Mac (Jim Mc Kinney) opines on the Tillerson situation.
Mac feels, rather strongly, that Tillerson was not of the same mindset as the President particularly in the areas of Iran and globalism.
I feel that Trump needs to communicate better with his staff instead of just firing some as if he were funning a private cmpany.
Opinions are certainly appreciated always and certainly in this case!

Agree Silverdollar as do most of my colleagues.
Thanks Mr. Mckinney for bringing a glimpse of reality to the fake news induced hysteria and Chaos. “Wall Street Journal, NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC PBS i.e. all major Media are fake news” polls show that only 6% actually believe what these liars say.
I think Tillerson was appointed in the first place, because when Trump first entered office, Trump was simply unprepared to have won the Presidency. He had to fill a lot of positions quickly, and made quick choices; some of which were not great.
Same comment CFS as I wrote to Silverdollar above.
So it looks like Trump lied again:
“The media has been speculating that I fired Rex Tillerson or that he would be leaving soon – FAKE NEWS! He’s not leaving”
That statement of not firing Tillerson was true at the time it was made, over three months ago. However, disagreements between Tillerson and Trump had grown much more important in recent times. (Especially this year)
Every president from FDR on has lied. But the Clintons and Obama took lying to new levels.
I doubt Trump can catch them.
Time will certainly tell bonzo from Texas.
I think you mean Trump has taken it to new lows.
Compared to his predessors, I would not necessarily agree with you PF
Yes it does PF. Although one could argue this one was on the strategic side.
I grew during a period when the US was a global powerhouse in manufacturing and world trade. If you can make things better and cheaper than most of the rest of the world, free trade and zero tariffs are best policy for the US. However, when you allow manufacturing and production to collapse relative to other countries, it becomes time to reevaluate a zero tariff policy.
Simple common sense and truth, CFS
The more worrisome thing is the Pompeo/Haspel duo. Trump might as well bring back Dick Cheney and let him be Sec. of State. Who wants a war?
Don’t like that one because after my accident last Saturday that is very similar to how I look (only worse) today.
Just a little Dick Cheney / Darth Vader humor to lighten the reality of what he actually did.
I never could stand the guy and he was about corrupt as they come
Yep – that’s him
Great picture Excelsior
Chris: +1
Haspel and Cheney/Bush won’t be going to Europe any time soon. They still arrest people for war crimes over there.
At least Pompeo isn’t the S.of Offense like Cheney. Spooky part for me is that he probably figures God is on his side so why worry.
I am not sure just how a Christian can feel that way.
Hi Temple, Harlan and I discussed this topic and the editorial will post tomorrow.
The MSM would like to keep the Russia Collusion story alive:
http://thefederalist.com/2018/03/13/media-cant-figure-out-if-tillerson-proves-or-disproves-russia-collusion/
I don’t think Tillerson’s firing had anything to do with Russia.
I think think it was primarily over trade policies.
I personally like the choice of Pompeo, as replacement.
(despite not necessarily liking all CIA policies.)
Why Did Trump Fire Tillerson Now?
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/03/exodus-rex/555473/
I think that the Russian Collusion story will be alive for quite awhile.
Thats it Temple.
That is the point.
If anyone was in doubt as to wether trump was an noecon zionist puppet they should understand now.
I agree. Pompeo is a neocon. Trump is Israel first. This is all about more war n aggression
agreed.
Al/Jim M:
How could you conclude Trump’s actions reflect “America First?” He just turned the state department over to AIPAC. This is “Israel First” not America First.
As an international businessman Tillerson realized it is important to keep to the deals you agree to. Everyone in the world except for the Mossad recognizes that (1) Iran never had a nuclear weapons program and (2) they agreed to stop all work that could have led to a nuclear weapons program in exchange for the US to open up the banking system to them and return the money that the US had seized. When Trump talks about giving Iran $150 billion, he’s talking about giving them their own money back.
