Libya accuses Arab League of double standards, condemns calling Turkey' support as intervention
[LIBYAALAHRAR.NET] The Libyan delegation at the Arab League

...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
’s support for the Government of National Accord (GNA) as a foreign intervention, expressing reservations about its resolutions and statements on the Libyan conflict.

Libya’s delegation expressed bewilderment at the double standards policy of the vaporous Arab League in dealing with foreign interventions in Arab countries, especially in Libya, where it named a legal ally to the GNA — Turkey — and excluded the real illegal foreign interventions.

The Libyan delegation also rejected the use of Arab League its platform to set political scores of some countries against others.

"We are against this description of the legitimate ally of the Libyan Government of National Accord; Turkey, as they both have signed MoUs in public." The delegation said.

It added that the Arab League isn’t paying attention, intentionally, to the illegitimate and illegal interventions, or even direct assaults, of some Arab and foreign countries in Libya, referring to Arclight airstrike

Bahrain will be fourth Arab country to recognize Israel
[NYPOST] The island kingdom of Bahrain on Friday became the fourth Arab country to normalize diplomatic relations with Israel — and the second as part of a Trump administration peace initiative.

Bahrain follows the United Arab Emirates’ decision last month to recognize Israel’s statehood.

"It’s just a very historic day, a very important day — and so interesting that it’s on 9/11," President Trump told news hounds in the Oval Office. "There’s no more powerful response to the hatred that spawned 9/11."

Trump said the agreement would further peace in the Middle East as he orders a drawdown of US troops, including in Iraq.

"When I took office, the Middle East was in a state of absolute chaos," Trump said.

"As more countries normalize relations with Israel, which will happen quite quickly, we believe, the region will become more and more stable, secure and prosperous," he said.

"In the meantime, we’re pulling most of our soldiers out. So we’re doing it the opposite way. They were doing it with nothing but fighting and blood all over the place. The sand was loaded up with blood. And now you’re going to see that a lot of that sand is going to be loaded up with peace."

Trump also told news hounds, "I can see a lot of good things happening with respect to the Paleostinians," and that he even feels something "very positive" can happen with Iran, against which Trump recently escalated sanctions to deter its nuclear program and interventions in regional civil wars.

#3  Just amazing. The Israelis and Arabs have been at war with each other since before I was born (I'm 71.) And now there is peace. In a sane world, Donald Trump would be the toast of the town.

Fifth Column
Man, 26, who was shot in the arm during Kenosha protests where two others were killed says he has lost 90% of his bicep, is in constant pain and gets death threats from supporters of gunman 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Gaige Grosskreutz, 26, was shot by Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, on August 25

  • Rittenhouse shot Grosskreutz through the arm in Kenosha, Wisconsin

  • On Friday CNN published an interview with Grosskreutz

  • He said he remained in constant pain and kept replaying the incident in his mind

  • He said he and his family receive death threats from Rittenhouse's supporters
It would take a heart of stone not to laugh.
Grosskreutz told CNN that he traveled to the protest because video of the Blake shooting disturbed him. He said he had been to many protests over police brutality in Milwaukee before.

He said he worked as a paramedic before going back to college in Wisconsin and he packed medical supplies in a small backpack in case he needed to treat people at the protests.

He also brought his pistol with him, saying he has a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

#4  Yes, losing a lover can cause a lot of pain.



I heard something about him having an issue with alcohol and firearms, brandishing while intoxicated or something? If that is true, would he not lose his CC license?

Different state, different rules, and some time has passed, but it was drilled that carrying while intoxicated is a license loser, or even just being in a bar is a no no.

#5  He also brought his pistol with him, saying he has a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

Does that license have the Murder 2 rider?

#6  According to Redstate: Finally, we have Gaige “Lefty” Grosskreutz. Grosskreutz has a pistol in his hand during the confrontation and was shot in the arm. Ironically, he was LARPing as a medic. He was a convicted felon (burglary) — some of the terror sympathizers are claiming his convictions for burglary was merely a misdemeanor, but that remains to be seen — and is not allowed to possess any weapon but appears to have been carrying a concealed semiautomatic pistol. He’s also a member of the anarchist group “People’s Revolution Movement.”

#7  P.S. if he has a permit where is it? He is supposed to have it on his person while carrying.

Trump nominated for second Nobel Peace Prize following Serbia-Kosovo deal
[NYPOST] President Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for a second time this week — this time for brokering a historic peace deal between Serbia and breakaway republic Kosovo.

In a Friday morning tweet, Magnus Jacobsson, a member of the Swedish Parliament, announced he was nominating the Trump administration and the two European nations for their "joint work for peace and economic development, through the cooperation agreement signed in the White House."

"Trade and communications are important building blocks for peace," Jacobsson wrote, sharing his letter to the Nobel Committee.

On Wednesday, the president was nominated for the prestigious award by a member of the Norwegian Parliament for helping broker a peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

#2  Puzzling. Everything I see says the Scandinavians utterly despise America and particularly hate Trump. We are everything wrong with the world. We bomb countries for profit, support apartheid regimes in the Middle East, etc. But now two Nobel nominations in a week? It doesn't add up.

#2  US Jewish vote should be a lock.

I have no problem with Trump trying to win as many battles as possible to win re-election. Frees him up to focus 100% on the coming election fraud in November.

#5  VE3110, SHOULD be a lock. As someone said somewhere, it will move the Jewish vote from 10% Republican to 11%
