    Watch these cats play with tiny robots -- for science. Household pets have been difficult for this technology to "see," so the mission here is to learn to better detect the felines that live in people's homes.

    Coming after our Secretary of Defense...while we are a country at war...especially when it’s Mattis...is so bad for America (and our troops) on so many levels. Bad, bad, bad. I shared more last night on :

    When President Obama ingloriously fired Jim Mattis, I gave him a second chance. Some thought I shouldn’t, I thought I should. Interesting relationship-but I also gave all of the resources that he never really had. Allies are very important-but not when they take advantage of U.S.

    Brett McGurk, who I do not know, was appointed by President Obama in 2015. Was supposed to leave in February but he just resigned prior to leaving. Grandstander? The Fake News is making such a big deal about this nothing event!

    . earlier this month on the ISIS fight in Syria: “I think it’s fair to say Americans will remain on the ground after the physical defeat of the caliphate...it would be reckless if we were just to say, well, the physical caliphate is defeated so we can just leave now”

    . the Special Presidential Envoy for the fight against ISIS submitted his resignation Friday, a senior administration official tells because of President Trump’s decision to pull US troops out of Syria. McGurk had planned to leave in February 2019
