New year, new terror risks to America

The new year in America sadly kicked off with terrorist attacks that left scores dead and injured. But more may be on the way. The warnings to America about the threats of radical Islamist terror have been on the walls for years now. It's just that too many political leaders, particularly in the Democratic Party, have failed to acknowledge them and act accordingly. Thankfully, Donald Trump is taking over the White House and bringing with him a team of officials who fully understand you can't fight terror with fancy talk and diplomacy and concessions. But that doesn't automatically erase the risk. As Israel Ellis, author of a book about the warning signs of terror, says: America must wake up and smell the terrorism. Our nation has been ignoring the signs of looming attacks for far too long, he says.
