One suspect has been found.  He had an ISIS flag among his supplies.  Several other suspects have been identified, but are not yet in custody (as of this writing).

The truck was stolen from a Texas resident.  It was taken south of the border, loaded up, and brought back over the border.

Great border security there, Biden.  Who was your border Czar again?

The whole interview is worth your time.

Tucker Carlson's interview with Trump's choice for border "czar" is revealing, too - 46,000 Chinese, many of them military age males, coming across the southern border?  And the stuff about the Cartels (earlier in the video)?  Craziness.  The people behind the Democrats (at the least) are openly trying to destroy our country.  (Perhaps those behind the Republicans are, too, but not so openly.)

In my youth there was great concern over a nuclear confrontation with Russia.  My best friend’s family built an elaborate fallout shelter in their backyard complete with a 2-year supply of food and water and filters for breathable air.  I ought to visit my childhood neighbor to see if it is still there in some form.  It was rather large and would be difficult to dismantle.  My father did not believe Russia was a problem.  As a side note, my home was well stocked with firearms and ammunition – but then we depended on hunting for a fair share of our food.  Along this line I mostly gave up hunting following my military experience and then being shot at while hunting – same year an acquaintance was shot and killed while hunting.

Also, in my youth, I had the opportunity of being in the middle of two events that ended up in the news.  I saw everything unfold from start to finish.  In the late 50’s and early 60’s the news could not get their facts straight.  After college I went to work for the Defense Department.  I was given “talking points” that had nothing to do with the work I was doing that I was to tell everybody about what I was doing (including what I could put on my resume).

It is my understanding that any information coming from the government or through the news organizations are carefully and deliberately filtered.  There are both good and bad reasons for filtering information.  I have two suggestions.  First – do not believe what you hear.  Rather understand that there is a bias to whatever information you have.  If the bias is not completely clear – do not invest a penny in it – If the bias is certain – still take it with a grain of salt.  Second – wait for the dust to clear and try to understand a trend – not and so much any particular event.

My personal opinion is that white supremacy is not a problem of much concern.  Those that are concerned about white supremacy are contributing to a problem and cannot be trusted for a solution.

While racial supremacists - of *all* races - do exist, various law enforcement groups have fixated on white supremacist groups and people they suspect of such almost to the exclusion of other groups they should have been watching out for. 

Not helping matters any is that there are people who fear reporting folks of certain demographic groups lest they be accused of racism or bigotry. This was a big part of why Nidal Hassan wasn't stopped before he shot up Fort Hood, as his co-workers feared that if they tried to warn the higher-ups that he was becoming violent and angry they'd be accused of being bigoted towards Muslims and would thus have their careers destroyed.
