Happy New Year! One of the happiest parts is that in 19 days, we will have actual leadership in the White House, and not a moment too soon. As RedState reported, New Orleans suffered a horrendous overnight terrorist attack on Wednesday. A man in a white truck barreled down the famous Bourbon Street in New Orleans French Quarter and fired a weapon into the crowd, killing 10 people and injuring many more. The New Orleans Police Department and the FBI are sorting through the wreckage and identifying the suspect, as well as the victims. RedState will continue to report on the details as they unfold.
Since winning the election on November 5, President-elect Trump has pretty much taken on the mantle of Acting President through his commentary on Truth Social, as well as the actions he has been taking in forming his cabinet and setting national policy. After the NOLA attack, Trump issued a statement on Truth Social at 9:48 a.m. ET.
When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true. The crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before. Our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department. The Trump Administration will fully support the City of New Orleans as they investigate and recover from this act of pure evil!
After the FBI bumbled their response when their special agent denied it was a terrorist attack, right after New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell announced that it was, it seemed some face needed to be saved. So, when President Joe Biden sent out this statement at 10:05 a.m. ET, he took great pains to mention his national security team and to ensure the nation that his administration is still in charge and they have everything under control.
