Terror still lives here...

"We can be grateful and thankful this incident ended with no hostages harmed. I would have preferred if the terrorist had not died (for many reasons). One reason of course, would be to find out more information. Lone wolf, or something more sinister? We will have to leave it up to the FBI now, to find that information."

Yesterday was like a peek into the past. We had a terror incident in Texas. Not by "white supremists" (whoever they are), but real terrorists - Radical Islam. Who were the victims? A Jewish synagogue, with some worshipers inside. Who was the perp? Some man from Britain, who recently came here. How he got here and how he managed to get a gun, is still being investigated. We do know however, what he wanted. He was demanding the release of Aafia Siddiiqui (also known as Lady Al-Qaeda), who is serving a 86 year sentence in a federal pen. For what? The attempted murder of an American serviceman.

A former CIA agent was on the news this am. He talked about our war on terror. Guess what? It ain't over. Not by a long shot. Someone needs to brief POTUS on that issue. This war on our own citizens? The "white supremists"? It is a red herring. A nothing burger. A distraction. Meanwhile, our southern border is wide open, where any terrorist, from any country, can waltz right in. There is a big difference between our citizens who want fair elections and honest government, and Muslin terrorists who just want us dead. Biden needs to understand that, and soon.

The hostage situation in the synagogue ended well for the hostages, as all four were rescued, unharmed. Not so well for the terrorist. He either shot himself, or the FBI swat team got him. And for what? It was however, a wakeup call for places of worship. The terrorists have long looked at our worship venues as potential "soft targets". So much so, some larger churches and synagogues have plain clothed, armed personnel, blending in to the services - just in case.

Here is an interesting side note to the aftermath of the hostage situation. This morning, Joe Biden had an impromptu presser with a few reporters. His biggest concern? How this terrorist got his gun. Biden started to talk about how we have way too many guns sold in this country, and he is trying to do something about it. Huh? How about how this terrorist got into this country? And did he steal the weapon? Buy it from a felon? Was it from an existing terror group? I guess we will find out more about the President's concern when he has his presser on Wednesday.

We can be grateful and thankful this incident ended with no hostages harmed. I would have preferred if the terrorist had not died (for many reasons). One reason of course, would be to find out more information. Lone wolf, or something more sinister? We will have to leave it up to the FBI now, to find that information.
