WKRLEM-TV: They have a lot to say about the people President Trump has appointed as ambassador?



Have you been following the freakout by the New York Times, the Democrats and various and sundry Anti-Semites over President Trumps new ambassador to Israel?

President Trump named his lawyer and friend David Friedman as ambassador to Israel. The reason he freaks them out is that he is an authentic Jew. He is Orthodox like Trump's son-in-law and believes in Israel and not the lies peddled by the Arabists in the State Department. President Trump is going to redeem the promise of the last six Republican Presidential nominees as he will actual move the US Embassy to Jerusalem to recognize it as the capital of Israel. You see Trump is actually going to do it.

How that fits into the narrative that he is an Anti-Semite....well I will leave that to MSNBC to explain. I just don't want to hear complaints about who he appoints as Ambassador after the nonsense the Bush and Obama pulled. Trump needs to be creative. Amarosa should get South Africa. Dennis Rodman gets North Korea because they love him there. Of course Gary Busey has to get the Russian portfolio. I want to give everybody in the State Department a stroke.

That should really drain the swamp.

“It is not appropriate to say only dolphin hunting is inhumane”

"[M]s. Kennedy (U.S. ambassador to Japan) has quickly surprised her Japanese hosts by being undiplomatically frank on delicate issues. She created a stir recently when she publicly expressed concern about a bloody annual dolphin hunt that is widely condemned abroad, but that many Japanese view as a part of their traditional culture."
“Deeply concerned by inhumaneness of drive hunt dolphin killing,” Ms. Kennedy wrote last week on Twitter. “USG opposes drive hunt fisheries,” she added, referring to the United States government’s stance on the hunts, in which dolphins are herded into coves so they can be hacked to death.
I thought Obama was not a co-signer to American exceptionalism. What is Ms. Kennedy doing, promoting a version of our values over there? Who does she think is in the White House? George W Bush?
“How do you rein someone like her in?” said Dave Spector, an American who has worked in Japan for more than 25 years as a television commentator and who has followed Ms. Kennedy’s ambassadorship closely. “Her father is on the 50-cents coin, for crying out loud. She is bigger than life.”

Her fame is so formidable, he said, that she is vulnerable to people looking for meaning in her every move.

But others quickly criticized her for sticking her nose into something that they say is not her, or any other foreigner’s, business. Some angrily reminded her that Commodore Matthew C. Perry opened Japan at gunpoint in 1853 to secure ports for American whalers.

“We don’t want to be told such things by Americans who used to kill whales just for their oil,” said one user. Another was succinct: “Stupid woman! Go home!”
