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…

Shots were fired at Trump at 6:11
Ephesians 6:11
“Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
Wow… that’s a good comparison, thank God for the wind & Trump for moving around!
The Holy Spirit, breathing lightly….
Apparently this just came out.
According to new reports, a police officer encountered the shooter on the roof but let him go after he pointed the gun at him and before he shot Trump, the officer then headed down the ladder.
Wth? Did the cop just then go on his merry way and not tell anyone? Did he not have a radio? As soon as got out of the shooters sights he should have started screaming and/or radioing.
And now we know that a sniper had the shooter in his sights for 3 minutes but couldn’t get permission to engage.
This is all just so maddening.
eW
The second the assassin turned his gun on him he should have been shot dead!
this is the part that is still hearsay I think. unless someone has seen something
“And now we know that a sniper had the shooter in his sights for 3 minutes but couldn’t get permission to engage.”

Hopefully after the tragedy yesterday in Butler PA we can all recognize that unaccountable bloated bureaucracies continue to fail us as Americans.
Donald J Trump is alive today solely due to a bad wind estimate by an evil would be assasin.
As the graphics show the full value wind of just 5mph was enough to displace the unconfirmed but likely light 55 grain bullet two inches from DJT’s intended forehead to his ear.
DJT was not saved by USSS brilliance. The fact that USSS allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence. Clearly there was adequate uncontrolled dead space for a shooter to move into position and take multiple aimed shots. Watching the newsreel one can hear how proximate the shooter is by the very short time lapse between the crack of arriving bullet (supersonic) to the boom of muzzle blast (sonic).
The law enforcement sniper (unclear if USSS) in newsreels was clearly overwhelmed as his face came off his rifle instead of doing his job to kill the shooter. Clearly they were watching the shooter but apparently have a no “first shot” policy. The only positive action was an apparent 488yd shot by one USSS sniper which despatched the assasin but after the assassin launched at least 5 rounds, wounding DJT and killing and severely others in the crowd.
In my old business of providing Diplomatic Security in two active war zones we were expected to execute the basics or we would be fired. Clearly USSS failed at the basics of a secure perimeter and once shots were fired their extraction was clumsy and left DJT highly exposed to follow on attacks. It looked like they had never drilled together because those responses should be effectively autonomic. Will there be accountability? That’s not the Washington way.
Unserious and unworthy people in positions of authority got us to this near disaster. Merit and execution must be the only deciding factors in hiring and leadership, not the social engineering priority of the day. Sadly nothing in Washington reflects that any longer. DJT is right to question the competence of those protecting him because yesterday they failed in almost every way. Nature abhors a vacuum and there are always other options.
Most importantly, as Americans let’s come together and run a proper valid election so we can get back to what matters a merit based society that judges on character and skill. Nothing else.

God saved President Trumps life!! Gracias Dios
I wonder if this has anything to do with OBAMA changing the rules of engagement for the military? He does have a way of screwing things up apparently on purpose. I remember that he made it difficult for the military in the middle east to protect themselves but I can’t remember which war….. Iraq or Afghanistan.? Am I off base with this?
I noticed something in the tape after the shooting and after they put Trump in the car. There was a man in a military outfit with rifle that appeared to take one step forward and point his rifle inside the vehicle before the door was closed. He then backed away, adjusted his carry of the rifle, and walked away. I am not 100% sure this was Trump’s car, but it looked really strange to me. For all I know Trump could have been put in the ambulance. Would appreciate it if others reviewed that tape.
I just looked at the tape I think you saw. My feeling was that he pointed the gun down the other side of the car when someone walked up that way.

