Tesla Cybertruck Explodes Out Of Trump Vegas Hotel. That can’t be coincidence, can it? Signs point to ‘no’:
A Tesla Cybertruck filled with large firework mortars and gas canisters exploded near the entrance of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday morning, killing the driver and injuring seven others, according to police.
Just Your Typical Muslim Terrorist Who Served For 13 Years In The Army And The Army Reserve. Won’t change Trump’s meme and the knee-jerk reaction from the mouth-breathers:
The bureau identified the driver as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, an Army veteran originally from Texas. He was killed at the scene in a shootout with law enforcement in which two officers were injured, New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said at a Wednesday news conference.
Jabbar deployed to Afghanistan from 2009 to 2010 while on active duty as a human resources specialist, according to brief service details provided by the Army. He left active duty in January 2015 and continued to serve part-time in the Army Reserve, switching careers to information technology.
Jabbar was a U.S. citizen from Texas, the FBI said, contradicting a statement made by President-elect Donald Trump on his Truth Social platform that appeared to link Wednesday’s attack to “criminals coming in” to the United States.
An Awful Preview Of The Upcoming General Assembly. Just pathetic. From the News-Journal. One Democrat is quoted in the article. Two Rethugs. Does the News-Journal charge reporters for making phone calls to legislators now? The good news? You’ll get far better coverage right here, and it won’t cost you anything.
Matt Meyer’s Transparency Agenda. Good stuff:
With Matt Meyer ascending to Delaware’s top elected post this month, the state will be getting a governor who has professed support for a string of transparency reforms, including many that would force lawmakers to disclose more information to the public than they do today.
They include calls for expanding the state’s open records laws to the legislature; requiring politicians to publicly disclose business relationships with lobbyists; and prohibiting departing elected officials from immediately taking jobs as lobbyists, in state government, or from entering into state contracts.
But not nearly enough. Here’s my Tranparency Agenda.
Didn’t start out to write such a truncated Open Thread. Just happened that way.
