Part of the small residual U.S. force that the Trump administration is keeping in Syria serves no real military purpose: “Al-Tanf has no obvious military purpose,” added Sam Heller of the International Crisis Group. “The real justification is, to … [Read More...]

Trump Fights Media Spin
President-elect Trump has a way of making Americans feel good again about their country, their future and themselves, and then the media spin comes along in an attempt to dilute that momentum. It is so obvious to the America people that every article the … [Read More...]

Jimmy Carter: Let’s face it, Trump didn’t really win the election

Trump’s Plunder Doctrine Comes to Syria
Part of the small residual U.S. force that the Trump administration is keeping in Syria serves no real military purpose: “Al-Tanf has no obvious military purpose,” added Sam Heller of the International Crisis Group. “The real justification is, to my knowledge, denying the Syrian government and its Iranian ally access to the neighboring al-Tanf/al-Walid border […]
With polls closing in Canada, Justin Trudeau is still in a dead heat (Update)
Today is election day in Canada and the first set of polls have already closed as I write this. It sounds as if Justin Trudeau’s future as Prime Minister is still hanging by a thread at the moment: Voting ended in Newfoundland and Labrador, which account for seven of the 338 seats in the House […]
Strib poll: Minnesota still has the blues, folks
Can Donald Trump flip Minnesota back to the GOP in a presidential election for the first time in nearly 50 years? Alas, as Hot Air’s resident Land-of-Ten-Thousand-Lakes observer, the task falls upon me to cast a little cold water on the idea, although perhaps not quite as much as today’s Star-Tribune poll suggests.

Hmmm: Buttigieg surges to within five points of lead in Iowa as Kamala Harris collapses
Ed mentioned this poll in passing in his Zuckerberg post earlier but it deserves its own thread. I’ve overlooked Buttigieg in writing about the primary because we (or at least I) tend to focus on national polls as the best rough measure of the race even though we (er, I) understand that there’s no national […]
Shocker: Alexa, Google apps letting hackers spy on you
If you’re using one of those digital assistants like Alexa, Cortana or Google Home, you’ve probably gotten used to the idea that they’re sometimes listening to you when they’re not supposed to.

El Chapo’s Amazing Victory
A guest poster on Claire Berlinski’s site says that we Americans ought to be paying a lot more attention to what’s happening in Mexico than we are doing. He points out that the retreat of the Mexican Army in the face of strong resistance from El Chapo’s forces in the city of Culiacan is a game […]
