The Syrian Withdrawal
The place is a mess, and it does complicate China’s life for them to have to deal with it. My only concern is for the Kurds. But maybe they can cut a deal with Assad. And it is worth noting that Erdogan will be limited in his military ambitions by the need for maintenance of his NATO equipment.
[Mid-morning update]
The fate of the Kurds.
They really deserve their own country, but that never seems to be in the cards. Ignoring the Marxist PKK, they’re the only real allies, other than Israel, in the region.

A long read, but why Trump has Ukraine on the brain.

The pre-impeachment of Donald Trump never stopped.
[Noon update]
The curious case of the incurious press.
Adam Schiff
Was this the last straw?
There doesn’t ever seem to be a last straw with these swamp creatures. And Congresspeople can’t be impeached, but they can be expelled. If the Republicans retake the House, that should be one of their first orders of business.
The New Clerisy
Thoughts on the elites against western civilization who have ultimately given us a Donald Trump as our last hope.
Impeachment Comments
…that Democrats would rather you forget.
But that was different because shut up.

Rod Rosenstein, exposed.
I’m old enough to remember when he was a “Republican,” and a “straight shooter.”
Impeachment
It’s just another way for the Democrats to tear the country apart.

Jonathan Turley: If you want impeachment, find a quid for the pro quo.

Asteroid Hunting
Casey Dreier has an interesting history of how NASA finally got a decent budget to fulfill its planetary-defense mandate.
The Kavanaugh “scandal”
The other victim.
She’s lucky she wasn’t called a nut and a slut, as they were going to do with Lewinsky.
The asymmetry here is striking with these horrible people. In the case of Clinton, they were pressuring women to lie to protect a rapist. In this case, they pressured a woman to lie to falsely accuse a good man of being a rapist. In both cases, these people who (in some cases are the same people) hold themselves up as righteous paragons of virtue, though they are in fact monsters seeking nothing but power.
