe.

Of course we have taken up the challenge:

To the staff, editorial board, and ownership of USA Today:

Your little request for Trump supporters to write you and explain why they like Trump and why they would stop liking Trump is astonishing. You're really just trying to figure out what fake news you can run to whittle us away from the president. It's obvious and sad.

You've offended the wrong kind of Americans, USA Today. Nevertheless, I will stoop to answer you asinine questions.

To answer your first question, "Why did you initially back Donald Trump's presidential bid in 2016, and what has he done to keep your support?" I support Donald Trump because I hate you, USA Today, your staff, editorial board and ownership, and I know his existence, as dose mine, offends you. You wake up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is president. That fact not only galls, it hurts, it gives you stress. No doubt some of USA Today’s employees have sought psychotherapy because of Trump. Trump’s occupancy of the White House lowers your life expectancy. This makes me happy.

Your second question reveals so much about you, USA Today. "What is the biggest misconception (or assumption) people make when they find out you are a Trump supporter?" That's half the country you just tried to treat like gorillas in the mists of Africa. USA Today is not Jane Goodall and we Normal American Trump supporters are not gorillas. Simply put USA Today, you’re all bigots. You see, USA Today, my friends and neighbors know I support the president. Some of them do, but most of them don’t. But unlike USA Today and the media, where everyone has to think the same thing, my friends and neighbors simply say, ‘Oh, you like Trump and I don’t. Can you take the girls for a couple of hours?’. We talk about Trump. We joke about Trump, actually. Unlike USA Today, myself, friends and neighbors love America and we respect one another and can move on from mere politics.

Your third question, "Would you stop supporting President Trump if he did anything in particular? Why? Why not?" is arrogant and condescending. Yes, yes we all no Trump is no angel. Of course USA Today and the media knew all about Matt Lauer and Charlie Rose and god knows who else, yet lectures us Normal Americans on sexual morality. Crap like this is why your readership is a fraction of what it was 20 years ago and why I enjoy the pain, suffering and slow death of your industry.

Decorum prevents me from writing what I really want to happen to you, but I will say this, USA Today, go to hell.

By publishing this piece, you agree to pay the author $250. I don’t write anything on spec or for free.

Sincerely, William Stroock

The Clintoning

Well we never thought we'd see this happen.

Led by Millennial know-it-all Matt Yglesias at Vox, the left is finally noticing that Bill Clinton is a sexual predator. Yglesias even admits Clinton should have resigned after Drudge busted him.

Well duh.

There are many reasons for this change of heart.

Vox editor Ezra Klein used to run a private email list called Journolist, where journalists coordinated their messaging, and we strongly suspect he's leading a similar effort. For example, After Trump's RNC speech last year numerous journalists and pundits started referring to his 'dark vision'.

The left knows that it's in big trouble with Harvey Weinstein, Hollywood, Al Franken, etc. This is really nothing new. We joke here about Kennedy, Clinton, Edwards, Spitzer, Weiner, and now Franken. These are Democrats acting like Democrats as the indefatigable Robert Stacey McCain says.

How can Dems criticize Roy Moore when, well, see above.

These were the people who just a few months ago were mocking Vice President Pence for never being along with a woman other than his wife. Sound policy. One of our editors was a woman our age and when we'd meet up to work people would look at us funny.

Our official stance on Roy Moore is Bill Clinton. That's actually what we said when a relative asked us what we thought of Roy Moore. After watching Bill Clinton wag his dick at everything in a skirt the last 20 years, we just don't care.

There's also a civil war between the Clinton and Obama factions and sexual assault allegations are a great way to take out the Clintons. The young hip Millennial types, like the young, hip Millennials at Vox, prefer Barry to Hillary!

All too convenient. Oh now you think Clinton should resign. As the great Don Surber just wrote, sorry Dems, you don't get your virginity back.

Maybe Pence had a point

It's a Beautiful Wall, and it's Gonna be There

Watch, people. And substitute 'wall' for 'bridge'.

Look people, we don't know if it's battered wife syndrome. We don't know if it's jaded lover syndrome. We don't know if it's a matter of our public school system being so deteriorated that people just don't speak English anymore.

Whatever the reason, we have a failure to communicate. So repeat after us: There. Is. No. Deal.

That is there is no deal in which Trump traded away the wall for DACA.

We quote the great Don Surber who opines:

Being bullish, I read it as an admission by Democrats that the wall is non-negotiable. Off the table. President Trump has the authority to build the wall, and he will.

He goes on to say:

This was what was meant by "excluding the wall" because President Trump told them the wall was non-negotiable. Show some faith, OK? He did not seek election to sell you out.

Trump tweeted that there's no deal and that any deal would have to include massive border security. Here is said tweet:

Trump sent our a massive email last night in which he said there is no deal:

WE WILL BUILD A WALL (NOT A FENCE) ALONG THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO HELP STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND KEEP AMERICA SAFE.

Last night the House passed a budget with 1.6 billion for a border wall.

That's three strong pieces of evidence against Trump making a deal.

Channeling Surber again:
