In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Whenever the possibility presents, throw sand into the machinery…

Strange Questions About the Trump Assassination Attempt (9:50)
Paul Joseph Watson
14 Jul 2024
Another excellent compilation of different stuff:
That clip of the lunatic bloodthirsty demonic young girl, so angry that the shooter missed, needs to go extremely viral and she needs to become a household name.
TGP has a Laura Loomer find, the shooter appears to be in a Blackrock ad from 2023.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/what-trump-shooter-was-featured-blackrock-ad-2023/
Kid was a registered Republican that donated to Act Blue.
I suspect his family is R and he got radicalized. I’d be looking into the teachers. We have got to come to grips with the perversion of our education system.
Or he registered R so he could vote in primaries.
Good call, definite possibility.
Pennsylvania has a closed primary!
Or to be a snake in the grass.
probably more like it
I read both parents of shooter are “counselors”. Just a hunch, but I’m leaning towards parents being democrats.
Interesting. I was basing my supposition on his shirt with an American flag and that the rifle was his father’s.
Reportedly his parents both “councelors”,…sounds like they vote D, to me!
I don’t have X account but this TGP article shows Luke Rosiak’s tweet from today about shooters parents.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/failed-trump-assassin-was-registered-republican-donated-democrat/
His parents are both some sort of “counselors” with one being in the mental health field. They both sound like lefties to me
She needs to be taken to a mental hospital before she flips sh*t and tries something similar to yesterday!
Karen?
If ever there was “that moment” in history yesterday was it. President Trump rising like a Phoenix after being shot, raising his fist and telling us to fight on.
“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”

@ScottAdamsSays
Trump gets shot. Still gets the photo of the ages. Intentionally.
Unstoppable.
https://x.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1812267442540089518
There was a photo of the President on the ground, with one hand raised or curled almost in prayer.
Think about what HE must have been thinking — and of how much courage it took for him to rise up with such defiance — not knowing if the shooter was still active, not knowing if he might actually die within the next five to ten seconds. I believe he made a conscious choice to take that risk and urge us to fight on.
“Remarkable” doesn’t even come close to describing this man.
That raised fist was a General George Washington moment! Few events in the history of America will ever rival it.
How does a man in such a state of shock react with such cognizance of the moment? It was inspirational to the hilt
because he wasn’t thinking of himself. He was thinking of us as our hearts sank in sorrow as the events unfolded, and it was also a recognition
of the enemy we face.
I’m firmly convince that if the assassin’s bullets had found their mark, Trump, in his last dying seconds would have still mustered the
the presence of mind to raise that fist.
The Left has, from the beginning, hated that gesture and propagandized that it symbolized the inherent violence of the MAGA movement. But now we all know the real reason they hated the gesture, because it is a recognition of the evil forces the United States faces, and who the evil protagonists are.
And, importantly, it is, and was a sign of Trump’s determination to fight it.
God bless this great man. He is indeed DONALD THE GREAT!
Melania makes a statement.
https://deadline.com/2024/07/melania-trump-assassination-attempt-statement-1236009804/
In part:
“She wrote that “a monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to ring out Donald’s passion — his laughter, ingenuity, love of music and inspiration. The core facts of my husband’s life — his human side — were buried below the political machine. Donald, the generous and caring man who I have been through the best of times and the worst of times.””
It’s one of the classiest things you’ll read about this.
A classy lady is only capable of being classy… and Melania has more class in her pinky than every Lefty put together.
Absolutely! This part is beautifully stated.
President Trump also made a statement this morning on Truth Social.
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness. Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed. In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win. I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin.
May God continue to bless this family and keep them safe!
Love our First Lady. Beautiful inside and outside!! Forever gracious, forever kind ❤
Wonder if the USSS is deleting text messages as we sit here. Wonder if they are all accidently inputting the “wrong” passwords too many times and sending all their devices into destruction mode. I bet the cover-up is in full swing.
Putting my chips on yes.
Paul Pelosi was almost murdered, not assassinated.
We still haven’t heard an explanation of the Pelosi security failure.
If Nancy doesn’t care how it happened, why should we?
Exactly! Why is that the former SoH, who is worth $100+ Million from insider trading, and lives in downtown San Francisco didn’t have a security system in place? That entire story was sketchy beyond belief, just like his DUI. That story also disappeared from the news cycle almost overnight. They are not good people.
Equating these two stories just shows the level of their ignorance.
yea, by some naked guy. We still ain’t heard the truth on that one.
I see no relevance of this.
The only difference between the Pedosi’s and PeJoes is by degree and detail.
When Nancy Pelosi’s Brother Was Indicted For Rape …
Nigel is coming this week except we are a Republic.
Nigel Farage- I will fly out to America this week to support my friend Donald Trump at the RNC.
We all have a duty to support and defend democracy.

