More Warnings On ISIS Military and political leaders are ratcheting up their warnings regarding the threat America faces from the jihadists of ISIS. For example: |

Will The West Win This Time? President Obama interrupted his Martha's Vineyard vacation yesterday to address the beheading of American journalist James Foley. Obama mustered all the outrage and anger he is apparently capable of. |

Hamas Breaks Ceasefire Again The latest truce between Israel and Hamas unraveled yesterday after talks in Cairo failed to resolve one of the major issues -- Hamas' demand for open airports and seaports, which Israel will not agree to unless Gaza is demilitarized. The reason should be obvious to anyone. A completely open airport and seaport will mean more weapons from Iran pouring into Gaza, guaranteeing that the next war will be even more costly to Israel. |
| The Violent Left, ISIS Here |
Violent Left Descends On Ferguson During the violence last night in Ferguson, two things -- one disturbing and one hopeful -- became apparent. Nearly three dozen people were arrested, and it is clear that outsiders are streaming into Ferguson to perpetuate the violence and create chaos.

A police official shared nearly 50 arrest reports and "a large number have addresses listed in Illinois or in Texas." |
| Ferguson In Flames, Frustration And Values, Liberals Defend Rick Perry |
Ferguson In Flames Beyond a critique of Obama's comments on press freedom, I have avoided commenting on the turmoil in Ferguson, Missouri, sparked by the death of 18 year-old Michael Brown.

BREAKING NEWS: There are unconfirmed reports of renewed fighting in Ukraine, potentially involving a direct engagement between Russian and Ukrainian military forces. Watch for additional developments over the weekend. Thugs around the world, from Putin to ISIS, are on the march as they see America in retreat. "Obama Calls For Calm, Then Golfs" |

Rhetoric vs. Reality Late yesterday the Pentagon announced that observers on the ground determined that the crisis on Mt. Sinjar had eased, making a planned rescue operation "far less likely." A more accurate description would be that the crisis has simply moved. As the increasing ranks of homeless Iraqis and crucified Christians attest, the crisis posed by Islamic State jihadists is far from over. |
| Quo Vadis Barack, Pastors Speak Up, Kudos To Trent Franks |
Quo Vadis, Barack? For those not familiar with Latin, the phrase means, "Where are you going"? The president of the United States is often referred to as the leader of the free world. But neither our friends nor our foes know where he will lead us next. Earlier in the week, NBC's Chuck Todd said, "I've been trying to figure out [Obama's] doctrine now for six years. He doesn't have one. … It's almost like he pushes and pulls… And he goes back and forth…" And so it seems with Iraq. |

Ineffective Bombing In Iraq Yesterday, Lt. General William Mayville, director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, briefed reporters on the status of the bombing campaign against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) or ISIS and concluded: |
