America welcomed 2025 with two separate but possibly connected terrorist attacks, one in New Orleans and one in Las Vegas. Sadly, many of us hearing of these two attacks assumed the FBI and any government agency involved would not only avoid telling us the whole story BUT they might even flat-out lie and/or sweep the whole thing under the rug. The first thing I thought when I read about the incident on Bourbon Street was, 'Terror attack,' and I don't think I was alone in that. But then we saw what happened with the FBI claiming it was not a terror attack even though the mayor had already said it was.
Then not long after they claimed it was being investigated as a terror attack. What I don't know, of course, is if they decided to be honest with us OR if they figured out since X has become the media and the story is getting out one way or another they had to share it.
They had no choice.
Again, trust in our three-letter agencies is at one of its lowest points ever.
As Americans demand answers on multiple New Year’s Day attacks — the collapsing credibility of American institutions are drawn into sharp focus.

Bottom: CNN poll highlights cratering trust in the FBI: "Just 41% of Americans think the FBI is doing an excellent or good job. That is by far the lowest number this century."
The initial response to the attacks rom the FBI, along with the initial reporting from legacy media, only served to underscore the problem.
These institutions have spent the last many years torching their own credibility — and a majority of Americans rightfully believe they will never be told the truth.
Americans don't trust the media.
Americans don't trust the government.
And honestly, who could blame us? We've been lied to so much over the past 16+ years that many of us don't know what to believe. But as I said before, now that X has given so many of us a light to shine on these cockroaches, the stories are starting to get out.
Likely much to our own government's dismay.
