[Daily Caller] Benghazi survivor Kris "Tanto" Paronto had a few choice words for those who have been critical of President Donald Trump’s response to the death of Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi at Turkey’s Saudi Arabian Embassy.
Addressing his tweet to the "leftist journalists & liberalists" who are angry about the Trump administration’s handling of the situation, Paronto asked, "Where in the hell were you when @BarackObama left 30+ AMERICANS to die in Benghazi Libya including an Ambassador?"
[Sultan Knish] In high school, Jamal Khashoggi had a good friend. His name was Osama bin Laden.
"We were hoping to establish an Islamic state anywhere," Khashoggi reminisced about their time together in the Muslim Brotherhood. "We believed that the first one would lead to another, and that would have a domino effect which could reverse the history of mankind."
The friendship endured with Jamal Khashoggi following Osama bin Laden to Afghanistan. Khashoggi credited Adel Batterjee, listed at one time as one of "the world’s foremost terrorist financiers" by the Treasury Department, with bringing him to Afghanistan to report on the fighting.
The media calls Khashoggi a journalist, but his writings from 80s Afghanistan read as Jihadist propaganda with titles like, "Arab Mujahadeen in Afghanistan II: Exemplifies the Unity of Islamic Ummah".
And when Osama bin Laden set up Al Qaeda, he called Khashoggi with the details.
After Afghanistan, Jamal Khashoggi went to work as a media adviser for former Saudi intel boss, Prince Turki bin Faisal, alleged to have links to Al Qaeda. Those allegations came from, among others, Zacarias Moussaoui, the alleged twentieth hijacker.
When the other 19 hijackers perpetrated the attacks of September 11, Khashoggi wrote that the Saudis would not "give in" to American "demands" for "unconditional condemnation" and "total cooperation".
"Saudis tend to link the ugliness of what happened in New York and Washington with what has happened and continues to happen in Palestine. It is time that the United States comes to understand the effect of its foreign policy and the consequences of that policy," he declared.

the muslim brotherhood (Jamal Khashoggi's loyalty was to that group) and Al Qaeda have had a long history of 'on again - off again' cooperation
at times they work together, at times they assassinate each other's members and accuse each other of various sins
so it will be relatively easy for Jk's apologists to find a quote or two opposing Al Q.
however, the bulk of his writings are pro jihad, death to Israel, islam should dominate the infidel stuff

Recall: Wall Street Journal, December 16, 2006.
Prince Turki al-Faisal, the Saudi ambassador to the U.S., has resigned. The prince reportedly flew out of Washington after informing Condoleezza Rice, and his own staff, that he was leaving, just 15 months after arriving. The Saudi Embassy told the Associated Press that he was "going home to spend more time with his family." Such an excuse may satisfy the immediate requirements of news-agency reporting, but is almost certainly incomplete, and worryingly so. Prince Turki's resignation provides yet another reminder that one of America's most important relationships is laced with surprise and mystery.
At the end of August 2001, the prince resigned as chief of the General Intelligence Directorate, the Saudi CIA, supposedly for apparently similar personal reasons. At the time the CIA and State Department were clueless as to what it meant.
[Breitbart] Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, offered four recommendations to President Donald Trump and his administration on how to solve the border crisis caused by the stream of migrant caravans seeking entry into the U.S. via Mexico.
Vaughan offered her remarks in a Friday interview with Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Rebecca Mansour on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight.

Two can play the "invasion of Mexico" game. Since Mexico seems unconcerned about the southern invasion, Trump should announce that a "buffer zone" will be established 10 miles into Mexico along the entire border and send the Army in wherever the "caravan" goes. Set up airstrips to fly the potential invaders back home. Under no circumstances allow them onto U.S. territory where some doofus in a black robe can interfere.

Actually, Trump should tell Mexico and every nation between it and Honduras that not stopping the caravan makes them complicit in an act of war will exist the moment it hits our border. The war will end with the unconditional surrender or total destruction of the involved nations.
[Breitbart] Sunday on ABC’s "This Week," U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) said America needed to send financial aid to stabilize Central America to decrease asylum-seeking immigrants.
O’Rourke said, "If things are so desperate in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, that someone would risk their lives to come here than what can we do to improve situations there? We have invested trillions of dollars for wars in the Middle East. Could we invest some fraction of that to provide the stability in Northern triangle counties of Central America make sure people have a reason to stay and raise their families where they were born?"

