 I am in such a state of awe over this week that I’m left with only one question – where’s this guy’s wheelbarrow?

From his “Drive Them Out!” speech in Riyadh on Sunday (5/21) to the leaders of every Moslem country on the planet, to his being the first sitting US President in history to pray at the Western Wall and have Israel fall in love with him (5/22-23), to his scolding yesterday in Brussels (5/25) the leader of every NATO country right to their faces for expecting America to pay for their defense  – our president has a pair big enough for a wheelbarrow.

The contrast between this mensch and his schmuck predecessor could not be more stark.  We have at last a real man and a real American with no apologies for being either as President of the United States.  His predecessor was the opposite of both.

The London Daily Mail had fun last night reporting on how Trump “lectured the leaders of NATO countries like children” over their being “deadbeats” in paying for their defense, and holding them responsible for terrorist horrors like Manchester by allowing unchecked hordes of Moslems to “pour into your countries.”

In response, the Prime Minister of Luxembourg, Xavier Bettel, snickered to France’s Macron standing next to him.  Luxembourg is the lowest of the low in NATO defense spending at 0.44% of GDP:

NATO country defense spending as % of GDP

NATO country defense spending as % of GDP

Bettel, by the way, is the ultimate Euroweenie.  Last night (5/24), Belgium’s Queen Mathilde hosted the wives of the NATO leaders at the Royal Castle of Laeken.  Here’s a photo – the Queen is to Melania’s left, the Islamic-covered lady to her right is Erdogan’s wife.  But who’s the guy, what’s he doing there?

wives-of-the-nato-leaders
He’s the Prime Minister of Luxembourg Xavier Bettel’s wife.  They were “married” in 2015.

Another by-the-way.  France’s Macron is the ultimate metrosexual Momma’s Boy.  He married his mother – or rather a substitute mother old enough to be his mommy.  That’s the blonde lady at the left end in the minidress trying to look young.  She’s 64 – Macron is 39.

Nonetheless, while Trump was making America great again to the world’s leaders, the “breakout star” of the presidential excursion was Melania.  This is the week that the world fell in love with Melania Trump.

The Arab press did, hailing Melania as “classy and conservative.”  Her visit to a children’s hospital in Rome, where she prayed for a little boy to get a heart transplant donor, was headlined “It’s a miracle!” after a donor was found just hours later.

She charmed the Belgians as she did the Italians, visiting a children’s hospital in Brussels, speaking French to the kids as she spoke Italian to those in Rome (she’s fluent in five languages).  Our radiant First Lady stunned the fashion world. She took Sicily by storm this morning (5/26) with her Flower Power fashion.

And this evening at the La Scala concert for the G-7, she was simply “Dazzling!”

Yet it was in Israel that she touched people’s hearts the most.  She bonded with Sara Netanyahu, as Donald did with Bibi.  But it was this moment that did it for Israelis.  Israeli President Reuven Rivlin’s wife is First Lady Nechama Rivlin, who at 72 must carry an oxygen concentrator for her respiratory illness.

Thus it brought tears to Israeli eyes to see the First Lady of America going beyond diplomatic protocol to hold their frail First Lady’s hand in comfort and kindness.

America’s First Lady, Melania Trump, is the classiest, most elegant, and most beautiful woman in the world.  This is the week the world understands.  Obviously, Melania is the HFR Hero of the Week.

Of course, the Fake News Media hates all of this and did its best to invent negative stories.  They’re not worth mentioning.

What’s really fun this morning is to see the FNM drowning in shock and woe over Pub Greg Gianforte obliterating Dem Rob Quist 50.2% to 44.1% in Montana’s special election yesterday – even though just the day before (5/24) Gianforte was charged with assault for wailing on an obnoxious leftie reporter.

Looks like a lot of Montanans thought that was cool.

 In fact, this week could be seeing the unraveling of the entire Fake News agenda.  As their Russia-Trump Collusion Myth evaporates with no evidence whatever to support it, real Obama and Clinton crimes are now appearing.

