No Red Carpet, Tarmac Trouble: China Snubbing Obama at G20 Summit?

Taruni Kumar
Yesterday, 11:29 pm

China may be too aware that US President Barack Obama’s ongoing visit to China for the G20 Summit is his last Asia trip while in office. There’s been trouble from the American President’s very first step, which he could not take because there was no staircase for him to exit the plane and descend on the red carpet. The internal stairs of the President’s plane Air Force One had to be used.
Theresa Fallon, Director of a foreign policy think tank tweeted a photo of Prime Minister Modi’s descent from his plane relative to Obama’s with the caption, “Spot the difference”.

Mike Huckabee:

Good opinion piece on the now 60-something Democrats who are boycotting the Trump Inaugural, proving by their refusal to accept the results of the election that they are horrifying and un-American and trying to undermine faith in the American electoral system – and that’s according to Hillary Clinton!

Radio host Rick Roberts of WBAP in Dallas/Ft. Worth made an excellent point that this writer comes close to: all of these Democrats were sent to Washington to represent their ...constituents’ interests. That’s their job. They now have no power, and they refuse to work with or even talk to Trump or the Republicans, who do have power. So if they refuse to do their job, then why don’t they resign? It’s not much of a “principled stand” to continue drawing a fat paycheck while doing nothing for your voters. If you can’t bring yourself to help your constituents by working with the people in power, then quit, go home and let someone else take your place.

I don’t expect to see any of them exhibit THAT much principle. But let’s hope that in their next primary elections, the voters will hand in their resignations for them.

Dear Boycotting Democrats: America Is Better Off Without You 

I can't thank you enough for your foot-stamping absurdity ...

by Rusty Davis January 18, 2017 at 4:01pm

Dear Boycotting Democrats:

Thank you for the childish, petulant tantrum you have thrown by refusing to be part of America’s future. The voters knew all along that you had it in you. That’s why you lost.

At a time when the lack of results from Congress has led to the legislative branch being held in contempt by most Americans, nothing could display self-centered arrogance more than the assumption that your do-nothing presence or notice-me absence from Friday’s inauguration has some meaning.

Get over yourselves.

DEAR MR. PRESIDENT ELECT:

In these final days before your inauguration, we thought it might be helpful to clarify how we see the relationship between your administration and the American press corps.

It will come as no surprise to you that we see the relationship as strained. Reports over the last few days that your press secretary is considering pulling news media offices out of the White House are the latest in a pattern of behavior that has persisted throughout the campaign: You’ve banned news organizations from covering you. You’ve taken to Twitter to taunt and threaten individual reporters and encouraged your supporters to do the same. You’ve advocated for looser libel laws and threatened numerous lawsuits of our own, none of which has materialized. You’ve avoided the press when you could and flouted the norms of pool reporting and regular press conferences. You’ve ridiculed a reporter who wrote something you didn’t like because he has a disability.

All of this, of course, is your choice and, in a way, your right. While the Constitution protects the freedom of the press, it doesn’t dictate how the president must honor that; regular press conferences aren’t enshrined in the document.

But while you have every right to decide your ground rules for engaging with the press, we have some, too. It is, after all, our airtime and column inches that you are seeking to influence. We, not you, decide how best to serve our readers, listeners, and viewers. So think of what follows as a backgrounder on what to expect from us over the next four years.

Access is preferable, but not critical. You may decide that giving reporters access to your administration has no upside. We think that would be a mistake on your part, but again, it’s your choice. We are very good at finding alternative ways to get information; indeed, some of the best reporting during the campaign came from news organizations that were banned from your rallies. Telling reporters that they won’t get access to something isn’t what we’d prefer, but it’s a challenge we relish.

Off the record and other ground rules are ours—not yours—to set. We may agree to speak to some of your officials off the record, or we may not. We may attend background briefings or off-the-record social events, or we may skip them. That’s our choice. If you think reporters who don’t agree to the rules, and are shut out, won’t get the story, see above.

We decide how much airtime to give your spokespeople and surrogates. We will strive to get your point of view across, even if you seek to shut us out. But that does not mean we are required to turn our airwaves or column inches over to people who repeatedly distort or bend the truth. We will call them out when they do, and we reserve the right, in the most egregious cases, to ban them from our outlets.

