Meanwhile the leftist media has been twisting itself in knots trying to make this into yet another ORANGE MAN BAD story.

Trump did not inform Democrat Leaders prior to the raid due to concerns about leaks.

It didn't say he was martyred and is enjoying his 72 virgins?

By the way, I looked it up -- Carter didn't inform Congress about "Operation Eagle Claw," the failed Iran rescue mission.  But since leftards have the memory of goldfish, none of them could possibly remember that.

Holy sh*t.

BTW, PBMB tried to find this headline on the WaPoo site, and could not. I didn't try, but I don't have much faith in Twitter either.

From PBMB:


Twitter (as an easily-usable platform) is a metaphorical Pied Piper. In the Fifties, my mother did in fact believe things were true if she saw them on TV.  My father, not so easily.  But Mom fit the famous stereotype.  In that sense, Twitter is today's "TV".



BTW, Baghdadi was NEVER a "leader" in ISIS.  He was a religious figurehead (in reality, a street preacher), recruited by Haji Bakr and Izzat al-Douri to give the group a sheen of religious credibility.  Haji Bakr is said to have met him while they were both imprisoned in Camp Bucca.  In 2010, Baghdadi was made "emir" of what would eventually become ISIS.

Bakr had been a Lt. Col. in Saddam's air force intelligence directorate.  The vast majority of operational commanders in 2014 ISIS were former intel officers, religiously radicalized by Saddam's 1990's "Faith Campaign" -- a political attempt to climb on the rising tide of Islamism, after Ba'ath socialism and Nasser's Pan-Arabism had flopped.

Al-Douri was the leader of the Faith Campaign, and became Saddam's heir apparent.  He is apparently still alive and out there somewhere.  Northern-Liberal-redneck Trump probably doesn't have a clue as to who he is.

The headline is real. There are plenty of screencaps. It was changed in response to (entirely justified) Twitter outrage.

Lesson from last night - don't give an estimated time for blog update until it actually works.

Now, in around 30-60 minutes, I will push an update.

It will have:

1) Prevent blank posts

2) Allow user to complete profile so they won't show up as unknown user

3) Add strikethrough, subscript, superscript to editor toolbar

Need to do regression tests to make sure nothing got broken, then generate a release build (no debugging info).

Then I will back up databases and push the update

Turns out, that was easy, The editor (Summernote) is quite customizable and the web page gave an example of what to do. Worked first time.
