 Defense secretary Mark Esper  denied news reports that he was considering sending up to 14,000 more troops to the Middle East, but he acknowledged to reporters that he is worried by instability in Iraq and Iran.

In his speech, Esper made only a passing reference to Iran, citing Tehran’s “efforts to destabilize” the region.

He focused instead on shifting the U.S. military’s focus toward China and Russia — “today’s revisionist powers.” He accused Moscow and Beijing of seeking “veto power” over the economic and security decisions of smaller nations.

 Esper said he realizes that it will be difficult to move resources out of the Middle East to increase the focus on China and Russia.

Comment: 
Please shift  away from theMiddle East. We have done a lot of damage to the minorities in this part of the world.

Some of Biden’s biggest proposals from his immigration plan include reinstating the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program first created during the Obama Administration, working with Congress to create a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants currently in the United States, and reversing the Trump administration’s asylum policies that restrict the number of migrants seeking humanitarian refuge in the U.S.

The former vice president has faced scrutiny over his record on immigration as a member of the Obama administration, and the nearly 3 million people who were deported during their eight years in office.

Last month in South Carolina, Biden faced an extended protest during a town hall after he refused to commit to ending all deportations as president, instead pledging to prioritize deportations of those in the U.S. illegally who have committed felony crimes.

 kangaroo court is a court that ignores recognized standards of law or justice, and often carries little or no official standing in the territory within which it resides. 

The term may also apply to a court held by a legitimate judicial authority which intentionally disregards the court's legal or ethical obligations.

When asked about criticisms of  “the speed” of the House Democrats impeachment, Pelosi replied, “Speed? It’s been going on 22 months—two and a half years, actually.”

The United Kingdom has cleared the path to leave the European Union early next year after Boris Johnson's Conservative Party won a huge victory in the country's closely watched general election.

Britain went to the polls for the third time in five years to determine who the public wants to resolve the stalemate over Brexit.

While early polling suggested the Conservatives would win a narrow majority, in the end, the result was decisive.

The opposition Labour Party, meanwhile, only won 203 seats -- their worst electoral performance since 1935

Glitter...

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes, a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.^[1][2]

The Tip...

No one in the political arena is ignorant about where this ship will end up. However, it is a chance to be in front of a microphone telling a tall tale about something we don't care about.

It will end up badly for some.  Just a thought.
