| | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 🛻 A suspected terrorist attack killed at least 15 in New Orleans. A Texas man, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, allegedly drove his pickup truck into a crowd of people on the crowded Bourbon St. in downtown New Orleans early on Wednesday morning, then exited his vehicle and proceeded to shoot civilians until he was neutralized by police. Jabbar previously served in the US Army, though he was found to have an ISIS flag in his truck; he also made past donations to Democrats, and the FBI believes he may not have acted alone. | 💥 Tesla Cybertruck explosion at Trump Las Vegas probed as possible terror act. Authorities are investigating a Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas after the electric truck containing "camp fuel canisters and large firework mortars" burst into flames, killing the driver and injuring seven. Though no direct link has yet been confirmed between this incident and the New Orleans terror attack, both the Cybertruck and the New Orleans terrorist's truck were acquired through the same rental app, Turo. | 🇵🇸 Hundreds of pro-Palestine protesters marched in NYC. Hundreds marched in Manhattan, chanting "Intifada revolution" and carrying signs like "Zionism is cancer" and "End all US aid to Israel," just hours after the suspected terror attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas. While the demonstration called for an uprising against Israel, a small group of pro-Israel counter-protesters waved flags and shouted back. | 🔫 Nearly one dozen are wounded following a mass shooting in Queens. At least 10 teenagers and young adults, aged 16 to 20, were injured when four men opened fire outside the Amazura nightclub in Queens, New York City, on Wednesday night. The attackers fired over 30 shots into a crowd, and all victims are expected to survive after being transported to local hospitals. |

| *Indicates content from our sponsors | | | MY THOUGHTS | The New Orleans "Attacker" | Good morning. Here's a headline from yesterday's Washington Post: "New Orleans attacker made videos indicating ISIS inspiration before killing 15." Notice there's no mention of jihadism or the possibility that this was a terror attack. | The attacker was born in the United States and served in the Army — so naturally, the media minimizes his religious or ethnic identity, even when it matters. This has become the media's playbook, not just here but globally. | Consider the riots in England last July. A UK-born Rwandan man stabbed and killed multiple young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class. The media and government portrayed the terrorist as simply another Englishman, which fueled riots. Months later, reports emerged that the attacker had Al-Qaeda manuals in his home, confirming his ties to terrorism. | This selective framing isn't just misleading — it's dangerous. It distorts the narrative, ignores key facts, and keeps the public in the dark about the real threats. | |

| | | 💬 COMMENT OF THE DAY | From The Right's Explosive Feud Over High-Skilled Immigration: | "The elephant is the room is: H-1B visa workers have a maximum of 6 years they can work before they have to return to their country of origin taking all their knowledge and expertise with them. That loss makes the U.S. weaker not stronger. If the H-1B offered a path to citizenship without requiring a corporate sponsor it would actually be a beneficial program." — Mark VN | Want to be featured? Upgrade to comment on our daily articles |