Yes!!!!!! Repeat as OFTEN as necessary until we have succeeded in educating those who have bought the democracy narrative/lie!!!!!!!
Let’s also repeat nonstop that they are Democrats with Democrat policies. They are not Democratic politicians or Democratic policies.
Agreed!!
A HUGE YES to this. Irks me no end that nearly every media outlet and govt. official/politician calls this party of evil misfits-Democratic party. Ugh.
American Heritage Dictionary Online:
“Democracy: 1. Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives.”
Democracy – “Democracy is Two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner” ~ Benjamin Franklin
“The quote “Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner” is a metaphorical expression that highlights the potential dangers of majority rule. It suggests that in a democratic system, the majority (represented by the two wolves) may impose their will on the minority (represented by the sheep), potentially leading to the exploitation or oppression of the minority.”
I’ll just leave this here for your illumination.
https://www.shestokas.com/constitution-educational-series/why-the-united-states-was-designed-as-a-republic/
The meaning of a democracy is slowly being changed. I looked it up several months ago and google said a democracy was mob rule. Now I can’t find that anymore.
BUY BOOKS – TACTILE ITEMS that ” CAPTURES a MOMENT In TIME ”
SAVE Videos, Texts and Articles off the web onto NAS Systems that are isolated – NOT ” the Cloud ”
The MOVE to DIGITAL MEDIA was ON PURPOSE To ENABLE – UPDATES
I do believe that WE are in the majority, so in a TRUE Democracy we would be in control. We are anything but a Democracy, much less a Republic.
Nigel has had a few brushes with attempted assassinations himself. https://www.politico.eu/article/nigel-farage-victim-assassination-plot-daily-mail-interview. Also was in a plane crash in 2010.
Thank you Nigel!
Where is all the GOP house of representatives and senators? I haven’t hear one yet!
Hawley put out a good statement.
The whole Democracy/Republic wank is a fraudulent void in the wind.
Read the Federalist Papers. That explication of fundamental principles and reasons steadfastly builds upon an assumption that a polity – democratic or the Republic they designed – must be constituted by citizens who are educated and share a binding value system.
Any form of government can be corrupted. There is no immutable principle of gov’t that guarantees anything by the shere presence of structure. History has demonstrated that repeatedly.
Sorry but America was founded as a Constitutional Representative Republic and for good reason.
So much time has now elapsed since the attempt on our President’s life, and after seeing the YouTube video posted by our dear friend in Israel David, coupled with the videos posted by our gracious host here, that I no longer think Thomas Crooks acted alone.
I’m sorry, I’m not trying to stir up emotions, it’s kind of like seeing a movie for the umpteenth time and knowing the outcome before the credits roll.
I’m not a wing nut
I think most people here agree with your sentiment. It was not a “he” that did it, but rather a “they” did it.
It has also been reported that he had explosives and explosive devices in his car. FOX reports “he had bomb making materials in his car and in his house”. The gun he used was his father’s.
Why weren’t there SS Agents on every single rooftop surrounding that event?
That entire grass area
and buildingS
should have have been blocked off
and secured with security personnel.
Period!
In the George Stepen whatever interview the presnocchio (hat tip to Theo Von) emphatically told G to look at the crowds and energy at his events!!! Even for old George that was too much and he cut Shatbrains off at the knees by saying I don’t think I would go there.
The rally’s and big crowds have to really be a giant fu to the left. Maybe this was a driver for the assassin.
Was this the first rally since that interview?
FJB couldn’t even fill up a high school gym that holds 600 people the other day in PA. President Trump had approximately 12-15,000 at his rally in PA!
Two narratives being proposed on the TV news shows today:
GUN CONTROL. Hoping that the “Deplorables” now see that guns are evil and will come to agree with that line of control by the government.
OUTDOO RALLYS. Too difficult to secure, therefore should be banned, limited to indoor and smaller venues so that the differences cannot be seen between the Trump supporters and the measly showing for Biden .
Am I off base in believing that yesterday’s events give release of the withheld JFK assassination records a whole new sense of urgency?
Not at all. President Trump had promised to release all of the JFK files. After he reviewed them he said the public wouldn’t want to know the truth. Right or Wrong, he knows exactly who took out JFK and it’s obviously not who they have been saying for 60 years.
He has since said that he will complete the disclosure during his next term. I think he wishes he had last time.
I’ve thought exactly the same thing. I’ll bet releasing the JFK records is one of the first actions Trump 47 will take when he assumes office.
This assassination attempt was allowed to happen, and I am not afraid to say so. Save your “mistakes were made” bullshit for someone else. A man with a rifle climbed a building 500
feet from the man who actually won the 2020 election. This was the inevitable next step for the deep state actors who are determined to save their phoney baloney jobs and sinecures.
I invite my fellow Catholics, and others, to pray the rosary every day at 6:00 p.m. Pray for the soul of those killed and wounded in the attempt by the US Government to kill President Trump. Pray the rosary for President Trump. Pray the rosary for the nation. Pray the rosary for the soul of the would-be assassin. Pray for President Biden and that his family will end the abuse of a man who clearly had dementia since at least 2020.
Agreed, as I just posted below. The SS would never, ever, leave an elevated shooting position 140 yards away from the podium unguarded. Under normal circumstances that is.
If it wasn’t deliberate, it was grossly, criminally negligent.
You sign on to that job, you sign on to do it right.
No benefit of the doubt given here.
They operated under orders, as did all enforcers on duty yesterday. Sometimes those orders conflict with what we believe is right. I think understanding that nuance is key dealing with enforcers in this increasingly adversarial environment.
Don’t expect enforcers to do what is ‘right’. If needing a reminder, remember Justine Diamond.
LIHOP: Let It Happen On Purpose
On a rooftop, you don’t even need to demagnitize a door.
This witch has been spewing vitriol about President Trump for 8 years. How dare she tell President Trump what he should’ve/should say after immediately getting shot by a deranged leftist and accomplices. Now it’s coming out that the guy had explosives in his car. He posted a video hours before he made those fatal shots saying, “you got the wrong guy”.
“CBS Anchor Margaret Brennan Complains Trump Didn’t Call for ‘Lowering the Temperature’ Immediately After he Was Shot”
Excerpts:
Classless CBS anchor Margaret Brennan complained that former President Donald Trump didn’t call for “lowering the temperature” or tell supporters not to retaliate less than three hours after he was shot.
Trump had just survived an assassination attempt where one of his supporters was killed, and two others were left with critical injuries in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“But,” the pundit continued, “I did notice there was no call for lowering the temperature, condemning all political violence, and really trying to signal to his supporters as well, not to retaliate or to have any kind of escalation here. I just am looking at this.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/cbs-anchor-margaret-brennan-complains-trump-didnt-call/
Why would they be afraid his followers would retaliate.. Retaliate for what
if as they says it was some lone gunman..Why are they worried?
Retaliate against a dead guy.
Maybe they are worried that someone will investigate the media who covered for the corrupt and senile man in the White House.
They are afraid of retaliation because that is exactly what they would do. If this were to happen to a Democrat Presidential nominee, hundreds of cities would have been on fire last night.
It’s always pure projection with these people.
Not worried. Disappointed.
Collectivism vs individuality for one.
They are so sure that we are what they prejudiciously present us to be in order to falsely reaffirm they are the good guys.
Pls see Ausonious very insightful post up thread. The communists call for compromise from Patriots. But how are we to compromise with their insanity? To do so validates their many delusions.

