Ted Cruz: What class guy!
21
Jul
Ted Cruz ended his political career last night. Four years ago Ron Paul was not invited to speak at the GOP convention. Classless Mitt showed he lacked self confidence. Ron did not endorse Mitt Romney, because the GOP nominee is a Big Government Republican. Ron held a rally for his supporters down the street from the convention instead. Trump showed class by inviting Cruz to speak. When Trump was informed Cruz was not going to endorse him, Trump shrugged it off. Whatever you think of Trump, he is supremely self-confident–a trait the American people admire.
“Ted Cruz failed to endorse Donald Trump in his speech to the Republican National Convention, telling Americans to “vote your conscience.”

Interventionism is killing innocent people. And the neocons wonder why foreigners hate the federal government and there is blowback.
George Washington outlined the only moral foreign policy in his Farewell Address: no entangling alliances and commerce with all. In addition, the federal government should not be “exporting democracy” and being the policeman of the world.

Erdogan’s efficient purge
18
Jul
Knowing who to purge so quickly is a remarkable investigative task. Erdogan and this administration should be running the world.
“Overnight Turkish president Erdogan’s counter-coup witch hunt continued, when thousands of police officers were suspended on Monday, widening a systemic purge of Erdogan’s enemies first in the armed forces and then judiciary after a failed military coup, now focusing on the interior police force, and raising concern among European allies that it was abandoning the rule of law. Reuters reports that at least 8,000 police officers have been removed from their posts, in addition to 1,500 at the ministry of finance, on suspicion of links to Friday’s coup.”
