Trump, in Poland, vows 'the West will never, ever be broken'

President Trump delivered a staunch defense of Western values during a rousing speech Thursday to thousands of Poles in Warsaw’s Krasinski Square, rallying allies against what he described as “dire threats” to civilization and vowing, “the West will never, ever be broken.”

On his second overseas trip as president, Trump voiced confidence in the resolve of Western nations to confront common threats but said allies must remember who they are to topple those challenges. Trump said nations must have the will to protect borders and preserve civilization from those who would destroy it.

“Just as Poland cannot be broken, I declare today for the world to hear that the West will never, ever be broken,” Trump said. “Our values will prevail, our people will thrive, and our civilization will triumph.”

In sweeping terms, Trump used the address to cheer the contributions of Western societies.

“We write symphonies, we pursue innovation. … We reward brilliance. We strive for excellence, and cherish inspiring works of art that honor God,” he said. “We treasure the rule of law and protect the right to free speech and free expression. … We debate everything, we challenge everything, we seek to know everything so that we can better know ourselves.”

Trump arrived in Warsaw late Wednesday for a 16-hour visit before leaving for the G-20 summit in Germany. He'll meet Thursday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, but his highest-profile summit will be Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In his speech, Trump saluted Polish sacrifice and underscored the United States’ commitment to NATO, Poland and Western values.

“In the Polish people, we see the soul of Europe—your nation is great because your spirit is great and your spirit is strong,” Trump said, calling Poland the “geographic heart of Europe.”

Trump reflected on historic invasions of Poland by the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, saying that while Poland’s borders were “erased from the maps,” it could “never be erased from your hearts.”

“The story of Poland is a story of people who have never lost hope, never been broken and never, ever, forgotten who they are.”

Trump applauded Poland for being one of the NATO countries that has “actually achieved a benchmark for investment.”

“My administration has demanded that all members of NATO finally meet their full and fair financial obligation—as a result of insistence, billions of dollars have begun to poor into NATO,” Trump said. “In fact, people are shocked.”

Trump endorsed Article 5, the collective defense provision that holds an attack on one ally nation is considered an attack on all allies.

“There are dire threats to our security and to our way of life—you see what’s happening out there—they are threats,” Trump said. “We will confront them and we will win—but they are threats.”

The president underscored the severity of the threat of “radical Islamic terror”–the president did not use that term in his keynote address in Saudi Arabia before leaders of more than 50 Muslim nations.

“We are fighting hard against radical Islamic terrorism and we will prevail,” Trump said, acknowledging that the U.S. and Europe have seen “one terror attack after another.” “We are going to get it to stop.”

He added: “While we will always welcome new citizens who share our values and love our people, our borders will always be closed to terrorism and extremism of any kind.”

The question president Trump raised was not “if” the West could survive, but whether the West “has the will to survive.”

“Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost? Do we have the desire and courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who subvert and destroy it?” Trump asked. “If we don’t have strong families and strong values, we will be weak, and we will not survive.”

Trump also took a swipe at “the steady creep of government bureaucracy,” which he said is an “invisible” danger “on both sides of the Atlantic.”

“We must work together to confront forces whether they come from inside or out, south or east, that threaten to undermine these values and erase the bonds of culture, faith and tradition that makes us who we are,” Trump said. “These forces are doomed to fail if we want them to fail, and we do indeed want them to fail.”

CNN Staff Reeling After Personal Info Leaked.

Several anchors and reporters at CNN have had their home addresses published and have received threats of rape and other violence in the wake of a story published by Andrew Kaczynski, who heads up the network’s investigative K-FILE team. Anti-network trolls are encouraging viewers to wrongly accuse CNN staffers of pedophilia and child pornography. There is also “tons of anti-Semitism.”

“Frustration” is the predominant feeling inside CNN, The Mirror has learned.

Kaczynski published a story on the 4th of July in which he appeared to threaten to publish the name of a Reddit user who parades around anonymously as “HanAssholeSolo.” HanAssholeSolo claimed to be the originator of the wrestling video tweeted by President Trump in which POTUS flattened a wrestler whose face was a CNN logo.

Trump has long accused CNN of being “fake news” and “very fake news.”

The network seems to be fulfilling Trump’s need for a public enemy. In other words, CNN fills the void for “Low energy Jeb,” “Little Marco,” “Lyin’ Ted” and “Crooked Hillary.” In recent months, CNN has become a virtual punching bag for Trump supporters. The reason doesn’t often matter. Be it White House correspondent Jim Acosta bitching about press access or “New Day” host Chris Cuomo deleting a tweet, they’re drunk on hate and their perception that the network is not giving Trump a fair shake. They delight in clobbering the network as much and as often as possible.