I read it and he is spot on correct!
I’m glad he didn’t use a stupid media talking point slogan. He doesn’t work for them.
Republicans are not violent, Democrats are. He just got shot and she expects him to give a speech. She is an evil biotch
Margaret is the kidult her mother raised.
Put her in a safe-space with a bottle.
She can cry herself to sleepy Joe.
its time we took the political temperature up
we should not even be conversing with anyone who supports Biden
and the other leftist democrats and, yes, republicans if they fit the definition.
Its time to shun them
that said; it is never the republicans who murder their political opponents
Yes, after the assassination attempt yesterday, which ironically occurred a mere hour or so after I received the second U.S. flag I intended to display, adding to the one which flies 24/7, I looked for and found some 3×5 ‘Trump 2024’ flags and will order a couple of those to fly prominently on the property.
Adding to that I’ll be doing some patriot aural warfare when the Communists bring their beach buggies to town in a couple weeks to suss out exactly who are patriot’s enemies both locally and regionally.
I have a pretty good idea but some solid ‘Trump’, especially after the assassination attempt and murder of a patriot, should bring them to me in a way I’ve trained for. In any event, it’s time for the old gray man to wake up from his slumber and do more than collect Communist trash along the road. 👍
BLESS YOU DUNES from another ” old gray man “.
WE Are Inundated in this area with ” Communists ” buying produce and going to the Lake Houses –
TIME FOR ” IN YOUR FACE ” alongside the Roads !
( besides picking up THEIR TRASH alongside the road “
This old gray lady wishes you Godspeed as you fly those flags high! Wish I could join you.
She’s in the same category as that millennial screaming in her car, “You missed!” Things didn’t go as planned, Margaret. The President is very much alive, his supporters won’t riot or retaliate, and martial law will just have to wait.
Brennan continues to promote the despicable, fallacious narrative of Trump the Violent.
It all began in earnest when Deep State began to undermine Donald Trump after witnessing nearly 4 yrs. of his overwhelmingly successful presidency that was notably characterized by peaceful, joyous family-styled political rallies.
Deep State’s initiative involved staging violent encounters between purportedly pro-Trump
militant groups and anti-Trump militant groups, the former being entirely unknown to most dialed-in Trump supporters. It was also not
coincidental that these phony, militant pro-Trump groups were usually branded as the initiators or aggressors in these staged conflicts or scuffles.
But we now know, however, through the marvelous gift of hindsight, that these militant groups were likely clandestine, color revolutionary, crisis- acting, CIA affiliates. Thus the deliberate launching of these clandestine groups formed the crucial, malicious predicate for the subsequently false interpretation of the J6 events as nothing more than the culmination of an inherently violent political movement.
AND HERE WE SEE MARGARET BRENNAN CONTINUING TO PRESERVE this false narrative for one reason only: it helps Joe Biden and his corrupt Democrat Party.
Someone should ask her when Trump or his supporters have been violent. We know she will try the J6 excuse for sure. Then ask her when Trump supporters have been violent at rallies? Or in the streets of cities destroying things? Or against the police? She will auto pilot back to J6 as she’s programmed to. It’s The set up non insurrection and riot that the Dems provided for their cover to certify an illegal, fraudulent election that the left stole from the people.
Other than that fake excuse, she-they-have nothing to tie violence to MAGA supporters or even republicans as instigators.

