Authorities putting out lots of info to obscure the facts. Try to sift through what seems true.

Why were they only worried that their 20 year old son was "missing"? Were they aware of an obsession or other mental problem? Thin article.

You notice we're only seeing a picture of a 13yr. old sweet young boy and not the thug he grew up into. Just like Trayvon Martin, only picture we saw was when he was 12yrs old and not the 18yr. old criminal he became.

Isn't it amazing how the info trickles in over several days, when the authorities knew all of this within 24 hr of the event, or even immediately. This is what leads to conspiracy theories and distrust of govt agencies. Cheatle and several others should have already tendered their resignations or been fired, there is no excuse for the incompetence or the obfuscation.

Another report said the father had also noticed the rifle was missing that morning. My add: but since his son sometimes went to the gun club shooting range a missing gun might not have alarmed him much. All of us are dealing with confused reporting, biased reporting, CYA by various officials, and outright nonsense since the shooting. I hope it gets correctly sorted out for history. Right now its ????

RE #6: I actually saved a copy of the TM photo of him sporting gold teeth and throwing gang signs. It's obviously up to us to not let the propaganda media complex memory-hole these photos.

The Democrats’ Jihad against Donald Trump 4 replies
Posted by DW626 7/18/2024 3:03:43 PM Post Reply
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.

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.

On Monday's installment of "The View," the ill-adjusted cohosts said that they would "try to heed" President Joe Biden's quite hypocritical admonition to "tamp down the rhetoric" and "turn down the temperature" following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Predictably, they failed to control their normal divisiveness. Within a few sentences of saying she wanted to reflect and seek unity, Ana Navarro and Joy Behar immediately dove into an identity-obsessed discussion of the would-be assassin:

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.

Some thoughts on the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump. First, regarding the Secret Service. It is all well and good that the agents at the scene reacted as trained and instantly covered and shielded the former president with their bodies, willingly accepting the possibility of being mortally wounded in the interest of protecting Donald Trump. However, that type of response indicates an abject failure of the protective mission. It seems that only a providential head turn to the right saved Donald Trump’s life.

Victor Davis Hanson on the Illusion of Invincibility 11 replies

Victor Davis Hanson’s latest book is a macabre warning to an aging America as it closes in on its 250th birthday. The warning comes in the form of a graphic depiction of the hideousness of war and the terrifying state of those who suffer ignominious defeat. However different the four societies described in the book were, be they Thebans, Carthaginians, Byzantines, or Aztecs, each was blinded by the illusion of invincibility. Hanson shows that such an illusion is so persistent that even as the conquered were being slaughtered, they continued to think: “It cannot happen here.”

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.

Scarborough, who has staunchly defended the 81-year-old president in recent weeks despite the mounting calls for him to step aside, called on those closest to Biden to help him “do the right thing.” “It’s really incumbent on people that are around Joe Biden to step up at this point and help

Obama and Biden have only spoken once since the president’s debate debacle on June 27 — but stressed during that conversation that his old running mate’s chances of beating Donald Trump were “greatly diminished,” the Washington Post reported. The 44th president also stressed that while Biden’s legacy was important to him, only his former vice president could make the call on whether to stay in the race. “Our campaign is not working through any scenarios where President Biden is not at the top of the ticket.

Just when I think the media can’t get any dumber, folks like MSNBC’s Joy Reid prove me dead wrong. In Reid’s latest tap-dancing routine for President Joe Biden, she responded to the news that he has COVID-19 – again. During the segment, she lauded Biden’s latest COVID diagnosis as an opportunity to attack former President Donald Trump, who is riding high after Saturday’s attempt on his life. And not spread COVID around, but also to remind people of what hell we went through with COVID because of Donald Trump. Here is a great messaging opportunity for President Biden to bring out the tape and remind people of how many people died.
