Barker's Newsbites: Friday, March 13, 2015
Assuming this is real...
Folks... we have a problem...
UPDATE: A call placed to the city revealed the Mr. Muhammad is no longer employed by the city as Village Clerk. Follow-up calls to determine when he left the post were not responded to or went unanswered.
So... apparently the cretin in question claiming to be John C. Muhammad in the original video - City Manager of Uplands Park, MO. - actually was John C. Muhammad... now former City Manager of Uplands Park, MO.
Frankly... mixed feelings: Obviously I'm happy he's no longer in a position of authority... but what's it say that he was?

The war against the Islamic State has killed thousands of fighters and even some mid-level battlefield commanders, but the organization's senior leadership and nerve center remain largely untouched, according to U.S. military and intelligence officials.
(*SNORT*)
* AND JUST OUT OF CURIOUSITY... HOW MUCH HAS IT COST US IN NATIONAL TREASURE - DOLLARS AND CENTS - TO "KILL THOUSANDS OF FIGHTERS?"
These officials and other experts tracking the terror group tell us that the Islamic State's Shura and Sharia councils, the advisory bodies that help inform the major decisions of the group's leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, remain intact, notwithstanding one close call in November for Baghdadi. Although airstrikes and military campaigns have killed several regional administrators and designated “governors,” the Islamic State has quickly replaced them and maintains its command-and-control capabilities.
(*CLAP...CLAP...CLAP*)
This assessment of progress against the Islamic State differs sharply from public statements by top Obama administration officials as recently as last month, including Secretary of State John Kerry and retired General John Allen, the president's special coordinator for the coalition against the Islamic State. In February, Allen said that half the group's leaders in Iraq had been killed.
(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference also in February, Kerry expanded that claim to account for the group’s leadership in Syria as well.
* OF COURSE HE DID...!!!
(*SNICKER*)
