Putin deja, Omar 911, Corbyn, Spying, Star Trek
In St. Petersburg, Putin offers a masterclass in Deza. The art of distraction and deception is one that Putin knows and loves to use.
Don’t rush to judgement on Ilhan Omar’s 9/11 comments. The congresswoman may have been trying to draw positive contrast between American Islam and al Qaeda.
Jeremy Corbyn fires another shot against America. The Labour Party leader is a liar and an anti-American fanatic.
Sorry James Comey, surveillance is spying. It’s an obvious truth evidenced by MI5’s own official website.
Instead of Star Wars, watch Star Trek TNG’s “The Wounded.” A defining episode that shows Star Trek at its best, “The Wounded” explored the harsh reality of war.

Sudan coup, Warren's economics, Assange extradition, Russian agent
Sudan coup is no silver bullet: the military leaders replacing Bashir are nearly as bad as him. Now the question is how the military addresses the protesters.
Elizabeth Warren outlines the next part of her plan to destroy the US economy. Warren’s 7 percent surcharge tax on US businesses is a recipe for capital annihilation.
Why Julian Assange won’t appear in a US courtroom any time soon. The English legal process governing extraditions is lethargic. Assange might avoid ending up on US soil.
The US should have charged Assange as a Russian agent who served the 2016 election attacks. Because he is.

Egypt Sisi, BBC Pakistan, Marines KIA
President Trump is smart to double down on Egypt’s Sisi. It’s about serving realist US interests along counter-terrorism, regional stability, and counter-Russian priorities.
Why is the BBC’s John Simpson selling Imran Khan’s deception? The Pakistani leader is full of bull excrement when he claims that India is to blame for current tensions. Simpson should have rejected his lies.
Remember the three Marines who gave their lives in Afghanistan last week. They represent a lineage of patriotic courage and the true ethos of a great Corps.

India attack, Israel election, Don Lemon, DHS
India’s latest terrorist attack reminds us that communist fanaticism endures. The attack by Maoist guerillas killed 5 people.
What Israel’s election means for America. The question of Gantz-Lapid or Netanyahu is an interesting one for American interests.
Don Lemon forgets AOC in saying that Trump might want to ban people having children. The congresswoman gets a free ride from the media.
How a former Delta Force officer would fix the DHS. Jim Reese wants to get lower ranking officials in front of the president.

Iran terrorism, entitlements immigration, Saddam's granddaughter, Hard Brexiteers
Iran just listed US forces in the Middle East as terrorists. The IRGC is upset over Trump’s designation of their terrorist activities.
Older Americans have a moral responsibility to support some legal immigration. Absent entitlement reform, calls for restricting all immigration are the ingredients for national bankruptcy.
Saddam Hussein’s granddaughter enters the looking glass. Her book ain’t history.
Why some hard Breixteers are so hateful towards Theresa May. They see the prime minister as a traitor against the national interest.

Trump threats, Peskov tantrums, book review
Trump keeps making threats he doesn’t follow thru on. The problem with this approach is that it weakens Trump’s credibility in future dealings.
Why Putin’s chief spokesman Dmitry Peskov just had a tantrum over statistics. Peskov doesn’t want Russians to see the dichotomy between his wealth and theirs.
A review of Breen’s “A force like no other.” The book considers the efforts of police officers in Northern Ireland during the troubles period.

Climate socialists, NATO utility, Chinese spies, Theresa May
Climate change activism has an all-too-socialist edge. We gained new evidence of this when the BBC reported on the reaction to a new carbon capture technology.
NATO works because it harnesses positive nationalism. The alliance matches mutual national interest to collective benefit.
At Mar-A-Lago, Xi Jinping reminds President Trump that he’s not a friend. The arrest of a Chinese intelligence agent-apparent is good evidence for Xi’s ambition.
I share Faisal Islam’s anger at “Theresa May’s a traitor” insults. The Conservative hardliners should have thought about their voting power before getting angry.

Kim + Putin, F-35 vs S-400, Taxes vs. sanity, Soft Brexit vs. Hard
For Kim Jong Un, it’s from Putin with love. The Russians want to cultivate Kim against the US.
Why the US had to deny Turkey its access to the F-35. The S-400 purchase Erdogan has already made would mean a grotesque risk to the F-35’s effectiveness.
The absurd complexity of tax filing. The US tax system remains a joke.
Why a soft Brexit just got more likely. The Prime Minister is pursuing support from a Labour that wants retained membership of the EU customs union.

Indo-Pacific command munitions, ISIS leader, AOC unpopularity, Taiwan, Facebook vs. free speech, Yellow vests
Trump must wake up his defense secretary and get Indo-Pacific command what it needs to fight and win. The important US military command is short of munitions.
Why ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is likely in Anbar province, Iraq. That locale would afford him the best means of evading detection.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is unpopular because her ideas are bad. It’s absurd to suggest that conservative reporting is to blame for her falling poll numbers.
Trump’s Taiwan policy requires a delicate dance of supporting Taipei and discouraging China’s use of force. Get the calculation wrong, and war or Chinese hegemony may follow.
Free speech, Mark Zuckerberg, and the founders enduring glory. The Facebook CEO’s effort to restrict global free speech illustrates the importance of the US constitution.
Are France’s yellow vest hardliners turning to terrorism? The detection of an unexploded bomb in Corsica, France, is suggestive of the yellow vests increasing extremism.
