ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE ON THE MATTIS MATTER:  Was the Syria withdrawal a brilliant move by President Trump?

NOT ALL IS AS IT APPEARS:  Mattis Was Always on Borrowed Time.

From the article:

The idea that the resignation of General Mattis as secretary of defense is a startling development that comes out of the blue strikes us as wishful thinking on the part of critics of President Trump. The general may have been irked by Mr. Trump’s plan to pull our GIs out of Syria. The record suggests, though, Mr. Mattis’ tenure as defense secretary has long been on borrowed time.

For in respect of policy, General Mattis has always struck us as crosswise with the president. This was foreshadowed before the 2016 election, when the general, at the time the former commander of CentCom, was interviewed by Wolf Blitzer at an Aspen Security Forum in Colorado. That’s the appearance where the Jar Head blamed our troubles in the Middle East on Israel.

FROM SARAH HOYT WRITING AS SARAH D’ALMEIDA, DAY THREE OF THE HOLIDAY EXTRAVAGANZA:  The Musketeer’s Seamstress at 99c.

Aramis emerges from the water closet to find his lover, a duchess, murdered on her bed. The room is locked, and Aramis is the only one who could have entered it. He’s sure he didn’t do it, but no one else believes him. Even Monsieur de Treville, Captain of Musketeers, doubts Aramis’s word. Aramis must leave Paris and go on the run, entrusting the solving of the murder, and the defense of his honor, his freedom and his very life to Athos, Porthos and D’Artagnan. Can “one for all” carry the day when every powerful person in France believes Aramis a murderer and when powerful interests would gladly frame Aramis for it?

AS I SAID THE MEDIA IS ITS OWN WORST ENEMY:  USA Today Columnist: “I Care More Now Because I Am A Democrat”.

UH OH:  Secretary Of Defense James Mattis Has Resigned.

WHAT CAN WE DO WITH A PROBLEM LIKE COMEY? WELL, I AM A TUDOR-ENGLAND KIND OF GIRL. I SAY HANG HIM, CUT HIM DOWN WHILE STILL LIVING AND BURN HIS ENTRAILS BEFORE HIS EYES.  BUT NEVER MIND ME.

But I’ll hold on to my little hope.  It keeps me from going Sarah-Smash.

THE GREATEST DANGER TO THE MEDIA IS THE MEDIA:  Print the Legend.

JUST LIKE ALL THE LEFT, THEY ARE FOCUSING LIKE A LASER ON ALL THE WRONG PROBLEMS AND THE EVEN MORE WRONG-HEADED “SOLUTIONS”:  The UN’s obsession with Israel makes peace harder to achieve.
