Page 1 Roundup (06/04)


The New York Post: I'm heartbroken for Britain, which has been the target of three deadly terror attacks in as many months. Now that we know that neither pretending there isn't a problem nor calling all Muslims terrorists isn't fixing things, does anyone have any actual idea how we combat this deadly form of counterculture


My gut tells me there really isn't anything we can do, other than try to stop attacks before they happen. And scarily, Trump doesn't believe in any of our intelligence agencies, opting for The Drudge Report as his major source of information.


I'd say it's just as unfair to criticize Trump for playing golf during a crisis as it was to criticize Obama for doing the same -- except it was the current golfer in chief who was constantly ripping into him. Furthermore, Obama never claimed to have a "secret plan to defeat ISIS" in 30 days that was "foolproof." (Is that still a secret????) Apparently all we can do is wait for this administration to end.

At this point with elections looming can you really say this isn't something Russia could be involved in. Ariana Grande has gone back to London for a concert to raise money for victims. It's what the Briits do , "carry on" , that's how they survived the "Blitz"! My sentence reads as if Miss Grande is a Brit, to which I would say, to my knowledge she is not. Just a very brave young woman who won't let the bad guys win or get the last word.

Of course she went to Manchester which is not London, but has a great football team Manchester United.
