Making the World Great, For Once

For John, BLUF:  Do you think the Nobel Committee would deny President Trump the Nobel Peace price just because he was being impeached.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Saudi crown prince shocks Islamists with bold moves in Egypt

From The American Thinker, 6 March 2018, by Mr Thomas Lifson.

Here is the lede:

It is hard to overstate the significance of a hugely symbolic move by the reformist crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman (MbS).  American media mostly are clueless about religion and lack any understanding of the momentous changes underway in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with the full support of the Trump administration.  The fact that MbS is reputed to be close to Jared Kushner seals the deal: the mainstream media have little interest in extolling the world-historical transition underway in the nation that is pre-eminent in Sunni Islam, the Guardian of the Holy Cities of Mecca and Medina, and which has been the moneybags for radical jihadists for three generations.

It is not necessarily because we have the Great Disrupter in the White House, but there is change in various locations, and with it a chance for a reduction in tensions and violence around the world.  In particular on the Korean Peninsula and in the Middle East.  Whatever President Trump, and his advisor, Jared Kushner, are doing, I hope it continues.
