JOHN GUANDOLO: When the Islamic world sees the American president call an Al Qaeda killer a “good guy,” engages in deals with 3 of the world’s leaders in the global Islamic Movement . . . , the Islamic world knows it must engage America more brutally and barbarically because that is what sharia—The Law of Jihad specifically—requires

Here's the Al Queda killer that Trump called "a good guy."

SYRIA

President Trump praised Syria President Ahmed al-Sharaa on Monday after the first-ever White House visit for a Damascus head of state — days after the US and United Nations removed sanctions on the onetime al Qaeda terrorist who formerly had a $10 million bounty on his head.

QATAR.  

from FOX News,
The deals Trump secured during his trip will see Doha and Washington participate in agreements worth $1.2 trillion, according to the White House. This is in addition to economic deals totaling $243.5 billion, which include the sale of American-made aircraft to Qatar Airways.

The White House also touted a defense deal that will "lock in Qatar’s procurement of state-of-the-art military equipment from two leading U.S. defense companies." The two countries also agreed to a multibillion-dollar agreement to strengthen their security partnership. 

And TURKEY

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump said on Thursday he believes Turkey will agree to his request to stop purchasing Russian oil and that he may lift U.S. sanctions on Ankara so it can buy advanced American F-35 jets.

Trump told reporters after his two hours of talks with Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan that their meeting was "very conclusive" on a variety of issues but offered no further details about an announcement he said would be made later.

Trump has been pressing European nations to stop purchases of Russian oil in exchange for his agreement to impose tough sanctions on Moscow to try to dry up funding for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

5 TIPS ON HOW TO BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE IN A HOSPITAL OR DOCTOR'S OFFICE

My advice?  Don't go to a hospital.  Ever.  I know you have insurance.  Still.  What do you think they're going to do in a hospital, rescue you, bring you back from the dead?  Medical protocols are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US.  Bite that one good and hard.  It's true.  Think of those times in your life that have gotten you through hard times, like injuries or serious illness.  What got you through?  What about those living in threatening climates like the Arctic, or Antarctica.  How did these tribes survive through Ice Ages?  Fat.  Fat and protein.  Do likewise.  Doctors don't know how to heal themselves.

If you don't have an advocate for yourself in the doctor's office or the hospital, the system will walk all over you. I'm going to give you some Insider tips that you probably haven't heard before.

TIP #1:  Always, always ask your doctor to put their answers and refusals in your chart.  If they say, "No, that test isn't necessary," you can respond with, "Okay, can you note in my chart that I requested it and it was denied?"  That one line now creates accountability.

TIP #2:  Slow down like a conveyor belt.  Doctors are rushed, and the system is built to rush you through. You can say, "I'm not ready to move on yet.  I have more questions," and that forces them to pause instead of rushing you out or into unwanted meds, tests, or procedures.

TIP #3:  Don't go alone. Always try to bring a second set of ears and eyes, a spouse, friend, even your phone recording with permission.  [You don't need permission in California.]  In high stress settings, like the emergency room, you'll miss details that they count on.

TIP #4:  Reframe the language.  When they say this is a standard protocol ask is this required or is it optional those words matter optional means you have a choice standard protocol doesn't always mean it's what's best for you.

TIP #5:  Ask about alternatives and risks. Don't stop at "What are we doing?"  Always ask, "What are the alternatives and what happens if I wait or do nothing?"  Doctors are trained to present the next step like it's some simple thing with no risk involved. But you deserve full informed consent and all of your options.  These aren't the typical surface level tips. These are ones that protect you from being rushed, silenced, or taken advantage of.  And I'll be sharing how to use the same strategies to advocate for your kids next.
