A REMINDER OF REALITY – AT 10:46 A.M. ET:  Action in Belgium reminds us that the terrorist threat is ongoing and real.  From NBC:

Twelve people suspected of planning new terror attacks were arrested in Brussels after police raided dozens of homes overnight, prosecutors said Saturday.

Forty people were taken in for questioning and 152 car ports were also searched, the Belgium Federal Prosecutor's Office said in a statement.

The results of the investigation "necessitated an immediate intervention," it said. "In the interest of the investigation, currently no further details can be given."

Belgium is still under a "level three" terror alert — the second highest — in the wake of the March 22 attacks on the Brussels subway and airport that killed 32 people.

The terror level implies a threat of an attack "is possible and likely." The maximum level indicates an imminent threat of attack.

Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said Saturday the terror level would remain where it was and said the situation was "under control."

COMMENT:  I'm so disappointed that Belgian authorities, unlike our president, doesn't understand that this is a gun-control issue, and one of domestic violence.  These Belgians.  So simplistic.

No, they've seen reality.  Right now the Europeans, strangely, are more realistic about terror than we are.  A new poll shocks us by pointing out that the great majority of Democrats see Orlando as an example of domestic violence, not Islamic terror, despite the clear history of the shooter.  Obama has done his work for the hard left very well.
