CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 24, 2023
THE HYPE OVER THAT CAR EXPLOSION ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER AT NIAGRA FALLS, NEW YORK PRODUCED A TORRENT OF SPECULATION WITHOUT ANY FACTS THAT SHOULD CONCERN US ALL.
NO ONE KNEW ANYTHING AFTER THE INCIDENT, BUT CABLE NETWORKS WERE QUICK TO HYPE THE PROSPECT OF TERRORISM. THEY RAN CLIPS OF THE FBI DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER RAY TESTIFYING RECENTLY BEFORE CONGRESS ABOUT AN IMMINENT TERRORIST THREAT. A SUPPOSED WITNESS WAS INTERVIEWED ON FOX. HE SAID HE SAW THE CAR GOING AIRBORNE. HE ALSO SAID HE SAW WHAT APPEARED TO HIM TO BE TWO TURKISH MEN ARGUING WITH EACH OTHER.
FORMER FBI AGENTS WERE INTERVIEWED AND TALKED ABOUT TERRORISM AND THE DANGERS TO AMERICA.
IT TURNS OUT THE COUPLE INSIDE THE CAR WERE HEADED FOR A ROCK CONCERT AND THE DRIVER APPARENTLY HAD A MEDICAL EMERGENCY THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO APPROACH A HIGH SPEED NEAR 100 BEFORE CRASHING AND THE CAR EXPLODING.
THE MEDIA BEAT A HASTY RETREAT FROM THE SPECULATION. THIS REMINDS ME OF CHICKEN LITTLE WHO KEPT CLAIMING “THE SKY IS FALLING” WHEN IT WASN’T. WHEN THE SKY DID FALL NO ONE PAID ATTENTION TO HIS WARNINGS. RUSHING TO JUDGMENT IS ALWAYS A BAD IDEA. I’M CAL THOMAS.
