Since Joe Biden sat down in the White House, people paying attention to world events have wondered how long it would be before this administration's disastrous policies led to a resurgence of terror right here at home. We need wonder no longer. The events of yesterday in New Orleans have answered the question. Someday is today.
On January 1, 2025, an individual identified as Shamsud Din Jabbar drove a Ford Lightning pickup truck into a crowd in the French Quarter. He then exited the vehicle and engaged police officers with a firearm. Shamsud was killed. Two police officers were wounded. The attack caused at least 10 fatalities and over 30 injuries.
Shamsud was wearing full military gear and reportedly had an ISIS flag in his truck. Shamsud had in his possession a Glock handgun and a .308 rifle, both reported as stolen from New Jersey. At least one improvised explosive device was found in the truck.
The truck used in the New Orleans New Year's Eve terror attack was traced back to crossing the U.S. border at Eagle Pass, Texas, on November 16, 2024. It was rented via an online service that allows the renting of privately owned vehicles. There is some speculation that the Lightning was chosen because it weighs over 6000 pounds and would be particularly dangerous when used in this kind of attack. The attack follows the pattern of the recent Christmas market attack in Germany.
Shamsud was apparently a U.S. Army veteran. He served as an IT specialist and then settled in Houston after he separated from the service. The New Orleans City Council President Helena Moreno and the FBI have both stated that Shamsud did not act alone and that police are hunting for 4 to 5 additional suspects. Shamsud may have rented a short-term apartment nearby and additional explosive devices were found at that location. The FBI is working to neutralize those devices.
The Sugar Bowl, which was scheduled for this evening in New Orleans has been postponed. Officials have stated that security throughout the city has been enhanced. Officials clearly are not convinced that further attacks may not occur.
“All parties and all agree that it’s in the best interests of everybody and of public safety that we postpone the game for 24 hours,” Sugar Bowl CEO Jeff Hundley said on Wednesday during a press conference. “Work is fast about to set up a safe and efficient and fun environment for tomorrow night. There will be more details on that in the coming hours, but for now that’s the plan.”
Senator John Kennedy said during the press conference the decision to postpone the game was “very wise.”
“There’s just too much stuff we don’t know, and it’s just not worth it,” he said.
The Super Bowl is scheduled to take place in New Orleans in February.
Many months ago it was determined that a smuggling network affiliated with ISIS was operating on our soil and had brought in at least four hundred individuals. It was also widely reported that we did not know where all those individuals were or what they intended. No changes were made to our border procedures. We continued to allow individuals to enter the country with impunity and to formulate whatever plans they wanted.
The number of individuals on the terrorist watch list has skyrocketed across the board under Biden’s misrule. There have been constant reports of terrorist groups using platforms on Mexican soil to support their activities here in the United States. Further abroad Afghanistan and now Syria have become bases from which operations can be launched. We have done nothing to strengthen our border defenses or to take apart the terrorist networks growing on our soil.....SNIP
It is surprising that there have not been more attacks.
There will be more. Biden’s border policy and lax law enforcement have made sure of that.
Arm. Train. Stockpile. A Storm is Coming.
Articles like THIS are the reason I wait a few days after one of these attacks. A very concise re-cap of ‘Who, What, When Where and How.’
But, as usual, no one DARE speak about ‘Why’ other than the FACT that terrorists HATE anyone that isn’t one of them and Brandon has let more in per capita than any other _Resident to date. *SPIT*
Thanks for posting.
I am going to be frank and truthful about what I’m about to say. As soon as a terrorist attack happened the pro Hamas infiltrated Muslims in New York we’re out there protesting or actually celebrating in masses as they were inciting more terrorist attacks on our nation. And the mayor the governor there in New York have done diddly squat to prevent these pieces of trash to be out in the streets celebrating the death of all these young kids. I read the pleads for prayers from one of the victim’s mother crying for her daughter who is black. Now this is not popular to say but I’m gonna say it if any white person or group was to counter protest those effing goat fkers they would throw us immediately behind bars but if the black community rises up in numbers and counter protest those pieces of shit then I guarantee you the mayor and the governor won’t lay a glove on them. It’s time for the black community to rise up help us defeat what FJB has permitted to enter our nation. Without the black community backing us up we will not be able to defeat this evil RELIGION OF PIECES plain and simple. Islam and Christianity cannot survive under one roof this is our nation and they will not turn it into another UK! It’s time to rise up and kick them all the hell out of here. From Dearborn all the way from Minnesota every inch square they have infiltrated and occupied in our nation. Muslims cannot be trusted they will turn on this nation on a dime against who they consider us the great Satan.
It is.
NOLA joinsNYC and CA on the Tourist Do Not Go List.
Hold on. Likely, they are coming. biden will probably give them preemptive “pardons”.
To be investigated, but will likely be ignored by the Enemedia is the lapse in New Orleans security and the lack of barriers that allowed the islamoterrorist access to the streets where he murdered and injured dozens of people.
Malfeasance, misfeasance, and nonfeasance are likely to be evident from such an actual (as opposed to an FIB) investigation.
The ragheads want to get their licks in before the Trumpster takes over. Just like he told Hamass, there will be hell to pay.
Well, I see from the comments that many Freepers haven’t learned a thing over the years.
So, I ask.....have you overlooked the real possibility that this was “State” sponsored terrorist attack.....NOT a foreign State? And to what end you might ask? Look no further than the MSM narrative to learn that! “Lockdowns” of high pedrestian traffic zones in “Urban” locations.
And the Democrats law enforcement pros are at it! And that means only 1 thing.....we’ll never know the “real” truth of this.
Don’t like the title. It is not “First Blood”. It is “umpteenth blood”, starting with No. Africa, and recently with the WTC in 1993, 2001, etc.
ONE EARLY REPORT STATED THAT THE AIR BNB HE HAD RENTED IN NO WENT UP IN FLAMES AT THE SAME TIME.
