THERE WAS A SERIES OF TERRORIST ATTACKS TONIGHT IN LONDON.
LONDON BRIDGE — VAUXHALL — AND BOROUGH MARKET
A suspect was arrested by police near Borough Market–
A witness told BBC World that he heard the terrorist scream, ‘This is for Allah!’
President Trump was briefed on the London terrorist attacks and responded like a true leader by saying, “We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety.”

President Trump also extended help and prayers to London, reassuring them that the U.S. is with them.
Whatever the United States can do to help out in London and the U. K., we will be there – WE ARE WITH YOU. GOD BLESS!

TGP recently reported that the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court late Thursday to let the revised travel ban take effect. The Supreme Court should rule on this request as early as this week.
The administration filed two emergency applications with the nine Court justices seeking to block two lower court rulings that blocked President Trump’s executive order.
In the filing, the Justice Department argued that the appeals court in Richmond, Va. made several mistakes in ruling against Trump’s travel order.
Sarah Isgur Flores, a Justice Department spokeswoman, said the ban is lawful.
The order barred entry for people from six Muslim majority nations, including Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days while the U.S. implements stricter visa screenings.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals called the national security concerns an after-the-fact justification for a policy that was “intended to bar Muslims from this country.”
