After Britain Attack, Trump Feuds With London Mayor
I don't care what the MSM fags think.
That's the headline, cut-and-pasted above, from Memeorandum.
Plus, from idiot prog reporter Philip Rucker, at Wapo, via Memeorandum, "Trump reacts to London terror by stoking fear and renewing feud with mayor."
The leftist media is objectively pro-jihad.

'Instructing Londoners to run, hide, and tell is a dramatic departure from the can-do, stiff-upper-lip, globe-striding empire of a century ago...'
From Jon Gabriel, at Ricochet, "In the Face of Terror, Londoners Told to 'Run, Hide, Tell'."

Reza Aslan Apologizes
But I guess folks have turned up the heat, according to Heat Street, "Reza Aslan’s CNN Show Could Be in Jeopardy After Trump ‘Piece of Sh*t’ Tweet."
I saw some of the outrage on Twitter. And now the idiot's just posted this:
I should not have used a profanity to describe the President when responding to his shocking reaction to the #LondonAttacks. My statement: pic.twitter.com/pW69jjpoZy

Still Working on It: Richard Slotkin, Regeneration Through Violence
This is fine scholarship, to be savored and enjoyed.
See, Richard Slotkin's, Regeneration Through Violence: The Mythology of the American Frontier, 1600–1860.

It's Time to Change Our Response to Islamic Extremism
If jihadists nuked London maybe?
Until then, it'll be more of the same. Political correctness drives policy, and leftists control the establishment, even with Theresa May in power.
In any case, here's the redoubtable Douglas Murray, at the Spectator U.K., "Blind, bovine hope will get us nowhere – it’s time to change our response to Islamic extremism":

Last Sunday, I appeared on the BBC’s Sunday Politics to discuss the aftermath of the Manchester attack. I said what I thought, and various Muslim groups promptly went bananas.Keep reading.
This was not caused by my suggestion that this country should finally crack-down on British officials who spend their retirements working as shills for the House of Saud. Nor by my ridiculing of that modern European tradition whereby someone blows us up and we respond by singing John Lennon songs (and now Oasis too). Rather they objected to my simple two-word suggestion that we could all do with ‘less Islam’.
In a short film preceding the studio discussion, I mentioned that countries like Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic have very little Islam and very little Islamic terror. By contrast, France has a great amount of Islam and a great amount of Islamic terror. To most people it would seem obvious – to co-opt the immortal words of Donatella Versace – that ‘more means more’. Because although many communities are capable of producing extremists, only Islamic communities produce Islamic extremists. Of course some people don’t want to accept this fact. Not least because informed choices might result. For instance, it might help us weigh up the ongoing cultural benefits of large-scale Islamic immigration versus the down-side of dozens of obliterated lives every now and then...
Note: Murray's whole debate here is post-Manchester. Now we've had the London Bridge jihad, which goes only to prove his point. (And leftists will hate him all the more.)
Theresa May Won't Crack Down on Jihad (VIDEO)

#TheresaMay won't crack down. It'll be more of the same wishy-washy "Islam is a religion of peace" claptrap. #LondonBridge #Islam #Jihad https://t.co/rL4UEq2Mav
