Cybertruck Trump Hotel Bomber Was Dead From Gunshot to Head Before Vehicle Detonated | 2 Jan 2025 | The man suspected of carrying out a Cybertruck bomb attack outside of Donald Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas was reportedly dead from a gunshot wound before the explosion happened, police claim. At a press conference Thursday, Las Vegas police revealed they discovered via the coroner’s office that suspected bomber Matthew Livelsberger, a former U.S. Army veteran, “had sustained a gunshot wound to the head prior to the detonation of the vehicle.” “One of the handguns was found at his feet inside of the vehicle,” police added. The detail raises several questions, as highlighted by keen X user Michaeluchio. “How long before the explosion was he dead? Was he filmed shooting himself before the explosion? Was the Cyber Truck [sic] autonomously driving on Auto Pilot before it pulled up to Trump Hotel?”
 
Bomber in Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion is married Green Beret whose wife had shared slew of Facebook posts spouting anti-Trump rhetoric | 2 Jan 2025 | Tesla Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger is a long-serving married Green Beret who was on leave from active duty when he carried out the attack outside Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel. Livelsberger, 37, was identified by law enforcement sources as the bomber in Wednesday’s attack, which left seven wounded. The electric vehicle exploded about 15 seconds after the driver pulled up in front of the hotel’s entrance. The blast was caused by “a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck” or “very large fireworks,” according to Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Livelsberger died in the bombing. He lived in Colorado Springs and was an active member of the Army. He grew up in Ohio and was married to social worker Sara Livelsberger, who in the lead up to the 2016 election shared a slew of Facebook posts spouting anti-Trump rhetoric.

Speaking to reporters Thursday morning, Raia called the incident an “act of terrorism.” He said Jabbar rented a Ford F-150 truck in Houston and drove to New Orleans, posting five videos on social media proclaiming his support for Islamic terror group ISIS [I-CIA-SIS] between 1:29 a.m. and 3:02 a.m. He also said that investigators have recovered two laptops and three phones.

Authorities had been investigating a potential military connection between Jabbar and the Las Vegas suspect, who law enforcement identified as Matthew Livelsberger. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill previously told Fox News that there is evidence that Jabbar worked alongside accomplices to coordinate the attack. “FBI special agents and our law enforcement partners are currently conducting a number of court-authorized search warrants in New Orleans and other states,” the bureau said in a statement.

Photos from the scene showed a crashed white pickup truck — with a black flag attached to the back.
 
Families ‘must stay indoors for 48 hours’ as highly contagious virus spreads – UK | 29 Dec 2024 | Norovirus is highly contagious, but there are ways to protect yourself and other family members if someone in your household falls ill. According to the NHS, norovirus can be transmitted through close contact with an infected person, touching contaminated surfaces or objects and then touching your mouth. Food prepared or handled by a sick person can also be a breeding ground for the virus. And alcohol hand gels do not kill the norovirus bacteria. People suffering from the vomiting bug are advised to stay away from work or school until they have been free of any vomiting or diarrhoea for at least two days. It’s also recommended that visits to places with potentially vulnerable individuals, such as hospitals or care homes, should be avoided during this time. [Do not comply.]
 
Uproar as bird flu scientists call for Covid mask rules and mass vaccinations: ‘We will not comply!’ | 30 Dec 2024 | A former Baltimore health official has sparked backlash after she asked Joe Biden to authorize bird flu vaccines before leaving office. Dr. Leana Wen, the ex-Commissioner for Baltimore’s health department, said on Sunday’s Face the Nationthat Biden should do as much as he can to battle the avian influenza outbreak during his last days as president… Wen’s comments struck a nerve with many X users who recalled her asking Biden to implement vaccine mandates in federal workplaces and public venues in their jurisdiction during the Covid-19 pandemic. The health policy expert controversially stated the unvaccinated should not be allowed to go out in public. One X user said: “Dr. Leana Wen pushed to take away fundamental human rights…why would anyone listen to her again? This should be entirely disqualifying.” Another added: “Leana Wen is a politician, not a doctor. Her health advice should be completely ignored.”

Bird flu detected in nearly 1M chickens in Darke County, suspected in dead waterfowl in 9 other Ohio counties | 31 Dec 2024 | Two Ohio agencies are tracking the presence, or suspected presence, of avian influenza in several counties across the state. On Monday, the Ohio Department of Agriculture announced that bird flu was detected in nearly one million chickens in Darke County, located in the southwest portion of the state. The National Veterinary Services Laboratory confirmed Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) was detected in Darke County on Dec. 27, involving 931,302 chickens. The ODA did not identify the individual farms [?] since the case is considered active. The ODA said that when there is an HPAI detection, the agency quarantines the facility and birds are “depopulated” to prevent the spread of the disease.
 
Watchdog sues State Department for records on censorship efforts, funding for ad ‘blacklist’ that included The Post | 31 dec 2024 | The State Department has been hit with a lawsuit demanding records pertaining to its now-defunct Global Engagement Center (GEC) subagency, which leaned on social media companies to suppress Americans’ free speech and funneled U.S. taxpayers’ m-ney to groups even trying to “blacklist” The Post. The Functional Government Initiative watchdog group filed the suit Monday to obtain potentially critical U.S. government communications — following months of stonewalling by the agency about its grants under Joe Biden that backed the censorship efforts. “The layers of the Biden-Harris State Department’s censorship industrial complex must be exposed so that all which occurred in 2020, along with any attempts to suppress free speech during the 2024 election, comes to light,” said FGI spokesman Peter McGinnis.
 
Elon Musk accused of censorship as H-1B migrant controversy deepens | 29 Dec 2024 | Elon Musk has been accused of censorship after his X social media platform allegedly removed premium features from accounts which criticized his stance in the fierce ongoing debate about immigration visas. Several prominent conservative accounts have complained this week about having their blue verification badge revoked… One account, called ConservativeOG, claimed more than 50 users had been affected by the apparent censorship by Musk, who prides himself on promoting free speech. It comes after the South Africa-born Tesla boss and incoming White House official voiced support for H-1B visas, which allow highly-skilled foreigners to work in the US for six years, rather than prioritizing American employees. [Elon Musk can pride himself all he wants, but the CLG’s X account – @legitgov – is still shadow-banned under Musk the fraud.]
 
U.S. Attorney named in Hunter Biden IRS whistleblower testimony to resign | 30 Dec 2024 | Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia whose name surfaced in testimony by IRS whistleblowers about political interference in the Hunter Biden tax case, will resign in early January, the Department of Justice confirmed Monday. Graves featured in the testimony of whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, the IRS agents who went public about alleged political interference by Biden-appointed officials in the Hunter Biden tax probe. When then-Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss sought to bring charges in D.C., Graves declined to partner with him on the case, according to the whistleblowers’ testimony. That declination was among the key points the whistleblowers addressed in contradicting Attorney General Merrick Garland’s statements that Weiss had full authority to pursue charges against Biden.
 
Georgia AG urges state Supreme Court to reject DA Willis’s appeal in Trump case | 30 Dec 2024 | Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is urging the state Supreme Court to reject an appeal by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, after she was removed from the election interference case against President-elect Trump. Earlier this month, a Georgia court of appeals disqualified Willis from the Georgia election interference case against Trump and others, citing an “appearance of impropriety.” The panel also cited the romantic relationship between Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade. On Monday, the state’s lead attorney, who announced plans to run for governor in November, posted a statement on social media regarding the ruling against Willis. “The Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled that the Fulton County DA created her own conflict and rightfully removed her from the case against President-elect Trump,” Carr wrote. “‘Lawfare’ has become far too common in American politics, and it must end.
