Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly on Friday said the terror threat is worse than most realize, saying some people would "never leave the house" if they knew the truth.
“I was telling [Fox host] Steve [Doocy] on the way in here, if he knew what I knew about terrorism, he’d never leave the house in the morning,” Kelly said on “Fox & Friends.”
He noted there were four major terror attacks in the last week — in England, Egypt, the Philippines and Indonesia — "by generally the same groups."
“It’s everywhere. It’s constant. It’s nonstop. The good news for us in America is we have amazing people protecting us every day. But it can happen almost here anytime.”

But somehow we are just supposed to let tens of thousands More Walk Right In?
I am amazed and in awe how agencies in the US have so far stopped major attacks in the US. There is so much going on every day that we do not see.
Islamic Terrorists.
Say it.
Implicit in that comment is the admission that the US Federal Government is failing to uphold its end of the social contract.
He needs to inform some Federal judges.
If Americans knew the truth about the DEEP STATE, they’d take to the streets and demand for the liberal/rino politicians heads.
These people have made America unsafe because they’ve allowed our enemies into this country and set up shop.
And they did it despite obama and his administration
Well that’s what 2 courts have now ruled. At least for now. Fidiots. There is NOTHING in either EO that violates the constitution. So, how the hell can some inmates stay of execution be ruled on the day of by SCOTUS but these 2 EOs are gonna linger for who knows how long? And the longer they are held up, they higher the chance of some assclowns bringing the threat of terror closer and closer?
Apparently it is within the powers of a judge to enjoin the US from defending itself.
Evil LOSERS! ;-)
People generally prefer to raise their offspring in peace. It is one of the most basic drives for humans.
There will be a resetting.
My hard core, Leftist brother will not engage on the subject of Radical Islamists. He simply says ‘I just don’t think it will ever touch me’. And he’s probably right, but aren’t the Leftists supposed to be the ones who care about everybody?? When I brought up San Bernardino in Feb, 2016, he said ‘what happened in San Bernardino?’. He knew the FBI was trying to break into someone’s IPhone, but was unaware of the terrorist attack in San Bernardino. He only watches the alphabet news. Big Media is doing serious damage to this country by only reporting what they want the sheeple to know and ignoring the matters that directly impact the safety of all Americans.
This is what the American tax payer gets after bankrolling the worlds most powerful military for 70 years?
By all means, Secretary Kelly, give the people the benefit of your knowledge on the terrorism threat that might keep people from leaving their houses.
I suspect that if that is true, and we have no reason to doubt you Mr. Secretary, that the American people would actually insist on action, rather than the typical bullshit that passes for action by our government on terrorism, even in this new administration.
The real reason the government does not share this sort of information is not to protect the population from worry, it’s because they are worried we might wonder why we are paying them if they can identify threats, yet do nothing about them.
We can all probably write the statement from DHS after the next major terrorist attack in the US:
(three days after the attack)
“We had intelligence on the perpetrators of this heinous attack - they were on our radar. We offer our condolences to the victims and their families, and encourage all Americans to have 72 hours of food and water in their homes and to “say something” whenever they “See something””
So Secretary Kelly, why don’t you make it a priority to explain what you know about the terrorist threat in America to Americans, and let Americans decide whether they wish to stay at home in fear, or address the threat to them and their loved ones more directly - or is your concern more about protecting terrorists and those who support them from Americans?
So then, tell us, the American people...THE TRUTH.
Here is another truth. Americans by in large are capable of protecting ourselves.
Oh my gosh...Mr. Smith's carrying a gun....Oh,the horror of it all. If law abiding citizens began carrying long arms, side arms on a regular basis...we'd all be safer.
Article out a day or so ago, concealed carry permits up 215%, murder rates down by 40%. No accident here.
Granted, some do not have the aptitude nor gut for it. That said, we are responsible for our own safety.
It has happened here several times. The problem is each attack is explained away, “don't rush to judgment” statements, etc. Unless someone blows up time square, the liberal judges, brain dead and naysayers will never get it. It has to hit them personally before even a 'remote' possibility exists that terrorists might be responsible. A major attack will take place somewhere here in America I'd bet the farm on that.
All this secret squirrel crap is getting old. The only reason it has to be so secret is that they allow the threats to remain here and know we would be angry.
If you don’t ant rat bites you have to eliminate all rats.
