Macron Rests Hand On Trump’s Arm After Trump Mentions Hero French Policeman President Trump earned a warm gesture from French President Emmanuel Macron after giving a shoutout to a hero French police officer on Tuesday. During his remarks welcoming Macron to the White House, Trump addressed the “timeless bonds of history” connecting the United States and France. “We are people who cherish our values, protect our civilization and recognize the image of God in every human soul,” Trump said. “This legacy has made us who we are and given us what we hold dear: the blessings of faith and freedom, the marvels of art and science, the love of family and community, and the defense of home and country.” “This righteous calling, this sacred heritage, is what moved a young Frenchman to risk death for American liberty at Yorktown. It is what spurred the Americans to storm the cliffs of Omaha Beach,” he continued. “Just weeks ago, we added a new name to this chronicle of our great heroes, a brave French policeman named Arnaud Beltrame. He stared down evil and did not flinch.” Beltrame willingly traded places with a hostage during a standoff in March. He died of injuries sustained in the incident and was later awarded with a French national honor. When Trump mentioned Beltrame during his speech, Macron gently placed his hand on Trump’s arm. Trump turned to look at Macron, and the pair smiled at one another in solidarity. http://dailycaller.com/2018/04/24/macron-trump-solidarity-beltrame/
By ship I would think as it would from other sources to there. Big trade in huge tanker ships. Our massive amount of shipping was built during the oil glut, waiting. Otherwise in Europe it can be off loaded to tank farms and generally pumped through pipe lines....or just deliver the crude to ports around the Mediterranean; refineries usually relatively close. The point of the article is that due to Russian and Opec error resulting in inflated prices offers Europe more choices and more grades which benefits everyone.
I was watching the following "Judicial Watch Announces Satellite Feed of 'Deep State Update' Special Panel Presentation" until it was preempted by the joint presser between Pres. Trump and French Pres. Macron which also appears to be very informative. I could not get the Live feed for the "Deep State Update" to work but I hope that we hear the details of this soon.

Once more Marc taylor is accurate. Wow. I pray and hope that every aspect of his prophecies dealing with the US s come true. Especially bringing these bad actors to justice.
They never thought she would lose. This has been a desperate attempt to unseat a duly elected president. They knew their dirty deeds would come to light if they lost the election but they never imagined they would lose. Everything stems from that.

Hmmm....Comey is now reported to be "lawyering up"!! And his choice for one atty is the guy who railroaded and oversaw the crooked trial against Scooter Libby, never disclosing exculpatory evidence, and whom President Trump, unfamiliar with all of the details of the case until he read them, just pardoned. EXCLUSIVE: Comey Has Brought On Former U.S. Attorney Pat Fitzgerald As One Of His Lawyers https://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckr...attorney-pat-fitzgerald-as-one-of-his-lawyers Trump Is Right to Pardon Scooter Libby, an Innocent Man The target of an out-of-control special counsel, he was convicted on the basis of now-discredited facts. ....... It appears Mr. Cheney was the investigation’s real target. Mr. Libby’s lawyers have said prosecutors offered to drop the charges against Mr. Libby if he would incriminate his boss. But, there was “no there, there.” Neither Mr. Libby nor Mr. Cheney had anything to do with the “leak” or with covering it up. No one was charged with a crime in the “outing” of the agent, Valerie Plame, and it’s not clear it was a crime. ......Special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald was appointed by his friend James Comey, then deputy attorney general. From the start, Mr. Fitzgerald knew that the critical “leak” to Novak had come from then-Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage. He nevertheless commenced an extensive investigation to “discover” what had happened. https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-is-right-to-pardon-scooter-libby-an-innocent-man-1523658362

