<p>The tweet from the charity included information about the hospitals where the presents were handed out to kids, which included the Royal Manchester Children&#8217;s Hospital, North Manchester General Hospital, Trafford General Hospital, and Wythenshawe Hospital.</p>
<p>The interim Director of Manchester Foundation Trust Charity, Tanya Hamid, also shared the happy news with a post on Instagram, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/12/28/ariana-grande-sends-gifts-to-manchester-patients-5-years-after-bombing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a> noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s so wonderful that Ariana has once again been so thoughtful and made this special donation to our family of hospitals,&#8221; Hamid wrote.</p>
<p>&#8220;We know Manchester, and in particular Royal Manchester Children&#8217;s Hospital, holds a special place in Ariana&#8217;s heart,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>In May 2017, during Grande&#8217;s closing set, a suicide bomber denoted near the venue&#8217;s exit, killing 22 people and injuring hundreds of others who were leaving the concert.</p>
<p>A month later, the &#8220;7 Rings&#8221; hitmaker returned to England and put on a star-studded &#8220;One Love Manchester&#8221; benefit concert to raise money for victims and their families, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pop-stars-come-through-grande-cyrus-perform-amanda-prestigiacomo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.</p>
<p>The concert was said to have raised over $2.5 million for victims and their families.</p>
<p>Grande posted a heartfelt message on her <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/22/entertainment/ariana-grande-fourth-anniversary-manchester-bombing-trnd/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram Story</a> on the fourth anniversary of the bombing to all those still dealing with grief.</p>
<p>&#8220;Although grief is ever-present and our relationship to it is evolving and expressing itself in different ways every day year round, I know that this anniversary will never be an easy one,&#8221; Grande captioned her post. &#8220;Please know that I am thinking of [you] all today. Manchester, you&#8217;re in my heart always.&#8221;</p>

<p>Professional soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez shared the heartbreaking news Monday that their newborn son, one of the couple&#8217;s twins, had died.</p>

<p>&#8220;It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away,&#8221; the joint statement read. &#8220;It is the greatest pain that any parent can feel. Only the birth of our baby girl gives us strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all their expert care and support,&#8221; the statement added. &#8220;We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly as for privacy at this very difficult time. Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.&#8221;</p>

<p>Fans of one professional sports team are urging entrepreneur Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, to drop his quest to buy Twitter for a staggering $43 billion and to instead buy their team.</p>
<p>&#8220;Manchester United fans are pleading with Tesla owner Elon Musk to buy the club from the Glazer family,&#8221; the Manchester Evening News <a href="https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-tesla-elon-musk-23702587">reported</a>. &#8220;The drive to bring the richest man on the planet started with talkSPORT host and United fan Andy Goldstein responding to a tweet from Musk about his efforts to buy Twitter.&#8221;</p>
<p>Goldstein reportedly responded to a tweet from Musk about his offer to buy Twitter, writing: &#8220;Elon, Elon. Retract your offer. Buy Man United.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Spend £2bn on the best players in the world,&#8221; Goldstein added. &#8220;Win everything and then boast about it on Twitter.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10721819/Man-United-fans-urge-Elon-Musk-ditch-41bn-bid-Twitter-buy-club-instead.html">noted</a> that the news comes as dozens of Manchester United fans have &#8220;descended on the club&#8217;s Carrington training ground to protest against the Glazer family&#8217;s ownership, amid yet another season of failure on the pitch.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Banners reading &#8216;Glazers out&#8217; and &#8216;Disgrace &#8211; Not fit to wear the shirt&#8217; were held up outside the gates to the complex, with United beefing up security in anticipation and calling in police,&#8221; the report added. &#8220;The demonstration on Friday lunchtime appears to be a precursor to a larger anti-Glazer protest planned for Old Trafford ahead of the Premier League match with Norwich City on Saturday.&#8221;</p>
<p>Various reports, mostly in British publications, highlighted numerous tweets that fans have sent to Musk asking him to buy the team.</p>
<p>Twitter has attempted to stop Musk from taking over the company by adopting a so-called “poison pill” that effectively allows all shareholders, except those trying to buy out the company, to purchase newly offered shares at a discounted price.</p>
<p>Musk would have to purchase the new shares at a higher price, which could end up being too much for him to afford, if he wanted to takeover the company. Despite throwing a massive roadblock in Musk’s way, the adoption of the poison pill would not bar Musk from being able to buy the company, it would only make it harder.</p>
<p>“A poison pill is a way to stave off someone until you can get a higher price. It makes it outrageously expensive for the person to buy it,” said Charles Elson, the founding director of the University of Delaware’s Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance. “It’s a doomsday machine, it’s the atomic bomb, everyone gets wiped out — that’s the key.”</p>

