Welcome to another Friday LinkSwarm!<\/p>\n

I’m still not wild about President Trump’s decision to strike a Syrian airfield with cruise missiles last night, but the decision makes more sense if you look at it less of a tool to make Bashar Assad mend his ways than as a warning shot across the bows of Ali Khamenei, Kim Jong-Un and Xi Jinping, the latter of whom President Trump just happened to be meeting with<\/a> while the missiles were hitting Shayrat. <\/p>\n

Now some links:<\/p>\n

  • “Conniving, spineless, duplicitous, misleading, double-crossing\u2014Chuck Schumer<\/a> is a fitting exemplar for the modern Democratic Party.” (Hat tip: Director Blue<\/a>.)\n
