Raqqa, Syria
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIS, announced today that he would be disbanding all forces and returning all land to Syria and Iraq. The move was prompted by the ongoing Climate Conference in Paris.
"This is one thing we could not have anticipated," Mr. al-Baghdadi said in prepared remarks. "When we see the world coming together like this on such a dangerous subject as Global Climate Change, we realize that our Caliphate will never survive. It's only a matter of time before Climate Change is no more and the world's attention turns to us. At that point, we will have no chance. For the sake of the men, women, and children who have supported us, I can not continue a doomed campaign."
An emotional al-Baghdadi did not take any questions.
Sources close to al-Baghdadi who spoke on the condition of anonymity told us that it was becoming more and more difficult to recruit new fighters. "Even our existing people are extremely demoralized," one said. "The words of Donald Trump himself can not overcome our dispair."
According to their press release, surrender is total and immediate. Fighters are being paid and sent home by division. Any remaining money will be put into a fund to resettle Christians and Yazidis who have been displaced by the war.
"We thought the world was fragmented," one strategist was overheard saying to himself. "Who knew it could come together like this? This is a stinging rebuke."
So far there has been no comment from Damascus, Baghdad, Moscow, or Washington. One source inside the Kremlin said, "We are waiting to see if there will be any follow-up action. We want to make sure this is real before we decide on our next steps."

Maybe the Sea Cadets building will float.
The U.S Capitol would float. Between the BS and the hot air there’s no WAY it’s denser than water.
LOL!
Went and cashed a small Christmas check, then went to Smith’s (Kroger) and found two big ol’ rib eye steaks for $11. So I got an acorn squash, some red potatoes and some sour cream, and that took care of the Christmas check!
I think I will freeze one steak and eat the other for New Year’s. Now all I need to do is get a bottle of bubbly...if the direct deposit has come in tomorrow (not out of the realms of possibility, since the 3rd is on Sunday and Friday is a holiday.)
Sounds like a plan! Sally and I are going on a visit to deliver some gifts. I got the RX-7 out of the garage ... hopefully it will make it out if the driveway too! The warm weather helps.
*tagline*
I need to get my health problems taken care of so I can come visit and go for a ride in the XR-7!!!
(And I just remembered the MRI is going to cost me $50. Again.)
It’s still pretty cold out, but the sun is shining and working very hard at trying to come into the living room window and shine right in my eyes. Not for long, and I won’t complain. But I have to move the drape panels so the sun allows me to see the screen. Through squinty eyes, of course.
I found this list of 13 things you should never say on your first day of work. I figured we could create our own list.
1. Sorry I’m late, but that body was harder to bury than I thought it would be.
2. Who do I have to kiss in order to get a promotion?
The river Ouse has risen somewhere in the region of 5 meters.
The storm rain tomorrow is due to hit the whole country.
OUCH!
Stay safe, Moosie!
*hug*
We’ve been fairly dry ,here in the South.
Plus the land is flatter and more adsorbent than the area that has fed the Ouse.
**Hugs**
I still worry about you and yours, as I don’t know exactly where you are. And I’ve gotten a little fond of you! ;o]
Happy New Year, all y’all! Be well and be safe. Luv’s ya’s!
Newton Minnow* is vindicated even more today..
*Obscure historical reference that most will not understand.
"When television is good, nothing - not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers - nothing is better. But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there for a day without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland." Newton Minnow May 9, 1961
Riverers aren’t supposed to Ouse. They’re supposed to flow freely.
Saw that one too. Think it’s on EweToob.
I’ve never seen “when television is good.”
I’ve seen when some television is better than other television.
But good? Lord! No, not good.
