How Michigan, Virginia and New York attacks reveal elevated US terror threat
Three acts of ideologically inspired violence in the last week have laid bare the heightened terrorism threat in the United States – is the country equipped to deal with it?

A series of ideologically motivated attacks across the United States over the past week has underscored a significantly heightened terrorism threat, raising concerns about the nation's preparedness.
These incidents include two men in New York City, reportedly inspired by Islamic State, who brought powerful homemade bombs to a protest outside the mayoral mansion.
Separately, in Michigan, a naturalised citizen from Lebanon rammed his vehicle into a synagogue before being shot by security personnel.
In Virginia, a man previously convicted on terrorism charges was heard shouting "Allahu akbar" before opening fire at a university, an attack that officials stated concluded when students killed the assailant.
These three acts of violence emerge as the US finds itself engaged in conflict with Iran, further straining a counterterrorism system already weakened by significant departures of experienced national security professionals from the FBI and Justice Department.
Homeland security was started after Islamic terrorists bombed the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Isn't it ironic that the democrat party has decided to do away with it by not funding it when the US is in the midst of a war with the most radical Islamic country in the world as their country is terrorized around them?
The Democrat party are all a bunch of traitors that think that the US regime is far worse than the Iranian regime. It is the same group that refused to stand and clap when asked if they represented American citizens rather than illegal immigrants during the State of the Union address.
