Yeah, being even remotely critical of Israel gets you branded an anti-Semite in the US.

Ahem. She deliberately used an old anti-semitic canard of Jews / money / power David. Don't be so naive to assume you can't be of the left and be both anti-semitic and anti-zionist. Usually that's for the right but these days especially amongst Muslim communities (left and right) its a good fit. By her own hand David she stands condemned. Of course after the Dmocrats called her out she apologised (crocdile tears).

Radical Muslim using the left to push their own agenda of anti Semitism and Islamic supremacy. Imagine my shock.

Trump declares a national emergency. Interesting times and the "the 25th amendment" is the #1 search at the moment.
Ann Coulter, "No, the goal of a national emergency is for Trump to scam the stupidest people in his base for 2 more years".
I would suggest the national emergency is Trump being President but hey that's me. Waiting for troops to invade some small country for a poll boost.

Bolton's memo comes to mind "5000 troops to Columbia" or something like that on a notepad.

It's hard to fathom, isn't it. A politician, doing everything in his power, to uphold his elections promises. Who'd have thought?

I could expand my foreign affairs to include Hawaii in this case
