Early on a mustache-twirling villain emerged as the face of the Trump White House. With the mannerisms of a pompous English B-movie baddy, Sebastian Gorka is to Donald Trump what the Sheriff of Nottingham was to King John. The malevolent sidekick.
Dr. Gorka styles himself as the crusading academic. A Kissinger for our troubled times. The brilliant scholar of terrorism who has taught at elite colleges and published groundbreaking research. He often reminds the imbeciles of the press that as a man of great learning only he truly comprehends the threat of Muslims.
But experts have listened to Gorka’s advocacy of the Muslim ban, attacks on the media and sterling defence of Trump’s “well-oiled’ administration and wondered how could such a well trained academic make such baseless and ignorant claims about topics he purports to be an expert on? In March he became embroiled in a remarkable spat with a Republican National Security consultant, Michael S. Smith. Gorka is flailing widely – tilting at enemies real and imagined.
I started digging and it didn’t take long to find out that Gorka is a fraud – a charlatan of the most brazen hue – a snake-oil salesman whose supposed Ph.D dissertation would have never passed muster in America or Britain and to put the cherry on the cake was approved by an fraudulent panel of examiners. The polar opposite of Lt. Gen H.R. McMasters’ celebrated dissertation awarded by UNC Chapel Hill.
Gorka is Hungarian-English. He gained an American passport in 2012. His nationalist parents fled to London from Budapest in 1956. His dissertation – Content and End-State-based Alteration in the Practice of Political Violence since the End of the Cold War: the difference between the terrorism of the Cold War and the terrorism of al Qaeda

RE: Does any of this means the gentleman is wrong?
Of course not. Does one have to have a Ph.D. to be right about an issue?
And speaking of credentials, how did Ben Rhodes, with a degree in creative writing, end up as Obama’s National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications, giving him the authority to lead secret negotiations with Cuba ?
True but it would be a pompous lawyer indeed who, with no other qualifications, would refer to himself as “doctor”.
Further, the switch from the LL.B. to the J.D. is a bit of a modern contrivance. At one point, US law schools universally awarded the LL.B. (a bachelor of laws). Harvard and Yale switched to the J.D. in the 60s / 70s.
And I say that with extreme prejudice since I have three real "Doctors" in my family: my brother-in-law who is an Oncologist, my niece who is an emergency room Doctor and a nephew who is a Thoracic Surgeon as compared to another jerk brother-in-law who tries to equate himself to the above three since he is a "PhD Psychologist".....He ain't no doctor!
I get equally pissed off when I see chiropractors with DC behind their names which stand for "Doctor of Chiropractic".....They ain't doctors either!
And how many alleged "climatologists" do you read about that have "PhD" behind their names? They ain't doctors either..........
Many of your so called "PhD's" will hire college kids to gather the information for their ultimate dissertations rather than do the time consuming research themselves.
As for Sebastian Gorka, I could not care less if he has a PhD or not. He knows what he is talking about and he puts his detractors to shame...........
The skiers and snow machine folks are in their glory this winter....there’s been a ton of snow to support those industries. Good for the economy.
All the trails are open at Killington...come on up!
Kushner has all of a sudden has become the architect of our immigration policy
He will shortly be shown to be the architect of the Israeli-Palestinian Peace Plan or whatever they are going to call it - it will have new Israeli borders is all that is currently known. Iraq has already rejected it, unless in includes return to ‘67 borders, right of return, all of Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital.
Whatever it contains will be announced after the Israeli elections. The Royal Javanka couple, being NY libs, will certainly find a way to screw Israel and force them to accept.

Beautiful photos, I’m just worried that they were taken in June!
You laugh.
When we bought this place about a year ago, and moved in, the the dead of winter, when the snow finally melted in June, we discovered we had a firepit in the yard.

Some info on Andrew Reynolds:
“Andrew Stephen Reynolds (born 21 May 1967) is a Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina, USA. Reynolds is a specialist in democratization, electoral system design, constitutional design, minority rights and ethnic conflict.
He graduated with a degree in political science from the University of East Anglia in 1998, an MA in South African politics from the University of Cape Town in 1992, and a PhD in Political Science from the University of California, San Diego in 1996”
Reynolds also appears to be closely tied to the U.N. based upon his bio in Wikipedia.

So, a “professor” at UNCheat, where they essentially treat their athletes as ignorant slaves (dumb coming in, dumb going out - fake classes will do that), tells us that Gorka shouldn’t be trusted?
LOL
I took a CPR class once and I identify as a doctor so I guess I could go into business.
I bet Andy believes a woman can have a penis. Ivy League Universities hand out PhDs in education like popcorn to the semi literate in the cause of diversity.

Not enough knees left to ski and down here in the Mid Atlantic golf season is looming. Nice to know there’s still some real America left close to the liberal ground zero metro complexes.
The editors and publishers at Haaretz are all islamo-marxists. They are trying to destroy the career of a man like Gorka because Gorka understands the danger of islam.
I call on all good Americans to treat Haaretz like the NY Slimes: not fit for picking up dog poop.
Yes, a Kushner “peace plan” for Israel would be a disaster. Thank goodness Bibi would never allow it. As far as I’m concerned, there is no need for a “peace plan”. Israel is currently at peace, a peace which is about a good as can be expected given the delusional psychotics which are her neighbors. Those neighbors will NEVER be satisfied until Israel is under complete muslim subjugation.
Isn't that the university that got caught faking global warming data or some such thing?
Climategate, 2009... hacked emails exposed the charade
(He probably carries around a big load of resentment for articulate straight men who verbally pulverize his most cherished false beliefs.)
