The CIA is ramping up its counter-terrorism efforts, announcing its decision to send more military forces to Afghanistan in an effort to obliterate Taliban leaders.

According to The New York Times,  this is a massive decision for the CIA. During previous administrations, the federal agency was hesitant to supply additional troops to fight the Taliban, instead focusing on the threat from Al-Qaeda.

However, thanks to President Donald Trump’s leadership, the CIA is focusing on a more “aggressive” approach to fighting these terrorist enemies of the United States overseas.

“We can’t perform our mission if we’re not aggressive,” CIA Director Mike Pompeo said. “This is unforgiving, relentless. You pick the word. Every minute, we have to be focused on crushing our enemies.”

The Daily Caller reported that Trump spearheaded the effort to put more troops in Afghanistan.

In fact, it was after an August 21 address by the president that Secretary of Defense James Mattis announced that 3,000 additional troops would be sent to Afghanistan.

“The killers need to know they have nowhere to hide, that no place is beyond the reach of American might and American arms,” Trump said. “Retribution will be fast and powerful.”

Mattis also announced that the U.S. will drop a record number of bombs on the territory.

According to Fox News, the efforts will be led by small groups who call themselves “counter-terrorism pursuit teams.”

If it weren’t for President Donald Trump, none of this would be happening. He is ramping up the fight against terrorism in the fulfillment of his campaign promise. Thank you, Mr. President, for keeping our country safe.

Last week Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló completely dispelled any bogus notions that President Donald Trump and his administration have failed in their efforts to take care of the island’s 3.4 million residents following the devastation wrought by Hurricane Maria.

But he didn’t just dispel these rumors — most of them attributable to San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, a leftist hack and self-avowed “nasty” woman who’s been slamming the administration since day one — just once. He dispelled them numerous times.

During an appearance Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” for instance, Rosselló expressed his gratitude for all the Trump administration has done for Puerto Rico.

“The truth of the matter is, the president has responded,” he said, according to Newsmax. “He has responded to all of our petitions. I’ve had enormous access to the president and to his staff and they have done so quickly. We are very grateful for that and I wanted to answer truthfully.”

He added that he was especially appreciative of the Trump administration’s efforts to set up long-term solutions to the crisis in Puerto Rico.

“We had a great set of meetings in the White House,” he said. “We not only had the opportunity to speak with the president and vice president, but also to talk about the immediate, midterm, and long-term necessities for Puerto Rico.”

The governor echoed this sentiment at least two more times, including during an interview earlier in the week with the Independent Journal Review.

“The president has been very proactive in giving Puerto Rico what we’ve asked,” he said. “He issued pre-landfall emergency declarations. He declared Puerto Rico a disaster area pretty quickly with just a verbal petition on my part. Waived certain things from FEMA as well and also supported the $4.9 billion DERF component in the legislation.”

“So the people of Puerto Rico recognize that support and I personally am grateful that the White House has taken steps so that Puerto Rico can get out of the emergency and start rebuilding,” he added.

And during a news conference at the White House alongside the president Thursday, Rosselló again praised Trump and his administration.

“I want to thank you personally, Mr. President — you answered our call for the pre-land emergency declaration; you declared Puerto Rico a disaster area very quickly, at a verbal request that we made, because we didn’t have electricity at that moment; you gave us the waiver for A and B for FEMA; and staunch communication with all of your members now,” he said.

It’s sad that we have to dedicate an entire story to just highlighting the praise Trump and his administration have received from Rosselló, but this wouldn’t even be necessary had both Cruz and her buddies in the media not made it their lifelong mission to smear the president.

With the despicable rumors about Trump finally dispelled, however, we can now all focus on helping Puerto Rico. It’d be nice if Cruz would do the same, but she appears to be too busy talking to the media versus to actually help.

In an ironic embrace of the Second Amendment, a bunch of paranoid gays, lesbian and transgenders are getting weapons training to prepare for the day when President Donald Trump gives the order for them to all be rounded up and put into concentration camps.

Months of media and political fearmongering has driven the members of the Trigger Warning Queer & Trans Gun Club in Rochester, NY to take up arms for the inevitable shooting war with the white supremacists and Nazis that they have been brainwashed into believing have taken over the country.

The spread of liberal mental illness via Trump Derangement Syndrome has leftists increasingly looking to violence as a solution to political problems and this story should serve as a warning to conservatives and normal Americans that they have targets on their backs thanks to sore-loser Democrats.

Left to bear arms: LGBTQ gun club pushes back against extremists — and stereotypes. Story: https://t.co/FXbigZEnkk http://pic.twitter.com/lRZH3rwQi4

Via the Associated Press “In response to far right, LGBTQ gun group hits firing line”:

The former pacifist pumped a shotgun at the firing line.

Lore McSpadden never touched a gun before the Trigger Warning Queer & Trans Gun Club started this past year. Now McSpadden is among the shooters routinely yelling, “Pull!” and blasting at clay pigeons angling over a mowed field near Rochester.

Trigger Warning members are anxious about armed and organized extremists who seem increasingly emboldened. Their response has a touch of symmetry to it: They started a club to teach members how to take up arms.

“It’s a way to assert our strength,” said Jake Allen, 27, who helped form the group. “Often, queer people are thought of as being weak, as being defenseless, and I think in many ways this pushes back against that. And I want white supremacists and neo-Nazis to know that queer people are taking steps necessary to protect themselves.”

Trigger Warning members meet once a month to shoot still targets and saucer-shaped pigeons. The 18 dues-paying members are all LGBTQ, many just learning about guns.

“I identified as a pacifist really through most of my life,” said McSpadden, 37, who has attended a self-defense seminar and now owns a 20-gauge shotgun.

On a recent evening, their instructor showed novices how to pull a .22-caliber rifle snugly to their shoulders and how to aim slightly ahead of a moving target. Members cheered when shooters shattered a pigeon or hit a bull’s-eye.

The light mood belies the apprehension that led to group’s creation this past winter amid a year marked by politically tinged violence ranging from scuffles at protests to a violent clash of white supremacists and counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Zora Gussow recalls a dismal time earlier this year when she began talking to Allen about taking on “the gaping hole in the knowledge of people on the left” about firearms.

“I grew up afraid of guns,” Gussow said. “The first time I was near a gun in a house, it was of one of my friend’s, and I basically jumped back. And that feels dangerous to me in a society where there are so many guns.”

AND

So-called leftists see the country differently now than the days of Occupy Wall street six years ago, said Mark Bray, author of “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook” and a visiting scholar at Dartmouth College. Trump’s victory emboldened white supremacists, he said, and the threat is felt not just by the LGBTQ community, but people of color, immigrants, Jews and Muslims.

“Back then we were sitting in parks, twinkling our fingers and talking about economic inequality,” he said. “Now we’re talking about firearms and self-defense.”

That a major media organization like AP is promoting a story like this is a testament to not only the media’s role in creating an air of divisiveness and paranoia based on lies but also serves to make them into accomplices if and when these freaks decide to take the law into their own hands and start hunting their political enemies.

That the piece favorably quotes domestic terrorist Mark Bray speaks volumes as to what the agenda is and the media’s responsibility for encouraging violence, remember this guy was a guest of Chuck Todd on Meet the Press a few months back.
