While the photos of the crime scene are few and far between and typically don’t show much detail, there are things that I CAN see..

Ferinstance.. the street does not appear to have a big crater…which would tell us that the explosive wasn’t TNT or likely even ANFO… (Or it wasn’t that big of a bomb if it were miltary grade explosive)…(I could be wrong here, as the data is slim and there aren’t good overheads)…but it appears that this was a fairly low order explosion. 

The FBI and ATF haven’t told us what kind of explosive was used (so far) so we really don’t know….But, again,  from the types of damage, it does not appear to be a high order explosion, which means it was likely a homemade bomb, albeit a decent sized one. Had it been a high order explosion contained in that relatively narrow street the damage would likely have been much greater. More structural damage to the buildings near the explosion site. Like most of the building facades would have collapsed…which leads me to wonder. 

The ATT facility was damaged, but not destroyed….It is already coming back online…which still begs the question…was it the target? If so, why? If it wasn’t the target, then what was? 

So what type of “bomb” was it…? Why was it placed where it was placed? Other than the ATT building, the area seems pretty much not a target. If it WAS the ATT switch, why? (The systems that are used for telecom switching would make the interruptions of service limited to farirly local, not nationwide…..) Why there? And, of course, nearly all the police and Federal Investigators are focused on the bomb scene…..and not anywhere else in the area. 

I still have the feeling there is something else.. a second layer, as it were, that we are not yet aware of. 

 I hope you all had a good Christmas… gifts, food, and fellowship. 

Further, I hope you all remembered why we celebrate…

SO the story of the explosion in Nashville is odd. 

Gunfire heard in the area…, then the cops “noticed” the RV…..? Said RV had been reported to have been parked there the night before…. and was unremarked until the morning….

Then the RV began warning everyone with a voice message that an explosion was imminent (Kudos to the cops who took the warning and got people nearby to safety!) 

Then it exploded…..Apparently damaging a telecommunications switch point. 

Lots of oddities here. Like something out of a spy or adventure novel. 

One wonders what residence or bank or other facility was robbed while this was going on and there was no way for the alarm system to signal a break-in? (after all, if a Bank or Government facility, it might be closed unilt the next day, or even the following Monday….a long time, really, for the thieves to get away)…..Obviously, the perpetrators of the explosion did not wish to hurt anyone…..Or perhaps it was a disgruntled employee of the telpehone company? 

Either way, lots and lots of oddities. Not consistent with Terrorism as we generally define it. I bet the FBI and their ilk are having a fun time of it today. 

 Who have hand their lives (and Cristmas celebration) interrupted in the early morning explosion in downtown Nashville. 

No one killed, some hurt, and Law Enforcement is saying it was not an accident. IF it was terrorism, from whatever source, we should root them out, no matter what, no matter where they hide. 

Breaking story, so we will have to wait for details. 

Update: Lots more HERE

 May you and your families enjoy a Merry Christmas. 

This may not be a “Normal” Christmas, but let us not forget why we clelebrate this day. 

If you are mot Christian, plrease take the above in the manner in which it was intended. 

 So everyone on the left, and the Media (but I repeat myself) is crying about the Presidential Pardons that are happening…..

Really? What is the difference between these pardons and the slew of pardons that Barry the O did as he was leaving office? One thing: These current pardons are for folks that the Left hates, rather than Barrys pardoned criminals, whom the Left had a soft spot for.  

But, of course, the Left is making a big deal bout these folks that Donald is gifting pardons to, because they are not Approvd Felons…..It would be irritating to me, the double standards of the Left, except that I have come to expect it. 

 pass any sort of relief bill without padding it with a great deal of “pork”..often at an amount even greater than the amount of relief for the actual reason for the bill? 

I mean, it seems that each and every time this sort of bill is legislated, the pork add ons are incredible….

and I am not singling out the Democrats for this behavior. Both sides are guilty. 

 So CBS News has stated that fewer cars are on the road because of Covid lockdowns and people working from home…

And that has had an “insignificant” impact on Global Warming. Literally 15% fewer cars,  7% fewer “emissions” yet it has effectively no impact…..could it be that the models are wrong? All those emails from Stay at Home workers are negating the effect of all those cars driving fewer miles… (ad)

They claim that 100 emails produce the same carbon footprint as 1 mile of driving (Which is a terrible oversimplification, really) So all those people working from home are negating the fact that they aren’t driving to work…..All those emails use a terrible amount of power….. 

Or is it possible that all those cars had a negligible impact BEFORE the Covid crisis? And the computers are a wash, whether they are produced and read from home or in an office, as are the emails. The servers are operating, and sending an email through it uses a very tiny addional amount of power vs the server sitting idle, but powered…. It’s not like anyone is gonna shut down the email servers, is it? 

Can the folks at CBS do any math? Have they no logic in their thoughts? 

 If you don’t fail sometimes, then you ain’t tryin’. 

AC has some good wisdom.  

I think most people are too afraid of failure

 So here I am driving…and some asshole had to wave his—Corvette—- at everyone. 

It was a nice car, but driven by an idiot. He did , obviously, have a LOT of cash, as there is no other reason a 25 year old lday who looks and dresses like that would be his wife….as old as he was….I assume a wife, ’cause she was wearing a 3 carat or better bit of carbon crystal on her hand. 

Anyway, he was tearing it up, showing off the power of the car. I couldn’t resist messing with him in the Dodge Diesel…Yes, out of town that car can run away from me, and, in the hands of a person who knows how to drive, can eat me for lunch (I am, after all, driving a 4WD diesel)…but in town I was able to not only keep up, but run away from him stoplight to stoplight…and brake well enough to negate his advantage there as well. Plus weaving in and out of traffic….He didn’t know how to drive. It was fun. Turns too, I’m no expert at driving, but he was most obviously not a well trained driver…. And while we weren’t really street racing (that would be illgal, after all) it was a bit sporty at times, not only stoplight to stoplight, but through the curvy bits as well. In the hands of an expert driver (which he was most obviously not) the Corvette can do a lot. In his hands, I was able to make him look bad with a truck…His lady was laughing at his antics…and at one stoplight smiled, winked, and stuck her toungue out at me…She knew.

Nice ride though. I wish I could afford one like that. Plus the car…

 Much truth HERE
