Martin O'Malley: You Know, Climate Change Created ISIS

Do go on.

One of the things that preceded the failure of the nation state of Syria and the rise of ISIS, was the effect of climate change and the mega-drought that affected that nation, wiped out farmers, drove people to cities, created a humanitarian crisis that created the symptoms -- or rather, the conditions -- of extreme poverty that has now led to the rise of ISIS and this extreme violence.

Everyone knows there usually aren't any droughts in the arid, semi-desert terrain Syria and non-riparian Iraq.

Meanwhile, Obama finally orders flags at the White House lowered to half-mast, because he frankly despises our troops and considers them bitterly clinging subhumans.

As a wag cited at that post notes: Obama had the White House splattered in rainbows colors hours after the Obergefell decision.

But honor dead troops? Nah.

Obama lives in a pretend world, and so does his supporters. And it is important to Obama and his supporters to pretend that bad things simply don't happen under his watch.

In this way beheaded reporters are simply made to disappear from any sort of national attention.

No drama Obama.

No bummer Bammy.

A Make-Pretend President for an increasingly make-pretend America.
