On Thursday morning police responded to a possible bomb threat near the United States Capitol. Police reportedly are investigating a pickup truck near the Library of Congress containing a suspicious item.

Currently, the area is under an active bomb threat investigation and multiple buildings are being evacuated.

According to Fox News:

Aaron Fritschner, communications director for Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va), shared on Twitter screenshots of message alerts he had received from the police agency. One message sent at 9:53 a.m. states, “Madison: Internal Security Threat: move inside office/lock doors, seek cover, and remain silent.”

A subsequent message states: “Jefferson: EVACUATE. Proceed to your designated assembly area. DO NOT exit out of the west side (First Street) of the building.”

Many lawmakers are currently out of Washington, D.C. for August recess.

New reports from CNN say that a man inside of the vehicle and is communicating with police by using a whiteboard. The truck has no license plates.

Update:

The man has reportedly told the officer he has a bomb on the truck. (per The Hill)

“The driver of the truck told the responding officer on the scene that he had a bomb and what the officer said appeared to be a detonator in the man’s hand,” Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger said during a brief press conference.

“We don’t know a whole lot. We do have a possible name, an identity of the suspect but we don’t have much information at all about him at this time. We’re going to give periodic updates,” Manger said.

“My negotiators are hard at work trying to have a peaceful resolution to this incident,” he said.

Update:

Police eventually took the man into custody Thursday afternoon.

      1. That’s overkill for Crackhead Joe! Give him a butterfly net and a fly swatter! If he survives it hand him a Super Soaker and tell him it’s a .50 Cal. and send him to fight the Taliban!

      1. Hahaha, that’s funny, after all he’s claimed that he’s done everything else.
        Driving 18 wheelers to working in the mines.
        Then came the “I graduated top of my class in law school” Oh never mind. He meant 4th from the bottom. What a POS–t!

      2. Yeah, like when delusional joe said he was the top three in his class. Truth: He was 79 out of 85. He also said he has 3 degrees. BS serial liar that he is.

  1. It is a measure of the distrust of the government which has grown up in the years since Clinton first took office (thereby introducing industrial scale corruption to a process which, until then, tho’ not pristine, had been surprisingly less hinky than it had the capacity to be), that my first reaction to this whole “bomb threat at the Capitol” news was that it was just another “False Flag” operation by Pelosi and her coterie of crooks. They had failed miserably at turning a couple rowdy visitors, back in January, into an existential threat to the Republic, so now they had to up the ante. I mean, seriously, all I could picture was someone setting off a “glitter bomb” near the Capitol steps and we’d spend the next 3 months listening to Pelosi screaming for the National Guard to “put down the insurrection” while AOC regaled us with tales about how, from her office a block away, it was just like being in a war!

    1. “…another “False Flag” operation by Pelosi and her coterie of crooks.”
      My first thoughts also although I would accuse the government in general not pelosi specifically especially after what has come out about the FBIs involvement in the Whitmer “kidnap plot”.

    2. IF any of them had the capacity to get to a box of tissue, they could not blow their brains out as none of them HAVE any!! It is dead space up there folks and we are letting them lead US around by the nose!— so who are the worst fools here; them or us right now? NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING TO STOP THE TREASON RAID OF AMERICA!????

      1. We’ve likely had more terrorists cross our Southern Border in the past 6 months of the “don’t want to get caught” persuasion.

      2. The way the democrats have been allowing illegal immigrants to cross our border, I don’t doubt it one bit!!

      3. How many Taliban have already came in across out wide open southern border? And how many other terrorists of any stripe also came in across our southern border? Absofreakinlutely the most disgusting situation I have ever witnessed in all my years!
        Vietnam Vet (1970), and that pull out was abhorrent to say the least!

    1. That was my first thought. They are brazen now and already have terror cells in this country. Add to that the border wide open.

      1. This is more likely a false flag set up by the feds to distract the people from the dangers being imported by the Biden administration.

    1. I would say that the left is trying to get our minds off Afghans so that this gives them more time to think of something else they can do to continue throwing our Country away.

    2. Yes. Did they find some empty Haagan-Dazs ice cream containers in that truck and maybe an empty vodka bottle?

    3. Or given what we now know about the supposed Whitmer “kidnap plot” the FBI set it up with multiple purposes. 1) try to connect it to Jan 6. 2) a distraction to the Afghan disaster. 3) a distraction from the disaster on the southern border. 4) a distraction from the total incompetency of Biden.

  2. U probably, haven’t seen nothing, yet. Hidenbiden, and minions have armed the terrorists, beyond anything we could imagine, they have the capability, to take on anyone,how pathetic.

  3. Why would anyone be mad at the folks working at the Capital that hate America. Gee, I have to think about that today.

  4. Sounds like Bill Ayers is in the area. He bombed the capitol before. Funny thing, nothing happened to him either. Then later, he held a fund raiser for Obunghole in his living room!!

  5. A bomb would just scatter that BS into the atmosphere causing more pollution. What is need is an industrial toilet plunger the size of the Louisiana Superdome to flush that place once and for all.

  6. joe will get off nothing will happen to him news media won’t report the truth that’s why your hearing bomb report get our minds off what really is happening just like the magician now to hear 👂then you don’t biden should be tarred and feathered and run out of office on a rail

  8. Next news story: Trump supporter in white van plans bomb attack on Capital. Upon further investigation, he was hired by Federal Gov’t to paint Library of Congress. Guess we got it wrong again!!!

  9. Question who on earth is dumb enough to trust our executive branch, or their in the pocket capital police force of the democratic communist party. Honestly, after seven months of getting F over? Second whom is that stupid to believe anything the said by the most evilest government in our history. I believe nothing coming from this executive branch and congressional majority the cess pool of pure evil. Through rigged elections by HR1, and illegally on purpose invited alien immigration, the Democrats will rule with a communist copied iron first forever, or until we give up the republic to join the Global New World order one global communist government under the United Nations who work for the Chinese communist whom would never lose their sovereignty our dictatorship did this, it was the greatest internal act of treason ever committed in world history. Obama ‘s wet dream the total destruction of our republic millions died to preserve, for Global socialism, while wealthy like himself keep their countless millions when any wealth is distributed. Never has such evil taken power illegally.

  10. Well, either it is more false flag kabuki theater OR it’s the REAL Taliban… What’s the odds? Oh I forgot: maybe it’s wunnem wicked old Trumper supremacists! Tee hee hee…

  11. Lets let Joe, nasty nancy, chuck the schmuck, and the sqaud disarm the bomb and the Whore can hold the flashlight for them.

  12. How convenient! Look, folks, over there!! Forget about the thousands of Americans in Afghanistan whose lives are in extreme danger!!!

  13. False flag! Gotta keep thesheeple believing they’re under active threat from the church ladies & all…

  14. I know members of Congress aren’t very popular or user friendly right now, but isn’t a bomb a little overkill?
