WEEK 066 / 073 — Bombs in His Own City
SEPTEMBER 17, 2016. A BOMB TEARS OPEN A STREET IN HIS OWN CITY. DEVICES IN NEW JERSEY. A BLADE IN MINNESOTA. THE WAR COMES HOME.
I would like to express my warmest regards, best wishes and condolences to all of the families and victims of the horrible bombing in NYC.
“Terrible attacks in NY, NJ and MN this weekend. Thinking of victims, their families and all Americans! We need to be strong!”
“Great job once again by law enforcement! We are proud of them and should embrace them - without them, we don't have a country!”
Once again someone we were told is ok turns out to be a terrorist who wants to destroy our country & its people- how did he get thru system?
“Under the leadership of Obama & Clinton, Americans have experienced more attacks at home than victories abroad. Time to change the playbook!”
SIXTY DAYS REMAIN. THE TWO CHAMPIONS AGREE AT LAST TO MEET FACE TO FACE — HOFSTRA. FIRST DEBATE. NO SECONDS.

This week in the saga
A weekend of fire: a bomb in a Chelsea street, devices found in New Jersey, a knife in a Minnesota mall. He sends condolences at dawn, then turns the smoke into indictment — the system let the attacker through, the officers who ran toward the blast are the realm's true shield, and under the old order there have been more attacks at home than victories abroad. The playbook, he declares, must change.
