All the talk about EVs not having sufficient range has had me wary of selling my 14 yr old truck.

Houston to New Orleans is about 350 miles? The Ford 150 Staff Sergeant Jabbar rented on a peer to peer app in Houston seems to have made the trip to New Orleans with power to spare.

Chris Pousson, a retired Air Force veteran who was friends with Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar in middle school and high school in Texas, said that Jabbar “wasn’t a troublemaker at all. He made good grades and was always well-dressed in button-ups and polo shirts.”

Pousson said they reconnected on Facebook around 2017 when Jabbar got out of the military, and he noticed a dramatic change. “He was never threatening any violence, but you could see that he had gotten really passionate about his faith.”


A lotta white christian militants breathed a huge sigh of relief to know it was the other religion this time. Trump, as usual, pontificated out his anus on the event. Did he say 'we gotta just get over it', like when children are slaughtered in school?

Ain't religion grand!

Faith is poison, no matter which one it is.

It depends.... If your religion includes subjugation of women or using violence to expand your control, then I agree. But I think you are reasonable enough to make an exception for the Amish for example.

The Amish are in one of the corners of Christianity. How far would that exception go? What about Mennonites? They're another branch of Anabaptists, like the Amish.

Actually, no. I mean, they aren't violent. So that's good. But they make decisions based on nonsense -faith- instead of actual facts. So it's still a poison, just not a violent one.

Jains are the same. The more extreme a Jain gets, the less violent he/she would be. But they still live, and make decisions, under a delusion.

Hopefully, Manlobbi doesn't whack me for talking religion. This probably is better an the Atheist board.

Been a while since pondering the Amish in the great scheme of things. Apparently they're still into the shunning thing like the Mormons.... and they've begun using electricity, cellphones and other earthly accoutrements.

One would think solar panels would be kinda Amish, keep 'em off the grid yet in HIS good graces for accepting a heavenly power source. Whether that would extend to using Cybertrucks...god only knows.

SuperPatriot, TrumpLuvin' PiccoloPete Livelsberger chose poorly; the Tesla Cybertruck instead of the Ford Lighting 150 that Sgt Jabbar used to greater effect in the French Quarter.

Gotta love his Dad's observation that with his extensive training, if he had wanted to, Livelsberger could have built a bomb in the cybertruck that would take down half the Trump building (like McVeigh and the Murrow building in OK). But he chose his vehicle poorly.

Special Agent in Charge Spencer Evans of the FBI’s Las Vegas Division said agents had tracked the vehicle from Denver, through Tesla charging stations in Arizona and New Mexico, before it arrived in Vegas at 7:29 a.m. on Wednesday.

Livelsberger was clearly distraught that charging his Tesla made him blow his schedule. Anybody in their right mind would have planned to be the dramatic midnight extravaganza in the portecochere of the Trump Hotel. Over 7 hours late, Liverberger said 'what the hell', lit the Cyberfirecracker, and dejected as all hell, blew his brains out with his Desert Eagle even though everybody was sleeping off the nights whoopeeee.

Lesson learned: When time is of the essence, the Ford Lighting 150 with it's greater range is superior to the Tesla Cybertruck.
