   The House just passed a budget bill that includes funding for the wall. This after Trump made it clear he would not sign the previous bill.

   The swamp got a double whammy today – the announcement of withdrawing troops from Syria and border wall financing. This is going to hurt all those politicians who make money keeping the supply of cheap labour going and those who look after the companies that manufacture overpriced military hardware.

     McConnell earned his 30 pieces today by not going for a simple majority vote on the bill. Swamp rat is too mild a term.

   ‘Mattis was no good’

   also:
   ‘..This is a context in which the general’s letter of resignation is, to our ear, all too arch. The general writes that he has “strongly held” views on “treating allies with respect” and “being clear-eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors.” He also writes that we must “advance an international order that is most conducive to our security, prosperity and values.”..’

   There is no “international order that is most conducive to our security, prosperity and values.”
   Name one. It’s weasel words from a crypto-globalist.

     My father was right,”just because he was a good general,doesn’t mean he’ll make a good SECDEF”

     And as one radio host today pointed out-Trump wanted out of Syria,Mattis disagreed,never argue with the boss.

   Thomas Wictor at QuodVerum has an interesting take on Mattis resigning.

   “After seeing the new Website and the return to the former mission statement, I can say with 100 percent certainty that Mattis’s resignation letter is military deception, but more importantly, I can say that we’ve won all our wars.

   Mattis is a fighting general. He was actually ineligible for the job of Secretary of Defense. Congress had to waive the restriction that prevented him from serving. He fought several clandestine wars for two years, and now he enters the private sector.”

     “..but more importantly, I can say that we’ve won all our wars.”
     Not true.
     Syria will never be “won”, nor were Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. Attempted “nation building” at huge expense of lives and money hasn’t worked since WW2.
     And it worked in WW2 because the civilian recipients of the aid were at least halfway civilized to begin with, quite apart from the decisive military victories over their armies. The current rules of engagement don’t allow the necessary force to ensure winning.
