On the other hand, Trumps Syrian misadventure is immoral, violates every promise he ran on, and could sink his presidency.

Left to his own devices, uncontaminated by Washington group-think, Trump gets it right.

Back in 2013, when President Obama was being egged on to attack Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack far more sweeping than this latest one, Trump tweeted:

Aug. 29, 2013:

What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval.

Aug. 31, 2013:

Be prepared, there is a small chance that our horrendous leadership could unknowingly lead us into World War III.

Sept. 1, 2013:

If the U.S. attacks Syria and hits the wrong targets, killing civilians, there will be worldwide hell to pay. Stay away and fix broken U.S.

On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly stated that he had no interest in starting World War III over Syria, saying, We have bigger problems than Assad. His policy position was: Let Syria and ISIS fight. I look at Assad and Assad looks better than the other side.

Trump was right on every point.

Assad is one of the least bad leaders in the entire Middle East. Hes not a murderous thug like Saddam, has no rape rooms, isnt into jihad, protects Christians, and is fighting ISIS. He provided us with intelligence on al-Qaida after 9/11. He does not have crazy Islamic police slapping women around or throwing gays off buildings. (That would be our beloved ally, Saudi Arabia.)

Trump was also correct about Assads opponents being far worse, containing large helpings of both ISIS and al-Qaida.

As awful as it was to see those dead children, Trump knew that Americas first duty is to our own children.

We have never succeeded at turning a Third World dictatorship into a paradise. The history of these things is that removing a Middle Eastern strongman always makes things worse for example, in Iran, Iraq, Libya, and Egypt.

We leap in, thinking were helping the poor devils under the thumb of a dictator and then the new tribe takes over and oppresses everyone else, usually much more brutally, while hating us even more than the old tribe did.

If voters wanted more Middle Eastern wars, there were plenty of other candidates offering that: Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Carly Fiorina, and Hillary Clinton, for example. And we must never forget Jeb! though it proved surprisingly easy to do so in 2016.

But we picked Trump.

While most of the left wailed about the return of Nazi Germany under Trump, savvier liberals saw his vulnerability: flattery. All we have to do is praise him! Youll be shocked at how easy it is.

And, boy, did they lay it on thick with the Syrian misadventure. No suckers bait was left on the floor. Cable news hosts gushed, Trump became president of the United States tonight! On MSNBC, Brian Williams called the bombing beautiful three times in less than a minute. Sen. Lindsey Graham (one of the women of the Senate, according to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg) compared Trump to Reagan. The New York Times headlined an article, On Syria Attack, Trumps Heart Came First.

My nightmare scenario: Trump and Jared watching TV together and high-fiving: DID YOU SEE THE NEWS! THEY LOVE YOU! All Trump had to do was pointlessly bomb another country, and it was as if a genie had granted his every wish.

Looking for some upside to this fiasco, desperate Trump supporters bleated that bombing Assad had sent a message to North Korea. Yes, the message is: The Washington establishment is determined to manipulate the president into launching counterproductive military strikes. Our enemies both foreign and domestic would be delighted to see our broken country further weaken itself with pointless wars.

Was America strengthened by the Iraq War? The apparently never-ending Afghanistan War? Vietnam? This is how great powers die, which is exactly what the left wants.

Administration policy was heading in the wrong direction at 90 mph, but thank God, Trump seems to have grabbed the steering wheel and hit the brakes. Notwithstanding the hopes and dreams of Clausewitzian military strategist Nikki Haley, we will not be engaging in regime change in Syria or starting World War III with Russia today.

We want the president of America back not the president of the world.

Ann Coulter: Lassie, Come Home - Breitbart News

North Korea is prepared to preempt any "reckless" military intervention from the United States under the "more vicious and more aggressive" President Trump, Vice Minister Han Song Ryol told The Associated Press in an interview published Friday.

"We've got a powerful nuclear deterrent already in our hands, and we certainly will not keep our arms crossed in the face of a U.S. preemptive strike," Han said. "Whatever comes from the U.S., we will cope with it. We are fully prepared to handle it."

