President-elect Donald Trump weighed in during the early morning hours Thursday on the despicable New Orleans terror attack and said the United States has become a “disaster” and a “laughing stock all over the World!” under the current Joe Biden-Kamala Harris regime.
Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World! This is what happens when you have OPEN BORDERS, with weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership. The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job. They are incompetent and…

His post continues:
They are incompetent and corrupt, having spent all of their waking hours unlawfully attacking their political opponent, ME, rather than focusing on protecting Americans from the outside and inside violent SCUM that has infiltrated all aspects of our government, and our Nation itself. Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen to our Country. The CIA must get involved, NOW, before it is too late. The USA is breaking down - A violent erosion of Safety, National Security, and Democracy is taking place all across our Nation. Only strength and powerful leadership will stop it. See you on January 20th. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Bourbon Street Death Toll Hits 15 As Disturbing Details of Terrorist Emerge
As we’ve reported, the FBI believes that the psychotic terrorist may not have acted alone:
The FBI late Wednesday released a more recent photo of Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the suspect in the New Year’s Day terror attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans that killed 15 people and injured others.
The FBI said 42-year-old Jabbar is a U.S. citizen and Army veteran from Texas.
“FBI special agents and our law enforcement partners are currently conducting a number of court-authorized search warrants in New Orleans and other states,” the bureau said in a statement. “The FBI's Evidence Response Team continues to process the crime scene to meticulously gather all relevant evidence.”
The FBI said it plans to turn over the Bourbon Street crime scene to local authorities early Thursday morning.
Shamsud Din Jabbar was able to plow onto Bourbon Street from Canal Street in New Orleans, in his pickup truck with an ISIS flag, because the steel barriers weren’t raised.

While I would have wanted to simply wish you a Happy New Year, this tragic—sick—event has taken center stage. I pray for the victims and their families. New Orleans holds a special place in my heart because I trekked there with my college buddies many moons ago for Mardi Gras, and it was an unforgettable experience. Meanwhile, I had perhaps the most special moment ever with my late father in the Big Easy, and I will never forget it.

Critics will of course say that Trump is capitalizing on a tragedy. Could this have happened on his watch? Of course. But there is a sense in this country that our “authorities” have taken their eye off the ball—that they’re too concerned with social justice and DEI and transgenderism and climate change and whatever else—than they are about keeping the American people safe.
It’s still too early to know if this could have been prevented or if warning signs were missed. What is clear, however, is that much more attention must be paid to this threat, and these types and their depraved ideology need to be eliminated—with prejudice.
