I have issues with Gorka. He is a trimmer. But on his he is correct: ““The fact that those who drafted and approved the speech removed any mention of Radical Islam or radical Islamic terrorism proves that a crucial element of your presidential campaign has been lost.” At minimum, Gorka’s “radical Islamist” gobbledegook is preferable to censoring and scrubbing jihad altogether.
As many people voted for Trump for his honest and frank talk about the jihad threat as did those who voted for “the wall.” He was the first candidate to address the threat, the motive, directly. This reversal is a betrayal of his base. Trump has been definitively McMastered.
“Breaking: Sebastian Gorka Resigns From Trump Administration,” by Mollie Hemingway, The Federalist, August 25, 2017:
Story continues below advertisement
Sebastian Gorka is resigning his post as Deputy Assistant to President Trump, multiple sources familiar with the situation have told The Federalist.
In a blunt resignation letter, the national security and counterterrorism expert expressed dissatisfaction with the current state of the Trump administration. “[G]iven recent events, it is clear to me that forces that do not support the MAGA promise are – for now – ascendant within the White House,” Gorka wrote. “As a result, the best and most effective way I can support you, Mr. President, is from outside the People’s House.”
Gorka’s letter expressed unhappiness with the direction the Trump administration’s foreign policy has taken, as signaled by the president’s recent speech on Afghanistan:
“Regrettably, outside of yourself, the individuals who most embodied and represented the policies that will ‘Make America Great Again,’ have been internally countered, systematically removed, or undermined in recent months. This was made patently obvious as I read the text of your speech on Afghanistan this week…
“The fact that those who drafted and approved the speech removed any mention of Radical Islam or radical Islamic terrorism proves that a crucial element of your presidential campaign has been lost…
“Just as worrying, when discussing our future actions in the region, the speech listed operational objectives without ever defining the strategic victory conditions we are fighting for. This omission should seriously disturb any national security professional, and any American who is unsatisfied with the last 16 years of disastrous policy decisions which have led to thousands of Americans killed and trillions of taxpayer dollars spent in ways that have not brought security or victory.”
During his time in the Trump administration, Gorka focused on issues such as countering the Muslim Brotherhood, the crisis in Qatar, supporting efforts to draft a new long-term national security strategy, and combatting China’s economic warfare. Before coming to the White House, Gorka was the Major General Matthew C. Horner Chair at Marine Corps University and also contributed to Breitbart News….
The Forward has written dozens of attack pieces against Gorka, including several attempting to align him with Nazism. Most recently that publication retracted a story about his son’s schoolwork. Gorka strenuously objected to allegations he had ties to Nazi groups in his family’s home country of Hungary, where he had previously been involved in national politics. Even detractors eventually acknowledged the Nazi accusations were unfair smears….
UPDATE: In response to this story, the White House issued a statement that said, “Sebastian Gorka did not resign, but I can confirm he no longer works at the White House.”

Trump will lose his support base if he continues the same stupid path that Obama took on islam/jihad.
And the Islamonazi Pope wants christians to bring in more of his islamonazi friends. while the hypocrite hides behind personal security and 40 feet high walls !
And now he even questions christians on their faith http://tinyurl.com/ydy8fkhl
while jihadi rape, assault , murder infidels in EU/America.

We have two choices now: Surrender or fight.
The Islamic War will be won or lost on Trump’s watch.
If he doesn’t understand the threat, we all have a responsibility to inform him.
Live free or die. Never surrender.
Our grandchildren are counting on us.

President Trump is certainly the better alternative, but his remaining cabinet and advisors are beginning to look similar to Comrade Bernie’s collective.
At least that chief iranian imam and puppeteer in charge is gone –

At this point I just don’t have confidence in the president anymore. So many bad moves. It’s like Trump goes into a trance around those in military uniforms with stars on the shoulder straps. As if they can’t be psycholibs. Even Michael Savage, a huge Trump supporter, is getting really p*ssed off at him now.

Someone will have to print a program so as the news observer can keep score and tell the democrats from Republicans. This is not the government that was voted for, this is a bastardization of something, currently undefinable.

I think there are 3 left from our side. After hearing Phoenix it’s obvious Trump believes he can con us by talking pro american meanwhile he has capitulated to the swamp. Neither Bannon nor Gorka would be gone if he was thinking that we are his core. My guess is he’s being extorted and threatened with impeachment. We’ve always been the enemy to Washington.

I think you are being to harsh. Look a what he’s up against. The Deep State who was already entrenched and more so over the last 8 years. I am sure he or his family are under threat they have isolated him.

The Deep State is more entrenched now than it was 2 months ago, and was more entrenched then than it was 5 months ago.
Gorka, Bannon, Flynn, all the mavericks from outside the Beltway purged. Personnel is policy, and Trump now has all the wrong personnel in position to keep the promises regarding national security that he had made to his supporters.
Bolton told by Trump to write him a paper on security, and to feel free to discuss it any time. Bolton writes the paper, but publishes it in National Review Online instead of submitting it to the White House. Why? Bolton says it’s because the people who handle Mr. Trump’s schedule won’t let him in to see the President.
Was Trump lying when he told Bolton he wanted to discuss Bolton’s ideas? Was Trump telling the truth, but he is a president in name only, held hostage by the Deep State, unable to meet with his own supporters at his own behest?
Did Trump believe the things he campaigned on during his run? Did the Deep State brainwash him once he was in office? Are they blackmailing him now, or extorting him somehow into furthering policies with which he disagrees? Does Trump believe in nothing, and he is merely following the path of least resistance?
Was Trump a Deep State plant from the beginning, infiltrated into the Republican primary process to knock the wind out of Ted Cruz’s sails, when the Tea Party anger at Obama and the Democrats was palpable?
If my primary purpose were writing a biography of Trump, these would all be the crucial questions to ask. But my primary purpose is living my life free, without my loved ones and me being crushed by the fascists of the Deep State, or beheaded by jihadists.
So the reasons for Trump’s decisions, as fascinating as they are, recede into the distance compared to their results.
And the crucial question to ask is “What can we do now to salvage what remains of the Republic from the current fiasco?”

