There’s going to be some hurt feelings, and tears in Washington tonight. The bars are going to have to stay open late.

He said “bullshit” once.

And the leftists would be enraged at him if he got up there and read Green Eggs and Ham.

Brexit Leader Nigel Farage Meets With President Trump at White House: ‘Great Things Ahead For Our Two Countries’

Nigel Farage met President Donald Trump Thursday evening at the White House, prompting him to observe “there should be great things ahead for our two countries.”

The Brexit veteran revealed the visit to the Oval Office where he had a “great meeting” with President Trump amid a week of meetings and events in the United States for the British political trailblazer.

When Farage met with President Trump immediately after the 2016 election — receiving the honour of being the first British politician to do so — he lobbied the President to return the bust of British wartime leader Sir Winston Churchill to the Oval Office which had been removed by President Obama. Mr Farage made reference to that episode Thursday night in his notes on his visit to the Oval office, writing that it was “good to see the bust of Winston Churchill”.

In a note of optimism — common to both the Brexit leader and President Trump, who frequently speaks about his hope for a strong trade deal between the UK and the U.S. in the new post-Brexit world — Mr Farage concluded: “there should be great things ahead for our two countries.”

A White House source confirmed to Breitbart London the Oval Office meeting took place Thursday evening.

Mr Farage has already said he intends to spend much more of 2020 in the United States, presumably to campaign for President Trump. In the meanwhile, he has also vowed to keep an eye on British politics, promising to stage a comeback if the nominally conservative government of Boris Johnson breaks its promises on delivering a real Brexit.

Earlier in the week, Mr Farage had been present in the gallery for the State of the Union address, an occasion he reflected on afterwards, drawing comparisons between the petulant behaviour of the European Parliament President and House Speak Nancy Pelosi, tearing up the President’s speech.

Speaking at a convocation of Liberty University on Wednesday, Mr Farage noted how the European Parliament President had turned off his microphone, silencing his final ever speech to the body before Britain left the European Union last Friday. He said of Pelosi: “she made herself look even worse than the president of the European Parliament. Bad behaviour! What she was doing was dishonouring the occasion, dishonouring herself, and dishonouring the position of speaker.”

After his speech, Mr Farage was awarded with an honorary doctorate of laws by the university, an honour he noted he shared with President Trump, who has also been so honoured by the institution.

Trump Announces Leader Of Al-Qaeda In Yemen Killed By US Drone Strike

https://www.zerohedge.com/geop...lled-us-drone-strike

Thursday evening President Trump announced the death of al-Qaeda's chief in Yemen by a US drone strike. The New York Times first reported last week the likely death of Qasim al-Rimi, the founder and leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in a US airstrike, which the president has now confirmed. Days ago Saudi media also began reporting his death.

"Under Rimi, AQAP committed unconscionable violence against civilians in Yemen and sought to conduct and inspire numerous attacks against the United States and our forces," Trump said in a White House official statement. "His death further degrades AQAP and the global al-Qa’ida movement, and it brings us closer to eliminating the threats these groups pose to our national security."



The successful counter-terror operation also reportedly killed an unspecified deputy of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri. This other top al-Qaeda operative's name was not immediately given.

The State Department had issued a $10 million reward for information leading to Rimi's capture. Interestingly, he's alleged to have directly threatened attack on President Trump.

According to the Rewards for Justice statement:

On February 5, 2017, al-Rimi released an audiotape in which he threatened U.S. President Donald Trump. In a May 7, 2017 video, he urged supporters living in Western countries to conduct “easy and simple” attacks and praised Omar Mateen, who killed 49 people in a June 2016 mass shooting at a nightclub in Orlando Florida.

US intelligence had also linked him to a 2008 attack on the US Embassy in Yemen, and to the 2009 "underwear bomber" plot to blow up a US-bound airliner.

The State Department's brief bio information indicates Rimi was active in Sunni jihadist activities and leadership going back to the 1990's:

Qasim al-Rimi was named emir of AQAP in June 2015, immediately after he swore allegiance to al-Qa’ida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and called for renewed attacks against the United States. Al-Rimi trained terrorists at an al-Qa’ida camp in Afghanistan in the 1990’s, and subsequently returned to Yemen and became an AQAP military commander.

His death marks the third designated terrorist killed by the US in recent months, following IRGC Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani and more significantly ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Dead on, boss. I watched about an hour of his testimony and he was a smug and arrogant POS. He had nothing to testify about except his own personal opinions. Nothing.

Donald Trump Jr. was in fine form on Laura Ingraham this evening.

Regarding Bill Clintons impeachment.
“At least we knew who his whistleblower was.”


Need to find the video clip.
It flowed so smoothly with his speech, and Laura’s reaction is priceless.

Well this is interesting, Schiff says Bolton refused to submit affidavit during impeachment trial

From SOTU night

One incident from Tuesday night’s event that has not made many headlines is that one of Speaker Pelosi’s guests was escorted out of the room because of his behavior.

