WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- In testimony before Congress on Tuesday, National Intelligence Director James Clapper said the Islamic State will likely attempt an attack on U.S. soil this year and that North Korea has restarted a plutonium reactor.
Clapper said the Islamic State has been infiltrating migrant groups posed as refugees fleeing from Iraq and Syria in efforts to spread across borders. He warned the foremost terrorist threat to the United States is the Islamic State and its eight branches, including Boko Haram, which changed its name to the Islamic State West Africa Province after formally pledging allegiance in 2015.

With as much appeasing of muslims as 0bama does, it is quite likely we will be attacked.
Will this lead to an October Surprise, a Presidential postponement of the November election?

First time an administration official has acknowledged that this hydra has many heads.
FReepers long knew that Boko Harmam = ISIS-Africa.

An ISIS attack carried out by “refugees” would all but ensure Trump’s election.
To: PROCON
No, I don’t think anything will affect the elections, because none of the leading candidates (including the insanely blustering but meaningless Donald Trump) really has a plan to deal with Islam. Therefore, there’s no threat and elections can go on as planned.
There probably will be an attack, though, just to remind us who’s boss.

Martial Law.
As Clapper would say, “No, not knowingly” ;)

i used to think not. yet some of his EO’s point the other way. McConnell is going to give him total war powers too.

It’s “martial” law, meaning military rule. Not to be confused with the Marshall Plan.

Cannot possibly be a surprise. Soldiers have been shuffling across our Southern border for months without ceasing. They've even stopped the pretend of bringing women and children with them. Just fighting age men now.
All with 0's blessing and best wishes.

Yes, I’ve read your “fictional” stories.

About as fine a Marshall as you’ll ever find. Has there even been a better lawman than Matt Dillon? I don’t think so,

Also most newer Muslim immigrants tend to stick together for at least two generations. After that they are so Americanized that they speak ONLY English and have forgotten some of their own native tongue. Many have married born-in-the-USA-Americans as well.
Boko who? A relative of Yoko Ono? Yoko Boko?

No such authority exists.
That is true. Yet at what time has that stopped 0 from acting anyway he wants?
