More than 100 State Department employees are expected to sign a memo conveying their opposition to the travel ban. I wonder how many officers and enlisted personnel in the military would have loved top sign petitions stating their opposition to bummer's goofy and lethal mandates on military protocols and policies.

Listening to what a certain American radio presenter said yesterday, in his debate with a SKY twit .... it seems that the description, "ban", is not quite the correct one in terms of President Trump's Executive Order .... It seems that what Trump had done is put "A Moratorium" in place for 120 days and 90 days for certain countries during which time further, more comprehensive and suitable measures will be put together and acted upon. Therefore President Trump has not "banned" anyone on a permanent basis as things currently stand. And another thing, why the term "racist" on current liberal placards ? If anything, this Moratorium could be said to have to do with the adherents of an extreme Religious dogma. What on earth has an individual's racial classification got to do with it ? After all their are Caucasians and Negroids who practice the Muslim faith. Is President Trump now a "racist" against Caucasians ?? ... Jeez .... These air heads can't do any "chant routine" without incorporating the word "racist" in it .... they've been so brainwashed in that regard that it's probably resulted in a "genetic mutation" !!!

Yep, my law school friend in the State Department is all tears and gnashing of teeth. It's the old jibe about Foggy Bottom: the embassy of the world to the US instead of the other way around. My friend worked too long on Syrian refugee camps in Turkey. He thinks he's representing their interests and being their advocate in our government, instead of the other way around. They aren't going to like it that Trump is going to twist their arms and make them represent our interests, not the world's interests at our expense.
