LifeSiteNews is freaking

quote:

November 16, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) — President-elect Donald Trump is considering appointing open homosexual Richard Grenell as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, according to a Fox News report citing a source “familiar with transition planning.”

Grenell advocates homosexual “marriage” as a “conservative” issue, criticizes “loud religious right activists,” and touts Trump’s uniquely pro-LGBT credentials as a Republican. If appointed, he would become the “first openly gay person to hold a cabinet-level foreign policy post,” Fox News reported. (Under the Bush I and Bush II administrations, the UN Ambassador was not a cabinet-level position.)

The potential appointment of Grenell caused Christian conservative Bryan Fischer of American Family Association to tweet: “Heads up to conservatives: we'll have to fight Trump as hard on the homosexual agenda as we would have had to fight Hillary.”

It is not known how seriously the Trump team is considering Grenell for this key slot — one of the most visible positions in the foreign policy apparatus, behind U.S. Secretary of State. The late, tough-minded Jeane Kirkpatrick gained fame at U.S. Ambassador to the UN under President Reagan.

Grenell is a fixture on Fox News espousing his conservative foreign policy worldview. He has held various communications positions in different levels of government and “in 2001, he was appointed by President George W. Bush to serve as Director of Communications and Public Diplomacy for the United States Ambassador to the United Nations,” according to his online bio.

He regularly criticizes President Obama’s foreign policy as too weak on issues like destroying ISIS terrorists and standing with America’s strong ally, Israel. However, social conservatives question if and how he would change the Obama legacy of promoting homosexualism and transgenderism as a “human right” abroad.

In 2012, Grenell resigned shortly after being hired as a spokesman for then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney after some ill-advised Tweets surfaced and GOP conservatives criticized his appointment as an openly homosexual adviser. The Washington Post reported that Grenell “had a reputation as a polarizing figure among press who worked with him in the past, with some U.N. reporters describing Grenell as overbearing and untrustworthy.”

Continue Obama’s pro-LGBT foreign activism?

Many wonder if President-elect Trump will continue Obama’s aggressively pro-LGBT foreign policy. Under Obama and his then-Secretary of State Clinton, the United States enforced a policy — announced in a Clinton UN speech — of “gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights.” While there is widespread consensus that systematic hatred and violence against homosexuals — or anyone — is a human rights issue, under Obama the idea was applied much more widely — pushing countries to embrace homosexual “marriage” (legal in the United States only since 2015), and using U.S. foreign aid to punish poor nations into abandoning any law construed to be “anti-gay” by liberal Western standards.

Hence in Jamaica, U.S. and European Union diplomats and bureaucrats brought pressure to bear against the tiny Caribbean nation to repeal its “anti-buggery law.” (Buggery is an old British term for sodomy.) However, the law remained on the books as Jamaicans rallied against what many considered to be American “cultural imperialism.” In 2015, one poll found that an amazing 91 percent of Jamaicans opposed repeal of the anti-buggery law.

Another Obama first that drew much criticism from countries where homosexuality is more widely regarded as immoral than in the United States was the practice of flying the homosexual/bi/transgender activist “rainbow” flag at U.S. Embassies abroad on LGBTQ activist celebration days like IDOHOT (International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia) — and after the terrorist slaughter in Orlando, Florida.

Dr. Wayne West, a prominent pro-family advocate in Jamaica as chairman of the Jamaica Coalition for a Healthy Society, told LifeSiteNews regarding the possibility of Grenell getting the UN post: “I am disappointed. The United Nations is one of the primary political advocates for the wholly illogical LGBTQ+ ideology. I hope that President Trump does not follow President Obama’s path of cultural imperialism.”

quote:

Giuliani said,”Look, there’s tradition in American politics that after you win an election, you sort of put things behind you. If that’s the decision he reached, that’s perfectly consistent with sort of the historical pattern of things come up, you say a lot of things, even some bad things might happen, and then you sort of put it behind you in order to unite the nation. So if he made that decision, I would be supportive. I’d also be supportive of continuing the investigation. I think the president-elect had a tough choice there. He made the choice to unite the nation. I think all those people who did vote against him maybe can take another look at him.”

