An Illinois politician says President Obama is addressing the latest terrorist threat all wrong.

While Senator Dick Durbin used a press release to praise the plan Obama laid out Sunday night to battle the Islamic State group in the wake of attacks in Paris and San Bernadino, Republican Congressman Rodney Davis of Taylorville says, what plan?

Taylor said he believes the president dropped the ball on actually putting forth a strategy that many of them in congress are willing to work with when it comes to addressing ISIS, who Taylor says is recruiting via social media.

Davis says he agrees with Obama that ISIS needs to be eradicated, but he had the opportunity to do it over a year ago, and failed.  He says Obama has let politics get in the way of action.

In other State news, November was warm and wet, but it did not necessarily start out that way.

Jim Angel, state climatologist based at the Illinois State Water Survey at the University of Illinois in Champaign, said he was concerned about dry conditions at the beginning of the month, but those concerns were quickly quashed around the middle of the month. He said the state ended up with 5.6 inches of precipitation, which is about two inches above average and is now the third wettest November on record.

The leaders for wet Novembers: 1985 and 1992, with nine and 6.5 inches, respectively.

The temperature averaged 46, the tenth warmest Illinois November. Angel says November showed a swing of 80 degrees: 79 one day in southern Illinois and minus-1 another day in western Illinois.

December, says the National Weather Service, shows a good chance of above-average temperatures for Illinois.
