Zero Hedge: NSC Chief O'Brien Confirms Staffer Bloodbath After Vindmans Expelled
National Security Adviser told a room full of Atlantic Council attendees on Tuesday that significant cuts were under way at the leak-prone White House National Security Council, confirming a Monday report in the Washington Examiner that up to 70 positions would be cut.
While O'Brien pitched it as a return to "a manageable size," he didn't mention what the Examiner reported - namely, that most of the cuts would be Obama-era holdovers such as anti-Trump impeachment witness Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, 44, and his twin brother Yevgeny, who were fired from the NSC last week and escorted out of the White House by security.

WNU Editor: National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien does have a point that American foreign policy is not run (and should not be run) by Lieutenant Colonels .... ‘We are not a banana republic’: National security adviser defends Vindman dismissals (Politico). So this begs an answer .... they were there for three years, so who was running foreign policy, at least in regards to Ukraine.

The inmates we running the asylum since Trump's political enemies announced their intention to impeach the day after election day. Trump had to thread the needle carefully.
They have been investigating Trump for 4 years. Either the CIA is incompetent and we would be better off run from Moscow or Brennan and others belong in Pelican Bay or a psychiatric hospital in group therapy under heavy sedation.

Media’s Horribly Dishonest Antarctica Propaganda
" Esperanza is most sensitive to El Nino warming. It most sensitive to the southward flow of warm moist subtropical winds. And Esperanza’s topography always amplifies temperatures when winds from the northwest cause foehn wind events. What happened at Esperanza has nothing to do with Antarctica’s overall climate trends, never mind any global warming trend."
Some of us want a viable border wall. We are not like Hollywierd or other wierdos that pay Mexicans subhuman wages to live a lifestyle better than they worked for. Like people who are lazy living condos and HOAs and pay slave wages.
Border crossings are down 8 months in a row.

The Clintonistas on Meuller's team who went on to prosecute Roger Stone deserve to be called out. What they did is illegal.
