President Donald Trump has stirred up a hornet’s after he ordered an immediate pullout from northeastern Syria. Maybe he could have been a bit more diplomatic. But are a thousand U.S. troops really going to make any major difference in the chaos taking place in this part of the world?

On Friday, President Donald Trump’s campaign fired back against CNN, a left-wing network masquerading as the home of “excellence in journalism.” His attorney sent a four-page letter to the network pledging to sue for a “substantial payment of damages” for their history of biased coverage.

Governor John Bel Edwards’ quest for a first primary victory fell flat as several factors in the final days of the campaign caused his poll numbers to plummet. Now voters can look forward to a nasty runoff, with the airwaves filled with a boatload of negative TV and radio spots.
