_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

Last Friday, the FBI arrested four members of a far-left extremist group, the Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF), for allegedly plotting a series of bombings across Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. The suspects were apprehended in the Mojave Desert as they prepared to test improvised explosive devices.

Attorney General Pam Bondi described the group as pro-Palestinian, anti-government, and anti-capitalist. The four individuals are now facing multiple federal charges.

It is a significant threat and should be a centerpiece of FBI and other organizations' investigations. We should investigate, prosecute and jail these radicals.

just a tip of the iceberg. Antifa needs to be dismantled, prosecuted and in prison.

Leftist extremism, particularly saddled with Islamism, is a significant threat & must be handled with all due speed & just efficiency. These kinds of people hate the true God, America, Israel, & freedom under the law in general😔🙏 - Shaun.

Overwhelmingly, the Muslin Brotherhood and CAIR, Antifa, and many others like them need to be tracked down and either killed or removed from our country! Those organizations do not represent Free Speech or Religious Freedom; they ONLY represent HATE.

The threat continues to exponentially grow daily. There remains too much acceptance and tolerance of the Left and their agenda by MSM, Corporate Leaders and big numbers of brainwashed masses, making it very difficult to make headway in stopping or reversing the threat. It has taken the Left 50-60 years to get to this point, so it is going to take a difficult, long, diligent, consistent uphill battle to ever turn this around.

BIG! Radical Islam has always been a threat.

It is the #1 threat IMHO, due to their possible collaboration with islamists and foreign government (Russia, China, leftist South American countries) interference in our affairs in order to take us down. We should especially be looking at the charitable and cultural wings of all islamic organizations, as they are sometimes the best fronts to use in Western countries because of our tradition of being generous and helpful. Kind of like a Trojan horse.

Huge. I hope the four terrorists who were arrested in the desert are the only ones in on their plans. There could still be others who are or could be prepared to carry out the plans. Terrorism is a cancer, and like cancer, cells can migrate and hide only to reappear at another time, even in another part of the body/nation.

The threat is significant, and should be dealt with severely. Why is it that leaders of mosques are silent on the violence and perversion of their religion? Never heard any condemnation of the murder of innocents. Bob Tasker

I love how MS Now frames TILF's deadly antics as being ' "Amazon-type logistics centers" rather than populated areas, suggesting a focus on property damage over casualties." ' Like real, living people don't actually work in these places. These groups are destructive anarchists. And they're Anti-Capitalists? I'd love to see how they finance this crap. And give me a break. Turtle Island Liberation Front? Order of the Black Lotus? Too many video games anyone?

The TILF is but one such organization dedicated to creating fear and causing havoc for law enforcement, both local and federal. There will be more attempts, some will be successful. The best approach we can take is to imitate the Israelis, who have significant experience dealing with terrorist organizations. The threat is not going away, and we can't take the attitude that it won't happen "here." It's going to happen and "here" equates to anywhere in the country.

Devastating. The Progressive Left has, since its inception, targeted America, its people and its way of life. Americans need to wake up, stop following the lies of the MSM and start voting for American Patriots.

Huge threat. I prefer Deportation vs prison. American taxpayers should not have to feed & house these monsters.

It's a huge threat, not only to our lives but to our cultural identity as well. Assimilate or leave, simple as that.

It is a huge threat that must be neutralized by any means and level of force necessary.

I agree it is huge. The thought that they ONLY have a following of 1000 does not mean they are not serious, calculating murders who will stop at nothing to bring attention to themselves and grow their number. Get them while they are small in number. J Braun

Those ignorants are a huge threat. Precisely because they are IGNORANT and willing to do anything, even risk death, to carry on programs formulated by others....who count on their stupidity and lack of vision of the real meaning of life and freedom.

They wouldn't say that if their faces were being shown. Weak minded, weak in body, weak in spirit, and weakest of all in beliefs. Deportation or prison for these antagonists.

Not sure how much a threat they are.....but they certainly offer an opportunity of a sort. Don't stop them. Let them succeed in their little bombings then catch them. Would make great PR opportunities for law and order folks. I know this is rather Machiavellian but stopping a threat is boring News.
