Now that the ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead what is the rest of ISIS going to do? Do they have another charismatic personality like the one Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had? He had these people believing that he was a prophet on top of being a leader of a terrorist group. Does his replacement possess these traits or if not then there is no replacement thus no unifying factor which means this group may form factions as independent groups because some groups hate others. There will be no unity. The replacement may just look at what happened to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and resign on the spot. Which is a smart move considering the previous leader is no longer around to brag about it. Will these factions war amongst themselves? If they do what about the ones that sit it out. Will they look to the rest of the middle east as their targets? Or will they hang it up too? Let's see. Stay tuned.
UPDATE: Since publication of the preceding article I was unaware we had also gone after the number 2 man in the ISIS hierarchy. Taking out the founder and his second in command tells everyone that being part of ISIS can be hazardous to their health. Very few will want the job at this point.

Pussies on campus
Many undergraduates, their fawn-like eyes wide with astonishment, are wondering: Why didn’t the dean of students prevent the election from disrupting the serenity to which my school has taught me that I am entitled?
Campuses create “safe spaces” where students can shelter from discombobulating thoughts and receive spiritual balm for the trauma of microaggressions. Yet the presidential election came without trigger warnings?
The morning after the election, normal people rose — some elated, some despondent — and went off to actual work. But at Yale, that incubator of late-adolescent infants, a professor responded to “heartfelt notes” from students “in shock” by making that day’s exam optional.
Academia should consider how it contributed to, and reflects Americans’ judgments pertinent to, Donald Trump’s election. The compound of childishness and condescension radiating from campuses is a constant reminder to normal Americans of the decay of protected classes — in this case, tenured faculty and cosseted students.
As “bias-response teams” fanned out across campuses, an incident report was filed about a University of Northern Colorado student who wrote “free speech matters” on one of 680 “#languagematters” posters that cautioned against politically incorrect speech. Catholic DePaul University denounced as “bigotry” a poster proclaiming “Unborn Lives Matter.”
Bowdoin College provided counseling to students traumatized by the cultural appropriation committed by a sombrero-and-tequila party. Oberlin College students said they were suffering breakdowns because schoolwork was interfering with their political activism.
Cal State University, Los Angeles, established “healing” spaces for students to cope with the pain caused by a political speech delivered three months earlier. Indiana University experienced social-media panic because a priest in a white robe, with a rope-like belt and rosary beads, was identified as someone “in a KKK outfit holding a whip.”
A doctoral dissertation at the University of California, Santa Barbara, uses “feminist methodologies” to understand how Girl Scout cookie sales “reproduce hegemonic gender roles.” The journal GeoHumanities explores how pumpkins reveal “racial and class coding of rural versus urban places.” Another journal’s article analyzes “the relationships among gender, science and glaciers.” A Vassar lecture “theorizes oscillating relations between disciplinary, pre-emptive and increasingly prehensive forms of power that shape human and non-human materialities in Palestine.”
An American Council of Trustees and Alumni study — “No US History? How College History Departments Leave the United States out of the Major,” based on requirements and course offerings at 75 leading colleges and universities — found that “the overwhelming majority of America’s most prestigious institutions do not require even the students who major in history to take a single course on United States history or government.”
At some schools that require history majors to take at least one US history course, the requirement can be fulfilled with courses like “Mad Men and Mad Women” (Middlebury College), “Hip-Hop, Politics and Youth Culture in America” (University of Connecticut) and “Jews in American Entertainment” (University of Texas). Constitutional history is an afterthought.
Small wonder, then, that a recent ACTA-commissioned survey found that less than half of college graduates knew that George Washington was the commanding general at Yorktown; that nearly half didn’t know that Theodore Roosevelt was important to the construction of the Panama Canal; that more than one-third couldn’t place the Civil War in a correct 20-year span or identify Franklin Roosevelt as the architect of the New Deal; that 58 percent didn’t know that the Battle of the Bulge occurred in World War II; and that nearly half didn’t know the lengths of the terms of US senators and representatives.
Institutions of supposedly higher education are awash with hysteria, authoritarianism, obscurantism, philistinism and charlatanry. Which must have something to do with the tone and substance of the presidential election, which took the nation’s temperature.

Could you get through this without laughing? I couldn't. Not at George Will,not this time but at the nation's university and college campuses. Hey kids,you know who your safe space will not protect you from? ISIS that's who.

A nicer gentler Russia
Big shit is going down in the Middle East with Russia bombing what they say are ISIS targets yet they are no where near an ISIS encampment. It turns out they are bombing their buddy's enemies,people we are supporting. Russia,an considerate invader,is coming not only to the Middle East,no soon they'll appear in the Middle West. As in midwest USA. It's not that far fetched. Russian planes have flown very close to the Alaskan and Californian coastlines. Apparently Putin has slacked off on recognizing American sovereignty. Obama is really good at going after Republicans,especially conservatives with no mercy whatsoever yet when it comes to foreign policy he cowers. That is how it is. There is no other way to explain it. Will Putin invade the USA? He wants to get the band back together but America has always been an adversary. If he can capture the USA he believes he can push Russian dominance worldwide. That has been the Soviet dream and Putin is a ?former? KGB colonel and the dream of the Soviet Union was worldwide dominance with the USA on Russia's leash.

Play time for terrorists
If I were a terrorist I would strike on the southern border with Mexico. With all these children coming across at Barrack Obama's invitation it is an excellent distraction from what else is happening. According to tonight's Hannity a lot of muslims are pouring across our southern border as well. That would mean either Al Qadea or ISIS is coming across the border. Remember this is the same ISIS that is currently trying to bomb Israel out of existence and they have made it no secret that they are coming after us. Now add on top of that the United States has a southern neighbor,Mexico,that has no respect for our country. They show this by imprisoning our Marine,Andrew Tahmooressi,when it has been shown that he entered Mexico unknowingly and was cooperative with Mexican authorities. Now add to that Obama is discharging people from the military while demanding money for the illegal aliens pouring across our border. No military to defend the country,a system overworked by a ever expanding growth in illegal aliens and an infrustructure about to collapse. On the rest of the world,North Korea is getting brave and our allies are wondering if we can lead or not. America's enemies are embolden while America's allies are worried. Yes,I would say this is the time to strike and strike hard. I'm probably not the only one to see this but the only difference is I'm being hypothetical while they may actually implement it.
