Last month American custom agents prevented entry into the country by the founder of the Syrian humanitarian group, White Helmets. He was set to receive a humanitarian award from InterAction, an NGO based in Washington, DC.

You wouldn't know it if you weren't paying close attention, but we have entered the largest military escalation since Obama's failed Afghan 'surge' in 2009-2010.

The latest Libyan government is based in a hotel in Tunisia because Libya was deemed too unsafe.

Remember the group that killed nearly 3,000 Americans? Remember the rage and anger, and the determination to make sure that we destroy the group to make sure that it never happens again?
There was no better example of Hillary's clueless hawkishness than this moment in the recent debate.
