There are over 1 billion Muslims on the planet, and there are about 40,000 ISIS supporters. Somewhat incredibly, most of ISIS’ victims have been Muslims. Isn’t that enough of a motivation for Muslims the world over to band together to crush ISIS?
ISIS is neither 12-feet tall nor bullet proof. They’re a bunch of thugs who act like bullies. The way you deal with a bully is to smack him in the mouth and let him get a taste of his own blood.
But before ISIS is dealt with that way, the United States and other countries have to take care of a few basic issues. First, all countries have to tighten up on their immigration, specifically, their Visa Waiver programs. Flaws in the Visa Waiver program allowed 9/11 terrorists to enter the United States as well as one of the San Bernardino terrorists.
The Visa Waiver program allows business and touring citizens of participating countries easy travel entry into the United States without a Visa, and they can stays of 90 days or less. This policy needs to be revised.
Back to the thugs called ISIS. Nearly every nation on the planet has valid reasons to be against ISIS--for its terrorist acts and for what it represents. You can count among those nations, the United States, Russia, Britain, France, Germany, Nigeria, Kenya, Japan, Jordan, Canada, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Australia, India, and China, just to name a few.
Those are some of the most powerful nations in the world. All of them have enormous economic and military might. But for some unexplained reason, these nations have allowed petty differences to prevent them from uniting to destroy ISIS. Take the United States and Russia. The U.S. will not coordinate with Russia because Russia supports Syrian leader Assad. Russia will not work with the United States because it wants to keep Assad in power. But shouldn’t destroying ISIS be the number one priority?
Let’s unite to get rid of ISIS first. We could put the Assad matter on the back burner for now. But first things first.
When you’re dealing with people who don’t respect humanity or law, like ISIS, you cannot play nice. The civilized nations of the world have to get down and in-the-mud nasty. You have to do unto terrorists what the terrorist do unto you. If it means beheading terrorists to let them taste their own medicine, so be it.
Quite often, when the civilized man is in conflict with the uncivilized man, the uncivilized man has an advantage. You see, the uncivilized man’s actions aren’t restrained by conscience or law. However, the civilized man’s actions are. To eliminate the uncivilized man, the civilized man cannot afford to play nice.
What this all means is let the terrorists taste their own cooking, so to speak. We have to be as brutal towards terrorists as they have been towards others.Terrorists think they have a monopoly on fear and terror, and that’s been their strength. The nations of the world must teach ISIS a lesson, and they have to be just as ruthless when doing it.
With so many nations ticked off by ISIS, you would think stopping ISIS would be easy. But none of these nations wants to get their hands dirty. Most of them, including Mideast nations, want the US, and Western nations, to do all the heavy lifting. But they have money, resources, and an army, too. Let each nation commit troops and weapons towards the fight.
More importantly, why can’t there be a conference of nations to coordinate a military strategy? Then, let these nations assemble troops and surround ISIS fighters in key cities. This kind of commitment by nations could eliminate this band of degenerate misfits in less than a year.
Fighting terrorism is every nation’s responsibility. But other nations cannot sit back... <<<<<< N.B from Jumbotweet: auto-truncated at 4K characters on index page - Click here or on the "view" link to see entire jumbotweet! http://www.jumbotweet.com/ltweets/view/146475

“People are entitled to their own opinions.
But they’re not entitled to their own facts.”
So many Americans have very short memories. Some of them seem to have short memories on purpose. Or, they may simply be in denial. They conveniently forget the shape this country was in after George W. Bush’s eight years in office. To hear some Americans tell it, mainly Republicans, the Bush years were the good old days. But hardly. The reality is, Bush, and his Republican homies, left this country in a terrible mess.
If you forgot what Pres. Barack Obama inherited, or you developed a case of amnesia, here’s a refresher.
The Republicans got the country involved in Iraq, an unnecessary and costly war. That war took thousands of American lives and as many were wounded. That war lasted over 10 years and cost the United States $6 trillion, including services to wounded veterans. The cost to the treasury was nearly $1 billion a day.
The consequence of the U.S’s involvement in an unnecessary Iraq war caused destabilization in the Mideast power structure. With Iraq weakened by the United States, Iran was no longer held in check by it rival, Iraq, which it previously lost a war to. Weakening Iraq also opened the door for ISIS to emerge in the region.
When Obama took office, he inherited a housing market that had collapsed. The stock market had tanked and your 401(k) was in trouble. The Dow Jones Industrial Average had plunged below 9000 points. The banking industry also was in trouble. Major banks and financial institutions were on the verge of going under.
