In recent days, ISIS is understood to have been conducting raids on Assyrian villages that have long been home to Syria’s ancient Christian minority.


Last week, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 220 people had been abducted from from 10 villages in Hasaka province.

A video posted on Facebook by an Assyrian-linked Swedish media group purported to show celebrations as the group was released.

Heh. But still, aren’t there a few things missing?

Maybe he’s just trying to keep that under wraps until he reveals his big strategy tomorrow night. But let’s look a little closer, shall we?

Presidentin’ is hard.

Obama's desk hard

Especially when you’ve got Joe Biden getting in the way:

Fer cryin’ out loud. Sign guy clearly hasn’t occupied reality for a long, long time.

@redsteeze yeah, still going with ISIS

.@redsteeze So, he's "experiencing" Wall street now. Perhaps he should experience ISIS and then get back to us?

— Sandy (@RightGlockMom) October 14, 2014

@redsteeze really? How many has Wall Street beheadings, and hung, and burned, and blown up. Idiots everywhere.

Gov. Bobby Jindal comes out against Gang of Eight immigration bill

http://twitter.com/#!/BobbyJindal/status/354673543646162944

Drawing a sharp contrast to Sen. Marco Rubio and several other well-known Republicans, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has come out against the Gang of Eight immigration reform bill.

Jindal supports amnesty for illegal aliens … but only after the border is secure. (The Gang of Eight bill grants amnesty before anything is done to secure the border.)  In addition, he supports a big increase in legal immigration:

This is going to help Jindal with grassroots conservatives:

It will be interesting to see if Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin and other amnesty supporters now try to smear Gov. Jindal (whose parents immigrated to the U.S. from India) as “anti-immigrant.”
