    Darrell Hammond as Trump on SNL during the debate skit said Jeb pees sitting down and I immediately thought of YF. I might need to see Jeb's birth certificate. LOL

    About those "moderate" rebels we're helping to fight ISIS? Yeah, not so moderate:

    The Centre on Religion and Geopolitics, an initiative of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, warns that's why wiping out the Islamic State would not end the threat to the West from jihadi groups.

    The BBC reports:

    "The report, due to be published on Monday, says the greatest danger to the international community are groups who share the IS ideology but are currently being ignored - they number about 100,000 fighters.


    "Current Western efforts to define 'moderate' and 'extremist' rebels are bound to fail, because the groups themselves rarely make the distinction, the centre says.

    "Some 60% of Syria's major rebel groups are Islamist extremists, and many of the groups share the same aims, the study finds.


    "Fewer than a quarter of the rebels surveyed were not ideological, and many were willing to fight alongside extremists and would probably accept an Islamist political settlement to the civil war."

    In concrete terms, what the think-tank is saying is that if the Islamic State is defeated there are "at least 65,000 fighters belonging to other Salafi-jihadi groups ready to take its place."

    Trump can negotiate with them. If he can negotiate with Jewish New YOrk Real Estate Lawyers, he can talk to these guys

    LOL. Were they the only ones to report it?

    Turns out to be a fake bomb, or not a bomb, still caused a plane to divert, and make an emergency landing.

    Terrorism has a multiplier effect. This is a part of it.

    Your rush to repeat unconfirmed "news" is noted again, media critic.

    Repeating reported news that turns out to be false is knock on me. Sorry I need to explain this to you.

    If I'm a media critic, it's more fuel for me.
