Sounds as though someone is out to get him. If he had this mindset, why would he agree to join the Trump administration?

“according to multiple sources.”

NYT, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, WaPo, etc. so it must be true!

Short, simple and to the point.

I believe this report 100%. McMaster is a TERRIBLE choice, and one Trump may have been tricked into choosing. Watch his lecture to the War College. It is despicable. He says ISIS (he won’t even call it that! “Daesh” which the French and UK morons use) is using a “perversion” of Islam. This is OBAMA PROPAGANDA. Robert Spencer, Pam Gellar and Breitbart exposed this last week. I still can’t believe this moron is NSD.

Dr. Oz: EEG Brain Scans Reveal Fake News Threatens Your Health

Observer ^ | 2/23/17 | Dr. Mehmet Oz

Posted on 2/23/2017, 9:55:44 AM by Mozilla

Our show will spotlight a first-of-its-kind social experiment to identify the dangerous and disruptive effect of fake news on our brains. We had high profile fake news creator Jestin Coler craft two fictional stories: one designed to prey on liberals and another on conservatives.
Women read the articles, not knowing they were fake, as neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen gathered quantitative EEG assessments.

The findings supported results of a functional MRI study recently published in Nature Scientific Reports, which showed how challenging a person’s political beliefs could activate the parts of the brain associated with emotion and self-identity.

A self-described liberal woman in our social experiment reported feeling sad after reading a fictional article on illegal immigrants, but revealed stronger irritation and anger when processing a fake story about a jailed climate change researcher. Simultaneous changes in her brain activity were also much greater when processing the climate change story and correlated with a strong emotional response of angst and fear.

A conservative woman demonstrated opposite reactions. For her, the article on illegal immigration elicited changes in brain activity changes that you would see during a physical threat.

The women were not told that the articles were fake until they were seated on stage. What happened next was startling. First, the women understandably, but awkwardly, tried to defend why they believed the false stories, rather than expressing frustration that they had been duped. This natural human tendency was highlighted by one woman’s comment that while the news was fake, it reinforced a truth she felt about our country—so the piece was tolerable.

So protect your mental health by never watching ABCNNBCBS and Faux liberals.

Never read any article by the NY or LA Slimes, Compost, SF Gay Rhonical, WSJ supposedly about President Trump.

Then: Donate Monthly to Free Republic and don’t read posts labeled as Fake News or Not Even News. Let Trump drive the liberals and their mediots even more insane and depressed with his real news from Tweets and his controlled Press Conferences!

Become a monthly Donor to Free Republic and avoid Fake News and have better mental and physical health.

It's 100% true. Google "McMaster ISIS perversion" etc. The guy is an Obama appointee, and a Trump disaster. VERY bad for U.S. security.

Very few in America do.

That’s why we still allow them in, in spite of all the rhetoric.

If this is true, Trump may have appointed a closet Muslim.

Muslims who want to live peaceably with non-muslims are the religious radicals
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They are apostates who do not follow the example or the instructions of their prophet in their “holy” book which tell them to not befriend infidels and to kill them if they will not convert.

Muslims in name only. MINOs

Trump is over impressed with Generals, don’t know if he looks deep enough before he hires.

The President will learn soon enough that shiny stars are not a reliable indicator of character or mettle.

He will likely fire a few in the coming years.

Well, I am all for honing that cumbersome phrase down to a five-letter, two syllable word:

Islam.

If true, it is very clear, to me, why Flynn was targeted so intensely and succeeded and removing him. If true, this was a massive win for the enemies of USA and proper DC government.

If you cannot name the enemy, then quit spending trillions of dollars and hundreds/thousands of servicemen's arms, limbs and lives, _pretending_ to waging war against them.