America’s Unsustainable Empire By Patrick J. Buchanan Before President Trump trashes the Iran nuclear deal, he might consider: If he could negotiate an identical deal with Kim Jong Un, it would astonish the world and win him the Nobel Peace Prize. For Iran has no nuclear bomb or ICBM and has never tested either. It has never enriched uranium to bomb grade. It has shipped 98 percent of its uranium out of the country. It has cameras inside and inspectors crawling all over its nuclear facilities. And North Korea? It has atom bombs and has tested an H-bomb. It has intermediate-range ballistic missiles that can hit Guam and an ICBM that, fully operational, could hit the West Coast. It has shorter-range missiles that could put nukes on South Korea and Japan. Hard to believe Kim Jong Un will surrender these weapons, his ticket of admission to the table of great powers. Yet the White House position is that the Iran nuclear deal should be scrapped, and no deal with Kim Jong Un signed that does not result in the “denuclearization” of the peninsula. If denuclearization means Kim gives up all his nukes and strategic missiles, ceases testing, and allows inspectors into all his nuclear facilities, we may be waiting a long time. Trump decides on the Iran deal by May 12. And we will likely know what Kim is prepared to do, and not prepared to do, equally soon. France’s President Emmanuel Macron is in D.C. to persuade Trump not to walk away from the Iran deal and to keep U.S. troops in Syria. Chancellor Angela Merkel will be arriving at week’s end with a similar message. On the White House front burner then are these options: Will North Korea agree to surrender its nuclear arsenal, or is it back to confrontation and possible war? Will we stick with the nuclear deal with Iran, or walk away, issue new demands on Tehran, and prepare for a military clash if rebuffed? Do we pull U.S. troops out of Syria as Trump promised, or keep U.S. troops there to resist the reconquest of his country by Bashar Assad and his Russian, Iranian, Hezbollah and Shiite allies? Beyond, the larger question looms: How long can we keep this up? How long can this country, with its shrinking share of global GDP, sustain its expanding commitments to confront and fight all over the world? U.S. planes and ships now bump up against Russians in the Baltic and Black seas. We are sending Javelin anti-tank missiles to Kiev, while NATO allies implore us to bring Ukraine and Georgia into the alliance. This would mean a U.S. guarantee to fight an alienated, angered and nuclear-armed Russia in Crimea and the Caucasus. Sixteen years after 9/11 and the invasion of Afghanistan, we are still there, assisting Afghan troops against a Taliban we thought we had defeated. We are now fighting what is left of ISIS in Syria alongside our Kurd allies, who tug us toward conflict with Turkey. U.S. forces and advisers are in Niger, Djibouti, Somalia. We are aiding the Saudis in their air war and naval blockade of Yemen. The last Korean War, which cost 33,000 U.S. lives, began in the June before this writer entered 7th grade. Why is the defense of a powerful South Korea, with an economy 40 times that of the North, still a U.S. responsibility? We are committed, by 60-year-old treaties, to defend Japan, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand. Voices are being heard to have us renew the war guarantee to Taiwan that Jimmy Carter canceled in 1979. National security elites are pushing for new naval and military ties to Vietnam and India, to challenge Beijing in the South China Sea, Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. How long can we sustain a worldwide empire of dependencies? How many wars of this century — Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen — turned out to have been worth the blood shed and the treasure lost? And what have all the “color-coded revolutions” we have instigated to advance “democracy” done for America? In a New York Times essay, “Adapting to American Decline,” Christopher Preble writes: “America’s share of global wealth is shrinking. By some estimates, the United States accounted for roughly 50 percent of global output at the end of World War II. … It has fallen to 15.1 percent today.” Preble continues: “Admitting that the United States is incapable of effectively adjudicating every territorial dispute or of thwarting every security threat in every part of the world is hardly tantamount to surrender. It is rather a wise admission of the limits of American power.” It is imperative, wrote Walter Lippmann, that U.S. commitments be brought into balance with U.S. power. This “forgotten principle … must be recovered and returned to the first place in American thought.” That was 1943, at the height of a war that found us unprepared. We are hugely overextended today. And conservatives have no higher duty than to seek to bring U.S. war guarantees into conformity with U.S. vital interests and U.S. power. http://buchanan.org/blog/americas-unsustainable-empire-129168
Excellent article. But Buchanan omits one thing. The jig is up on North Korea. According to Q-Anon sources, Trump is cutting the strings of the CIA in North Korea. The sources say North Korea has been an CIA satellite from day one. Incredible to fathom, but after watching for 60 years Cuba disentegrate only 90 miles from the USA, and with a U.S. military base, makes me wonder if all this hoopla was done on purpose. Has the CIA brought chaos and communism to certain strategic corners of the world on purpose, for reasons that would blow all our minds? Is Trump tired of all this nonsense?

