In the video newly elected member of Congress Ilhan Omar engaged in a nasty exchange with special envoy to Venezuela Elliott Abrams, accusing the diplomat of being a liar and pressing him on his involvement in the Iran-Contra affair and killings in Central America during the Reagan administration. She also appears to be accusing him of supporting genocide.
Abrams was named the special envoy to Venezuela last month, shortly after the Trump administration recognized opposition leader Juan Guaidó as the country’s legitimate president. The move came as part of an increasing effort to pressure embattled President Nicolás Maduro amid an economic and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.
Wednesday’s contentious exchange was the latest high-profile moment for Omar, in what she has just this week, come under bipartisan scrutiny after issuing multiple tweets on Sunday that were condemned as anti-Semitic.
Abrams is a highly educated and very experienced diplomat who has served in a variety of foreign policy positions for several U.S. Presidents. He received his B.A. from Harvard College, a Masters degree in international relations from the London School of Economics, and his J.D. from Harvard Law School. During George W. Bush’s first term in office, Abrams was appointed as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director on the National Security Council for Near East and North African Affairs. In Bush’s second term, he was given the job of deputy national security adviser. Abrams first came to national prominence in the Reagan administration in the 1980s, where he was Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights, and later Assistant Secretary for Inter-American Affairs. He is currently a senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. On January 25, 2019, he was appointed by President Trump as Special Envoy on Venezuela.
I’m not sure what qualifications and experience (if any) Ms Omar has to her name.
It’s interesting how Abrams reacts with calm and dignity while the (IMHO) repulsive Ilhan Omar spews out her loathing of the US. She is meant to be using her time to question Abrams on behalf of American voters. Instead she just uses it to insult him
Ilhan Omar seems to be typical of the violently anti-American, anti-white and anti-semitic garbage that the historically-ignorant, virtue-signalling, libtard snowflake generation have elected into the US Government. And, as far as I understand, Ms Omar has called for funding for the US Department of Homeland Security and ICE (Immigration and Customs Control) to be drastically cut. I think we can imagine why she would do that?
In my most recent blog, I featured a learned cleric from our most loveliest religion explaining that non-believers had four choices – convert, be oppressed, be enslaved or be killed. I even suggested that this cleric, who had probably studied the Koran for more than forty years, possibly knew more about his religion than British libtards desperately trying to come up with such a broad definition of Izlumophobia that free speech would be impossible.
I must apologise if this gave the impression that it was only worse than pigs and apes unbelievers who were targets for a bit of a bashing from the world’s most peacefullest religion.
For hundreds of years, a schism in Christianity left Catholics and Protestants torturing and murdering each other in quite a variety of unpleasant ways. Similarly a schism between Sunnis and Shiites has led to members of the peacefullest most tolerantest religion also slaughtering each other in fairly high numbers.
Just to illustrate, here’s a ‘heartwarming’ story from Sunni Saudi Arabia.
This is 6-year-old Zakaria Al-Jaber
Or at least this was Zakaria Al-Jaber. I imagine he doesn’t look quite the same since he was beheaded by a Sunni taxi driver.
Multiple sources provide conflicting reports regarding the details of the boy’s murder, but all are consistent in the claim that the child was beheaded using broken glass in front of his mother.
According to Shia Rights Watch, Zakaria Al-Jaber and his mother had taken a taxi to a shrine in Medina, and when they arrived an “unknown man approached them” and asked if they were Shiite Muslims.
The mother reportedly said “yes”.
Activists report that minutes after this conversation a car stopped by the woman and pulled the child away from her and attacked him with a broken piece of glass. Witnesses report that Zakaria Al-Jaber was beheaded from behind as mother watched and screamed.
Shia Rights Watch claims that no bystanders intervened. Whether this was because they were afraid of being hurt, were filming the beheading on their mobile phones or were quite pleased to see a Shiite getting murdered is not clear.
According “sources close to the family,” the perpetrator was the taxi driver who stopped the car and “forced the boy out near a coffee shop in the Al-Tilal neighborhood.” The driver then allegedly smashed a glass bottle to obtain a shard of glass, which he then used to slash the boy’s throat, and stab him.
The traumatized mother is said to have tried to stop the driver from attacking the boy but fainted.