<p>On May 22, 2017, a suicide bomber murdered 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. That bomber had been rescued from Tripoli, Libya, by England&#8217;s Royal Navy in 2014, according to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jul/31/manchester-arena-bomber-was-rescued-from-libya-by-royal-navy">The Guardian</a>.</p>
<p>The bomber detonated a home-made bomb in the foyer of the Manchester Arena; 19 people were immediately killed; three more died at the hospital; 200 more people were injured. The bomber, his brother, and roughly 100 other British citizens were evacuated from Tripoli by HMS Enterprise, taken to Malta, then returned to the United Kingdom in August 2014.</p>
<p>A government spokesman stated, &#8220;During the deteriorating security situation in Libya in 2014, Border Force officials were deployed to assist with the evacuation of British nationals and their dependents.&#8221; The bomber&#8217;s name was on a list of stranded citizens handed to the crew running the evacuation; the bomber had been monitored by UK security forces before his rescue. The bomber&#8217;s brother is in jail in Libya, but the British government wants to extradite him because of the Manchester attack.</p>
<p>The bomber hung around other men in Manchester who wound up joining Islamic State. An Islamic State recruiter named Raphael Hostey worshiped in the same Didsbury mosque as the bomber.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-40019135">According</a> to the BBC, the bomber was born in Manchester; his parents fled Libya during the Qaddafi regime, moved to London, then settled in Manchester. His father did the call to prayer at a mosque in Didsbury.</p>
<p>The BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-45021513">also noted</a> that the independent review of the Manchester attack revealed that the bomber had been actively investigated starting in January 2014, but by July 2014 MI5 officers closed his file. The BBC added, &#8220;He was officially classed as a &#8216;closed subject of interest of low residual risk&#8217; who had limited engagement with genuinely dangerous people.&#8221;</p></p>


Bomber Who Murdered 22 At Ariana Grande Concert Was Rescued By British Royal Navy In 2014

<p>A man that received praise for supposedly helping victims of the Islamic terrorist attack that killed 22 people in Manchester last May, admitted to stealing from victims.</p>
<p>Surveillance video played in court showed 33-year-old Chris Parker, a homeless man, stealing a purse and cell phone from two different victims, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hero-in-manchester-terror-attack-admits-he-stole-from-victims/">CBS News</a> reports. Parker went on to use a credit bank card he found in the purse.</p>
<p>Judge David Hernandez ordered Parker, who pled guilty on Wednesday in a Manchester courtroom to theft and fraud, to be held in custody till the end of the month when he will be sentenced — saying that he is “most likely” going to prison. CBS News added:</p>
<blockquote><p>In an interview with the Press Association on the day after the bombing, Parker said the blast &#8220;knocked me to the floor and then I got up and instead of running away, my gut instinct was to run back and try and help.&#8221; He was widely hailed as a hero in the media and more than 50,000 GBP was raised for him on a crowdfunding platform, the Guardian newspaper reported.</p></blockquote>
<p>Prosecutors say Parker, who only provided “limited assistance,” stole a purse that belonged to a victim who was seriously injured in the attack and used her credit bank card in the days following the attack. The victim’s 14-year-old granddaughter was killed in the attack. Parker also stole a phone from a teenage girl who was “caught up in the attack,” <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jan/03/homeless-man-hailed-as-manchester-bombing-hero-admits-thefts">The Guardian</a> noted.</p>

