This represents the first decline in total terrorist attacks and deaths worldwide since 2012.” […]

The media is more interested in the three or four cases of Christian businesses denying service to the GAYSTAPO.

Sounds like our future should those currently running this country remain at the helm.

well, I guess that’s the number that who ever is counting attributes to terror attacks, my guess is likely many m ore uncounted.

Avenues for fee expression blocked: You mean like anti-Trump violence, “shaming” non-liberals, climate-denier punishments?
Justice systems lacked credibility: You mean like Loretta Lynch not caring what crimes Hillary committed, but ready to send school kids to jail if they are not “sensitive enough” to Muslims and object to having boys in the girls’ bathroom?
Government corruption-Isn't that a perfect description of the last 8 years?
Does this mean we are in for a bad time?

Those numbers look exaggerated.

11,774 terror attacks?

That’s one attack every 45 minutes for an entire year.

28,000 deaths?

That’s almost 80 deaths per day.
