Anwar Al-MurphyAs you know, Donald Trump issued a temporary suspension of immigration and travel for the seven countries that obama compiled and was voted into law by democrats. Although it is clearly spelled out as temporary suspension and it is clearly not a religious ban (the 400 million Muslims in Indonesia, Malaysia and Pakistan are excluded for some reason) democrats persist spreading fake news.
Donald Trump’s Muslim Ban Makes Us All Less American
screams Rolling Stone
Trump’s Reckless Muslim Ban Makes Americans Less Safe
whines the Center for American Bullshit Progress
Donald Trump’s long-awaited Muslim ban became a reality on Friday
the stupidest man in Congress blathered.
Trump’s travel/immigration really doesn’t bother many, outside of liberals, CAIR and ISIS supporters. Shireen Qudosi argues that many Muslims tend to support the suspension:
Being swept aside in the tide of policy or directly attacked by extremists themselves is a widespread worry that many other Muslims have (but don’t often publicly admit). Many American Muslims realize they’re on a fast-track to their own deportation process if the country doesn’t start taking radical Islam seriously.
Take Fatima, for example, a North American-Muslim woman, who welcomes a crackdown on domestic terrorism.
In a message exchange with me, Fatima confides, “Between extreme vetting and increased surveillance of mosques and monitoring the funding of mosques and organizations like CAIR, [these efforts] will help curb extremists and extremist ideas.”
And she poignantly adds, “This administration should be able to fight Islamic extremism without vilifying all Muslims.”
David Ignatius stated that the Middle East cares not as much about the suspension as it does Iran’s hegemony:
Washington Post columnist David Ignatius told the MSNBC “Morning Joe” crew Monday that Donald Trump’s anti-Iranian outlook “resonates much more” with Middle Eastern countries than questions his proposed Muslim travel ban might raise.
“The crucial thing for the Saudis, for King Salman, is being tough with Iran,” Ignatius said of Trump’s weekend conversation with the Saudi King. “And the Saudis see the Syria war as an Iranian proxy war to take over a Sunni country.”
“They see in Donald Trump somebody who is prepared to stand up to Iran and is prepared to do safe zones,” he added. “Which Hillary Clinton talked about but President Obama never wanted to do.”
Clearly, the issue us being whipped into a frenzy based on a false premise for the sake of partisan politics. And that’s the thing.
It’s not Trump making us less safe. democrats are making us less safe by lying about Trump’s actions and in so doing they are handing the ammunition to ISIS, who lap up the words of democrats and put them to use.
“When U.S. President Donald Trump says ‘We don’t want them here’ and bans the Muslim immigrants from Muslim countries, there is one thing that comes to our mind,” said another posting, beneath a banner of al-Awlaki and his quote.
But that’s not what the EO said or did. Instead of acknowledging what really was done, democrats have willingly sided with ISIS. ISIS eats up the claim of a “Muslim ban” and democrats keep feeding them. They don’t like Trump. I get that, but empowering ISIS because you don’t like Trump? That’s evil.
democrats and their lies – that’s what’s making us less safe.
Exit question: Ever notice- based on democrats’ claims- how hair-trigger easy it is to radicalize Muslims? If it is truly that easy, why does the left so badly want them here?

So, am I now “spam?”
My comments are being prevented.
This was prevented on a different thread:
Greg:
It was a msm headline, so you swallowed it whole!
Turns out you are a purveyor of Fake News.
Here’s the truth:
APPARENTLY so many posters are commenting on Greg’s idiocy.
Mine is being called “spam!”
Democrats don’t care what damage they do in the process of trying to regain power. All they EVER care about is having a usable excuse for failure and someone to blame. People being killed is good politics for liberals.
The demacrats are a party of traitors,scoundrels and fiends anyone who gives aid to the trerorists should be sent to prison for the rest of their lives
The secret plan is that we make a plan. Here’s the directive—revealed at the risk of telegraphing our intentions to the enemy:
Presidential Memorandum Plan to Defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
Note to Donald Trump: There already is a plan, involving an international coalition that has been at war with ISIS for over 2 years now. Refer to Operation Inherent Resolve.
Here’s some recent news: Counter-ISIL Strikes Continue in Syria, Iraq
The previous admin was indecisive and lack the ability to command the military because they loathed the military….
