Richard Stengel wrote:The meeting was really too big to accomplish much. In government, any meeting with more than a dozen people was mostly for show. This one turned out to be an everybody-stands-up-and-says-his-piece type of meeting. The folks sitting on the side were from State, the intelligence community, and the military. The military folks would stand up and ask a question. The intelligence folks would clarify a point with data. But when the State Department people would stand up, they’d always begin their questions or comments with the words “I think.”

General Allen was trying to do something often talked about in Washington but rarely done: he was attempting to organize a “whole of government” effort to degrade and destroy ISIS. I’d heard the phrase often. But the meeting illustrated how hard this was to accomplish: the different lines of effort were actually not hooked up. They were operating independently of each other and managed by people from different agencies and bureaus who felt ownership of their respective LOEs. Assembling our internal coalition was going to be just as complicated as putting together our external one.

About midway through the morning, the lieutenant general who was sitting next to me leaned over and whispered, “I know how to defeat ISIS.”
“Really!” I said, “How?”
“Get them involved in the interagency process.”
I did my best not to laugh out loud.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., is keeping quiet about his past relationship with a woman suspected of acting as a Chinese spy.

Axios reported that a Chinese national named Fang Fang or Christine Fang targeted up-and-coming local politicians, including Swalwell. Fang reportedly helped fundraise for Swalwell's 2014 campaign and helped place at least one intern in his office.In fact, a former intelligence official told Fox News the Chinese for years have sent spies to “sleep with lesser-known members of Congress and staffers.”

Fang's relationships with at least two Midwestern mayors turned sexual, according to Axios, with at least two incidents being caught by FBI surveillance. When asked about the nature of Swalwell's relationship with Fang, the Democratic congressman's office declined to comment.

RASPAD SAD? Najavljen referendum u Teksasu!

https://www.novosti.rs/planeta/svet/944186/raspad-sad-najavljen-referendum-teksasu

REPUBLIKANAC Kajl Bajderman najavio je da će uskoro predložiti donošenje zakona, kojim će biti otvorena vrata referenduma za otcepljenje Teksasa od Sjedinjenih Američkih Država.

- Federalna vlada je van kontrole i ne predstavlja vrednosti za koje se zalažu stanovnici Teksasa. Zbog toga predlažem zakon o referendumu - napisao je Bajderman na Fejsbuku.

Zastupnik u parlamentu Teksasa je, takođe, rekao da je ovaj predlog u skladu sa ustavom te države.

Dnevnik Morning star iz Dalasa tvrdi da ovo nije prvi put da se ovakva inicijativa pojavljuje u javnosti, ali navodi da nije sasvim jasno da li se Teksas legalno može odvojiti od ostatka SAD.

Demokrate su oštro kritikovale Bajdermenovu najavu, dovodeći u pitanje njegov patriotizam.
