A WARNING – AT 12:52 P.M. ET:   As we fight an election, there are people planning very bad things.  A new warning comes from the prime minister of France, and another from the Russian prime minster.   From London's Express:

Manuel Valls said he wanted to be honest with the public and tell them to expect more attacks like the ones carried out by the terror group, also known as Daesh, in France in 2015.

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference in Germany on Saturday he said: "We are at war with terrorism; we need to be sincere with our people and we need to tell them there will be other attacks, major attacks - this is something we know for sure."

Mr Valls told a group top defense officials and diplomats that after the attacks in France the world had "entered a new era".

Russian prime minister Dimitry Medvedev told the conference there is a link between the terrorist threat and the influx of migrants to Europe.

He said: "Under (the) disguise of refugees, hundreds and thousands of extremists are infiltrating other countries.

"Sometimes these are people with different culture who would like to get benefits and do nothing. There is a real threat of the destruction of a single economic space followed by cultural space and even the very European identity."

COMMENT:  You don't usually hear Russians talking that way.  With America failing to lead, other nations are now issuing the alerts that we should be issuing.  And we still have 11 months to go of one of the most reckless and irresponsible presidencies in our history.  There is no guarantee that the president who succeeds Obama will be any better.  Indeed, matters could get worse if a Democrat is elected.