Clearly the Saudi authorities have been learning from European leaders as they quickly issued a statement declaring that the boy’s murderer had ‘mental health issues’. Therefore, as the murderer had these ‘mental health issues’, the beheading obviously had nothing to do with any religion.
These ‘mental health issues’ really seem to be occurring ever more frequently in ever more countries.
Our rulers are busy making up new definitions of Izlumophobia in order to suppress any criticism of our wonderfullest, most favouritest religion.
Here’s the latest version from a few councils:
• Calling for, aiding, instigating or justifying the killing or harming of Muslims in the name of a racist/fascist ideology, or an extremist view of religion.
• Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Muslims as such, or of Muslims as a collective group, such as, especially but not exclusively, conspiracies about Muslim entryism in politics, government or other societal institutions; the myth of Muslim identity having a unique propensity for terrorism and claims of a demographic ‘threat’ posed by Muslims or of a ‘Muslim takeover’.
• Accusing Muslims as a group of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Muslim person or group of Muslim individuals, or even for acts committed by non-Muslims.
• Accusing Muslims as a group, or Muslim majority states, of inventing or exaggerating Islamophobia, ethnic cleansing or genocide perpetrated against Muslims.
Community or to their countries of origin, or to the alleged priorities of Muslims worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.
• Denying Muslim populations, the right to self-determination e.g., by claiming that the existence of an independent Palestine or Kashmir is a terrorist endeavour.
• Applying double standards by requiring of Muslims behaviours that are not expected or demanded of any other groups in society, eg loyalty tests.
• Using the symbols and images associated with classic Islamophobia.
• Holding Muslims collectively responsible for the actions of any Muslim majority state, whether secular or constitutionally Islamic.
And now from someone who knows what they’re talking about
But here’s someone who probably knows more about our bestest most loved religion than those progressive libtard idiots who are trying to extend the definition of Izlumophobia to crush any semblance of free speech.
In his weekly fatwa session, which he uploads to his YouTube channel, Kuwaiti cleric Othman Al-Khamis said that apostates must be killed. In a video uploaded on January 9, 2019, Sheikh Al-Khamis said that apostasy is tantamount to scorning Islam. In an October 14, 2015 video, Sheikh Al-Khamis said that only infidels may be enslaved, adding that people who do not worship Allah must convert to Islam, pay the jizya poll tax, be forced into slavery, or be fought against and killed.
If we’re to believe that this fine and wise cleric knows slightly more about the happiest and most peacefullest religion in the world than progressive British libtards, then it’s not a phobia when they tell you they want to forcibly convert you and, if you refuse to convert, they want to oppress you, enslave you or kill you:
This weekend I’d like to introduce you to Hewad Shivzad. It’s just possible that the BBC and C4 News and all the other mainstream media will decide that Hewad Shivzad’s story isn’t newsworthy.
This young chap, Hewad Shivzad, is just 19 years old. Here he is:
What I mean is that he claims to be just 19 years old. Hewad Shivzad claims to be 19 years old now because, when he originally entered the UK to claim asylum in March 2017, he said he was just 17 years old. This hugely increased his chances of being granted leave to remain as a supposed ‘vulnerable child’.
You or I might be tempted to think that this fine fellow, Hewad Shivzad, looks to be at least 30. But the Home Office and immigration authorities never do medical checks on would-be child migrants to establish their real age as that would be waaaccciiissssttt. So we have to accept that Hewad Shivzad is 19 years old as he claims. This mirrors the fiasco when Britain was forced by pressure from virtue-signalling progressive libtards to take in a bunch of supposed ‘child refugees’ from Calais. Most of these ‘child refugees looked to be rather older than children:
Talking of children, let me explain the contribution multi-cultural enricher Hewad Shivzad has made to our once great country.
Hewad Shivzad isolated a primary school-age girl and lured her away to subject her to a sexual attack lasting 30 to 40 minutes. He ignored her pleas for him to stop, sexually assaulted her and forced himself on her, Teesside Crown Court heard. If the girl was of primary-school age, then she would have been anything from 5 to 11 years old at the time Hewad Shivzad decided to give her a jolly good dose of multi-cultural enrichment.