His comments follow a Thursday report from NBC News citing unnamed senior intelligence officials who said the U.S. is prepared to launch a conventional attack, including American boots on the ground, on North Korea if the isolated nation conducts another nuclear weapons test. Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin, however, said "multiple senior defense officials" denied NBC's report, calling it "wildly wrong."

Such a test is expected as soon as this Saturday, April 15, when Pyonyang celebrates the birthday of Kim Il Sung, the founding president of the regime. Kim Jong Un, the founder's grandson and the current leader, has hinted a major new weapons test may be scheduled for that day. Last weekend, a U.S. Navy carrier strike group changed course and moved toward North Korea in what was understood to be a show of force against Pyongyang. Bonnie Kristian

Vladimir Putin may be having some buyers remorse when it comes to his decision to back Donald Trump in 2016.

Vladimir Putin has learned the same thing about Donald Trump that Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton [did.], crowed Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough. He is unpredictable.

Scarborough continued:

How fascinating that Vladimir Putin, if he thought he was going to influence politics in America, it hasnt turned out that way, he said. Other than hes got Ann Coulter on his side, so hes got that. But other than that, its not working out very well for Putin.

Wow, said fellow host MikaBrzezinski. perhaps in anticipation of this article.

Oh wait and Sean Hannity, hes got Sean Hannity on his side, Scarborough added for good measure.

The panel, which included show regulars, Richard Haas andWillie Geist expressed a general fascination with the swiftly souring relations between Trump and his Russian counterpart in the aftermath of the presidents recent airstrike against Syria.

This is not what [Putin]bargained for said.Haass.

I guess Seattledoesnt like Ann Coulter enough. She wouldnt mind us getting hit with a nuclear blast.

RELATED: Federal funding for Big One prep conceivably in jeopardy

In a tweet referencing comments from General Michael Hayden, who said North Korea may soon have the ability to launch a ballistic missile that could reach the general Seattle area, Coulter tweeted:

What!? Coulter told me at the Republican National Convention that she thinks Seattle loves her!

Rantz: Seattle is an incredibly progressive city and probably doesnt like you very much. I feel like it would be fantastic if you came out.

Coulter: They love me in Seattle. And if they dont, they would if they got to know me. I suppose if youre asking how to appeal to a liberal, this idea that Trump is some combination of Jesse Helms and Hitler, no he ought to be very appealing to swing voters and moderate voters. He isnt an extremist on all this stuff. Hes going to protect Americans. Thats considered extreme apparently.

They love you here, but youre willing to throw us in the path of a nuke? That hurts, Ann.

In February, students at theUniversity of California,Berkeley trashed and burned their campus and their cityin protest of outspoken, controversialconservative Milo Yiannopoulos.Yiannopoulos, an ardent President Trump supporter and former Breitbart writer, had faced tough crowds before, but because of the violent nature of the protests, the school was forced to cancel his appearance.

In the wake of the degrading behavior, Trumptweeted threateningly that Berkeley could stand to lose federal funds if it continues to bully conservative speakers.

A little arson does not scare Ann Coulter. A couple months after the mayhem, she is expected to speak at Berkeley.

TheBerkeley College Republicans, who are hosting Coulter on April 27, say this will be a "second test" for their school to determine whether the administrators are serious about protecting free speech.

These topics are especially relevant in light of the fact that Milo Yiannopoulos, who was slated to speak on these issues at UC Berkeley in February, was unable to do so because of violent riots perpetrated by students, anarchists, and so-called antifascists, he observed. Ms. Coulter's visit is a crucial second test of whether or not Berkeley really is the Home of the Free Speech Movement."

She knows exactly what she's up against,telling The Washington Examiner, in her trademark sarcastic tone,I hear theyre nice people at Berkeley and expect a pleasant event and stimulating exchange of ideas."

The topic will be illegal immigration.She is not expected to be politically correct.
