This is the part where I have to say something about the monster who killed schoolchildren during Mass at a Catholic church in Minneapolis yesterday.
I don’t know what to tell you.¹
This has happened before and it will happen again. Three thoughts:
(1) The FBI claims this shooting is an act of domestic terrorism. I’m inclined to agree. And it seems as though the domestic terrorist intentionally left a trail of clues online.
Why didn’t the FBI notice these clues? The FBI is in charge of counterterrorism. What has Kash Patel been focused on instead?
Last Friday, when the FBI could have been closing in on the shooter’s final preparations, the Bureau was raiding the home of John Bolton while Patel tweeted about it.
Four days ago Patel was tweeting about his weekend workout, bragging that the Bureau’s “mission” never stops.
Maybe someone whose child is alive today can explain to Director Patel that doing pullups has nothing to do with the FBI’s mission and that instead of going all-in on the “Hegseth/Kennedy challenge” the FBI is supposed to be all-in oncounterterrorism.
