Syria withdrawal and a media that cried ‘wolf’ – Washington Examiner
When the Trump White House revoked one of CNN’s nearly 50 permanent press passes, many Washington reporters reacted as if Trump had unilaterally revoked the First Amendment. When Trump dumped a box of fish food in a Japanese fish pond, Twitter exploded with journalists’ lamentations about his gaucheness (before everyone realized he was following the lead of Japan’s prime minister). Repeatedly, when Trump blocked 11th-hour regulations issued by his predecessor,…
It’s beginning to look a lot like a government shutdown – Washington Examiner
Looking at where things stand ahead of a midnight Friday deadline, all signs are pointing to a partial government shutdown. Typically, when trying to assess outcomes of Congressional standoffs, it’s best to look past some of the details and consider the bottom line political motivations and incentives for the key players. Right now, we’re in a situation in which the Republican-controlled Senate passed a bill to temporarily keep government open…
Jim Mattis’ resignation is a terrible loss to America and our allies – Washington Examiner

In his resignation letter, Mattis noted that Trump deserves a defense secretary who is in closer alignment with his own views. While Mattis’ letter pointed out the…

WASHINGTON — The House passed a stopgap measure Thursday night to fund the government that includes $5 billion for a border wall sought by President Donald Trump.

Putin Welcomes U.S. Withdrawal From Syria as ‘Correct’ – The New York Times
Mr. Putin reiterated the Kremlin position that American forces have no legal right to be in Syria, in that they were neither invited by Damascus, as the Russian forces were, nor authorized by the United Nations Security Council. The American decision to withdraw represented at least a tactical victory for Mr. Putin, who intervened in Syria in September 2015 with the primary goal of re-establishing Russia as a power to…
