American policy in Syria has always been bizarre. Israel and Saudi Arabia (two of our claimed allies) wanted Assad gone. We trained and armed (at great expense to we the taxpayers) opposition groups that gravitated to ISIS. We sent ground military forces there to train opposition groups. The CIA did the same.

The elites learned a long time ago that the best way to make change was to control the educational system. Hence our Government run “Dewey” camps. They were willing to wait a generation or two and we’re seeing the results now. The American Bar Association is just one more member of the indoctrination team.…
Our Justice Department is trying to stop funding sanctuary cities. We knew the liberals would sue and they did. We also thought that the liberal district courts would rule in favor of the cites.
