It's really hard trying to keep a " straight face ", whenever something otherwise minor and insignificant gets shoved to the top of the MSM agenda for the day.
President Trump retweeted links to some highly contentious video content which purported to show certain egregious acts perpetrated by islamic extremists.
Of and by themselves the video footage are not particularly informative and are singularly devoid of any semblance of gravitas and credibility.
Apparently Sharks have the ability to sense 1 globule of blood amid 25 million globules of water. It took no time at all for the full panoply of Corporate MSM and every social media platform under the sun to join in the feeding frenzy over what charitably might be described as the President's gaffe.
What exacerbated the whole incident was that Trump directed his initial tweet at the UK Prime Minister,after having initially tweeted the wrong Theresa May.There followed,quite naturally a response and of course POTUS then sent a rejoinder tweet.
It might be instructive at this juncture to note,perhaps even to make a not entirely attenuated historical analogy, that in 1913 ,the Daily Telegraph , in the midst of a persisting Anglo-German diplomatic hiatus, published an unexpurgated interview with Kaiser Wilhelm in which he was invited to give his considered opinions and insights into the British people. Oh boy...
These current miscreant videos and their tendentious content originated from a microscopically tiny,politically utterly peripheral and impotent cult like grouping with the adopted grandiose moniker of " Britain First ". Which of course elevates the entire imbroglio to unwarranted and undeserved heights of quasi-relevance.
Our nation's Intelligence and Security Services and their ten a penny agents provocateur harvested from the anonymous remnants of the likes of the BNP have provided us all with a hugely specious divertissement for which, I'm sure they will not be held to account.

The lamentable farrago over the UK's impending departure from the EU - aka the brexit negotiations - continues unabated.
The UK domestic Remain campaign/Referendum verdict deniers are currently in the midst of throwing the kitchen sink at Brexit.
Having already deployed the mendacious blackmail demands of the so-called " Divorce settlement " alongside the bogus lamentations and woefully insincere pleading of EU Citizens against the sensitive heartstrings of the May minority regime; the globalist plutocratic denizens of domestic metropolitan elitism and their Controllers in Brussels have now opened up a third front- that of the largely fictitious "problem" surrounding hypothetical difficulties envisaged around the Irish Border post- Brexit.
Why is the failing minority Dublin regime stirring the proverbial merde at this time? The Irish Times lends an insight into the lickspittle grovelling demeanour of the bankrupt,inconsequential grubby little Irish state's pathetic posturing- all as it happens at the behest of their lords and masters - das Deutsche Reich.
German parliament votes to back Irish debt restructuring
Social Democratic Party opposes move which will save exchequer estimated €150m
cting finance minister Peter Altmaier told the German parliament Ireland had fulfilled all conditions of its EU/IMF programme and was part of a rescue “success story” that included Spain and Portugal.
After a heated Bundestag debate, Germany voted yesterday to back Ireland’s request to restructure crisis-era loans and save the exchequer an estimated €150 million.
The request from Dublin turned into a proxy battle between Germany’s two leading parties, which are locked in a growing coalition battle.
Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) backed Ireland’s request, along with the Greens and the liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP), calling Ireland a model crisis country.
But the centre-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) voted against, calling on Dublin to adopt a “fairer tax policy” that prioritised its EU partners over multinationals.
In turn, the SPD’s critical stance saw Bundestag rivals accuse it of “playing politics” over Ireland – and EU rescue policies the party had backed in the past.
Motion
The heated debate ended with disagreement over the show-of-hands vote, prompting a full lobby vote that saw the motion passed by 348 to 283.
Dublin has applied to refinance an IMF loan, as well as two bilateral loans from Denmark and Sweden, using funds borrowed at lower rates from financial markets.
As Ireland has also borrowed €40.2 billion from two EU bailout facilities, all European Union states must agree to waive the right to get early repayment at the same time.
The Bundestag is one of a handful of European parliaments whose permission is required to change Ireland’s crisis-loan terms and allow early repayment. Elsewhere, the decision is made by government.
Acting finance minister Peter Altmaier told the German parliament that Ireland had fulfilled all conditions of its EU/IMF programme and was part of a rescue “success story” that included Spain and Portugal.
Ireland had restructured its banks and welfare system, won back trust of financial markets and was back in growth, he said, proving EU crisis measures had been appropriate.
Poison
Backing Dublin’s request and reducing the Irish debt burden, he said, would increase further market trust in “this small but important country”, and was thus in the interest of Irish and German taxpayers.
“I welcome today that I spoke with the Irish finance minister and he is ready to continue the technical co-operation and oversight with the IMF,” added Mr Altmaier. “This is in the interest of Ireland and will increase credibility in Irish politics.”
SPD parliamentary secretary Carsten Schneider attacked Ireland’s request, given its refusal to collect from Apple €13 billion in tax the European Commission says is outstanding.
“If a liberally minded country relinquishes tax revenues … then, for us in the SPD, our solidarity is at an end,” he said. “Tax dumping cannot be a business model in a social and progressive EU … it is poison for democracy.”
Mr Schneider suggested that Ireland had failed to honour two crisis-era promises to revisit its tax model and had “run the stop sign twice”.
Not everyone in Dr Merkel’s CDU had warm words for Ireland, with MP Hans Michelbach conceding that Ireland was a “tax haven and accessory for tax tricks of transnational concerns”.
“This is not acceptable,” he said. But, turning to Mr Schneider, he added: “You cannot use a mallet against another European country … and mix loan repayments with tax policy.”
Schadenfreude or what ? the Taigs sold out to the Huns.

