More stretching facts to fit a preferred theory. There are lots of applications hosted or dependent on AT&T; pick one that fits your hobby horse and that was the target.
I wonder how many pizza delivery places were taken off-line yesterday? Maybe the bomb was a protest against pineapple on pizza?!

Is someone trying to blind LE, emergency services and military and NG comms? You'd think if this were true there would be some follow-on terrorist/criminal/foreign action--unless this was a test or probe for some later bigger action.
Or it could just be some pissed-off guy with a beef. It's been such a weird FU year, anything's possible.

The leads at this time would be vehicle VIN, license plate if one can be found, bomb residue to try to identify explosive, stolen vehicle reports any any other tips that might come in.
Especially because we the people are patriotic - unlike our clownish, corrupt elites - and want so desperately to believe in the old verities which the elites have trampled on or demolished altogether -- rule of law, individual rights, due process etc
[NY Post] Fresh evidence published jointly by The New York Times and ProPublica confirms that Beijing has been trying to keep COVID-19 information from the rest of the world since the very start of the pandemic.
On Feb. 7, Li Wenliang, the doctor who blew the whistle on COVID-19, died of the disease he'd warned the world about. While working at Wuhan Central Hospital in China's Hubei Province, he saw a new version of the severe acute respiratory syndrome known as SARS, which also originated in China in 2002.
As news of the 34-year-old doctor's untimely death spread and grief went viral on social media such as Weibo and WeChat ‐ Beijing set out to bury the truth.
"They ordered news websites not to issue push notifications alerting readers to [Li's] death. They told social platforms to gradually remove his name from trending topics pages. And they activated legions of fake online commenters to flood social sites with distracting chatter," the Times-ProPublica team reports. In all, the Hangzhou offices of Beijing's Internet regulator, the Cyberspace Administration of China, issued more than 3,200 directives and 1,800 memos in its COVID-censorship drive ‐ all leaked by the hacker group C.C.P. [Chinese Communist Party] Unmasked.
"At a time when digital media is deepening social divides in Western democracies," the investigative team warns, "China is manipulating online discourse to enforce the Communist Party's consensus."
In January, before the coronavirus had even been definitively identified, the CCP began working overtime to mislead the world about the truth to protect the party's image as infections began soaring ‐ even making the disease look less severe. As a result, the world lost its best chance of preventing the global pandemic.
This is a damning expose from two left-leaning news organization. Now it's up to left, right and center to unite in holding the CCP to account for its obscene effort to protect its own image at the huge and deadly expense to the entire world.