Oh no! Not even in office yet and the lies are underway. The people need to voice their objections, the lying will continue for sure. 40 years of corruption swept away! You honestly think this will unite the party, the people, liberals, the media? Your kidding your self. The lies will not stop on the liberal media end, political hacks will forget in no time and lie away. Charge these people. You said you would.

-

As President Elect he has access to info that he didn't have before, possibly including confirmation of our suspicions that Hillary Rotten is dying anyway. If that is true, prosecution would be seen by many as unnecessary cruelty. I would wait until all the dust settles before making any judgment.

-

Okay, people. Calm it down. Lots of 'concern trolls' coming out of the woodwork. Lots of reactive comments. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. People need to read Sun Tzu - The Art of War. People put their faith in 'The Donald' a year and a half ago for a reason. What happened to that faith? Keep an eye on his actions, not his words. The major objective has been accomplished - we got a non-establishment politician elected as POTUS. Sure, there are going to be shakeups and unexpected twists, turns, and swerves - but isn't that what we elected him for? We didn't elect him to be predictable. He's already accomplished more in two weeks than Obama did in the first 6 weeks of his term, and he's not even sworn in yet! Keep it real!!

-

If that is the case, he will be a 1 term President for me. Same old Politician, all talk no action. What a BS!!!!!!

WHAT IS THE ALT-RIGHT?? ...and why Trump should not be disavowing it. Do not give Trump a free pass on this or on not wanting a prosecution of Hillary Clinton on criminal charges.

1) The Alt Right is of the political right in both the American and the
European sense of the term. Socialists are not Alt Right. Progressives
are not Alt Right. Liberals are not Alt Right. Communists, Marxists,
Marxians, cultural Marxists, and neocons are not Alt Right.

2) The Alt Right is an ALTERNATIVE to the mainstream conservative
movement in the USA that is nominally encapsulated by Russel Kirk's 10 Conservative Principles, but in reality has devolved towards progressivism. It is also an alternative to libertarianism.
The Alt Right is not a defensive attitude and rejects the concept of
noble and principled defeat. It is a forward-thinking philosophy of
offense, in every sense of that term. The

3) Alt Right believes in victory
through persistence and remaining in harmony with science, reality,
cultural tradition, and the lessons of history.

4) The Alt Right believes Western civilization is the pinnacle of human
achievement and supports its three foundational pillars: Christianity,
the European nations, and the Graeco-Roman legacy.

5) The Alt Right is openly and avowedly nationalist. It supports all
nationalisms and the right of all nations to exist, homogeneous and
unadulterated by foreign invasion and immigration.

6) The Alt Right is anti-globalist. It opposes all groups who work for globalist ideals or globalist objectives.

7) The Alt Right is anti-equalitarian. It rejects the idea of equality
for the same reason it rejects the ideas of unicorns and leprechauns,
noting that human equality does not exist in any observable scientific,
legal, material, intellectual, sexual, or spiritual form.

8)The Alt Right is scientodific. It presumptively accepts the current
conclusions of the scientific method (scientody), while understanding a)
these conclusions are liable to future revision, b) that scientistry is
susceptible to corruption, and c) that the so-called scientific
consensus is not based on scientody, but democracy, and is therefore
intrinsically unscientific.

9) The Alt Right understands that diversity + proximity = war.

10) The Alt Right rejects international free trade and the free movement of
peoples that free trade requires. The benefits of intranational free
trade is not evidence for the benefits of international free trade.

11) The Alt Right is a philosophy that values peace among the various
nations of the world and opposes wars to impose the values of one nation
upon another as well as efforts to exterminate individual nations through war, genocide, immigration, or genetic assimilation.

Mistake.
I knew I was too happy with him so far ,he had to make a big mistake.

