There are no coincidences. Not like this.

I looked into the background of Matthew A. Livelsberger, the 37-year-old from Colorado Springs who drove a Turo-rented Tesla and blew up at the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas in a huge explosion.

The homicide bomber Livelsberger, was killed in the blast and at least seven bystanders suffered minor injuries. He was a suicide bomber.

It occurred hours after Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, carried out a terror attack in New Orleans early Wednesday, killing at least 15 people when he rammed his rented pickup truck through crowds along Bourbon Street.

New Orlean’s Islamic terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar also used a Turo-rented vehicle in his jihadi attack.

Shamsud-Din Jabbar is suspected of plowing through a crowd of New Year’s revelers in the French Quarter hours earlier, killing at least 15 and injuring dozens more in an attack that sent shockwaves through a famous New Year’s destination the morning of a scheduled College Football Playoff game.
