We still got our second amendment to never let this happen. Unless the left gets their way of course.
Life may be all fun and games now in the USA, but as offshoring increases, illegal immigration rises, hard-working Americans die off or dropout due to higher taxes and more regulations, the national debt climbs, there is more terrorism as the result of illegal American wars, the police become more brutal enforcing draconian decrees, the US Ponzi economy and stock markets collapse, cash is banned, Americans are implanted with microchips, and real crises and false flags are used to force Americans to go to the gulags and finally to the gas chambers and ovens, will Americans wish that they had spoken out earlier against the dangers of wars, debt, and tyranny?
We still got our second amendment to never let this happen. Unless the left gets their way of course.

Hundreds dead in Mogadishu today. Huge explosion from a truck packed with explosives. Does anyone care?

Raqqa: Isis completely driven out of Syria 'capital' by US-backed forces
US-backed militias have completely taken Isis' de facto capital, Raqqa, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said on Tuesday, in a major symbolic blow to the jihadist group.
The fall of Raqqa, where Isis staged euphoric parades after its string of lightning victories in 2014, is a potent symbol of the movement's collapsing fortunes. The city was used as a base for the group to plan attacks abroad.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), an alliance of Kurdish and Arab militias backed by a US-led international alliance, has been fighting Isis inside Raqqa since June.
Militia fighters celebrated in the streets, chanted slogans from their vehicles and raised a flag inside Raqqa stadium.
An SDF spokesman said the alliance would capture the last Isis areas in the city within hours.
Save The Children has warned that the humanitarian crisis in northeast Syria is "rapidly escalating", with 270,000 people who have fled the fighting in "critical need" of aid and camps "bursting at the seams".
On Saturday a deal was brokered for the last remaining local fighters in Raqqa to leave the city.
SDF spokesman Talal Silo said then that any fighters who were not signed up to the deal would be left behind "to surrender or die”.
The jihadists' last bases in the city, a stadium and a hospital, were captured earlier on Tuesday, the SDF said.
A local field commander said no Isis fighters remained at the two central points where militants had been best entrenched and where the SDF said fighting on Monday night and early Tuesday was focused.
"We do still know there are still IEDs and booby traps in and amongst the areas that ISIS once held, so the SDF will continue to clear deliberately through areas," said Colonel Ryan Dillon, a spokesman for the coalition.
In a sign that the four-month battle for Raqqa was in its last stages, Col Dillon said there had been no coalition air strikes there on Monday.
It is now hemmed in to a tiny bomb-cratered patch of the city around the stadium that was being pounded from the air by a US-led coalition and encircled by SDF fighters.
Isis has lost swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq this year, including its most prized possession, Mosul, and in Syria it has been forced back into a strip of the Euphrates valley and surrounding desert.

Wow. The "JV Team" that grew exponentially in land and resources after Obama made that remark, is now holding on by the fingernails. I notice ISIS really started to collapse after the Saudi Visit.

Here's your enemy for this week, the government says. And some gullible Americans click their heels and salute - often without knowing who or even where the enemy of the week is.

Let’s see. Muslims who hate us and are generally pirate refuse blow up others of their ilk.
Yah, don’t expect the “care factory” to pull an extra shift tonight.

One wonders if US wars lead to terrorism, refugees, debt, and tyranny.
A fresh wave of airstrikes in eastern Syria killed at least 35 civilians including women and children, state media and a monitoring group reported Friday, as the U.N. human rights chief said civilians are increasingly paying the price of escalating attacks against the Islamic State group in the country.
***
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the airstrikes were conducted by the U.S.-led coalition fighting IS.
***
"The same civilians who are suffering indiscriminate shelling and summary executions by ISIL, are also falling victim to the escalating airstrikes, particularly in the northeastern governorates of" Raqqa and Deir el-Zour, al-Hussein said in a statement from Geneva, using another acronym for IS."
Most voters rejected Hillary's war in 2016. I've seen silly claims about immigration policy or tweets giving terrorists what they want, but really, bombing civilians does in fact drive terrorists' recruiting. The ISIL video of the Jordanian pilot juxtaposed his remains with those of the civilians (including children) killed by U.S.-led coalition airstrikes during Hillary's War. Now, even after voters rejected Hillary's War, it is becoming Donald's War, possibly due to deep state pressure, and it looks painfully familiar.
