Iraq’s Assyrian Christian population is seeking to reclaim territory they have lost to the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS) since they overtook the region last summer and to create an autonomous region for themselves–in a free Kurdistan.

Pro-amnesty and anti-amnesty activists held separate demonstrations on Wednesday commemorating the one -year anniversary of protests that blocked buses of illegal immigrants from overcrowded Texas detention facilities from arriving at the Murrieta, California Border Patrol station. Many amnesty advocates singled out Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate and business tycoon, for criticism, along with anti-amnesty conservative author Ann Coulter.

The answer journalists wish to hear is “no,” because it is a way of excusing President Barack Obama for the predictable (and predicted) mess that transpired when he withdrew from Iraq.

While Hillary Clinton is given months to prepare for her ninth question from the press since declaring a candidacy, every Republican is peppered with heavy fire from a throng of journalists on an hourly basis.