We believe there is an objective truth, and we will hold you to that. When you or your surrogates say or tweet something that is demonstrably wrong, we will say so, repeatedly. Facts are what we do, and we have no obligation to repeat false assertions; the fact that you or someone on your team said them is newsworthy, but so is the fact that they don’t stand up to scrutiny. Both aspects should receive equal weight.

We’ll obsess over the details of government. You and your staff sit in the White House, but the American government is a sprawling thing. We will fan reporters out across the government, embed them in your agencies, source up those bureaucrats. The result will be that while you may seek to control what comes out of the West Wing, we’ll have the upper hand in covering how your policies are carried out.

We will set higher standards for ourselves than ever before. We credit you with highlighting serious and widespread distrust in the media across the political spectrum. Your campaign tapped into that, and it was a bracing wake-up call for us. We have to regain that trust. And we’ll do it through accurate, fearless reporting, by acknowledging our errors and abiding by the most stringent ethical standards we set for ourselves.

We’re going to work together. You have tried to divide us and use reporters’ deep competitive streaks to cause family fights. Those days are ending. We now recognize that the challenge of covering you requires that we cooperate and help one another whenever possible. So, when you shout down or ignore a reporter at a press conference who has said something you don’t like, you’re going to face a unified front. We’ll work together on stories when it makes sense, and make sure the world hears when our colleagues write stories of importance. We will, of course, still have disagreements, and even important debates, about ethics or taste or fair comment. But those debates will be ours to begin and end.

We’re playing the long game. Best-case scenario, you’re going to be in this job for eight years. We’ve been around since the founding of the republic, and our role in this great democracy has been ratified and reinforced again and again and again. You have forced us to rethink the most fundamental questions about who we are and what we are here for. For that we are most grateful.
Enjoy your inauguration.

He Has This Deep Fear That He Is Not a Legitimate President
On the eve of the inauguration, Trump’s biographers ponder his refusal to bend his ego to his new office.
By MICHAEL KRUSE January 18, 2017

In the days immediately after the election that shocked the world, POLITICO Magazine convened the group of people who know Donald J. Trump better than anyone outside his family. We asked his biographers the questions that were on everyone’s mind: What happens next? Will the unabashedly self-promoting and self-obsessed businessman transform himself into a selfless and dignified president of the nation he was elected to lead?

Now, after more than two months of Trump’s norm-shattering transition, we gathered Gwenda Blair, Michael D’Antonio and Tim O’Brien by conference call (Wayne Barrett, the dean of Trump reporters, could not participate because of illness) to assess whether Trump has continued to surprise them. Their collective wisdom? In a word, no.

From his pick of nominees for posts in his cabinet to his belligerent use of Twitter (our conversation was a day before he traded barbs with Congressman John Lewis) to his unwillingness to cut ties with his business to avoid conflicts of interest, they see the same person they’ve always seen—the consummate classroom troublemaker; a vain, insecure bully; and an anti-institutional schemer, as adept at “gaming the system” as he is unashamed. As they look ahead to his inauguration speech in two days, and to his administration beyond, they feel confident predicting that he will run the country much as he has run his company. For himself.

GOD BLESS AMERICA.......

Trump administration takes aim at climate regs, sets agenda on WhiteHouse.gov

Published January 20, 2017
FoxNews.com

While new President Donald Trump was laying out a short version of his agenda in an inaugural speech, his communications team was busy rewriting the White House website with a slew of new objectives including scrapping environmental regulations it claims kill jobs.

...

Trump made clear his administration will seek energy independence for the U.S. by giving a shot in the arm to the oil and gas industries, a platform plank he touted during his successful campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton.

...

“We will use the revenues from energy production to rebuild our roads, schools, bridges and public infrastructure.”

The rapid reversal of prior policy drew a sharp rebuke from environmentalists.

...

Elsewhere on the official site’s “Issues” section, the new administration spelled out other top priorities, wasting no time in sending a message it plans to aggressively implement the new agenda.

• On defense, the site vows to “rebuild” the military to give America firmer footing in pursuing “peace through strength.”
  
• On trade, the Trump administration intends to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement.
  
