President Obama will discuss the San Bernardino, Calif., shootings and the broader threat of terrorism on Sunday night in a rare prime time address from the Oval Office.
The address at 8 p.m. will hit on the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and how the terror threat has "evolved, and how we will defeat it," according to the White House.
"He will reiterate his firm conviction that ISIL will be destroyed and that the United States must draw upon our values - our unwavering commitment to justice, equality and freedom - to prevail over terrorist groups that use violence to advance a destructive ideology," the White House said in a statement. The speech will come less than a week after 14 people were killed and dozens injured during a shooting in San Bernardino, which is now being investigated as an act of terrorism. It is also less than a month after the terrorist attacks in Paris, for which ISIS claimed responsibility.
Obama called the California shootings an act of terrorism earlier in the day and said it is possible the two shooters were radicalized. But during a briefing with national security aides, Obama was told there were no links yet uncovered to a broader terrorist cell.
The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has increasingly encouraged lone wolf attacks. Authorities said the female suspect in the shooting pledged her allegiance to the terror group in a Facebook post.

In October 1970, cells of the 'Front de Liberation du Quebec', a Marxist, separatist terrorist organization, kidnapped James Cross, the British Trade Commissioner and Pierre LaPorte, Vice-Premier and Labour Minister of Quebec. The 'FLQistes', as they were known, were as bunch of rag-tag terrorists (lone wolves, if you will), with no co-ordination between cells. Intelligence services in Canada knew the FLQ was disorganised, but the Mayor of Montreal and the Premier of Quebec wanted a heavy response to the kidnappings. Turd-owe called it a 'suspended insurrection' and proclaimed the War Measures Act, though it was certainly NOT needed. It suspended the right of 'habeas corpus' in Quebec and sent the Army into the streets of Montreal and Quebec City, as well as Ottawa and Provincial capitals. His actions were strongly supported by English Canada (teach those French commie busturds a lesson!), but resulted in the Particular Quebecois forming a separatist government in Québec in 1976.
Given the leanings of Turd-owe (both Papa Pierre and our current PM, his son Justin) and O'Venal in the white mosque, I could see O'Venal's speech writers copying such a speech AND introducing martial law to combat a 'suspended insurrection' by jihadists. After all, France is STILL under 'emergency measures'! What better way for a dictator to gain power than during such a crisis. Remember, one of his henchmen said to 'never let a good crisis go to waste'!
Gosh darn auto spell check!
‘Particular Quebecois’ should read ‘Parti Quebecois’
If he goes on longer than 26 min it will.
Leave your non dominant hand with the middle finger extended and up toward your tv set point at the USA President of Cair not of America.
Then, throw an overhanded sinker ball with your dominant hand with the middle fingers extended throughout and after your throw, spinning the nerf ball as it leaves your hand and extended middle finger.
Sounds a better use of your time.
That’s true, but at least you don’t break anything when you throw them.
I will be taking your sound advice tonight!
