A teacher tweeted that the Muslim children in his class were celebrating the Belgium jihad attacks. Within a few hours, 3 police found him and advised him not to tweet any more. This is the reality of Europe today. They can’t stop who knows how many jihadis from blowing up a number of targets in Brussels, but they can descend on a teacher within hours of a tweet.

The European Union was first brought into being to “safeguard” world peace. Today, the employees of the EU in Brussels were told to cower in fear in their government buildings while Islamic Jihadists once again terrorized this city whose population is already nearly a quarter Muslim.

In broadcast to AIPAC in Washington DC, Netanyahu states 'terror has no grievances, it's not like we could offer them Brussels.' Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu delivered a speech in a live broadcast to the AIPAC conference in Washington DC on Tuesday. Responding to the horrific attacks in Brussels earlier in the day, Netanyahu said, "terrorists have no resolvable grievances, it's not as if we could offer them Brussels, or Istanbul, or the West Bank. That won't resolve their grievances." "Their basic demand is that we simply should disappear," he said, emphasizing "that won't happen." Elaborating on Israel's technological breakthroughs, Netanyahu...

The terror attacks in Brussels on Tuesday pose the worst kind of foreign policy dilemma for President Obama, pitting his instincts that he’s doing all he can to defeat the Islamic State against intense political pressure for him to do more. Obama has been making the case for months that his strategy to defeat the Islamic State and protect Americans at home is slowly working. White House aides speak repeatedly of the 40 percent of the Islamic State’s territory taken back from the group in Iraq and the 20 percent wrested away in Syria. They cite the impact of more...

Europe is acting as a “welcome sign” to terrorists, Lord Howard, the former Tory leader, warned on Tuesday night, as leaders fought calls to scrap Schengen in the aftermath of the Brussels attacks. David Cameron said it was “inappropriate at this moment” to link the Brussels terror attacks to Europe’s open borders and said that Britain should instead be “expressing sympathy” with Belgium. However, in a speech on Tuesday night to the Politeia think tank in London, which was written before the Belgium attacks, Lord Howard said: “The European Union, in its current form, is a flawed and failing project...

President Obama’s last day in Cuba included a morning press conference where he spoke about Monday’s terror attack in Brussels – but only briefly. "This is another reminder that the world must unite,” Obama said. “We must be together." “We will do whatever is necessary to support our friend and ally Belgium," he continued. "We stand in solidarity with them in condemning these outrageous attacks." After these few short comments, Obama quickly pivoted to what he proudly considers a new, friendlier relationship with Cuba. “I’ve come to bury the last remnants of the Cold War,” Obama said. Pundits summed up...

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the deadly bombings in Brussels today. At least 34 people were killed in the attacks. 9 Americans were injured in the blasts – several are in critical condition. One suicide bomb went off and at least one suitcase bomb at the Brussels airport. President Obama devoted 50 seconds to the bombings. Then he went to a baseball game. Presidents Obama and Castro seated next to each other at Cuba v @RaysBaseball game.

If you can’t watch a ballgame in Cuba, the terrorists win. That was essentially President Obama’s answer for why he attended a game in Havana Tuesday between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team. Asked if he considered not attending the game due to the terrorist attacks in Brussels, Mr. Obama told ESPN,...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I'm still sitting here not really believing what I heard yesterday from Chris Cuomo, that sound bite about communism in which he said communism has got to work to promote individual liberty and upward economic mobility for everybody. I still can't get over this. That was such an eye-opener for me, how people have been lied to by, I don't know how many years, university professors -- probably throughout the education level -- about what communism is. You know, if the truth about communism, if it's told, nobody could end up supporting it, if people actually knew...

President Obama was all smiles this afternoon as he watched an exhibition baseball game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national baseball team - just hours after ISIS terrorists killed at least 34 people in Brussels. Settling down with wife Michelle, daughters Sasha and Malia and Cuban dictator Raul Castro, Obama appeared carefree as he enjoyed the game - ignoring calls to cut short his historic trip to return to Washington and lead the response. Indeed, despite criticism that he only devoted one minute of his speech earlier in the day to the Belgian atrocities, Obama took the...

Ted Cruz, the opportunist, shows up again. Instead of saying anything about radical Islamists, ISIS, need for better vetting and assimilation, or even praying for the victims —— He plays political games before the bodies are cold. He says “oh well isn’t it funny NATO HQ city was bombed and Trump yesterday said NATO expenses should be split more evenly, instead of US taxpayers shouldering all the financial burden. He ‪#‎lying‬ now when he said “Trump wants us to end NATO and withdraw from it”. The lies from this man are unreal. Trump explained the plan on CNN with Wolf...

Ted Cruz lashed out at Donald Trump. Well, I will say, it is striking that the day after Donald Trump called for America weakening NATO withdrawing from NATO we see Brussels, where NATO is headquartered, the subject of a radical Islamist terrorist attack. Donald Trump is wrong that America should withdraw from the world and abandon our allies. Donald Trump is wrong that America should retreat from Europe, retreat from NATO, hand Putin a major victory and while he’s at it, hand ISIS a major victory.

Bill Clinton: Europe a Mess Because of Migrants 11:57 AM, Mar 22, 2016 | By SHOSHANA WEISSMANN On Monday, former President Bill Clinton blamed disaster in Europe on migrants. He also seemed to suggest the migrants are causing Europeans to fear diversity. "Things are going better in America, the European Union is under terrible stress because of all those migrants that are coming there and the fights they're having within each other, many of them are moving to the right and becoming much more afraid of diversity even as we embrace it"

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Tuesday argued that President Obama appeared "ridiculous" speaking in Cuba in the wake of terrorist attacks in Belgium. "President Obama looks and sounds so ridiculous making his speech in Cuba, especially in the shadows of Brussels. He is being treated badly!" Trump tweeted. Others on social media noted that Obama's remarks in Cuba were played on a split screen with the immediate aftermath of violence in Brussels. The coordinated attacks early Tuesday morning in Brussels left at least 34 people dead and dozens more injured after a string of blasts at an airport and...

UPDATE (5:49 AM ET): If you are a U.S. citizen in need of urgent assistance, the emergency number for the U.S. Embassy is: 02-811-4000. UPDATE (10:05 AM ET): Tom Wilson from The Henry Jackson Society warns that terror networks were being established in Europe.“Today’s attacks, like those in Paris last year, involved coordinated simultaneous attacks. Coming days after Abdeslam’s arrest, they indicate the presence of a well-established terrorist network within Europe with the ability to become operational quickly. In light of the high number of returning fighters, this shows the scale and lethality of exactly the kind of attack most feared by...

The terror group ISIS said today that its "fighters" were responsible for the terrorist attack in Belgium that claimed more than 30 lives and injured at least three Americans, according to an ISIS-affiliated website. ISIS claimed it "carried out a series of bombings with explosive belts and devices" in "the Belgian capital Brussels, a country participating in the international coalition against the Islamic State [ISIS]," according to the site. The claim cannot be independently verified and there's no official word from Belgian authorities.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) spoke to the press in the nation’s capital Tuesday morning to address the horrific terror attacks in Brussels. He mourned with the victims’ families, then pinned the blame on failed leadership both at home and abroad. “Today’s attacks in Brussels underscores this is a war,” Cruz said. “This is not a lone war. ISIS has declared jihad.” “It is way past time we have a president who will acknowledge this evil and will call it by its name and use the full force and fury to defeat ISIS,” he continued. “Until they are defeated, these attacks...