Longtime Democrat activist Fred Guttenberg, the father of Jaime Guttenberg who was murdered in the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February 2018, yelled at President Trump during his address. This happened as Trump spoke about protecting the Second Amendment and gun rights. He was escorted out of the Speaker’s Box by a plainclothes police officer.

Guttenberg caused a stir during the Kavanaugh hearings

He complained that Judge Kavanaugh refused to shake his extended hand during a break, yet the truth was that Kavanaugh had not seen him do that. Guttenberg looks to create headlines and does.

Pelosi is dealing with the fall-out of the address

She muttered to herself out loud, she made faces, she sat on her hands even while good news for all Americans was delivered, and she ripped up her copy of the address at the end of President Trump’s presentation. She is now overreaching again as she trashes President Trump’s speech.

she also is upset that Trump presented Rush Limbaugh with the Medal of Freedom during the address. “Do it in your own office,” she said during a press conference on Thursday morning. Wow. Imagine being so Trump-deranged that the Speaker of the House complains about awarding a man with such an honor during the State of the Union, simply as it was an unprecedented move.

She even used the term “manifesto of mistruths” to describe the State of the Union address

She trashes Trump for holding up a newspaper headline about his acquittal yet she then says “You are impeached forever. You will always carry around that scar.” She didn’t bother to mention that the other side of that coin is that acquittal is forever, too.

Pelosi’s bitterness had gotten the better of her. She invited an activist to the event knowing of his history of bad behavior. She knows that Trump is a straight-shooter.

Trump didn’t mention the impeachment yet he didn’t need to do that – he’s able to induce Democrats to behave just as badly as they accuse Trump of doing. All the polling shows that Trump won the impeachment battle with the American public. That’s his best revenge of all – until Election Day 2020 .

he deserved to be escorted out for his disruption. Too bad the piece of crap Pelosi wasn't thrown out!

Did someone already post the video of Pelosi pre-ripping the speech? They caught that on camera as well. She pre ripped the pages a bit.

Endorsing Mitt Romney was a mistake. I hope President Trump takes a lesson from Reagan and starts to endorse the most conservative candidate who can win. RINOs are not his friends.

Horowitz: Will Romney’s betrayal finally get conservatives focused on our OWN priorities?

Conservatives were universally shocked and appalled by Mitt Romney’s vote to convict the president on impeachment charges, thereby giving cover to vulnerable Democrats. However, anyone who has cared about any major policy issue aside form impeachment shouldn’t be shocked at all. They should be appalled that liberal Republicans like Romney, who seem to be numberless, continue to be welcome in the party despite dissenting from the party platform on almost every important issue.

As I wrote last week, Romney was running in an open seat in 2018 and had a challenger from the Utah state legislature who was actually the pick of delegates at the state convention. Trump, as he has done in numerous races, pulled the rug out from under his most ardent supporters and endorsed Romney, even though both his liberal policy views and his personal disdain for Trump were well known and articulated for years.

The question now is whether conservatives and the president himself will learn from these mistakes and actually endorse the right people in primaries. The first GOP primaries begin on March 3 in several states including Alabama, Texas, and North Carolina. Early voting begins even sooner. There are numerous House, Senate, and gubernatorial races that feature clear contrasts between conservatives and Romney-style Republicans. Yet there is no focus in conservative media on these primaries, as Trump endorses NeverTrumpers.

Just take a look at the opportunities ahead of us this cycle. Here is a list of GOP Senate seats that are either vacant or have weak incumbents, providing us an opportunity to move these seats to the right in solid Trump states.



Look at Tennessee, for example. This is a state Trump carried by 26 points statewide and won 92 of 95 counties. Yet for years, it has been run by “Rockefeller” Romney-style Republicans, from Bill Haslam and Bill Lee as governors to Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander as senators. However, with Alexander retiring, Trump endorsed the most liberal candidate from day one – Bill Hagerty. He was a delegate for Jeb Bush, of all people, during the 2016 presidential primary. Hagerty is also a longtime friend and adviser to … Mitt Romney!

is that how you really feel, or are you holding out on us

I am so glad he can finally clean house of the spies and traitors

I took heart from his comments yesterday that they were also working on dealing with other people - I hope its a steady stream of arrests and charges between now and November

(a major prosecution wouldn't hurt either)

He needs to be sent to the frontline in Afghanistan.

Looking at sdy's Senate RINO chart on the previous page, I just wonder if Beto the Dork is gonna run against Cornyn when he's up for re-election. Also, does anyone think President Trump was playing chess about 17 moves ahead when he endorsed Romney, knowing what a slimy sack of shit he is just so he (Romney) would show his true colors some years later? "Art of the Deal"...Pres. Trump plays chess; not pick-up-stix.