Iran stuck to the deal. The US didn’t. Even Europe which is also under the thumb of the Zionists is against the US unilaterally dumping the deal.
The same war mongers that brought us Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Niger want to attack Iran. Well, as a guy who has been there and done that, there is not a way in hell the US and or Israel can defeat a country of 80 million people without using nukes.
I think China and Russia have drawn a line in the sand and the idiots working for Trump are about to cross it to their and our peril. When a US commander says that US troops are ready to die for Israel, we do need to put the US first. Our kids have been dying for Israel for 17 years. Let Israel fight their own stupid wars.
Tillerson was a sole breath of sanity in the kindergarten we call Washington.
The Mossad recognizes it,
but chaos is their seed
and war is their harvest.
I guess its a warped sense of humor but I got a laff from “How could you conclude Trump’s actions reflect “America First?”
“He just turned the state department over to AIPAC. This is “Israel First” not America First.”
Obviously I agree whole heartedly, I feel I have a choice, laff or cry, I choose to laff.
Nothing to do but watch, but we are already under way with the 6th mass extinction, so, a few hypersonic nukes and 1500 foot tsunamis here and there wont really make that much of a dif.
Not in the long run anyway.
Hope gold moves soon.
To an extent, I agree with you b. I choose to laugh bevcause I enjoy, for the most part, sleeping at hight.
Well said, Bob (and unfortunately true)
plus 1
Why would you think that he is a neocon zionist puppet. Look at his stance on Iran.
Rex, We Hardly Knew You. No, Really.
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/03/rex-tillerson-was-the-most-passive-secretary-of-state-in-a-century.html
Only the best! Anyway, McMaster apparently next shortly
Thanks for the link AJ
How Naive ! You’re PRISON is almost READY !!!!
Does it have a television, Franky?
A NICE ! TV .
Jim McKinny’s comments were correct. Rex helped Trump engage on the world stage and Pompeo will do a good job. Most don’t connect the dots of how Pompeo will and can drain the swamp. And as seen in the last year and a half, most people second guessing Trump will be proven wrong, yet again… (funny)
So far, everyone has missed the point of why Trump is being such a trade deficit hawk. News flash: America has been loosing the trade war for more than 30 years…All Trump has to do is exit NAFTA and impose a mirror tax with Europe and the trade will be ballanced. He already has massive contracts in hand from Asia to offset the deficit.
I will certainly wait and see Chartster.
I came to like tillerson gradually. I am much more progressive than he or Trumpet. . He seemed more stable than Trumpet. Photo ops with little KIM will be good for KIM but bad for USA, DJT is becomeing more unstable , and his perchant for suddend decisions can be problematic. Pray for peace. S
Russll, I personally pray for peae a lot.
I am curious, why do you think that these photo opps will be bad for the U.S.
Tillerson was a stabilizing force for the US , IN PARTICULAR, with Russia& China, and frankly those are the only 2 countries that the US needs to be concerned with in the grand scheme of things.
As far as Russia being behind the US strategically in military weaponry, McKinney needs to get his head out of his ass. Putin did not play the weaponry card last week, haphazardly,
Just ask the commander of the USS Cole , whose Aegis defense mechanism was disarmed by Russian fighters and made a laughibg stock for a number of fly by’s by the Ruseians.
As far as Pompei, he’s a saber rattling neocon to the nth degree, just review his words on past occasions. God, Help & Intervene, because we have squandered our birthright with the exorbitant privilege of the world reserve currency that we have so subjugated most of the rest of the world to remain 3rd world by our excess.
Marty, I agree with you about the military strength of the U.S.
Not sure if this has been posted, but it’s well worth reading:
http://thesaker.is/putins-stunning-revelations-about-new-russian-weapons-systems/
I know little about weapon systems, but I see a lot of seemingly credible articles saying the Russians have achieved primacy in a number of areas.
