Lame-stream media slams POTUS for Fox News pick for UN job

If President Trump chose not to attend the funeral of George H.W. Bush the media would have called him insensitive and probably something like adolescent. He attended and all they could talk about was how he should not have been there.

Now the lame-stream media is blasting Trump's pick to replace Nikki Haley as UN Ambassador. Heather Nauert was the person he nominated and now they're questioning her qualifications and point out that he typically picks people who have worked at, or are currently working at Fox News.

It was okay when Obama nominated another journalist/communist, Samantha Powers, in 2013, for the same position, but hey, this is Donald Trump, and anything he does will be slammed by the leftist media.

Powers, 48, was a war correspondent for four years. She covered the Yugoslav Wars for the Boston Globe and U.S. News & World Report, as well as other publications. She was a columnist for Time while being director of a human rights center at Harvard.

She joined the Obama campaign in 2008, but was quickly forced to resign after she correctly observed Hillary Clinton to be a "monster" who was "stooping to anything" to win.

After Powers' nomination to the U.N. position, many Republicans supported her nomination such as Sens. Lindsey Graham, John McCain and independent Joe Lieberman. She was confirmed by a vote of 87-10 and served for over three years then succeeded by Nikki Haley.

But now that Trump has nominated as Haley's replacement Heather Nauert, a former Fox News journalist, the media has a problem with that.

Nauert has worked as a journalist for twenty years and also served as a government affairs consultant, working on issues such as Social Security, insurance and taxes, as well a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

This is not "What About-ism," it's about media bias.

In April last year, the U.S. Department of State announced that Nauert would become the department spokesperson. This past March, she was named Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs.

But Trump nominated her so the media has a problem with that.

The geniuses at the Comedy News Network (CNN) immediately called into doubt Nauert's skills. In a section of a news piece titled "Qualifications questioned," CNN cited a "senior diplomat" who said, "This is extraordinary. Especially in the footsteps of the former ambassadors: Madeleine Albright, Susan Rice."

Susan Rice? She went on the weekend morning shows lying about Benghazi being sparked by a video when, in fact, she knew it was a lie.

In a Washington Post piece headlined "The Foxification of the Trump White House, visualized," the super-liberal rag complained about the "remarkable bit of interplay between the administration and the network that is also the only one Trump has praised regularly since taking office ..." And Obama and the left constantly attacks.

In other words, it's really getting to them.

Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, who served under George W. Bush, noted the hypocrisy. "More than 26 reporters went into the Obama Administration. I guess that was fine with the press back then, but not now," he tweeted.

Erik Wemple, a Washington Post "reporter", responded to Fleischer's tweet: "All right: Were they from the same cable-news network -- the same cable-news network that the president watches for hours and hours each day, and gets bogus information from?"

Fleischer ate his lunch, responding: "No, silly. Barack Obama had his pick of reporters from every network, newspaper and magazine. They almost all fell for him, and those who didn’t join his Administration loved him and gave him soft coverage for 8 years."

Bite it, Wemple.

Kerry denounced for 'shameful' shadow diplomacy with Iran

Sedition: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority--Merriam Webster Dictionary

Former Vietnam War protester, Jane Fonda wingman, failed presidential candidate and  Secretary of State John 'Lurch' Kerry is being lambasted for conducting shadow diplomacy with our enemy Iran. The leftist Kerry admitted to multiple meetings with Iranian officials without the knowledge of the Trump administration and even spoke with them about the scrapped nuclear deal.

A Trump administration official told Fox News on Thursday that Kerry's meetings are "shameful," and detailed what Iranian-backed militias are doing to injure and kill civilians in Iraq, Syria and Yemen.

Other Republicans suggest Kerry's actions may be illegal.

"John Kerry is out giving advice to Iran about how to maneuver around what Donald Trump is doing, it's insidious," former White House press secretary for George W. Bush, Ari Fleisher told Fox News' "Special Report" on Wednesday." "I don't know if it's legal or illegal, I don't care about that side of it. It's wrong."

It probably depends on exactly what Kerry said at those multiple meetings, but I suspect we'll never know.

Kerry, a daredevil biker and former Massachusetts senator made those comments about his covert meetings with Iran as he promotes his new book, "Every Day is Extra." [But whether or not it has a Forward by James Taylor is unclear.]

Kerry made an appearance on Hugh Hewitt's radio program where he acknowledged meeting with scumcrumpet Iranian Foreign Minister Javad "Death to America" Zarif "three or four times," since leaving office. He admitted to discussing the scrapped nuclear deal and other issues.

"What I have done is tried to elicit from him what Iran might be willing to do in order to exchange the dynamic in the Middle East for the better," Kerry said, without explaining how he is able to put any foreign government/American plan in place since he is not in office and has no influence.

Later that same Wednesday during an appearance on Fox News' "The Daily Briefing" with Dana Perino, the abundantly follicled fool didn't deny the suggestion that he is telling the Iranians to wait out Trump until there is a Democratic president again, who's willing to allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon.

Then Kerry went all hyperbolic: "I think everybody in the world [he means everybody that counts--Democrats, pro-abortionists, LGBTQIFTKGLM, atheists, illegal aliens and others] is talking about waiting out President Trump."

Kerry will most likely be putting out feelers for a 2020 presidential bid, increasing the possibility that the United States of America will have yet again, an American-hating president.

Kerry has absolutely no business working behind the scenes to undo the president's policies. It was initially reported in May that he met with Zarif to work on preserving the nuclear deal, which the Boston Globe called an "aggressive yet stealthy" mission to put pressure on the Trump administration to keep the deal is some form [in spite of the promise Trump made to the American people to end the deal which helped get him elected].

That same month, Trump announced plans to scrap the deal, declaring that it has failed to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions. Last month the Treasure Department restored sanctions against the terrorist country.

Kerry has violated the Logan Act, but so what? Nobody has ever been prosecuted under the law and Kerry knows that. The act prohibits private citizens [including wealthy ones whose money came from their wife] from negotiating on behalf of the U.S. government without authorization.

In Kerry's case, we should "go for it" and indict the guy.

Some say, however, that indicting Kerry would be hypocritical because Mike Flynn, then-Trump national security adviser, violated the Logan Act for meeting with the Russian ambassador DURING THE TRANSITION. That is clearly a normal procedure for incoming presidents and their staff to do.

So it was a scandal when Flynn met with a"diplomat of a country that has an embassy in DC," as Walid Phares, a Fox News security analyst said, and added that they consider it "normal" when Kerry conducts "parallel diplomacy" with "a regime on the US terror list."

When the reports of Kerry's dealings came out this year, President Trump blasted him for what he termed "possibly illegal Shadow Diplomacy."

On Monday Trump tweeted:

"The United States does not need John Kerry's possibly illegal Shadow Diplomacy on the very badly negotiated Iran Deal. He was the one that created this MESS in the first place!"

Kerry denied his conversations were inappropriate, but that's because he views America as inappropriate.

Like Obama, Kerry can't stay out of the public limelight.

"Every secretary of state, former secretary of state continues to meet with foreign leaders, goes to security conferences, goes around the world," Kerry said. "We all do that. And we all have conversations (about) the state of affairs with the world in order to understand them."

But they don't do it in secret, Lurch.
