Aas these months leading up to the midterm elections have shown us, the Democrat Party has not recovered from Hillary Clinton's loss in November 2016. For people who shout FORWARD and CHANGE, the progressive wing of the Democrat Party shows no interest in moving FORWARD or in CHANGE. Everyone else must move forward and change though. They cannot accept the fact that the majority of Americans, even within the party, do not hold hard leftist views. Democratic leaders, however, have absorbed this information and have begun to back more so-called "moderate" Democrats in an effort to flip the House and even the Senate to the annoyance of left-leaning progressive Democrats.

Wait, what? Did the Democrats actually listen!? Has Hell frozen over? For the past few weeks, I've blogged about the Democrats' loss of registered voters, how millennials have turned their backs to the Democrats because they want jobs, and a Democrat pollster's recommendation the party concentrate on the economy. Maybe, just maybe, the Democrats have opened their ears and eyes! Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has urged Democrats to spend more time on economic issues instead of bashing President Donald Trump.

Two Iraqi officials announced that an operation between U.S. and Iraqi forces led to the capture of five top ISIS members. From The New York Times:
The three-month operation, which tracked a group of senior Islamic State leaders who had been hiding in Syria and Turkey, represents a significant intelligence victory for the American-led coalition fighting the extremist group and underscores the strengthening relationship between Washington and Baghdad.
