Full title: State Department lawyers removing references to ISIS 'genocide' against Christians, other religious minorities

The State Department's top lawyers are systematically removing the word "genocide" to describe the Islamic State's mass slaughter of Christians, Yazidis, and other ethnic minorities in Iraq and Syria from speeches before they are delivered and other official documents, according to human rights activists and attorneys familiar with the policies.

Additionally, Democratic senators are delaying confirmation of Mark Green, Trump's pick to head the U.S. Agency for International Development who has broad bipartisan support.

These efforts guarantee that Obama-era policies that worked to exclude Iraq's Christian and other minority religious populations from key U.S. aid programs remain in place, the activists said.

Are these hold overs? Why are they still there? Is Tillerson the one to clean house in that dept? or is it left to Trump? Someone is dropping that ball and if it’s Tillerson, he’s been on thin ice lately with reports that include him or not... so watching this guy..

Christians are just too independent.
Govt wants a welfare underclass.

Hide the Genocide of Christians. Govt funds the Genocide.

Trump may have to clear out Sessions and Tillerson and start over. They don’t seem to have the stomach for the fight that is required to root out the traitors and appeasers who have deep tentacles in Washington.

You know it is a tall order for a new comer like Trump to drain this resistant swamp. He was saddled with GOPe man (Rinse P) to hire all his staff and select cabinet members. It is turning out that their main loyalties are to the GOPe and not the President. The few good men and women whom Trump insisted come along, have been attacked mercilessly and many have been flushed or given up, e.g. Flynn, the several at the National Security Council whom McMaster has excused, and even Bannon, the last man standing, is about to be forced off the plank.

Trump needs help and support! Pray
