It was Boris Johnson who's real name isn't Boris, it's actually "Al" as Peter Hitchens often points out , who has made an observation regarding the President of the United States.
The observation is simply that there is a "method to his madness".
Why broach the notion of four Democrats in Congress needing to return somewhere?
He used Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton or Barack Obama as foils to anger voters but these four have lousy polling numbers compared to Donald J. Trump.
Politics In Action.
Demonizing people also distracts emotions from the President's impotence in getting the millions in this country illegally out and from his potential signature on a bill to allow 300-thousand people from India to take tech jobs from Americans.
It has bipartisan support in Congress, its passed the House and now has to get through the Senate.
The opposing party is demonized at election time, the tried and true tactics of the GOP and the Democrats to mask their ultimately moderate policies. The moderate policies of the major parties that do not satisfy their core voters.
Use rage and anger in your core voters to distract from failure to deliver on authentic Conservative or Constitutional policy.
When is the budget being balanced in this country?
When are the prisoners being pardoned starting with Jerry Delemus, co-chair of the New Hampshire Veterans Coalition for Trump in 2016?
Plenty of justice waiting in connection with the wrongful prosecutions in Nevada over Bunkerville and over the Oregon Standoff as well.
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS STILL PROSECUTE, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PUNISHED FOR THEIR WRONGDOING. IN LAS VEGAS OR PORTLAND. THE POTUS PUT THE US ATTORNEY IN PORTLAND BILLY WILLIAMS THERE PERMANENTLY AFTER HE PROSECUTED AND PERSECUTED THE OREGON STANDOFF PARTICIPANTS.
I'm not a fan of anger and rage and trashing people and there's a story about a man forced to resign from his position as a Conservative Party local council member over in the UK.
Two things:
1. He called people on welfare in the UK "rotten pond life families that should be sterilized and washed".
2. He called for an experiment at the local council with gender neutral restrooms.
But its neither of the above that led to his resignation.
David Smith is accused of nine counts of sexual touching of a child.....The BBC has this story....

Getting back to reality the nation is deep in debt, too much spending going on and its been going on since the 1960's and for decades the USA has certainly been tied into nations with money in the Middle East.
During that first Gulf War, that Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm period.....The United States and other nations paid by the wealthy nations to provide military power, these wealthy Muslim nations.
And some interesting sidelights to the war included the Christmas carols being played on the armed forces radio without lyrics in 1989 and of course the prohibition on women entertainers at Christmas as well.
Islamic standards being adhered to in the days of President Bush 41.
Of course in the 1990's Bill Clinton came along continuing to pound at Saddam Hussein, the enemy of Saudi Arabia, from time to time symbolically it was argued by the GOP.
But Clinton would get the USA involved to help Muslims in Bosnia and Kosovo joining with military force in the end against Serbia.
Iraq dealt with decisively, the enemy of Saudi Arabia, following 9/11 committed by an organization led by a Saudi and with 15 of the 19 hijackers Saudi citizens. George W. in the lead.
And we go fast forward through all the wars from Libya to Syria to the tensions with Iran and yes Gulf Arab money involved and jihadists being bankrolled all the way and the USA and Western Europe leaning the Saudi way on those issues.
Barack Obama getting trashed for not being friendly enough or supportive enough of this agenda. Biden showed up first instead of Obama when the Saudi king died oh my!
Now the drama over Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar (Burma) and Mike Pompeo's latest blast at the government there over the treatment of its Muslim minority.
Myanmar says its fighting terrorism but the USA doesn't see it that way.
Read for yourself what Pompeo is saying and you read "ethnic cleansing" just like the 1990's in the Balkans being used in his statement.
MIKE POMPEO STATEMENT ON MYANMAR 'GROSS HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS ROHINGYA MUSLIMS
You read news stories you read about the Rohingya being Muslims. That is omitted in the State Department statement.
Reminds me that Glenn Beck took a swipe at the Myanmar government on his radio show Tuesday over treatment of Christians in that country. An attempt to draw everyone into this. Follow the money trail?
Who is the President of the United States right now? Is he the one who did the sword dance with the Saudi leaders in May of 2017?...

And yes the POTUS has been a consistent defender of doing business with Saudi Arabia no matter what. He talks about the billions sold to them.
SAUDI ARABIA AND ITS GULF ARAB NEIGHBORS IN THE HEART OF ISLAM AND THE AL QAEDA MOVEMENT HAVE MONEY AND THE UNITED STATES DOESN'T, THAT'S BOTTOM LINE REALITY AND DOES IT PLAY INTO THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE USA, TRADE POLICY ETC. ETC.?

