Russkies have her emails. U.S. president blackmail bait?

It’s on.

Serves on a subcommittee that says Dept. of Homeland Security should not use “sharia” and “jihad” and other Muslim terms when discussing terrorism.

Aiming not to offend, apparently. And to keep us in the dark.

Not kidding.

Yes, I know that Trump is an a**hole, Trump is a clown, Trump is a motormouth buffoon. You don’t have to convince me of that.

But he’s also the only person saying anything about putting the brakes on Islamic extremism, and in light of what happened last night in Orlando, suddenly that is the only issue that really matters when it comes to the health, well-being and safety of the queer community.

Not to mention the un-queer.

The only one. Yes.

Not only radical Islam, he specifies, but it’s Islam itself vs. gays.

Slams “social justice warriors” of “the progressive left” as gays’ “worst enemy.”

America is “the greatest country in the world.”

“Western, liberal democratic capitalism” is the best.l

“You are not safe.”

First Amendment underpinned by Second. “Shoot back.”

“Someone comes after you with an assault weapon, have a gun in your pocket.”

Like the fabled Saxon king, who told the waves to recede,

In the spring of 2013 Barack Obama delivered the defining speech of his presidency on the subject of terrorism. Its premise was wrong, as was its thesis, as were its predictions and recommendations. We are now paying the price for this cascade of folly.

“Today, Osama bin Laden is dead, and so are most of his top lieutenants,” the president boasted at the National Defense University, in Washington, D.C. “There have been no large-scale attacks on the United States, and our homeland is more secure.” The “future of terrorism,” he explained, consisted of “less capable” al Qaeda affiliates, “localized threats” against Westerners in faraway places such as Algeria, and homegrown killers like the Boston Marathon bombers.

All of this suggested that it was time to call it quits on what Mr. Obama derided as “a boundless ‘global war on terror.’ ” That meant sharply curtailing drone strikes, completing the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, and closing Guantanamo prison. It meant renewing efforts “to promote peace between Israelis and Palestinians” and seeking “transitions to democracy” in Libya and Egypt. And it meant working with Congress to repeal the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against al Qaeda.

“This war, like all wars, must end,” he said. “That’s what history advises. That’s what our democracy demands.”

King Canute of legend stood on an English shoreline and ordered the tide to recede. President Canute stood before a Beltway audience and ordered the war to end. Neither tide nor war obeyed.

The man’s a fool for all that.

. . . also referred to as his being “cool.” Not always but in certain situations, which Trump neatly identifies:

Mr. Trump remained defiant. “President Obama claims to know our enemy, and yet he continues to prioritize our enemy over our allies, and for that matter, the American people,” Mr. Trump said in an emailed statement on Tuesday. “When I am president, it will always be America first.”

Later Tuesday at a rally in Greensboro N.C., Mr. Trump said, “He was more angry at me than he was at the shooter…That’s the kind of anger he should have for the shooter.”

This is the problem. BO is cool in the wrong places. Drives you nuts.

. . . especially when it bespeaks “willful ignorance.”

Of GKC’s transition to another life.

. . . where Alderman Napolitano has called a rally.
