This wasn’t at the White House, but nearby. No information yet about the driver. Could be a terrorist, or could be a drunk, or could just be a lost driver confused about the location of these temporary barriers.

RE: Could be a terrorist...

Idea. A diversion as real thugs armed with automatic weapons are coming in from the other side while everyone is talking on the radios and describing the car incident and the phony mental patient.

Iranian message was next time Butler will be done right.

Or, probing to see what security measures are in place so plans can be made to overcome those security measures for the real attack

“… No further details about the driver or the motive have been released.”

“Federal district judge orders security bollards removed. “Security bollards are a direct assault on the first amendment rights of people of color, LGBTQWTFAI+-, and illegals aliens to peacefully assembly and redress grievances with the white supremacy extreme right wing Trump administration” says Biden appointed Mogadishu born judge Muhammed Ahmed Bin Ali Mohamed.”

As usual, no names, no photo of the person.

Just move along, there’s nothing to see here.

Madison and H Streets, Northwest.

Bad writing. Madison Street is about a mile north. The Madison & H intersection near the WH is Madison PLACE. It's an alternate street name for the one-block long, two-lane east border of Lafayette Square.

Going north of there it becomess a wide main artery, 15th Street NW. Going south of Lafayette Square, it crosses Pennsylvania Avenue and enters the White House grounds proper, and is called Executive Avenue. It remains two-lane, and is on the side where the new ballroom will be.
