CHICAGO – An Illinois teenager was arrested Saturday at a major airport as authorities say he was attempting to travel to the Middle East to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). (more…)
(Reuters) – Islamic State raised its flag on a building on the outskirts of the Syrian frontier town of Kobani on Monday after an assault of almost three weeks, but the town’s Kurdish defenders said its fighters had not reached the city centre.

A black flag belonging to Islamic State was visible from across the Turkish border atop a four-storey building close to the scene of some of the most intense clashes in recent days.
The radical al Qaeda offshoot has been battling to seize the predominantly Kurdish town after taking over large swathes of territory in northern Syria and Iraq in recent months.
Air strikes by American and Gulf state warplanes have failed to halt its advance on Kobani, which it has besieged from three sides and pounded with heavy artillery. (more…)
OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma Muslims marked the end of the yearly pilgrimage to mecca with communal prayer and celebration called Eid Ul-Adha on Saturday.

Leaders of the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City say it’s been a tough month for Muslims here in Oklahoma after being associated with the beheading at Vaughan foods in Moore. (more…)
Is the bloom coming off the ruse? Is Mr. Hume waking up and smelling the coffee?
It’s a fools paradise, Captain Obvious.
Actions speak louder than words. President Obama has been leading the media down the primrose path… There is zero intention to defeat ISIS. There is 100% intention to defeat Bashir Assad.
Remove Assad and allow the Sunni Extremists -and Muslim Brotherhood political types- to re-create the sharia compliant utopia they first tried in Egypt following the 2009 Cairo “America sucks” speech.
By now there is no doubt where Turkey’s Prime Minister Sunni ideology is resting…
EGYPT – President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s insistent criticism of Egypt’s Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who was elected president after ousting a democratically elected president via a military coup, may well come with a price tag for Turkey on various fronts ranging from the economy to diplomacy, according to concerned analysts.

“There will be a price for this [attitude of Erdoğan]. Turkey should not expect to get the support of Egypt at the election for the UN Security Council,” Faruk Loğoğlu, a deputy of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), told Sunday’s Zaman.
Turkey is among the countries competing to get a seat as a temporary member in the UN Security Council for the two-year term of 2015-2016, and it is obvious Turkey will not enjoy Egypt’s support for its bid. (more…)
Ben Affleck is so far beyond stupid the light from where stupid exists would take a year to find him.
I mean seriously. It is well known that Ben Affleck is not the brightest bulb in the known universe. But somewhere, far beyond planet Disconnect, in a galaxy surrounded by a milky way of Cognitive Dissonance, a non sentient glow worm has just beckoned his return.
Watch young Affleck redefine disambiguation in front of your eyes:
Joe being Joe, hits the truth strings – but misses the finger board.
Joe being Joe, outs “his friend” Recep Erdogan as being complicit to the rise of ISIS in Syria.
Joe being Joe, doesn’t quite understand Erdogan’s ideological comfort therein. Apparently Joe is easily fooled.
Joe out’s Hillary as being naïve to arm the fictional Syrian Moderates 2011, 2012, 2013.
Joe might not know about Operation Zero Footprint.
Joe is out. Joe is speaking. Joe is off the range.
The insufferable Leon Panetta has a new book revealing how President Obama, Denis McDonough, Valerie Jarrett and Ben Rhodes constructed every encountered policy, including defense, through a domestic political lens. Duh!
This short-sighted and naïve world view is why the foreign policies of the Obama administration -from Libya and the support for al-Qaeda, to Iran and the almost certain nuclear bomb they will acquire- have been catastrophic in consequence. But it really doesn’t matter now does it?


The value in Panetta’s public push back -against the amateur crowd occupying the White House- would have been important when those disastrous policies were being debated, planned and executed. But now, not so much – the Rubicon has been crossed, and hundreds of U.S. military have been killed.
It should also be remembered that Panetta the Prog is responsible for constructing ‘Operation Zero Footprint’ with Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. A State Dept. and CIA operation which eventually led to the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty. Neither Clinton nor Panetta have been held to account.
(Via Washington Post) Tell-all memoirs can be tough when they actually, well, tell all. But it would be hard to surpass the shot that Leon Panetta, President Obama’ s former CIA director and secretary of defense, takes at his former boss and the White House foreign policy team in his new book: “Worthy Fights.” (more…)
