The food is an acquired taste, though.

And it's not just the Muslims themselves. There are sympathizers even among us. I had to completely stop talking with Daniel Peterson over this very issue.
One has to wonder how the former British occupiers are now being viewed in contrast to the Muslim invaders, especially seeing how aggressively the British went after the Muslims in India.
Conversely, seeing how today's Britain has practically nurtured Islam, maybe no one should look to them as an example of anything.

What do I make of this?
I'm not sure yet, but I'm disinclined to chalk this up to yet more plants as these two were both appointed by President Trump.
On the other hand, we've seen other members of the Trump team, such as Manafort, turn out to be deep-state plants, so you never know. Besides, Bob Mueller (deliberately?) exposed and removed those plants for DJT, but he's out of the picture now, so some other tactic would have had to be employed, and maybe this was it.
I'm sure we'll find out eventually, but, for now, I'm going to chalk this up to misaligned vision.
I've experienced this myself before, and from both sides.
I had someone working for me, many years ago, who turned out to interpret my 'do whatever it takes' approach to meeting the IT needs of other employees as installing whatever software they asked for, even pirated software.
I also worked for a psychopath (and I mean that literally) who subscribed to a leadership principle of fostering competition among his managers. This apparently required them going as far as to undermine, and even sabotage one another, and I 'just didn't get it', not that I would have cooperated with that anyway.
I got him to fire me in front of everyone in a meeting by challenging something he said. His own HR department intervened, offering me stay for another month, and letting me keep my $10,000 sign-on bonus, as long as I signed a non-disclosure agreement stating that I would not sue them, not even tell anyone else what happened, or how much they paid me. (And, as long as I don't tell you who that was, I'm still in compliance.)
So, this is sort of what I think is going on here. These two, Kristjen and Tex, either misunderstood what POTUS wanted them to do, or they just weren't good at doing it. Either way, when your boss has to do your job for you, you can bet it won't be your job for long.
What did Trump have to do for them?
Maybe hammer home a message that, unsurprisingly, yet still curiously, you won't see reported anywhere else:
I'm curious to see what Q has to say about it.

In brief:
Duckduckgo, Yahoo and Bing are more honest than Google.
Google has become the de facto arbiter of what is and isn't valid information.
Google is wielding that power to deliberately influence public discourse, and, thus, even election results.
By the way, Google was C_A born-n-raised, and you know how I feel about them. Good enough reason to avoid Google.
I feel that Duckduckgo is the best choice all around, and that for more reasons than just that they're more honest about what information is available than Google clearly is. Duckduckgo appears to not even filter your search results into what they think you might prefer to find based on past searches, which, of course, only reinforces confirmation bias. Yes, Google does that. Worse, if they don't like your bias, they'll try to 'correct' it. And they don't just do it on their search engine, they do it on youtube, too.

My wife can't forgive her. She wishes she hadn't seen the movie. It is truly distressing. But, I feel, it needs to be seen.
Afterward, my wife proclaimed that fighting abortion is her new mission in life.
Have I ever mentioned what a hard-core, loony-left, bleeding-heart liberal she was when I met her?
She's been shifting further and further to the right every year.

How do I know?
Because there are no black holes!
The entire concepts is sheer idiocy on the part of the mathemeticians.
A word on mathematics:
There are some things we just can't see. Yet. We created telescopes and microscopes to help our eyes see things they otherwise just could not see. And when visible light had taken us as far as we could go, we began developing other kinds of imaging devices. We have now cameras that can see ultra-violet, infra-red, radio waves, X-rays, and even magnetism. But things like sub-atomic particles still elude us.
So we had to get really clever.
Bubble chambers were able to reveal the presence of sub-atomic particles on the move, but tended to interfere with their behavior, affecting the experiments. Besides, even they had their limits, and we just flat run right out of tricks with which to make the invisible visible. And, visibility is, after all, essential to comprehension AND to prediction. You see, just as with a prophet, according to Joseph Smith, it's all about predictions. If a theory can not accurately predict, then, like a false prophet, it's a false theory. And, where science is concerned, it, too, is built line upon line, precept upon precept. But you have to be able to see those lines and precepts in action, or you don't know that they're correct. You're just shooting in the dark.
Enter mathematics.
If we can define something with a formula, an equation, then we can fill the variables with any values, and get a result.
Well, at least that's the theory.
As it turns out, the math itself is not as simple as 2+2=4. Some pretty exotic equations have been cobbled together by the mathemeticians, but, unfortunately, at some point, the only proof is ... you guessed it ... more equations.
We're really right back to throwing a dart at a board. Except that the mathemeticians are so utterly convinced of the infallibility of their craft that they've wandered completely off the path into believing in a complete fantasy world called String Theory.
All of 'mainstream science' (aka the Church of Orthodox Science), and all that goes with it, including black holes, the big bang theory, and accretion disks, is just so much wild guessing. And wrong guessing.
Now, near the bottom of this article (which is worth reading), you'll see an image of our star from its north pole. Look familiar? Sure it does. Because our star is a plasmoid, too.
But what, exactly, is a plasmoid?
Essentially it's a kind of a Z-pinch in a plasma stream, a Z-pinch with a compressive power on a sheer cosmic scale.
And it only makes sense that there would be one at the center of our galaxy.
