Donald Trump was golfing in West Palm Beach, Florida, when Ryan Wesley Routh waited along the green, hoping to assassinate the former president and record it. He left a GoPro and an AK-style rifle mounted with a scope on the scene. He was later apprehended by local police, but not before scurrying when Secret Service agents opened fire on him; they saw the barrel from his gun through the shrubbery. Ryan Wesley Routh has a criminal record that spans the Himalayas. We’re waiting to see if he was on the radar for any federal law enforcement agencies vis-à-vis recent threats:

The alleged would-be assassin arrested for targeting Donald Trump while he golfed in Florida may have been given inside information about the former president’s schedule, according to an ex-FBI official who called the possibility “scary.”
Chris Swecker, a retired FBI assistant director, told Newsweek that the feds and other law enforcement will be probing how the suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, allegedly appeared to know Trump would be at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Sunday.
“The biggest question to answer is: ‘How did the would-be assassin know to be at that location at that time?'” said Swecker, who worked on FBI criminal investigations.

Neighbors of the man accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump at his Florida golf club described him as 'a little cuckoo', and claim he left everyone on the street terrified.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, is in custody after he allegedly pointed an AK-47 at the former president as he played at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach on Sunday afternoon.

As last week’s debate made clear, Kamala Harris’s media enablers have given Harris the green light to lie in the most flagrant ways about the most significant of issues. Even if Donald Trump were adept at giving concise answers, which he is not, he would have had no chance to expose Harris’s mendacity.
In the long run, the most damaging of issues deal with the weaponization of justice. As vice presidential candidate, Sen. J. D. Vance is perfectly positioned to address this phenomenon. He is precise in his language; quick on his feet, and, with a “J.D.” (hmmm!) from Yale, inarguably well credentialed to take on the task

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a second attempt was made on President Trump’s life, just two months after he came within a centimeter of being killed in Butler, Pennsylvania by a Democrat donor named Thomas Crooks.
Shots were fired at the 45th president’s golf club in West Palm Beach on Sunday afternoon at roughly 1:30 pm as he was playing golf with real estate investor Steve Witkoff. The shooter, later identified as 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, shoved the muzzle of his rifle through the fence line at the golf course before Secret Service agents opened fire on him.

Sunday, during CNN’s coverage of a second attempted assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, former FBI counterterrorism agent Tim Clemente told host Erin Burnett that finger-pointing at Trump, including claims his “verbiage” about a “bloodbath” for the auto industry if his Democrat opponent wins misconstrued to bolster claims of violence if he didn’t win, was a likely motivation for the accused assassin.
“It’s unprecedented in a civilized society, and I think we’re becoming more and more uncivilized, sadly, with the political diatribes that are going on and the political new indictments of either candidate,” he said. “And sadly, the finger pointing at Trump has led to — you know —

The suspect who allegedly wanted to shoot Donald Trump has a rap sheet that includes a hours-long standoff and 'terrorist threats' and a social media post saying he can't wait until the former president is 'gone.'
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, is in custody after aiming an AK-47 rifle barrel towards Trump when he was golfing at his course in West Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday.
The would-be shooter was convicted more than two decades ago with possessing a weapon of mass destruction, according to a more than two-decades old News & Record report.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw told reporters Sunday evening that a gunman was able to gain access to former President Donald Trump’s golf course at Mar-a-Lago because he had less security as a former president.
Bradshaw revealed details of the assassination attempt — the second on Trump in the past three months — which was foiled by the Secret Service when they saw a rifle poking through the fence of the next hole Trump was to have played. (Video) Bradshaw said that had Trump been the sitting president, local police would have had the property surrounded:

t’s an assassination attempt. The FBI is on the case. The suspect fled in a black Nissan, later apprehended by local law enforcement. Former president Donald Trump was golfing at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach in Florida. Secret Service agents doing a security sweep a couple of holes ahead of the president saw a barrel of a gun poking through a piece of the fence and engaged the suspect. An AK-style rifle with a scope was found, along with a GoPro, were found at the scene. (X's)

Florida caught a lot of heat (rightly so) after the mess of an election in 2000 — pregnant chads, anyone? In the years since, the Sunshine State has cleaned up its act significantly. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) joined Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures" to discuss the measures Florida takes to shore up election integrity — and why confidence in election results is essential.(X Video) Here are the key points of their exchange:

A New York Times report was discovered on Sunday mentioning Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, who was caught targeting Trump, armed with a scoped AK-47 rifle in West Palm Beach before shots were fired by the Secret Service.
The New York Times was actually in contact with and interviewed Routh for their article.
In an oddly coincidental Truth Social post, just hours before the attempted shooting, Trump said, “THE FAILING NEW YORK TIMES IS A TRUE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!” (TRUTH)
The article from the Times ties the would-be shooter to nutbag MSNBC terrorism analyst Malcolm Nance, who once called for ISIS to bomb the Trump Tower in Istanbul.

The son of Ryan Wesley Routh, the man named as the suspect in a possible assassination attempt near Donald Trump's Florida golf club on Sunday, has said his father is not a violent person and did not even believe him to own a gun.
Wesley's son, Oran Routh, reached by DailyMail.com shortly after Sunday's shooting, said this was the first he'd heard of the alleged assassination attempt.
'This was the first I heard about it,' the 35-year-old exclusively told DailyMail.com. 'Was my father shot or injured?'
