It’s commendable that President Donald Trump has appointed a Board of Peace to supervise the rebuilding of Gaza together with the disarmament of the remaining Hamas terrorists.
In doing so, Trump is sort of a one-man United Nations, doing the work within the Center East and elsewhere all over the world that the unhappy sack UN can not or is not going to do.
Trump has not solely ended a number of wars throughout the globe, however he has additionally ended combating between international locations that didn’t even know they have been at struggle.
That’s a joke, in fact, however you get the drift.
Final week Trump introduced creation of the worldwide board that may embrace Secretary of State Marco Rubio, U.S. Particular Envoy Steve Witcoff, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair as members.
It’ll additionally embrace representatives from international locations like Italy, Hungary, Turkey, Egypt, Argentina and a number of different nations. Leaders from 60 nations have been invited. He talked about it on the World Financial Discussion board in Davos.
Trump, in fact, would be the chairman. And if peace prevails in Gaza, Trump might be in for an actual Nobel Peace Prize as an alternative of the secondhand one he was regifted by Maria Machado, the Venezuelan opposition chief.
Whereas he’s engaged on this peace course of in Gaza, Trump also needs to take into account making a Board of Peace for Minnesota, the “Land of Ten Thousand Fakes.”
It’s there the place feckless Democratic politicians with their reckless rhetoric, led by blowhard Gov. Tim Walz, are turning Minneapolis right into a maelstrom.
In motive turned the other way up and inside out, Minnesota Democratic politicians are opposing ICE’s try and rid the state of unlawful immigrants needed for homicide, rape, theft, little one sexual abuse, drug smuggling and so forth.
It isn’t a lot that Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are in favor of harboring prison unlawful immigrants, it’s simply that they hate Trump.
There was hardly a peep from Democrats when their beloved Barack Obama did the identical factor when he was president.
However Obama, in fact, had a kinder, gentler method when it got here to deporting unlawful immigrants. Trump, by comparability, is a bull in a china store.
Each Walz and Frey at the moment are below investigation by the U.S. Justice Division for allegedly impeding ICE by means of their shrill and fiery rhetoric which has led to rioting following the taking pictures loss of life of Renee Good by an ICE agent.
There’s additionally the idea that they’re looking for to divert consideration from investigations into the state’s rampant fraud and abuse of federal welfare packages which might be estimated to be in billions of {dollars}.
Whereas ICE has operated in Massachusetts within the face of opposition from Gov. Maura Healey, Lawyer Common Andrea Campbell and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, it has but to fulfill organized rioting — not less than not but.
However that’s no due to the aggressive rhetoric coming from the three leaders.
Wu, mayor of a sanctuary metropolis, mentioned Boston is getting ready for an ICE showdown. “The federal authorities is principally at struggle towards peaceable American cities. This isn’t new over the past 12 months, however the escalation continues to be alarming at each step.”
Campbell, the state’s “chief regulation enforcement officer,” informed the State Home Information Service that, with none proof, the killing of Good by the ICE agent “might be homicide.”
Of the Trump administration, Campbell mentioned, “They’re sowing concern. They’re killing U.S. residents. They only kidnapped a president, or chief, in Venezuela for oil.”
To not be outdone, Gov. Healey mentioned, “What’s happening proper now with ICE on this nation is horrifying.”
The techniques of ICE, she mentioned, are “simply extremely merciless and callous.”
Not one of many three made any point out of a single little one, girl or U.S. citizen who has been cruelly and callously raped or murdered by a prison unlawful immigrant.
