People Are Saying. . .

By Alec Boulton

First daughter Malia Obama has decided not to attend Adlai Stevenson University.  In an exclusive interview at an undisclosed location she said that the decision was a hard one to make.  She said she will especially miss the Humans v. Zombie competition. Malia is planning to take a “gap year,” and then plans to attend a school in Cambridge Massachusetts.

The “Green Zone” is a heavily fortified area of nearly four square miles in the center of Bagdad.  It is famous for being the most secure location for American personnel stationed in Iraq as well as the site of the Iraqi Parliament.  Last week thousands of followers of radical Shi’ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr stormed the compound.  They left after a few hours.  There were no casualties, but the attack marks a new level of instability in Iraq which may hinder American efforts to secure peace and combat ISIS in the region.

With Ted Cruz dropping out of the race for the Republican Presidential nomination, Donald Trump has come one step closer to being the President of the United States.  It is difficult to imagine anyone less qualified by temperament or experience for the office.