I still wonder if Putin is the real deal, as stable and responsible as he seems, or if he’s part of the the NWO. Likewise, I wonder if all the drama with Russia is what it appears to be–in my view, the US Neocons provoking, sanctioning and surrounding strengthening rival Russia, all the while maintaining the pretext of innocence and demonizing Russia in the press–or if it is all just a show in furtherance of the globalist scheme.
I guess we’ll find out.

Sarah Westall.
I have rarely listened to Sarah. I have to say that the “Clinton Blood Trail” is ridiculously old news and has bnee opinmed on way too many times. Time to deal with the present as the voters already dealt with the past.
That the Clinton murders are old news does not matter as there is no statute of limitaions in murder cases. All that matters is that justice is finally done and that the Clintons are hung by their necks until dead, and if God has mercy on their souls that is His business.
Interesting thoughts bonzo!
Agreed, Bonzo. We don’t even know the scope of the Clintons’ crimes yet. They need to be investigated and held accountable for their crimes regardless of their status. So do Bush and Cheney.
Continued impunity for the mega-criminals that plague us only guarantees we will be further victimized in the future.
Well okay. When was this video posted, Jerry?
Just saw it today……..at sgt….most likely recently…….since I have not seen it before
Thanks Jerry

There’s something interesting happening in Texas:

CFS, do you actually think that this will go anywhere?
Nothing moves quickly in the Judicial system.
If Trump survives through to the end of his term, I believe there is a good chance Obamacare will die.
(But then, I think Scalia was murdered, so what do I know.)
Could not open it, CFS, I keep getting an ad instead.
There’s a 30 second ad on the front end, I could not remove.
This is not good…………….Larry Kudlow on Gold………
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-03-14/larry-kudlow-i-would-buy-dollar-and-sell-gold
Hope Trump is not listening to this Jerk……..Larry The Con Man…..
Maybe Larry Knows there is no gold in Ft. Knox…….
Ok,…..Here is something to like about Larry……Tax cuts…..
Meanwhile, speaking on CNBC, Trump’s new chief economic advisor Larry Kudlow shone some more light on what this next iteration of Trump’s plan will be, saying that tax cuts for individuals should be made permanent under “phase two” of the tax overhaul.
“Individuals deserve a permanent break,” Kudlow told a CNBC audience on Wednesday afternoon following Trump’s earlier comments that a second phase of tax changes would be coming, although he didn’t expect a phase two to cut the corporate rate further.
“Talk about capital gains, possibly lowering the rate, but possibly indexing them for inflation, which is something many of us argued for years. We index, the individual code for inflation, because of the 70s experience, index capital gains because you are paying taxes on illusionary or inflationary profits, which is unfair to investors and its anti-entrepreneurship” Kudlow explained.
Ben Carson should be fired
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/14/us/ben-carson-dining-table.html
If he is anything, Ben Carson should be the Surgan General and not have much to do with housing, etc.
I would be curious to know how much his colleagues have spent on furniture. I mean colleague with his stature.
Kudlow is a nice guy and seems like a loyal ass-kissing type of soldier that Trump wants to be surrounded by.
What is your opinion of this source?
I am biased, because I think Mueller is a sleazy person motivated by liberal beliefs, not seeking the truth, but using his position to damage as many Trump associates by every means possible.
He knows Trump was set up by a fraudulent dossier bought and paid for by Clinton and the DNC. Mueller knows the FISA warrant was fraudulently obtained AND he knows Trump did not collude with the Russians. Mueller has lied to Congress, and is part of the Swamp. Mueller is extremely biased, period.
I believe all factual statements made in the piece were true. I don’t know if the interpretation of the facts is totally true.
After hearing all the reasons why the two saw the world through such different lens’, I can’t figure out how Tillerson ever got the position in the first place. trump stoops to the lowest level though in how he fires his people. Does one have to be drug though the dirt in order to be fired. trump can’t get away from the reality show mentality!