<p>Celebrities get a lot of flack from conservatives &#8212; and rightly so. Broadly speaking, Hollywood is rife with self-important progressive elitists who take every opportunity to promote causes anathema to conservatism, like abortion on demand. Many celebrities also have an affinity for mocking or outright condemning those who hold conservative positions (see: Joss Whedon calls those who want to defund Planned Parenthood &#8220;<a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/16599/avengers-director-defunding-abortion-mill-act-evil-amanda-prestigiacomo">evil</a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/16599/avengers-director-defunding-abortion-mill-act-evil-amanda-prestigiacomo">inhuman</a>&#8220;).</p>
<p>However, in a world in which the only intellectually honest thing to do is call balls and strikes, sometimes celebrities deserve praise for their good deeds. This is one of those times.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/30/celebrities/ariana-grande-katy-perry-coldplay-benefit-concert-manchester/">CNN</a>: &#8220;Ariana Grande has called on her celebrity friends to join forces with her for a benefit concert honoring the victims and families of the Manchester terrorist attack.&#8221; The concert, called &#8220;One Love Manchester,&#8221; will feature Grande, Coldplay, Niall Horan, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, and others, and will be held on June 4th in Manchester.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">

<p>This is not only a lovely thing to do, but a brave gesture as well.</p>
<p>Obviously, the security at the event will be staggering. However, to hold a concert in the city that just over one week ago was subject to an Islamic terrorist bombing is a courageous sign of defiance.</p>
<p>Sometimes, celebrities do good things.</p>


NICE: Ariana Grande And Others To Hold Benefit Concert In Manchester

<p>The radical Islamist suicide bomber who murdered at least 22 people and injured over <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4531940/Emergency-services-rush-Manchester-Arena.html">100 others</a> outside of an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, last week, once accused his teacher of &#8220;Islamophobia,&#8221; <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-manchester-council-flat-that-became-isis-bomb-factory-82d79dgh3?CMP=Sprkr-_-Editorial-_-thetimes-_-News-_-Imageandlink-_-Statement-_-Unspecified-_-TWITTER&amp;linkId=38081755">reports</a><em> The Times of London.</em></p>
<p>Go ahead and pick your jaw up off the floor from the shock.</p>
<p>In the years between 2009 and 2011, <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/16836/everything-you-need-know-about-manchester-joshua-yasmeh">Salman Abedi</a> and a group of other Muslim students accused their teacher of &#8220;Islamophobia&#8221; after she asked their thoughts on suicide bombing. &#8220;A group went to complain to their RE teacher saying it was Islamophobic,&#8221; a source told T<em>he Times.</em></p>
<p>&#8220;He had anger issues,&#8221; said a former classmate of the Manchester terrorist. &#8220;He would get easily wound up and I remember he would storm out of class a lot because he didn&#8217;t like the teacher&#8217;s attitude.&#8221;</p>
<p>In barbaric fashion, the pathetic loser clinging to a violent interpretation of Islam, targeted a concert where young girls would be in attendance. In an act of utter cowardice, Abedi blew himself up and killed children as young as eight years of age. This was the largest attack on London soil since the 2005 London bombings. </p>
<p>Adebi was said to have been mixed up in frequent use of marijuana and alcohol before his strict Muslim parents sent him back to their home country of Libya, where the would-be terrorist appears to have become radicalized. &#8220;His former friends told U.K. media that he returned from the country and began hanging out with a new group of Arab friends, as well as growing out a long beard,&#8221; <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2017/05/27/manchester-bomber-once-accused-his-teacher-of-islamophobia/">notes</a> <em>The Daily Caller. </em></p>
<p>Although Westerners have been encouraged to practice the &#8220;see something, say something&#8221; mantra, we&#8217;re still crippled by political correctness, which labels crucial speech, questions and suspicions necessary to diffusing acts of radicalism as &#8220;Islamophobic.&#8221;</p>
<p>In America, we tragically witnessed this firsthand with the radical Islamic attack in San Bernardino, California, where innocents were murdered. A neighbor of the murderous duo was suspicious of activity coming from their home but declined to say something out of fear of being labeled &#8220;Islamophobic.&#8221; President Obama solidified this fear in 2011 when he weighed in on <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/16664/judge-throws-out-clock-boys-discrimination-lawsuit-james-barrett">&#8220;Clock Boy&#8221; Ahmed Mohamed</a>. </p>