A judge said the victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was a blameless, charming, innocent and “innately kind” girl. She read out a moving statement from the girl’s mother, who said: “I’m worried that this will have ruined her life.” The mum said the rape massively affected her daughter, leading to anger, violent behaviour and harming herself. “We are really struggling as a family,” she added. “She talks about what happened all the time. I think that she’s depressed. I really need some help for her.”
Hewad Shivzad has been sent to prison. But he’ll probably serve half or less of his supposed 15-year sentence and be out on the streets again in about 7 years or less. As far as I understand, there has been no mention of deporting him when he is released even though he clearly lied about his age to stay in Britain and even though he raped a child of primary-school age.
In his life in Britain, Hewad Shivzad will probably damage many more innocent lives and probably cost us millions of pounds in benefits and policing and prison costs. Yet nobody has considered throwing him out of our country. After all, as the progressive media and the brain-dead, virtue-signalling snowflakes produced by our failing learn-nothing schools and safe-space universities keep telling us:
Though the parents of tens of thousands of raped and abused girls might not agree with the progressive libtards that the Third-World detritus our rulers are so enthusiastically importing to turn our boring, white monocultural country into a thriving, diverse multi-cultural paradise are quite as harmless as the virtue-signalling elites claim.
I had always thought that the primary duty of any government is to protect its own people. It is not to give a life of luxury, with almost unlimited money and sex, to every piece of parasitic, pig-ignorant, illiterate, low-IQ, unemployable, deeply criminal, rape-obsessed Third-World sh*t who decides to come here.
It’s clear from Hewad Shivzad’s story and thousands of similar cases that our government has failed in this most basic duty.
For years supposed ‘comedians’ on the BBC and other channels have ‘entertained’ us by mocking anyone with views that aren’t leftist, progressive, virtue-signalling, rapemigrant-hugging and politically correct.
But finally a comedy sketch has emerged that dares ridicule the progressive, lefty, #metoo, snowflake idiots who have turned our democracy into an idiocracy.
The sketch isn’t great but it’s at least a small glimpse of hope as we descend into sheep-like snowflake madness:
I want you to imagine the population of the UK doubling every 20 years. Officially there are just over 66 million people living in the UK. But if you include all the unregistered illegal immigrants, the real figure is probably comfortably over 70 million. However, for the purposes of this exercise, let’s accept the official 66 million figure.
So, if the UK population doubled every 20 years we’d have about 132 million people by 2040 and around 264 million by 2060. It should be more than blindingly obvious to anyone except a progressive, liberal, rapefugee-hugging moron that such population growth would be utterly disastrous. There would be mass unemployment, widespread poverty, most people would be living in overcrowded slums and there would be constant civil war as different ethnic groups fought over limited resources of food, water and space, while the rich would retreat into well-guarded, fortress-like compounds. Britain with 264 million people (or even 132 million) would be a dystopia that would make Soylent Green look like girl guides’ picnic.
Fortunately, Britain’s population is not doubling every 20 years. But the population of Crapistan is;
In fact, the population of practically every Asian and African sh*thole is doubling every 20 or so years:
When writing about poverty and famine and floods and earthquakes and suchlike, the one word the media never use is “self-inflicted”. Africa is NOT poor. Africa is one of the richest continents in the world. Africa has massive resources of land, water and minerals. But most Africans live in abject poverty. Why? Because there are too many of them and because their populations are growing much faster than their economies.
“Help” scream Oxfam and Save the Children and Unicef’s well-paid bosses and kiddy-fiddling staff, “give us more money to help the poor Africans”. After World War II under the Marshall Plan, Europe received about $20 billion (in today’s money) over 5 years to aid rebuilding. Since massive aid started flowing into Africa in the mid 1960s, Africa has received about $20 billion (in today’s money) every 5 years – equivalent to ten Marshall Plans. The result – more Africans live in excremental cesspit poverty than they did before the huge flows of foreign aid started.
What about famines?
“Ah” the bleeding heart liberals protest “but what about famines? We need to help people affected by famines“. Rubbish. For example, there is a lack of rainfall in the Horn of Africa every 7 to 10 years. This is completely predictable and could be planned for. But it could only be planned for if Ethiopia and Somalia and Sudan etc had growing economies that could support their people. But all these sh*tholes have are rapidly growing populations that no reasonable amount of foreign aid can ever adequately feed, clothe and house. As I keep repeating, in 1964 or whenever it was that Saint Bob did his BandAid thingy, there were about 40 million Ethiopians, now there are about 100 million. And by 2040 there will be about 200 million. How are you going to find jobs, homes and food for all of those people?
