From Not A Terrorist Attack To "He Was Totes On His Own" In No Time Flat

So the FBI is now assuring us that not only was the New Orleans Islamic terrorist indeed committing an act of terrorism, but he completely acted on his own.

The Detroit News: FBI says driver in New Orleans rampage acted alone, was '100%' inspired by Islamic State group

Awfully quick and convenient to come to that conclusion, especially as the mosque he attended is telling its members not to talk to the FBI or other investigators.   Especially as up until the narrative needed to be changed they stated he had worked with others.

The mosque officials their post called it a terrible event (much along the lines of some people did something) and put in quotes  that the FBI is now calling it an "act of terror". 

The mosque and imams there are rather interesting, but likely not atypical.

Perhaps the FBI should investigate a bit more before jumping to conclusions, especially as their initial conclusion that it was not a terrorist event was, shall we say, rather missed the plot and was contrary to all evidence.

Of Lame Ducks, Chicken Eggs, and Chicken Sh*T

The Lame Duck session in Michigan is rapidly going from tragedy to farce as the Democrats who control the legislature and executive are trying to ram through as much of their progressive wish-list as they can.

Already their progressive agenda is causing both an egg shortage, and an increase in the price of eggs in Michigan from a law that had already passed and now goes into effect:

The Detroit Free Press:  Michigan to require cage-free eggs Jan. 1: What it means for you

Because with egg prices already up due to Bidenflation, it is the perfect time to ram through a massive and expensive change to practically all of Michigan's egg farmers in order to satisfy a progressive agenda.

Now for the Chicken Sh*t. 

Of course the Michgian Dems had to push through a lot of anti-gun bills:

 NRA-ILA:  Michigan: Anti-Gun Legislation Passed in the Middle of the Night Heads To Governor’s Desk

The Dems even introduced a bill to ban "deceptively colored firearms".

Why are Democrats so obsessed about color, whether in people or things?

The bill would ban not just possessing a firearm if it was not black, brown, dark gray, dark green, silver, steel or nickel - put also possessing any "deceptive coloring product" that could change the color of a firearm to something other than black, brown, dark gray, dark green, silver, steel or nickel.

Got some spray paint in your possession in anything other than the above approved colors?   

Under the bill, you have a "deceptive coloring product" and are now committing a misdemeanor punishable by a year in jail and/or a $500 fine.   Unsurprisingly, state and federal agencies are exempt from this law.

Thankfully this has stalled out.

But its amazing the stupid things that anti-gun right Democrats can do with control of the legislative and executive branches. (Thank you so much Tudor Dixon, Kristina Karamo, and Matthew Deperno for running the worst and most tone-deaf campaigns in 2020 when the race was yours to lose, and lose it you did, giving us this mess.)

Quite a lot more got pushed through.

- A tax break for data centers, including exempting their equipment from sales tax, because there's no capitalism like Democrat Crony Capitalism.  Note well the Democrats absolutely fought tooth and nail against lowering the sales tax for all the people of Michigan, but have no problems giving their buddies a complete exemption.

- increasing unemployment insurance benefits which will increase the costs to business that have to pay the premiums, and qualifying domestic violence victims to be able to get unemployment payments if they quit their job.

- and much more to the detriment of the people of this state.

And of course, it wouldn't be Dems running things without a farce, as even controlling the House, Senate and Governor's office they still couldn't get their act together.

The Detroit Free Press:  Michigan's Democratic trifecta hits logjam amid lame-duck chaos

As lawmakers entered the final stretch of the lame-duck session in Lansing on Wednesday, they seemed to turn finger-pointing into a competitive sport.

The absence of one House Democrat — state Rep. Karen Whitsett, D-Detroit — denied Democrats a quorum Wednesday with all House Republicans absent as they continued to prolong their protest to force votes on legislation to preserve Michigan's tipped minimum wage and preempt forthcoming changes to paid sick leave. Whitsett did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

 Yep, even controlling it all, they couldn't force all their agenda past the finish line.

23 Years Since 9/11

And the FBI is still fundamentally unserious when it comes to Islamic Terrorism.

From Breitbart: FBI: New Orleans Ramming Suspect Identified as ‘Shamsud Din Jabbar’

The suspect accused of plowing a pickup truck through a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing 10 and injuring at least 30 on New Year’s Day, is named Shamsud Din Jabbar, according to a law enforcement source, Nola.com reported.

The outlet also reported the suspect is 42 years old and that he was carrying an Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) flag in the vehicle.

Police shot and killed him after the attack.

The attack occurred around 3:15 a.m.

FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Aletha Duncan first said the attack was not a “terrorist event.”

Not “a terrorist event”.

One wonders what act if any by Islamists would qualify as a terrorist event for the FBI?

Of course, they eventually said that yes, the Islamist running his truck into a crowd, with  IEDs in the truck, and flying an ISIS flag (which interestingly was covered up and concealed by the FBI initially), was indeed a terrorist attack. 

Amazing powers of deduction the FBI has.  Sherlock Holmes would be most impressed.
