Two words describe the security situation at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13: hot mess. There are so many glaring flaws, and the ground is so inexcusable that it is fertile for conspiracy theorists. Can you blame them? The Secret Service is stonewalling and stacking sandbags amid intense scrutiny from lawmakers from both parties. We don’t know if would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was a lone gunman. How many casings were recovered from the roof? We don’t know. What we do know is that no one at the Secret Service has been disciplined for this calamity, and now text messages obtained by The New York Times show

This isn't 1963. I hope the technology that wasn't available then helps bring down the cabal that staged/allowed the 'shrapnel' to hit Trump and 3 other people.

Being surprised reflects being unprepared and incompetent. Being forewarned suggests malevolence or complicity.

Deep state circling the wagons. Likely an inside job that went as planned, except that President Trump survived. Only a few people in the SS needed to be in on it, they could rely on regular agents to kill the perp. Dead men tell no tales. Unfortunately they will probably get away with it. What’s worse though, they may try again.

Was Butler PA a deep state operation? Was the USSS in on it? Was Cheatle involved? Was Ronald L. Rowe involved? It definitely was a USSS clusterf#$k. Was it on purpose, to eliminate 45? Sure looks like it.

The author points to "many glaring flaws;" however, that assumes that the Secret Service personnel in charge were fulfilling their sworn duty to protect the former president. Based on the performance of the former director, and the willful lack of coordination by the supervisor(s) at the site with the local/state LEOs, who have no independent protection duties outside of those briefed by the Secret Service, the glaring flaws are on the shooter, as he failed to complete his part of the assassination conspiracy. It is clear that those in charge of protecting Trump must have intentionally, or with criminal neglect, provided a red carpet pathway to assassination. The missing Secret Service/LEO coordination can only be intentional, or reflect criminal neglect. I base this on having been a LEO SWAT team leader involved in at least three visits to my jurisdiction by former and sitting presidents. Although my experience is dated, with the last one for Bush 41, as he was campaigning for re-election 32 years ago, if anything, the coordination and pre-event briefings have become even more complex and essential, if the over-arching goal is to keep the protectee safe. In addition to multiple teams of counter-snipers, the Secret Service also utilized a Stinger Missile Team to protect against low-flying aircraft that may be used as a weapon, and this was 9 years prior to 9/11, so someone was thinking "out of the box." A key reason for such planning and coordination, which begins several weeks before the event, is that there will be a lot of agents with long and short guns in the vicinity and if not choreographed properly, a member of the protection team could be shot by a nervous, over-excited, but well-meaning Barney Fife-type of LEO. At Trump's rally, LEO's who were at or near the scene, lacking a formal briefing and not possessing common communications gear to immediately speak to a Secret Service personnel in charge, wouldn't know that a guy on a roof with a rifle, in plain site of other guys on a roof with long guns, was not a Secret Service agent. If taken as the "dog that didn't bark," the lack of coordination and communications with those in charge of the event is enough on its own to show culpability. The Latin legal term, Res Ipsa Loquitur translates to “the thing speaks for itself,” and is used in the U.S. to refer to the legal doctrine in which an individual is assumed to have been negligent (criminal or civil) because he had exclusive control over the incident that caused the injury or damages. This assumption may be made even without specific evidence of negligence, as the accident, injury, or damages would not have occurred in the absence of negligence. Yes, the thing certainly does speak for itself.

Shocking videos from a vigil honoring the three Southport girls who were murdered in a stabbing attack show a large, angry crowd of men throwing bricks and other objects at police officers. On Monday, July 29th, 17-year-old Axel Muganwa Rudakubana attacked girls between the ages of 6 and 11 at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party. Three girls were killed, 8 others were injured, with 5 being in critical condition. [snip] Initially, police did not want to share the identity of the suspect due to his age.

In exchange for the guilty pleas, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi will avoid the death penalty they so richly deserve.

