1…………> Pro Assad Fighters Targeted: Syria


Over the weekend Syrian media reported that “Enemy missiles” hit several military outposts in northern Syria, including bases in Hama and Aleppo provinces late on Sunday evening.


Missile strikes on military sites in northern Syria overnight reportedly killed a number of pro-government fighters, including Iranians, but a UK-based monitoring group said four Syrians and 22 foreigners, mostly Iranians, died.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will issue a statement on Monday evening on a “significant development” regarding the nuclear deal between Western powers and Iran.

Iranian officials vowed to respond to that attack, and on Monday Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned the US that the “the time of hitting and running is gone”. “Now, if you hit, you will be hit back,” he said.

3…………> Meet Me At The Peace House: Trump

President Trump has suggested his planned meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un aka “Comrade Un” could take place at the Peace House on the border between North and South Korea, the same site as Mr. Kim’s historic meeting last week with South Korea’s President.

“Numerous countries are being considered for the MEETING, but would Peace House/Freedom House, on the Border of North & South Korea, be a more Representative, Important and Lasting site than a third party country? Just asking!” Mr. Trump tweeted.

Mr. Trump is expected to meet with Mr. Kim in weeks and said in an interview on Thursday that he was considering five locations for his summit with the North Korean leader, although he has said multiple times the talks may not happen.

The Peace House is in the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, on the border between the two countries.

A war between the North and the South ended in July 1953 in a truce rather than an official peace treaty, meaning the two countries are still technically at war.

Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to properly do their job at the Border because of ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws like Catch & Release. Getting more dangerous. “Caravans” coming. Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL!
