Thanks Jallen for the answer to my question on the quote.

All be damned, all this crazy news panic about impeachment and the russians disappeared. Its almost as if the news sites are trying to get you hooked for weekend news so they can make their advertising money. Almost like they get paid per click or something....

^ who'd've thunk it.

No deal. President Trump is polite and respectful, as he and the SS should be at that location. Not sure there is any significance in color of kippah.

I wonder how long before this runs on CNN?

Israel was not the only country in the Middle East happy to see Barack Obama out of the White House.

President Donald Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia over the weekend served as a very public slap in the face of his predecessor.

And it was the Saudis, not Trump, who delivered the blow.

Saudi newspapers Okaz and Al-Madina noted that there was a lot of frustration with Obama's defeatist policies regarding Iran, and that Saudi Arabia sees Trump as heralding a new era of strength in the face of such enemies.

Al-Sharq al-Awsat, a Saudi-owned newspaper published in London, went a step further, publishing a caricature of a wreath being laid at a tombstone reading "Obama's Policies."

In the days leading up to his trip, a number of regional officials, like the Foreign Minister of Bahrain, said that Trump understands the Middle East far better than Obama could ever hope to.

Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir heaped praise on President Trump’s trip to Saudi Arabia Monday, calling it “phenomenal.”

Fox News’ Bret Baier caught up with Adel al-Jubeir and asked him his thoughts of Trump’s visit, which was the president’s first international trip since taking office.

“It was a phenomenal trip, phenomenally successful…history was made, it was the first visit by a president to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as his first trip abroad,” the foreign minister said.

“[Trump] attended an unprecedented, historic summit that brought in all the Muslim countries, all the Arab countries, and the United States,” he continued. “He changed the nature of the dialogue between the Muslim world and the United States.”

Trump’s speech to Muslim leaders called for the countries to join together to fight Islamic extremism and state-financed terror.

“He set the foundation for the creation of a partnership to fight extremism and terrorism and terror financing…and so overall it was an incredible success,” Adel al-Jubeir said of the speech.

from OANN WH correspondent:

Three White House staffers have been identified for leaking classified info

POTUS will fire 'multiple people' when he returns to DC.

I'm told the names of the leakers are being run by the Office of Government Ethics, which is why they aren't immediately fired

Office of Government Ethics is not able to prosecute anyone. They will advise the White House on how to proceed with leakers

guess we keep our fingers crossed

Wow. If they really leaked classified info I hope the book gets thrown at them. If they just leaked info that hurt Trump I hope they are fired, AFTER their (probably democrats) handlers are identified so they too can be outed.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I bet water-boarding would reveal A LOT of information. Just sayin'.....

House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz on Monday said he will postpone a hearing scheduled for Wednesday after speaking with former FBI Director James Comey, who had been invited to testify.

“Spoke with Comey. He wants to speak with Special Counsel prior to public testimony.

Hearing Wed postponed. @GOPoversight,” Chaffetz tweeted.

The plot thickens. Comey's sweating.

He's got to get his story straight, and get some advice from his homey on how to avoid a perjury charge.

I don't trust the new "special counsel" any more than I trust Comey. They are both career political insiders.

As I recall with the custom, it is an honor to serve the tea and not a servant's task.

And if you've had enough tea, don't finish what's in your cup

Pretty much the way it was in Iran when I was there back in 1960-61.

We were told that they were required wear while at the wall. Not sure if that is true or not, perhaps they were just messing with the Catholics that day, but it was no big deal. They give them out for free and it's easy enough to slap it on your noggin and be respectful.

No idea about the colors.
