WARNING FROM BRITAIN – AT 8:18 A.M. ET:  It may be that the biggest story in America right now is the mixup at the Oscars, a tragedy of mammoth proportions that will undoubtedly be written about by historians a thousand years from now.  I can see the volumes produced in our universities – "The La La Land Mixup, its Historic Implications." 

But there are also people called grown-ups out there who have real history, and tragedy, in mind.  There is a new warning from Britain.  From the Telegraph: 

British citizens are facing a level of threat from terrorists not seen since the IRA bombings of the Seventies, the country’s new terrorism watchdog has warned.

In his first major interview since taking the role, Max Hill said Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) was planning “indiscriminate attacks on innocent civilians” on a scale similar to those perpetrated by the IRA 40 years ago.

He told The Telegraph that Islamists were targeting UK cities and said there was an “enormous ongoing risk which none of us can ignore”.

The warning comes just days after Mr Hill, one of Britain’s leading terrorism prosecutors, was unveiled as the new independent reviewer of terrorism legislation.

It follows a 30-year legal career during which he helped convict the 21/7 bomb plotters, break up terror cells and imprison Damilola Taylor’s killers.

Revealing his views about the terrorism threat in Britain, Mr Hill also:

Expressed “enormous concern” at the imminent return of hundreds of British jihadists who have been fighting for Isil in Syria;

Warned that British teenagers as young as 14 are being radicalised by extremist videos and hate speech online...

COMMENT:  If they can strike over there, they can strike over here.  President Trump is trying to develop an anti-terrorism and immigration policy that will safeguard this country, and is being ridiculed for it.  And if the horrible moment occurs, the very people doing the ridiculing will claim it's America's fault.

And the press will blame Trump.
