Failed RNC Chair Turned Democrat Floats
Conspiracy Theory About Trump Assassination
Attempt Wound

Original Article

Posted By: DW626, 7/17/2024 2:34:47 PM

Former RNC Chair Michael Steele floated a debunked conspiracy theory that a shard of glass injured former President Donald Trump’s ear during Saturday's assassination attempt rather than a bullet. Speaking on MSNBC, Steele said no medical reports have been released and questioned the extent the ear was injured. Despite left-leaning fact checkers such as Snopes giving a false rating to claims that glass from a teleprompter hit Trump’s ear, the commentator floated the theory anyway.

It doesn't matter to what "extent the ear was injured." It was a complete "either/or" event. Trump was facing forward, the shooter was aiming at the right side of Trump's head. His right ear would have been center of mass for Trump's head. The shooter took his shot. Trump turned his head right and probably leaned back-left just a little. The bullet arrives. Trump's right ear is no longer center of mass. Trump's ear is now, as it normally is, just an appendage on the side of Trump's head. If Trump hadn't turned, it was a kill shot. If Trump hadn't moved back-left a little, it was a kill shot. The shooter should have achieved his goal - TWICE! Don't play poker with Trump. And what glass? Even if the teleprompters were all still intact, from the footage, they were obviously on the left side of Trump's head at that point. Oooo, I know! Trump had a piece of glass in his hand, and when the bullet whizzed by, it was his signal to clap it to his ear and cut himself. We could then say the shooter was firing blanks, except for the unfortunate collateral damage of one death and two in critical (but stable!) condition. (I hope you people have enough sense to know when I'm being sarcastic.)

Maybe we can trade Biden's Hur report (or a cognitive test report) for Trump's assassination medical report.

MSNBC has become a serious threat to the well-being of our nation. They may also be a security threat as well. They mainly exist to spread the thoughts and ambitions of COMCAST which owns large cable franchises as well as the left-wing channels that are the outlets for Comcast's garbage. This is exactly the concerns we expressed when COMCAST bought NBC. Our concerns were overruled by the government.

Then again. What point is Steele attempting to make? If the guy missed by a millimeter or a yard there was an addition attempt. . If it was the hardest graze by a bullet or a shard of glass it still did not change the fact that someone nearly killed Trump

Some years ago I donated to the RNC. That was when Michael Steele was running it. The next year I learned that he was spending donors' money to take the big money boys to strip clubs (and, for all I know, buying them lap dances). I never gave money to the RNC again. I've donated to individual candidates, but never to the party after that revelation.

The left is obsessed with falsifying American history. For these radicals, the Founding Fathers did not write the Constitution to form a more perfect union; it was merely a ploy by racist white males to protect slavery. Similarly, those who settled America were not seeking a better life for their families; their aim was genocide against peaceful indigenous people who were careful stewards of the environment. The latest example of this historical falsification recently occurred in New York City, where President Biden, accompanied by Governor Kathy Hochul and rock star Elton John

A bullet hit a United States president for the first time in 43 years. They say it was a failed assassination attempt because the bullet did not kill Donald Trump. That is true, but we should not forget that, at the same time, Biden’s political career was killed outright. In fact, this inaccurate shot may be the beginning of the end of the Democrat party in its present form. If this happens, it will lead to a long-term inactivation of most leftist movements in America. Biden had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to alter the path of his decline into oblivion.

United States Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle should be out of a job now. Her agency failed to protect former President Donald Trump, who was nearly assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. A rooftop with a clear vantage point to the stage at the rally was never secured or even swept—all of this when the location was flagged as a security vulnerability. Trump escaped death that day, missing getting hit with a fatal headshot by millimeters. Why wasn’t the roof secure? Cheatle said that the sloped roof was a safety concern. I’m not kidding:

While we’re waiting for the Lord Almighty to weigh in on President Biden’s political future, we’ve been subjected to a display of Democrat disingenuousness that is not only breathtaking, but also, in the favorite phrase of the left, an “existential threat” to all Democrat politicians’ chances in the November election. Like Captain Renault in Casablanca, most Democrat politicians and pundits were pretending to be shocked — shocked! — at the sudden show of impairment exhibited by our “sharp, focused, engaged” president in the recent debate against Donald Trump. Most rank-and-file Democrats, on the other hand, were probably genuinely shocked to see their candidate falter so abysmally.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump was nearly assassinated last night during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by a 20-year-old Democrat donor named Thomas Matthew Crooks. Trump immediately grabbed his neck after being shot while bleeding profusely from his ear. Video recordings of the scene also show Trump ducking down immediately after the initial gunshots were heard. Secret Service agents promptly shielded Trump and guided him away from further harm. Despite being injured, a defiant Trump raised his fist and yelled “Fight!” multiple times toward the crowd.

Donald Trump may well have sealed the outcome of the 2024 election with a performance on Thursday night in Milwaukee that has largely been unmatched in recent American political history. The former president eschewed the polarization and division that has marked much of his rhetoric in the past. In his speech officially accepting the Republican Party's nomination there were only a couple of references to the 2020 election. Trump was able to hit on key messages when speaking about topics like inflation, and especially immigration, in ways that were compelling and arguably responsive to the fundamental concerns of Americans. I say this not to engage in hyperbole,

Democratic strategist James Carville on Thursday criticized the belief of some of former President Donald Trump’s backers that “God is protecting him” after surviving an assassination attempt on Saturday. Trump survived the attempt on his life at his Pennsylvania rally after a bullet grazed his head, with some of the former president’s backers now believing that he is being protected by God, according to The New York Times. Carville on “Politics War Room” said he thinks this belief is “horseshit” and “a perversion,” adding that their religious perspective will lead to Trump destroying his enemies if reelected.

As President Joe Biden faces a growing drumbeat of pressure to drop his reelection bid, a majority of Democrats think his vice president would make a good president herself. A new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 6 in 10 Democrats believe Kamala Harris would do a good job in the top slot. About 2 in 10 Democrats don’t believe she would, and another 2 in 10 say they don’t know enough to say. Since Biden’s debate debacle on June 27, many Democrats have privately and even openly looked to Harris to step in and succeed Biden as the party’s presidential nominee.

Botanists decided that more than 200 plants, fungi and algae species names should no longer contain a racial slur related to the word caffra, which is used against Black people and others mostly in southern Africa. The changes voted on today at the International Botanical Congress in Madrid mean that plants such as the coast coral tree will, from 2026, be formally called Erythrina affra, instead of Erythrina caffra.
