While global terrorist attacks decreased from around 17,000 in 2014 to 11,000 last year, in the U.S. we’ve seen a spike — and it’s not coming from Trump’s usual bugaboos.

Trump's response to terror attack in Iran is disgraceful
“Gunmen dressed as women stormed Iran's parliament building on Wednesday while a suicide bomber targeted a shrine to the Islamic republic's founder in deadly twin attacks that were claimed by ISIS.
