    A booming economy under President Trump doesn't meet definition of being treason.

    Rebuilding our military that was severely damaged under Obama isn't treason.

    The current military deployments ordered by the Trump administration that couldn't have been made two years ago isn't treason.

    For the first time in ten years the majority of new jobs that were created went to native born Americans not immigrants, illegal aliens and non citizens doesn't sound like treason.

    President Trump enforcing the laws that were passed by Congress that weren't enforced by Obama isn't treason.

    Attempting to defend America's sovereignty and protecting our borders isn't treason

    During the 1980's when President Reagan tried to secure our borders and enforce America's immigration laws Reagan put Harold Ezell in charge of the western region of the INS who started enforcing our laws. The left yelled racism and Harold Ezell was forced to resign and we have had open borders with little enforcement until Trump became President.

    Any time a President is upholding the oath of office and enforcing the immigration laws passed by Congress you are going to hear from the left "racism."

    The United States imports most of the uranium it uses as fuel
    Owners and operators of U.S. nuclear power reactors purchased the equivalent of 50.6 million pounds of uranium in 2016. About 11% of the uranium delivered to U.S. reactors in 2016 was produced in the United States and 89% came from other countries.

    Sources and shares of purchases of uranium produced in foreign countries in 2016:

    • Canada–25%
    • Kazakhstan–24%
    • Australia–20%
    • Russia–14%
    • Uzbekistan–4%
    • Malawi, Namibia, Niger, and South Africa–10%
    • Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, Germany, and Ukraine–2%

    Hillary had 140 million good reason$. But Margot will explain that I don't understand how Clinton's "public charity" works ... Or nepotism, cronyism, or money laundering either.

    Wrong. This got us involved in WWI
    [​IMG]

    It's a telegram that Germans still claim was a trick by the British because they (the British) knew it would get us involved. It translates into Germany telling Mexico that they'll help Mexico get Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas back as Mexican territory if Mexico helps Germany defend against the US. The Brits claimed to have intercepted that message from Germany in 1917.

    Frank Guistra, a Canadian, owned small mining operations in the US and sold them along with his large mining operations in Khazikstan.

    It's a strange new world the alt-left is attempting to impose on everyone.

    I'd be highly surprised if anyone besides CNN and MSNBC took it seriously.

    We've had a very lengthy debate on the subject Margot. You won't accept, or at least won't admit the entire arrangement reeks of corruption. Believe, or maintain whatever you like about Uranium 1 Giustra & Clinton ... I can't be persuaded or bullied. Clinton was bribed, and US interests were sacrificed for Hillary's personal gain.

    So was it the Marco Polo Bridge incident or was it because of Germany invading Poland that started WWII?

    And Strzok is an FBI; should we automatically take anything Strzok says or writes as truth, without suspecting, or parsing? After all, he’s an FBI?

    Of course we should; why then you Libs do not trust the FBI when they themselves say, they’ve colluded and conspired against Trump? :nana:

    the bubble in which they live is hermetically sealed. That's how they think they can get away with branding tens of millions of hard working, law abiding, tax paying Americans 'deplorables', 'bitter clingers', 'racists'....

    they have schit in their proverbial mess kits and don't possess the janitorial skills to clean it up. and it's freaking glorious to witness.

    I think the idea, or current narrative, that the "intelligence community" shouldn't be subject to critical review or that they're salt of the earth, pure as the driven snow patriots 24/7/365 is a seriously flawed premise. Of all government organs the intelligence apparatus is the one that requires the most vigilance, especially in a democracy.

    Since its inception and before numerous presidents have offered sober warnings about the CIA and other intelligence and counterintellegence empowered agencies. No rational mind is sanguine abut these functions, they are necessary evils in dealing with foreign actors. When these agencies start to use counterintelligence on internal politics be afraid, very afraid.

    Truman’s True Warning on the CIA

    Exclusive: National security secrecy and a benighted sense of “what’s good for the country” can be a dangerous mix for democracy, empowering self-interested or misguided officials to supplant the people’s will, as President Truman warned and ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern explains.

    By Ray McGovern

    Fifty years ago, exactly one month after John Kennedy was killed, the Washington Post published an op-ed titled “Limit CIA Role to Intelligence.” The first sentence of that op-ed on Dec. 22, 1963, read, “I think it has become necessary to take another look at the purpose and operations of our Central Intelligence Agency.”

    It sounded like the intro to a bleat from some liberal professor or journalist. Not so. The writer was former President Harry S. Truman, who spearheaded the establishment of the CIA 66 years ago, right after World War II, to better coordinate U.S. intelligence gathering. But the spy agency had lurched off in what Truman thought were troubling directions.

    [​IMG]
    President Harry S. Truman.

    Sadly, those concerns that Truman expressed in that op-ed — that he had inadvertently helped create a Frankenstein monster — are as valid today as they were 50 years ago, if not more so.

    Wasn't Trump's former lawyer McCarthy's lead council?

    All this talk of Uranium got me in the mood to watch Back to the Future because Doc stole Plutonium from Libyans.

    Thank God for technology while I'm stuck at work today. I can watch this from my DVR.

    You do realise that the only time that Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was used was by America, after 9/11, right?

    I'm aware of our failure in the War on Terror, yes. It doesn't make a difference as to the national interest of America. I don't feel as though I owe the world, or the European world American bodies. We gave Europeans plenty of blood in the span of 2 decades.

    America for America. The Europeans don't apply, as they are not Americans.