What about floods?
“Ah” the bleeding heart liberals protest “but what about floods? We need to help people affected by floods”. Rubbish. The main reason there are often devastating floods in the usual Third-World sh*tholes is due to excessive population growth. This leads to deforestation so that, when the rains do come, they are not absorbed into the ground through the trees but instead turn into deadly torrents causing landslides and loss of life. When it was thought London might be flooded, the Thames Barrier was built between 1974 and 1984. Most floods can be avoided if a country has the resources and money.
What about civil war?
“Ah” the bleeding heart liberals protest “but what about civil war? We need to help people affected by civil wars”. Rubbish. Most civil wars start when there are too many people fighting over too few resources – land, food, water etc. If there were fewer people and thus more resources available for each person, probably most civil wars wouldn’t happen.
It’s population control we need, not aid!
As long as sh*thole countries double their populations every 20 or so years we will have misery, poverty, war and other disasters. This misery is mostly self-inflicted! But this is something the useless, biased, ever so progressive mainstream media will never admit.
In the last 30 years, with their one-child policy, the Chinese have managed to take over 600 million people out of poverty. In the last 30 years, due to their explosive population growth, our friends in Africa have managed to push another 600 million people into poverty
We need to stop giving foreign aid and charity to these countries with rapidly-growing populations. All we’re doing is encouraging yet more unsustainable population growth. Instead we need to set conditions on all foreign aid and charity money – that only countries with active birth control programmes will receive our help.
But we can’t do this as we would be accused of “neo-colonialism” and “neo-imperialism” and, of course, the old favourite “racism”.
So, we can’t stop Africa’s and all the Sh*tistans’ population explosion. In fact, through foreign aid and charities, we’re actually encouraging it. And when their failed sh*thole countries inevitably collapse, millions of these people will flood into Europe, overwhelm us and destroy what’s left of our civilisation:
On Thursday/Friday, I featured an article from the Gatestone Institute about how migrant grooming/rape gangs had started ‘doing a Rotherham’ in the Finnish town of Oulu. Part of the article I didn’t include went on to discuss why local politicians and the authorities were denying there was a problem and were refusing to take any action, just as Rotherham’s councillors, police and social services also all looked the other way while large gangs of our multi-cultural friends were enthusiastically enriching Rotherham’s underage girls using all the orifices they could find.
But perhaps I’m being unfair to the Finnish authorities. In some towns they seem to be making great efforts to integrate new arrivals. Here are some nice photos successful integration:
And here’s another:
And here’s another:
And here’s a small compilation:
There are plenty more similar photos from Finland available on the Internet.
What kind of parent would allow their young daughters to hang out with much older, migrant men from Africa and the Middle East? Only cowardly, libtard Finns brainwashed by political correctness into believing all cultures are equal when Western European culture is clearly vastly superior to the cultures of the self-inflicted sh*thole countries most of these migrants come from.
Oh, and by the way, the “ota raiskata tyttäremme” in the title of this weekend’s blog means “please rape our daughters” which seems to be the attitude of Finnish politicians, police and social services just as it was in Rotherham, Oxford, Newcastle, Bradford and so many other English towns.
Today I wanted to write about how Islamic terrorism (which, of course, has nothing to do with Islam which is a religion of peace) has been totally stopped in Myanmar while it is increasing in several neighbouring countries. But I suspect such a post would be considered politically-incorrect. So I’ll have to give this story a miss for the time being.
Instead, let’s travel to the small Finnish town of Oulu (population 200,000) which, given recent events, should probably be twinned with Rotherham (population 260,000). Here’s part of an article from the Gatestone Institute describing the happy goings-on in little Oulu:
Finland is a curious place. Tucked up under the arm of its celebrity sister Sweden and with Russia as a neighbour, it is one of the world’s most northern and geographically remote countries. It takes a hardy kind of European to withstand the severe climate. The Finns in Oulu, the most populous city in northern Finland, go about their lives as normal in -25 degrees Fahrenheit.
With a national population of just over 5.5 million, trees easily outnumber people; two-thirds of this country is blanketed in thick woodland, making it the most densely forested country in Europe.
