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."
Good morning. I don’t remember my dreams, but they might have been about cats.
It’s Saturday morning. And I’m tired and feel almost as upside down as that kitteh, but I’ll survive the day.
And I will vote on Monday.
DP is shaving the byos’ heads.
I much prefer the desert climate, because my lungs don’t like a lot of humidity. And yes, it’s easier to get used to the desert than it is to more humid areas.
Skipping pizza never helps, in any way. Pizza is in one of the main food groups, right up there with chocolate and lasagna and roast chicken.
I used to do that to my kids. I never shaved my daughter’s head, but I did shave my son’s once in a while. Now he shaves his son’s and his step-son. :o]
Family traditions! Ya gotta love ‘em!
James’s hair gets very bushy. Maybe they won’t have to wear swim caps if their heads are shaved.
Good Morning,
Am actually at home on a Caturday for a change. :)
The Sun is hiding behind a protective layer of cloud.
Good morning. It’s sunny here, going to be hot. There’s discussion of a tropical storm later in the weekend.
Haven’t seen the catz for a while. Jake may be in bed with Elen.
Have just checked the weather for your state capital, take cover from midnight onwards. Hardest rain tomorrow afternoon,wind on the light side.
We’re not the kind of people who are out after midnight.

Anybody else found JPB’s Spider thread? Very Interesting.
I love that video! I have a big brown hound like the dog on the right. I have always wanted to try that with her but I should have tried it when she was young. She is old and a little grumpy and I don’t think she would like something like that.
A lot of people seem very frightened.
I know they are Australian Spiders, and so are probably more heavily armed then an entire US Navy Battle fleet ,but they are safely contained within the Computer monitor. :)
And pretty colours.
(Best block the heat vents, they could leak out from the monitor....) :-0
They are tiny, but probably extremely venomous, as everything in Australia is, except the sheep. I’m surprised the sheep haven’t evolved venom there ...
* If the Tail starts to rattle drop the Shears and move away.*
*The bite from the Australian Marino Sheep is worse than the Taipan it forced into extinction. *
LOL!
Morning Joe.
FReepathon Spider is amongst us !
