According to Kurdish officials, US troops in the Syrian city of Manbij are setting up a new military base inside the city. The base is intended to house US troops as well as French troops that are presently in the city.

Manbij was captured by the YPG in a US-backed offensive. Turkey objected to this, on the grounds that Manbij is not a Kurdish city, and have demanded the Kurds leave. Turkey has repeatedly threatened to attack the city militarily, and has suggested they would target US and French troops if they are helping the Kurds in the city’s defense.   Continue reading “US Troops Create New Military Base in Syria, Despite Turkey Threatening to Attack”

Conroe, TX — After the shooting in a Parkland, Florida high school earlier this year, the entire nation is on edge and is taking steps to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Because authorities ignored the shooter’s threats, and essentially allowed the massacre to take place, police are being extra cautious now to ensure this does not happen again.

Since that fateful day, school children across the country have been arrested for threatening behavior. Now, however, a case out of Texas has many wondering if this reaction to fear is going to far as a 5th grade autistic student was arrested for “brandishing an imaginary rifle.”   Continue reading “Autistic 5th-Grader Handcuffed, Arrested for Playing With ‘Imaginary Gun’ at School”

On Tuesday, May 8, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States will be pulling out of the “Iran Nuclear Deal” which was struck under the Obama administration, a deal that he has repeatedly called a “bad deal” and even “the single worst deal I’ve ever seen drawn by anybody.”

“The so-called Iran deal was supposed to protect the United States and our allies from the lunacy of an Iranian nuclear bomb, a weapon that will only endanger the survival of the Iranian regime,” the President said. “In fact, the deal allowed Iran to continue enriching uranium and over time reach the brink of a nuclear breakout.”   Continue reading “Trump’s Pull Out Of Nuclear Deal Was Planned From The Beginning — One Step Closer To The “Path To Persia,” War With Iran”
