    So, will Bolton return to the UN?

    I hope not! At the moment he seems to be effectively corralled in the White House---he is no good on his own!

    That said, Ms Haley's pending departure is the loss of one of the brightest stars of this administration---Trump got it right when he nominated her to that post. We are lucky to have people of her caliber.

    I'm betting shes tried from working 20 hrs a day holding things together in the world. She will be hard to replace.

    Nobody worth a dime could stand being in the U.N. for more than 2 years.
    Her sentence has been served, she is being released for good behavior.

    I saw a good opinion article on her today in CNN and I tend to agree that neither her or her husband are particularly wealthy and they'll put one child through college and there have another one waiting I think it's time for her to go make some big money she can easily get a 7-figure salary with her resume and I think she might be wanting to strike while the iron is hot you know what I don't blame her one bit

    Doing something fruitful and fulfilling would certainly be a welcome change from hanging around the degenerates at the U.N.
    Personally, I am speculating she just did not like living with the $50,000 drapes that Samantha ordered and for which she got blamed.

    Interesting trivia that I would never have guessed - Haley's parents are originally from India.

    They are Sikhs. That should be enough said to explain her willingness to fight.

    Seems like I heard some rumors where they were trying to ruin her name back when she was running for office, they accused her of sleeping with her bodyguard or something. She won anyway and has been busy kicking ass and taking names ever since.

    Yeah, that's why I said "does" instead of "will".

    If elected, she would be the best lookin' president we've ever had.
