#Bringbackourgirls: How Trump made the US into Boko Haram ISIL and Boko Haram took girls hostage from some villages as a warning to other villages not to oppose them or they would be cut off from their families on a permanent basis. John Kelly, Jeff Sessions and Trump made clear that they were kidnapping children as a warning to Honduran and other villages not to defy them.

Not only Is Trump's Refugee Policy Morally Wrong, it is Illegal in US and Int'l Law The Family Separation Policy that Trump has "temporarily" set aside (in favor of indefinite detention of entire families) has in some ways obscured what is really going on in Trump's refugee policy overall. In essence, the Trump administration is attempting gradually to abolish the acceptance by the US of asylees, in stark contravention to US treaty obligations (and hence to domestic US law).

Americans won't "Sit Up" for Great Leader Trump, because They Don't Approve of Him Trump is a walking Titanic, and the only thing Americans will sit up for in his regard is the day he is handcuffed and frog-marched out of the White House to share a jail cell with his good buddy and former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort.

Shorter Pope Francis to Big Oil : You're Going to Hell if You don't Go Green Pope Francis on Saturday forthrightly reminded Big Oil that climate change is a moral issue. Unlike President Trump, the Vatican has a whole bevy of science advisers. What a comedown for Americans proud of our First Amendment and republican spirit, that the Vatican is now demonstrably more progressive than is the United States of America.

Hate Speech Advocate, who got Roseanne Barr Fired, Running Trump Mideast Policy The people who put Roseanne Barr up to these cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs ideas are now running the US government's foreign policy. Our foreign policy. In the Middle East, where there are thousands of US troops at risk, and where Bush started us on a path to pouring trillions of dollars down the toilet while denying ordinary Americans basic services and a living wage.

Is Roseanne Barr what America has Become? The whole tale is a sorry commentary, not on Barr but on where American culture and politics now stands. We went from a corporate elite nervously allowing some working class characters on mass media in the 1990s (just as long, you understand, as it gave no support to actual striking laborers) to transmogrifying it into an Islamophobic hate-fest in the teens of the 21st century.

Khamenei, in reply to Trump, gives Europe 6-point Ultimatum on Nuclear Deal Speaking frankly to Iran's European trading partners, the ayatollah laid down six requirements for Iran to remain in the JCPOA itself. These demands appear to be a response to those made by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, whom Khamenei has dismissed as a mere "spy."

Gun Epidemic: Pakistani Exchange Student killed by Santa Fe, TX, Shooter was no Safer in US than at Home Sabika was no more safe in the US than she was in Pakistan. She was more likely to be killed by terrorists in Pakistan than in the US, but the chances of that happening had been going down. As it happened, an alleged white terrorist did kill her in Santa Fe, Texas, one who posed with Nazi and other extremist paraphernalia, and followed Trump and gun nut accounts on Instagram.

Can Palestinians Be Killed by Israelis? Or Do They Only "Die"? 70% of the Palestinian families in Gaza are refugees from what is now southern Israel, trapped in the Gaza Strip and denuded of property, dignity and prospects. That is why Palestinians in Gaza are rallying at the fence and insisting that the world will not be allowed to forget two million stateless persons trapped and under blockade in an Israeli concentration camp.

Treason: Obama Iran Deal Officials targeted by Trump via Israeli Black Cube The Trump aides who targeted former Obama administration officials Ben Rhodes and Colin Kahl used the Israeli Black Cube agency, the same one deployed by Harvey Weinstein to keep his many victims of sexual harassment in line. It advertises itself as being able to provide the best former Mossad agents for the job (but if they are the best why are they former?)

If Giuliani's right Trump lied about Porn Star Hush Money, why believe him on Iran? A president who serially lies is a particular problem for foreign policy. Trump is on the verge of pulling out of the 2015 Iran Deal, in part on the grounds provided by Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in his stunt retailing old intelligence before 2003 which he attempted to portray as relevant to 2018. Trump appears to have bought the lie, what with being truth-challenged and all.

Pompeo, Trump's new Enforcer, Talks tough against Russia, Iran Trump brought Pompeo over to State as an organized crime boss brings a capo into a new neighborhood, as an enforcer and breaker of legs. Pompeo's charge is to break the legs of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which vastly curtailed Iran's nuclear enrichment program and capabilities.