Good morning fellow Treepers. Today is a bad day for America. I have a bad feeling in my stomach that the counter-snipers has this attempted assassin in their sights for a few minutes and the Secret Service Supervisors denied the shot. There are bad things afoot right now. Sorry I am so bleak right now. Take care.
Bleak! Are you crazy?
God granted PDJT and humanity a miracle yesterday. A reprieve. An extension of time to do what is right.
Pray for those lost, and REJOICE in His grace for those spared. Donald John Trump was spared yesterday.
You witnessed a miracle yesterday. That is not bleak.
Amen!
To me the miracle of sparing the life of PDJT means that God still may think we are worth saving, that this country is worth saving? What was bleak for me was the thought that man had gone too far into evil and satanism for God to intervene in some way. Hope was restored yesterday~!
I have had that question in my mind as well, about whether we, as a country are worth saving. A few hours later the Holy Spirit said to me that no one is worth saving. I thought about Titus3:4-5. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. If He saves our country it will be because He is merciful!
Biden’s handlers just deleted his bullseye post from X…wonder why? Admission of guilt?
Many on the left are now scrambling to take down and hide their incitements to violence.
The Internet, and God, never forgets.
Didn’t they also have to cancel a bunch of TV ads? Can only imagine how subversive those must have been.
A stupid girl.
Highly recommend this interview with Nicholas “The Reaper” Irving.
There is always an emergency contingency plan set up in advance for these situations. They should know before the event where more advanced trauma care is available, and have planned out the fastest path to get there. That’s in addition to on-site trauma resources set up in advance.
Even when the FBI attacked Trump’s home, they had such a plan for when they intended deadly force.
Except at this event, apparently. Institutional incompetence from top to bottom here. And maybe worse.
My righteous anger is off the charts today. But I rejoice at the miracle God granted, and pray for those sacrificed.
Oldersoul, your last two sentences sum up my swirl of emotions today. Try as I might, I cannot get my mind on anything else. In all my years, I have never thought to myself that I had witnessed a miracle as it happened. This miracle is compounded by the fact that millions can witness it by replay, over and over. Blessed be God. And blessed be the fallen and their families and loved ones.
I had an Aggie prof who had a saying…”if you don’t know where you are going, you will get there fast”.
I know there used to be an assigned hospital for where a POTUS will go in the event of illness and or injury. The emergency plan was well thought out and highly detailed. It also involved other agencies…and responders and planned routes. It was also cleared by the SS. Months in advance. I had a friend who was a very high ranking executive for a hospital and had to plan for that eventuality for Clinton I think..been so long I forget….. So I ask whiskey tango foxtrot….?
Thank you for outlining some of what we normally don’t see. Effecting that is a full time job.
You ask a good question. My posit would be PDJT expands his private security, they take the lead and revamp protocols. He’s a billionaire and can afford this short time hike in security costs. Mission success is Job #1. Adapt and overcome.
I lived my life by a similar mantra.
You either need a plan, or you need to be lucky.
And usually with the first, the second follows.
YOU ARE ALL FIRED!
Everything Woke Turns to
Sh!tShillKillFake Security DEI Again
Truth!
I think that specific woman SS is getting treated unfairly. I know nothing about this but she looked like her assignment was literally to be Trump’s “bodyguard.” She was being his bulletproof vest with her hug. A good job for the short one. Plus, she did stop to pick up Trump’s MAGA cap, which makes her kind of a hero to my mind.
Please. Your comment is atrocious. She was too short to shield his face. Get a grip. Go to another site.
What part of my comment was atrocious? I am willing to engage in discussion about this.
Also, piss off. You have no right to moderate this forum based upon half-baked understanding due to your lack of reading comprehension.
Go troll elsewhere.
sticking up for the unqualified DEI hire
She might be DEI hire but she was doing the best she could. I felt her compassion and urgency. She seemed to be trying desperately to work with the body God gave her. I don’t feel that way about the other women. They were all over the place and doing nothing. IMO, Unfair to call fleemit a troll. JMHO
I have already answered.
They are supposed to be tall enough to shield his head, not his knees.
you are wrong
and, because she is too short
she could not fully shield him
the shooter wasn’t aiming for his
legs
Agreed. She was completely unqualified and unsuitable for that assignment.
As much as the photos taken will be shown for centuries as portraits of his courage, they should have kept him down and whisked him out that kill zone, immediately.
Not stood him back up for another one.
Okay. Doesn’t make sense to me. It’s big time conflating to start talking about how things should have been run when talking about her actions as if she was to blame for everything. She’s literally hugging him as he’s being shot at and my point was that she was probably assigned to do exactly that and did her job.
.
She was trying to push/escort him off the stage and didn’t have the strength to do it versus a 78-year-old man who was just shot.
.
I agree….There was a time when flight attendants, ie stewardesses, had a height requirement…just saying…although the standing him up…I suspect that was Trump being an uncopperative ‘primary’?…by his own instinct….
