A Q&A with former Navy Captain Jerry Hendrix on smart preparations the White House and Pentagon made for the looming storm.
But to look at the larger context of the entire relief operation, I decided to talk to someone whose experience rivals that of General Honore: retired Navy Captain Jerry Hendrix. Now a senior fellow with the Center for a New American Security, Hendrix served for decades both on the high seas and in high-level staff jobs, including with the Chief of Naval Operations’ Executive Panel and the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy’s Irregular Warfare Quadrennial Defense Review. Few people know more about military history than Hendrix, who has degrees from Purdue, Harvard, the Naval Postgraduate School and a Ph.D. from Kings College in London. Little wonder that in 2012 was named the service’s director of naval history.
DDR skriver (fra Ritzau): “10 dage efter orkan knuste stor del af amerikanske Puerto Rico, venter man på hjælp. Vi dør, siger borgmester.”
Den amerikanske ø Puerto Rico, som blev ramt af store ødelæggelser under den seneste orkan Maria, føler sig glemt af præsident Donald Trump.
Vi dør her, og jeg kan ikke begribe selve tanken om, at den største nation i verden ikke kan finde ud, hvordan transporten skal foregå til en lille ø, har det lydt vredt fra borgmesteren i San Juan – Puerto Ricos hovedstad – Carmen Yulin.
Bemærk hvad der står bag hende.
Hun har i dagevis opfordret USA’s føderale myndigheder til at komme de 3,4 millioner amerikanske medborgere på den caribiske ø til undsætning i højere tempo end hidtil.
Bemærk at Ritzau skriver, at borgmesteren ‘opfordrer’ og ‘appellerer’, mens Trump ‘anklager’ og ‘hævder’ mens han spiller golf. Samtidig ‘glemmer’ DR at gøre opmærksom på, at den gode borgmester er officiel Trump-hader.
Ist die Medienlandschaft wirklich unabhängig? Oder wird die Berichterstattung auch hierzulande durch die Politik gelenkt? In der neuen „Wochenblick“-Dokumentation kommen auch ehemalige Mainstream-Journalisten zu Wort, die über die Praxis in der heimischen Medienlandschaft sprechen.
Most of the top political polls that got the 2016 presidential race dead wrong are continuing to use a flawed methodology in rating President Trump’s approval ratings that favors Democrats, women and younger voters, according to a new analysis.
The report from Bombthrowers.com shows, that the mainstream polls oversample an average of 29 percent more Democrats than Republicans and the results skew anti-Trump. The result is that it robs Trump of about 8 points in his approval ratings, from 46 percent to 38 percent, it said. The Economist poll was the worst.
“Not only does it affect [Trump’s] job rating and favorable rating, it also affects the policies and issues these polls purport to measure. Maybe this is why so many Republicans, Independents and Trump voters seem to disregard media polls. It appears the media is once again sacrificing its credibility for its liberal, anti-Trump bias,” said the pollster.
As the national anthem rang out at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, neither the Tennessee Titans nor the Seattle Seahawks were out on the field.
Earlier in the day in Chicago, all but one of the Pittsburgh Steelers remained in the locker room during the anthem ahead of their game against the Bears.
Flere og flere amerikanere fravælger fodboldturneringen, og reklameindtægterne falder.
DanMarx Radio sender et manipulerende indslag på P1 Morgen den 26.9.2017, der bliver brugt som anti-Trump propaganda.
“So this particular talking point we are hearing in defense of spoiled millionaires, who only work 16 days a year, but who still feel they must spit on the American flag and anthem, this nonsense about how in America, you have the right to express yourself at work, is nothing less than a massive pile of crap — a total and complete lie in defense of the indefensible.”
