Trump barely understands the agenda at all, only that it's "his" team and he's their faux-leader. Flake's devotion to basic conservative tenets are far firmer than Trump's.

Now it’s a war on pipelines by Paul Driessen
*Efforts to block and sabotage pipelines hurt jobs, economic growth, middle class, human safety * The radical environmentalist war on fossil fuels has opened a new front: a war on pipelines. For years, activist zealots claimed the world was rapidly depleting its oil and natural gas supplies. The fracking revolution (horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing) obliterated that argument, by sending US oil and gas production to new heights. Indeed, it was record gas supplies and plummeting gas prices, combined with the Obama EPA war on coal, that closed down so many coal-fired powe... more »
West's "Kurdistan" Policy Not Adding Up
*October 23, 2017* (Ulson Gunnar - NEO) - On one hand, the United States is demanding that Iranian-backed militias "leave" Iraq, claiming the fight against the self-titled "Islamic State" (IS) is over. On the other hand, the US and its European partners are still funneling weapons, cash, direct military support and organizing training for Kurdish factions in Iraq's northern region to "beat back" IS. Additionally, US contractors are attempting to take control of Iraq's western highways connecting the nation to neighboring Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The contractors are to provide both... more »

One term that's getting people's goat is "separatists," which some see as a negative term, while others dislike the use of "rebellious", saying it is echoing the language used by the Spanish government and, therefore, not neutral. Many also strongly object to the language being used by the BBC about Carles Puigdemont, saying that terms like "... more »
