Nashville Shooting Of Christians Shows Media Double Standard
After a Sudanese immigrant admitted as a refugee was confirmed as the triggerman who killed one parishioner and seriously injured seven others Sunday at a Nashville-area church, why isn't this being branded by the media as terrorism or a hate crime? With the target explicitly identified given its affiliation with Christianity, why is there a double standard compared to when events like this occur targeting other religions?

Charlottesville Votes To Remove Stonewall Jackson Statue
The city council in Charlottesville, Virginia has voted unanimously in favor of removing a statue of Confederate Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. The decision comes after protesters clashed in Charlottesville last month, resulting in the death of one protester. The council had previously voted on covering the statues from public view after being confronted by angry residents during a council meeting who shouted and cursed at the council following the violent clashes between white nationalists and counter protesters. Since then, the debate over Confederate monuments has created tension throughout the United States with groups demanding immediate removal of Confederate monuments. The city council in Charlottesville plans to relocate the monument of Stonewall Jackson to a location where the historical importance can remain preserved. One councilman spoke out saying that the display of Confederate monuments isn't relevant to preserving the history or culture of the United States. President Donald Trump has expressed agreement with residents in the South who believe Confederate monuments are important to American heritage.

It should further underscore the need for tougher measures to keep the unstable leader in check.

Terrorist Compensation Underscores Two Problems
With the announcement that the government of Canada will be compensating suspected and admitted terrorist Omar Khadr a sum totaling over $10 million, the controversy surrounding the decision highlights the problems on both sides.
Creating an unnerving precedent, the government of Canada has shown its desire for political correctness by the move. And with more known terrorists being held in places like Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, it opens the door for not only more use of taxpayer funds but also their return to extremist ways.
Conversely, with men and women of the US military charged with overseeing Gitmo and no end in site for the judicial process to begin to charge the remaining detainees, it warrants discussion about the future of those at the Naval Station.
Ultimately, it is the victims of their attacks who deserve to see justice served.

New Rules Of Engagement In Somalia A Good Thing
A recent change to Department of Defense rules of engagement for combat in Somalia is a step in the right direction to giving military boots on the ground the empowerment needed to make key decisions based on conditions on the ground.
With its war-torn state increasingly controlled by extremist groups, both home grown and offshoots of networks like al-Qa'ida, Somalia reflects a key piece in the game of chess taking place in the Horn of Africa. The ability to provide military support to the war-torn nation can help civilians get back on the road to stability.
With ISIS losing its battlefield advantage in places like Iraq and al-Qa'ida seeking a resurgence, achieving stability and stemming the rise of extremists originating there should be seen as a high priority.

North Korea Threatens Key Pacific Alliance
Escalations by North Korea in recent weeks have a key pacific alliance partnership in its crosshairs. With Japan and South Korea directly in its line of site, and the United States interests in the region as well as the long-term aspiration of nuclear capability to reach America, North Korea proves to be the desolate country that is just dangerous enough to warrant attention.
The challenge for this key alliance to all nation's involved will be showing restraint in the face of further antics by Kim Jong-Un while determining the best course of action to influence regime change in the dictator-led nation. Add to that China's might waiting in the wings and an unpredictable reaction, the task is tall, but the priority should be high.

Trump Changes Political Map
President Donald Trump's win in 2016 notably shifted the presidential map. For longtime Democrats, the perils of an altered presidential map became apparent the night of Trump’s victory in 2016. Politico reports Ed Rendell, a former governor of Pennsylvania and DNC chairman saying, “I never thought I’d live to see the day a Republican would carry Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania." This fact has the Democrats working hard to make sure the 2020 election is secured for their party.

New FBI Director Should Be Welcomed Change
The confirmation of new Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray should be a welcome development to all Americans. Given the tumultuous era the bureau has found itself in due in large part to politicization of its work at the top, rank and file special agents and the American public deserve a new leader to steady the ship.