Trump’s presidential memorandum regarding ISIS is a joke. It reveals that he had no secret alternate approach to ISIS, and still doesn’t. He’s ordering the people who look to him for orders to tell him what he should order them to do.
From The Hill, yesterday: To defeat ISIS, Trump needs more than the Pentagon can deliver
@Greg: Yes Greg. That plan is really working well. Go back to bed.
@Randy, #8:
ISIS is being steadily worn down, and U.S. forces haven’t been drawn into another massive, interminable ground war that could cost another trillion dollars, thousands of American lives, and leave another unstable situation when its over. If we play the extremists’ game on their ground, we lose. To paraphrase the moral of a old movie, the only way to win that particular game is not to play it.
Yes, it has been working well, comparatively speaking. There is no perfect solution—there are only adequate ones, and others that are appallingly bad. A good president knows the difference.
@Greg: They just moved. They made a mistake occupying land. Now they are undercover except for the drones they recruited to hold the ground. Stick to board games. You are not very good at world strategy.
Whereas, Trump’s plan is masterful?
He has no effing plan for defeating ISIS, and never did. His “plan” is for someone to make and present him with a plan. Read the memo.
There’s no Obamacare replacement plan, either. Seven years of lip flapping and promises, but republicans have nothing.
There’s no plan to remove 12 million undocumented aliens, and never was.
There’s no plan to deal with Iran. There’s an attitude.
There’s no plan to deal with deficits or debt. Since he plans to greatly expand our military while simultaneously cutting taxes, deficits will get larger and the debt will become greater.
There’s obviously no plan to “drain the swamp.” There never was such an intention. Just look at who’s filling up his cabinet—bigger alligators.
You’ve been had. You bought a bill of goods. Now they need a VERY BIG DISTRACTION from the fact that they’re not going to be able to deliver—and that spells TROUBLE.
Go play in the street greg….
Chelsea Clinton ‘Outraged’ Republicans See ISIS as Greater Threat Than White Terrorists
Democrats Think Muslims Worse Off Here Than Christians Are In Muslim World
@Greg:
You mean like how Roosevelt looked to Ike? Say it isn’t so. Whoda thunk it? A civilian president seeking military advise from military people. The horrors of it all..
And you’re still an idiot.
Trump Releases List Of 78 Terrorist Attacks The Media Won’t Tell You About
This list of course does not include Fort Hood or the Boston Marathon Bombings
@Ditto: Conway makes up “Bowling Green massacre”. Press Sec makes up “Atlanta terrorist attack.”
Trump problem is he originally called for Muslim Ban then got cute when he asked Rudy G. to come up with a CHANGE to appease the courts.–DT got a little too cute.
@Ditto, #16:
Trump’s claim is a load of b.s. Nearly all of the attacks on the White House list have been reported by the media—many extensively. That the Orlando nigh club attack is cited is totally ludicrous. USA Today has gone down the list item by item. They found more than 200 stories covering the various attacks in their own publication alone.
It would be honest to say that the larger scale events have gotten far more attention than those that have resulted in few or no injuries or fatalities. That’s to be expected. The media likes headline stories, because that’s what their audiences like.
It would also be honest to say that the media gave Donald Trump far more attention than he ever deserved, and neglected to challenge his bullshit almost entirely. The amount of time they devoted to non-critical coverage of Trump was so enormous that it crowded out coverage of many other important national and international events. I fault them for prioritizing audience ratings over the true importance of events, at the expense of journalistic responsibility. Were it not for that failure, Trump never would have been elected.
Microsoft doesn’t pay people any more or less based on their country of origin.
Microsoft relies on H-1B employees because there’s a shortage of qualified U.S. workers having the technical skill sets that they require. They can’t get enough qualified workers here, just as the nation can’t get enough American-born qualified doctors to meet the nation’s needs. Neither shortage has to do with low wages.
You might want to keep those facts in mind as you prepare to cut public education funding.
Public education isn’t the failure. Parents who haven’t instilled an understanding of the value of education into their children are the failure. You can send kids off to school who place no value on the opportunity and expect teachers to fill their unreceptive little heads up with useful skills and knowledge.
