What happened to the ISIS thread?
Well I just saw this on CNN reporting that a major American planned assault on ISIS on the city of Mosul is going to happen in the next few weeks. Now why would CNN report this?

What the Heck?! Thread is closed now so I'll put it here (while admitting this is neither Breaking nor World news):
(it's some very early report, but I posted this one so that you can immediately see the country map inside it -- the number of dead is now nine, and it appears the shooter picked up the pub at random). Let me tell you here this: I wished to believe this would not happen in this country, and I was wrong :-( Actually we were sitting in a pub while this news popped up and I was the first to say: Hey, he could've come here! (which was irrational as that tragedy happened some 200 miles from Prague). No more posts from me today.

Supposedly the perpetrator has a gun license for hunting in Czechoslovakia which is hard to obtain...according to CCTV last night. Anyway my condolences to all of the victims families.

This is just another series of blunders by Cristina. Argentina’s economy contracted 1.5 per cent last year and before growing 2.6 per cent in 2016, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
I can tell you that many Argentines joined in the chorus of disapproval, ridiculing the government for focusing on new bank notes when inflation - thought unofficially to be running at 40 per cent - was of serious concern.
A 50 peso note is now in circulation to honor the Falklands. Soon we will need one for 500 pesos in honor of inflation. COL (Cry out loud)
Argentina's new 'Malvinas' bank note ridiculed by Falkland Islanders
New 50-peso note which aims to bring "into daily use" the Argentine claim to the Falkland Islands mocked by critics of President Kirchner
(Daily Telegraph) - Argentina's redesign of their 50 peso note to include the Falklands has been mocked by residents of the islands.
The new bank note will go into circulation next month, Alejandro Vanoli, president of the central bank, announced on Monday. The design of the note was , on the 32nd anniversary of the Argentine invasion of the British archipelago, which in Argentina is termed the Malvinas.
Mr Vanoli on Monday gave the bank's reasons for the redesign, which is being launched under the slogan: "Malvinas Islands: A sovereign love."
He said the note is aimed at "incorporating a new element of daily use to the inalienable demand over the Malvinas Islands."
The 50 peso note, worth £3.70, has been designed and produced by Argentina's Mint House, and shows the map of the South Atlantic territories and another map of Latin America and the Caribbean - meant to show the support Argentina has rallied among regional nations in its long-standing sovereignty dispute against London.
On the other side features an image of Gaucho Antonio Rivero - an Argentine rancher, or gaucho, who in 1833 is alleged to have headed the resistance fight against the British occupation of the archipelago.

This woman seems delusional...and I am sorry Mirage...an abject embarrassment...to Argentina.
When I think of her terrible blundering (and probably criminal dealings) with that Prosecutor who was killed.
Her unbelievable comments about Chinese whom she is seeking to make a deal with.
Her over the top comments on the Falklands/Maldives.
Now going ahead and printing these new notes.
Like I say, she seems just completely delusional and caught up in what she thinks is her own grandeur.
But that is just my opinion from afar.
