    Days. It took just days for Assad to move into territory Trump made US troops abandon.

    Glad to see that President Trump is finally referring to the defeat of the “territorial caliphate,” rather than the defeat of ISIS. Yes the territorial caliphate in Iraq & Syria is 99% gone. No, that doesn’t mean ISIS, the terror group with members from 100 countries, is defeated

    More: "The other reason I’m here today is to personally thank you and every service member throughout this region for the near elimination of the ISIS territorial caliphate in Iraq and Syria. Two years ago, when I became president, they were a very dominant group...

    If you know even a little about how companies use personal data to make uncannily precise guesses about our future behavior, you know it would be child’s play to flag potential mass killers. They do it to sell soap flakes. They can do it to save lives.
