    What we know about the suspect in the US mail bombings

    This is a breaking story, so not all of the information below may be correct:

    --
    US authorities have arrested a suspect who they say is connected to the mail bombs sent to around a dozen high-profile critics of Donald Trump this week, the Department of Justice said.

    The suspect
    The man was arrested in South Florida, CNN reports, citing multiple law-enforcement sources. He is in his 50s, one source told the New York Times.

    A van
    Investigators are examining a white van covered with stickers carrying Trump’s name and the presidential seal, according to MSNBC.

    Belongings
    Authorities are also looking at “right-wing paraphernalia” found at the scene of the arrest, MSNBC added.

    The progressive liberal press will milk this for every drop of milk (no blood) it is worth.

    I predict they will do this far beyond the notoriety they gave to James T. Hodgkinson (Trump hater) who shot and almost killed Steve Scalise and four others.

    Conservatives need to rebut the accusations against President Trump with the fact that sick individuals are from all political fanatical motivation.

    Also if this individual was driven by Trumps rhetoric so then was Hodgkinson and other sick individuals are driven by statements that certain moguls have made known publically that they 1) want to blow up the white house, 2) show an effigy of a decapitated President Trump, 3) want to take President Trump out behind the gym and beat him up, 4) want to punch him in the face, 5) have a play in which President Trump is assassinated, and on and on ...

    Hypocritical, two-faced progressive press and news media!

    OK so I issued a rant:

    It was all over the liberal press this AM - It is Trump's fault!

    Nothing about anything said or done by left loons.

    They are desperate, they have no true sense of morality, their emotional hunger is their guide and motivation.

    It's just too bad it takes something like this, or worse, for it to finally happen, but I'm not ready to assume he stays off the street this time. Obviously, our system can be rather lax these days. (However, the evidence seems stacked against him. What seals it for me is that the bombs were sent in manila envelopes. That was a joke, unless you've been on a jury.)

    If there is fault to be found here, it more likely lies with those inciting left loons--seeing how far they take it, and then how the left ignores it, downplays it, or even justifies it. This would be more than enough to get reactions from those leaning the other way. Perhaps they are even doing it intentionally in hopes of a reaction like his, so they can then blame Trump. I guess it worked.

    "Something still doesn’t pass the smell test. In a moment of time where merely wearing a “MAGA” hat can get you fired, beat up, or merely harangued out of your favorite eatery, we are asked to believe that Cesar Altieri Sayoc was allowed to drive around safely in a van abundantly and meticulously adorned with pro-Trump stickers and a few depicting his personal animus toward the usual anti-Trump suspects, all of their colors vibrant, un-faded in the semitropical Florida sun.

    The van was never overturned or torched wherever he parked or drove it. No tires were ever slashed, no windows were ever smashed in with a baseball bat. It was never even keyed. And there it was in pristine condition, undamaged and ready for its close-up before a media avid to blame President Trump for Sayoc's actions.

    Why would an ardent or, as the media will say, “unhinged” Trump supporter, watching, as the rest of us have, the so-called “blue wave” break up before it reaches shore amidst a roaring economy and widespread outrage over the treatment of Judge Brett Kavanaugh and the oncoming illegal alien caravan invasion, do something so idiotic, something that could only slow the Trump train and help Democrats blame “both sides” and Trump’s allegedly “toxic rhetoric”

    One observer asked the obvious question:

    Why does Cesar Sayoc, the alleged “MAGABomber”, follow mainly liberals on Twitter and have a van covered in brand new pro-President Donald Trump stickers? It's as if he isn’t a supporter and wants it pinned on the president.

    Another asked

    A noted pundit made another observation that is curious:

    Cesar Sayoc -- the alleged mail bomber -- had Trump stickers all over his vehicle. But on Twitter, he only follows 32 people -- many of whom are left-wingers like Lina Dunham, Barack Obama and Jimmy Kimmel. What gives?

    Indeed, what gives? Before we haul down the false flag, it might be worth trying to answer that question...."
