    Re: POTUS 45.21 STAND for our great National Anthem

    From last week: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-n...-idUSKBN1CH2T0

    NIAMEY/DAKAR (Reuters) - Chad has withdrawn hundreds of troops from neighboring Niger, where they were helping local forces fight Boko Haram Islamist militants, humanitarian sources and officials said.

    The pull-out over the past two weeks could weaken a region-wide struggle against the militants who have killed tens of thousands of people, forced many more to flee and triggered a humanitarian crisis.

    There was no immediate explanation or comment from defense officials in Chad.

    But the move came a month after the vast central African country complained about an unexpected U.S. travel ban imposed on its nationals. Chad warned at the time the order could affect its security commitments - which include its involvement in the U.S.-backed fight against Boko Haram.

    Residents said the withdrawal had already had an impact on Niger’s Diffa region, which has seen a string of attacks by Boko Haram militants crossing over from their base in neighboring Nigeria.
    Chad gets added to travel ban (largely because they did not have the paper needed to provide passport information and needed some more time). That ends up affecting their ability to participate in security commitments, including fighting Boko Haram in Niger. The removal of anti-militant forces upsets the balance and emboldens militants, right around the time four servicemen get killed.

    International relations is not something where you try to look bigger than the other guy to assuage your own ego. It is a complicated game of give and take where one minor act can ripple though a lot of other places.

                While Flag spews bullsh-t, real charges filed for real actions.

                Three men who came out to support white nationalist Richard Spencer’s Thursday speech at the University of Florida were arrested on charges of attempted murder after one of them allegedly fired at protesters, according to arrest reports from the Gainesville Police Department.

                Texas residents Colton Fears, William Fears and Tyler Tenbrink all were charged with attempted homicide and were being held in the Alachua County jail. Tenbrink received an additional second-degree felony charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

                After departing Spencer’s event Thursday, where they had spoken to local press about their willingness to “push back” on those who oppose their message, the three men pulled their car up to a bus stop where a small group of protesters was waiting, according to the arrest reports. The report states they began shouting “Hail Hitler” and yelling at the seated protesters, one of whom hit the vehicle’s rear window with a baton.

                The car sped ahead a few feet and came to an abrupt stop, at which point Tenbrink emerged with a handgun, according to the report. William and Colton Fears allegedly yelled, “I’m going to ****ing kill you” and “shoot them.”

                Tenbrink proceeded to do so, firing one shot at the victim that missed and hit a building in the background, according to the report. The men were apprehended by the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office shortly after fleeing the scene. The report states Tenbrink admitted that he had fired the gun.
                Oh heck, let's spend a little more time with Flaggy's heroes:

                The Fears brothers were being held on $1 million bond, while Tenbrink was being held on $3 million bond.

                At least two of the men have ties to extremist groups, according to Gainesville police. Tenbrink and William Fears also have attended previous white nationalist events, including the chaotic rally in Charlottesville, Virginia where counter-protester Heather Heyer was killed and many others were injured when white nationalist James Fields plowed his car into them.

                Earlier Thursday, William Fears, who brawled with counter-protesters at Charlottesville, suggested to the Gainesville Sun that Fields’ actions were justified.

                “It’s always been socially acceptable to punch a Nazi, to attack people if they have right-wing political leanings,” Fears told the newspaper. “Us coming in and saying we’re taking over your town, we’re starting to push back, we’re starting to want to intimidate back. We want to show our teeth a little bit because, you know, we’re not to be taken lightly. We don’t want violence; we don’t want harm. But at the end of the day, we’re not opposed to defending ourselves.”

                Fears was arrested in 2009 for abducting an 18-year-old University of Texas student at knifepoint and wounding her repeatedly. He was charged with aggravated kidnapping and possession of a controlled substance.

                He told the Washington Post earlier this year that the first white nationalist event he attended was a speech Spencer held last December at Texas A&M University, where he said he met people who looked and thought the same way he did. His Twitter account is full of posts disparaging Jews, Muslims, and black people.

                    Yep. That's why every time they complain about one of the right wing heroes getting shouted down at a college they ultimately have zero credibility. Zero.

                      Where has *this* Paul Ryan been hiding? If he was always like this, I could be swayed to like the guy.

                      The annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner gives politicians a chance to crack jokes about themselves, their opponents, the media and the political system. Ryan was the keynote speaker and took several lighthearted jabs at President Trump.

                      "Enough with the applause, alright? You sound like the cabinet when Donald Trump walks in the room," Ryan said to open his remarks. "Just might as well get off to it, right?"
                      "Everyone's going to report this thing differently. Breitbart's going to lead with 'Ryan slams the president amongst liberal elites.' The New York Times is going to report, 'Ryan defends the president in a state Hillary won.' And the president will tweet, '300,000 at Al Smith dinner cheer mention of my name.'"

                      On Clinton's campaign: "Like you've heard, I'm from Wisconsin. Wisconsin is a fantastic place to visit in the fall. Looking back, someone probably should have told Hillary Clinton that."

                      "Steve Bannon said I was born in a petri dish at the Heritage Foundation. This is amazing, no one knew Steve believed in science."

                      On the investigation into Russian-bought social media ads: "When people ask me if I believe everything I see on Facebook, I answer, 'Nyet.'"
                      “Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

                              And how are they my heroes, or is this just more party-line slander? Firing into a crowd like you describe is absolutely stupid. One man speaks his peace, the others speak theirs, and there's no reason to degrade into violent actions. From ANY side. I'll assume it happened given there were arrests, and we'll know for sure upon completion of arraignment and, if necessary, trial. Obviously there isn't much being said about the other side and whether they became violent either; I wouldn't expect the poster or any of his sources to actually cover that. Alls I know is that events are becoming more and more violent, and unless things de-escalate, war will be upon us soon.

                                Paul Ryan's been an anti-Trump globalist this whole time. You've been too busy with your coloring books and play-doh to actually notice.
