Far-right group warning of Islamist infiltration to hold banquet at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club

A far-right group that believes Islamists are infiltrating the U.S. government will hold a banquet Saturday night at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club, according to a permit issued for the event.

The group, the Center for Security Policy, has also spread the false idea that former president Barack Obama is a Muslim and alleged that mainstream Muslim organizations in the United States are secretly agents of anti-American jihad.

How dumb. It’ll never happen. They don’t golf and don’t tip well.

It’s an opinion piece at best. Trump has nothing to do with them being there, yet whose picture is at the top of the page?

I didn't read the article but I'm curious - you need a permit to have a banquet in Florida? You need permission for a dinner?

It's almost like Trump owns it and has it listed as his primary residence.

The permit might be needed because of it officially being a Presidential Residence.

So what else would people need permission to do there? Swim, or play golf? And permission from who?

"Permission" from the Secret Service, which has to maintain tight security protocols at the property.

Have a source for that?

As much as I dislike Trump, the fact that a venue that he happens to own was rented out by a group with some slightly exaggerated notions pertaining to Islam isn't necessarily a reflection of him.

Granted, he hasn't particularly gone out of his way to repudiate the support of extreme groups like that, and that's an issue...

...but, in this particular scenario, the left's position on the matters of "business owners don't have the right to deny service to those they disagree with" may have given Trump an "easy-out" of owning responsibility for this one.

Proves once again it was better in the old days.

When I owned a bicycle shop I could refuse service to anyone I wished. Never came into effect but,
I kept it handy.

I've seen several clowns these days severely disrespecting one's working in businesses. They should be tossed out and refused service.