Leftist inflammatory hyperbole has consequences.
source: https://x com/JoeBiden/status/1806745000971296833
FJB today: “We don’t yet have any information about the motive of the shooter. We know who he is. I urge everyone please don’t make assumptions about his motive or affiliations. Let the FBI do their job,” Biden said.
It’s a mystery alright. It’s going to take months of the FIB ‘doing their job’ of scrubbing and reframing to explain this one.
And this is why FJB pulled their ads that were to run this week. It’s not out of respect or trying to change the tone. It’s because the ads continued his rhetoric that President Trump and his supporters must be destroyed.
And today he refused to accept any responsibility for this inflammatory,outrageous crock of lies.Direct incitement of murder!
Cute Joey. Having a little “opposite” day, after your pudding, are you?
OMG!
Have not read all of the threads’ comments, but have a question: Was the bullet hole in PDJT’s suit jacket a fake or real?
I have read that it is likely a clothing button from one of the SS agents protecting PDJT.
In the pic I saved to my PC it looks like a bullet home, but I haven’t figured out how to repost it here, and I don’t remember which website I found it.
Very interesting interview here with a man who compares the rooftop security at the last Trump Rally he went to in the area, with this one yesterday:
PDJT’s rally in Schnecksville, PA had similar security / coverage there as well.
Similar as in “Good” like the previous Rally this man attended?
Or similar as in “Bad”, like the one in Butler?
Holy smokes! Joe Dan just posted a tictoc video on Truth Social of President Trump getting in a golf cart and waving as he drives off! 😮
Incredible, right? What a guy! I bet the libs are going ape-crap over that!
And then after he played golf, he boarded his plane at 3:30 to head to Wisconsin.
The value of DEI lies in, among other things, getting people hating each other and screaming past each other. That’s what it is for.
I can’t help but notice that on a day where the Secret Service disgraced itself, to a man and woman, much of the outrage has focused on the height of one woman, and from there has extrapolated to what women in general have to realize about their inadequacies.
That’s too bad, as we have a great many things to discover.
Yes, the current head of the Secret Service has a goal of diversity to meet. However, I do not believe that is her real goal and purpose.
Yes, she did guard potato chips at Pepsi before her current position. She worked for the Secret Service since 1995, and stepped aside and went to private industry during Trump’s second term. Then came back.
Does that not seem suspicious? “Cheatle was assigned to the Vice Presidential Protective Division during the Obama administration” (Wikipedia).
She had ties to Biden, and he gave her an award upon her return. This does not make sense to me. If we focus on her being an incompetent DEI hire, which she may well be, that’s only half of the story as to what she was doing in the Biden administration, to my mind.
It’s her cover.
Oh boy.
Nikki Haley Invited To Speak At RNC
https://www.oann.com/newsroom/nikki-haley-invited-to-speak-at-rnc/
Former presidential candidate Nikki Haley has been invited to speak at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
https://t.me/OANNTV/8414
Nonononono!
Who invited her?
GREAT QUESTION !
I hope she gets Cruzed! Booed off the stage!
Interview on News Nation with the Milwaukee Mayor.
wow, this guy is a Loser. Capital L.
Trying to switch the narrative off of MSM driven hatred of the Right to “guns”. Even the interviewer is calling him out.
And yet the DEI head of SS just made a few comments at a mini press conference and says it perfectly fine for there to be guns in the soft perimeter of the Convention site because they have to follow Milwaukee gun laws. It would be hard to make up the ridiculousness of this woman.
Faux has dug up some classmates and friends they allege to have interviewed….
This is awesome. Going on right now in New York.
🔥NEW: Trump supporters rally in front of Trump Tower in NYC, and even form a car parade down Fifth Avenue
Patriots are coming out in full force for President Trump!

