2nd Attack As US Celebrates New Year's Day 2025_Trump Hotel in Las Vegas gets firebombed by agitator who set afire their rented Tesla Cybertuck and died in the process, injuring 7 more

One person was killed and at least seven people were injured after a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday morning, the authorities said, on the same day that a man drove a truck through a crowd in New Orleans, killing at least 15 people.




Sheriff Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said during a news conference that the authorities “believe this to be an isolated incident” but have not yet ruled out a connection to the Wednesday morning attack in New Orleans.




“There is no further threat to the community,” Sheriff McMahill said. Sheriff McMahill. As of Wednesday afternoon, there was no indication the explosion was connected to ISIS, which President Biden said inspired the New Orleans attack, but the investigation remains ongoing, he said.




At a news conference on Wednesday, Jeremy Schwartz, the acting F.B.I. special agent in charge in Las Vegas, said the agency is investigating whether the explosion “was an act of terrorism or not.”




“I know everybody’s interested in that word and trying to see if we can say, ‘Hey this is a terrorist attack,” Mr. Schwartz said. “That is our goal, and that’s what we’re trying to do”




The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department received a report of an explosion at about 8:40 a.m. local time at the Trump Hotel.




Elon Musk, Tesla’s chief executive, said in a statement on X that “the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck” and said the vehicle was functioning properly.




Police were told that a 2024 Cybertruck “pulled up to the last entrance doors of the hotel,” Sheriff McMahill said earlier at a news conference.




The driver was the only person in the truck, Mr. McMahill said, and was killed inside the vehicle. At least seven others were reported to have sustained minor injuries.




Sheriff McMahill said the authorities found gas canisters, camp fuel canisters and large firework mortars in the back of the truck. It was unclear how they were ignited, Sheriff McMahill said.




The authorities said that the truck was rented in Colorado using Turo, the same car rental app used in the New Orleans attack. The authorities were able to trace the car back to Colorado using video footage captured at charging stations, Sheriff McMahill said.




The truck arrived in Las Vegas at around 7:30 a.m. local time, Sheriff McMahill said, and went up and down Las Vegas Boulevard before immediately pulling into the Trump Towers.




Videos posted to social media showed what appeared to be a Tesla Cybertruck engulfed in flames just outside a hotel’s lobby entrance doors. Other social media posts showed what appeared to be a line of people being led out of the building.




“Earlier today, a reported electric vehicle fire occurred in the porte cochère of Trump Las Vegas,” Eric Trump, Donald J. Trump’s son and a leader of the Trump Organization, said in a statement on X. “The safety and well-being of our guests and staff remain our top priority.”




The same message was posted by the Trump Las Vegas’s social media account. People who were staying at the hotel said they were evacuated because of the fire.




Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.




Oscar Terol, who was visiting the United States from Barcelona, said that he was walking toward the hotel entrance with his wife when he stopped at a food cart right before the explosion occurred. “Those 10 seconds were the difference,” he said.




He and his wife stumbled backward and Mr. Terol saw a vehicle with flames and an array of colors shooting out of it that he assumed were fireworks.




Todd Hansen was on the 27th floor of the hotel when he said he heard a series of loud popping sounds. He took the elevator down to a waiting area, where he saw smoke and sprinklers on in the driveway outside of the hotel entrance.




“The elevator area was full of people,” Mr. Hansen said. “They would not let you out of the elevator area and into the lobby.” He went back to his room to alert his wife and they were both evacuated when they returned downstairs, he added.




Shir Poli, of San Antonio, said that he had noticed a gas-like smell on the floor and elevator. He managed to take his luggage with him as evacuations were underway.




Kerri Ford, of Wisconsin, said she had left her room for a cup of coffee when she was told to leave the building. She was set to be married on Wednesday afternoon, and her wedding dress and marriage license were left in the room.




“We didn’t know there was anything going on,” Ms. Ford said. “We just happened to come down for coffee and they’re like, ‘You have to evacuate.’”




The incident comes as Mr. Musk has cultivated a close and highly public relationship with President-elect Donald J. Trump. Mr. Musk has been using a cottage at Mar-a-Lago that Mr. Trump converted into a members-only club, providing easy access. In November, Mr. Trump tapped the tech billionaire to help lead a new Department of Government Efficiency.




And federal filings revealed in December showed that Mr. Musk had spent more than $250 million in the final months of the presidential campaign to help Mr. Trump win the White House.




The Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, on Fashion Show Drive, has nearly 1,300 suites and is 64 stories, according to the Trump Hotels website.

Reality Check: When The Left Tries To Rewrite US Presidential History_ The Jimmy Carter that wasn't

I was going to stay silent about the passing of Jimmy Carter, but reading the Christianity Today article was too much. I wish the best for Carter’s grieving family, and Carter should be lauded for his humanitarian efforts, his efforts to bring about peace in the Middle East, and for what I take was his sincere (if liberal) faith. But CT’s exercise in hagiography further destroys its reputation as a serious publication for evangelical Christians. A partial rundown: 

(1) Ronald Reagan was divorced once, not twice, like the CT article claims. This is a pretty basic fact. You'd think the author (a professor at a Christian university) or a CT editor would have caught this error. Yes, this might seem a minor mistake. But in context, it’s part of a more egregious misrepresentation. The point of drawing attention to Reagan’s divorce was to slam evangelical voters for trading in the saintly Carter for the supposedly far less devout and loose-living Reagan. This is a common trope voiced by left-wing evangelicals, but it happens to be FALSE. We now know, thanks to the work of scholars like Paul Kengor, that Reagan was a pretty serious evangelical Christian in his personal life. Not that I think Christians should pick politicians based mainly on personal devoutness. I don't. They should pick politicians primarily based on their policies. But the insinuation that Reagan was not a serious Christian (unlike Carter) is untrue. 

(2) The article suggests that Carter’s disastrous presidency was foisted on him by outside events over which he could do nothing. Again, this is a standard talking point by the left. But it’s highly debatable. Anyone who knows how Carter facilitated the Islamists to take over Iran, or how his weak foreign policy emboldened Soviet aggression, will realize that his disastrous presidency had a lot to do with his own policies. 

(3) Although the article glancingly mentions the White House Conference on Families, it doesn’t do much at all to help people understand why evangelicals were so upset about this event. Among other things, the Conference offered a redefinition of “family” that is incompatible with Christian teaching. I might also mention that Carter appointed some extreme cultural progressives to the courts. That was another reason theologically conservative evangelicals were upset with him. 

(4) The article talks early on about Carter's conservative theology. Yet not one word is spend discussing his promotion of gay marriage much more recently. Why? By the end of his life, Carter definitely did not embrace a conservative theology. But I guess delving into that wouldn't fit the narrative that CT wants to offer. So it was suppressed. 

It’s appropriate to laud Carter for the good things he did, especially at the time of his passing. But a serious Christian publication would have offered something more serious than this worshipful piece. 

One reason it’s important to talk about Carter’s real record is because his rise to fame and power is symptomatic of an unhealthy strand in evangelical Christianity even today. Many evangelicals embrace public figures who wear their faith on their sleeve, paying almost no attention to their actual policy views and actions. When Christians do that, they get politicians and public officials like Jimmy Carter... or, more recently, Francis Collins. In my upcoming book Stockholm Syndrome Christianity (out Feb. 3), I discuss how damaging this has been for our culture and for Christianity. But it won’t stop unless people recognize it is a problem.[SOURCE]

A group of “Covid cautious” people In Oregon rented out a bowling alley, had everyone mask including the employees, set up air purifiers, and separated kids from adults.

This happened a few days ago.
