Ya know, it’s about time Joe Biden got something right ! All. the media spin around the New Orleans attack is as confused as it gets. There are no 100% factual news broadcasts concerning the “who, what, when, where, how and sometimes why’s” because at least 2 or more of those journalistic prerequisites isn’t the same from one media group to another. Now, concerning my first sentence, when Joe was asked what information he had, he answered by saying that he wasn’t going to say anything UNTIL he had all the facts. Bout time Joe.
I didn't hear of an attack, but they said there was an "area of interest" in North Houston. Perhaps it was the suspect's former home or they suspect evidence and materials are there. They reported that streets were blocked off.
This is really interesting. Some of the "experts" used by the various news services are hinting or saying that a lot of FBI personnel have been pulled off terror monitoring duties and used in "other areas" and that may be why this cell was missed. One even hinted that the suspect "may" have been on someone's radar but not addressed due to "other priorities".
I thought it was odd that during the first press conference this morning the mayor (or police chief... not sure which) said it was NOT a terrorist attack. My husband looked at me and said, "then why is the FBI involved??" Something is definitely fishy, as usual.
Did you see the Chief of police for New Orleans? She looked a bit Biden-like if that was her. The mayor reminded me of a thug, maybe reminiscent of Chicago. It now sounds like the police department was to blame for the attack. They removed the bollards before the second-busiest time in New Orleans and replaced them with police cars that did not cover the sidewalks. The truck simply drove onto the sidewalks and around the police vehicles. Bad, bad, bad. I says the terrorists were monitoring the situation in New Orleans and spotted a vulnerability. Three men and a woman were seen on video planting devices. Some may be dummies. The NOPD also did not sweep for explosives which is apparently a standard police procedure when large crowds are expected. NOPD may be responsible for this taking place in their city. NYPD thankfully is not so negligent.
I had to google her; she has an impressive resume until this part... "Kirkpatrick was appointed interim superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department by Mayor LaToya Cantrell in September 2023, and after confirmation by the city council[10][11] was sworn in as Superintendent in November 2023.[12] In August 2024, she struck two pedestrians with her car while on duty.[13] [14]
NYPD is very demoralized due to the current DA. They get prosecuted but the criminals do not. I understand they are also stretched very thin as recruitment is reportedly way down and everybody who can retire has done so. They do prevent real terrorism attacks--at least on a large scale--but they can't cover everything. It makes me sad when I think about how three cities I so enjoyed in the past --New York, Minneapolis, and San Francisco--have been so decimated in recent years.
I just read that Starbucks is closing it's flagship store in Seattle because the area is no longer safe. Apparently there used to be a perpetual line around the place so The Faithful from every corner of the nation could get a latte from The Mother Ship. Not anymore. In this case, Starbucks is a major contributor to the WOKE that killed their first store...but they'll never see it.
It doesn't just happen in large cities, these smaller cities are also infected with Wokeness. Like they said in Solvent Green, "It's people". Now I'm off to music before I get more involved, again!
And now, a Telsa Cybertruck explodes outside Trumps Las Vegas Hotel. The person inside the Cybertruck was killed. Both vehicles, the one in New Orleans and the one in Vegas, were both rented from the same company. So I don't have to write much, here is the article: Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion investigated as possible terrorism: Updates President-elect Donald Trump is pretty pissed about both.