Ceremony and tradition play the central role in the UK's parliamentary operations.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer's perfunctory fiscal state of the nation speech is and has been for quite a long time now just that; ceremonial. The same government policies could as easily be outlined in bullet -point form and then voted on without all the accompanying Barnum & Bailey hoo-ha.
The announcements are in any event of miniscule practical import and merely sustain that which is practically untenable.
Facts trump wishful thinking.And once the customary flim-flammery had been tossed to one side, the sober economic analyses zeroed in to what little meat there was on the bone.
The UK's GDP was still in the doldrums at the Financial Crash level of 2008 and wages are expected to continue in their parlous state for perhaps another decade.
The anti - democratic, referendum verdict denying, brexit-sabotaging majority of MPs used the Budget day contretemps to inveigh further against a pathetically weak and timid government and its miserable handling of the Brexit negotiations vis a vis the EU.
In all, it was a disappointing exposition of what ought to be a lively parliamentary democracy where the Parties first instinct should be fundamentally aligned to the demands of the UK's inalienable national sovereignty.
Fat chance of that.

Even in the depths of our uttermost despair,the faint rays of hope still flicker..
Several weeks have now passed since Merkel's ruling CDU/CSU regime suffered a significant reversal of fortune at the German Bundestag elections.
That damage was primarily inflicted by the emergence of the AfD who smashed their way into national federal contention with 12% of votes cast and the concomitant losses of the SPD who plummeted to a post-1945 electoral nadir.
All this left Frau Merkel floundering at a disadvantage in a morass of political,factional horse trading that was supposed to lead to the formation of a new and dynamically unstable governing coalition.Which the newly reinvigorated FDP then proceeded to spectacularly torpedo with all the acumen and elan of a U-Boot menacing a hospital ship.
For all the deserved vituperative mockery heaped on hapless,spineless ,creedless May for her doldrumesque clarion calls for a strong and stable government; Merkel careered spectacularly into the same briar patch with all the alacrity of a Panzer blasted off its caterpillar tracks.
Which is all rather fortuitous for the prospects of the Brexit negotiations,assuming of course that May's failed pantomime troupe actually do manage something more vigorous in their approach than a white flag as has been the case thus far.
Still,Merkel sinking and the Teutons floundering do send a welcome shudder of Schadenfreude throughout the spectating multitudes.

The following was gleaned from twitter -
Discussed with PM @theresa_may the calendar of #Brexit talks. Only if UK makes progress by early December, will I be ready to propose new guidelines on transition and future relations at December #EUCO.
The current UK withdrawal negotiations with the EU are predicated on three points being met before any negotiations on the future trading relations between the UK and EU can commence.
These three points relate to the status,( some might argue legally bogus in any event,but in the interests of brevity we'll let that pass for now,) of EU citizens sojourning in the UK; the status of the Irish border post-brexit and more substantially,the amount demanded by the EU as a " financial settlement " aka " Divorce Bill " in tabloid speak.
Tusk is to all intents and purposes a jumped up, strutting,venal,little tinpot fleamarket Pilsudski who has the audacity to be telling the UK what the EU expects from us!
And he's being allowed to get away with it pretty much in the same way as the EU as a whole has been getting away with it's treatment of and behaviour toward us for the past 45 years.
Tusk is President of what is officially designated the European Council.The European Council Presidency is one of five such presidencies within the EU. There is also President of the European Commission;currently held by a former wine salesman from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.Then there is the Presidency of the European Parliament that has a mafioso politician from Italy in its seat.Then there is the Presidency of the European Central Bank; run by another corrupt goombah,greaseball guinea.
And finally there is the six-monthly rotating EU Presidency that allows peripheral Teutonic satrapies such as Croatia and Latvia to wallow in the delusion that their homeland actually counts for a little more than nothing in the vast EU scheme of things.
And to this menagerie May is making us kowtow and pay respect to.
Unforgivable.

