“This was no small thing, to restore a republic after it had fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may have been that our task was impossible. Yet, if we did not try then how would we know it could not be done? And if we did not try, it most certainly would not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, would have been lost.”
“But I tell you this: We did not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we made with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

In case you missed it: software from a rent-a-coder overseas. Oops.
Elon and @GregAbbott_TX’s plan for Texas – in 3 screenshots. Tesla lays off 2,688 Texas employees immediately following having 2,639 H1B visas approved (2022/2023).
“Elon Musk suggests the Cybertruck and F-150 incidents were acts of terrorism, potentially “linked in some way,” as both vehicles were rented from Turo.”
*What’s “Turo”? (I’ve never heard of it)
“Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car rental marketplace where you can rent directly from trusted local car owners in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, …”
I always thought AirBnB was a bad idea for neighborhood safety/property values. Who knew they’d take this stupid idea to cars too! No wonder insurance rates are sky high for all!
SO true. As a veteran of the hospitality industry, there is nothing more idiotic than renting a place at some even more idiotic person’s home. No security, no life/safety measures, no nothing.
Except a moving vehicle…
Amen!
Did Elon comment on why this was done outside of Trump Tower Las Vegas?
Not that I’ve seen.
He did say something about a cybertruck being the worst choice for a car bomb… b/c of its steel/armor like shell minimizing external damage from an explosion.
Plot thickens…
Turo uses H1B:
So a truck from the H1B Queen rented via a company that is staffed with H1B subpar talent.
Never knew the F-150 Suicide Bomb was a factory option…
It was an electric truck, I think!
A few months ago, the New Orleans police chief mistakenly crashed her vehicle into 2 pedestrians, sending 1 to the hospital.
From the above: “And why is a frail elderly lady running a police department in such a challenging city?”
My answer, because she is the only one left?
Wasn’t it just a few days ago it was noted in Baltimore there was a shift when 3 cops were patrolling an area of 50,000 people and the dispatch was asking if anyone wanted overtime?
She worked for the FBY. And Rahm…Wikipoo…
Kirkpatrick began her career in law enforcement with the Memphis Police Department, and in Washington State was a police officer in Redmond and then a college instructor in criminal justice. She later served as Chief of Police for five years each in Ellensburg, Federal Way, and finally Spokane, from which position she retired in 2012 to become a leadership instructor for the FBI. She was also Chief Deputy of the King County Sheriff’s Office for two years.[1][2] In 2016 she was one of three finalists to become Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department; Mayor Rahm Emanuel subsequently appointed her Chief of the department’s Bureau of Professional Standards.[2]
Why is a frail, elderly lady running the PD for such a challenging city? Because she’s a complete libtard, DEI hire. Wouldn’t be surprised if she is a carpet muncher too.
Wow!
Of course they blame the “fireworks”, blaming the illegal gimmigrants they allowed in would make them culpable. Is “fireworks” the new word for bombs?
“NEW YEAR CHAOS: Migrants With Fireworks Attack German Police, Set Fire to Cars and Buildings – Five Killed in Disturbances – Berlin Authorities Blame… the Fireworks! (SHOCK VIDEOS)”
Excerpts:
Out-of-control migrants turned the New Year’s celebration in the German capital of Berlin into a living hell.
They set up explosions targeting cars and apartments and directed toward police.
Five people died from ‘fireworks accidents’ (a.k.a. migrant terror) in Germany on New Year’s Eve, triggering calls to ban… celebrations with pyrotechnics in the streets – not migrants!
The Telegraph reported:
“A 24-year-old man near Paderborn, in North Rhine-Westphalia, was killed by a homemade firework that detonated prematurely. Police believe he had constructed it himself, highlighting concerns about the dangers of unregulated or improvised fireworks.
That was too much of the fireworks and fireworks. On New Year’s Eve, a house on the corner of Belziger Straße and Hauptstraße in Schöneberg was so badly damaged that the windows broke and the façade of the house was affected.
According to information from this editorial office, a ball bomb explosion was responsible for this. A fire department spokesman said: “Many apartments are no longer habitable. There are four injured people, two of whom had to go to a clinic.”

