As more information emerges about the ISIS-supporting terrorist who ran down dozens of people in New Orleans, leaving at least 10 dead, it has now been revealed that he recorded several disturbing videos on his drive from Texas.

For the first time since FDR and the Great Depression, voters who identify as Republicans outnumber Democrats by a significant margin, according to data released this week by Gallup. Not just Gallup, either. Political analyst Patrick Ruffini noted Monday, “After the exit polls were reweighted to reflect the final popular vote result, Republicans outnumbered Democrats by 5 points in the AP VoteCast survey and by 4 points in the network exit polls.”
The man who drove a truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers in New Orleans’ French Quarter, killing 15, has been identified as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, a US citizen.
The Ford electric vehicle was owned by another 42-year-old man from Houston, Texas. The truck had reportedly been rented out on Turo, and police are in contact with the owner who listed it for rent.
The gunman was killed by police after he slammed a truck into pedestrians celebrating the New Year, exited the vehicle, and started firing.
BREAKING:
Shamsud Din Jabbar has been named as the New Orleans attacker.

Never trust the FBI
Hold up.
An FBI Agent with a nose ring who can barely speak coherent English sentences told the media that a terrorist driving a truck with an ISIS flag killing 10 Americans is NOT a terrorist attack!?!
Seriously. listen to this

Thanks to a military appeals court, the masterminds behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks are back on track when it comes to being spared from the death penalty. The decision came on Monday night and became a trending topic over X for Tuesday, with many expressing outrage at the outgoing Biden-Harris administration as a result.
Donald Trump’s threat of whopping tariffs on Canadian exports and his trolling of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are key tactics in a negotiating strategy to extract the best trade terms for the U.S., according to people who have worked with or closely observed him over the years.
Trump is promising to slap a 25 per cent tariff on all goods entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico on Jan. 20, his first day in office, unless the countries curb the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders.
The president-elect has since followed up that threat by taunting Trudeau by calling him “governor” and referring to Canada as the “51st state” in a succession of social media posts.
MAGA hardliners on Monday intensified their feud with Elon Musk over immigration policy, despite the Tesla mogul’s conciliatory gesture over the weekend. The harsh words against Mr. Musk deepened the disagreement between two factions of fervent Trump supporters over whether the looming crackdown on immigration should apply to high-skilled tech workers.
Mr. Musk and his co-commissioner for the Department of Government Efficiency, Vivek Ramaswamy, kicked off the controversy on Christmas Day, when the latter described American culture itself as unproductive and distracting from economic success — and expressed support for the H-1B visa for skilled technology workers, most of whom come from India and China.
Knife-wielding Tren de Aragua gang members are mobbing border crossings at El Paso, Texas, in an attempt to break into the US — and have said they will attack border guards who try to stop them, according to a shocking Texas law enforcement memo leaked to The Post.
Last week, 20 of the Venezuelan gangbangers — armed with blades, tire irons and broken liquor bottles — tried to force their way into the US at a border gate, the missive from the Texas Department of Public Safety read.
There are not many politicians who are remembered most for what they do after they leave office, rather than what they achieve, or fail to achieve, in it. However, Jimmy Carter is one such example. In the 44 years since he left the White House he not only managed to rehabilitate his reputation, he became the nearest thing there is to a living saint. At least, that is certainly the case if you read some of the tributes made to him by people on the Left of politics.
He’s gone from being seen as a disastrous failure as president, to an example of a great humanitarian. His contemporary, British prime minister James Callaghan, experienced something similar. He was seen as a dreadful prime minister at the time, presiding over a country in deep decline and riven by industrial strife. I know. I was there. Yet Left-wing revisionist historians now portray him as some sort of political hero.
A state-sponsored actor in China hacked the U.S. Treasury Department, gaining access to the workstations of government employees and unclassified documents, the Biden administration said on Monday.
The announcement comes after revelations in recent months that China had penetrated deep into U.S. telecommunications systems, gaining access to the phone conversations and text messages of U.S. officials and others.
In a letter informing lawmakers of the episode, the Treasury Department said that it had been notified on Dec. 8 by a third-party software service company, BeyondTrust, that the hacker had obtained a security key that allowed it to remotely gain access to certain Treasury workstations and documents on them.
The current clashes over high-skilled immigration between Donald Trump’s right-wing base and his ‘first buddy’, Elon Musk, reveal a fundamental divide within the US president’s odd coalition. On one side are the populists concerned with jobs being prioritised for American workers. On the other, libertarians fret about how businesses can compete on a global scale.
Consumed with another caucus insurrection, I doubt Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has any remaining bandwidth to focus on Canada’s clear and present danger.
Donald Trump will be inaugurated in a matter of days and there’s no coherent strategy to tackle these three key issues…
The head of the North American Aerospace Defence Command says Chinese and Russian air co-operation in the Arctic has Norad’s “full attention.”
Those two countries for the first time staged a joint patrol in the Arctic near the coast of Alaska last July.
U.S. Gen. Gregory Guillot told The Canadian Press in a year interview that it potentially takes decades for two nations’ militaries to reach “full integration” at a level like the U.S. and Canada.
By now, everybody knows that the 39th president of the U.S., Jimmy Carter, died on Sunday at age 100. Here in Georgia, we’ll see wall-to-wall coverage of everything Carter ever did and said for weeks now. On Sunday, social media was all Jimmy, all the time.
They ignore America’s real majority
At home: disorder in the streets and a rising tide of drugs. Abroad: a shameful, humiliating withdrawal from an Asian outpost of empire. In politics: a conservative demagogue, backed by the silent majority, sweeps aside an ineffectual liberal stooge. In culture: fights over abortion, and women, and music, all conjuring a feeling that the republic is doomed. Am I talking about pot and Saigon and the sweep of Richard Nixon, or fentanyl and Kabul and the return of Donald Trump? I could be describing either, for both 1968 and 2024 feel like chaotically epochal years in the American story. Nor are these the only similarities between past and present. Just as in the Sixties, liberals today are faced with an urgent question: what now?
The answer, I think, is epitomised in a single book. Written by Ben Wattenberg and Richard M. Scammon in 1970, The Real Majority: An Extraordinary Examination of the American Electorate charted the political centre in the new Nixonian age. Over half a century on, it still offers deep insights for navigating a society in flux, even as it shrewdly leavens its electoral insights with clear and evocative language. Especially with Donald Trump the new American leviathan, moreover, The Real Majority offers another enduring truth — if liberals fail to occupy the heartland of American politics, wily conservatives will rush to get there first.
TORONTO — Canada’s government is melting down at the worst possible moment.
The country is girding for the return of Donald Trump, who many here see as an existential threat to Canada’s security. He has threatened to slap 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods, levies that could crush the economy of a country that sends nearly 80 percent of its exports to its southern neighbor.
And he has taken to mocking embattled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the “governor” of the “great state of Canada” in middle-of-the-night social media posts that officials here have sought to cast as lighthearted ribbing but others view as not-so-neighborly and not-so-funny. On Christmas, he said he’d pitched hockey great Wayne Gretzky on becoming Canada’s next prime minister.
