Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly issued a stark warning Tuesday, calling the risk of a terror attack on the United States "as threatening today" as it was on 9/11.
Specifically, Kelly outlined the danger posed by homegrown terrorists and foreign fighters from around the world who have traveled to Syria and Iraq with plans to return home.
"The threat to our nation and our American way of life has not diminished," Kelly said during a speech at George Washington University. "In fact, the threat has metastasized and decentralized, and the risk is as threatening today as it was that September morning almost 16 years ago."

Terrifying, then again it is coming from CNN.
Terrorists have been entering the country for the last 8 years with Obama doing little or nothing about it. Maybe even with his help. The 9/11 terrorists trained for it right here under the nose of Bill Clinton, with the FBI unable to do anything about it because of new rules that he himself implemented. Yet they say the attack itself came “under Bush’s watch”. I suspect they will say the same thing about Trump.
Civilization was fated to travel a difficult road when our “leaders” falsely proclaimed that “we are not at war with Islam”.
Great job removing the threat DHS. Where is the thumbs up buton....
...fighters from around the world who have traveled to Syria and Iraq with plans to return home...
You mean those Syrian refugees Obama snuck in?
So frisking grandmothers and toddlers at the airport hasn’t lessened the risk? Shocking. Maybe more diversity training will make us safe.
I don’t see the large-scale coordinated attacks like 9/11 happening again.
I do see a day where a dozen small attacks (guns, machetes, trucks driven into crowds) happen.
Headline should read “DHS leeches pushing for more taxpayer loot”.
According to Kelly, the FBI currently has open terrorism investigations in all 50 states, and since 2013, there have been 37 ISIS-linked plots to attack the US.
Law enforcement agencies have investigated 36 cases of homegrown terrorism over the last 12 months, illustrating what Kelly called an "unprecedented spike" in a type of violence that is "notoriously difficult to predict and control."
How many attacks occurred on American soil under Obambi’s watch, again? I lost count.
Civilization was fated to travel a difficult road when our “leaders” falsely proclaimed that “we are not at war with Islam”.

We *aren’t* at war with Islam.
Islamic Terrorism is a tool harnessed by the CIA to achieve *both* foreign and domestic goals. A two-fer-one Langley special, available every day of the week with no limit.
Random coincidence the dangerous countries listed (Iraq, Syria) are ones overthrown by USGov or in the process of being overthrown by USGov?
Weird huh?
Typically these statements come out just before an attack - from FBI/DHS Known-wolves.
Weird huh?
And there is the “intelligence” “community” again waging *their* jihad against encryption.
Enemies, traitors, liars.
Finally the truth is starting to come out now Trumps people are in charge.
So how many workplace disturbances, or whatever they called them, were there?
Don’t flatter the West. Islam was at war with it centuries before anyone put the letters C, I and A together. It didn’t start being about the CIA right after that, either. They want their empire back. They are a threat. Own up and deal with that fact.
I don’t really know, and they’re not saying. There were several, however. Like you, I stopped counting because the powers that be (Obama and party) weren’t going to do anything about it anyway.
At this point, what difference does it make. The whirlwind is ripe for reaping, having been sown from fence to fence. They’ll blame Trump for it anyway.
Happened today. Allahu Akbar, bang, bang, bang. Three dead.
Carry safe and always carry, everyday, everywhere....
