As Donald Trump takes the reins from Barack Obama on January 20, 2017, he inherits an enormous security problem.  It is very similar to the one handed to George W. Bush in 2001.  Obama, even more so than Bill Clinton, has ignored the threat that Islam poses to the western world in general and the United States in particular.  2001 brought us the crisis and tragedy of 9/11.  What will Obama’s feckless attitude towards the threats we face bring?  One thing is for sure.  They ARE coming.

The continuing series of attacks on the civilian population of Europe by ISIS inspired terrorists is a microcosm of what could, and probably will, happen here unless we completely change our attitude towards Muslim “refugees” and secure our borders.  As I’ve said in previous posts on this forum, it is naive to believe that there haven’t been a significant number of wolves among the sheep who have flowed across our borders for years.  We tend to focus on the criminal element, ignoring the terrorists who have come into our midst.

President Obama’s agenda for the final month of his presidency is to pardon or commute the sentences of convicted criminals on a unprecedented scale.  He is about to release another group of the worst of the worst who remain in the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba to Italy and Saudi Arabia.  This is unbelievable!

One advisor to Trump likens the current administration’s policy towards terrorism as the “Goalie Offense”.  It would be like having a hockey team consisting only of goalies defending the net, and none taking the puck to the opposing teams goal.  Eventually, someone will get thru the defense and win by scoring a goal.  The only question is how serious the terrorist event or events will be. The time for a good offense is now.