To be sure, Kaczynski’s home address has been posted online as have those of various CNN anchors and reporters.

“Frustrated by our critics’ double standards,” a CNN insider said on condition of anonymity. “Frustrated that CNN staffers’ private information is being published in ‘retaliation’ — when the network made the decision to not out the Reddit user. Frustrated by the speed in which misinformation, lies and hate spreads. Frustrated that POTUS’s son has no accountability.”

Some CNN employees are taking steps to protect themselves, but details are hush-hush as revealing them could jeopardize employing safety measures in the first place.

Cry me a river CNN. The left, always the victim. Just your typical American hating trash. "Oh poor me". Please.

I hope they are not considering guns. Studies have shown when the left has guns they kill each other and then blame it on the gun.

Lemme understand this. The lying pieces of fecal matter blackmail a private citizen and when it backfires on them, it's all the fault of *OUR* President?

I pray that you are savaged nonstop for weeks and weeks over this. I do. I pray. That is the word- pray.

I suspect 4chan will take care of them. I'd rather piss off the FBI, etc. than the guys at 4chan.

/b/ is very good about taking care of things like this, I'm popping pop corn

Ok I'm behind the curve on this. Who is 4Chan and what makes him/them so bad ass they can take down CNN? What powers do they have?

I've heard people refer to it as "a message board full of brilliant autistic people that live in their parents basements and can track anyone down, anywhere." they're the guys that figured out the identity of the "bike lock" teacher.. they used his backpack, sunglasses, then superimposed images, it's pretty remarkable actually. watch that video, it's pretty crazy.
( )

they also did this which is HILARIOUS to shia lefluff's "he will not divide us"... they literally used flight patterns, con trails, the constellation, to figure out the location.

Let's stay on topic, please.

Holy crap. "Frustrated by the double standard?" Are you kidding me? They are a billion dollar company who threatened to do harm to the life of an individual who made a funny video they didn't like. And now that they are feeling the other end of this it's a double standard? It's ok for them to post lies about Trump and his supporters, but when it's done to them it's a double standard?

They really are living in an alternate universe. I hope President Trump (and the rest of the internet) continue giving it to them with both barrels. They deserve every ounce of it.

Really? Kind of like how CNN has no accountability? Why should Trump's son? He is a private citizen who is allowed to speak his mind. CNN is full of crying, lying scumbags who seem to think that only they are allowed to have an opinion. I have no doubt that if someone proposed locking up anyone who disagrees with the media they would be all for it, pushing for it with 24/7 coverage.

NY Times - "President Trump rounds his numbers up (correctly) - he is a madman and must be stopped"


In Washington, Mr. Trump repeated his impatience with Mr. Xi. In a post on Twitter on Wednesday, the president said China’s trade with North Korea had grown by almost 40 percent in the first quarter . “So much for China working with us — but we had to give it a try,” he said.

It was not clear where Mr. Trump got his 40 percent figure. A South Korean trade group said on Monday that China had imported much more iron in the last few months than previously. But the group also said that the North was a long way from making up the lost revenues from China shutting down its North Korean coal imports.

China’s trade with the North grew 37.4 percent during the first three months of the year, compared with the same period in 2016, Chinese trade data released in April showed. China said the trade grew even as it stopped buying North Korean coal.

CNN is free to speak its mind, if you will allow the assumption. Like young Trump, if they say something really stupid, outrageously in error, they will reap the ahhh, rewards, as this episode demonstrates.

All CNN has to do to stop this is start playing straight, stop the biased bullshit, the "fake" stuff.

Trump has not done anything to stop CNN from saying or doing whatever it wants. He has pointed out when they seem to be wrong, or biased, and mocked them for it.

Maybe one of these days, when the swamp is drained, he can start being "Presidential."

The director of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), Walter Shaub Jr., announced Thursday he will resign before the end of his term.

Shaub announced he would leave the office on Wednesday, July 19. In his resignation letter, Shaub called it the "great privilege and honor of my career" to lead the OGE staff, and he praised the office's employees as being "committed to protecting the principle that public service is a public trust, requiring employees to place loyalty to the Constitution, the laws, and ethical principles above private gain."

**************
I guess Shaub was so proud because the Obama administration was so loyal to the constitution and the laws (sarc)

Ethical principles above private gain? So who did you vote for again? Yeah, thought so. How about you just go away and shut up.

https://townhall.com/columnist...ual-suicide-n2350761

The media babbles about “principles,” but as soon as they become inconvenient then out the window go those precious “principles.” A silly wrestling gif supporting the president “promotes violence against the media,” but a week before that funding a play where President Trump is stabbed to death was artful political commentary?

That’s my objection to all this recent “principles” talk. They are never actually promoting “principles.” It is always a scam and a pose designed to stop other people from acting in, or defending, their own interests. These “principles” never, ever require the people allegedly holding them to not act in, or defend, their interests.