Love this!
Every time they do this in NYC, I hope and hope that Dem Voters I know who live there will run into it.
as I traveled the local gatherings – all I heard was “damn he missed”
the other side doesn’t want you on this earth and they are openly talking about it and reaffirming that its okay to have that bold hate in public.
they are ready for the protest burning events
they are wishing for hackers to hurt us…
until shame and consequence exists for them they will grow into a Hitler repeat of us being rounded up.
This is purportedly the assassin, at Arizona State.
If it’s him, he definitely hated republicans, and wanted PDJT dead.
Capture it before it’s ‘scrubbed’.
[video src="https://cdn.videy.co/T9ZGkUaM.mp4" /]
An X copy of the same disturbing video.
He is shrieking “death to fascists” in front of a Trump table.
Wether it’s him or not, that guy is dangerous.
As in psycho.
‘appropriately medicated’ most likely.
Looks like him!
It’s just sad to see what universities have devolved into. ASU is my Alma Mater. It was liberal when I was there thirty years ago, but that was back when we could debate issues in class and grab dinner and a drink afterwards.
It is pretty much a given that doesn’t happen anymore.
Stable fella
Yep.
Definitely doesn’t seem like a danger to anyone.
Thoughts from an old lady. Would the ss snipers need permission to shoot before they acted? I remember the story of the sniper in Afghanistan had to ask permission before he could destroy the bomber and the scumbag set off his bomb killing 13 of our finest before he got permission to shoot.
Eric Prince suggested the two in the newsreels had a no first shot policy. See Zero Hedge or
page 2 of the 0.34 CTH site.
Thanks, I will go back and read more thoroughly.
There is a post from one of the snipers (supposedly) that said he had the shooter in his sights for three minutes and couldn’t get permission to engage.
Good question, wtx.
Secret Service PC is on now. Don’t know how much of it I’ve missed, tho.
Could be wrapping up soon.
CNN has it.
FNC cut it off.
They did not take questions about what happened yesterday.
Commentators ripping it up now.
….” No operational changes in the works for Milwaukee”… Head of SS
All that idiot kept saying was she was confident in her people, her plan, and their ability. Glad she feels that way because I’m not feeling it!
You know it’s bad when even CNN is ripping it.
wow. One commentator after another ripping into Secret Service.
There’ve been 4 so far.
Everyone’s disgusted.
Riddle me this…..if it only took one shot to dispatch the assassin, where did all the shots that followed the dispatch originate?
Pay close attention to nevertrumpers supposedly now President Trump supporters.
In particular watch who are pushing hard the EffBeeEye women DEI incompetence (they were ineffective for most part), steering minds away from entertaining was an inside attempt. Every angle should be expected to be studied by everyone instead of railroading thought conclusions.
Good point. They may have given Trump an incompetent detail though, to aid their goal of assassinating him.
The chick in charge of SS just spoke at a pres conference. When asked by multiple reporters if she was going to add more detail or change their security.
All she kept saying was “we are going ahead with our original plans” and “we are confident in our plans, people…”
The Secret Service has yet to National address what happened yesterday.
She sure didn’t help improve the impression that people have had of SS “security” since last nite.
She’s just solidifying people’s suspicions re. SS.
I wanna see the whole thing, and I’d love it if it was actually easy to hear the questions people asked.
This is just so f’ing typical. They always accuse US of what they are doing! Now it’s President Trump’s fault for spreading vitriol? As in what, against himself?

Now we have Elon saying JD Vance must be VP for assassination insurance.
When a WEF acolyte, IC asset tells you this, it’s time to run in the other direction.
My mind tells me the criminals would much rather have Vance than Trump in the Oval Office and his appointment would be insurance they would assuredly kill our president.
Anything to perpetuate their evil.

Sundance commented on Twitter a while back that Vance’s odds for VP went way up with Musk’s donation to Trump SuperPAC.
Also, if you listen at the very end of that recent Mike Benz video (with Winston Marshall), he gets into domestic vs foreign policy. Mike states Trump may have to make a deal with the blob so his domestic polices are not blocked. (Trump would have to put in one of their peeps (JD) as VP and not interfere with their seize Eurasia plan.

What the hell is going on? This is just unbelievable. If he knew there was a guy up there with a rifle, why didn’t he have his weapon out ready to shoot the guy the minute he saw him? Is he a FJB voter?
“Local Police Officer Confronted Would-Be Trump Assassin on Roof But Then Retreated – Shooter Proceeded to Try to Kill Trump”
Excerpts:
Now, the news gets even worse. One local police officer might have been able to save the day by neutralizing the shooter but reportedly failed to engage.
After audience members pointed out to local law enforcement officers that Crooks was climbing a ladder onto the roof of a building, the officer followed and eventually confronted the would-be assassin.
Crooks responded by pointing his gun at the officer. The person in blue retreated down the ladder, and Crooks immediately fired a shot at Trump.
The AP reported:

