After Coptic massacre, Trump gives Egypt courage to blow out terrorist hellholes in Libya

After you read this, can you still make an intelligent argument that Obama was a better president than Trump?

Egypt launches strikes on Libya 'terror camps' after bus attack

. . . "In a message to US president Donald Trump, the Egyptian leader added: "You have said that your priority is to confront terrorism, and I trust you are capable of doing that."

"Mr Trump had earlier joined world leaders in denouncing the latest killing of Coptic Christians in Egypt.

"In a statement, the US president said: "The bloodletting of Christians must end, and all who aid their killers must be punished."

" 'Terrorists are engaged in a war against civilisation, and it is up to all who value life to confront and defeat this evil.' " . . .

American Thinker  "After the Palm Sunday massacre of Coptic Christians worshipping in Egypt, President Trump tweeted that he was confident that Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi would 'handle the terror attack properly.'

"He was right - Sisi did the right thing, blowing out terrorist hideouts in eastern Libya this week, following a second horrific terror attack against Egypt's Coptic Christians on a bus, killing 28 innocents. Egypt's military pilots not only blew the hell out of Derna, a frontier camp that shelters terrorists, and then released film footage of the act and the damage to celebrate the victory.

"It sends a message. It creates a new fear for terrorists who have up unitil now gotten away with it. It tells the losers the game is over.

We will not hesitate to protect our people from the evil," [Sisi] said in a televised speech on Friday.

"This is how it's done.

"It might not have happend had President Trump not only offered Sisi the support he deserved, he framed the issue in the only terms that spoke the truth.

"Terrorists are engaged in a war against civilization," Trump said in a statement issued by the White House. "This merciless slaughter of Christians in Egypt tears at our hearts and grieves our souls.

"Wherever innocent blood is spilled, a wound is inflicted upon humanity.

"But this attack also steels our resolve to bring nations together for the righteous purpose of crushing the evil organizations of terror – and exposing their depraved, twisted, and thuggish ideology.

"America also makes clear to its friends, allies, and partners that the treasured and historic Christian communities of the Middle East must be defended and protected," President Trump said. "The bloodletting of Christians must end, and all who aid their killers must be punished."

"Sisi himself said that Trump's support gave him courage, and RT News reports that those close to the matter say the U.S. probably provided intelligence on which targets to bomb.

“I direct my appeal to President Trump: I trust you, your word and your ability to make fighting global terror your primary task,”[Sisi] said.

"It's an appropriate response, and may be the beginnings of victory in the war on terror. What we are seeing here is resolve and willpower. The Sisi-Trump alliance may just take out a significant part of the terrorists' game plan. The U.S. [and Egypt] finally want to win."  By Monica Showalter

Do liberals not have a single clue as to world events and the effect of Obama's meekness on it all? Obama only had anger for America's allies and many other Americans. TD

The VA’s shame continues as probes confirm treatment delays weren’t a Mickey Mouse problem

Video at the link. But this is a video of Obama from eight years ago addressing the problems of the VA:

Circa  "With Memorial Day coming up, we take time to honor the members of our military, but a new report shows that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is still failing our service men and women. 

"When allegations first surfaced about long wait times for U.S. military veterans seeking treatment at Veterans Affairs medical facilities, the Obama administration sought to put the best spin on things. 

"President Obama himself suggested that, while embarrassing, the problems weren’t a matter of life and death. “The wait times were for folks who may have had chronic conditions, were seeking their next appointment but may have already received service. It was not necessarily a situation where they were calling for emergency services,” he said.
. . . 

"The problems included:

+18 of 25 sterile satellite storage areas for supplies were dirty;
+The facility lacked an effective inventory system for managing the availability of medical equipment and supplies;
+There was no system to ensure that supplies and equipment that were subject to patient safety recalls were not deployed on patients;
+The facility failed to fill numerous and critical open senior staff positions
