Nadia Murad, a Yazidi who escaped captivity in 2014, told the Senate Homeland Security committee that “the USA must act. We must terminate Daesh (ISIS) and all such terror.” “Daesh will not give up their weapons unless we force them to give up their weapons,” she testified, with the assistance of a translator. “The Yazidi people cannot wait.”

Is America Really Coming Apart, As Charles Murray Suggests?
A government big and powerful enough to cause widespread psychosis after presidential elections is a government without much legitimacy.
