Today (5 September 2018) the reputable New York Times published an Op-Ed with the titled ‘I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration’. The Op-Ed piqued the interest of the blogmaster NOT because it exposes a kind of chaos swirling in the White House BUT that it was credited to an anonymous source. In a nutshell the vaunted traditional media admits it sees the benefit to protect its source by posting the Op-Ed under an anonymous byline.
I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration
I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.

The Times today is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed essay. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers. We invite you to submit a question about the essay or our vetting process here.President Trump is facing a test to his presidency unlike any faced by a modern American leader.It’s not just that the special counsel looms large. Or that the country is bitterly divided over Mr. Trump’s leadership. Or even that his party might well lose the House to an opposition hellbent on his downfall.The dilemma — which he does not fully grasp — is that many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.
If Trump is doing so well with the economy why is his popularity rating stuck at 36%?

“you try to paint me as a communist but cannot reconcile that with my day job teaching entrepreneurship or my record of being an entrepreneur.”
“Why and you taking Money from the Capitalist EU…Where you say the Million Dollars they recently sent you is being used to Further Entrepreneurial projects in the Region? Marxist do not believe in Free Enterprise…so who is Monitoring and Controlling that money…a Marxist?”

Thank you @PLT I started to excoriate the lies perpetuated by this charlatan @Freedom Crier and was taken away, now on return i see you have called the fibber to account. So not repeation of all of my comment as you captured the key points.
I’ll repeat this however: Mr Blogmaster one question bro…why do you allow this blogger Freedom Crier to continue daily to propogate FALSE, MISLEADING and often blatant LIES In furtherance of her views?… I enjoy the blog and the widely differing views that form a robust debate but this lying, cloaked in lazy self-checking is really beyond laughable…it’s inexcusable.
And add Her assertion that Trump was given this award for “contribution to inner city youth” at 10:02 is a full bore LIE. Steeupse!
And one more from my now eclipsed post: … Trump was NOT AWARDED for any inner city association with Blacks in any conjunction with Rosa Parks or Mohammed Ali…he received a lovely award from a business buddy….he was simply at an award ceremony where he took a group picture next too VERY FAMOUS people including Rosa Parks and ‘the greatest’ himself Mohammed Ali…….also in that group of famous faces but cropped out by the blogger were Jo’s DiMaggio (a Don Bradman of baseball for the uninitiated 🙃) and musician/impresssario Victor Borge.
It’s amazing or disturbing really the extent of the lies perpetuated to support a liar….what a charlatan!

You promised on a previous thread that you would visit and see how we work to develop entrepreneurship in Barbados and the Caribbean… I was just wondering what was taking you so long.
Your incoherent ravings about “Communist/ Socialist / Marxist/Socialist …NAMES ONLY CHANGE… ” clearly do not apply to me or the work I help do with funding from the EU and the Inter-American Development Bank… is it so hard to understand that an experienced entrepreneur is opposed to racism?
@Freedom Crier September 6, 2018 11:24 AM
“so who is Monitoring and Controlling that money…?”
++++++++++++++++++
Obviously the EU itself is monitoring the project that is spending their money. This is not like the civil service where your tax money simply disappears into a black hole of incompetence and deceit. We account for every penny.

Government’s role is to provide public sector services to public with income from tax payers and to regulate private sector to provide value to public.
It is not a major achievement for GOP to reduce tax and regulations in Corporations interests as Businesses are GOP sponsors.
Likewise Businesses moving it’s operations and money back from offshore to onshore with a softer GOP regime is par for course.

The economy has improved despite Trump’s best efforts to implode it, according to Woodward he was ready to tear up the Trade agreement with S Korea and NAFTA is still in the balance. He opted out of WTO and is now trying to get back in.
BTW destroying NAFTA will hurt both countries, he is already bailing out farmers with billions in aid as a result of his tariffs
Do not forget the fight he is itching to pick with China and Iran.

