The Morning Report 4/7/17

Good morning, kids. Obviously, the death of Don Rickles has been knocked off the front page by PDT's mass cruise missile strike on a Syrian airbase in retaliation for Assad's use of chemical weapons. I'm of two minds of this. While we should in no way get involved in a full scale war there, the use of CW cannot be allowed to go unpunished. Obama's infamous "red line" basically forced the President's hand on this since the use of gas cannot be normalized. That said, while I gleefully cheer Assad, Putin, Iran and ISIS killing each other, it is marginally better to have Assad in power. The idiotic removal of Moammar Qaddafi is proof positive of my assertion. Aside from that, Neil Gorsuch will in all likelihood be confirmed today at around 6:00PM and while we were all distracted, the Seventh Circuit rewrote the Civil Rights Act. How thoughtful of them (*pukes*). Anyway, links from around the world, across the nation and up your street. Have a better one and remain blessed.