On Tuesday (5/23), Newt Gingrich on Fox called for Special Prosecutor Mueller to investigate the Clinton collusion with Russia, for which there is abundant evidence – and condemned Republicans in Congress for not having the spine to call for it.

My friend ace investigative journalist Sara Carter revealed yesterday (5/25): Obama intel agency secretly conducted illegal searches on Americans for years.

Zero Hedge followed Sara’s reporting with further details:  FISA Court Finds “Serious Fourth Amendment Issue” In Obama’s “Widespread” Illegal Searches Of American Citizens.

Clearly, as Andy McCarthy in National Review argues today, this calls for Attorney General Sessions to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate Obama’s violations of the law.

In addition to all this, in the last few days we’ve finally seen the Seth Rich murder scandal gain traction.

The FNM and the Dems have bet their farm on the Russia-Trump Collusion Myth.  It  claims that the source of the Wikileaks release of tens of thousands of DNC emails was Russian hackers working for Trump to rig the election for Hillary.  After months of desperate investigation, no evidence whatever has emerged for this.

The Wikileaks release of their DNC database began on July 22, 2016.  On July 10, a 27 year-old data analyst who worked at the DNC headquarters in Washington, had access to DNC main computers, and was a passionate supporter of Bernie Sanders, was walking to his home in DC when he was shot in the back by still-unknown assailants.  His name was Seth Rich.

Police found him minutes later, alive and breathing.  He had two gunshots in the back.  He had not been robbed, as his wallet, money in his pocket, and cell phone were still on him.  The police officers had body cams recording, but somehow the DC police dept. says they have been “lost.”  He was taken to the Washington Hospital Center where he died.

The police made little or no effort to investigate his murder.  They haven’t to this day.

On August 9, 2016, Wilileaks’ founder Julian Assange was interviewed on Dutch television in English.  He was asked about his sources for the DNC emails released less than three weeks earlier.  Here’s the video clip and the relevant quote:

Assange: Whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often very significant risks. As a 27 year-old, works for the DNC, was shot in the back, murdered just a few weeks ago for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington.

Reporter: That was just a robbery, I believe. Wasn’t it?

Assange: No. There’s no finding. So… I’m suggesting that our sources take risks.

That very day, Wikileaks made this announcement:

wikileaks-tweet-080916Persuasive evidence that Seth Rich, bitter about the Clintons and the DNC rigging primaries for Sanders to lose, was the source?  But this was ignored, by the media, the DC police, and the Comey FBI.  And by Seth Rich’s family.  Two days after Assange’s revelation, on August 11, 2016, Wikileaks implied that Rich’s family had been bought off or strongarmed into silence:

wikileaks-tweet-081116Just like the Dems bought the silence of the Kopechne family after Teddy Kennedy killed their daughter Mary Jo.

On Sunday (5/21), Newt Gingrich revived this on Fox, saying Seth Rich was assassinated:

Then on Tuesday (5/23), the lefty suits running Fox into the ground forced Sean Hannity to “drop the Seth Rich conspiracy theory” out of, Sean said, “respect for the family.”  Yeah, right.

Since then, the FNM is in 24/7 screaming panic to denounce the “discredited” “debunked” “invalidated” “proven false” “conspiracy theory” that Seth Rich was Wikileaks’ source for the DNC emails – as it completely blows up their bet-the-farm lie that Trump and the Russians did it.

Meanwhile, over at 4chan, there was this post on May 17 by one of the doctors who treated Seth Rich at the hospital:

doctor-comment-on-seth-rich

Notes added:

* “post-surgery crit” is post-surgery critical care, referring to the patient’s  hematocrit level, i.e., the percentage of red blood cells circulating in the blood; “pressor” means “tending to increase blood pressure”; “LEOs” is law enforcement officers; “not to round” means not to make bedside visits.

* “No code was called” means no emergency alert was sounded for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation team; “/pol/” refers to “politically incorrect” posts on 4chan.