He had to SHOW the WORLD he was still standing, so to speak.
Two or three typical USSS agents as close body men would have kept him down, and moved him away.
Trust me. Trump’s a big strong guy even in his late 70s. But they would have muscled him down and away.
Go watch how they handled Reagan for comparison.
This was disgusting to watch. They assigned midgets to him for the job required.
Indeed. Thank you!
You need help. You have serious problems delineating the cause from the reality. I started this by saying that someone did a good job based upon their own situation and you only want to condemn everyone based upon original cause. You’ve reached the seemingly inevitable conclusion that all things which come from a corrupt hierarchy are corrupt themselves. I’ve heard this kind of logic before. In fact, I’m quite sure we are all evil because someone somewhere can always prove we originated from some sort of sin.
This was too slow and uncoordinated. Anyone can see it. And I really hate trolls.
I’m with fleemit, and I ain’t leaving.
she’s standing in front of a man who was under sniper attack. That’s bravery.
I don’t care how brave she was. She was completely physically unqualified for that job.
I’ve spent many years around these situations, and know some retired agents who guarded past Presidents in the 70s.
They pick the biggest and most focused ones to be nearest the protectee. In 2016-20, PDJT’s body men were routinely bigger than he was. And he’s a big guy if you’ve ever been near him.
That girl should never have been there. And I say “girl”, based on how she later behaved at the motorcade.
They were all just horrible.
TY, Oldersoul. I am not even that much of an expert. Their actions were abhorrent. And I HAVE been near President Trump, and this was absolute nonsense.
The last time I was near PDJT in 2016, close enough to shake his hand, he was surrounded by a phalanx of agents, at least two of which were large enough and fit enough to play as professional football linebackers. Bigger and taller than he was.
Even their facial expressions were frightening, and supremely comforting, at that time.
And then I saw what our Government handed him yesterday … in an open outdoor field of 50,000 people …
The farm team.
Here is a kink. Was she assigned for that duty or did she jump in when the actual assigned was a no-show? President Trump was solo, went down behind podium and waiting for SS to arrive on stage. Nobody near him. Not in audience behind him even. Where were the assigned, appropriately sized stage protectors? Did they go AWOL?
There is a pic of a woman agent behind podium with President Trump, crouched and described as cowering (to push incompetence, steering away from inside “job”). Is she cowering in fear or is she communicating status for order?
She is too short!!!!!
.
Taking a bullet for her charge is job requirement.
.
I know that.
1,000 downvotes. She was not tall enough to protect PDJT’s head. LOOK AT THAT CLEAR SHOT TO HIS HEAD SHE GAVE A SHOOTER.
The SS agents need to be at least as tall as the person they are assigned to protect.
If needed she couldn’t help carry him.
Downvote for what? This is just some sort of ideological trip you guys are on. She seemingly behaved with honor and bravery and saved that MAGA hat. I never said she was the best person for the job or raised the question of whether she should have been the one there. I only said she WAS the one there and seems like she lived up to doing the best she could. “1,000 downvotes:” keep the hate coming like anyone cares.
“Yay! She answered all of the debate questions!! Good Girl!!!” So brave!!
the best she could wasn’t good enough
get it yet?
She tripped down the stairs. My.
They train for this. One goes down to protect his fall, they sweep his legs and cover him. Any woman with self defense training knows how to use her body to sweep a man’s legs. Even if it injures him, the mission is to protect his life from a bullet that’s coming after the one already there. Whatever it takes.
Perhaps I overestimate USSS training. If they’re not up to the task, I’ve seen PDJT’s personal bodymen; they can take him down no problem and get him out of there.
That’s right. You hurt him to save him if you have to. You get him down, and move him to safety.
They stood him back up, in place, exposed to another head shot! Just inches from the first hit! Insane.
If there had been a second sniper present with extended opportunity, we might be having a much sadder conversation today.
I’m not an agent. But this is what they are trained to do.
There are obvious physical requirements. That was completely abandoned yesterday with who was assigned.
Yes, when I first saw that picture posted here yesterday, I was WTF, his head! I presumed he was wearing body armor, and he was surrounded by USSS, so what was the only thing left open? The thing already targeted by the sniper, his head!
Nuts!
BINGO!
This is EXACTLY women DO NOT belong any near combat. You go down wounded and no way can they even drag you to safety.
Any job that requires heavy upper body strength should be restricted to men. Period.
Got a complaint ladies? Tell it to the Creator.
You realize that when she bent down to pick up the hat, Trump was then fully exposed amidst the chaos and uncertainty, right?
All while being unable to holster her weapon. Something that should be muscle memory.
Was she assigned or jumped in when realized stage SS awol? President Trump was on his own. Had to wait for protection from off stage. What if not trained for that job but stepped up?
Okay, that made me laugh.
Not only that, but he reached over the back seat in the armored car, grabbed the steering wheel away from the SS agent, and drove them all to safety.