On Friday 13,November 2015 this happened in Paris ( gleaned from Reuter's online ).
NOVEMBER 14, 2015 / 12:06 AM / 2 YEARS AGO
France in shock after Islamist attacks kill 129
PARIS (Reuters) - French prosecutors said on Saturday that three coordinated teams of gunmen and suicide bombers carried out a wave of attacks across Paris that killed 129 people in what President Francois Hollande called an “act of war” by Islamic State.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two years on and ISIS/DAESH inspired/instigated Islamic Terrorism still runs rampant across western europe.
Two years on and a BBC News investigation uncovers the previously secret deal between ISIS/DAESH and the US /NATO led Syrian Democratic Forces.
An agreement allowing some 250 battle hardened islamic fanatics,their families and a 6 kilometers long truck convoy of weapons & sundry logistics to depart the city of Raqqa unmolested .
The day after the BBC News' journalistic coup is the news across MSM and social media platforms,what does tottering UK Prime Minister May choose to do?
That's right, launch an unbridled bellicose tirade against Russia and Putin's foreign policy.
Not the wisest, let alone most strategically savvy diplomatic thing any leader can do given the prevailing circumstances.
MI5 estimate, at least in public , that there are some 23,000 islamic extremists active within the UK of whom they consider 3,000 to pose an immediate threat.
And so Machiavelli May and her indolent,tawdry regime expend their energies to conspire with the other subservient satrapies of the Teutonic European Union in imposing,at the behest of their US masters, unlawful sanctions against named individual Russian citizens and organisations.
Supposedly in connection with Russia's actions regarding the existential crisis in the Crimea or some such peripheral matter of interest to the western kleptocracies.
In May's partially paralysed mind all the aforementioned is of a far greater and more urgent priority than the on going imbroglio ( or should that be farrago ) that is Syria.
Where the US and its european NATO satrapies embeded their armed forces on Syrian sovereign territory to bolster and maintain the anti-government Syrian Democratic Forces in contravention to accepted International Law.
As in fact did NATO member Turkey; but their in-theatre confederates are in active competition with the SDF.
And both those US/NATO backed lumpen aggregations of armed rabble are vying with ISIS/DAESH as well as the legitimate sovereign government of Syria and its international allies.
The city of Raqqa utterly flattened by US/NATO air force bombing, was subsequently faux-liberated by the SDF and the western MSM cheered it to the rafters!
And now we know why the SDF managed to stroll relatively unmolested into what had served as the ISIS/DAESH capital.
It's also worth noting, as if any of this actually mattered,that the US insists that it is inside Syria in accordance with International Law.
Good luck with that!

Remoaner metropolitan elitists are nothing if not brazen and calculating beyond the bounds of cyncism.
Their latest wheeze is to announce as loudly and screechingly as possible from within the confines of their own straitjackets, the egregiously moronic supposition that Article 50 can be reversed and or withdrawn.
For the excessively pig ignorant and monumentally indifferent , this snippet gleaned from The Daily Telegraph:-
Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon gives any EU member the right to quit unilaterally, and outlines the procedure for doing so. It gives the leaving country two years to negotiate an exit deal and once it's set in motion it can't be stopped except by unanimous consent of all member states.
The putative auteur of this Bonapartist shyster-speak sits in the British House of Lords and goes under the moniker Lord Kerr.
(Wayne) Kerr's forthright criticism of the ailing May regime's pronouncements on EU withdrawal, as being lies certainly lit up an otherwise dull morning across the vast echo chamber of MSM and social media.
For all their many faults and failings, the minority Tory regime has not uttered any falsehoods regarding the implementation of Article 50.
What the harbinger of this latest twisted Remoaner psychodrama is actually saying is that the government of the United Kingdom must declare the EU Referendum held on June 23 2016,null and void.That's how you terminate the Article 50 proceedings.
Prominent Remain OCD sufferers,such as Chuka Umunna ,Keir Starmer and Mary Creagh will be getting themselves so excited they'll end up doing what they've been doing on the Voters in their constituencies except this time only their beds will be getting wet and someone'll have to fetch the Nurse.
