Like I said from that news article….Home grown terrorists!
Canada just had a racists POS kill muslims in a mosque in Montreal.
That’s an other one fueled by Trump,s rhetoric, like also that one white supremacist that killed 9 people in a church,…..they never mention those when the claim about “making America safe again”…..bunch of fucking hypocrites that only mention those very few incidents that help scaring people and make their agenda look good,…the Fat Cheeto is a disgrace.
What you just clearly explained shows how those Trump followers are fueled by tweeked news and paranoia,….anybody remembers the Oklahoma city bombing ? the Colorado movie theater shooting ? and so on ? …..those get conveniently swept under the carpet of course.

September 11, 2001 is still the worst international terrorist attack that has ever happened on American soil, killing more than 3,000 people and wounding countless others. (Since then, 142 Americans have died from terrorism at home.) But 9/11 is an outlier in another key way, too. Every terrorist attack in the US since 9/11 has been committed by people living here and not by outside foreign terrorist organizations, including the latest mass shooting in Orlando, Florida. Omar Mateen was an American citizen.
In the same time frame, however, there have been 28 deadly domestic terrorist attacks perpetrated by homegrown terrorists. Homegrown terrorism commonly refers to terrorist acts committed by a government’s own citizens. While sometimes used to describe an Islamic extremist threat, homegrown terrorism isn’t tied to any one ideological background.
“IN THE MORE THAN 360 CASES WE’VE EXAMINED SINCE SEPTEMBER 11, WE FOUND 80 PERCENT ARE US CITIZENS AND LEGAL RESIDENTS”
Of the 28 deadly homegrown terrorist attacks, only 10 of those attacks were related to Islamic extremism. The other 18 attacks were led by right-wing extremists, including, most recently, the mass shooting on November 27, 2015 that killed three and wounded nine at a Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The data from New America clearly shows that domestic terrorist attacks have, since 2001, been more commonly perpetrated by right-wing groups than by Islamic extremists. But when you look at data on arrests, the story flips: Since 2001, there have been 364 charges in the US for “jihadist terrorism,” which New America defines as violent extremism motivated by al-Qaeda and its affiliated groups, and only 182 for right-wing terrorism.
Sterman says one reason for this discrepancy is it is often hard to obtain reliable data on right-wing terrorism, as the government doesn’t always label it as terrorism, whereas jihadist terrorist activity is almost always labeled as some form of terrorism. When deciding whether to classify a violent attack as a terrorist attack, Sterman said New America focuses on whether the attack was linked to a political group or organization — meaning many hate crimes often wouldn’t fall under this kind of categorization. The presence of large weapon caches is another criterion used in their assessment, as Sterman said it speaks to the organizational aspect of the attack.
Most acts of domestic terrorism are committed by US citizens
Regardless of the type of terrorist attack — jihadist or right-wing — the overwhelming majority of terrorist attacks are committed by US-born citizens. Of the 546 individuals arrested for terrorism, 63 percent were born here. As my colleague Jennifer Williams notes, citizens living at home can radicalize and become terrorists too, even though that issue gets less attention. And as the data from New America confirms, terrorist acts committed by US citizens—not by refugees or foreigners–has formed the narrative of domestic terrorism since 9/11.
The New America data set does show that since 2001, 12 refugees have been charged with terrorism-related crimes. That number is still dwarfed, however, by the 346 American citizens charged with the same crime.
But what gets lost in the national conversation on domestic terrorism is that terrorist acts are largely perpetrated by American citizens already living inside America’s borders. Radicalization — whether it’s jihadist extremism or right-wing extremism — more often than not starts at home in the US rather than entering the country from abroad.

Of course Trump does not block countries such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt, who citizens actually flew planes into the twin towers, just so happens he does business with those countries so
NO BAN FOR YOU!
Trump Organisation has business interest, including Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Turkey, the UAE, Egypt and Indonesia and did not block them
This mornings Christmas gift: Don’t support my EO? YOUR FIRED:
Another precious Obama appointee GONE!!!!!! Draining the Swamp :8:
The “Fat Cheeto” thinks he can run a country like he runs his private business,
he already looks like a small 3rd world country dictator,…….his ass will be canned before ya’ll all trumpets will realise what happened,
Republicans all over are turning on him and Regan is turning in his grave,
The Orange marmalade head is a complete disgrace.
And just for reference, if both McCain or Romney had been elected I would have been perfectly fine with it, so I’m not leaning either way, ……..but this Asshole needs to be nuked.
Politics is just crazy to me. So much corruption and every one has an agenda. I am not affiliated with any party but damn I think it is about time someone like Trump stepped up and don’t care about what is politically correct and get the job done. GOPs should all be behind him 100% rather than showing weakness and crumbling to the public. Not sure if you guys are familiar with Reddit but I am on there just as much as I am on the Talon. You’ll see stuff that you won’t see on TV. ISIS are some ruthless bitches. Forget about surrendering to them unless you want your head to fall on your lap. Some people live in this la la world where they don’t really see what’s going on in the rest of the world, in our own backyard even. Sometimes I’ll tell my parents what ISIS are doing to hostages and they’re what??
Spot on Coda!!!
Lets see it been 10 days now and Mr. Hope & Fail 44 comes off the Golf course long enough to call Trump’s ban, a ban on religion. Wrong! And all the sheepish MSM fall right in line. How many days did it take W to start slandering Obozo? …..uh, never! But I would like to thank Odummer for with out him, the Blue team has made their progressive agenda loud and clear to anybody paying attention. BTW, keep Chucky and Nancy in the spotlight to remind us all why Trump was elected.
Any GOPers not supporting Trump will see pink slips in 2018 just as the GOP did with their choices they tried to force on voters.
I hope Trump keeps on Tweeting to call out the lying Media and shenanigans being played in the D.C. bubble.
Liberal and Conservatives.
Both of them are looking like kooks following their “chosen one”
As for Fake news Trump is the king of that.
My next door neighbor is a GOP state representative and that is close enough for me. I do hear a lot of facts straight from the horses mouth and it really brings out just how fake the news is coming out the MSM. It is no wonder the Liberals sound like brain-washed morons most of the time. Their news sources are completely corrupt.
The more these moronic Hollywood folks scream and the Democrats cry the more I like him.
He hasn’t even started on tax reform. I have a personal distaste for the EPA and am not sure 75% is enough of a cut but it is a great start. I am sure glad Harry Reid created the “nuclear” option because they will be using it a lot starting with the SCOTUS. He made the filibuster nearly completely ineffective. It’s time for the Liberals to pay the piper.
Coda you better get in line for president after Trump.

Progressive Liberalism may return —- in two generations. lol Its disappearing globally. Once Le Penn gets France then Merkel is left by her lonesome. Once Trump gets the SCOTUS replacements with the most important one being nominated tomorrow – it’s all over but the crying. Harry Reid gave the GOP the nuclear option to be able to override any filibuster. For the next two years at least the GOP will run rip shod over anything the Liberals tried to do under Numb Nuts Obama. No amount of whining or crying will help this time. Hasta la vista, baby.
- The topic ‘TRUMP wins!!!!’ is closed to new replies.
Obummer dropped the ball big time. When Scalia died in February last year he had 11 months before Trump got swore in to appoint his replacement. He didn’t do it!!!! Talk about dumb dumb. :rofl:
