Radical leftists are wasting absolutely no time trying to capitalize on yesterday’s terror attack in New Orleans, following the advice of Rahm Emanuel to “never let a crisis go to waste.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a homegrown Islamist terrorist mowed down dozens of innocent revelers celebrating the New Year on Bourbon Street in a white pickup truck. At least 15 people perished, with at least 35 more wounded.

The suspect, identified as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, later died during the gunfight with police.

Soros-Backed Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams appeared on MSNBC this morning to give his take on the evil attack. Like a true Marxist, Williams decided to utilize this evil attack as an opportunity to demand changes to the everyday lives of Americans.

He opened his screed by proclaiming that Americans were going to have have to make privacy sacrifices to the state, especially during large gatherings.

“Things are going to have to change…I think you’re going to see a lot of things change in the city of New Orleans and actually, I think you are going to see a lot of things change in this country in terms of how we handle large-scale events where there is pedestrian access and where there are large-scale vehicles allowed,” Williams stated.

“I think you’re going to see things change in terms of the level of surveillance that we have in this country,” he added.

His rhetoric grew more troubling when he scoffed at Americans who value liberty and revealed his ideal solution to supposedly stop terror attacks: European-style spying on ordinary citizens walking the streets.

European nations like the United Kingdom utilize this spying tool not to protect law-abiding constituents, but to control them. For example, European authorities have used surevillance for years to track drivers anywhere on the continent.

“We push back against some of that. But when you look at places like the UK and other European places where CCTV is very commonplace. it can look for signs or indications of an attack,” Williams concluded.

Pure fascism.

Is she drunk? Heavily medicated?

Fresh off of a hip transplant, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi posted a bizarre video to X on Thursday claiming she was on her way to DC to represent her constituents and share “San Francisco values.”

San Francisco values = Needles in the street, homelessness and rampant retail theft.

84-year-old Pelosi could barely open her eyes as she heavily slurred her words.

“Hi, it’s Nancy. I’m on my way to Washington to proudly represent the people of San Francisco in Congress. I’m honored to do so to share our San Francisco values,” Pelosi said.

Nancy Pelosi was forced to cancel the rest of her engagements scheduled on her bipartisan CODEL trip to Luxembourg after she fell downstairs earlier this month.

Pelosi was hospitalized during a congressional delegation trip overseas after she fractured her hip.

The 84-year-old had hip replacement surgery after she lost her footing on a marble staircase and fell to the ground.

“The operation was conducted at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at Landstuhl Army Base in Germany, her office said. The Defense Department provided medevac support to transport Pelosi there from Luxembourg,” CBS News reported.

The spokesperson added, “Speaker Pelosi is grateful to U.S. military staff at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at Landstuhl Army Base and medical staff at Hospital Kirchberg in Luxembourg for their excellent care and kindness.”

Rep McCaul recently said Pelosi was wearing her signature high heels when she lost her footing on the last step on a marble staircase.

“She had a hip replacement. I was right next to her. She likes to wear high heels. Very high. She was on one of her last steps on this marble staircase that didn’t have a railing. She lost her footing and fell to the ground. I immediately helped pick her up,” McCaul said.

Pelosi actually took a photo after she fell down and broke her hip.

McCaul said Pelosi went to the hospital after taking this photo.

Most interesting part of what McCaul recounts to me here is that Pelosi took this photo, he says, AFTER she broke her hip.

She powered thru, took the picture, then went to the hospital, McCaul says. https://t.co/sbGEACyxDV pic.twitter.com/kSpzC6Y3iH

In a tragic event on New Year’s Day, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar executed a terror attack in New Orleans’ French Quarter, resulting in 15 deaths and injuring over 30 individuals.

Jabbar, a U.S. Army veteran from Texas, drove a pickup truck adorned with an ISIS flag into a crowd on Bourbon Street before engaging in a fatal shootout with police.

Investigations have uncovered that Jabbar had previously expressed intentions to harm his own family. In a series of disturbing videos, he discussed plans to gather his family under the guise of a celebration and then kill them.

The FBI reports that Shamsud-Din Jabbar had initially considered killing his family but ultimately decided against it, fearing it would divert media attention from what he described as the “war between believers and disbelievers.”

He also mentioned experiencing dreams that he interpreted as directives to join ISIS.

Newsweek reported:

In videos seen by authorities, Jabbar allegedly discussed how he had planned to gather his family for a “celebration” with the intention of killing them after his divorce, before changing his plans to join ISIS, CNN reported, citing two officials who had been briefed on the recordings.

Jabbar also referenced several dreams that he had about why he should be joining ISIS, according to CNN.

