Thanksgiving is almost upon us yet again, and what would the family holiday be without some liberals attempting to ruin it? Vox to the rescue:
Can we please just eat and watch football without the political microaggressions?
Bingo! Pass the turkey.
Multiple news outlets are reporting thatNajim Laachraoui, one of the suicide bombers in the terror attack on Brussels’ airport, had a summer job cleaningthe European parliament in 2009 and 2010. So much for Marie Harf’s and this administration’s claims that we can defeat ISIS with jobs:

Maybe it was a job non-terrorist Belgians won’t do?

Emwazi was born in 1988, and moved to the UK at the age of six with his family, according to Cage UK, a counter-terrorist activist group who spoke at length with Emwazi while he was still in the UK.
Emwazi attended the Quintin Kynaston Community Academy in St John’s Wood, north London. He then attended the University of Westminster. He graduated in 2009 with a degree in computer science.
Emwazi’s name appears in the above Independent piece from 2010. (That is not a photo of him.) In the article, Emwazi — going by name “Muazzam” — describes being questioned by security services while he and a friend were coming home from a safari in Tanzania.
Emwaz’s name appears in UK court documents. The secretary of state named him as having connections to a network of Islamist extremists based in Somalia. Emwazi told investigators that MI5 questioned him about his opinion of the London suicide attacks of 2005.

According to activist group Cage UK, after graduation, Emwazi became increasingly radicalised. In 2012, Emwazi took and passed a course to teach English as a foreign language. In early 2013, his father apparently suggested that he should change his name in order to make it easier to travel.
Emwazi was refused entry to Kuwait a third time. He left his parents’ home, and was reported as a missing person. Four months later, police told Emwazi’s family that he had entered Syria.The act was purportedly recorded in a video in which Foley appears beside a black-clad ISIS militant with a British accent. The militant beheads Foley and then addresses the camera, threatening that “any attempt by you, Obama, to deny the Muslims their rights of living in safety under the Islamic caliphate will result in the bloodshed of your people”.

Sotloff appeared in another video in the same position as Foley. In it, the masked man says that he is the same militant from the Foley execution video. “I’m back, Obama,” he says, addressing the camera. “I’m back because of your arrogant foreign policy towards the Islamic State.”
A day after the video was made public, the U.S. government confirmed that Sotloff had been executed by ISIS members.ISIS video screenshot
In September, ISIS released a video purporting to show the execution of Haines in the middle of a desert. The video begins with a taped interview of British prime minister David Cameron speaking about Iraq, followed by “a message to the allies of America”. Haines is then beheaded by a man believed to be Emwazi. Based on the voice, the militant appears be the same man in the previous two ISIS videos.
A video was released that purports to show British hostage Alan Henning being beheaded by the ISIS militant, by this point dubbed “Jihadi John” by the British tabloids. It opens with Henning kneeling on the ground next to the masked man. Henning addresses the camera, saying: “Hi, I’m Alan Henning. Because of our parliament’s decision to attack the Islamic State, I as a member of the British public will now pay the price for that decision.” Henning is then beheaded.

In the first, Kassig appears next to the militant with a British accent that’s thought to be Emwazi.
In the second, a black-clad man thought to Emwazi is seen standing over a severed head.“This is Peter Edward Kassig, a U.S. citizen of your country,” the man says to the camera. “Peter, who fought against the Muslims in Iraq while serving as a soldier under the American army, doesn’t have much to say.”ISIS video screenshot
In the first clip, the English-speaking militant demands $200 million in ransom from the Japanese government for their involvement with Western military efforts.

The announcement created a media frenzy outside what is believed to be Emwazi’s family home. Cage UK held a press conference describing him as a “kind, gentle, soft-spoken young man”.
A spokesperson for the University of Westminster said it was shocked and sickened at the reports that “Jihadi John” is Mohammed Emwazi.The White House refused to comment on Emwazi’s identity.At a press conference in Turkey at the site of the G20 summit, President Obama took questions from reporters and was repeatedly asked to address why he previously referred to ISIS as the “JV team” and said the terrorist group was contained. Obama was clearly irritated:
Obama took a very defensive stance on almost all the questions he was asked.
Bingo!

Former CIA operative Bob Baer told CNN’s Jake Tapper today that ISIS cells already exist in the United States and are capable of striking.
http://twitter.com/#!/KatiePavlich/status/506929605757128704“The people who collect tactical intelligence on the ground, day-to-day – and this isn’t Washington – but people collecting this stuff say they’re here, ISIS is here, they’re capable of striking,” said CNN national security analyst and former CIA operative Bob Baer.“They don’t know what their plans and intentions are. But it’s a definite concern,” said Baer.
U.S. intelligence agents are keeping an eye on suspected ISIS militants who they believe have come across the Mexican border, or are American citizens that have come back from Syria, says Baer.
Speaking of the Mexican border, Judicial Watch has been trying to draw attention to a federal bulletin warning of Islamic terrorist groups operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs.
