ISIS, or the Islamic State, was again the focus of the Drudge Report on Friday.

The website linked to two articles, one about an “ominous tweet” that connected the terrorist group to Chicago.

A photo tweeted by an apparent ISIS member or supporter a few weeks ago had this text:

“#AmessagefromISIStoUS
We are in your state
We are in your cities
We are in your streets
You are our goals anywhere.”

The picture has two photos–one taken at Chicago’s Old Republic Building, 307 N. Michigan Ave and the other at the White House, according to CBS Chicago.

The CBS report comes as Sen. James Inhofe, a Republican from Oklahoma, said that there could be a potential terrorist attack on US soil by ISIS operatives.

“We’re in the most dangerous position we’ve ever been in as a nation,” Sen. Inhofe said, according to Fox 25.

“ISIS, they are really bad terrorists, they’re so bad even Al Qaida is afraid of them,” Inhofe added. “They’re crazy out there and they’re rapidly developing a method of blowing up a major U.S. city and people just can’t believe that’s happening.”

Inhofe blamed President Obama for the situation.

“He’s [President Obama] going to have to come up with something that we’re going to do because they’re holding another hostage in place and the problem is, the President says all these things and he never does them,” Inhofe said. “This idea they’re coming in, infiltrating the United States. Sure some are coming in that are associated with ISIS, but a majority of them are still over there and they are undoing a lot of the good that has been done,” he said.
