Here in New York City today, it’s Thanksgiving Day in a war zone. And imagine: people say Obama is wrong, and that Muslims have contributed nothing to the United States.
“81 sand-filled trucks to line Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade route to prevent terror attack,” by Josh Einiger, WABC, November 23, 2016:
NEW YORK (WABC) — The NYPD’s extensive security measures for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade include placing dozens of sand-filled trucks near the parade route to prevent a terror attack like the one in France last year.
Wednesday night, the steel curtain slammed shut on the next and arguably most complex task of securing Thanksgiving.
In Herald Square, police have already frozen street and sidewalk traffic hours before a show which last year attracted 3.5 million spectators and more than 40 million viewers across the country.
So on the eve of such a high pressure event, what worries police the most?
“Good question Josh, but I think you’ve known me long enough to know I worry all the time. I’m Irish, I worry all the time,” Police Commissioner James O’Neill said.
But, Commissioner O’Neill says he’s confident his department is ready, evolving as it has the most recent threats, like the Bastille Day truck attack in nice.
“We think ahead of the terrorists, we knew that would have possibly been one of their plots,” said Chief James Waters, NYPD Counterterrorism.
With new chatter encouraging a similar attack on Thanksgiving, Waters’ team adapted.
First the parade route itself, for the first time, will allow no crosstown traffic across Sixth Avenue, and 42nd and 57thstreets are closed.
The department will position 82 heavy sanitation trucks blocking side streets along the route, to block any oncoming attackers.
“We don’t want any copycats, we don’t want anybody else to think that they can come to New York and try that here,” Waters said….

And to think half the country voted for Clinton who wanted to bring in another 500 thousand to a million more Muslim refugees from the most violent part of the globe!
SAHANI says
our media is getting paid by muslim nations to keep american in dark.
cost to usa due to muslim living in usa.
Mac-101 says
Rodger that. Traitorous scum. Fear and Oil Tick money goes a long way. I just can’t believe the Big Money is allowing this to happen. Must be part of Satan’s plan!
Tatka says
Yes it is

No, they aren’t–they are just so mired in “political correctness” that there is no need.

INSANITY on steroids! N.
A Harris USA says
The nation of USA is full of cry babies who need safe zones, crayons, and therapy dogs to survive Hillary’s sounding defeat!! Idiots, crack heads, and spoiled brats!! The rest of America is wise enough to know what the hell is going on !! Trump will be able to make such stupid scenes as a million trash trucks around a Thanksgiving day parade!! This is getting beyond tolerable!!! Stupid mayor of NYC is like a silly child, and want to break the law, just because they want to. Sanctuary city, they get what they deserve!!
Lynne says
I know what’s going on and I live in Canada.

No one in New York City–resident or visitor–deserves to be murdered in a Jihad terror attack.

