President Joe Biden has announced that he's been briefed on both the Bourbon Street terror attack and the Cybertruck bomb parked in front of Trump Tower in Las Vegas and that so far there's no connection between the two incidents.
🚨President Biden: "We're continuing to investigate whether or not there's any connection between the New Orleans attack and the explosion in Las Vegas. As of now, I've just been briefed, they have not found any evidence of such a connection."

CNN, too, reports that the FBI says there's no definitive link between the two incidents.
FBI says New Orleans truck attack was a lone act of terrorism and there's no definitive link at this time to a Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas.

Maybe we're just conspiracy theorists who get our disinformation from social media, but that sounds really unlikely.
FBI: No "definitive" link bt Jabbar/Livelsberger who:
— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) January 2, 2025
--both used TURO app
--weaponized vehicles
--IEDs
--struck on holiday
--targeted tourist towns
--similar ages (42, 37)
--both Army
--stationed Ft Bragg
--Afghanistan tours
--both anti-Trump Democrats
--both on suicide missions
But that's all just coincidental.
So basically they are connected.

You would doubt the FBI?

This means for sure they did not act alone and are connected.

Let's summarize for the "it's a coincidence" believers.

- 2 vehicle attacks on the same day, within hours of each other
- Both vehicles rented via Turo
- Both suspects U.S. veterans
- Both suspects served at the same military base
I mean, you gotta be kidding me, right?
No definitive links?

1. Both served in the Army stationed at the same Army base.
2. Both rented two electric trucks from Turo.
3. Both acted on the same day.
Those are just three coincidences. To rule out no links within 24 hours is completely disqualifying.
I trust the FBI even less than I trust CNN

They're on top of it. We can relax now.

Which means there is a connection

The president and the media may have been briefed by the FBI, but we'd need a lot more convincing that this that the two incidents aren't related in some way.
