This happens when the superbowl is in New Orleans. Idk seems sketchy. There’s something more to this, I don’t believe our government.

@johnnydoe3603

Still the Media won’t talk about the Multiple Donations by the Suspect to MAGA & Trump. 😊

@pmwiky

Dear Muslim Jihads , IF the goal of your Jihad to destroy the U.S.A., you only need to stand back & watch America collapse under the weight of its own self-indulgent, self-cannibizing stupidity. Instead of giving such an overly aggressive, overwhelming yet unfocused force an easy target for their indiscriminately violent and Un-nuanced wrath.

@JeffreyMason-e3k

Sue the rental company for negligence in preventing the attack.

@abbasbazzi1707

Oh God, show your Mercy upon this land. Mercy, God, Mercy!!!

@KaLee-ml1ks

Y’all ain’t ready. 😂 don’t go to New Orleans fools!

@D8099.

Neal Mohammed, & Sundar Pichai are blocking conservative commentary. They too are both middle easterns and CEOS of Americas largest corporations Google and YouTube. They’re letting this particular post “where I’m pointing fingers” stay up, and blocking everything else I put up on YouTube. Do the math guys.
