    Par for the course. Those hypocrites have a conniption whenever the "leftist media" immediately jumps to false conclusions, yet they do the exact same thing.

    It wasn't that long ago that a Christian group was committing domestic terrorism across the South. That doesn't mean all Christians are bad. Nor does it mean all Christians are bad when some psycho who claims to be a Christian murders a bunch of folks with an AR-15. I don't judge entire groups of people by what a small extremist minority do.

    I have a buddy from buffalo, his instant reaction was that it was a mob hit. His opinion was an angle I never considered.

    The last such confirmed attack was the WTC in 1993.

    Not sure what you mean by “confirmed” but ok. I was thinking the Pulse nightclub shooting but there has likely been one more recent than that.

    You're right. I thought the Pulse shooter was a disgruntled frequenter of the establishment.

    well there was a lot of speculation that he was a closeted homo and that was the real reason he did what he did. His ex-wife suspected and the regulars at the night club claim to have seen him there before. But he attributed it to Islam when he was doing it.

    Didn't the police use a robot to kill him?

    What an exciting way to end it.

    All I want is to pass in my sleep while dreaming about puppies.

    Even after they knew the truth they persisted.

    Fox News Uses Border Car Crash to Slam White House – Even After Network Retracted Report Saying It Was an ‘Attempted Terror Attack’

    But at the bare minimum, wouldn’t we need to know who’s crossing into our country?” he went on. “Why are they here? Where are they going? What are they doing? These are not difficult questions if you have the political will to actually ask them? But, unfortunately, the leaders of today, including [Homeland Security] Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas, they aren’t willing to do it because they don’t have the political will to actually shut down the border. So, we don’t know exactly what happened at the explosion by Niagara Falls, and we need to know sooner rather than later.”

    It's Fox "News". Shouldn't be all that surprising considering that for Fox accuracy and the truth are optional. If there is one lesson that Fox learned from its lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems its that playing fast and loose with the truth is fine as long as you do not defame a corporate entity with deep pockets.

    So a 300000 dollar car speeds at a 100 miles an hour and wrecks. Did the driver have a heart attack before the accident?

    What about 9/11? Wasn’t that in 2001?

    It's not a small minority.

    20% is a large amount. If 20% of a group I was a member of felt this way I'd disown them publicly, immediately.

    Heck, I'm not a member of the organized Christian faith as an adult because I think a disproportionate amount are grifters and Christians in name only.

    If a person went on a shooting spree in the name of Christianity and 20% of Christianity supports it you'd have a point.

    There was one in August of last year. Not all are wildly successful.
