The Sugar Bowl game between Notre Dame and Georgia was postponed a day because of the Islamic terror attack on New Orleans. Before the game began, Allstate CEO Tom Wilson (no known relation to me) addressed viewers with one of the most insulting and stupid monologues ever presented in the wake of such a horrible event.

Wilson said that Americans were addicted to divisiveness and lectured viewers on the need to accept people’s imperfections and differences. In watching this little speech, delivered with alligator-tear sincerity, I had to suspend my disbelief to process the tone-deaf remarks of Mr. Wilson and wonder how a company like Allstate could allow such a mischaracterization of Americans.

Wilson said,

“Welcome to the All State Sugar Bowl. Wednesday tragedy struck the New Orleans community. Our prayers are with the victims and their families. We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity. Join Allstate working in local communities all across America to amplify the positive, increase trust, and accept people’s imperfections and differences. Together we win.”

My best take on this is that it was hastily put together without examining how the words Wilson used would be received by the American public, who was stunned by yet another bloody attack on innocent civilians by a representative of the “religion of peace.” But it’s difficult to give him the benefit of the doubt when he is lecturing all of us on our addiction to divisiveness and negativity.

Maybe Wilson meant that radical extremist savages imbedded in Islam are the ones addicted to divisiveness and negativity and refuse to trust and accept people’s imperfections and differences. If he did mean that, it sure didn’t come across. It came across as a tone-deaf lecture that Americans, who had just been targeted by a ruthless evil barbarian on behalf of a death cult, should be more accepting of those who wish to destroy America and kill every man, woman and child who disagrees with their medieval nonsense. Maybe we should set up Allstate-sponsored “acceptance” arenas where Islamists are invited to come in and get their aggressions out on unsuspecting people thinking they are attending a mental health fair.

After the uproar, Allstate issued a clarification, saying:

“To be clear, Allstate CEO Tom Wilson unequivocally condemns this heinous act of terrorism and violence in all forms. We stand with the families of the victims, their loved ones and the community of New Orleans. The reference to overcoming divisiveness and negativity reflects a broader commitment to fostering trust and positivity in communities across the nation.”

So I guess he did mean what he originally said. We are all still divisive, negative, and intolerant of people that want to kill us.

Proverbs 18:7 says, “A fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are the snare of his soul.”

Wilson stepped in a deep cesspool with his foolishness. Not even the “good hands people” could pull him out with a “clarification.” Projecting blame on innocents for murderous acts is, say it with me, Stupidocrisy.

The ISIS-inspired terrorist attack in New Orleans on New Year’s reveals many shortcomings and predictors at the beginning of what will become a very prophetic year. The predictors center around what could be ahead for Americans, as terror groups have infiltrated the country and see America as closely tied to Israel, the terrorists’ blood enemy.

As we have seen with the example of New Orleans and the subsequent pro-terrorist demonstrations in New York calling for an intifada against the US, there is a dangerous road ahead. Every American must understand these terrorists are on American soil and intend to do Americans harm. This is a new era for the country, and we must be vigilant and draw closer to God.

The shortcomings are many. In December 2018, President Donald Trump declared victory over ISIS, and the last of ISIS-held territory in Syria was liberated in March 2019. The Biden Administration, in typical Democrat style, allowed ISIS to reform. Like the Obama Administration, Biden’s is soft on Islam, sending billions of US taxpayer dollars to Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, Yemen, and Iran in the name of “humanitarianism.” This funded the terrorist efforts that were depleted during Trump, who cut off aid to those terrorist sponsors. Moreover, Trump reversed Obama’s open borders. Biden reversed Trump’s border security. Between Obama and Biden thousands of terrorists have entered the US.

The FBI and Homeland Security have the daunting task of protecting Americans from terrorists. One failure, like we saw in New Orleans, costs lives and has a ripple effect on the security of all Americans.

The FBI has been obsessed for years with removing/undermining/convicting Trump and tracking down hundreds of people who attended the January 6, 2021, rally for misdemeanor violations. The FBI failed to protect Trump from assassination attempts. The FBI’s work on Jan 6 and trying to rid America of Trump politically or otherwise are acts of treason. Especially when Biden has an open border policy for terrorists, drug dealers, and gangs. And who is more of a danger to the country, Jan 6 people or the pro-terrorists marching down the streets of New York calling for an intifada—really a declaration of war on all of us?

Then there are Democrat leaders of cities like New Orleans dictating policy. They are so passionate about promoting “Palestinian” rights and abortion rights and actively indoctrinating children about deviant sexual behavior that they have little focus on the security of the citizens. They always offer their condolences and prayers, but who are these evildoers praying to?

The pattern of the administrative state and socialists enabling terrorists and others to endanger your life is undeniable. It’s here. It’s real. Trump will try to clean it up, but because of evil leadership, America has turned a corner, and there are dark shadows behind it.

Let us be an Ephesians 6:13 people taking up the full armor of God and “having done all, to stand.” Pray for your and your family’s protection. Draw close to the LORD. Act justly and righteously.
