This killing in a “secular” nightclub in Istanbul came right on the heels of an Erdogan sponsored campaign instructing Turks that celebrating Christmas and New Year’s was not Islamic! Just more proof, on the heels of the Russian Ambassador being killed by a Turkish radical Islamic cop, that Erdogan’s dictatorial policies in his country are creating permanent chaos.

The fact that ISIS has not claimed responsibility and the fact that the killer escaped may indicate that he could have been a homegrown terrorist? Meanwhile, Dictator Erdogan, who already has a bought and paid for media, has issued a gag order on all reporting of this tragedy.

Meanwhile, the Sultan’s mouthpieces, who are not subject to the gag order, are blaming all the usual suspects: the U.S., the CIA, and Gulen. LOL

Erdogan is a dangerously stupid strongman.

Sadly, the oddest thing about this story is that it didn’t happen in the US.

Apparently KAC is headed to Buffalo to hold a $5000/person lunch to scare (literally) up money to pay the salaries of Trump’s transition team because he is just too rich to pay out of pocket. Apparently Rep. Collins thinks there are enough women in Buffalo who,want to hear KAC speak while eating rubbery chicken.

The Turkish government should contact the White House and they should ask President Obama if he would please close his eyes, tap his toes, and utter the words “Radical Islamic Terrorism.”

Once he does this, the shooter will immediately surrender to the authorities.

One needs to be careful in Texas:

As for the Istanbul shooter, I expect he is in Syria by now considering the two countries share a long border.
