Appreciate your work in the Oncology field.

I have cancer.

And to make your assessment more like this morning is to say a local doctor tells me it looks alot like cancer....but sends me to the specialist in Oncology. When I get there, the spokesperson for the center tells me "It is not cancer".
Only to then later find out I have cancer, after all the facts are in.

So why start me off telling me I don't have cancer, and then to screw with me by then telling me yes it is cancer and we knew it all along but did not want to initially alarm you.

That is the correct analogy of this morning with the FBI.

I can’t argue with this. If the guy came out and said definitively “this is not terrorism” than that would be just as bad as me saying “this isn’t cancer” before I had the facts.

If that is the case I would still hope this is more incompetence by a local branch more than a coordinated effort to cover up something.

What are the agendas are being driven again? I see a bunch of Right Leaning personalities going on about DEI and open borders this morning. Is there more than that?

You don’t always have to call offsetting personal fouls.

There is no "IF" , the FBI spokes woman came out right away and said not terriorist attack.
It is on video.
It has been the FBIs method for a few years now. Speak it away and let the media cover for it.

And now it is obvious some type of terrorism, so where is the president.

Let's not jump to any conclusions though before declaring it a terrorist attack. ***
Is this when a president or someone in charge is supposed to address the country?

Is anyone going to be safer with him interrupting the Rose Bowl to read this same statement on TV?

Would be safer if he stops selling all the border fence material for pennies on the dollar, but that is too late now.
Does he just get a pass to stay hidden?

I'd like a stronger border as well. Appears to be irrelevant for this terrorist event regardless of what future president is saying to support his political goals. Maybe the dead Texan citizen terrorist had help that crossed the border? Guess we will find out...

Same place he has been the 45% percent of the past four years. On vacation.

Can I ask, what does it matter what it is called? At the end of the day a lunatic murdered a lot of people, if the label of terrorist attack comes off of it, what does that change?
Does it not carry implications for what organizations will have direct involvement in the investigation, including ultra-near term things like who is involved and what other threats may still exist?

Idk. The distinction sure seemed to carry official significance to the FBI.

What? You mean Fox put out erroneous information that would get their viewers all up in arms, leading to more clicks on their social media platforms? You don’t say.
Turns out what I saw was wrong. It did cross the border, three days ago. They had initially said two days. The driver was not the perp. The truck was a Turo rental.

US citizen. Lived in Texas. Was an HR specialist in the USArmy according to his videos directly on YouTube . But let’s continue with the border conspiracies.
Two different reports say the truck came across the border at Eagle Pass, TX in November and again 2 days ago, no location on 2nd crossing or occupants name given. Truck was a rental from one of those "rent your personal vehicle out" agencies

I think November is proof that Americans are indeed “starting to catch on.” FWIW, I don’t even particularly care much for DJT.

If he had an ISIS flag on his truck we may never know why he did it.***
My point is that he was probably radicalized online rather than by an illegal immigrant, and any spin attempts to try to tie this to "the border crisis" are going to fall flat.

A bad American (probably influenced by bad people in other countries, but we'll see) did an awful thing. No need to weave it into an unrelated narrative.

They are looking for others. I guess it is possible those people if they do exist could have.

I was making a sarcastic point about how some networks in the not-so-distant past reported on Muslim terrorists acting as though Islam was entirely irrelevant. And yes I'm aware that most Muslims aren't terrorists and aren't likely to ever become terrorists.

I don’t like to talk about religion because I don’t like to discuss my own personal beliefs. I’ve been dead to the world today because the cold I’ve had since Christmas is kicking my ***, but the moment I heard about the attack, I knew which religion was responsible. I’m sick and 17ing tired of them destroying world history and killing innocent people.

There’s been enough cases of illegals committing heinous crimes so it’s not a conspiracy.
We have to secure the border and that should begin again in earnest in a couple of weeks!
This was a very senseless act of homegrown violence and terror and I don’t know how you prevent those deranged individuals from doing such acts.
