The US plans to deploy its High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) on Turkey’s border with Syria next month, according to the Turkish Foreign Minister. Mevlut Cavusoglu told local media that the US rocket launcher system is to combat ISIS terrorists. The deployment in May is part of an agreement with Washington to seal off the bordering Manbji region in Aleppo Province, northern Syria. RT reports: “We have come to an agreement with the US regarding closing down the Manbij area,” the Turkish foreign minister told the Haberturk newspaper while visiting Saudi Arabia.

Less than 24 hours after the Cruz/Kasich alliance was announced, it already appears to be on the verge of failure. Upon hearing of the deal between Cruz and Kasich, GOP voters and strategists alike were left scratching their heads, wondering how this was all supposed to work. To recap, the two men had their campaigns release statements late last night telling voters of a plan they'd put together that would prevent Donald Trump from winning the necessary delegates required to have an outright victory prior to the convention.

Well, well, well:

Hillary Clinton holds just a 3-point lead over Republican front-runner Donald Trump in a national head to head matchup, according to a George Washington University Battleground Poll.

Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, has 46 percent compared to Trump’s 43 percent, a more narrow margin than other polls have found.
