The First Week of 2025
By Clarice Feldman
The first week of 2025 is a reminder that while the country and the world face peril, we are on the cusp of a revolution in the West by voters who demand accountability and a sweeping out of arrogant, corrupt, and incompetent leadership. The week began here with an Islamist from Houston who plowed an F-150 into New Year’s celebrants on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street. He left the truck and began firing into the crowd. Brave law enforcement officers dashed to the scene of the mayhem and eliminated him and the threat.
The first announcement by the FBI denied that it was terrorism, though the perpetrator’s truck carried an ISIS flag that law enforcement or the FBI had tried to cover from view. That was retracted shortly afterward though the Bureau emphasized he acted alone -- this under circumstances too early in any investigation to be credible.
At about the same time, a military man home on leave from Germany rented a Tesla truck, loaded it with explosive materials, and drove it to the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, where 17 seconds after parking, he shot himself to death and the explosives were triggered. The second incident is particularly mysterious as the purported driver had a sterling record, was well-versed in explosive devices and surely knew the Tesla would -- as it did -- contain the explosion. For days online posters with various levels of expertise and good sense have been trying to solve the mystery. One of the most prevalent hypotheses was that the driver was shot before the incident and the truck made it to the scene by means of its self-driving capabilities. This proved to be the least plausible as Tesla engineers confirmed the vehicle was not ever in self-driving mode and videos of the charging stations showed the person law enforcement said was the driver charging the vehicle. Whatever the truth is, few people any longer trust the FBI to give a credible account. The agency has lost our respect as regards integrity, veracity, and competence. For years now it has been tracking down grandmas who walked through the Capitol on January 6, surveilling school board meetings and churches, and doing little to monitor and protect us against what every rational person knows -- the growing threat of Moslem extremists.
Almost instantly, it gave us yet another reason to distrust it.