SHOCK: Manchester Terrorist Once Accused Teacher Of ‘Islamophobia’

Radical Islamic Terror

<p>On Thursday, speaking with Fox host Shannon Bream on Fox News&#8217; <em>America&#8217;s Newsroom</em>, American former Navy SEAL Carl Higbie, who served two tours of duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom and is the author of <em>Battle on the Home Front: A Navy SEAL&#8217;s Mission to Save the American Dream </em>and<em> Enemies, Foreign &amp; Domestic: A SEAL&#8217;s Story, </em>ripped pop star Katy Perry for her <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/16793/watch-idiocy-katy-perry-after-manchester-massacre-hank-berrien">remarks</a> after the Manchester massacre, saying, &#8220;Go to hell, Katy Perry.&#8221;</p>
<p>The exchange came about as Bream asked Higbie about a former law enforcement official in Great Britain who protested after the massacre that the Muslim community in Great Britain felt very isolated.</p>

<p>Bream: You know, there&#8217;s all this talk about a former law enforcement official there in Manchester who said, &#8220;These people are here but they feel very isolated from the community; they don&#8217;t fit in. And it&#8217;s a perfect stew, for essentially ISIS to say, &#8216;Come with us.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>Higbie: Here&#8217;s the reality: They feel isolated from the community because they isolate themselves, They moved into similar communities; it happened here in America with  everybody coming from Ireland, from Germany, everybody came here, did the same thing. But they&#8217;ve isolated themselves in these communities; they&#8217;ve made no attempt to assimilate to the surrounding population. It is unbelievable that they feel that they are isolated because of some external force. No. They are doing it to themselves.</p>
<p>Bream: Well, what about these countries that are now requiring people who do come into the country to take classes that teach them the history and the culture of that country, the language and require them to take some of those classes?  I mean, there are those on the left who will say that is insulting and oppressive to their native cultures. What do we do? </p>
<p>Higbie: I think if you want &#8212; If you come to America, you&#8217;re American and nothing else and American foremost. And I think what this is is we don&#8217;t have people who respect the culture of the United States of America. I mean, you have people like Katy Perry, for instance. I mean this woman has said &#8220;Oh, we need to give them hugs.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bream: Hug it out.</p>
<p>Higbie:Yeah, hug it out. Go to hell, Katy Perry. Hold one of your concerts in Syria and see how that goes. She has not &#8212; I mean these people fundamentally don&#8217;t understand what is going on here. </p>
<p>Bream: But you don&#8217;t think she is coming from a bad place? You just think they don&#8217;t get the threats. </p>
<p>Higbie: Well, I just think they are completely benign. And they don&#8217;t understand any of this and they don&#8217;t want to understand, too. And that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m so strong against these celebrities who speak out and say &#8220;ohh, we can fight it through love&#8221; or &#8220;It&#8217;s not really violent,&#8221; and &#8220;They don&#8217;t mean it.&#8221; We&#8217;re putting the political correctness of the Islamic culture over the lives of our citizens and we need to stop that immediately.</p>

WATCH: Former Navy Seal: ‘Go To Hell, Katy Perry’