Yet, this strange, seemingly forgotten land has a hideously metropolitan problem: Finland’s daughters are the target of grooming gangs.
In December 2018, Oulu police reported the arrest of seven men accused of repeatedly raping a ten-year-old girl. The police say the girl has allegedly been subjected to multiple sexual assaults over several months in the suspects’ homes.
The men, aged 20 to 40, all arrived in Finland as migrants or refugees in recent years (32,000 sought asylum here during the migrant wave in 2015) and are thought to have made contact with the victim on social media.
Locals in Oulu told Gatestone that many have observed the majority-Muslim migrant gangs in action in the local shopping mall; they send out their best-looking, nicely-scented friends to hook in young Finnish girls. Parents here are fearful for their children.
Finland’s Prime Minister Juha Sipilä took to Twitter to express his shock and anger, writing that “a sexual offence against a child is an inhumane act, and its wickedness cannot be comprehended.”
His naïveté seems startling. Internationally acknowledged studies on grooming gangs in the UK clearly evidence that this is a “wickedness” well-documented and well understood. There is no reason for it to come as a surprise.
His country’s official statistics from 2017 reveal that — nationally — Iraqi and Afghan migrants were represented up to 40 times more amongst sexual assault suspects than native Finns.
In Britain, the 2015 Jay Report into child sexual exploitation in Rotherham was an independent report into how child sexual exploitation (CSE) cases were handled by social services and police. It clearly identified how these grooming gangs operate, the brutality endured by their victims, and the “blatant” failure of police and politicians to act to protect the girls.
The findings in Professor Alexis Jay’s report clearly suggest that the numbers of victims and aggressors in Finland will keep rising as networks are uncovered and more girls have the courage to come forward.
Sure enough, Oulu’s police now suspect 16 foreign-born men of rape or other sexual abuses of girls aged between the ages of 10 and 15, and have added another four men to their investigation.
In addition, police in Finland’s capital, Helsinki, have acknowledged that they have arrested three foreign-born men on similar charges.
It seems cruel to reduce such violations to mere statistics or probability, but the truth can be unkind. Helsinki has a population of 630,000. Oulu’s population is just 200,000. There are two other cities of a similar size in this fridge cabinet of Europe: Turku and Tampere. The UK’s experience teaches us that it is a statistical probability that these cities will not be immune to having their children being targeted by the gangs.
It is a barbaric cruelty these children face. Professor Jay sets it out in black and white in her report:
“In just over a third of cases, children affected by sexual exploitation were previously known to services because of child protection and neglect. It is hard to describe the appalling nature of the abuse that child victims suffered. They were raped by multiple perpetrators, trafficked to other towns and cities in the north of England, abducted, beaten, and intimidated. There were examples of children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone. Girls as young as 11 were raped by large numbers of male perpetrators.”
It was evidently the “blatant” failings of police and politicians that allowed these men to continue raping and abusing these children; the authorities reportedly remained silent either for political gain or to avoid professional damage.
Much of the coverage of the same problem in Great Britain said that Jay had accused the Rotherham council and police of failing to tackle sexual exploitation because of misplaced “political correctness.” Yet Jay says those are not the words she would use:
“I have an aversion to phrases like that,” she says. Instead, she believes the Labour-dominated council turned a blind eye to the problem because of “their desire to accommodate a community that would be expected to vote Labour, to not rock the boat, to keep a lid on it, to hope it would go away.
What hits hardest in the little town of Oulu in Finland is a disturbing sense that history is repeating itself here and nothing has been learned from the well-documented lessons of the past. Instead there seems to be a hope that with a few overdue statements this problem will go back underground and the noise will go away.
Initial reports suggest that the abused girls and their parents were not necessarily believed; the police responded only after the strong intervention of the father and step-father of one victim, who set a trap for one of the groomers online.
It’s astounding our political elites seem to have no understanding at all about the hell they are unleashing on us through their obsession with allowing/encouraging uncontrolled Third-World immigration. And now, of course, following most countries signing the UN Compact for Safe and Orderly Migration, moving from a Third-World self-inflicted sh*thole to wealthy Western Europe will become a human right – a human right that millions of multi-cultural enrichers will decide to exercise.
