This CNN story on people fleeing Mosul is gut-wrenching.

Much respect to the "Free Burma Rangers"... had never heard of them before.

Mattis' description of the strategy was spot on. Don't just liberate these places. Surround them. Make sure none of these Daesh animals can flee to set up shop elsewhere.

Good for Tillerson. :clap:
I have no problem with this and I'd hope they wouldn't host official Christmas or Easter parties as well. :nod:
Well, Christmas is a federal holiday. So the nothing wrong with the federal govt celebrating a federal holiday. No different than celebrating the other 9 federal holidays.
On the other hand, Ramadan & Easter aren't federal holidays...

Non-political event.

PHL 17 Reporter Fired After Tirade Against Cop Caught On Camera

"After 3 warnings and other customers were complaining she was asked to leave. When she got kicked out she assaulted (kicking, punching, and eye poking) 3 of the employees in bar area right outside the showroom and then outside she mock spit in the mangers face when a cop came," Sylvince wrote on Facebook. "She verbally abused this poor cop who was trying to keep the peace at first."

Police said Campbell was cursing and spit at a the club manager and was then taken into custody.

Police said she then kicked an officer in the leg several times while being taken to the patrol car, then kicked the door and windows of the patrol car after being placed inside.

Philly Magazine reports Campbell has been fired from PHL 17 and spoke with Campbell in a phone interview.

"That’s not me or how I talk or act or anything at all," she told the magazine. "I don’t know what to do. I feel ruined and embarrassed for me and my family."

Campbell told the magazine she had one drink at the club, but had a few before attending the show, and thinks she may have been drugged.

This is why the West is fucked, and why we need to stop letting in immigrants from 3rd world countries.

Greta Van Susteren fired by MSNBC.

http://money.cnn.com/2017/06/29/media/g ... index.html
The same source said that Van Susteren was informed that she had not been confrontational enough in her on-air presentation, perhaps a suggestion that MSNBC is once again embracing its liberal roots and adopting a more adversarial posture toward President Donald Trump.