We had the “Coward of Broward” now we have the “Buffoon of Butler”.
So Congress is going to get to the bottom of the Secret Service lack of security-they are going to call an emergency meeting with the head of the Secret Service-I am impressed.
I expect it will be like Janet Reno and Ruby Ridge-can’t answer any question about that because it’s an On Going Investigation.
Just like Christoper Wray almost anytime he is in front of Congress can’t answer questions because it’s an On Going Investigation.
I expect the same with Congress getting to the bottom of our inept Secret Service security plan because no one can respond to questions to an On Going Investigation.
Or maybe it’s classified
I expect a truly transparent and accurate analysis of what happened-NOT
A woman (Adria something?) on News Nation just pointed out that the open rooftop could have ended up as a mass casualty event.
She’s right of course, I just hadn’t thought about that before now.
1 dead and 3 injured (2 critical was last I heard) including our beloved PDJT.
How many qualifies as a mass?
Oh and one of the injuries was to Dr. Ronny Jackson’s nephew, I’ve seen reported.
Still can’t quite wrap my mind around it….but seeking to learn everything possible…
Disgusting.
Meet Jess Branas.
She is a councilwoman for Upper Darby Township in Delaware County, PA.
Even worse, she works for State House democrat Heather Boyd (PA-163).
After the assassination attempt against Trump, she posted on Facebook, “A for effort.”
Representative Heather Boyd, does your employee speak for you? Delaware County, are you okay w/ your councilwoman celebrating violence?
Pennsylvania House democrats, does Jess speak for you?

“Trump-Approved GoFundMe Nearly Triples $1M Goal for Victims of Failed Assassination Attempt in Just a Day”
Corey Comperatore/Image: Dawn Comperatore Schafer/Facebook
A Donald Trump-approved GoFundMe fundraiser has surpassed the million-dollar goal to support the victims and families of those injured and killed during the failed assassination attempt on the former president.
Excerpts:
By Sunday evening, the fundraiser had raised $2,881,693 — nearly triple the original goal — from over 36,000 donors.
In addition to Trump being shot in the ear, one rallygoer was killed, and two others were critically injured.
The deceased victim has now been identified as 50-year-old former Pennsylvania fire chief Corey Comperatore. He died while shielding his daughter from the gunfire.

Great question posed by ABLECHILD.
“ABLECHILD: Was Alleged Assassin Receiving Mental Health “Treatment,” and on Psychiatric Drugs?”
Excerpts:
Let’s look at a few examples of why it appears that suspected assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was a mental health patient. According to news reports Crooks had a mental meltdown on a college campus. The video allegedly depicts Crooks verbally abusing Trump supporters at a campaign table on a campus. Crooks further allegedly appears to be screaming vile remarks at the workers at the campaign table such as “slash his throat, every f*%kin Republican, slash Republicans throats.”
Furthermore, according to another news report Crooks was living with his grandparents before he was kicked out for using drugs. CNN reports that the alleged assassin’s father Matthew said, he was trying to figure out “what the hell is going on” but would “wait until I talk to law enforcement” before speaking about his son. Ironically, the suspected assassin’s father is an “expert” in the field of mental health working as a Care Manager at Community Care Behavioral Health in Bethel Park, PA., and also is the sole proprietor of a private counseling practice.
According to other unconfirmed news reports Thomas Crooks “came up in several intelligent reports lately.” ANTIFA, along with several other left-wing groups, are mentioned. Obviously, it is too early to know for sure what the truth is about Thomas Matthew Crooks, but everything about this would-be assassin must be released, including and especially his mental health and psychiatric drug history.
There can be no screw ups in this investigation. We don’t need cover ups and conspiracies. We need to know what drove this alleged assassin to act and any efforts to withhold information will result in unnecessary distrust of federal law enforcement agencies. Just as important, withholding any mental health data, does nothing to address what really is behind so many of these violent attacks…failed mental health “treatments” and deadly prescribed mind-altering drugs

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/ablechild-was-alleged-assassin-receiving-mental-health-treatment/
any efforts to withhold information will result in unnecessary distrust of federal law enforcement agencies
At this point the distrust is necessary and wise.

A moment’s reprieve from the horrendous news of yesterday:
Cubs beat Cardinals today in St. Louis, 8-3. I am like, a flat ‘yay’…hard to get excited…but yay!
Huh. From an MSM article just up, titled “This could hand Trump the election”:
“Of course, there is political capital to be made regarding the Democrats’ repeated invocation of Trump as an existential threat to democracy. But he left that business to his attack dogs, vice-president JD Vance and his son Don Jr, who accused Democrats of portraying his father as “literally Hitler.”
“Vice-President JD Vance?????”
Peculiar wording. If PT has announced his prospective VP, I surely missed that!
