1. ‘Western media ‘whooping for joy’ following US missile strike on Syria’

   …”you also have to factor in the massive amount of pressure that all of this hysteria about Trump’s supposed ties to Russia had on this situation.

   A symbolic strike on a Syrian airbase can relieve the pressure and we saw a chorus of “idiot” liberals – I would call them “Id-libs” – celebrating the lack of congressional oversight on the Trump administration’s march to war in Syria; a celebration by Trump’s opponents of this potentially internationally illegal attack. From a political domestic standpoint, Trump has scored a kind of victory with his opponents.”

   “No matter the years of intervention by the Obama administration, and calls for airstrikes by Hillary Clinton, America’s leftist ‘community organizers’ are out en masse nationwide today protesting President Trump’s actions in Syria – presumably they find Assad’s decision to drop chemical weapons on his people doubtful too…?

3. ‘Michael Savage Turns on Trump, Says Syrian Gas Attack Was False Flag Operation’

   …”Savage also questioned the timing of Jared Kushner’s trip to Iraq, coupled with Bannon’s timely demotion from the NSC — just ahead of the attacks as being highly suspicious.

   “This whole thing stinks to high heaven,’ said Savage. Furthering his criticism of the President, Savage proclaimed: “It looks like Hillary, deep state won, and Trump is doing her bidding.”

4. The money given to Edgecumbe after the earthquake in 87′ should have been spent on Edgecumbe’s infrastructure – not Whakatane’s.
   It was a flood waiting to happen…

   1. True that KD.

      Whakatanae has gotten all the funding since Nactional took over, as Anne Tolley has spent big there on business parks and roading through the region to get elected every term, while surrounding towns were starved of funds, and as MP for gisborne also she relocated to Whakatakae after Natz deliberately destroyed the rail infrastructure after robbing the regional Kiwirail maintanence funding for Auckland rail.

      Pork barrel politics is well alive under Nactional.
