MURDEROUS IDEOLOGY NOW WITH EDITORIAL PAGE
The group cited Israel’s closure of the al-Aqsa Mosque compound on the Temple Mount as justification, a site Israeli authorities closed to Muslim worshippers in late February citing security risks.
The Bondi Beach attack, which ISIS invoked as a model, occurred on December 14, 2025, when a father and son killed at least 15 people at a Hanukkah gathering in Sydney.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed the attack was inspired by ISIS ideology, and ISIS flags were found in the attackers’ vehicle.
On December 18, 2025, ISIS released al-Naba issue 526 featuring an editorial titled “The Pride of Sydney,” praising the attackers and calling for further attacks, singling out specific countries including Belgium.
In a dazzling display of moral accounting, ISIS apparently decided that a closed mosque compound in Jerusalem was a perfect excuse for a murder campaign that somehow managed to include a Hanukkah massacre in Sydney, complete with ISIS flags in the getaway décor and a father-son family plan that left at least 15 dead. Then, like a group newsletter no one should be subscribing to, al-Naba issue 526 rolled out “The Pride of Sydney” to praise the slaughter and shop for more attacks, even name-dropping Belgium as if global terrorism were now a touring act with merch. Meanwhile, in Syria, ISIS ambushed a U.S.-Syrian patrol near Palmyra, killing two Army soldiers and an interpreter, which predictably earned Operation Hawkeye Strike—the military version of saying, “Fine, if you insist on being the worst possible neighbors, we’ll start the airstrike playlist.”

Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins, Mister Guitar (1924)June 20, 2026
Atkins got his first guitar by making a trade with his brother, and it was arguably the best deal he ever made. Although he struggled with shyness and suffered from severe asthma—he had to sleep sitting up and often fell asleep still holding his guitar—he became an accomplished guitarist and went on to release several hit records, develop a signature line of guitars, and help create country music's "Nashville sound." What did "Mr. Guitar," as he came to be known, trade to get that first guitar?

West Virginia DayJune 20, 2026
West Virginia Day is a state holiday in West Virginia to celebrate its joining the Union in 1863 as the 35th state. The creation of the state was a result of the Civil War. The settlers of western Virginia defied the state's vote to secede from the Union, and on June 20 West Virginia formally entered the Union as an anti-slave state. The day is marked with ceremonies at the state capitol in Charleston and at the West Virginia Independence Hall in Wheeling. It was there that the conventions were held to declare West Virginia's independence from Virginia.

Black TeaJune 20, 2026
Excluding water, tea is the most widely consumed drink on the planet, drunk either hot or cold by half the world's population. The vast majority of tea sold in the West is black tea, made from fermented leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Generally stronger in flavor and more caffeinated than the green and oolong varieties, black tea retains its flavor for several years and has long been an article of trade, serving as a form of currency into the 19th century in what countries?
