THE TERROR REALITY – AT 8:55 A.M. ET:  We are not winning the war on terror.  From the Washington Times: 

There have been more U.S.-based jihadi terrorism cases in 2015 than in any full year since 9/11, according to a “Threat Snapshot” released Tuesday by the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, who asserted that U.S. officials must “do more to take the fight to the enemy overseas at its source.”

“Otherwise, we’re going to see the threat picture here at home steadily worsen,” Rep. Michael T. McCaul, Texas Republican, said in a statement with the report, which maintains that the number of U.S.-based jihadi cases has increased three-fold over the past five years — from 39 in July 2010 to 122 at present.

Counterterrorism analysts outside the government caution against drawing broad conclusions from such statistics, but Tuesday’s report suggests the surge can be tied to the rise of the Islamic State in Syria, Iraq and beyond.

COMMENT:  The danger to Americans is growing, not decreasing.  The Iran nuclear deal, which will result in the infusion of vast wealth into Iran, the world's largest terror sponsor, will not improve things.

It is only a matter of time before the next major terror attack within the United States.
