Jordan Avenges killing of it’s pilot

Two days ago, an ISIS video emerged showing what seemed to be the burning of one of a Jordanian pilot. Jordan retaliated by sending fighter jets and bombard the ISIS capital of Raqqa in Syria. Jordan’s king, Abdullah II, flew to the home of the slain pilot, Lt. Moath al-Kasasbeh, and showed his family the flying aircraft as proof that Jordan was retaliating with force. This attack on ISIS was only one of the two attacks that happened on Thursday in Syria. It was reported that 10 militants were eliminated. While on Wednesday, Jordan executed two ISIS militants, one a would-be suicide bomber and a former al Qaeda member.

A questionable decision to pass, a brawl and other key Super Bowl moments

Super Bowl XLIX was definitely one to remember. The Seattle Seahawks had the lead the majority of the game, going back and forth with the New England Patriots. When the clock began to count down, thats when the game started. People are saying Russell Wilson made the wrong play. However, Wilson’s Coach told him to make that exact play. But why would he do that? Many are starting to believe that this game was rigged. There is no reason that The Seahawks should have lost that game. They were so close to bringing the championship home! Who do you think the blame should be put on?
