Two stories stuck out at me today while perusing the news:
The first was this one:
WASHINGTON - Attorney General William Barr said Monday that the Saudi Arabian shooter at Naval Air Station Pensacola was "motivated by Jihadist ideology."
Barr says 21 Saudi military students are being removed from the US training program and returning home……..
Many of the 21 cadets being sent home had contact with child pornography and possessed jihadist or anti-American material, Barr said. None is accused of having advanced knowledge of the shooting, which Barr said was motivated by “jihadist ideology” and has been classified as an act of terrorism.
Officials have said Alshamrani hosted a party before the shooting, where he and others watched videos of mass shootings. The gunman had also apparently taken to Twitter before the shooting to criticize U.S. support of Israel and accuse America of being anti-Muslim, another U.S. official told the AP last month.

OK now bear with me…..everytime a person of middle eastern descent did anything disruptive it was directly Obama’s fault?? Where are the hearings concerning the security lapses that allowed these guys to slip thru?? Also something that has always puzzled me is Trump made a very big deal about his travel ban but yet he exempted Saudi Arabia who seemed to provide more soldiers to the international jihadist forces than any other??
The second one was this:
On Monday, President Trump retweeted a fake image of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer in Middle Eastern garb standing in front of an Iranian flag. The poorly-photoshopped image showed Pelosi wearing hijab and Schumer with a turban on his head. "Democrats 2020," the text on the bottom of the image read.

I’m really wanting us to beat Trump in 2020, but when Trump gives us an opening like letting a bunch of people in here that are potential jihadists and one goes on a shooting spree and we really hear crickets from democrats, where he tweets a pic of Pelosi and Schumer and nobody calls him out for being a hypocrite I just wonder if we have the go for the jugular savvy that we need. Seriously, imagine if this had happened under Obama. The GOP would have been on every TV show making it an issue.
