German Authorities: Cologne Nail-Bombing Not Terrorism; Just Your Ordinary, Run-of-the-Mill, How-Ya-Doin' Bombing

A bomb was set off in public, wounding 22, but the Germans are quite on top of it, and know for a fact that it is unconnected to terrorism.

Steven den Beste takes the Germans to task for their reflexive, knee-jerk, Madrid-like assertions that a terrorist bombing is not in fact a terrorist bombing at all (perhaps, pace Reuters, it's merely a "militant bombing").

OTOH, I remember the FBI denying that an Egyptian man who shot up an El Al ticket-counter in LA and left a message saying "Death to the Jews" could in any way be construed a "terrorist," either...

This reminds me of the idiotic phrase 'assault rifle.' What kind of rifle isn't of the assault category? Are there 'quietly avoid and hope they'll go away rifles?'

Update on Jasmine Ratchet: The DEI Dum-Dumb is eyeing a Senate run, because why should Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke get paid millions every two years to get blown out in the Texas senatorial election? Shouldn't she get some of that sweet sweet Act Blue graft?
Crockett addressed the possibility in an Instagram post where she said she would make a decision "depending on how many people reach out," but that her main focus has been legislating in the House of Representatives.
The post came after a poll from the National Republican Senatorial Committee was published showing that she was leading the pack of candidates with 35 percent in a hypothetical primary and was leading former Senate candidate Colin Allred, who was at 20 percent, per the Latin Times.

The Republican Senatorial Committee claims that she's ahead? LOL, that might be a little troll-poll.