Katy Perry

<p>Armed soldiers were deployed to patrol the streets of the United Kingdom following an announcement by Prime Minister Theresa May that the country’s threat level had been elevated from “severe” to “critical,” the highest level possible. As May herself noted in an address to the nation following an emergency Cobra meeting with her cabinet, British intelligence services have reason to believe that another attack may be imminent.</p>
<p>“[I]t is a possibility we cannot ignore that there is a wider group of individuals linked to this incident,” <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/may/23/salman-abedi-police-race-to-establish-if-manchester-suicide-bomber-acted-alone">said</a> the prime minister. “The police have asked for authorisation from the secretary of state for defence to deploy a number of military personnel in support of their armed officers.”</p>
<p>The military is tasked with securing vulnerable key sites throughout the country, including concert venues, sports arenas, and government buildings. According to the prime minister, the military will operate under the command of the police.</p>
<p>“This means some armed police officers guarding events will be replaced by soldiers in an operation codenamed Temperer. It is the first time that the operation, which was first revealed in 2015, has been put into effect,” <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/may/23/salman-abedi-police-race-to-establish-if-manchester-suicide-bomber-acted-alone">reports</a> <em>The Guardian</em>. “The plan is believed to allow up to 3,800 troops to be deployed in support of the police, replacing armed officers at many sites to free them up for patrols in key areas.”</p>
<p>Already, around 1,000 soldiers have been deployed to major cities across the country. Home Secretary Amber Rudd stated that another 2,800 troops are being deployed to patrol the streets, placing the total at 3,800. Most are tasked with guarding the capital city. Since the Westminster terrorist attack in March, London has been the site of regular police patrols and security reinforcements. But with the latest deployment of troops, London has become a virtual fortress. Parliament will take no visitors or tourists for the time being as police track down Manchester suicide bomber Salman Abedi’s jihadist associates.</p>
<p>While London may be fortified, other sites appear vulnerable to possible attacks. Indeed, law enforcement personnel in Manchester (where Monday night’s horrific attack occurred), Birmingham, Liverpool, Sheffield, Newcastle and other major cities have been stretched thin since then-Home Secretary Theresa May announced cuts to police departments. Today, as prime minister, May is promising law enforcement all the resources they may need in a tragic play of irony brought upon by ubiquitous specter of jihad.</p>
<p>Police have already made at least five arrests near Manchester. Working with the United Nations-backed semi-Islamist militia in Libya, British intelligence services have also managed to compel Libyan security forces to detain the suicide bomber’s father and brother in a raid in Tripoli.</p>
<p>Despite a series of successful arrests, Abedi’s terrorist network still looms large. U.K. officials believe that the yet-to-be captured bomb maker behind the explosive device used in the Manchester attack may be planning another attack.</p>

<p>Against the backdrop of vigils mourning the deaths of children as young as eight, British police are hunting down anyone who may be connected to Monday night’s massacre in Manchester.</p>
<p>All available evidence suggests that 22-year-old suicide bomber Salman Abedi wasn’t working alone. ISIS has already taken responsibility for the attack, calling the attacker a “soldier of the caliphate.” But terrorism analysts have been noticing a series of inconsistencies in the statements released by the Islamic State in the hours after Abedi detonated his explosive device, killing himself for the cause of jihad against the “crusaders” and “polytheists” (terms ISIS used to label the prepubescent, non-Muslim victims).</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/IS?src=hash">#IS</a> just released today&#8217;s radio bulletin. It&#8217;s going to great lengths *not* to frame <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Manchester?src=hash">#Manchester</a> bombing as a suicide attack. Very strange.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-lang="en"><p>I&#8217;ve never known <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/IS?src=hash">#IS</a> shy away from labelling a suicide attack a suicide attack before. This is very unusual, and certainly not accidental.</p>

<p>Here’s what we know so far:</p>
<p>Abedi was almost certainly working with some sort of jihadi network. Both the sophistication of the bomb used in the attack and the logistics of the attack indicate that far more than one person was involved in the planning.</p>
<p>Most of disturbing of all, the bomb maker behind the attack still appears to be on the loose.</p>
<p>“Intelligence services now believe that Salman Abedi, who detonated the nail bomb in the foyer of the venue, was a ‘mule’ using a device made by someone else,” <a href="http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/manchester-arena-bomb-maker-search-13086027?service=responsive">explains</a><em> The Manchester Evening News.</em></p>
<p>Ultimately, the bomb make may be far more lethal than Abedi himself.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p>The sophistication of the device used in <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Manchester?src=hash">#Manchester</a> suggests that the attacker and bomb maker weren&#8217;t one and the same, says <a href="https://twitter.com/ColinPClarke">@ColinPClarke</a>.</p>

