Numerous sources:

Fox News is now disputing its own reporting. Embarrassing. Would love to know who the "high level sources" are that they initially quoted. https://t.co/BQXOK4iE5U— Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) November 22, 2023

 

NYTimes: "A law enforcement official briefed on the incident said investigators believed the explosion resulted from the impact of the collision. The car went airborne and struck a cement pillar, according to the official. A suitcase was found near the car but did not contain…— Steve Lookner (@lookner) November 22, 2023

 

NBC -- NO EXPLOSIVES FOUND IN VEHICLE AT US-CANADA BORDER.

Four law enforcement officials told @Tom_Winter and @jonathan4ny that no explosives were found in the vehicle that crashed into the Buffalo-area border checkpoint. Cause still TBD, but law enforcement officials NOT calling this terrorism.— Ken Dilanian (@KenDilanianNBC) November 22, 2023

 

SKY NEWS now reporting "no indication of a bomb" in vehicle at US-Canada border. Link in reply.

The black smoke sure looks like a gasoline fire, not eplosives.

Little confusing. Car went to first check point (not the scene of the carjacking) and when directed to second inspection, put the pedal to the metal.

That's what is confusing to me, too.

I thought that was the original reporting. I haven't been paying attention to this story this afternoon, but I thought I heard briefly that the car may have been on a side street alongside the border road and entered the border zone out of control.

That could have been me not hearing correctly since I was busy doing other things this afternoon.

I think we just don’t have the facts yet...thus, we are confused with cross evidence. Not our fault. Give it a few days and we might get the facts. “Might,” is emphasized ....it is the media and government giving us the “facts.”

Biden would try to make it appear to be normal to negotiate with terrorists. He's done it before and he'll do it again.

I agree.

Then let me suggest that if it were a terrorist attack, the Biden State Department would want it to go away because fear of terrorism will cause the public opinion to support Israel's continued actions in Gaza.

Biden wants a cease-fire but will take a pause. An actual terror attack now will make the push for a pause untenable in the public's opinion.

As I showed in the NBC Poll from two days ago, the public's favorable/unfavorable opinion of Israel is 47/24, but the public's opinion of Hamas' is 1/79.

If terrorism is being exported to the United States by supporters of Hamas, the public would never support a pause or a cease-fire pushed by the Biden State Department.

“ If terrorism is being exported to the United States by supporters of Hamas”

Except it isn’t.

The surveillance video appears to show the car getting launched by the concrete curb just across the street from the “duty free” sign.

It takes about 10 minutes to check for explosive residue. It’s there or it’s not. Was the car a Pinto?

The streetview I posted is at the corner of Main St. and Niagara. The eyewitness account seems logical.

The surveillance camera is looking over the fence towards the parking garage on the corner of Rainbow Blvd and Niagara.

That's what I'm trying to understand. You will notice that I began the sentence with "if," followed by my supposition.

It may be ultimately true that this case was not terrorism, but I still believe that my supposition about the Biden administration's motives and the public's opinion is correct if a terrorist incident should occur in the near future.

The US is not at war with Hamas, it would be very untypical of the way they roll to attack the US, at least right now.

The counter-jihad movement has a long history of exaggeration and fear-mongering.

We're still talking past each other.

Do you agree that the Biden administration is strongly encouraging Netanyahu to accept a humanitarian pause, according to reports?

Yup—always watch what they do—ignore what they say.

I don’t know what the Biden administration is up to and I wish they would stay out of foreign countries business.
