Five signs Trump’s campaign continues to fizzle The polls show a 20 point turn around from your posts last week and you think Trump is fizzling? DUH? No wonder you are HYSTERICAL today and posting drivel and nonsense nonstop. Take some time off to educate yourself and post something interesting or factual.

Zax, no worries, Bernie Sanders just endorsed Hillary. And in completely unrelated news, the wife of Bernie Sanders was just released from custody by unknown assailants. Tenchusatsu

Has Obama actually kept ANY promises he made? Defense Secretary: Expanded US Powers in Afghanistan Allow Action Against TalibanGen. Nicholson: New US Authority Used 'Almost Daily' by Jason Ditz, July 12, 2016 Print This \| Share This During a surprise visit to Afghanistan today, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter touted the massive expansion of the rule of engagement for US forces in the country, saying they will allow for “more efficient” support of the Afghan government in fighting the Taliban. The previous rules, which nominally marked the end of the Afghan War, restricted active US operations in Afghanistan, but mounting losses to the Taliban has left the insurgency with more land than any time since the 2001 US invasion, leading to the escalation. New US commander in Afghanistan Gen. Nicholson confirmed Carter’s comments, and said the new authority was used far more often than the Pentagon had previously admitted, insisting that troops used the authority “almost daily.” Nicholson insisted that defense operations in support of the Afghans had been picking up for 18 months at any rate, well before the new authority was granted, but that now the US could take on operations “more of an offensive nature.”