They still are actively disturbing bio-virus in my opinion. Any country that defies them. Any country will pay. Every order shipped out of their ports is suspect. I'll bet you no shipment is debugged.
Another useless Never-Trumper
[Am Thinker] Jonah Goldberg, one of the smugger NeverTrumpers, is as bitter and petulant as ever. And no, it’s not because of the undeniable election steal of 2020. In fact, Goldberg is quite satisfied that Donald Trump might be soon out of office even if the means to do so were most foul. It’s an "ends justify the means" type of thing. He is complaining that the Republican Party will remain the party of Trump regardless of who is in the White House come January.
Goldberg states this in his latest column. He begins it with words which more belong in the mouth of a CNN propagandist than an alleged conservative:
Throughout President Trump’s capture of the GOP, many Republicans have held fast to the hope that after he leaves office, the party can return to the sunny Reaganism of the Before Times. Of course, Trump’s bitter-enders have made it clear that they’d be happy to tear down not just the party, but the country itself to avoid having to live in a post-Trump world.
Translation: It is Trump and his supporters who are willing to tear the country down and not the criminals in the FBI, Department of Justice, the CIA, the Democrat Party, and media who tried by illegal means to overturn the 2016 election. Nor is it the fault of those who engaged in massive election fraud and ballot stuffing to seemingly give the election to a hapless Joe Biden.
As to the clear threat posed by leftists of all stripes intent on destroying the American republic, Goldberg is like the three monkeys that hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil. This former editor of NeverTrump Central, the National Review Online, is content to have the left do his dirty work for him (i.e., slay the Orange Monster from Queens).
Goldberg seems oblivious to the fact that the issues that propelled Trump into the White House in 2016 still resonate with the American people. These include immigration control, confronting China, addressing freeload allies, ditching free trade for fair trade, and avoiding foreign adventures.
Still, Goldberg does note two telling signs for believing his hope for the GOP reverting to its pre-Trump days is in vain. First are the polls. They show Trump is the heavy favorite of the Republican base for the 2024 nomination. It’s the second reason, however, that vexes Goldberg even more. It’s that Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is fully on board the Trump train.
Goldberg says many in the Republican establishment think those supporting Trump’s fighting the election steal suffer from a ’temporary fever, a last gasp of Trump’s cynical performative nonsense aimed at venting anger and raising money." Goldberg believes, however, that there’s more to it than a "fever" and that’s because of Cruz.
As Goldberg sees it, Ted Cruz "has long been a bellwether for the mood of the broader GOP base, which is why he switched from one of Trump’s biggest critics to one of his biggest supporters -- and why he offered to argue the Texas lawsuit before the Supreme Court." It’s this lawsuit, by the way — a suit that Ted Cruz, a true constitutional scholar, volunteered to argue — that the wordsmith Goldberg calls "idiotic."
The bone stuck in Goldberg’s craw is that no politician in recent memory has wrapped himself more in Reagan’s legacy than Cruz. But now the senator from Texas is all in with Trump. This is a betrayal in Goldberg’s eyes. But is it?
Ronald Reagan was president from 1981 to 1989. It doesn’t seem to have dawned on Goldberg that the circumstances of the 1980’s are far different than those facing America today.
Back then, the USSR was a true threat and China was an economic and military midget. That’s hardly the case today. Blindly following what Reagan did nearly 30-years ago is not just unwise; it’s downright foolish.
Looking at Goldberg’s behavior, it’s obvious he uses Republican fondness for Ronald Reagan as an excuse to practice his Trump-hate while trying to make himself look respectable. Peddling that self-serving malarkey exposes Goldberg as nothing but a useful idiot for the left.

Trump achieved more to further conservatism than any president since Reagan. Maybe even more than Reagan, since he didn't compromise on immigration.
Goldberg needs to retire, maybe take up a service industry job. He definitely needs to get away from DC and NYC and be around actual Americans, rather than those dependent on government for their status.

Is there a bigger collection of no-talent hacks, of someone's-sons, than the NeverTrumpers?
Aside from the cynical lefties who manipulate these clowns, who pays them any attention?

Confused, leftest, bittereinder. His wiki bio is very revealing. Appears to have come by it honestly. Never cared for his analysis much, probably never will.
Bunch of fat fugs sitting around chewing cud who forgot how to fornicate?
Oh, that's not how they eat: Pandas are born with sterile intestines and require bacteria obtained from their mother's feces to digest vegetation.
Snort, even better.

Never Trumpers thought everything would go back to normal once Trump was gone. They missed that Trump restored the party of Reagan and Lincoln and the Never Trumpers are not welcome back.
[PJMedia] Kabary Salem is a former Olympic boxer who was arraigned Tuesday on murder charges over the strangulation death of his daughter, Ola Salem. Ola Salem, a Moslem women’s rights activist, was found dead in Staten Island on October 24, 2019. According to an acquaintance, Ola Salem was "becoming very Americanized," and that seems to have been what sent her father over the edge.
Kabary Salem was extradited from Kuwait, to which he fled not long after his daughter’s body was discovered. Before he left, he spoke to the New York Times

Maybe muslim women deserve it? Maybe our hearts shouldn't bleed for self goals by this godforsaken phylum of humanity? As long as they keep the killing to their own sons and daughters, maybe we should even allow them some of their barbarity.

“Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.[To Hindu priests complaining to him about the prohibition of Sati religious funeral practice of burning widows alive on her husband’s funeral pyre.]” Sir Charles James Napier
