It’s Friday, January 26th, 2018…and just when we were going to lead off the day begging\u00a0someone<\/em>…anyone<\/em><\/span>…to please<\/em><\/span>\u00a0educate The Donald about the importance of effective communication and the use of proper English…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, as TLJ noted, what The Donald was\u00a0trying<\/span> to say, in his wholly ineloquent way, was that the FBI<\/span> is attempting to lay the blame for the deleted texts on Samsung, but it still allowed FOX to run with this farcical headline<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

…along came Lurch.\u00a0 And, if this forward from George Lawlor contains even a scintilla of truth, it tops\u00a0anything<\/em><\/span> Progressives could even imagine<\/em><\/span> Trump doing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

John Kerry reportedly coaches<\/span> Palestinians not to ‘yield’ to Trump<\/span> in peace talks, spurring backlash<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h1>\n

“Former Secretary of State John Kerry reportedly tried to meddle in Middle East peace talks, allegedly telling a close associate of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas not to \u201cyield to President Trump\u2019s demands<\/span><\/em>.\u201d<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Israeli news outlet\u00a0Maari<\/span>v<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0reported on the apparent meeting between Kerry and Hussein Agha in London, where the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee also reportedly floated a possible encore bid in 2020.<\/p>\n

But in the conversation, Kerry reportedly told Agha to share a message with Abbas \u2013 urging him to \u201chold on and be strong\u201d during talks with the Trump administration and \u201cplay for time<\/span> … [and] not yield to President Trump\u2019s demands<\/span><\/em>.\u201d<\/span> Kerry, who served as former President Barack Obama\u2019s secretary of state during his second term, also reportedly told Agha that Trump would not be in office for long, suggesting he could be out in a year<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the report, Kerry used derogatory terms when referring to Trump, and offered to help the Palestinians create an alternative peace initiative<\/em><\/span>.<\/span> He reportedly asked Abbas not to attack the U.S.<\/span> or the Trump administration<\/span>, but rather focus attacks on the president himself<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span>…”<\/p>\n

When it comes to the conflict in the Middle East, Kerry is<\/em><\/span> and always has been<\/em><\/span>…<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…on the wrong side<\/em><\/span>.\u00a0 But then,…<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…he’s always<\/em><\/span> been.\u00a0 Though keep in mind, he learned from…<\/b><\/p>\n

…the best.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fortunately for us, so did Nikki Haley.\u00a0 And her<\/em><\/span> learning allowed her to expose the hypocrisy and duplicity of both the “Palestinians”…<\/strong><\/p>\n
