ISIS: Addressing a New Level of Brutality
ISIS nastiness is not limited to beheadings. As in Paris, they'll just as likely plant bombs in your facility or on themselves
Raised rural & small town, then lived in N.Y., Chicago & LA. Widely traveled. Returned from world wandering to pursue media life of anchorman/reporter and major, medium and small market talk radio. Highly active in politics. Once worked as orderly & security in Mens Lock Ward for the Criminally Insane at a state institution. Much more rational population than current Teapublicans. Great concern for country run by and for the extreme wealthy. The inhumane current running through this country has no precedent in modern history.

Make No Mistake About It, George W Bush’s Iraq War Has Spread To France
It is incredibly ironic that the one American ally that vehemently protested and condemned Bush's invasion and occupation of Iraq has now felt the horrific results of terrorists created by Bush's folly in attacking and slaughtering hundreds-of-thousands of innocent Muslims, and creating the Islamic State.

There Is No One I Would Rather Have at the Helm Today Than President Barack Obama
