      Seems that the attacker was shot and killed by law enforcement.  Black flag on the truck, but I can’t tell if it is an ISIS flag.

      A law enforcement source identified him as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar. The source said he was carrying an ISIS flag in the truck.

      Islam: The Politically Incorrect Truth

      46,517 religiously-driven murders since 9/11.

      Next year is America’s 250th birthday. Thought I’d just remind everyone that in 1788, when America was barely a country, our sailors were taken and enslaved by the Muslims in the Mediterranean. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams confronted the Muslim ambassador, stating “we weren’t in the Crusades, we weren’t in the Spanish war…why do you attack our ships and enslave our sailors?” The Muslim ambassador, Sidi Haji Abdrahaman replied “because the Qu’ran allows us to do so.” TJ replies “then we will send a great navy to crush your state.

      And he did. Barbary coast corsairs from Algiers, Tunis & Tripoli and the Sultanate of Morocco caputred American merchant ships. Between 1 mm and 1.25 mm. Europeans were sold as slaves by Barbary pirates between the 16th and 19th centuries.

      The Pasha of Tripoli demanded a $225,000 tribute on Jefferson’s inauguration as president.  Jefferson refused, then the Pasha declared war against the USA. In 1802, Congress built a navy. American marines won a series of battles and the First and Second Barbary Coast War (in 1815).

      The Tripoli monument is the oldest military monument in the United States, transported from Italy by the U. S. S. Constitution. If you visit the U. S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, you can see it there.

      From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli….

      What is crazy about the Barbary Wars is that the UK didn’t do it first. Barbary pirates literally took over towns on islands off the Irish and Welsh coasts and took all the adults as slaves. Considering that the UK was busy trying to to abolish slavery at the time, you would have thought that they would have taken action against the Barbary pirates beforehand. Then again, they had more resources to simply pay the tribute.

      Curious whether he is a recent convert who was radicalized. Interesting that ISIS has reared its ugly head again.

      Incredible.

      Speaking of Thomas Jefferson, his gravestone lists three accomplishments. Being President isn’t one of them:

      1. Writer of Declaration of Independence
      2. Founded the University of Virginia
      3. Drafting the Virginia Act for Establishing Religious Freedom

      Investigators did, however, determine that the Tesla truck was rented through the Turo app, the same one used to rent the pickup truck used in the New Orleans attack, law enforcement sources told The Post.

      “We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself. All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion,” Musk wrote on X.

      Huh.
