Taking it from the top and as noted:

Trump officials tied to Nunes’s reports Two White House officials helped provide Rep. Devin Nunes with the intelligence reports that showed that President Trump and his associates were incidentally swept up in foreign surveillance.
What does that have to with issue of spying on campaign and transition and the evidence of "incidental" collection? The headline infers that something untoward and nefarious is going and I'm already predisposed to not read it. Trump tweets about the campaign and transition spying was a broadside to put down the Obama-led destabilization protests with the sub narrative for impeachment now being provided through controlled intelligence via committees. Nunes is a good guy that is standing in the way, thus the effort to remove him or set up a special select cover-up or frame-up committee.

That article was in the World section of my printed version, and it leaves you with nothing but Kurdistan confusion. The point of the convoluted versions of what is going on over there is an attempt to provide cover for the greater plan -- an independent Kurdistan that will chop of chunks of land from Syria, Turkey, Iran, and Iraq and function as a base for western intelligence. The area has done that for a long time and is something of which the rest of the world is well aware.

Israeli leader set to approve first new settlement in decades Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is projected on a screen in Washington as he speaks to attendees of the AIPAC Policy Conference 2017 via satellite from Israel, Monday, March 27, 2017, in Washington. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta) By Isabel Kershner It was not immediately clear whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had received a green light from the White House for Thursday’s announcement.
The fact that he went ahead and did it means he did or didn't need it, and that's the first I've seen regarding AIPAC's 2017 meeting in the Globe this whole week -- although the town meeting went fine, according to the web (they were complaining about what?)

Trump Said to Ease Combat Rules in Somalia Intended to Protect Civilians President Donald Trump has relaxed some of the rules for preventing civilian casualties when the U.S. military carries out counterterrorism strikes in Somalia, laying the groundwork for an escalating campaign against Islamist militants in the Horn of Africa.
This guy is stacking up civilian corpses all over the place. Some people are actually arguing he's escalating to deescalate in what is obscenely twisted logic.

Kushner’s new post takes ‘Innovation’ from a buzzword to a buzzkill Take a familiar, trite, or even half-baked idea, and give it a title with “innovation” in it. Presto! You’re Mark Zuckerberg 2.0.
Going after the boy again. You know, Netanyahu stayed at the house and they didn't talk about slum lord father that Christie bagged (Trumps never forget), but he can't stay at 666 Fifth Ave. anymore(!!). Good thing they moved.
Is Trump’s ‘secret plan’ to defeat ISIS dragging us into another Iraq war? The president is pressing our military to go faster and has authorized more forces to fight.
