The face of the Ojibwa warrior moves in close — sunglasses, bandana, anonymity. The youthful private — field helmet, bare face — shifts. Looks over the shoulder of the warrior, to the left, to the right. Then locks: nose to nose; toe to toe. A straight-ahead, dead-eye stare.

 

His name was Patrick Cloutier, a private with the Royal 22e Régiment. He was 19 years of age.

 

Piecing together video clips, it’s clear that at least three warriors approached Cloutier in face-to-face confrontations. In one of these, the voice of a warrior initially misidentified in print as “Lasagna” — Ronald Cross, who had gained a high profile in the dispute — can barely be discerned. “Are you nervous?” “Not scared, though, are you?” The word “bullet” stands out in one clip, choppily followed by “crawls up your leg bone.”

 

Cloutier is stoic. Komulainen wondered if the French-speaking Van Doo fully understood what was being said to him. She remembers the warrior explaining to the private what it feels like when a bullet enters a man’s body, how it moves around.

Ooops, left out the appropriate quote from Sara Carter's article:

 

President Trump will address the nation at next week’s State of The Union, despite protests by House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi to postpone it until the government shutdown ends, according to anonymous sources who spoke with the Associated Press.

 

The White House sent an email to the Sergeant-at-Arms Tuesday to begin preparations for a Capitol walk-through. The original walk-through was canceled following Pelosi’s request.

US-backed forces captured the last major town held by ISIS in eastern Syria on Wednesday, and are now sweeping surrounding villages for remnants of the militant group, activists said.

 

The Syrian Democratic Forces, a coalition of Arab and Kurdish fighters, have seized several eastern villages from ISIS, including Hajin, Al Shaafa and Sousa, in recent weeks.

 

On Wednesday, they captured Al Baghouz, the last major town under militant control, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

 

The advance confines militants to two small hamlets. The Observatory said search operations are ongoing to find any ISIS fighters who may have gone into hiding.

6) And, from a reader in Texas who is politically conservative:

 

Can you think of anything dumber than taking a bunch of Catholic parochial high-school boys to a political protest in Washington, DC?…

 

“Black Israelites,” an activist Indian pow-wow, and feminist-abortioniks on parade…WTF were the priests and parents thinking?

Schumer and McConnell reach apparent deal that may end shutdown

 

https://nypost.com/2019/01/22/schumer-and-mcconnell-reach-apparent-deal-that-may-end-shutdown/

 

Top senators said Tuesday they would vote Thursday on two separate bills that could bring an immediate end to the record-breaking government shutdown.

 

One of the bills has the backing of President Trump, and includes $5.7 billion for his long-promised border wall.

 

The other would extend funding for shuttered agencies through Feb. 8, the New York Times reported.

 

The plan, a compromise between Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, could be a way to end the shutdown — though the fate of the border-wall-funding bill remained in doubt in both the Senate and the House.

 

And Trump could veto one or both of the bills, prolonging the partial shutdown, which enters its 33rd day on Wednesday.
