Jamieson Greer: "Think about Abraham Lincoln -- he was against slavery, he was for tariffs. President Trump similarly, he's for tariffs and he's against forced labor."

If you were to write this headline or article in a variety of US, UK, German or French media outlets, your career might be on the line and you’d probably be accused of antisemitism.

And yet the author of this piece is a former prime minister for Israel.

Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Summers, May 2017, re: Trump sh!t show: ‘Your world does not understand how dumb he really is’

[Bill Roberts @BillRoberts3]

Trump's political exposure to the Epstein files worsens as House Republicans face a vote (sooner or later) on releasing the files.

[David Shuster @DavidShuster]

A few GOP house members say they’ve heard from FBI/DOJ contacts that the Epstein files (with copies in different agencies) are worse than Michael Wolff’s description of Epstein photos showingTrump with half naked teenage girls. Speculation/rumors sweeping through GOP caucus. 1/

Jamieson Greer says he thinks China realizes that they have “overstepped.”

[Bill Roberts @BillRoberts3]

This is threatening speech coming from a top Trump White House official. He is using the language of war to demonize and label the political opposition and courts of law. Just two hours after Judge Goodstein's house was torched in SC, Miller is green-lighting political violence.

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.

Israel has started a fight it can't finish and is now pushing the US to engage another Middle East war that is not in Americans' interest.

[Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC]

President Trump has handled the Israel-Iran conflict brilliantly thus far.

Israel dominates the skies and has destroyed Iran’s military and scientific leadership.

They have also done great damage to Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. However the one site left standing - the deep underground Fordow site - must be dealt with to achieve the common objective of making sure Iran’s nuclear enrichment program ends.

The capabilities possessed by the United States for such a deep underground attack are unique to us and us alone.

Overwhelmingly Americans view the Iran nuclear threat as existential to both the U.S. and Israel.

Go all in. Finish the job.

US President Donald Trump has begun his second term in autocratic fashion, pushing US constitutional limits and attacking civil society and the legal profession.
