The New York Times, as much as it pains them…
Yet, despite the dire predictions of major turmoil, and the best efforts of both Fatah and Hamas to mobilize the masses, so far there has been no large-scale, spontaneous outburst of violence in the wake of the president’s declaration.
The response has been more of a part-time simulation of an uprising, almost by appointment. A few thousand protesters have turned out at familiar friction points in the West Bank or along the Gaza border on the designated “Days of Rage” called for by the political factions. Other days, hardly anybody has shown up.
As Ms. Gump said to Forrest; “when it comes to Democrats the Sleaze is baked in or they are not Democrats”.

Nikki Haley Announces $285 Million Reduction to U.N. Funding
http://www.breitbart.com/jerusalem/2017/12/25/nikki-haley-announces-285-million-reduction-u-n-budget/
Haley’s statement comes after the U.N. voted to condemn the United States for President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The resolution, backed by nations with long records of extreme human rights abuses, passed 128-9 last Thursday. Haley immediately responded by threatening to reduce America’s U.N. funding.
The Saudis were / are completely on board with the recognition of Jerusalem as the Jewish capital.
The unintended consequence of Obama/Kerry capitulation to Iran.
Ah, the masses of the great unwashed…. You can never depend upon them when there’s mischief to be done.
The dreams of a Trump-fueled Benghazi are rapidly dissipating … somewhere in a darkened room, SHE is frantically calling in favors from HER Saudi donors.
Any protests probably organized by JugEars McFoodstamp and financed by Soros.
Well, enough to attempt spoiling Christmas for Christians there…which is probably the point, they hate Christians. Their religious book says Jesus is in hell boiling in human excrement.
2Jn 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
2Jn 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
2Jn 1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds

Jerusalem violence, rain put damper on Bethlehem Christmas
Crowds were thinner than previous years as visitors, especially Arab Christians living in Israel and the West Bank, appeared to be deterred by clashes that have broken out in recent weeks between Palestinian protesters and Israeli forces. Although there was no violence Sunday, Palestinian officials scaled back the celebrations in protest.
She, Nikki Haley (essentially – MY President) promised a response to the HATE-vote taken by the UN … and the reaction is SWIFT… and PUNISHING. Thank you, Mr. President! Winning!! Against all the LOSERS of the world. Let the UN borrow some $$ from Venezuela. …
Pence Haley 2020? Or vice versa?
“Nikki Haley Announces $285 Million Reduction to U.N. Funding”
That is good news and a good start.
Gord Tulk, that is also good news.
I’m still not clear on this $285M reduction. The headlines suggest it is the U.S. cutting back their contribution, which would be timely and awesome. But the text of some of the reports seem to indicate that the U.S. “negotiated” a reduction in the UN budget, without specific reference to the American contribution. All a bit fuzzy and consistent with the crap standards of current day “journalists.”