Ashley Judd: “All political violence of all kinds in all settings against all people is wrong. I would never want Mr Trump hurt. He is a human with a family.”
John Rich: “They couldn’t beat him in a fair contest, so they tried to k*ll him. BUT THEY MISSED.”
Scotty McCreery: “Praying for our country rn.”
Josh Turner: “Thank God President Trump is okay. Thoughts and prayers go up for him and for the family of the attendee whose life was taken at today’s rally.”
Lil Pump: “We spinnin for Trump. Glad ur ok… this is my F*CKING PRESIDENT.” https://x.com/collinrugg/status/1812459558956384404?s=46

Ashley Judd:
“I am a nasty woman,” she read, “but not as nasty as a man who looks like he bathes in Cheeto dust, a man whose words are a dis to America, Electoral College-sanctioned hate speech…I didn’t know devils could be resurrected, but I feel Hitler in these streets, a moustache traded for a toupee, Nazis renamed.”

The supporter who was killed yesterday was a retired Pennsylvania fire chief.
Tremendously tragic.
RIP
So terribly sad.

DEI at work. Don’t get the best and brightest but hit some dumba_ss quota.
Women must come to grips with the fact that they are not capable of certain jobs.Pushing women to be a body guard is setting them up for failure.
Now if it is being strictly a sharp shooter “Sniper”, women are generally better shots than men.
Men and Women are made to compliment each other so lets use that to our advantage. Let’s just leave the physical jobs to men and the accuracy, detail jobs for women.
Men need to come to that realization that they aren’t suitable for some jobs also. It works both ways and is necessary. Those women yesterday were brave, but not in the correct places for their physical appearance abilities. It’s as simple as that.
.
I must be the grammar police:
The word is ‘complement’.
Meaning a symbiotic relationship to COMPLETE each other, not to say niceties to each other . . .
No malice intended.
Happy to oblige……..
If you’ve met one DEI apparatchik, you’ve met them all.
“As I began posting more frequently, I saw a curious trend develop:
“Nearly all my detractors were young, single, white, self-described Democrat women passionate about cats and dogs. Many supported BLM, transgender activism, and other Left-wing causes.
“All of them hated Donald Trump and equated him with pure evil. They also appeared to be largely unemployed, with considerable free time.”

This confuses me. I would think SS would be a natural fit for military or police officer type professions to transition to, not civilian CEO’s in food production.
Well that only works for merit based hires, not checking some box hires. The best qualified no longer get the job. Genitals and skin color are the criteria now.
I’m so fcuking sick and tired of this DEI bullsh!t corrupting occupations that are intrusted of protecting other peoples lives. Pilots, doctors, firefighters, police…and yes…Secret Service agents. ENOUGH!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

She joined the Secret Service before she went to work for Pepsi. “ In 2017 and 2018, she served as deputy assistant director. “
Then she went to Pepsi, and came back, evidently.
“From 2019 to 2022, Cheatle served as senior director of global security at PepsiCo, where she was responsible for directing and implementing security protocols for the company’s facilities in North America. Her role involves developing risk management assessment and risk mitigation”
Biden gave her an award in 2021.
This is Wikipedia’s timeline, so it may be off, but that does seem like an odd career path.
Volodymyr Zelensky has wished Donald Trump a “speedy recovery” after the former US president was shot in the ear in an assassination attempt on Saturday, 13 July, at a rally in Pennsylvania.
The Ukrainian president described the incident as a “heinous crime” and said it showed “how serious the global challenges to democracy are right now.”
https://www.yahoo.com/news/zelensky-sends-message-trump-assassination-140122330.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall
Pence went there too.
PS: Send more $$$$
Maybe this served as a warning not to get any ideas about making any unapproved peace deals with Trump.
I am quite saddened by yesterday’s attempted assassination of President Trump. How the Secret Service let an elevated shooting position 140 yards away remain unguarded is professional malpractice of the highest level. Or, perhaps, it was intentional as it is difficult to believe an agency tasked with one job – protect their protectee – could miss that.
I figureed we would end up here this year at some point, as the rhetoric coming from the DemoRats has gotten worse and worse. Thank God that President Trump survived this attempt. I hope they put him in a Popemobile from here on out so no other wind-up toys can take another shot at him.
Last, if there are not massive resignations from the Director of the Secret Service to the advance team of agents to the lead agent on the ground then we know the SS was in on it from the beginning. No US President or former President has been shot since Reagan in Marcy 1981 so the level of failure here cannot be overstated.
Imagine driving a SUV to Butler, PA, parking, getting out of the vehicle with a rifle, just strolling around to see if there’s a spot, a rooftop that is unprotected.
A rooftop with ladder access no less.

This is the completely innocent man, husband, and father that this evil Cabal, its wicked, lying propaganda machine, and a member of its violently radicalized base, slaughtered yesterday.
Corey Comperatore.
Pray for his soul and for his family. All he did was support PDJT and restoring America by being there for us.
Um, the guy on the roof seemed to have long hair.
This is the victim, not the assassin.
TY. Just realized.
According to his family he was a believer in Jesus Christ. His soul is good. He is with Jesus today.
Amen to that !
I was so relieved when I read that. It also makes perfect sense that he would be a supporter of freedom in America.
When PDJT has his next rally and I hope it’s soon, SAY HIS NAME.
Rest in peace, patriot.
So sad.
JUST IN: The man who was k*lled at Trump’s Pennsylvania rally has been identified as former fire chief for Buffalo Township, Corey Comperatore.
Rest in peace.
Comperatore’s last act on this planet was shielding his daughter from the bullets.
“The PA Trump Rally claimed the life of my brother, Corey Comperatore. The hatred for one man took the life of the one man we loved the most.”
“He was a hero that shielded his daughters. His wife and girls just lived through the unthinkable and unimaginable,” his sister said on FB.
“My baby brother just turned 50 and had so much life left to experience. Hatred has no limits and love has no bounds. Pray for my sister-in-law, nieces, my mother, sister, me and his nieces and nephews as this feels like a terrible nightmare but we know it is our painful reality.”

