The Morning Briefing: Can We Put a Rush Job on January 20?

Top O' the Briefing

Happy Thursday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The Sine Qua Non Sequitur is spending the day doing mud spa calisthenics.

Another quickie today, and then we will head to the weekend in style tomorrow.

The phrase "Happy New Year" certainly had the life sucked out of it yesterday, didn't it? The horror in New Orleans was followed by the cybertruck explosion outside of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Then, late last night, there was a mass shooting at a concert hall in Queens, N.Y.

The violence is both horrific and mind-numbing. The way that the FBI handled things in New Orleans just made things worse, which should have been impossible. This is from Robert:

After initially denying that the attack in New Orleans in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day was a terror attack, and then belatedly admitting that obvious fact, the FBI is now confronted with the onerous task of investigating what was actually an Islamic jihad attack.

The unclear motive nonsense after every Islamic terror attack was old and pathetic years ago. The attacker in this case was flying an ISIS flag, which is all the hint that anyone needed. As my RedState colleague Bonchie wrote, local FBI officials knew it was a terrorist attack at the time that they first said it wasn't.

Whenever we have discussed the rogue Biden FBI, the question of what the Bureau might be missing comes up. That was one of the first things that crossed my mind yesterday:

It's frightening to think of how many Islamic terror cells may have become functional while the Biden/Garland/Wray FBI was busy acting as a goon squad to punish conservatives.

Inauguration Day now seems a thousand years away. This country desperately needs President-elect Donald Trump to shed the "elect" and get to work undoing the damage that Joe Biden and his "America last" administration have done. It's going to take a long time. As Matt wrote in a VIP column yesterday, there can't be any grandstanding delays in getting Trump's nominees confirmed.

Criminals and terrorists love a weak American president.

But hey, the abortion clinics are safe from pro-life people who sing hymns.
