    1. The full-page ad was paid for a Christian organization that some called a doomsday cult in reports. The ad featured a banner at the top that melded images of President Donald Trump, Pope Francis, and burning American flags.

      The ad-buyer, the Ministry of Future For America, claimed that Islam is going to blow up Nashville on July 18 based on “Bible prophecy.” It referred to Trump as the “final president of the USA.”

    1. Trump supporters are against the government giving handouts. So Loser and Jill, I say I don’t want my tax dollars being used to give you a subsidy or stimulus check…. especially since you think only lefty losers do things like that. Meanwhile, you say you are Christians, so why are you so disrepectful to the man who blew himself up and the people and property he damaged? I don’t understand your attitude, especially at Christmas. With that said, you reap what you sow… your negativity and disrepect will come back on you and those you care about. When it does, I just want you to know… you brought it on them and yourself.

  3. I suspect it was more than just a suicide bombing. Since he was so high tech in the bombing, could it be he was sending a message about ending communications if he so desired in the US?

  6. A friend’s comment to me on my Facebook, interesting:

    “Something interesting in regards to the AT&T attack. How many people are keeping up with all of what is going on?

    AT&T got a contract to do forensic audit on Dominion voting machines and those machines were being moved to Nashville this past week. The former owner of the AT&T building in Nashville, William Kennard, is a board member for Cerberus Capital Management and AT&T… He also was Bill Clinton’s FCC chair, and Obama’s Ambassador to the EU.

    Dominion voting is owned by Cerberus Capital Management… Cerberus is run by Staple Street Execs. Joe Biden’s brother-in-law, Steven Owens, is the co-founder of Staple Street Execs along with William Kennard (mentioned above).

    Supercomputer in TN was connecgted to the AT&T internet in NASHVILLE… yesterday evening the Cumberland River cooling system was compromised due to internet outage and the Supercomputer fried…

    If you don’t know, “Kraken” is a reference to a Supercomputer former prosecutor, Sidney Powell, has been talking about.

    So the explosion “just happened” to be at the AT&T location where they “just so happen” to control the cooling system for the Supercomputer and house the Dominion voting machines and drives for forensic audit.

    Does it make sense now why no lives were lost? Does it make sense now why the FBI task lead couldn’t even put together a coherent sentence in the press conference yesterday? Does it make sense why the mayor was making light of the situation, almost laughing yesterday?

    Fact Checkers … your turn!”

      1. If you are using snopes as a source to discredit people you might want to re-examine your approach.

        It’s a site started by a couple in their basement. They have one purple-haired employee. In their divorce, it was revealed that the husband was spending snopes money for sex with a pornstar/prostitute he met online.

        He’s now married to the pornstar/prostitute and she works at snopes with the ex-wife, the purple-haired employee, and the creepy founder guy.

        For many years Snopes was a kitschy site for debunking urban myths. Only the village idiot would rely on them for fact-checking anything serious. Yet, many people do.