Kelly: Idiot & unhinged
Dowd: An effing liar
Mattis: 5th or 6th grader
Not to forget former Sec. of State Tillerson: moron

IN SUMMARY OF THIS DEBATE I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THE FOLLOWING ON THIS MATTER…
According to the author of this article, ‘TEE WHITE LIES’….“When Will Bajan’s Purge Themselves of White Supremacy?”
The Real Question is When will those people Wake Up from what they knew Fifty Years Ago.
Mr. Hall who owns Popular Supermarket Chain and Mr.Byneo who owns Carlton Mall Complex and the Six Roads Mall Complex are not white.
The Massy Group including Supermarkets are Not White there are Publicly Traded Companies.
The Largest Food Distribution Companies are Not White there are Publicly Traded Companies.
The Biggest Telecom Company in Barbados is Not White there are Publicly Traded Companies.
The Second Biggest Telecom Company in Barbados is Not White there are Publicly Traded Companies.
The Power Generation Company in Barbados is Not White there are Publicly Traded Companies.
The Chicken Growers are Not White.
The Majority of the Chicken Processing Industry in Barbados is Not White.
The News Papers in Barbados are Not White.
The Two Largest Fast Food Companies in Barbados are Not White.
Most Small Information Companies are Not White.
The Biggest land Owner in Barbados is the Government.
The Government of Barbados are Also involved in the Hotel Sector including the Hilton.
The Control of the Airport and the Seaport is by the Government.
They are no White Ministers in Government.
There is One White Policeman in Barbados and he is just a Policeman.
The Governor General, the Representative of the Queen is Not White.
The Prime Minister who won Every Seat in Parliament is Not White.
And one of the Largest So Called White Companies, the Owner is Married to a Black Lady and he gives Profit Sharing and Shares to his workers.
They are a Few So Called white owned Business in Barbados that do hire So Called white people but they also hire Nuff So Called Non-White people.
They are very Few So Called white people in Barbados, they might be white looking people, they might be light skinned people but Barbados has been long mixed up. Or are you one of those people from the US that are so in Love with Race and Race Baiting that you will refer to a Hispanic as a White Hispanic.
Mr.TEE WHITE LIES, I believe people Brand themselves and you have Branded yourself as ‘TELL LIES ON WHITES’.
Here is Something for you to Chew on TEE WHITE LIES, peterlawrencethompson & ILK…TAKE YOUR FILTHY HATE FILLED IDEAS ABOUT BARBADOS AND SHOVE THEM WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE!!

AFRAID TO ALLOW HIM TO SEE THE REAL SIDE OF YOU WITH THE ABUNDANCE OF YOUR RACIST SLURS?
“I’m a little late with this cartoon, which symbolizes Trump’s first year as president. It was a very successful year. Trump has brought jobs back to America. He appointed a conservative Supreme Court justice. He has turned away from bad trade deals and enforced of our borders while standing against illegal immigration. His tax-reducing bill is turning the economy around. He stopped taxpayer money from going toward the climate change bunk. He cut many of the ridiculous regulations that were hurting businesses. Most of all, Trump is systematically removing Obama’s legacy, which was the intentional destruction of America. Why was the criminal Obama bent on bringing down America? Why, to usher in communism and tyranny, of course.
One of our supporters in Florida suggested this idea. It’s based on something Obama said early in 2016. He contemptuously dismissed Trump’s plans and his ability to affect change. Challenging Trump outright, he asked “What magic wand do you have?” Hence my cartoon. Now Obama, always the narcissist, is audaciously claiming credit for the economic turnaround.
Trump still has a lot of work to do. Now we’re seeing just how corrupt and politicized the CIA, NSA and FBI have become. Obama did his best to destroy our nation and weaponize the security agencies in order to keep people such as Trump out of office. Obama, Hillary and many others need to be brought to justice. Let’s hope our president can continue to work his MAGA magic.”

I am not in favour of this anonymous person. What exactly has this person achieved? The chaos described has already been observed by all non-blind people. That this is a bipolar administration is already recognized. That Trump is amoral, stupid, uninformed etc. etc. etc. is already recognized. No anonymous person can sway any of Trump’s supporters. No anonymous person can make any Trump critic feel more secure.
Besides, the diseased pig is only the culmination of many centuries of malignancy in the US. When he is removed the deep-rooted problems will remain. America must face itself in ALL of its ugliness or it will never move forward.
