Being bipartisan; recognizing America's penchant for humor and horror (in the tradition of American comic Richard Pryor), I raise to take Donald Trump's good advice: this, dear readers, is what I see going on and abroad and at home in the US, what its challenges with ISIS are!

ISIS’s two most important drivers are its economic engine, its illegal oil sales and tributes; and its recruiting, in the Mideast and abroad, especially in the US. ISIS's social media and social networks successfully have successfully inspires domestic lone wolves and family/friends--a greater problem than attacks from terrorists who have gained illegal entry!

A focus on domestic lone wolves and outliers is the right methodology: the straight lines of violence against America have internal, psychological turns that should be reviewed and considered. Disaffected youth--at home and globally--are tuned to conquerors and scapegoats, religion, race, inventing themselves through violence.

Tell Trump border wars are a relic of military campaigns like Korea (the 38th parallel) and Vietnam (the 17 parallel), whose fighting and peace borders centered on a latitude parallel. Globalization provides new ways of waging violent struggle. Map these new ways without regard to ideology; knowing the methods are more important than debating the justifications. Fear will influence the methods of some, but fear in the long run has a negative effect--no army plans from fear! No lasting victory is won in fear!

ISIS justifies violence as a return strike for the West's long history of invader violence and disrespect. The radicalized dialogue listens and looks at the screams of the West for military attacks, bombings, ground troops as more evidence of campaigns of death. This posturing attracts new fighters.

To ISIS offers of comradeship, pay, and brides, American youth counter as outliers, reveling in silence and defiance--committing suicide after attacks at home in this new war declared over bad behavior and bad blood, and a god who supposedly finds divine favor in death.

Trump never considers the consequences of his mouth. Nothing sensible for ISIS's defeat will emerge from him. Its poison is a new stir of the spoon. Put behavior before faith. For one, it puts first the monstrous need to kill.
