Washington, D.C. wants to keep a wrap on things. But one politician has had enough.
And now a U.S. Senator is on the run after what he just confessed about the FBI on Fox News.
The tragedy in New Orleans, Louisiana has seriously rocked the American people all over the country. Many Americans are frustrated that there have not been clear answers as to how this happened and the facts surrounding the sad passing of around 15 people early on New Year’s Day. Not only that, but it seems as though some authorities have been trying to keep a lid on some of the facts, as if they don’t trust the American people with the whole truth, at least not yet.
For example, it was clear that there was a flag in the Ford truck that the suspect used to crash into a crowd k*lling a dozen and injuring dozens more. Everyone wanted to know what that flag was. The authorities would not tell anyone and it took leaks for the public to know that the flag was an ISIS flag just as many had predicted. What was the purpose of hiding that fact other than to keep a lid on certain narratives from spreading?

Sen. John Kennedy Presses FBI for Answers on New Orleans Terror Attack Amid Past Security Failures
Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana vowed on Wednesday to continue pressing the FBI for answers regarding the suspected terrorist attack that took place in New Orleans. The incident, which occurred early Wednesday morning, involved 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, who drove a Ford pickup truck into a crowd of revelers before being k*lled in a shootout with police. The attack resulted in at least 10 fatalities and dozens of injuries, leaving the community in shock and prompting questions about government preparedness and security failures.
Kennedy appeared on Special Report with guest host Aishah Hasnie, where he expressed his deep emotional turmoil, describing himself as “straddling” the line between anger and grief. “There’s a fine line between anger and grief, and I’m pretty much straddling that line right now,” he said. “If you don’t believe in objective evil, all you need to do is go walk about 30 or 40 yards that way, we’ve still got bodies on the ground. That’s one of the reasons we postponed the game.”
Senator Kennedy was referring to the tragic aftermath of the attack, which occurred during a local celebration. The community had to pause the scheduled events, as the horror of the situation became apparent. The senator emphasized that his involvement was deeply personal. “I’m here for two reasons: One, these are my people, these are my people’s guests. Number two, I don’t want to hear from anybody in the federal government that they don’t have the resources,” Kennedy said, underscoring his frustration with the apparent lack of federal preparedness.
Kennedy’s remarks shed light on his stance toward the federal agencies involved in the investigation, such as the White House, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security. While he expressed a willingness to cooperate with these agencies, he made it clear that he expected swift and thorough action. “Now, the White House, the FBI, Justice, Homeland Security are in charge now. We’re cooperating with them. I want to give them a reasonable period of time,” he said. “There is a lot of information out there, some of it is actually true. I want to give them a reasonable period of time. But they need to saddle up and ride. We need to find out what happened here.”
Despite his cooperative tone, Kennedy expressed skepticism about the transparency of the FBI’s investigation. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Kennedy has significant oversight responsibilities, and he indicated that he would pursue the truth relentlessly. “You just never know what they’re not telling us,” he said, referencing his concern that the FBI may be withholding critical information. “But I know how to probe very hard to get the information. I’m not interested in placing blame or saying who was right or wrong. I just want to catch these sons of b*tches who did this.”
When asked if other cities might be potential targets for similar attacks, Kennedy gave a brief but pointed response. “I can’t answer that,” he said, before adding, “I can, but I won’t.” His reluctance to speculate further on the matter only added to the gravity of the situation.
Kennedy’s comments also drew attention to past security failures. He cited the Secret Service’s inability to prevent an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania in July 2023. “I sat there and watched a 21-year-old kid outsmart the entire Secret Service of the United States and almost k*ll a former president, who is soon-to-be current president, and we still don’t have information, and that’s not going to happen this time,” Kennedy remarked. His frustration with government agencies and their handling of high-profile security threats highlighted his broader concerns about national safety.
In addition to the New Orleans attack, President Joe Biden commented on another alarming incident that occurred in Las Vegas. Authorities in Las Vegas were investigating the explosion of an electric vehicle in front of the Trump International Hotel. According to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the explosion was caused by a bomb placed in a Tesla Cybertruck. This raised further concerns about the potential for coordinated attacks targeting high-profile individuals and public figures.
As more details emerge about both the New Orleans attack and the Las Vegas explosion, questions about government preparedness and the capacity to respond to threats will likely continue to dominate political discourse.
There are unconfirmed reports that the suspect may have also been a donor to Democrat candidates/advocacy groups based on ActBlue donation records that are circulating with the suspect’s name on them. They line up with his previous work history as well, being previously enlisted in the U.S. Army.
