I would like to add that almost none of these coincidences, like Jabe said, never happened during 2016-2020?? Explain that someone? There were always some, but not like the frequency of mishaps from 2021-2023. Not coincidence at all. 2016-2020, no conflicts, no wars, no invasions, etc. Coincidence?? No. But not just for one man. the main issue is the one party now that all of this is happening in the USA and abroad. ?? Why. I know the answer.
Anyone worried about this?

Tunnel vision again rears its skinny head as it focuses only on one problem of its choosing, and ignoring the reality coming from all around. Head stuck in the tunnel, it can see nothing else.
Anyone who makes edgy accusations and claims that all is the blame of their sole favorite target is usually blind in at least one eye.

We prefer it apolitical around here, to the point of references to how it was when orange man occupied the big white mansion. It's a dts thing we don't want to get cranked back, ok? Please, pretty please with sugar on top.

Few things:

2. paragraphs are ALL our friends
3. there's no conspiracy
4. don't forget your tinfoil hat when you go out today

This is the 'small data set' fallacy.
"The nicer houses didn't burn"
These almost always have larger yards that are well-maintained (no debris/dead stuff/etc).
And reminder, there's no conspiracy.
Have to agree with you...
I am literally almost blind in 1 eye. Oh, you mean figuratively! LOL

If a terrorist group wanted to really scare Americans, the place to attack wouldn't be in large cities where such things are expected. I've read that attacking shopping malls around the holidays would deeply scar the American psyche. So would initiating multi-car pile-ups on a bunch of Interstates, preferably over a period of a few days. Many Americans think they're safe if they're outside larger cities. An attack like I mentioned would paralyze the entire country with fear, probably cost more than the 9/11 attacks in terms of economic damage, and (to quote a line from Avatar):
"Now, the hostiles believe that this mountain stronghold of theirs is well protected by their – their deity. And when we destroy it, we will blast a crater in their racial memory so deep that they won't come within a thousand klicks of this place ever again."
Plenty of really ignorant people in large cities. Sadly, most of them actually. Just like pretty much anywhere else.
Hence my usual line when I hear neighbors or friends talk about leaving NYC. You can run, but eventually the same problems are coming your way no matter where you go, short of living in the middle of rural Alaska off-grid. Best to just stand your ground and deal with them here. Besides, moving is SUCH a hassle.
Same here. I feel perfectly safe where I am.
Yep, many of those homicides are gang bangers offing each other, like this one not far from where my brother lives.
True but with 40 years of wage stagnation in many cases if prices were higher people would simply do without. The stores selling higher-priced goods would be out of business even without Walmart.
I'd gladly pay a little more for things if it meant keeping people in this country in jobs, but for a lot of the stuff I need that option doesn't even exist any more.

Europe and Japan seem to manage exactly that. They also have trains that average up to three times the speed of Amtrak. Railroads and subways are sadly the neglected step child in this country. It shouldn't be that way. Rail is by far the most efficient way to move goods and people. Done right, it's also the fastest by far.
With your assertion that it just didn't happen before; you apparently never consider that we just weren't allowed to know

So, you are saying that previously, there was a conspiracy to a coverup. Hmmmm!

Despite the popularity of this type of non-thinking class warfare based cynicism, it's behind virtually every bloody conflict in history. Substituting any aggrieved group for your "politicians" led to 'guillotine justice' just a couple hundred years ago, lynchings in this country and every other around the world since the beginning of time, and has people being accosted because they appear to belong to a group that is popular to hate. But hey, let's throw some more gasoline on the fire.
It's all fun and games, until they decide that you belong to one of the classes of people with whom they've got a grudge to bear, and at the rate things are going, you probably already do.
Condescension or Condescendence is a form of incivility wherein the speaker or poster displays an attitude of patronizing superiority or contempt. Condescension "is associated with a patronizing attitude, and with other negative words such as divisive, heartless, arrogant, high-handed, [and] dictatorial".

LoL!! Total lack of self-awareness day, all the way from the condescending opening to the "attitude of patronizing superiority or contempt" of the closing line.
Try to do better indeed.
Did you take a few seconds to consider that I DID NOT QUOTE ANYONE? 🙂
Fortunately, the 9/11 attackers didn't understand Americans. From what intelligence info I'm able to siphon, they still don't (thankfully). Personally, I always thought they botched the attack. If they dropped an airliner every other month over time, then people would have remained fearful. Their methods of hijacking also were pretty poor.
I always thought the best attack would be on the power grid. Without getting into specifics, if you understand the US grid, there's some attacks which require very little skill and capital but you would be able to knock out parts of the grid for 1-2 months. We saw what happened in Texas and that was only a few days. At the same time, part of me secretly wants to see how the youth would handle no cell phones or social media for a few weeks.

Knocking out the grid is easy, and for a helluva lot longer than just a couple of months. You just need one item and a delivery system for it. As well as knowing where the right target is. Thankfully that item is not cheap nor easy to acquire.
As for the details?.... Hell no, I'm not posting that on a Public Internet forum!