If I know Donald Trump he will see to it that the other victims and their families are well cared for.
The timing of the assassination attempt shows how desperate President Trump’s enemies are. After the Supreme Court’s immunity decision to protect President Trump and before President Trump’s closing his V.P., his enemies are now down to just a few other despicable options to overcome him and his allies (Options like declaring Marshall law, starting a pandemic, beginning another war, etc.). Obviously, his enemies can’t trust their lawfare and election fraud schemes to succed his election.
I read that the theory is that before the SCOTUS immunity ruling they were hoping a “lone court0om’ would take PT out. Now after the ruling it’s changed to a “lone gunman”.
They have no conscience so they’ll never have to feel remorse.
“We have to go through another year and a half, they’ve weaponized our justice system at a level nobody has ever seen before.”

“There is no event, therefore, however atrocious which may not be expected.”
–Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Smith, 1798
The crazed assassin who shot Donald Trump gave money to ActBlue on the day of Biden’s inauguration, which is a Political Action Committee that supports left wing Democrats.
There should be no private, sacrosanct information re perpetrator CROOKS that the general public should not have at this point, and no less so in an age when electronic communications can transmit millions of individual files to millions of people individually.
In short, the determination of CROOK’S political motivations should be made decidedly by the general public, not by public officials with a whopping vested interest in the nature and contents of such disclosures.
Without such transparency, the Fourth Estate becomes active accomplices in defrauding the American People.
Note that Donald Trump was recently tried in the New York Supreme Court under the false assumption that the general public had a right to know if Trump had an affair or not with Stormy Daniels. Well, if true, (AND I CERTAINLY DON’T BELIEVE THAT NON-CRIMES MUST BE REPORTED TO ANYBODY) then at least the general public certainly has a right to make its own judgment about who may have had knowledge of this attempt to assassinate a former president and the actual de facto presidential nominee of the Republican Party.
I agree with Musk and others who are calling for what should have happened already.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk
The head of the Secret Service and the leader of this security detail should resign

Or be put in cuffs.
Or H20 boarded.
Rest assured friends our individual, and collective prayers along with Stillwater’s daily prayer thread have been heard. We must continue to build that impenetrable spiritual wall with our prayers. He took a bullet for us, thank you, thank you, from my core. May God walk beside and protect him from evil.
My condolences to the family of the man that was killed while sitting behind our president.
God Bless !
He made some excellent remarks
If the SS had done their job Corey Comperatore would be alive and two other people would not be in critical condition.
First Lady Melania Trump put out a beautiful message today.
She is an exceptional person, just like her husband.
“Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness,”
-statement by President Trump
Many years ago I read an essay about what one thing the Lord kept telling people most often not to do all through the Old and New Testaments.
What was it? “Fear not.”
Of course, that doesn’t give us a free pass on the Ten Commandments or the Seven Deadly Sins, but the Lord saw the paralysis of fear would our greatest spiritual problem.
Aristotle said something similar in his Ethics – the most important virtue was courage, because without it, one could not exercise any other virtue.
Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer
Wow this is so tragic.
This was the last X post made by Corey Comperatore, the innocent Trump supporter who was shot and killed at the Trump rally yesterday.
He replied to @catturd2 and said he was at the Trump rally in Butler, PA!