<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s very clear that this is a network that we are investigating,&#8221; Manchester police chief Ian Hopkins <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-security-manchester-idUSKBN18K0K5">said</a> Wednesday. &#8220;And as I&#8217;ve said, it continues at a pace. There&#8217;s extensive investigations going on and activity taking place across Greater Manchester as we speak.&#8221;</p>
<p>Police have carried out a series of raids targeting Abedi’s apparent network as investigators gather information from the suicide bomber’s residence. “Four men were arrested on Wednesday — three in the city center and one in Wigan, a town to the northwest — bringing the total number of people in custody to five, including Mr. Abedi’s older brother,” <a href="In%20Libya,%20Mr.%20Abedi%25E2%2580%2599s%20father%20was%20arrested%20by%20a%20militia,%20the%20Special%20Deterrence%20Forces,%20which%20said%20it%20had%20also%20detained%20Mr.%20Abedi%25E2%2580%2599s%20younger%20brother,%20Hashem%20Abedi,%2020.">notes</a> <em>The New York Times</em>. “In Libya, Mr. Abedi’s father was arrested by a militia, the Special Deterrence Forces, which said it had also detained Mr. Abedi’s younger brother, Hashem Abedi, 20.”</p>
<p>According to Libyan security forces, Abedi’s younger brother Hashem “was fully aware of the details” of the Manchester attack. Not only did Hashem confess “to his presence in Britain during the preparation period” of the attack, but he may have been planning another attack himself, added the Libyans in a Facebook post detailing the arrest.</p>
<p>Here’s the Facebook post itself. The post is originally in Arabic. The rough translation below comes courtesy of Google.</p>

<p>Prior to being arrested himself, Abedi’s father reportedly denied that his children were behind any attacks, claiming that they know better than to target innocents.</p>
<p>But British intelligence believes that jihad was a family affair.</p>
<p>In fact, Abedi’s father admitted that his son recently went to Libya before returning to his native Manchester. The son of Libyan Muslim immigrants, Abedi was known to British law enforcement prior to the attack. However, intelligence services eventually deemed him to be a low-risk threat.</p>
<p>“Abedi was a terrorist suspect in the U.K., <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/world/mi5.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MI5</a> were aware of him,” Robin Simcox, a terrorism and national security analyst at <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/the-heritage-foundation.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Heritage Foundation</a> <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/International/portrait-emerges-salman-abedi-suspected-manchester-bomber/story?id=47594845">told</a> ABC News. “They were aware that he posed a potential threat but they didn’t think he posed an imminent threat that he proved himself to do in Manchester.</p>
<p>The “known wolf” profile is becoming a cliché at this point. From Brussels to Paris to Manchester, European security officials have dropped the ball, allowing suspected jihadists to operate freely in the days and weeks leading up to major terror attacks.</p>
<p>Indeed, Abedi’s travel itinerary alone paints the portrait of a jihadist planning to carry out an imminent attack on British soil.</p>
<p>According to French interior minister Gerard Collomb, Abedi was known to have links to the Islamic State. How do the French know this? French intelligence believe that Abedi may have not only traveled to Libya, where the Islamic State once had a foothold in the port city of Sirte, but visited Syria as well, where ISIS has established its de facto capital.</p>

Report:  Ariana Grande May Pay For Victims’  Funerals

Murder

<p>After <em>The Daily Wire</em> published a <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/16793/watch-idiocy-katy-perry-after-manchester-massacre-hank-berrien">widely-read piece</a> on Tuesday regarding Katy Perry&#8217;s response to the Manchester massacre  on the Elvis Duran Show, accompanied by the<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBhboWaFodU"> video </a>of Perry and Duran, the video was pulled from YouTube. But another video on YouTube, from KatyPerryDaily Net, featuring the audio of the entire interview, still existed as of Wednesday morning:</p>
<div class="embed video fluid-video"><iframe loading="lazy" allowfullscreen frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t2kriYeEc20" width="560"></iframe></div>
<p>&#8203;Perry&#8217;s remarks, which included her advice to &#8220;Just unite and love on each other and like, no barriers, no borders, like we all need to just co-exist,&#8221; were not a surprise to those familiar with the vapid exhortations of the pop-star set, but in the immediate aftermath of the massacre and the stories of children blown apart by a nail-bomb, came across as enormously offensive, coupled with the dialogue between her and Duran which seemingly focused on the importance of Perry&#8217;s concerts.</p></p>