In one of the least surprising developments of all time, this week’s White Dudes for Kamala Zoom call was a festival of estrogen where a bunch of weirdos, losers, mutations, sissies, whiners, dorks, geeks, and other key sub-sections of the Democrat Party gathered in the electronic ether to humiliate themselves at the feet of their mediocre candidate. That was no surprise. I didn’t check out enough of it to see if they started with a land acknowledgment or if they reassured some of the men participating that it was understood that some of them menstruate because every second I watched, I felt the testosterone draining from my body.

Critics of Vice President Kamala Harris claim she was only picked to be President Joe Biden’s running mate because of her race and the left’s goal of checking its DEI boxes. Former President Donald Trump pointed just that out to a crowd during the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ). "I've known her for a long time, indirectly, not directly… and she was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage," Trump said. "I didn't know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black. And now she wants to be known as Black.

A student at a prestigious business school was in the Big Apple for a summer internship at Citibank when he allegedly went on a sex-crimes spree, authorities and sources say. Overachieving pervert Chamberlain Nw-iue, a 21-year-old rising senior at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, tried to rape one of his victims the day after being freed without bail in another attack, according to cops and Manhattan prosecutors. The twisted suspect later boasted to cops about his knowledge of women — and claimed his eye contact with his attempted-rape victim beforehand was enough of an “invitation” for him to come into her apartment, authorities said.

At least 13 people were shot, two of them fatally, Friday into Saturday night in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) Chicago. ABC 7 reported the weekend’s first fatal shooting occurred Friday in a basement apartment “in the 100 block of North Lamon Avenue.” The incident took place shortly after 11:30 p.m., leaving a 40-year-old man dead. The weekend’s second fatal shooting occurred “early Saturday,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Two men, a 39-year-old and a 53-year-old “were in the 4900 block of West Madison Street” when someone exited a Ford Explorer and fought with them.

Others danced in the streets, including men lovingly embracing each other as they cavorted onto one of the many bridges across the Seine River in Paris. However, one of the prerecorded dance segments was even more explicitly LGBT, as three dancers in gender-ambiguous costumes ran through the streets of Paris

Lying gets a lot of media attention, and it’s almost always negative. (Weird, huh?) But if you stop and think about it, lying is a fantastic way to make people believe something that’s totally untrue! Just ask Joe Biden. Dishonesty is everywhere. It’s not a new phenomenon. Whereas our motivation to lie might be as vast and varied as the human psyche – pride, wealth, fear, status, envy, cruelty, ambition – all liars share a single commonality: When they lie, they’re actually telling you the truth about what they want you to believe. To quote a favorite phrase from the late, great Rush Limbaugh, “Reality isn’t defined by individual choice.”

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Joe Biden will attempt to reclaim the Democratic nomination after it was “stolen” by Kamala Harris. This comment comes in light of recent announcements confirming Harris’s position as the Democrat presidential nominee, following a controversial series of events leading to Biden’s abrupt withdrawal from the 2024 race. Last week, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison announced that Harris has amassed enough delegates to secure her place at the top of the ticket, with final results expected to be confirmed on Monday. Despite never winning a primary election, Harris has now found herself positioned as the official Democrat nominee.

As recently as last week, Kamala Harris appeared to be on the cusp of picking Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) as her running mate. Despite the progressive backlash against him and a slew of scandalous leaks, he was the runaway frontrunner in the betting odds as conventional wisdom held that Kamala needed a "moderate" swing state Democrat to help expand her path to 270 Electoral College votes. Shapiro's chances remained high even after he faced serious allegations by a fellow Democrat of covering up harassment in his office. The sexual harassment cover-up didn't take Shapiro out of contention, and neither did another cover-up — this one involving murder.

Stress on the body caused by racism may cut African American women’s lives short, according to a recent study by neuroscientists at Harvard and Emory universities. Their research, published in the journal JAMA Network Open in June, found a connection between “higher self-reported racial discrimination” and “DNA methylation age acceleration” among black women. “Racism steals time from people’s lives – possibly because of the space it occupies in the mind,” lead researchers Negar Fani and Nathaniel Harnett wrote in an article this week at The Conversation. Fani is a professor at Emory and Harnett at Harvard, both in the areas of psychiatry and neuroscience.
