Let me show you the front page of the Washington Times. Obamas inaction on syria led to the iraq crisis. Here is what ben wolfgang reports. President obama is deepening the u. S. Engagement in iraq where he resisted similar calls in syria to intervene. An action that analysts and former diplomats say may have sewn the seeds of the iraqi conflict. Although former secretary of state Hillary Rodham clinton became the latest to slam the white houses handling of iraq, she backed off of those statements yesterday. Mrs. Clinton, republicans, many Foreign Policy analysts, and other critics say mr. Obama failed to contain in syria the Islamist Groups that mo

The old cds i would bring and i know that it was well received. It didnt necessarily bring peace but i recall in this lars trip and i wish i know you invited eric to come, the google guy. But he had real interaction with north korean students at this hightech school, this computer school. They treated him like a rock star. And i didnt see any hoss tilt there. I ventured over the years i ventured into weddings, out door weddings, restaurants, the subway. I love the subways there. You get in there and i never detected any hostility.

The hostility is at the government level, the military im sure towards us. But people to people, ive never detected that negotiatetivity. Ive got to say i did
Jeh johnson. Also, troern toe, london, paris and down under in auckland, cities around the world have come out to protest the death of george floyd. How did the american anger go global . And before the protests there was the pandemic and covid is killing africanamericans disproportionately. Harvards David Williams explains why. But first, heres my take ive not been one to argue that the United States under President Trump is on the verge of turning into a tyranny but it is clear that left of his own devices, trump would act with little regard to law, precedent or the constitution. As president hes shown a willingness to shut down investigations into his conduct, offer pardons to those whose lawbreaking he approves of, punish media organizations and social media platforms that, in his mind, are biased against him. Even many of his supporters will privately say, we need not worry about trump because his excesses are always checked. But the american system of checks and balances does not

However, the trump children and his soninlaw want him to take a safer pick, if you will, and take a closer look at mike pence. The indiana governor is reportedly also the top choice of trumps top adviser, paul manafort. All three have been in close contact, all three of those names on the list, in close contact with donald trump. I think hes giving it very careful consideration. And were humbled to be a part of that. There is a number of other noteworthy americans theyre considering. And im just honored to be on that list. Trump has got to decide, does he want a second person who is really as effective on television, or does he want somebody who is really good at reaching out on a personal basis to people, who, frankly, trump may not be able to reach on his own.