I think we've discussed this inevitable NK catastrophe here or possibly in the "Signs" thread. Looks like it's come to pass. It would seem that "rocket boy" continues tests at his own, and his people's, peril. Bye bye mountain. Wonder which way the wind blows...towards Japan?? They have enough fall out problems! Now he can be monitored if rebuilding on another chosen mountain but if this was chosen for its structural value then the country would be further in danger if attempting such tests again elsewhere. North Korea’s nuclear test site has collapsed ... and that may be why Kim Jong-un suspended tests The mountain’s collapse after a fifth blast last fall has led to the creation of a massive ‘chimney’ that could leak radioactive fallout into the air, researchers have found ....... The last five of Pyongyang’s six nuclear tests have all been carried out under Mount Mantap at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site in North Korea’s northwest. One group of researchers found that the most recent blast tore open a hole in the mountain, which then collapsed upon itself. A second group concluded that the breakdown created a “chimney” that could allow radioactive fallout from the blast zone below to rise into the air. ....... The mountain’s collapse, and the prospect of radioactive exposure in the aftermath, confirms a series of exclusive reports by the South China Morning Post on China’s fears that Pyongyang’s latest nuclear test had caused a fallout leak. Radioactive dust could escape through holes or cracks in the damaged mountain, the scientists said. ........ North Korea saw the mountain as an ideal location for underground nuclear experiments because of its elevation – it stood more than 2,100 metres (6,888 feet) above sea level – and its terrain of thick, gentle slopes that seemed capable of resisting structural damage. The mountain’s surface had shown no visible damage after four underground nuclear tests before 2017. But the 100-kilotonne bomb that went off on September 3 vaporised surrounding rocks with unprecedented heat and opened a space that was up to 200 metres (656 feet) in diameter, according to a statement posted on the Wen team’s website on Monday. As shock waves tore through and loosened more rocks, a large section of the mountain’s ridge, less than half a kilometre (0.3 mile) from the peak, slipped down into the empty pocket created by the blast, leaving a scar visible in satellite images. Wen concluded that the mountain had collapsed after analysing data collected from nearly 2,000 seismic stations. Three small earthquakes that hit nearby regions in the wake of the collapse added credence to his conclusion, suggesting the test site had lost its geological stability. ........ “The test was not only destabilising the site but increasing the risk of eruption of the Changbai Mountain,” a large, active volcano at China-Korean border, said Hu, who asked that his university affiliation not be disclosed for this article because of the topic’s sensitivity. http://www.scmp.com/news/china/dipl...site-has-collapsed-and-may-be-why-kim-jong-un
Funny..... TRUMP to Reporter Kids at White House: “Look How Nice Your Parents Are Behaving, They’re Not Screaming” President Trump welcomed the children of White House staff members and reporters to the White House today for ‘Bring Your Child to Work’ day. The Gateway Pundit reporter Cassandra Fairbanks brought her beautiful daughter to the White House for the day. Her daughter’s choice of attire was quite appropriate. (Red MAGA hat....picture wouldn't paste...can see her in pic above) President Trump took the children inside the Oval Office. The president told the children, “Look how nice your parents are behaving. I can’t believe this. They’re not screaming. They’re not going wild.” Sad but true. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...ur-parents-are-behaving-theyre-not-screaming/