At the same time, the auto industry was on life support. Chrysler and GM were headed for closure. Gas prices reached $4, and $5 a gallon in some areas. The employment rate was dismal. Finally, millions of Americans didn’t have health insurance.
Fast forward to 2016. Look at those issues today. The economy is stronger. The housing market has come back. The auto industry has roared back, and GM, Ford and Chrysler all have hired thousands of new employees, so have their suppliers. Gas prices are below $2 in many states. The United States no longer imports most of its oil. It is now an oil exporter.
The banking industry and the financial markets are stronger; so is your 401(k). The Dow Jones Industrial Average is over 18,000 points. When Bush’s term ended the average was 9,000 points.
The nation is no longer spending billions every day in Iraq, and soldiers aren’t dying or being maimed every day. Millions of Americans now have health insurance, and young people can remain on their parent’s insurance until they’re age 26.
During this current 2016 presidential election season, Republicans, who created a mess across the board, are counting on Americans to have short memories, be dumbed down by Reality TV, and be programmed by Fox News to think a certain way. It’s nothing short of amazing how clueless, gullible, and misinformed many Trump supporters are.
Incredibly, you even have autoworkers, who owe their jobs to Pres. Obama’s policies, on the Trump bandwagon and singing his praises. But some Americans often vote against their best interest due to racism. As for Trump, all he has done is run his mouth.
Years from now, Americans will look back, and wonder how could so many people be so scammed by this man.
Black Lives Matters supporters deserve much credit for shining a very bright light on what rogue police officers have been doing, mainly to African Americans. Their actions contributed to the use of body cameras and other police reforms. That is a very good thing, and the black community owes them much gratitude. But, with the lofty brand name, “Black Lives Matter,” the group is getting scrutinized more.
Much of that scrutiny focuses on how the group has cherry picked which black lives matter. The black lives that seem to matter most to BLM supporters are the black lives taken by Whites or white police officers. But black lives taken by Blacks get short shrift and don’t seem to matter as much.
When you think about it, there’s something strange and twisted about the group’s preoccupation with black lives taken by white cops and the group’s scant attention to black lives taken by Blacks. Their chants, signs and protests may claim, “Black Lives Matter.” But their actions say something entirely different.
Truth is, there’s a reason why Black Lives Matter supporters focus disproportionately on what Whites and the police do to Blacks and so little to the black lives taken by other Blacks.
Consider this: When any people, such as African Americans, have been subjected to ongoing racism for years, even centuries, a fair amount of psychological damage can take place.
Racism has been a major factor in the lives of African Americans. It was a basis for slavery, reconstruction and ongoing discrimination. You’re talking about centuries of toxic exposure.
Given that kind of exposure to racism, it’s understandable that some Blacks would develop racism-related hangups.
The most obvious signs of psychological damage are when a people attempt to change their features, hair and complexion to resemble the very people who subjected them to racism. But there are other signs of psychological damage as well.
Enter Black Lives Matter supporters. Without realizing it, Black Lives Matter supporters are acting out an unhealthy, twisted fixation to racism. Supporters may chant Black Lives Matter, but their actions, not their words, scream out that the only black lives they care about are black lives taken by a white person, particularly a white cop.
If a black person’s life has been taken by a black crook, that’s not on the radar of BLM supporters. They don’t those black lives worthy of protests. Those Blacks, who are killed by other Blacks, will remain anonymous no matter how heinous their killing may have been. Ask yourself, when was the last time Black Lives Matter supporters protested a heinous killing of a black person by a black crook?
In Chicago last year, a 6-year-old black child was intentionally targeted and gunned down by a gang member who wanted revenge against the child’s father. In Inkster, MI, a black crook gunned down another child, this time in front of the child’s father. The crook wanted the father to witness his handiwork before he shot the father.
Certainly, those crimes were as heinous as anything the police has done that led to massive protests. But there was no outrage, and there were no protests. Those young victims were not turned into martyrs. There were no chants of “No Justice, No Peace.”
If you’re obsessed with racists and racism, black-on-black killings and shootings will not fit into your obsession, angle or narrative.
If racism is a mental illness, and it is, some of us may be co-dependent. It’s as if the racist, and victims of racism, are somehow linked psychologically, each carrying its own psychological baggage.
After attending protests in different... <<<<<< N.B from Jumbotweet: auto-truncated at 4K characters on index page - Click here or on the "view" link to see entire jumbotweet! http://www.jumbotweet.com/ltweets/view/146472