I have been somehow "alternative right ",an anti establishment right winger much ,MUCH before the word existed,supporting every very imperfect candidate and various characters,even very wrong on certain stances , as long as they were somehow alternative to the corrupted GOP.
That was and is the main thing to me.
It does not matter what and how they could have been imperfect or even wrong ,Perot,Buchanan,even Paul ..even as far as Duke,who cares about his baggage? They were each one and all somehow "alternative right".
There is nothing wrong about being on the right,there is also everything right about being ALTERNATIVE to the establishment.

Someone should inform Trump that:
1)
He is alternative right and that's where much of his win and political success comes from.
And

Good luck with that one, Gavin. Or “Toast” as we’ll shortly be calling you…


quote:

Secondly, President-Elect Trump holds the old-fashioned view that the job of an organisation called National Aeronautics and Space Administration really ought to involve stuff like space exploration – not, as it became under President Obama, an official promoter of climate alarmism and a vehicle for Muslim outreach.

One of many similar comments

quote:

I admire lofty goals however "find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math and engineering" is as much a fraud as manipulating the climate change numbers.

Let's just stop and show some common sense; Muslim nations have contributed next to nothing in science, math and engineering, especially compared to to the percentage they represent of the total population and climate change campaign is nothing more than a naked power grab to get more money into government coffers.

Found this rant on YouTube comments of a Trump snl bit from last night

quote:

Trump's "pay for play"schemes?" You really suck hard on the teat of left-wing stupidity, don't you? You're confusing Trump with Hag Hillary, you know, the one with the long record of graft, incompetence, and deceit; the bought and paid for corporate-globalist shill trying to start a war with Russia over the Chocolate Muslims' failed foreign policy in the Middle East which caused the rise of ISIS? If you want to talk about "fake news", I suggest you take a good sober look at your favorite liberal media spigots, who've spouted nothing but false information about Trump and the direction of the presidential election from start to finish. Fool me once shame you you, fool my twice, well---only a liberal gets fooled again. That's because a will to self-delusion is a prominent, integral trait in the personality inventory of the inveterate liberal sociopath.

You know, the kind of person who, in assessing a record like that of the Skinny Smoking Golfer, a.k.a., Trayvon's Father, sees the disaster of soaring national debt, increasing poverty, welfare dependence, unemployment, and crime, a spate of deadly Muslim terror attacks around the world on the heels of an utterly failed policy, the gutting and demoralization of the military, endless violent race riots, open borders crime and chaos, the continual flogging of the causes celebres of sexual degenerates as America loses its preeminent strength and standing in the world and jobs continue to flee to Mexico, etc, ad nauseam, smugly declares this obscenity of a administration as having achieved "progress". If "progress" towards economic insolvency, more Muslim terrorism, more poor people who depend upon government largesse, and greater social instability and violence, is your idea of a legacy of "accomplishments" by this president,", then I would suggest you remove your three-inch thick leftist spectacles and take honest stock of the blood and guts consequences of the obscenity you are touting.

Trump isn't even in office, and already he's busy making deals with American companies to keep high paying jobs in this country. Again, he's not even in office yet, and he's begun to do what he's promised to do. He's appointed tough, smart people like General James Mattis, to defend our nation, which is under serious threat from ISIS and from the border. As for China, your knee-jerkliberal caviling has not given us any compelling reason to think that Pres-elect Trump should mimic the feckless approach of Obama in slavishly appeasing countries whose interests on the economic and diplomatic world stage compete directly with our own. Unlike the Chocolate Muslim, Trump understands how the world really works; he knows on which side the bread of the Chinese is buttered, and who it is that is doing the buttering. The Chinese thrive only through our cooperation and investments.

There is no need, therefore, to rush to placate every defiant statement issued by any of their corrupt, one-party Communist apparatchiks. And while the skinny Chocolate Muslim may not actually be a Muslim (have you not heard of something called hyperbole?), the fact remains that his public statements, reveal him to be a rather fervid Islamophile, going so far as to put forth the absurd assertion that "ISIL has nothing to do with Islam" or that refugees from failed states in the Muslim world aren't a terror threat and have been thoroughly vetted, when experience has been plainly shown time and time again to say otherwise.