I just finished reading page two of thread. Apparently they are saying their were “fireworks” in the Tesla cybertruck that exploded in front of Trump Tower Las Vegas.
My question still stands: Are they now going to call Bombs “fireworks”?
If it was “fireworks” that caused the explosion, why was the entire hotel evacuated? I despise these people that think the American public can’t handle the truth.
Improvised Explosive Fireworks, or IEF, will become the new thing.
No doubt filled with “material that if exposed to excessive heat can combust” or whatever that malarkey was that Chris Wray was peddling.
These terrorists are still showing themselves to be,…not very good at it.
In the case of the Tesla truck, apparently the only one killed, was the terrorist,…
I doubt anyone is going to be renting their cars out, thru that “Turo” any more.
And, going to be some interesting conversations with the Insurance companies, regarding both of these vehicles,…lol.
Did you watch the video?
There may or may not have been an actual bomb in the truck, but their was most definitely fireworks – you can see them as they hit the ground as they were thrown from the truck.
“As we enter New Year 2025, it’s reported that lighting struck the Capitol and the Washington Monument in DC, while in NYC, the Empire State building and the new World Trade Center were also struck. FOUR lighting strikes in one night!
Coincidence? Perhaps.
But consider …”
Or, God will not be mocked.
The Empire State Building gets struck by lightning every 2 weeks.

Video of the monster that murdered 15 people and injured 35. In the video he sounds like a normal guy just trying to make a buck selling Real Estate. How did he become so radicalized? I know there is a school somewhere in the Houston area where children give praise and prayer to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran and shout de**h to America.

Absolutely… this **** has been going on for decades. Enough. Just ask any of us boomers who remember what it was like in the 80’s before all this started.
New college grads with computer science degrees should be prioritized over H1B’s (most of whom have mediocre skills). Many of my daughter’s friends who graduated last spring with computer science degrees are still searching for jobs — most can’t even get an interview. My blood boils when I see what’s happening to our new college grads.
Here’s what it was like when I graduated in 1981…. My degree is in computer science, had excellent grades from a small SUNY school in upstate NY. Did a semester internship at Kodak (ONLY place I ever encountered mysogny in my 35+ yrs in tech). Didn’t learn anything at Kodak — pure waste of time but helped my resume.
And my degree was done 100% on punch cards. Bet most of you have never even seen a punch card reader, let alone used one. Imagine having to write code that you only get 10-20 tries to get both the syntax and the logic right. Computer time was expensive and it took time to run those punch cards through so you were limited in the number of runs to get it right.
Companies came to our campus, interviewed and then flew us out for on-site interviews. I had offers in CA, PA, DC, NY and MA by the time I graduated. Went to work in CA for HP and then was recruited a year later by my boss’s boss to a start-up. Five years there with an amazing team (company didn’t make it but I learned an immense amount). From there I worked the rest of my career as an independent consultant (when you could still do that and didn’t have to always go through a bigger vendor). Once I had those relationships I was able to avoid working through a broker. Luckily I had those in place and had a pretty specialized niche before the H1B wave started. I worked with hundreds of H1Bs over the years — most were mediocre at best — I don’t remember any who were truly exceptional talent. None that even came close to the American teams I worked with in the 80’s.
Fast forward to the late 90’s. H1B visas in full swing and now my software engineer husband who I met at that start-up can’t find a job. Brilliant, hard worker, would have worked for far under what he was worth. He just loved to code. Couldn’t even get an interview. Especially if it’s a company using H1B’s. His chances of getting an interview drop to virtully zero if the hiring manager was Indian. Incredibly demoralizing.
We finally moved to NC in 2005 so that he could find work. Landed a great job at Wells doing what he loved until he retired in 2016, and then he kept coding for free helping non profits and small family businesses until he passed away in 2018.
Many very talented programmers just gave up during the 2000’s when competition with the H1Bs made it too hard to find work.
So, for this boomer, it’s very personal. I’ve been watching what the H1B program has done to Americans for decades (and if you know me IRL, you’ve heard me bitch about this obnoxiously for that long too).
Stop the H1B program. Stop telling us that they have some magical specialized skills. They don’t. They never have. And they generally discriminate against hiring Americans once they are in hiring positions.
