Many thoughtful and patriotic citizens entering the Kubler-Ross free-fire zone of desperate bargaining with reality are at work attempting to chart an orderly course around the Godzilla-like figure of Trump looming outside the desecrated once-shining city of American democracy. I doubt there is such an orderly way through this political bad weather. When storms hit, things break up.
In a speech to the annual policy conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC ), Hillary Clinton said that that American leaders needed to show loyalty to Israel and “anyone who doesn’t understand that has no business being our president.” Her criticism was aimed at Republican rival Donald Trump who is said to have a “neutral” stance on Israel. “America can’t ever be neutral when it comes to Israel’s security or survival,” she said.
Earlier this month in “GOP Leaders, Tech Execs Plot Against Trump At Secret NeoCon Island Meeting,” we discussed the American Enterprise Institute’s annual World Forum, an event held on Sea Island, Georgia.

US Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders will not be attending the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference, despite being the only Jewish candidate in the presidential race. The Democratic presidential hopeful is the only candidate out of both parties not to attend the well established annual meeting, where American leaders and potential leaders get to lay out their pro-Israel policies for potential support, at the expense of Palestinian people. Christian Today reports: Bernie Sanders announced his decision not to take part in the pro-Israel group’s conference on Friday.
