In her new book, former UN Ambassador, Nikki Haley tells us that PDJT’s former Chief of Staff John Kelly and SecState Rex Tillerson
recruited her to help frustrate the president’s agenda.
Hmm, Haley worked for
Tillerson so how much help could she have been if the boss was already in on
the scam. Isn’t that a bit like the head
coach enlisting the help of the team’s trainer to help sabotage the owner’s plan
to win a Super Bowl?
It tells me that Tillerson was a POS afraid of
getting caught and wanted to enlist a fall guy to cover for his cowardly BS.
The case of Chief of Staff and former Marine Corps
General John Kelly is a bit more perplexing.
He claims all he did was institute a series of staffing procedures to
ensure that the president got all sides of an issue. Hmm, so why would anyone need the help of the
UN Ambassador to accomplish that purpose? That makes no sense. “Hello Nikki, John. I’m thinking about imposing some new staffing
procedures over here at the White House and need to make sure you’re on board. I’m thinking you should use a green pen when
marking up any correspondence.
Whattayouthink?” “What? You’re kidding right? I’m busy.
Do your job – and I don’t much care how you do it - and leave me alone to
do mine.”
So why didn’t Haley rat out Kelly and Tillerson to
PDJT? Haven’t we all been privy to embarrassing
info that we kept under our hats rather than blowing up an organization? Having worked in several large organizations,
USCENTCOM and the Pentagon, I knew of all sorts of palace intrigue. This guy didn’t like that guy. The people in the G-3 didn’t get along with
the guys in the G-5. Ranking officers
said stupid stuff in my presence that would have gotten them fired had I ratted
them out.
I never did.
First off, had I ratted the guy out and he denied it, I’d probably end up
losing out. Oh he just misunderstood my point.
Remember Rod Rosenstein’s offer to wear a wire into the Oval Office? Rosenstein swears he was joking. Others disagree.
Next, the officer in question may have been just
kidding or venting his frustration. As
unlikely as it sounds, I might have been wrong.
Last, I never saw anyone openly sabotage the organization. So what would be the point? Haley may have
made the same calculation under the same circumstances.
In the end Tillerson got canned. Kelly quit.
Haley got out with dignity and accolades from PDJT. Haley clearly won out. The Israeli embassy got moved. The Palestinians
got hammered. The Ukraine received lethal
aid. Etc. etc. etc. I can’t point to one case where Kelly and/or
Tillerson won out on an important policy issue.
Haley – Pence 2024.
She clearly should lead the ticket and would there be a VP with more
experience?
Today’s JG rant
Brian,
Wow you’re piece on Jim Banks’ tweet was better than
CNN’s Brian Stelter spell checking the president’s tweets. You are all over this one. Excellent work and, I might say, a judicious
use of your time and JG assets to run down this important story. Definitely
front page stuff.
Now do Chris Francois’ fantastical claims that
all Hoosiers are racists and that she has been assaulted and suffered property
damage at the hands of racist Hoosiers per JG editorial “Hoosier inhospitality”
on Sep 5, 2019. Police reports? Arrests?
Witnesses? Hearings? Punishments?
Anything to support these accusations?
Bueller? Class? Brian?
Anyone? Francisco? Anyone?
My guess is that Chris Francois is a Jussie Smollett type race-baiting
fraud. Change my mind.
Oh, with regard to the real America. I’m happy to pit Middle America as the real
America when compared to the lying thieving swells of all stripes in Caligula,
D.C.
Real America believes that a baby born alive after a botched
abortion is just that - a baby - deserving of the protections of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness afforded all Americans rather than being regarded
as a thing to be “made comfortable” before crushing its skull. Some would call that infanticide.
Real America doesn’t heckle speakers at Veteran’s Day ceremonies
like classless boobs in NYC.
I could go on forever, but you get the point. Cheers.

Alabama tweet nets feedback for Banks
Said
cheer for Trump was 'in real America'
BRIAN FRANCISCO | The
Journal Gazette
U.S. Rep. Jim Banks has been both commended and disparaged on
Twitter for writing that a stadium crowd cheering President Donald Trump
at a University of Alabama football game was “in real America.”
Banks' tweet Saturday linked to a nearly minute-long video of
people applauding a video-screen image of Trump, who attended that day's game
in Tuscaloosa between Alabama and Louisiana State University.
“Incredible reception for our President @realDonaldTrump in
real America,” wrote Banks, R-3rd.
In the 24 hours after it was posted, the tweet by the
northeastern Indiana congressman generated more than 700 “likes”
and nearly 200 retweets, the social media equivalent of an
endorsement for Banks and Trump.
But most of the roughly 100 people who replied online to
Banks' message criticized him for suggesting that only communities that support
Trump are “real America.” Here is a sampling:
“Please, tell me exactly which part of America isn't 'real
America,'” tweeted Kyle Lucas of Chicago.
“What part of the country is not real, Congressman?” tweeted
Matt Jennings of Middlebury, Vermont.
“Do I live in real America or fake America?” tweeted
@RINOwithHorns of Fort Wayne.
“Jim Banks is implying that Washington D.C. and New York City
are not 'America.' These are the two cities where thousands of Americans
died on September 11, 2001,” tweeted Craig Skinner of Fort Wayne.
Trump was booed by spectators at recent sports events he attended in those
cities, including a World Series game in Washington.
“Meanwhile I'm just here in fake California pretending to be an
American citizen,” tweeted @JaneAusten1813.
Some people contended in their tweets that Banks was trying
to endear himself to Trump.
The Journal Gazette asked Banks' spokesman to elaborate
Sunday on the tweet.
“The inside-the-beltway establishment, sometimes referred to as
the 'Swamp,' hate Donald Trump because he is an outsider who exposes them and
disrupts their gravy train. That's why they booed him in DC at the World
Series,” Mitchell Hailstone, Banks' communications director, said in an email.
“Outside the DC bubble, sometimes referred to as 'real America,'
people appreciate that Donald Trump fights for them against the insiders.
That's what we saw during the Alabama football game,” Hailstone said.
Top-ranked LSU defeated second-ranked Alabama by a score of
46-41. When LSU led 33-13, John Riley of Fishers replied to Banks' tweet
by writing, “The gods were angered.”
