Obama’s HUD Secretary Warns Ben Carson to Support New York City Public Housing

By Will Bredderman
CHINA IN SYRIA In an alternate universe, instead of getting sandbagged by his own policy flubs and out-and-out personal weirdness, Dr. Ben Carson capitalized on his evangelical support in Iowa and general outsider appeal to become his party's 2016 presidential nominee. Presumably in that same universe China invaded Syria, because we pretty much can trace the downward trajectory of the retired neurosurgeon's campaign to the claim at the November 10, 2015 debate that such an astounding ground campaign was underway. "The Chinese are there," Carson informed the audience in Milwaukee. It seemed the good doctor but bad candidate was in possession of intelligence alien to every national security expert and agency, as well as to the White House itself. And who knows—maybe somewhere out there, on some parallel planet, some other China is planting its red flag in their world's Aleppo.