We are in a war to the death with violent fanatical savages who are supported by entire nation-states in their quest for bloody Jihad against the West, and this phony narcissist LOSER named Barrack Hussein Obama (formerly Barry Soetoro) is out delivering solemn lectures on the evils of "Islamophobia" and "hate". They should make him and his daughters live among Syrian and Somali Muslim refugees. But of course, the "blessing" of "cultural enrichment" which this third world invasion is held to represent, is oh so magnanimously reserved for poor white people and *their* kids. And you leftist douchebags want to sit there, safely ensconced in your armchairs, and cynically moralize to us about "bigotry"? You filthy hypocrites!

Tony Perkins is not a fan of Rex and
It has nothing to do with Russia or lack of experience


quote:

Donald Trump put a lot of names in the pipeline to head the State Department, but few have fueled more controversy than ExxonMobil CEO and Chairman Rex Tillerson. The oil mogul, who’s spent his more than 40 years with the company, is one of the many names floated for the most-watched nomination of the new administration.

The Left, which doesn’t usually need a reason to oppose Trump’s choices, won’t find many here, since the ExxonMobil executive may be the greatest ally liberals have in the Cabinet for their abortion and LGBT agendas. That should be particularly alarming to conservatives, who’ve spent the last eight years watching the State Department lead the global parade for the slaughter of innocent unborn children and the intimidation of nations with natural views on marriage and sexuality.

No sooner had Hillary Clinton taken over the State Department in 2009 than the White House ordered her to use the agency as a club to beat other nations into submission on sensitive culture issues — a tradition that successor John Kerry has been all too eager to continue.

Now, after two terms of exporting radical social policy, Americans could finally see the light at the end of the Obama administration tunnel. To hear that Donald Trump may be appointing a man who not only led the charge to open the Boy Scouts to gay troop leaders but whose company directly gives to Planned Parenthood is upsetting at best. FRC knows Tillerson all too well, having worked for years to put the brakes on his reckless agenda for a scouting organization that was already dealing with staggering numbers of sexual abuse cases.

Unfortunately, the BSA, under Tillerson, ultimately caved to the pressure of the far-Left, irreparably splitting the Scouts and destroying a proud and honorable American tradition. Under his chairmanship, ExxonMobil’s score on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate “Equality” Index has also skyrocketed to 87 percent. Still, Trump calls Rex a “world class player and dealmaker,” but if these are the kinds of deals Tillerson makes — sending dollars to an abortion business that’s just been referred for criminal prosecution and risking the well-being of young boys under his charge in an attempt to placate radical homosexual activists — then who knows what sort of “diplomacy” he would champion at DOS?

Meanwhile, it seems Tillerson will have plenty of GOP opposition over his ties to something (or rather, someone) else: Russian President Vladamir Putin. The pair’s friendship, which started in the 1990s, is raising plenty of eyebrows on Capitol Hill, where senators like Marco Rubio (R-Fl.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) weren’t shy about their objections.

“It’s a matter of concern to me that he has such a close personal relationship with Vladimir Putin,” McCain said Sunday, pointing out the “enormous deals” the two had done together. “That would color his approach to Vladimir Putin and the Russian threat.” Rubio echoed those concerns, tweeting “Being a ‘friend of Vladimir’ is not an attribute I am hoping for from #SecretaryOfState.”

Russia is just one hurdle Tillerson will face in his confirmation hearings with Senate Republicans. He’s also supported the carbon tax and, like President-elect Trump, has never held political or diplomatic office. For groups like FRC, who are tired of the State Department being used as a weapon in the global war on values, the problems run much deeper.

The agency already has an image problem after almost a decade of failing to respect the traditions and beliefs of other countries. The last thing Americans need is a leader who would continue to advocate (however subtly) the leftist social policy of the Obama years.
