After issuing a promise to carry out an attack on Washington D.C., ISIS has said in a new video message they will deploy a suicide bomber to New York City's Times Square.
New York City officials, including Mayor Bill DeBlasio and NYPD Chief Bill Bratton, held a press conference late last night to encourage New Yorkers to remain aware of their surroundings, but not to change their daily habits.
"We cannot be intimidated, and that's what terrorists seek to do. They seek to create fear. They seek to intimidate. We will not be intimidated, and we will not live in fear," Bratton said.
"We are aware of the newly-released ISIS video that mentions Times Square. While some of the video footage is not new, the video reaffirms the message that New York City remains a top terrorist target," the NYPD released in a statement late last night. "While there is no current or specific threat to the City at this time, we will remain at a heightened state of vigilance and will continue to work with the FBI, the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the entire intelligence community to keep the City of New York safe. In addition, we are continuing to deploy additional Critical Response Command (CRC) teams throughout the City, out of an abundance of caution."
With the upcoming Thanksgiving parade and holiday season, which includes the annual celebration of New Year's eve in Times Square, it's a popular time to be in New York City.
Wasn’t it all the liberals who made sarcastic remarks when GWB said the same thing after 9/11? Short memories in these twerps!
“”I am so disappointed. I thought they said they were going to attack Washington D.C.!””
None of us can be faulted for our thoughts at this point. I know what my doctor told me this morning when I had an appointment and he said he couldn’t say it to anyone but me. I told him I felt the same way but I hesitated to say it out loud! How far will we be pushed - even by those elected and sworn to protect us? HA! Those of us with a brain that we use know that protection is going to be up to us and no one else.

Well stated..good luck to you and to all of us who love our country.
