Obama on the Florida Terror Attack - Update

Guardian - US Live: Reports in its 4.42pm post the following, " Obama: shooter appears to have self-radicalized on internet..President Barack Obama has said that “it appears that the shooter was inspired by various extremist information that was being distributed on the internet.”  Speaking from the White House, he says here is no clear evidence that the gunman, Omar Mateen, was directed through someone else and “no direct evidence that he was part of a larger plot”. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the Democrats will use the lone wolf facts to argue for gun control, this blog supports gun control, a lot more stricter than any liberal Democrat would say in public, BUT and here is the but, you can see the base pressing for gun control, but quite or opposed to the US moving in ground troops to take out Daesh,   On the other hand, Trump wants to ban muslims from coming in to the US, that the lone wolf was born in the US does not seem a problem to the Trump Camp, they just stress the ban, facts do not matter, on the other hand Republicans support going after Daesh, in till the body bags come home.   Thus what ever political side you take you face a nominee more interested in spin than reality. 

Hillary Clinton on Trump and Gun Control - Terror Update

Telegraph - US Live: Reports in its 1.01pm post the following, " Hillary Clinton has said America has to recapture the spirit of unity that it had after the 9/11 attacks.

In an implicit rebuke to Donald Trump she said: 'This is a time for statesmanship; for Republicans and Democrats and Independents to come together. We have to  remember how we came together after 9/11 and we should recapture that."..She used the attacks to again press her views on gun reform: "A gunman used a weapon of war to shoot down 50 people and we can't even get the congress to block the buying of arms for people on no fly-lists." "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the Democrats and the Republicans are in the gutter fighting over the meaning of the Florida attacks, Trump wants to ban muslims coming to the US, while the Democrats are back on their fav subject gun control.   It is no surprise that the US is split, the two nominees of the main Parties have the highest negatives, they pander to their base of support, one wonders IF and WHEN they will move to the centre, at this rate never.

Trump on President Obama and the Florida Terror Attack

Daily Mail: Reports " Trump calls for Obama's resignation after the President refuses to blame 'radical Islam' for Orlando massacre: GOP presidential candidate insists 'we can't afford to be politically correct anymore' "

Lets Get Real:

It did not take long for the Florida attack to become political, the right see it as confirming the Trump view of the World, while the left has already started on gun control.  Everything is political sooner or later, as people fight for their lives in hospitals.   The case is on going, the FBI need to do a detailed investigation, this will take time, the political operators will have to wait in till the full facts of the case are known.   Of course that will not stop the politics, it is a Presidential election year, some people have no respect for due process. 

Hillary Clinton on Florida Attack - Terror Update

BBC News - Live Update: Reports in its 1.01pm the following post, " Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, has said "we have to defend our country from lone wolves".

In an interview to US broadcaster CNN, she said "it's a complex challenge" but that "we can do it".

So-called Islamic State (IS) has issued a message linking the Orlando attacker to the group but questions remain over the extent of the links or any co-ordination between them. "

Lets Get Real:

HRC is taking a risk by stating that the Florida attack was a lone wolf attack, the FBI and the local police are still investigation, it could be a lone wolf attack or the orders in some way came from the Daesh Capital in Syria.  That is the problem in this 24 news cycle, the press want answers an hour ago, they spend most of the time repeating what they have just said. Donald Trump was happy with himself that his world view has been confirmed, e.g banning muslims has nothing to with Florida as of this moment in time.   This is why HRC is the fav candidate of this blog.
