See Donald has put the crime rise in England and Wales down to radical Islamic terror.
'Just out report: 'United Kingdom crime rises 13% annually amid spread of Radical Islamic terror.' Not good, we must keep America safe!'
He’s a special one that’s for sure

no idea how accurate this is
apparently Chad was put on the list because they ran out paper for printing passports
http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slat...the_travel_ban_because_of_passport_paper.html
As part of its security review of traveler vetting procedures, the Trump administration had required countries to provide a sample of its passports to the Homeland Security Department for analysis. That was a problem for Chad, because the country had run out of passport paper.
Lacking the special passport paper, Chad's government couldn't comply, but offered to provide a pre-existing sample of the same type of passport, several U.S. officials said. It wasn't enough to persuade Homeland Security to make an exception to requirements the agency has been applying strictly and literally to countries across the globe, said the officials, who requested anonymity to discuss disagreements within the administration.

the Democratic National Committee is!
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...o-name-lobbyists-operatives-as-superdelegates
The Democratic Party this week plans to name 75 people including lobbyists and political operatives to leadership posts that come with superdelegate votes at its next presidential convention, potentially aggravating old intraparty tensions as it struggles to confront President Donald Trump.
The new members-at-large of the Democratic National Committee will vote on party rules and in 2020 will be convention delegates free to vote for a primary candidate of their choice. They include lobbyists for Venezuela’s national petroleum company and for Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., according to a list obtained by Bloomberg News. At least three of the people worked for either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders in 2016 while also casting ballots as superdelegates.
The superdelegate system has been a focus of complaints from supporters of Sanders, the Vermont senator who challenged Clinton, and activists on the left, who have said the party’s nominating system is rigged in favor of corporate interests. While most superdelegates are elected to a public or party office, the at-large DNC members are chosen by party leaders.
The appointment of active corporate lobbyists as at-large members of the 447-member Democratic National Committee has aroused controversy in the past.
“I will register my customary objections" to the selection of at-large members, said Christine Pelosi, a California-based vice-chair of the DNC who in February authored a proposal to bar the appointment of corporate lobbyists as superdelegates. The national committee voted down her proposal.
Party spokesman Michael Tyler stressed the demographic reach of the at-large nominees, saying they “reflect the unprecedented diversity of our party’s coalition.” The party is doubling the representation of millennials and Native Americans on the DNC and increasing the number of Puerto Ricans, he said.
Iowa, New Hampshire
The influence of any one delegate is limited in a presidential nominating convention that in 2016 included more than 4,700 members. But the slate of 75 at-large members that DNC Chairman Tom Perez will ask the committee to approve Saturday is more than the combined 68 delegates at stake in the 2016 Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary.
More than 700 superdelegates cast ballots at the 2016 convention, most of them Democratic members of Congress, governors or national committee members.
Pelosi, whose mother is House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, has opposed for two decades the inclusion of at-large members in the DNC because she believes that all of the national committee’s members should be elected to their seats and represent a specific state, region or constituency.
A DNC aide who asked not to be identified defended including the lobbyists, saying they were all carry-overs from the last presidential election cycle and were renominated because of their service to the party.
News Corp., Citgo
One of the lobbyists is Joanne Dowdell, who’s registered as a federal lobbyist for News Corp., where she’s senior vice president for global government affairs. Dowdell ran for New Hampshire’s House seat as a Democrat in 2012 and is a party donor.
Two other lobbyists who disclosed corporate clients in their most recent public reports are Clinton White House veteran Harold Ickes and Manuel Ortiz. Ortiz’s clients this year include CITGO Petroleum Corp, owned by the Venezuelan government, and Citigroup Management Corp. Ortiz also lobbies for Puerto Rican interests.
The three lobbyists didn’t respond to requests for comment.
At least 10 of the other superdelegates chosen by Perez have in the past been registered federal corporate lobbyists, with their most recent filings ranging from late last year to nearly a decade ago.

Got to say I’m a bit nervous about this congresswoman who is in the middle of this war of words with Trump over the dead solider... I could be wrong but I’m getting the impression that she’s enjoying the attention and the cynical part of mind questions her motives. She’s making some pretty huge claims now about John Kelly being racist because he called her an “empty barrel”.
I think the whole thing is unpleasant from trumps comments in the first place , to what felt like the using of Kelly and the loss of his child to the congresswoman and then Kelly’s reply. It’s just all feels a bit distasteful, if the family want to protest or complain then they have every right but involvement of others feels tawdry.
I do agree she needs to let it drop and move on but...
She did admit however she thought it might be racist that she had never heard of the phrase and her staff tried to look up what it means. They claim they came across something that made it seem racist but were not too sure.
Either way poor choice of words by Kelly. Why he is actively involved i'll never know. Considering there's claims he was super pissed at Trump for using his son as an example.
The fact that the congresswoman has been confirmed as hearing the call by the mother of the slain lad means the white house need to let it go. Clearly Trump said it and he needs to let it drop. He has bigger issues.
Other family's have come forth and claimed he was insensitive to them also and i fear that it will become a contest of family's of dead soldiers either criticizing him or defending him. New sites are now using both pro trump family's and anti Trump family's to stoke the fire. How would that look to the rest of the world that dead soldiers family's go after each other because of politics.
Seth Abramson on twitter is writing a long read via tweetstorm on the Trump-Russia affair. It's very interesting.