...and if you do it for Central America, why not bail out California, Illinois,..et al? Another Magic Money Tree(tm) solution from the Left. Until the underlying destructive social order is exorcised, its just good money after bad.

Subsidies only get more of what you are trying to stop.
Free uncle Sam money means more corrupt governments, more fighting for it, more death, more torture, etc.
Just look to Africa as an example. The countries that take the most aid are hellholes while the ones that didn't are doing ok if not outright thriving.

When Mrs. Bobby expresses sympathy for the less fortunate trying to get into the U.S., I ask her when we will start flying in 'poor people' from the Sudan, and why not business class?

Painting swastikas on US flags and then burning them. That is who is about to invade the US.

Let Communist China do it! If we are running a deficit funded by borrowing from foreigners let them pay for it -- cut out the middle man and improve efficiency.

Following up on Bobby: if you start from the premise that anyone who can hoof it over the border without any, er, formalities is entitled to the full US benefit package, access to the world's best economy, and the inalienable right to vote Democrat, then the follow-on question has to be: why make them hoof it over the border?

We have compromised so many times on protecting our sovereignty that the obvious makes many shocked. Put the military on the border and be prepared to use force to stop this invasion. Otherwise, we are done as a nation. Enough!
#12
If we were to send financial aid, the nation so benefiting should become a US territory with the US in total control over everything McArthur like until things are cleaned up and the nation can stand on its own.
I suspect most politicians, given that option, would clean house before they were humiliated by being replaced by the Yankee.
[PowerLine] I was asked by our local chapter of the Cardozo Society — an affinity group of Jewish lawyers of which I am a member — to speak over lunch as a counterpart to ABA Foundation Fellow and historian Victoria Saker Woeste on the subject of fake news at the society’s October 8 continuing legal education program. Ms. Woeste was the featured speaker. Her theme was that the term “fake news” is anti-Semitic in origin and that President Trump’s use of it, knowingly or not, is wrongful. Her talk expanded on her Washington Post column (accessible via Outline here) making this argument.
Following her presentation I noted that the theme of “fake news” had originally been introduced after the election by Democrats who used it to describe stories representing Russian interference in the election. The term was used as a gibe against Trump, I noted, and he had simply appropriated it and made it his own. I reviewed two case studies in fake news that are familiar to Power Line readers, Rathergate and the smearing of Cleta Mitchell. I passed out materials accompanying my talk that documented the smearing of Cleta Mitchell, the calling out of the smear by the Wall Street Journal and Cleta’s email correspondence with the perpetrators at McClatchy News (embedded at the bottom). Though there is nothing new here, I thought some readers might find my remarks of interest as the song remains the same: More at the link
[IsraelNationalNews] Retired Jordanian diplomat has written a column extolling Trump in a Jordanian newspaper. He did not do this without approval.
Any lingering thought that the Paleostine Liberation Organization (PLO) would have any role to play in President Trump’s soon to-be-released peace plan has vanished - after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that $165 million had been deducted from funding to the PLO because of its continuing "pay for slay" policy in breach of the Taylor Force Act.
Jordan has now signalled its preparedness to replace the PLO by publically supporting Trump in an article written in the Jordan Times by Walid Sadi ‐ a retired Jordanian diplomat with over 35 years’ experience and himself a former editor of the Jordan Times.

[Hot Air] I’ve been calling for a case where this question is taken before the courts for years now and we might finally have the mechanism to make it happen. With the federal government under the Obama administration having caved to the demands of social justice warriors on the issue of transgenderism and rights, the door was opened to massive confusion in schools and most other areas of daily life. Some clarification and recognition of fundamental science and medical facts has been sorely needed and now we may be getting it. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) may be close to issuing a revised, legal definition of sex under Title IX. And this, of course, immediately had the staff at the New York Times setting their collective hair on fire.

This is the wrong timing. Far more fun with all the SJW idiocies colliding, pick your race and sex has them fighting it out in Victimhood Top Trumps, but it all depends on whatever the person thinks they are, and human nature says they're going to pick the strongest VINO "victim in name only" from the SJW deck.
While Trump knows their "program" the NPC SJWs are being short-circuited