There was a nice demonstration of tolerance last week when our friends from the Religion of Peace set off two bombs at a Catholic cathedral in the Philippines. The first bomb killed a few people and then the second bomb was detonated as security forces rushed to help the victims of the first bomb.
But despite that attack, it was a pretty quiet week last week with only 130 killed around the world in Religion of Peace attacks. Though another 276 innocents were injured
In comparison, in 2018 there were 1,976 Islamic attacks in 56 countries, in which 11,769 (226 a week) people were killed and 11,483 injured (221 a week).
In 2017 there were 2,044 Islamic attacks in 61 countries, in which 16,386 (315 a week) people were killed and 14,362 injured (278 a week).
In 2016 there were 2,498 Islamic attacks in 59 countries, in which 21,413 (412 people a week) people were killed and 26,730 injured (514 a week).
Yipee! The world is becoming a much safer place and the Religion of Peace truly is a Religion of Peace.
Well, I think it is.

Apologies to those of you who have already seen this story. But I thought it was so brilliant that it would be worth mentioning it again here in case anyone missed it.
I have just read the most grovelling and humiliating apology by a newspaper I have ever seen. It appeared in the Daily Telegraph.
I don’t know the whole story. But what I understand is that the Telegraph features desk loathe democratically-elected US President Donald Trump almost as much as all the other London-based, self-regarding, politically-correct, narcissistic, mainstream media progressives and decided to do an article denigrating Trump. I’m sure the Telegraph could have written what they wanted about Trump – that he’s a Russian spy or an alien sent to destroy the Earth or whatever – and Trump would have just put it down to Trump Derangement Syndrome and ignored it. But, in their wisdom, the Telegraph features desk decided to do a hatchet job on Trump’s wife, Melania.
How they must have laughed and congratulated themselves at the Telegraph features desk when they published their hatchet job. Unfortunately for the Telegraph’s features desk and the Telegraph’s owners, the newspaper made a big mistake by attacking the President’s wife. Because Trump is no ordinary politician. He’s a real man and real men fight to defend their families.
And so it came to pass. It seems that Trump decided to send in the lawyers to kick ass at the Telegraph. Here’s the result – the grovelling, humiliating Telegraph apology:
Following last Saturday’s (Jan 19) Telegraph magazine cover story “The mystery of Melania”, we have been asked to make clear that the article contained a number of false statements which we accept should not have been published. Mrs Trump’s father was not a fearsome presence and did not control the family. Mrs Trump did not leave her Design and Architecture course at University relating to the completion of an exam, as alleged in the article, but rather because she wanted to pursue a successful career as a professional model. Mrs Trump was not struggling in her modelling career before she met Mr Trump, and she did not advance in her career due to the assistance of Mr Trump.
We accept that Mrs Trump was a successful professional model in her own right before she met her husband and obtained her own modelling work without his assistance. Mrs Trump met Mr Trump in 1998, not in 1996 as stated in the article. The article also wrongly claimed that Mrs Trump’s mother, father and sister relocated to New York in 2005 to live in buildings owned by Mr Trump. They did not. The claim that Mrs Trump cried on election night is also false.
We apologise unreservedly to The First Lady and her family for any embarrassment caused by our publication of these allegations. As a mark of our regret we have agreed to pay Mrs Trump substantial damages as well as her legal costs.
The article, written by Nina Burleigh, who works for Newsweek as national politics correspondent, was an excerpt of her upcoming book Golden Handcuffs: The Secret History of Trump’s Women.
In April 2017, another British newspaper, Daily Mail, agreed to pay damages to Melania Trump over published allegations regarding her modeling career. The payout was around $3 million, according to the BBC
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Trump is amazing. He just keeps winning.
As for the pathetic Telegraph, they immediately went back on the attack against Trump with a story headlined #TrumpCaved: President slammed as ‘wimp’ by wall supporters after shutdown capitulation
It does seem as if Trump has backed down over the US government shutdown and funding for the border wall. And, of course, the Democrats will use the next two years to try to sabotage everything Trump does rather than trying to work with him for the benefit of the American people. But this sabotage may turn out to be disastrous for the Democrats should Trump decide to run for president again. It will expose them for what they are – hateful, self-obsessed, self-regarding, virtue-signalling, treacherous globalists with no interest at all in helping ordinary American voters.
Hopefully this will lead to another four years of one of the best presidents America has ever had.