Back with you and a Jeffrey Epstein segment. I'll try to keep the focus on information and you can take it and form your own conclusions.
One, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office trying to help Jeffrey Epstein. Under that plea deal in Florida he had to register as a sex offender in places he lived like New York.
The office of Manhattan DA trying to get Epstein registered as a lower level sex offender and a judge wondering why?
This story I saw for the first time today. It was published by CNN.
MANHATTAN DA ON SEX OFFENDER STATUS OF EPSTEIN
Another story like that one on the notion of Jeffrey Epstein being protected by people in high places...
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT KNEW ALL ABOUT THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN FLORIDA PLEA DEAL
And from Israel former Prime Minister Ehud Barak trying to campaign ahead of Israel's second general election this year on September 17th with the cloud of Jeffrey Epstein over him and his attempt to win seats for his new political party.
Barak wants people to know that he met with Epstein without women being present and he's reportedly going to launch a lawsuit against the UK's "Daily Mail" for implying he and Epstein were with women during their meetings.
But the story of Barak and Epstein and money is still on the table for sure. "Israel National News" earlier this week published this story with Barak's spin on his relationship with Epstein as expressed in an interview with "The Daily Beast".....
BARAK ADMITS VISITING EPSTEIN'S INFAMOUS PRIVATE ISLAND-ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS
Also from Israel Rabbi Rafi Peretz Minister of Education backing away from his comments last Saturday about gay conversion therapy. His comments called "unacceptable"by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Most of the story behind the paywall on the "Haaretz" website but you can get the gist of the backdown....

We are all in this together and the moderates and the wealthy and the tech giants and the D's and R's are not for us, We the People, if you will.
Manning was uncovering bad policy in the Iraq War, a war fought for Saudi Arabia, as I mentioned earlier.
I'm not here to diss those who serve our country. But by God can I diss the fact that our soldiers were turned into mercenaries for the Heartland of Islam and Al Qaeda as I see it pre and post- 9/11, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia et al......
In the here and now its terrorism the mastermind of the Mumbai terrorist attack 166 killed, 300 wounded arrested in Pakistan with praise from President Trump but it turns out Lindsey Graham is in the picture and the Pakistani Prime Minister getting the welcome mat in Washington next week raising eyebrows from India.
Hafiz Saeed finally arrested but able to roam freely for the last ten years without that happening to him. They knew where he was but didn't choose to arrest him and the "Times of India" offers its analysis.
INDIAN ANALYSIS OF TERRORIST MASTERMIND ARREST PRAISED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP
Moving on from India's concerns over that horrible terrorist attack and the need for justice over it President Trump next week will be dealing with the leader of the nation that created and runs the Taliban in Afghanistan. Pakistan facilitated the Taliban takeover which in turn provided Al Qaeda with its base of operations pre-9/11.
Peace talks under way with the Taliban involving a US representative and the Taliban talking face to face. Progress reported there in recent days.
Other here and now Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman sentenced by a federal judge in New York to life in prison plus 30 years. The Mexican drug boss being sent to a prison in Colorado reportedly.
The Hammonds being pursued by the environmentalists in Oregon and a judge granting a partial temporary restraining order to restrict their ability to graze on federal lands in eastern Oregon.
So much in that including the fact that the Hammonds are 'in the system' accepting federal control of the land as pointed out by the Bundy family who did so much to let the world know about their plight and change things and in forcing action to pardon them.
And God Bless the memory of LaVoy Finicum who gave his life so that the Hammonds would be free.
I'm reading the autobiography of the man who was at Dr. Martin Luther King's side during the Civil Rights Movement.
Reverend Ralph Abernathy wrote about how a President of the time, John F. Kennedy, dealt with the Civil Rights issue during the protests in Albany, Georgia in 1962 that ended up being a setback:
"So no sustained pressure forced President Kennedy to enter the fight on our behalf. He was able to do precisely what he had wanted to do all along: toss us a few rhetorical bones and concentrate on items more important to the New Frontier--like a tax cut to spur the economy."
It took the struggle at Birmingham to change things in 1963 and to get attention from political leaders including Donald J. Trump history teaches one must be willing to do what the Bundy's did in Nevada and Oregon. Stand up and take a stand for justice nonviolently breaking the law just like Martin Luther King and Ralph Abernathy did in their day.