CNN has all sorts of “principles” it uses to bludgeon its opponents, none of which ever seem to limit CNN’s own actions. How convenient.

President Trump sees this and not only calls it out but refuses to back down even an inch in the face of the media’s predictable “Oh, well, I never!” campaign of conservashaming. That's why we see wussy Fredocon Republicans like Jeb! and Kasich trotted out to sadly shake their heads; they're always willing to submit to this nonsense and obediently trash conservatives in the name of principles that they never, ever apply to the media or to their liberal string-pullers. But Trump doesn't play that, and whatever his other faults, it's glorious.

Normal Americans are receptive to Trump’s attacks on the media because they hate the mainstream media too. They are now woke to the unarguable fact that the mainstream media is almost entirely composed of liberal activists who hate normal people and who see absolutely nothing wrong with using their platform to aggressively promote a leftist agenda, all while presenting themselves as non-partisan public servants.

It’s all a lie, and we know it, and beyond the hate directed at us, having the hypocrisy of it rubbed in our faces is even more galling. You know, if you want the prestige and honor due a nonpartisan, objective truth teller, you need to actually be a nonpartisan, objective truth teller. If you won't do the hard work of doing that, then you don't get the benefit. You want respect? Try earning it.

But the media doesn't want to have to do that. It wants its cake, and to eat it too, and further, it wants to make us bake it lots of cakes and write on them “Best Wishes Upon Your Voluntary Transformation From Boy To Girl By The Mere Power Of Your Wanting To Because That Is Totally A Thing And So Is Global Warming And Russians.”

It’s reassuring to see the near universal contempt for CNN’s creepy extortion gambit, and perhaps by the time this column runs the CNN brain trust will have listened to their general counsel, who has probably aged 15 years in the last 15 days, and apologized, retracted, and fired everyone associated with this unbelievable idiocy.

Perhaps the best part of all of this is the indisputable fact that CNN’s own actions have validated every bad thing Trump has ever said about the lying media. That he was totally and completely correct about CNN's moral bankruptcy makes it all the sweeter.

As much as it is a joy to see CNN shred its pretenses and act openly as we always knew it wanted to, this sort of thing is not good.

There is a cultural war underway already, and this only makes it more likely to get worse. When the media takes a side, it makes the other side its enemy. That’s a conscious choice. And CNN seems happy to help feed the fire by embracing its liberal fascist id.

President Trump has arrived for the G20 summit in Germany. I'd bet that HRC is fantasizing about how she, as the first female POTUS, would be the *SUPERSTAR* of that summit if Trump hadn't stolen Her Rightful Election.

De Blasio races to Germany to protest G20 summit

Mayor Bill de Blasio is jetting off to Germany on Thursday to protest President Trump and other world leaders attending the G20 Summit meeting.

The day after a cop was assassinated in The Bronx, de Blasio skipped an afternoon swearing-in ceremony for 524 new NYPD recruits ahead of his flight overseas.

A last-minute advisory from City Hall said Hizzoner “will attend several events surrounding the G20 Summit, including Saturday’s Hamburg Zeigt Haltung rally.”

Organizers of that demonstration — “Hamburg Shows Attitude,” in English — say 10,000 people have registered to oppose G20 participants including Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdgoan.

City Council members said they were unaware of de Blasio’s plan to abandon the Big Apple to push his progressive agenda in Europe.

Grandstanding


Utterly pointless and worthless


Ego-driven horse shit

CNN Jim Acosta makes himself either a fool or a prime example of CNN fake news fabrication
(probably both)

Today on CNN Acosta said:

“The other thing that was ‘fake news’ coming from President Trump is when he said, well, I keep hearing it’s 17 intelligence agencies that say Russia meddled in the election, I think it’s only three or four,”

Acosta: “Where does that number come from? Where does this ‘three or four’ number come from?”

http://dailycaller.com/2017/07...17-intel-agency-lie/

**************

Good grief. James Clapper in congressional testimony said it was only the FBI, CIA, and NSA; not all 17 agencies.

The NYT and AP have acknowledged they reported it wrong as "all 17"

Anyone w half a brain immediately thought "all 17" made no sense ever since H Clinton threw that out last summer.

But Acosta is still telling CNN viewers :

'Where does this ‘three or four’ number come from?”

How about James Clapper, Jimbo ?

http://freebeacon.com/national...ussian-interference/

former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper in testimony on 8 May 2017 :

"The [intelligence community assessment] was a coordinated product from three agencies: CIA, NSA and the FBI, not all 17 components of the intelligence community."

^^^^^ Acosta is a liberal idiot and proves more and more with every passing day.