Prioritize the talented Americans who are looking for work in tech. Prioritize the new college grads — most of them are excited by the field and want to work hard.
Excellent rant. I have seen the HR people discriminate at my last job. I never gave it a thought until I looked up from my work one night. Not a computer nerd.
Very similar to what I saw, in my life working in “the trades” i.e. Construction.
When I started, a large construction site, either commercial bldg or tract homes, might have 1-2 illegals working as laborers.
And then, gradually we saw subcontractors hiring illegals in the ‘skilled trades’ of carpentry, cement finishing, roofing etc. and evenentually even plumbing and electrical would underbid and our employers would either start hiring illegals themselves, or go out of business.
Eventually, the only people on the jobsite that spoke english, were the foreman, so he could translate orders from the suits.
And when we complained,we were told to “learn to code “.
Respectfully, how many of you were protesting the bringing in of illegals, for the building trades, the hospitality industry, etc.?
Or, is it only when your own Ox is gored?
The 6-8 years spent learning a trade, are no different than the 6-8 years spent in University, the cost is different, but not less.
We payed with wear and tear on our bodies, starting off as laborers, and working our way up thru apprentice, and we “paid” for our training in low pay…
Clarion never give up, “Fight, fight, fight”.
.
ELIMINATION of HB1 visas is an important MAGA issue.
.
Remove and replace HB1 visas with individual case consideration of people, which should include extreme vetting of talents.
Client list…
No doubt!
ICYMI – FYI – WTF – Trust No One – ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Elon Musk CONFIRMS: Terrorists Just Attacked Trump Tower With MASSIVE Bomb Detonated in Cybertruck
It wasn’t a”Massive” bomb, I saw the video.
Only one killed was the driver, and those injured it was minor.
Thing continued to pop off, every few seconds, so either batteries exploding, or he didn’t fuse the explosives properly.
Must be something about those who are ideologically driven to do something like this…
They don’t seem to have any imagination or creativity, …
I mean, without breaking a sweat I could figure out how to shut down and cripple an entire large city, and if you did say,…7-10 such cities at the same time, collapse the country.
Good thing I’m too old, and have no interest at all in virgins.
I mean, if they tell you your the best in bed, what does that mean? NOTHING, LOL.
*rollseyes*
The Oklahoma City bomb was a massive bomb.
The explosion in the TardTruck barely took the hatchback off.
TerrorTwit couldn’t even blow up an EV?
Not sending their worst.
Not surprising, Asian countries are the most optimistic for economic Growth in 2025. Why wouldn’t they be optimistic, they manufacture 80% of the West’s goods. China has made $Trillions from the Green Nee Scam. They promptly used that money to infiltrate entire countries in Africa and South America.
“Asia Dominates The World’s Most Economically Optimistic Countries”
Excerpts:
Going into 2025, the most optimistic countries are in Asia, particularly emerging markets like Indonesia, Malaysia, and India that have benefited from shifting global supply chains and demographic factors. Moreover, Indonesia and India are forecast to see among the fastest real GDP growth across major economies over the next decade.
When it comes to China, 78% of consumers have optimistic views on the global economy while Japan and South Korea are the two countries in Asia with a notably pessimistic outlook for the global economy next year.
For U.S. consumers, expectations rose by nine percentage points from last year’s survey, resulting in an optimistic majority of 54%. While tariffs stand to add new price pressures, Trump’s proposed tax cuts could help support economic growth.
By contrast, European countries have the most pessimistic views on the global economy. Amid looming trade wars and sustained energy price shocks from the Russia-Ukraine war, seven of the 10 most pessimistic countries were found on the continent.

Explaining The Cleansing of American White Men From Tech: A Primer
Funny – these look to be fireworks. This is certainly not “an arsenal of explosives.”
If you want to see a real bomb, think back to “Oklahoma City.” A rental truck was packed full of mining explosives: the real stuff, capable of breaking rock underground. (And: the drivers didn’t kill themselves.)
None of us are yet quite sure what this incident actually was . . . but to me it seems “extremely amateur.” However, let’s see what the LEO’s have to say over the next few days. Criminal investigation does take time.