Authorities believe Jabbar made the recordings at night while he was driving from his home in Texas to Louisiana. However, the exact timing is unclear.

[…]

Court filings, which Newsweek has not reviewed, show Jabbar has divorced from two of his ex-wives. In 2012, his first wife filed a lawsuit against him for child support shortly after he initiated divorce proceedings. The court mandated Jabbar to make payments that increased over time in line with his growing income. The case was ultimately dismissed in 2022.

Meanwhile, Jabbar’s second wife took out a restraining order against him in 2020 during divorce proceedings. The order mandated that Jabbar refrain from threats, physical harm or other stipulated behavior against his ex-wife and either of their children, and required her to avoid the same activity. In a court filing, Jabbar’s ex-wife stated the marriage had become “insupportable because of discord or a conflict of personalities.”

The 42-year-old pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft of between $50 and $500 in December 2002, Harris County court records show. He served nine months of “community supervision.” Three years later, in 2005, Beaumont police arrested him for driving with an invalid license, also a misdemeanor.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Jabbar converted to Islam before spiraling into erratic behavior, according to family members who spoke with the far-left New York Times.

Dwayne Marsh, married to Jabbar’s ex-wife, noted the suspect’s increasingly bizarre actions, including cutting his hair drastically and displaying erratic behavior that prompted them to restrict his access to his daughters.

Jabbar had moved into a predominantly Muslim neighborhood north of Houston approximately a year ago.

Following the New Orleans attack, FBI investigators descended on the area, including the local mosque, Masjid Bilal ISGH.

Meanwhile, Masjid Bilal ISGH issued a statement to its members that many have criticized as an attempt to obstruct justice.

In a Facebook post, Masjid Bilal ISGH’s leadership instructed its members to avoid speaking to the media and, if approached by the FBI, to refer inquiries to CAIR or ISGH.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has announced that there is no definitive evidence connecting the New Year’s Day terror attack in New Orleans with the Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.

In the early hours of January 1, 2025, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar drove a rented Ford F-150 pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, resulting in 15 fatalities and injuring approximately 30 others.

Jabbar, a U.S. Army veteran, was heavily armed and wore body armor during the attack. An ISIS flag was found in his possession, leading authorities to classify the incident as an act of terrorism.

Hours after the New Orleans attack, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, killing the driver and injuring seven bystanders.

The driver was identified as 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger, also a U.S. Army veteran who had served at the same military base as Jabbar. The Cybertruck contained fireworks and camping fuel, suggesting a potential act of terrorism.

Now, the FBI Deputy Assistant Director claims there are “no definitive links” between what happened in New Orleans and Las Vegas.

Joe Biden is preparing to permanently ban new offshore oil and gas development in key U.S. coastal waters, which will be “difficult to revoke protections for sensitive marine areas.”

This last-ditch effort to block President-elect Donald Trump’s energy agenda is expected to be enshrined in an executive order, marking yet another chapter in Biden’s war on American energy.

Sources familiar with the plan have revealed that Biden’s order will leverage a 72-year-old law—the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act—to solidify protections that are notoriously difficult to reverse, Bloomberg reported.

This decree, set to be issued within days, is aimed at halting new drilling rights in parts of the country’s outer continental shelf, including critical areas near California and the Gulf of Mexico by Florida.

Bloomberg reported:

Biden is set within days to issue the executive order barring the sale of new drilling rights in portions of the country’s outer continental shelf, according to people familiar with the effort who asked not to be named because the decision isn’t public.

The move is certain to complicate President-elect Donald Trump’s ambitions to drive more domestic energy production. Unlike other executive actions that can be easily undone, Biden’s planned declaration is rooted in a 72-year-old law that gives the White House wide discretion to permanently protect US waters from oil and gas leasing without explicitly empowering presidents to revoke the designations.

The move responds to pressure from congressional Democrats and environmental groups who have lobbied Biden to “maximize permanent protections” against offshore drilling, arguing the action is essential to safeguard vulnerable coastal communities, protect marine ecosystems from oil spills and fight climate change.

[…]

Biden administration officials have been considering the approach for more than two years, though their efforts intensified after Trump’s victory, as the outgoing president sought to enshrine new environmental measures before the end of his term. The fresh offshore protections are in line with similar recent Biden actions to protect areas from industrial mining and energy development, including a formal proposal issued Monday to thwart the sale of new oil, gas and geothermal leases in Nevada’s Ruby Mountains.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the Biden regime announced Monday that it will bar oil, gas, and geothermal development in northeastern Nevada’s Ruby Mountains for the next 20 years.

This sweeping restriction covers an estimated 264,000 acres of federal land and effectively halts new energy exploration in the region.
