'100+ days in office and its definitely been a mixed bag from Trump. Still, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with his action against Syria. A month on and the world did not descend into WW III. In fact, that region has probably edged closer to peace since. Irony abounds - this was perhaps Obama's greatest foreign policy failure. Obama's dithering encouraged a despotic, ruthless ruler locally and strengthened emperor Putin globally. This one action now, while not a solution in itself, seems to have stopped chemical attacks in their tracks. The reality is often peace doesn't happen unless war costs both sides. Added irony is that this is precisely the type of policy Hillary would have pursued and what Trump warned against doing in the past. Not to say that i'm a fan of Trump's wealth care, protectionism, anti-immigration etc. But I'm happy to accept this silver lining at least, even if it may have been partially intended to deflect attention from domestic woes. Perhaps there's more consistency here than many Trump supporters appreciate. Its the failure to stand up to Assad's murderous rule that has caused the waves of refugees that Trump is seeking to stem. After 6 years of this madness it was refreshing to see Assad finally pay a price.'

Yer fi'ed Deeaaan! More seriously, I watch CNN. Fox and other independent online news. I wish I had enough time to intellectually parse all the real issues but I have to deal with all the partisan political bull**** and I am a busy man....Blessings to you and family. On the way to tutor your neighbour...signed Mr. Rogers.
