The Pew Research Center says citizen support of the United States government has hit a new record low, with only 28% of those surveyed rating the federal government favorably.

When you split the survey across party lines Democrats still make up the majority who like what their federal cronies are doing.

More and more citizens are turning away from the Federales (it’s Spanish, people) putting their trust into their local governments, at 63% according to the survey.

In Boston, Massachusetts, now three dead and 144 plus wounded.  It includes one eight years old boy killed, and many children wounded.

Of interest is that families of the Newtown, Connecticut, shooting were sitting near the first explosion. This year’s Boston Marathon was dedicated to the victims of the Newtown shooting.

Boston Police Commissioner, Ed Davis, said he thinks the fire at the JFK Library is not connected to the Marathon bombings, but they are investigating as if they are.

There was a lot of confusing reports about the JFK Library, most coming from law enforcement.  Early on there was a report attributed to the Boston Globe which said that a controlled explosion was about to take place at the library.  Then, I even heard at a press conference officials saying that it was not a controlled explosion but a third bomb.  Shortly after that lower level police and library officials refuted that, saying it was a fire. Then it was stated that an “incendiary device” started the fire.  The only fact we the public can know now is based on pics which show there was a large fire inside the JFK Library.

Another interesting thing, I heard NBC’s Brian Williams pose the question how could two bombs get in right “under the noses” of all that police security at the Marathon.  About an hour later I heard a report saying that federal officials somehow confirmed that the bombs were placed after the race started.

I also read and heard reports that said cops were stopping anyone with a backpack or similar carrying device. There was even pics of a man in cuffs in the Boston Commons, reports saying he was carrying several bags.  I read comments from Marathon runners and spectators about police refusing to let people pick up their bags after the explosions. Lines of bags that had been searched formed on the sidewalks.  If cops didn’t know about the bombs before the explosions how did they know they were ‘package’ or ‘backpack’ bombs?

And the next question is: How did they know they were set off with cell phones?

Live reporters stated that cell phone service was turned off.  Reports stated that police believed the bombs had been set off with cell phones.  I read statements by marathon runners who said when they tried to use their cell phones after the explosions, police took their phones.  A couple of hours after the explosion, AT&T came out and said they had to shut down their cell service due to “overloading”, but AT&T said people could still use the cell service to send text messages.

There was also reports from individuals that people they knew running in the race were pulled from the race for “dehydration” and sent to hospital, they were not allowed to keep their cell phones.  This happened before the explosions!

What about the fourth bomb?  I was watching a live reporter talking about how the media was being pushed back by cops, because of a third and fourth bomb being found. Apparently the third ‘bomb’ was the JFK Library fire, but she definitely stated that a fourth bomb was found and destroyed.  Then her live feed was cut.

Now what about the reports that federal officials, and even the Boston city police, had no intell that there was going to be a terrorist attack?

Then there’s the conflicting reports between federal officials and the Boston city police.  For at least two hours I heard reports that federal officials were stating that Boston police had a suspect in custody, yet every time the media asked the Boston police chief he refuted the federal claim.  Eventually Boston officials said they had detained people, but that nobody had been officially arrested.

I wonder why the Pew Research Center says the overwhelming majority of people of the United States of America have lost trust in their federal government?