Oklahoma City was Amoniam Nitrate. (Fertilizer) For years after,you couldn’t buy a large bag at Home Depot without being looked at. We bought it by the ton for our farm and had to sign for it….
Ammonium Nitrate and Diesel Fuel.
General Mike Flynn weighs in on the likelihood that the threee letter agencies knew about attacks in advance.
The idiots in the FBI don’t want you to call this a terrorist attack. That is what it is…now that we’re past that, the most important aspects are what is not currently being reported.
The White House is telling the Mayor of NOLA to stop calling it a terrorist attack after the mayor said it was (WHY!?). The media needs to pin them all down (what was known).
Again, it is not what you call it in the end that matters. What matters is if there was intelligence prior in some agency or department and it wasn’t acted upon. A failure of decision makers not a failure of intelligence.
Prevention is what we shoot for, that is what the hard work of intelligence does. If you don’t follow it and hunt down every lead, then you end up in a reactive, after the fact mode. This, tragically, is where we are for what should have been a very joyous occasion. Members of my family were walking along bourbon street last night at midnight.
Another big question, what’s next and are the people with knowledge rapidly cross leveling intelligence to prevent the next attack?
And God help anyone inside our current government or anyone who used to be in our government still working with elements inside that have any knowledge of these events and have said or done nothing. This knowledge will be discovered and appropriate action taken.
Enough said.
I would wager there are far more than 1,000. We have had 2,000,000+ illegal “gotaways” in the past four years.
“Former CIA Officer Warns: 1,000 Al-Qaeda Fighters In US For Next Homeland Attack”
Excerpts:
In a recent discussion on the Shawn Ryan Show, former CIA targeting officer Sarah Adams warned of a potentially devastating attack planned by Al-Qaeda terrorists on American soil.
The interview offers significant insights into what may be unfolding, as Al-Qaeda sleeper cells could be activating in the wake of the New Orleans terrorist attack and a possible vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) in the rear of a rented Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas just hours later.
Ryan asked Adams: “I just want to clarify. You are 100% certain that there are 1,000 plus Al-Qaeda-trained fighters within the US borders?”
Adams, currently a global threat advisor with extensive experience in Middle Eastern affairs, responded: “Well, Al-Qaeda says they trained and deployed a thousand for this attack. First off, I think there are more than a thousand Al-Qaeda members in the United States, but for the Homeland Attack, that number is based on what Al-Qaeda is saying, so they could exaggerate it; however, they did have about 1,400 in the Hamas Attack so the number is not off from what they did in the first round of attacks.”
The terrorist attack on Bourbon Street, along with the postponement of the Sugar Bowl at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, suggests that something larger is unfolding.
“There’s far too much of this happening—and when an attack on our homeland emanating from Afghanistan occurs, the resulting moral injury will be catastrophic. Those who served deserve far better than this!” Adams wrote hours before the attack on Tuesday night
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/former-cia-officer-warns-al-qaedas-us-homeland-attack-could-be-next
They are saying the attack in New Orleans involved 4-5 others.
Either they totally avoided using any kind of electronic communications to plan their attack, or there is no point in sacrificing our privacy/liberty, in order to have the whole NSA database and FISA system.
If it can’t stop such attacks, what good is it?
Something that just occurred to me…
Even though they long fir power, the Dem wing of the Uniparty are actually lousy, once they get in office. Look at Carter and Joe.
BUT, OUT of power, is where they excel. After all, they are Community agitators/organisers, they LOVE a good protest, and going up against a police line in riot gear.
Right now, they are disorganised and disheartened, but the ones who don’t red-pill, will become even more hard core, and go the SDS/Weather Underground route; its in their nature.
Something to consider,going forward.
Never heard of a Community organizer until Obama was elected.
Senator Kennedy of Louisiana is asked if there are any other terrorist threats out there. His response is chilling, especially after he recently said that he and Governor Landry were absolutely going to tell the truth about the terrorist attack in NOLA.
Q: “Are you getting the sense that there is any threat of any other potential attacks tonight on any other major cities?”
Sen. John Kennedy: “I can’t answer that. I can, but I won’t.”
Sen. Foghorn Leghorn weighs in.
