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."
Smart man!!
We aren’t expected to get that low, but the wind makes everything uglier. What elevation are you, there? We’re 2700’ where I live.
I’m pretty sure he would!
It was fun. Like I said: I miss it.
As an aside: That shirt I got at the Charlotte Motor Speedway is WAY big on me, now. Funny! It was pretty tight when I first wore it! LOL!
I have the opposite problem. I can't get the other voices to pipe down.
Sometimes they belong to other people. That gets a little embarassing since I'm supposed to listen to them.
The voices in my head sound just like me. Go figger.
Do NOT put yogurt in your mouse.
It will only ask for more.
(It would rather have a cookie, but they aren’t all that choosey.)
Thanks. Learning to navigate with the mousepad thingy is an exercise in frustration.
I’m not sure I have the patience for much of that. :o|
Jesus loves the little children.
We learned that in Sunday School.
The adults? That’s a different story.
Woah! That would be creepy.
Go figger.
OK. Two and two are four.
Four and four are eight.
Eight and eight are sixteen.
Sixteen and sixteen are - sorry, not enough fingers and toes for that one.
Thutty 2.
The doctor’s office just called and said my BP “was a little high,” and would I come in for a BP check?
I figured I’d go after I took it at home, first. HAH! The batteries in the BP cuff are dead. That thing really eats the batteries! I’m lucky if it lasts a month, every other day or so of readings, certainly not every day. Dang. And the BP has been down lately, so I check it about every third to fifth day.
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded like she had been indulging in something illegal...slow speech, slurring words, etc. *sheesh*

Don't know if 'a Partridge in a yellow delicious apple tree' would fit in the song.
And it could be that Rick Sarmiento is better at photoshop than botany..
I found this on the FB thingy and had to share it!

Ah. That would ‘splain it, thanks! I’ve never heard of those Asian round pears, but if they taste as good as American pears, I’m sold!
(I love pears!) (And peaches.) (And apricots.)
With all that harassing, how do they find the time to eat the donuts?
Love is such a funny word.
I love my mom.
I love my wife.
I love my dog.
I love apple pie.
Same word, four completely different meanings.
On the other hand, if it were Greek you'd have more words.. ;-)
“It would be good Theology if it had ended that way though... “
YEP
They didn’t mention donuts, just the coffee. Maybe they use straws for that. Or maybe donuts are dunked... ;o]
Hillary’s or perhaps Bernie’s.. There is little to visibly differentiate between them. ;-)
