Donald Trump, according to a CNN investigative report published Sunday [Dec. 23], made his announcement that he would order a full withdrawal of the United States military forces from Syria after a phone call with Turkey's President Recep Erdogan, in which the Turkish strongman repeatedly peppered trump with what he said were reasons the U.S. troops should leave, prompting Trump to simply declare, "OK, it's all yours. We are done."

While Erdogan reportedly promised Trump that Turkish troops would "finish off" the ISIS fighters in the region. in fact, according to the Israeli newspaper "Haaretz," Erdogan's true motivation was to attack and subjugate the Kurdish population near the Turkish-Syrian border.

The Kurds there have been staunch U.S. allies in the war against ISIS and have scored many of the most significant battlefield victories against the terror group that had attempted to establish it's own Islamic "caliphate" within Syria.

Know any good Christmas jokes?

It was Christmas Eve at the meat counter and a woman was anxiously picking over the last few remaining turkeys in the hope of finding a large one.
In desperation, she called over one of the butchers and said:
"Excuse me. Do these turkeys get any bigger?"
"No madam," he replied, "They're all dead."

Senators voice confusion over Trump's border wall position

The Hill
December 18, 2018


In the crucial days before a deadline for funding the government, senators on Capital Hill are expressing confusion over the White House's position on including border wall funding in a spending bill.

"We're all trying to interpret the comments made by Sarah Sanders," Democratic Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen said Tuesday of the White House press secretary.

Sanders on Fox News earlier in the day said there are "other ways to get that $5 billion" that President Trump has requested to be included in a spending bill under negotiation.
She later said during a press briefing that the president had asked all Cabinet agencies to find additional funds that could be used to build the wall, as an alternative option.

Democratic Sen. Chris Coons (Del.) - a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee - said he needed more details on the White House plan but warned that the president doesn't have the authority to move billions of dollars around.