• The site proposes a moratorium on new federal regulations and states that Trump will order the heads of federal agencies and departments “to identify job-killing regulations that should be repealed.”
  
• On crime, the new policies include plans to deport illegal immigrants with violent criminal records and to safeguard Second Amendment rights, which Trump believes allow Americans to ensure their own safety.
  

Much of the updated information simply makes official Trump’s campaign promises, but the speed with which they were posted on the site could send a signal to critics and supporters alike that Trump intends to follow through on his agenda.

Bonjour Eddie,

Tim O’brien est un auteur qui a pas mal ecrit sur la guerre du Vietnam, des oeuvres semi autobiographiques puisqu’il y avait servi. Je le connais peu.

J’avoue ne pas avoir ete jusqu’au bout du reportage en question, Je fais une grave allergie a Gerard Miller et je vous remercie donc d’avoir
poste les conclusions de cette emission.
Effectivement, Michael Dantonio suit Trump depuis des annees et malgre les cotes pas tres flatteurs qu’il decrit de l’homme, il fait encore pour l’instant partie des “biographes” du Monsieur, C’est un exploit.
It is not Trump’s outrageousness that makes him worthy of interest. More important is that he has succeeded, like no one else, in converting celebrity into profit. Somehow he has done this even as a substantial proportion of the population, arguably more than 50 percent, consider him a buffoon if not a menace. What does it say about Trump that he is so undeniably successful by the two measures that matter the most to him—money and fame? And what, pray tell, does it say about us?
Ce genre de declaration, pas tout a fait pour ni tout a fait contre, l'a protege des nombreux proces dont Trump l'a menace

et...

Citation :

The answer is undoubtedly close to zero, since the purpose of the entire charade—like all leftist charades—was merely to give the participants an opportunity to publicly signal their own moral superiority while smearing—as racists and fascists—anyone who doesn't accept socialism, identity politics, and perpetual grievance mongering as the ultimate expressions of the American Dream. But for those who actually have an aversion to mindless indoctrination, the facts will be rather disturbing.

et... le reste....

Il fallait aller la chercher tres loin celle–la. Elle manquait au tableau. D'autant plus que si CNN est biaisee, Frontpage est un media toutafe objectif
voyons, et John Perazzo un auteur toutafe honnete lui aussi    

Critiquer ceux qui critiquent la nouvelle administration semble vous gener, mais mettre tout un mouvement de 500.000 personnes a Washington, 750.000 a LA et environ 2.5 millions dans le monde dans un panier anti-Semite juste parce que l’une des Presidentes a des vues pro-palestiniennes
et/ou anti israeliennes ne semble pas vous poser probleme...
En ignorant totalement toutes celles et ceux qui ont participe, (des chretiennes, des nonnes, des femmes de confessions juives , j’en passe et d' autres).

Alors petit historique : Cette manifestation a ete initiee par Theresa Shook, une  avocate Americaine habitant Hawaii avec un simple post sur Facebook.
Bob Band la creatrice des “Nasty Women” T-shirts a eu une idee similaire ailleurs en incitant la creation de mouvements-soeur a l'echelle des etats et des communautes. Elle a ensuite recrute 3 co-presidentes dont Linda Sarsour.  Les deux autres sont Tamika Mallory et Carmen Perez, loin d'etre des excitees si l'on considere excitees, des femmes qui luttent pour les droits civiques et les droits des femmes entre autres.

Peu a peu diverses personnes reprennent le post et creent leurs propre appel. Je crois que c’est Denise Walkyrie qui reprenant ce post l’a developpe en taggant 40 personnes interessees de monter sur Washington pour manifester et…boule de neige.  Jusqu'a en faire un mouvement national.

Quand le mensonge de certains sites tord le coup aux faits…
Ah mais j’oubliais, nous sommes desormais dans l'ere des “faits alternatifs”.

PS. Comme je pense que je vois ca venir, je dirai simplement que ce n’est ni Madonna ni Ashley Judd qui ont fait la manifestation. Que leurs mots outranciers aient ete repris par beaucoup, ne diminue en rien la portee de l'evenement ni l'importance du mecontentement ressenti avec l'election de Trump.