Look at Cohn threatening Trump and daring Trump to fire him. Who hires these people?. -Javanka. Boy the NY Republicans that vet these leftists like Cohn probably think that they’ll win NY in the next election.

Trump has made one mistake that any executive avoids like the plague………..hiring family. Let family “Advise” at the dinner table, but not from any official positon. Gorka is one of the few who will speak out and speak the truth – facts – not what some politician wants to hear.

NO they are isolating him, firing/pushing out any support he has inside. He is not traitor but he is trying to stay alive surround by Islamic demons. He has his wife and child to think about, they stop at nothing. WE need to get off our asses and DO something to let them know we’re mad as hell and we’re not gonna take it.

What is Trump thinking? I can’t figure this out. Even assuming that Trump is not a committed conservative and merely used a populist-conservative message to get elected (not hard to imagine if you recall his past positions) that still doesn’t tell us why he would abandon the base who elected him in favor of the RINO swamp-dwellers.
Surely he doesn’t believe that by tacking to the ‘moderate’ side he will get more favorable poll numbers? I don’t believe his support is as low as reported any more than I credited the pre-election polls, and in-so-far as they are lower they reflect the frustration over his not getting his program through Congress — something that could be rectified by replacing less than a handful of senators.
So what is Trump doing? What’s he counting on? Does he think a more moderate Trump will be treated more fairly by a Demofascist MSM? Now that would be delusional and I don’t believe he thinks that.
Does the Deep State have him by the short hairs in some way? Even if they couldn’t find an unforgivable secret in his past, couldn’t they manufacture one? Do you think they could threaten his family business with a shipload of violations that would destroy his family and the fortune he built over his adult life? Wouldn’t that be enough to wobble his knees? If all of Obama’s plants in the intelligence agencies under the direction of, let’s say slimebag James Clapper, decided to tell Trump to conform or else, do you think he would fold?
Anybody have other possible Trump motives to offer, or even better, a well-supported answer to my question: What is Trump thinking?

“Pushed” by one of the Generals? A member, or members of the family? Inquiring minds want to know. Gorka was one of the few who defended Trump, 24/7. Is this why he had to go?

The book was brilliant because it told the truth. I’ve passed my copy on to a friend. Gorka was a powerful defender of Trump…….and was obviously hated by some “Insiders.” I fear that the pressure will now be taken off the Wisconsin Weasel and the Kentucky knight in tarnished armor……..two examples of Washington turds in the punchbowl.

Yes. I remember this event. The metal detectors were none of our business and their removal was not good for Israeli security. Sounds like the kind of thing Obama would have insisted on. Kushner has too much authority and obviously his advice (To Trump) supercedes that of Tillerson, the Sec/State. I sense that Tillerson is unhappy. He will probably resign out of frustration. He is a very capable, experienced executive. Trump will pay a heavy price for hiring family – be it direct family, or in-laws. Once hired, difficult to fire. If Trump did fire a family member, the fake news, leftist media would have a field day. I am afraid that Trump is listening to the globalist/K street/Chamber of Commerce/Club for Growth crowd. We will not see “Repeal and replace” of Obamacare. Maybe a little tinkering around the edges but definitely not the most important thing, Tort Reform. Also, no move to have Obamacare finally apply to Congress, just “Us folks.” To sum up: Repubs want to keep Obamacare and the Dems want Single (Govt. run) payer. Choose your poison. Tax reform? Dead in the water. Will not happen The Wisconsin Weasel and the useless McConnell will kick the can down the road. (Congress will only be working for 12 days in Sept. Not enough to get anything done.)Debt ceiling? Reconciliation? The usual nonsense. The Wall? Not going to happen. We have weaklings and Quislings in the Repub party who hate Trump enough to allow the country to suffer…McTraitor Graham, Flake, Collins, Alexander, Murkowski, etc., in the senate – led by Slimeball McConnell and in the House, many members led by the Wisconsin Weasel. Make America Great Again, as Gorka stated, is now just a saying, not a fact. ……….My Texas Senators, Cruz will continue the fight….Cornyn is useless. In the House, there are some good men like Louie Gohmert, who I would love to see as Speaker. Right now, I’m concerned with rain and flooding…..

Oh my. Stay safe. I was not aware of Tillerson’s left leanings. Not good news. When Trump was elected, we had hoped for Bolton to be Sec/State.
I remain a registered Republican…..which allows me to vote in the primaries. I have given ZERO to the party these past years………when they stop being Republicrats, I will consider opening the checkbook again. I am hoping and praying that Trump does not continue to get caught in the quicksand of globalism. If he goes, so goes the country. He is fighting a lonely battle. We cannot let the bad guys win. My wife always tells me that the most frightening words she hears are, “It can’t happen here.” Unfortunately, it already has…..Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals are slowly – in some cases, quickly – being woven into the fabric of America.
Stay clear of the smoke, if you can. We will pray for you and your little valley. Sounds like it must be a beautiful part of the country.
