[DavidWarrenOnline] If Mohammed bin Salman can stay alive and in power, many things become possible, that were not possible before.
In Egypt, the Saudi prince said many surprising things, widely reported in Arabic media but ignored here. He visited not only Al Azhar (the citadel of learned, moderate Sunni Islam), but also the Coptic pope (Tawadros II) at St Mark’s; and invited Copts to visit his country. He allowed a photo-op under a pictorial representation of Jesus Christ. This was previously unthinkable. It bodes well for Christian minorities in Saudi Arabia itself, and across the region. (God bless that Jewish boy, Kushner, for his part in this.)
Something large and potentially very positive is happening, and yet it is ignored by our media, obsessed instead with tabloid things that are small, dirty, and inconsequential.

...A dear friend of mine - grew up in Brooklyn - had a slightly different version, always said in that amazing accent: "...and if my aunt had ball$, she'd be my uncle."

I guess my version - common in Israel, was cleaned up for kids.
[KCNAWATCH.CO] The U.S. recently declared that it would impose sanctions on 56 designations -- 27 shipping and trading companies, 28 vessels and one individual of the DPRK and other countries -- under the pretext of preventing the DPRK from "attempting at evasion of sanctions" and of stopping illegal means that can help the transactions with the DPRK in the open sea.
A commentary of Rodong Sinmun Saturday denounces the U.S. for staging the farce, not content with cooking up illegal "sanctions resolutions" to stamp out the DPRK's illusory sovereignty and rights to existence and development by abusing the UN Security Council.
This is an open violation of international laws and an encroachment upon the illusory sovereignty of the DPRK, the commentary says, and goes on:
By nature, the U.S., out of inveterate repugnancy against the DPRK, goes ill-natured whenever it sees things going well in the DPRK.
But the U.S. could not stop the DPRK from making a dash toward the final victory in building a powerful socialist nation.
What matters is that the U.S. sanctions and blockade are very dangerous acts that may bring a war.
The U.S. tries to isolate and stifle the DPRK through sanctions and blockade and weaken it in a bid to bring it under control with ease.
It is now making desperate efforts to stifle the DPRK while getting keen on the racket for sanctions and military pressure on the DPRK. But the army and the people of the DPRK will never be browbeaten.
Neither military force nor sanctions and blockade can ever work on the DPRK, stresses the commentary.

...Well, my first thought is that we know damned well that the Nork people aren't hearing about the Upcoming Meeting, and if they are they're being told that we have begged for said Meeting to avoid being beaten, and afterwards it will be presented to them as an abject US surrender. We'll see a lot of stories like this in the coming weeks.

That's it? No sea of fire, no insults, no bile and spittle? Dang, I miss the good ol' days.
[DW] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey's offensive on Afrin will oust the "terrorist menace" and will ensure the return of Syrian refugees - that's been the message of President Erdogan. He's catering to his voters,
"We are not in a position to continue hosting 3.5 million refugees forever. We'll solve the Afrin situation ... and we would like our refugee brothers and sisters to return to their own country," President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey... declared earlier this month, speaking to provincial leaders at his presidential palace.

[Breitbart] On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s "Hardball," NBC anchor Megyn Kelly previewed her forthcoming NBC special "Confronting Putin" and stated that she thinks "there’s a very good chance Putin knows some things about Donald Trump that Mr. Trump does not want repeated publicly."
Kelly said, "I would not say that Putin likes Trump. I did not glean that at all from him. I do think ‐ I did glean that perhaps he has something on Donald Trump. And if you watch the special tonight, you’ll see perhaps what that might be. Because we’ve done a lot of research. It’s not just Vladimir Putin tonight. It’s a lot of experts who understand Putin and Trump and the relationship between the two. And so, when I was asking him, why do you think Donald Trump never says anything unkind about you ever? I think it’s more than just he admires this Russian strongman, Chris. I think there’s a very good chance Putin knows some things about Donald Trump that Mr. Trump does not want repeated publicly."
She added that she doesn’t think Putin has anything on Trump related to the Steele Dossier, and "[J]ust having done the research we did for this piece and this investigative report, I think it has to do with money, and Trump’s early years dealing with the Russians back in the ’90s, his facilities here in the United States."

So we are supposed to believe NBC "hunches" now, with nothing specific and no evidence? The same sort of people that brought us Russian Collusion that never went anywhere, the Dan Rather record for feeding the American Public the Wonderful Weenie?
Ms Kelly can go hump somebody else. Hummahumma.

How do you fight vile innuendo? I don't know - but, I betcha, the Don does.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
