The troll is sending 4000 more troops to Afghanistan, supposedly to train the Afghan army better. I expect that they will participate in the fighting, too.

This added support might push the Taliban back, but that effect will be only temporary.

To defeat the Taliban, better training for the Afghan army is not enough. Better artillery or air support is not enough. What's needed is better morale in the Afghan army, and really caring about victory.

The corrupt Afghan government is not likely ever to inspire such loyalty.

In the UK, officials often tell homeless immigrants their children can have housing if the parents give them up.

When the same officials are confronted about this, they deny it, but it's clear they are lying.

Many of these immigrants can get permission to live in the UK, after a lengthy process during which they have to starve on the street.

This is the standard Tory pattern of kicking weak people while they are down: rather than make a careful decision, seize any excuse to be harsh, and inflict cruel punishment.

Everyone: call for full pursuit of justice against the thugs involved in killing Jordan Edwards.

US citizens: sign this petition calling on Senate Republicans to show us their revised Dontcare bill.

Everyone: call on the Golden State Warriors sports team to refuse to visit the troll at the White House.

But they shouldn't simply stay away. They should hold a protest across the street!
