[The Hill] Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden on Thursday defended former FBI Director James Comey's efforts to publicly disclose memos of his interactions with President Trump.
"Even if details leaked by the FBI Director fell under confidentiality obligations, the public's need to know here is the superior obligation," Snowden wrote on Twitter.
Comey acknowledged in a bombshell testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee earlier Thursday that he had authorized a friend to share with a reporter the content of a personal memo detailing a conversation between him and Trump.
The memo, which Comey wrote contemporaneously, documented his Oval Office meeting with Trump in February when the president allegedly asked him to drop the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
[TOWNHALL] The most significant revelation that came out of the most recent London massacre of disarmed British subjects was not the bloodshed itself, but the pathetic sissy whining, in the midst of throats being slashed, at the Brit who refused to adhere to the comforting lie that the Moslems doing the slashing in the name of Allah were not Moslems doing the slashing in the name of Allah.
The left would rather you lie and die than tell the truth and live.
It’s exhausting being lied to 24/7 about the big issues, and don’t start with the "but what about Trump?" nonsense because...well, what about Trump?
Does Trump pretend that the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... has nothing to do with Islam because to admit the Islamic State has something to do with Islam is an admission that the unquestionable idea underlying multiculturalism ‐ that every culture is wonderful except the Western culture that brought about 95 percet of the learning and science that is making the grinding poverty and disease that was heretofore man’s fate a thing of the past ‐ is an utter fraud?

Yea, well, first they came for the Jews - and you all thought it's a smashingly good idea.
The European Commission extended its series of reflection papers on the future of Europe with a paper on offering scenarios for closer defense cooperation. "The Transatlantic relationship is evolving. The onus of improving European security lies first of all in European hands," says the document, signed by two Commission Vice Presidents, Federica Mogherini and Jyrki Katainen.
This statement echoes German Chancellor Angela Merkel's recent comments about the need for Europeans to take their destiny into their own hands, and Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker's words last year that "Europe can no longer afford to piggy-back on the military might of others."
Defense self-sufficiency is easier to discuss than to achieve. The European Union, including the UK, spends less than half on defense than the US. One way to close the gap is for the 21 countries within the EU that are also NATO members to increase military spending to 2 percent of economic output, something that Trump demands as a condition of further US protection. The Commission offers an alternative: Better coordination of defense spending and establishing a single market for the military industry, which would foster competition and eventually lead to a more manageable arsenal (currently, EU armies use 178 weapon systems compared with 30 in the US).
An alternative to NATO is also necessary because the alliance is no longer a comfortable framework for northern European countries, whose relations with a key NATO member, Turkey, have cooled in recent months. On Wednesday, Germany announced it would be moving its 260 personnel and its reconnaissance planes to Jordan from Turkey's Incirlik airbase, where they've been stationed to conduct reconnaissance flights over Syria. The Turkish government wouldn't let German parliament members visit the troops at Incirlik because of numerous political disagreements with Germany, so Merkel's cabinet retaliated. It has also led several European countries in rejecting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's invitation to hold the next NATO summit in Istanbul.

Let 'em talk all they want. The fact is that they no longer have the will to defend themselves, and even if they did the Soviets Russians could be marching straight to the Rhine, but the bureaucrats will still be arguing over the regulations covering button size on the uniforms.

Cause they wouldn't be able to conquer Israel anyway?

If the Islamic troops were smart they'd settle down for another five years. Promote their own to behave and join the various militaries (german, Italian) and learn as much as they can.
I think they got over confident early and the results will be bad for them (and bad for Europe, naturally).
[American Thinker] He pleaded the case of a loyal soldier, rather than forsake retired U.S. Army lieutenant general Michael Flynn to the mercies of FBI director James Comey. And he asked for loyalty from the congenitally disloyal. You'll agree: President Donald Trump is being indicted on technicalities and on personal style.
Distill the president's unremarkable actions, subject to a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, and it becomes clear that the establishment ‐ for sensible people outside the Beltway have dissociated from the Russia-collusion phantasmagoria ‐ is indicting Trump on the plain, impolitic speech that catapulted him from candidate to president.
Trump is "aggressive and oblivious to the rules of engagement," fumed CNN's sibilant Chris Cillizza, formerly of the Washington Post. Correct. But was the language of combat you deployed, Mr. Cillizza, a Freudian slip?
The president's linguistic infelicities ‐ a word salad, at times ‐ have given the press popinjays and their Washington overlords the foothold needed to go after him. Throw in the "bad" habits of a businessman he has retained. Trump transacts with everyone ‐ Russians, too. We voted for deals, not wars.
This is the sum and substance of President Trump's offenses ‐ and beating Hillary Clinton to the White House.
Proponents of free markets understand how business operates. Statists don't. To the statist, the Fake News fabricator, and the stark raving mad Washington Post (WaPo), "Trump sitting next to Russian Ambassador Yuri Dubinin, at a luncheon hosted by Leonard Lauder, the oldest son of Estée Lauder," in 1986, is incriminating evidence...of something.
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.
