While counter-ISIS sites had previously said that ISIS had claimed responsibility for the truck attack in Berlin, they had not officially done so... until now...

Roger Stone, a renowned American strategist and long time ally of Donald Trump is petitioning the incoming administration to ask a grand jury whether Hillary Clinton should be criminally prosecuted. No way should @HillaryClinton avoid prosecution #LockHerUp Sign our petition to the @realDonaldTrump Administration https://t.co/5vZ9j7OUog — Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr) December 19, 2016 Stone said on Monday that Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server to exchange sensitive data between 2009 and 2013 should not go unpunished.
German police are on high alert and have said they may have arrested the wrong man over the Berlin attack, and the real culprit could still be at large and armed and dangerous. Germany’s chief prosecutor Peter Frank told a press conference: “We must get used to the idea that he was possibly not the perpetrator or that he didn’t belong to the group of perpetrators” Police meanwhile have urged people to remain “particularly vigilant” and to report “suspicious movement” to a special hotline.
After saying in 2008 that, "for the first time in my adult life, I'm proud of my country," Michelle Obama, after spending 8 years in the White House, has declared to Oprah that Trump's election marks the end of "hope" for America and, as such, was an extremely "painful" experience for her to endure on November 8th.
But before we progress, here is a short blast from the past to set the tone:
Following yesterday's deadly terrorist attack, in which a truck driver rammed into a crowded Christmas market, killing 12 and injuring 48, the German mood has been dour, deteriorating further this morning when the interior minister of the German state of Saarland said on Tuesday that Germany is in a state of war. "We must say that we are in a state of war, although some people, who always only want to see good, do not want to see this," the minister, Klaus Bouillon, told German broadcaster SR.
