Trump Campaigns For Bibi. The ‘Giveaway of the Century’. Two self-appointed ‘strongmen’ flexing their muscles with the Palestinians as the inevitable losers. An excerpt:
Three years after he said that peace in the Middle East was “not as difficult as people have thought,” President Donald Trump unveiled a lopsided plan that gives Israel much of what it has long sought and imposes daunting requirements on the Palestinians before negotiations can even begin. The President described his plan, orchestrated by his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, as “the last opportunity” for a Palestinian state. Yet it fails to address many of the problems that led to the collapse of earlier peace initiatives. The plan calls for a two-state solution, but largely in name only. It grants Israel’s long-standing demands on settlements and borders, security, Jerusalem, and refugees. Israel will have the right to annex parts of the West Bank that it now occupies, significantly reducing and further dividing Palestinian territory. It gets control of Jerusalem as its “undivided” capital. And it will assume security control over the entire West Bank, the Jordan River Valley, and Jerusalem. The Palestinians will be left with a proto-state that is physically divided, economically challenged, and possibly not viable as a modern country. Trump’s plan also lacks diplomatic energy—with no formal mechanism to get the two sides together—or any sense of urgency, since it offers a vague four-year window for the Palestinians to complete a long list of preconditions just to talk with Israel.

Falwell Wants West Virginia To Annex Liberty University And Some Trump-Red Counties. There are, to put it mildly, impediments. If I had any power in Virginia, I would be looking at every fucking tax break that that phony institution of higher learning gets. If Junior still wants to leave Virginia, let him pay to move everything, including the water slide.
Trump And Facebook: The Perfect Reelection Team. You’ve all seen those ads. ‘Take This Poll’. The D’s had better up their game. And, if elected, a D President has to move to break up this disinformation juggernaut.
Trump & Dershowitz Have Jeffrey Epstein In Common. Meaning, they both have plenty of dirt on each other. A legal arrangement engineered in Hell.
