Don’t look for this in the establishment propaganda media. It doesn’t fit their narrative. Don’t expect retractions, either, from all those who condemned Trump in stinging terms for his actions in Syria. “Military leader of Syrian Kurds thanked President Trump for cease-fire,” by Sophie Sanders, The BL, October 24, 2019: The military leader of the […]
The Kurds are paying a heavy price in this battle — but not because of a US betrayal
Kenneth Timmerman’s article below is eminently reasonable, and he is right: the political and media elites that are howling over Trump’s “betrayal” of the Kurds will keep howling no matter what evidence is presented in defense of the withdrawal, because “none of them truly care about the Kurds.” All they want is a stick they […]
Mexico “terror path proven” as jihadists infiltrate refugee stream and enter US
“Government watchdog Judicial Watch says more evidence has emerged that Middle East jihadists are entering the United States through the Mexican border.

Turkey agrees to cease-fire days after Erdogan said he would never agree to a cease-fire
The Leftist political and media elites were aghast at Trump’s letter to Erdogan, and heaped ridicule upon it. But it was really just standard American diplomacy: carrots and sticks. It was just phrased a bit more bluntly than diplomatic niceties usually allow. It is long past time for a fresh approach to diplomacy and a […]
General who issued groveling apology for alleged Qur’an desecration says Trump has blood on his hands over Kurds
Here is General Allen several years ago, issuing an embarrassing and groveling apology to “the noble people of Afghanistan” for an alleged desecration of the Qur’an by U.S. troops: General Allen clearly had no idea how weak and pusillanimous his repeated apologies in this video made him appear to many, if not most, of “the […]
Trump denounces Turkey’s incursion into Syria, imposes economic sanctions
This won’t be enough for those who are clamoring for the US to go to war with Turkey. All those who are claiming that Trump is under Erdogan’s thumb will keep on saying it. Meanwhile, there is no doubt that Turkey is an unreliable ally, and that the alliance should be ended, and Turkey should […]
President Trump announces $50 million in emergency aid to help Christians and other religious minorities in Syria
The question no one is addressing in the ongoing controversy over Trump and Syria is whether having American troops on the ground is really the best way to deal with the multiple problems the situation presents.

Contrary to media myth, Trump did not betray the Kurds
A bit of common sense and clear thinking amid the current hysteria, from Caroline Glick. “Trump did not betray the Kurds,” by Caroline B. Glick, Israel Hayom, October 11, 2019: The near-consensus view of US President Donald Trump’s decision to remove American special forces from the Syrian border with Turkey is that Trump is enabling […]
Kurdish authorities say 785 Islamic State prisoners attack guards and escape
President Trump suggests that the Kurds may have released them in order to get us involved: ….Kurds may be releasing some to get us involved. Easily recaptured by Turkey or European Nations from where many came, but they should move quickly. Big sanctions on Turkey coming! Do people really think we should go to war […]
Syrian Christians Proclaim “Trump is right on Syria”
Johny Messo, President of the World Council of Arameans (WCA; indigenous Syriac speaking Middle Eastern Christians), has written thoughtfully and sympathetically about Zionism as a (belated) prototype for “Arameanism,” though he guardedly refrains from “championing” Zionism, outright, today. Mr. Messo, nonetheless, does not appear to have imbibed in any way the vitriolic Antisemitic persuasions one […]
