Why do news accounts report Islamic terrorists keep blowing up things, killing people at marathons and other public places, and now the French Quarter in New Orleans, but President Joe has told us numerous times it’s really White supremacists who threaten our peace and safety?
Either Jos is mistaken, and the press is wrong, or Joe’s wrong and the press is mistaken? Which is it?
Or could it be Joe doesn’t have a clue, and the press has got it right?
Think I’ll have to go with the press on this one. I can tell that Joe has been out of touch with reality for quite some time.
At least since 2020.
Actually, his entire career has been an endless parade of miscues, fumbles, and political chicanery. As a result, it’s no surprise Joe would insist White supremacists are stirring up trouble when available evidence points to Islamic terrorists.
To Joe, it’s all the same.
I’m a small-town guy living in a community that could be stuffed inside a single tall New York City building.
Like the kind Islamic terrorists smashed commercial airliners into on Sept. 11, 2001, killing over 3,000 people.
Or in Boston during their annual marathon where Islamic terrorists detonated bombs, killing and wounding many participants and onlookers.
Or on New Year’s Day, when an Islamic terrorist intentionally drove a pickup truck into a crowd in New Orleans, killing over a dozen and then shooting at police and others until he was killed by return fire.
In each instance, there were no reports of the culprits being White supremacists. Nor have there been other reported incidents of White Supremacist involvement in these terrorist attacks.
Let’s be clear: I’m not intentionally pointing out that Islam is the primary religious motivation behind these atrocities. Rather, the participants all seem to be of that faith.
They aren’t Methodists, Catholics, Baptists, Mormons, or Seventh-Day Adventists. They’re Islamic Muslims.
But not all Islamic Muslims are terrorists. Yet, the percentage who are is what is causing the problems.
With President Joe’s open borders policies, there really is no factual way of determining how many people with evil intentions have illegally infiltrated the country.
Obviously, not all 10 or 15 million are bad guys or seeking asylum. However, if only 1% are bad guys, then that’s a sizeable amount that probably intends to do harm in some nefarious way.
Or else, why would they be here?
Thankfully, President Joe and his crew are on their way out of town. Tomorrow wouldn’t be soon enough. Until then, let’s hope and pray other tragic events do not occur to escalate an already touchy situation.
For certain, Donald Trump is going to have his hands full straightening out this mess.
Editor’s Note: The driver in the New Orleans incident on New Year’s Day has been identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. Army veteran who officials have said was inspired by the Islamic State group to commit terrorism. A total of 14 people reportedly died in the incident, with another 30 being injured.