* “LR” is Lactated Ringers (solution), a common fluid replacement for patients who have lost blood or other body fluids; “PRBC” is packed red blood cells; “FFP” is fresh frozen plasma.
The doctor concluded:

“It always stuck in my head as something super bizarre but it was a long time before I even realized it was Seth Rich. When he arrived he was assigned by our system a trauma number, not a name as his patient ID. I only knew him at that time as Tra### (no way that I remember the actual number). When it came to light who he was a while later I was floored. And terrified.”

There’s been no attempt by the media or the police or the FBI to interview this doctor, nor any attempt to verify his story at the hospital.

What has shocked so many is Sean Hannity taking a powder.  Keep an eye on this, folks – one way or another, the story is going to explode.

We’re getting too long now, so we have to be brief.  Every libtard, DemFascist, Fake News pundit, and Capitol Hill RINO is in a total frenzy of fear and rage over the Monday (5/22) release of Trump’s fabulous FY2018 budget that cuts $1.7 trillion in entitlements.

Fox Business celebrated with headlining: Trump budget saves taxpayer money by weeding out welfare freeloaders.  Here are 66 programs eliminated.  “66 reasons to love Donald Trump,” patriot wags are saying.

DemFascists and their RINO Useful Idiots are screaming “Children will starve and die!” because of the huge cuts in food stamps.  What I would urge the White House to make clear is that food stamp cuts will drastically lower food prices.

Every time I come to Europe, I’m dumbfounded by how much less it costs to go grocery shopping.  Food is so amazingly expensive in the US because of food stamp subsidies.  It’s the same with the cost of college or medical care.

Anything that’s subsidized automatically becomes far more expensive than before.  Because it’s so cheap or free for those on welfare, taxpayers have to pay extra.

The White House understands this because they call it President Trump’s Taxpayer First Budget.  A lot of info there on the White House link.  And here’s White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney’s press conference (5/23) clearly and cogently explaining it – really worth watching:

baizuoWe close with the most fun news of the week.  That is to bring your attention to the Chinese word baizuo.  Here are the characters:

The background of the Chinese keyboard is to note that baizuo is the new Internet insult term tens of millions of Chinese use now.  Baizuo means “white left” – and while it’s been in use for about two years, a Hong Kong website explained it to the rest of the world on Saturday (5/20):  The Curious Rise of the ‘White Left’ as a Chinese Internet Insult.

And who are they talking about?  White Libtards:

Baizuo are those who only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment and have no sense of real problems in the real world; they are hypocritical humanitarians who advocate for peace and equality only to satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority; they are obsessed with political correctness to the extent that they tolerate backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism; they believe in a welfare state that benefits only the idle and the free riders; they are the ignorant and arrogant Westerners who pity the rest of the world and think they are saviors.”

Sound about right?  There’s more:

“Chinese critics of the ‘white left’ discovered Donald J. Trump, whom they both identify with and take inspirations from. Baizuo critics identify Obama and Clinton as the new epitome of the ‘white left’, while Trump was taken as the champion of everything the ‘white left’ were against, thus baizuo critics naturally became his enthusiastic supporters.

 

To be sure, there are a few who publically criticize the demonization of baizuo and Chinese netizens’ support for Trump. For baizuo critics, this proves that they are typical of the ‘white left’: biased, elitist, ignorant of social reality and constantly applying double standards.”

Trump sees the possibilities.  He’ll be visiting China next year – and don’t be astounded by the millions who’ll cheer him.

 That’s a wrap.  Have a fun and enjoyable three-day Memorial Day weekend.  But please, don’t just look at this Monday as a day off work.  The last Monday of May is far more solemn than Veterans Day, when we honor those who have served our nation in uniform.

Memorial Day is the day Americans honor those who have died serving their country.  That’s as solemn as you can get.  Take the time to thank them in prayer for enabling us to preserve our country, our freedoms, and the ability to enjoy this day.  Thank them with all your heart.  I assure you, they will be listening and be appreciative.
