As Turkish troops roll into Northern Syria, attacking the Kurds, erstwhile U.S. alllies in the fight against ISIS, did President Trump’s chaotic approach to the growing conflict invite Turk aggression? Can you support President Trump, but oppose his approach to this conflict?
President Donald Trump’s move to disengage American troops from Northern Syria met with near-universal condemnation, including from Kurdish allies in the path of a potential Turkish invasion who feel his decision would betray them after years of fighting I.S.I.S. terrorists as a U.S. partner. Did the Commander in Chief just jeopardize U.S. interests elsewhere, or does moral leadership sometimes demand abandoning longstanding allies?

President Trump’s former National Security Adviser, John Bolton, says Trump’s dealings with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un benefit Mr. Kim more than the U.S.. In his first public remarks outside the White House, Politico reports that Bolton thinks the Trump focus on high-profile summits rewards Kim, but that North Korea will never honor any nuke deal.
Did Democrats fall into an impeachment trap with President Trump like Republicans did with President Bill Clinton, whose power and influence increased in the wake of their failure to convict and remove him from office? Can the Constitution survive the charade of using impeachment as Plan B when your party loses the election?
In another random act of kindness that alarms and shames Democrats, Scott Presler leads a couple hundred volunteers to clean up a massive, rat-infested, plague-ridden garbage pile in Los Angeles…for free.
Former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger shot Botham Jean after accidentally entering his apartment in what her attorney called a “series of horrible mistakes.” A Texas jury just convicted the white woman for the murder of the black man. How can we protect cops, and innocent citizens downrange, from the flaws of their human nature?

Kanye West suddenly shows up in Wyoming to lead a worship service, with a flash mob in tow, and a journalist doesn’t seem to catch who’s being worshiped: Kanye or Christ?
Saturday Night Live reportedly believed that comedian Shane Gillis would appeal to conservatives, so they hired him in a shameless play for a bigger audience going into the 45th season of the once-great sketch-comedy show. Then they fired Gillis within hours.
Teacher Melissa Barnett takes to Twitter and praises the dumping of classic books — including works by Orwell, Steinbeck and Vonnegut — to replace them with “relevant and culturally-diverse literature.”
Greta Thunsberg’s dramatic performance before the United Nations and the U.S. Congress raises disturbing questions about the Progressive use and abuse of children for political purposes. What possessed FoxNews to apologize for, and then ban, guest Michael Knowles of TheDailyWire.com, after he accurately mentioned that the teen Thunberg suffers mental illness. Et tu, FoxNews?

An objective observer would think the Democrat presidential candidates are committing electoral suicide after their performances in recent debates. On guns, climate, immigration, health care and more, they’ve staked out extreme Progressive positions which will dog their eventual nominee in the general election contest. Will even one candidate get off the Left-wing crazy train before it goes completely off the rails?
U.S.-led military coalition, with help from Iraqi Counter-Terrorism forces, carpet bombs what may be the last major concentration of ISIS fighters — the previously-dominant “Islamic State,” reduced to a desperate remnant, hiding on an island in the middle of a river. In seconds the ISIS refuge became an island of fire.