Just another democrat making yet another traitorous statement. Why aren’t our laws being enforced? (A rhetorical question, yet still a valid one.)
LOCK HIM UP for inciting murder of a US President!
Guffaw!!! According to a new foia release, Biden’s personal lawyer raised the SAME Presidential Records Act argument that Biden’s DOJ argues does not work for Trump! Citing to the same Clinton sock drawer case!!!
Has that entire Secret Service detail resigned or been fired yet? Their job was to protect the President. Their job was to be willing to sacrifice their lives in order to save the life of the President.
I include in that mission statement being willing to lose your job for warning the President’s team upon arrival that your assessment is that there is NOT ENOUGH protection at the event.
How could any of those SS agents allow PDJT into that event KNOWING that there was not enough coverage and protection to keep the President alive? Anyone of them could have told the Trump Team that there are too many vulnerabilities and you do not recommend that PDJT exit the vehicle. Too bad if management doesn’t like it.
You may have lost your job but at least, you did your job. Do not BS me and tell me that you would take a bullet for PDJT and lose your life but you would not risk losing your job and pension.
That train wreck masquerading yesterday as a protective detail needs an IG investigation. I suspect it reaches high level.
I don’t know Bongino, and I am not part of the Service. But I know old timers are furious today at that circus act yesterday.
It really is a miracle that PDJT is still with us today.
If the counter snipers could kill the assassin, they could see him. So they only saw him after he shot but not before?
The bigger question is why didn’t perimeter security include the rooftop of the the building that presented the best line of sight for an assassin to shoot the president.
Actually, there should have been a good guy up there. Not an empty vantage point.
They even left the assassin a ladder to use.
I’m surprised they didn’t leave lunch and rifle rest up there for him. It was that badly handled.
And PDJT I believe had been at that venue previously. No excuses.
From an article on NBC news
I guess taking Trump SS protection is now OFF the table.
A bipartisan group of House lawmakers quickly introduced a measure to enhance Secret Service protection for Trump and Biden, as well as grant it to independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who has accused Biden of denying him official protection for political reasons. (The White House denied that, noting the Department of Homeland Security along with congressional leaders are responsible for such decisions.)
I really doubt that ANY Biden SS service is appreciated at this time.
Just a reminder that this is the guy who manically promoted the fake dossier without knowing anything about Steele’s non-existent sources (or perhaps despite knowing about Steele’s non-existent sources).
Why do all Democrats pretend not to know that “January 6” was a Reichstag Fire event organized and staged by government agents?
The FBI was specifically asked if they did this by Congress, and their answer was not “Hell no!” It was “We cannot comment on that”.
We need to find out, if the counter snipers needed to first ask and receive permission to fire on the shooter. He was in their sights. When they did fire, they did not change aim, and we know that from the video of them. Did the rules only permit them to fire, when they saw the muzzle flash of the shooter firing?
Congressional investigators should sit in on the interviews of all the public employees, who were present at the scene.
No, I don’t believe they needed to ask for permission. However, that does not explain why they did not take this guy out as soon as they saw him. He was armed with a rifle. That is all they needed to know to kill him. That’s in their rule book. So, why didn’t they? Why on earth did they allow him to get off at least three shots before returning fire? Something is very wrong with this picture. These are the questions I’m eager to hear the answer to.
To hades with Congress. That’s just going to be another soundbite circus. Followed by tough letters.
There needs to be some IG intervention here, and some real consequences.
I understand the sentiment, but the public needs answers to these questions in a timely manner. The FBI will classify everything they learn as top secret, and an IG will take five years to write a redacted report. Only Congressional investigators have any incentive to share what they find with the public.
When I was a kid, there was a poster of a hawk swooping down onto a mouse, the mouse stood his ground while giving the hawk the middle finger. The caption read, “The last great act of defiance”. President Trump’s fist pump after being shot has brought the image of that poster to mind. Not so much the wording, just the image, for this was not President Trump’s last great act of defiance, there will be many many many more.
Thank the good Lord, our REAL president was not seriously hurt. How anyone could call this anything, but an assassination attempt boggles the mind. However, if you’re a die-hard lefty bent on the destruction of our Republic, it makes sense and also makes you nothing more than a traitor. We have laws covering traitorous actions. We need to start enforcing those laws.
Seriously. All but five democraps voted against a law making it illegal for non-US citizens to vote in federal elections! How could anyone not vote for this bill? Except, of course, traitors who hate our Republic and want to destroy it. The Republican party needs to stop playing the role of pansies and grow a pair. No more go along to get along BS. Stand up for what you believe in, and if you don’t believe in our Republic, get the *ell out of the way and let someone take your place that does!
The mainstream media is an embarrassment to itself and the country. These people have sold their souls and have no right to speak for those of us who love the USA. The job of the media is to question everything. To challenge the Government and to seek out the truth. It is not to support the far left, to support the destruction of our Republic. It is certainly not to lie about president dementia’s mental state. Shame on them. I hope they all go bankrupt very soon. God Bless America, God Bless President Trump, our REAL President.
I suggest that Sundance replace the pictures or our President Trump with the greatest of all time photo from the rally.
If assassin had been successful and no VP selected we would probably have Nikki Haley as our nominee. Let that sink in.
No, that would be wrong on so many levels. The better option would be to put Junior in his father’s place so no matter what they do, there is a Trump in the Whitehouse next year.
Sorry if this has been posted already, there is so much to go through today.
Reminder that the texts belonging to 2 dozen Secret Service officials/agents—including now director Kim Cheatle—before and on Jan 6 were deleted and never recovered.
You focus on all the SS snipers that had the shooter in their sights and the SS agent who shot him. When did they see him, who did they communicate with when they saw him, why didn’t he immediately take out the target? What’s the SS protocol for shooting the suspected gun man. The SS sniper isn’t your target per se. But he has a lot of answers that can the investigation down a critical path.
The SS snipers need to put out the statement, “I did not commit suicide”.
HAS ANYONE stated WHICH Department the Counter – Sniper Team IS ASSIGNED TO ?
Sheriff’s Dept. , PA State Police, or Secret Service…
IF i WAS THOSE GUYS – MAKE CERTIFIED AUDIO AFFIDAVITS

@mirandadevine
USSS director Kimberly Cheatle was hand-picked by Biden because she used to be on his VP detail.
Her tenure is notable for her abject failure to 1) protect the agents who were repeatedly savaged by the Biden dogs over several months; 2) discover who owned the cocaine in the White House.
https://x.com/mirandadevine/status/1812319844773081586
Didn’t they announce that they knew to whom the bag of cocaine belonged, they just wouldn’t say?
So he preferred her because she use to watch the old pervert swim naked………?
The msm and dnc need to stop the rhetoric towards Trump and his supporters. Also the unfair targeting of Trump supporters (J6, biased prosecutions, etc.) obviously creates hostility in the left’s base and some likely think they will save the world if they can kill Trump and enough of us.
A difficult concept for God-fearing humans is that human life, to Communists, is fungible. History has proven that many times. Whether it is dog-whistles from politicians, or MSM egging people on, or their covert training camps, or their indoctrination in the educational system, it all plays out the same way.
Accepting that is part of the process of facing the Communist scourge. Zealots understand only one language and, in general, we people of conscience are deign to speak it. However, sufficiently motivated, we shall. 🙂
