It's already gone too far. It's nearly impossible to read about pretty much anything. Right now, I would like to know how it's going on the President and First Lady's international trip, where they have a schedule of doing a lot of important things with many important people. No one seems to be covering any of that. Isn't it kind of important to know what they're doing in, ahem, Saudi Arabia? With the, ahem, Pope? And oh yeah, in, Israel? Kind of important.

ALSO, there is some local news that I've been trying to find out about, but they have limited local news in my area and sold it out to get more exciting regional news. So you'll open up your local news and see something like "BURNING MAN FLIPS OFF POLICE IN 5 HOUR CHASE" and you're like, WHAT? Then you click on it and it's some city like ten hours away. So you don't even hear about stuff going on in your own city or town because it's not thrilling enough to make the cut.


I know the feeling, SocOfAutism.

Fortunately, I've managed to find a forum where discussing breaking news and current events in a humorous, thoughtful, in-depth, and intelligent way is the norm.

"Meanwhile back in the real world," good things are happening:

Immigration Arrests Jump Nearly 40 Percent Under Trump

Immigration arrests climbed yet again in April as federal agents continued to track down both criminal and non-criminal aliens in far greater numbers over the first 100 days of the Trump administration than they did under former President Obama a year ago.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) deportation officers administratively arrested 41,318 illegal aliens on civil immigration charges between Jan. 22 and April 29, according to agency data released Wednesday. That was a 38 percent jump over the 30,028 arrests made in the same time period in 2016, the final year of the Obama administration.

ICE says it has averaged about 400 arrests per day since President Trump in January signed executive orders authorizing stepped up immigration enforcement.

This guy is talking some sense. Hopefully, Trump will follow.

Philippines' Duterte may place entire country under martial law.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said on Wednesday he wouldn't rule out placing the entire country under martial law if the threat of Islamic State spreads.

Why don't you just admit you want to be governed by a dictator?
Didn't Trump was accusing Saudi Arabia of spreading terrorism by the way? Didn't his fan said that Trump would end US military intervention in foreign countries politic? And now he seem to prepare a war against Iran, with Saudi Arabia as a allies and joining them in their Sunni jihad against Shias while he should certainly not imply his country in such religious wars.

^^^all duterte BTW

is this a jocular post?

you can move to the philippines if you want, or central africa, but i prefer to live in a nation that at least tries to maintain its illusion of freedoms.

You'd really be upset with me as the president. After that little fiasco happened in the UK, I'd shut the borders down tighter than a drum and stop all incoming planes especially from the Middle East. They sure as hell wouldn't be coming and going if they were on the Watchlist! And all the police would have the biggest arsenal that I could muster - they wouldn't be playing games with these jackasses like the little pansies that we are seeing running around the UK totally gunless trying to capture terrorists with bombs and AK47's for Christ's sake. My country's safety would be first. That's why I voted for Trump - it was supposed to be America first and he better start moving and getting that damn wall built and security tightened in the US. I should tweet him about that.

It was just on Coast to Coast from Homeland Security that there is a network over here of those idiots connected to the group in the UK getting ready to do something over here. It's just a matter of time. Hopefully Trump will get his ass back and make this place into a fortress. I can only pray. I'd welcome Martial Law now that Trump is in.

See, you people over here think you are untouchable. Have something like what happened over in the UK and you'd be crying like little babies. The thing is, that was really only one guy - one guy who created all that chaos. We're still stuck on 9/11 over here. So far, we've got off easy. It's just beginning. That's their whole plan - take over the UK and then come over here. We can choose to either make it easy for them or make it hard. However you make your bed is what you're going to lie in. The UK is seeing that now with their precious open borders. I really don't know what it would take for the Left to get serious about keeping America safe - probably Armageddon.

I just want to say that I value my freedom just as much as the next person, but I would be willing to give that up if it meant everyone's safety here in America. What's funny is the Left is always saying "what's in it for the children?" The children are getting what's happening over in the UK - blown up to bits.You want more of that then vote to keep the borders here in America wide open and that's what you'll get.

22 people die and Angela starts calling for a police state because the UK has been "taken over" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Open borders save lives. In the grand scheme of things, terrorism is insignificant. If you're happy to let people die so you can say you "stood up to terrorism" then your priorities are completely wrong.

And yes we have armed police here, they're specialists who are only deployed when they are needed rather than giving a gun to everyone with a badge.

You are an apologist and appeaser to a totalitarian ideology, the religiosity of your own ideology is preventing you from thinking rationally.

Look it up on the internet. They must have brought in special forces. I would like to hear more about this "out thinking them" approach. :roll:

You answered my question on the "specialists". No comment on the rest of your statement except to keep your problem over there.

It's funny when the least-informed Americans try to tell other people what's going on in their countries. So funny, I'm cringing with laughter.

They believe the entire family is connected to other terrorist cells located in Germany, France and Belgium. (just reported on Fox)