Jihad on 34th Street.
I’m not a Christian (I best describe myself as a Deist), but love everything about Christmas! It’s spirit of joy, of giving and receiving, the annual gathering of family and friends (many we might otherwise seldom see) and, as well as a time of rest, perhaps the opportunity, the obligation even to reflect more deeply than usual on life’s meaning and our place within this Universe — at the end of another invariably troubled year — all help make it so wonderful and indispensable.
The way in which muslims and their damned islam seek to cruelly and cynically misappropriate and mangle the message of the Christian figure of Jesus is yet a further reason to loathe and detest nearly everything about this vile cult of Muhammad. Graven image, you’re not alone, there’s a growing army of us who feel the same as you.
Happy XMAS New York! Happy XMAS everyone!
Lynne says
That is the real spirit of Christmas! I’m glad that you can enjoy Christmas for what it is. Islam lacks joy in life and wants to suck it out of everyone else. If it weren’t for death and destruction that Islam imposes, I could almost feel sorry for Muslims but I don’t.
eur says
France has been in a state of constant alert for more than a year, with the army on the streets. Thanks to Allah, Muhammad and his followers.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Filling 81 dump trucks with sand and posting them as a wall against a potential Jihad mass murder attack has got to be expensive. Taking a cue from Trump, shouldn’t we make Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE and other oil rich Moslem nations pay for this defensive measure? I think so.
Angemon says
You should, especially seeing how the Saudis preferred America to bin Laden.
Lynn Miller says
It’s not only the high security on holidays but also the screening check points at our airports, sea ports and borders which go on 365 days a year. Islamic terrorism or the threat of it, must have cost us billions of dollars that could have been spent more productively on improving our infrastructure, providing better services to veterans or in lowering taxes. Muslims want to weaken the US and the constant threat of terror attacks and our need for additional security to thwart them is death by 1,000 cuts.
gravenimage says
Yes–one of the stated purposes of 9/11 was to financially bankrupt us. The West is wealthy and successful, but this has to be taking a toll.
marie says
Alarmed Pig farmers I agree…in addition Trump should go after those millions Hillary
got from the Arab Countries, this could then go towards the enormous cost the
Muslim terrorists are costing your country.
Tjhawk says
We can fill 81 dump trucks to block the normal movement of a free society, but we can’t make the slightest effort to understand the motivations of the enemies of a free society??
Change the islamofriendly intelligence protocols NOW!!!
SAHANI says
Gift to USA by muslim present is nothing but more cost to live in usa.
more security cost, live in fear . most cost to maintain your property.
When our leaders and media will expose Islam and it cost to USA citizen.
Mac-101 says
Just another Alinsky nail in bankrupting the USSA so THEY can create their Global NWO and use Islam as the FORCED religion of da BEAST!
TR says
Right On! Long association between the Alinskyites and the MB with financial support to Chaos via Soros.
Mac-101 says
Pray Trump takes on Soros and his NGOs. THEY are domestic and international terrorist. How many LEOs have been murdered due to these community organizers/communist agitators?
TR says
Soros has now started taking over the Beef Industry shipping his deregulated Raw South American Beef from his JBS-Brazil directly to his JBS-USA plants endangering all cloven hoof livestock and BSE Mad Cow Disease into the USA. Hillary’s buddy Tom Vilsack USDA Secretary killed the US Cattle market and Family Farms that kept America non- foreign dependent on food supply..
Soros’ Assets need to be confiscated for his connection to terror organizations.
Mo says
It sickens me, how we are being held hostage in our own country.
Real McCoy says
I agree with you 100%. The United States of America, United Kingdom, France, Germany, are heroes when they are fighting in the Middle east countries but why they are so cowards in their countries.
Debi Brand says
Indeed, our new America– “blessed” by our love for diversity,as well as by our seemingly helpless penchant for stupidity, thus, America, at least for a while yet, accented with Islam, well on her way to being Americastan.
Dan says
If any clown says, “These preparations have nothing to do with Islam.” I’m gonna chuck a bird.
jayell says
I wish my late-departed mother could see that picture at the top. It would take her back to her teen days during the blitz in London. Oh, sorry, how inappropriate! She would be recalling civilian defences against vicious Nazi bomber action during World War 2, when here we’re just looking at ordinary municipal crowd-control to accommodate the patriotic exuberance of the all-American followers of the Religion of Peace.
gravenimage says
True.
marie says
Yes…and it makes me sick to my gut!
When the hell is this Muslim problem going to be solved and we can all live
as before.
That is before the stupid government brought all these parasites in
to the west and expected us to pay for them!
Trump is the only hope we all have!
TR says
We are going to have to discover a way to clean up the University Indoctrination Centers a product of the Alinsky Communist Community Organization Brainwashing released upon our education system.
David says
This is all part of President Osama’s Legacy! Uncountable muslim Terrorist living on the fat of the America taxpayers! This traitorous swine will be remembered for decades as the worse thing ever to happen to the America people!
His evil will bare fruit for generations!
May he be brought to Justice by the next Administration!
TR says
I remember back in 2008, when an ex-COINTELPRO Infiltrator declared Obama an enemy operative with ties of Solidarity to the Radical Islamist MB and the hardcore Radical Communist Movement USA. Seems he was censored by the Liberal and then conservative, media. His job required him to take part in much of the planning of this nightmarish situation we are witnessing today.
Note: Despite how the Internet and media try to portray the COINTELPRO Infiltrators with the bogus numbers of their operatives in the thousands, Although few in numbers the Operatives accomplished, a great service to the USA saving hundreds of lives by defusing and diverting, many bombing plots which where totally unknown to the public. One such plot could have killed over 400 ROTC Cadets during a combined drill at Barton Hall, Cornell University. (Jurisdiction was Albany District’s, but, Infiltration was a Buffalo District FBI COINTELPRO operative, since Albany could not and did not get a man into the Leadership of Niagara Region SDS, Ithaca, NY..) Do Not Believe the Propaganda of the Communist Influenced Media as they try every means to discredit these individuals with lies and half-truths. Their smear campaign has worked to their benefit amongst the rank and file duped American citizen. Had they not created the term “Conspiracy Theory”, many warnings, from those who knew the truth, may have been listened to and not summarized as a “Theory” instead as a cold-hard-fact of two or more persons planning to commit an unlawful act..
JawsV says
What would we do without wonderful and fabulous “peaceful” Islam?
Lawrence says
What is the cost of all this to tax payers? Hey who cares right? Muslim contributions to America know no end.
I don’t trust Trump on bringing Muslim immigration to a halt. Even slowing it down isn’t good enough. Needs to be reversed.
shoehorn says
An admission by authorities that immigration policies have endangered the lives of American citizens.
Don McKellar says
The original moslem contribution to America was terror and piracy and ransom of America’s first trading fleet off the Barbary coast. Moslems are still contributing in the same way.
Tjhawk says
Yes, the muslims could be considered responsible for the U.S. Marines. They were formed to battle those theiving Barbary pirates. The “to the shores of Tripoly” line in the song alludes to this.
gravenimage says
Yes–Muslim piracy was the reason we formed a navy and marine corps–to rescue our enslaved seamen.
Phil Copson says
You mean the “Marines Hymn” – it’s not a song – we’re not talking John Denver here……..
A Harris USA says
Don, 100% right!!!
davej says
The goal of Islam is to both terrorize us and bankrupt us into submission.
That mission is being realized. Were the spectators nervous and inconvenienced? How much did thousands of police and 81 dump trucks cost us – for a simple Thanksgiving parade?
Recommend Philip Haney’s book “See Something, Do Nothing” for it’s insider view of how law enforcement was thwarted and sabotaged under the Obama administration.
“Our work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging their miserable house so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious”. – Muslim Brotherhood Mission Statement.
So either we eliminate them or they will eliminate us.

Number One:
Thanksgiving can not now nor ever be observed by Muslims. It is anti-Quran, anti-Sharia to observe such a holiday as Thanksgiving in any manner.
Number Two:
Parades and Islam do not mix together.

It was never like this when I was a kid.
Happy Thanksgiving from the vicious “religion of peace”…
God, I hate Islam.
Eric Jones says
I wish to take a moment to wish all readers and commenters to Jihad Watch a joyous and peaceful Thanksgiving Season. Its important to remmember to give thanks to God for so many good things we have that; sometime we take for granted. This is an important Christian Holiday in the USA. The west must maintain its christian traditions despite the islamist and their allies.

Quran 8:60 works really well for the pious…Kuffar have to spend big bucks on security and create a mini police state for the celebration…
