Not even he himself is a manifestation of Christian virtues, but they feel like they’re involved in an existential struggle against a malicious enemy that they consider to be the American Left.

Schmidt, who worked on campaigns for George W. Bush, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and John McCain, told MSNBC that Haley’s claims that former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly were forming a coup against Trump are “not particularly credible,” but were indicative of her political aspirations. “She wants to be vice president,” Schmidt told host Willie Geist. Schmidt, who renounced his GOP membership in June 2018 in opposition to the Trump administration and Republicans’ unwavering support for it, also speculated that Haley is positioning herself in Trump’s good graces and would serve his interests well....

In the footage, the boxer, who is called Zoey Ann, can be seen shaking her docked tail as she stares out the window.

The film’s final section has Moore in the hottest water: he leads about eight rescue workers who became sick after 9/11 on a pilgrimage through old Havana, where they buy prescription drugs cheaply and receive free health care, courtesy of Cuba’s socialized medicine. Moore’s not-subtle message: why can’t these folks afford this kind of treatment back home?

This might mean hitting targets inside Russia proper, he said. “If they fire at us from any location, we will not hold back and will return fire regardless of where they are,” Haidai said....
