Warning: This video is violent and graphic. It is not for children to watch.
ISIS posted this video, The Clash of Swords, Part 4, online to show exactly what it is doing in Iraq. This video is violent and for adults only. There are scenes of executions, bombings, the use of IED's on vehicles, and more acts of violence. The production and propaganda value are good. Sickeningly good.

A mother of a little girl wrote on Facebook that the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant on North State Street asked the family to leave because "her face scared the other diners." The girl was the victim of a vicious pit bull attack in Simpson County. The attack left her face severely injured and scarred. The motherlater posted that a representative of the restaurant chain asked her for more information after she published her Facebook post. The Facebook posts are below.

WSJ: Where are the grown-ups?
Kimberly Strassel argues in the Wall Street Journal that one of the main reasons for the Obama's administrations mishaps in foreign policy is not the inattentiveness of the President but rather the lack of serious people in his foreign policy appointments. This column is worth reading for partisans on both sides as it shows what type of people are running foreign policy. She writes:
Latest filing for Cochran PAC

Directive from management.
There is much more traffic on this site due to the Senate race. More readers, more arguments, and more friction. Means more tempers are lost. Here is the deal. Watch the language. A comment with the "STFU" acronym will not be approved. Calling each other "idiot" and "dumbass" will get a comment zapped. Referring to politicians by those names is a different matter. You guys are making great points. The comments are appreciated. Just act like you've seen a message board before. NOW for Kenneth Stokes posts, there are no rules.

Bobo goes to the funny farm
Circuit Judge William Chapman ordered Joshua Bobo (age 28) transferred to a Brookhaven psychiatric facility in March. Ridgeland police arrested the 28-year old man in January after he stabbed a pharmacist with a syringe at Walmart, carjacked an older woman in the parking lot, ran back inside the store, swallowed H202, and then took some pills. Mr. Bobo was serving a sentence of supervised probation for five years for a previous conviction when the Ridgeland incident took place.

National Review takes a pretty good stab at why McDaniel did so well.
We haven't spent much time on this website analyzing the Senate race results. This National Review article will get us off to a good start. NR said the real reason McDaniel won (let's face it, he won even though he did not reach 50% of the vote.) was due to the media strategy. Henry Olsen writes:
Good advice for both campaigns
Since both campaigns can't seem to stay out of trouble, here is some good advice.
Pieces of silver can pay for alot of outrage.
Warning: Jackassery alert. Be advised.
Jeremiah Boddy said in a Youtube video how disgusted he was that the Cochran campaign canvassed at his church. Mr. Boddy is a black conservative who supports Chris McDaniel. This video was produced in response to this post that broke the news about a Cochran ad in the Mississippi Link. Mr. Boddy later went out the KIM Waaaaaaade show to profess more outrage. Just one little fact he left out of all these diatribes.

Food for thought from the WSJ:
The Wall Street Journal published a very penetrating editorial about the Senate race in the weekend edition. It could have mentioned Mr. McDaniel being a State Senator but it still made some good points.
