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.

Egads….two white men. We are doomed.
Sage wisdom from a … oh, wait.
Gosh, we had two white men in 2017-2021 and we had no new wars, a path to ME peace, energy independence and dominance, record unemployment, lowest inflation in 50 years, economic stability, overall the best 4 years this country had seen in 40+ years. These people simply don’t understand the real world. DEI equates to DIE, for more on that check out what the first chick head of Secret Service just allowed to happen.
Um, Turtle, if we hadn’t had one of those white men, if we had almost any woman (except Haley) in there, things could have been sooo much better.
Good point, not such a good example.
That first chick allowed that because she was Obama and Biden’s project. Note that there is no penalty for gross failure; that’s because she did not let them down.
She should be forced to resign! Biden won’t fire anyone. Inside he probably giggled when he heard/saw what happened. 😠
Smart money says she tore into the detail with a line like “How dare you make me look bad!” People like that cannot accept responsibility for the failings of their policies/actions. It’s always “someone else’s fault”. For a USSS Director to blame local law enforcement for failing to protect the former President is unheard of and absurd.
It’s a shame that we are still judging things on the color of skin, and not the content of character.
Yes it’s a shame a small minority commit the overwhelming majority of crime and murder.
It’s also a shame that small minority is the epicenter of racist and bigotry.
It’s also a shame anytime that particular small minority has complete control over a city it becomes a hell hole with high crime, rampant murder rates and the worst run and most dangerous cities in America.
The 13%ers.
Unburdened by what has been…
Ironic that they say that, and in the next breath talk about slavery.
Two white men = MEI – Merit, Excellence, Intelligence
As a woman, I am glad that he did not use sex as a criteria. The “conventional wisdom” that demands a woman as second fiddle is demeaning to women.
I agree wholeheartedly Clarion!
Yes, when Biden said he would pick a woman of color for his VP, it was the same as stating he was going to make an affirmative action hire rather than pick the best person regardless of sex or race. And Kamala has proven to have been picked for nothing but her sex and skin color.
But they both have foreign wives.
Are they both citizens?
They are not Daughters of the Revolution, is all I am saying.
Usha Chilukuri Vance was born on January 6, 1986, in the United States to Asian Indian immigrant parents, and grew up in San Diego, California. As a US-born child of Indian immigrants, Usha Chilukuri Vance would have automatically acquired US citizenship at birth.
Melania Trump became a naturalized US citizen in 2006.
Ignored.
You are ignored because of ignorance. This will help counter all the people who claim MAGA is equivalent to the KKK. It is about WINNING!
And?
I thought that might give them some diversity points, at the very least.
Oh dear. You walked right into that one. Vance’s wife is an American citizen and Trump’s wife is a naturalized citizen.
I didn’t walk right into anything. The wives bring a lot of gravitas into any political relationship. They don’t have white wives from New Jersey or Kansas. If Kampala is considered an “other minority” than so is JD’s wife.
“The wives bring a lot of gravitas into any political relationship.”
Unless you’re Karen Pence.
Fionnagh: Well, she brought gravy into the relationship, so, there’s that.
I see your point, but somehow Donald Trump was still a xenophobe despite having had two foreign-born wives.
“Political circles”, phhhht. Are those the same people who gave us Build Back Better, DEI, no white male hires in my department for a dozen years, Fauchi’s collusion with drug companies to the detriment of the people, NAFTA and the gutting of manufacturing, every stinking policy of both parties since 1989. No thanks.
And the DIE lunacy has worked out so well.
York feels faint.
2 whites….make everything alright!!!
Gracias Dios
The absurdity is that it is frequently white leftists who spew this nonsense.
I think increasing numbers of people are voicing opposition to the tyranny of mandates on how to think, speak, or live.
At least he chose someone YOUNG.

I understand that turning this screw is easy and even temporarily advantageous, but this topic will be a cudgel against us going forward. Conservatives use battlefield and shooting metaphors regularly. Our favorite clothing manufacturers use guns and gun rights in their graphics.
This POS that just shot at our lion was wearing demolition ranch gear and shooting some sort of assault rifle. He belonged to a gun range. This will be slammed in our faces at some point over the next few months.
The shooter donated to a Biden PAC. This will be slammed in Democrats’ faces forever.
Understand, but his access to that gun, even though he was certifiably nuts, was real.
The other side will use this man and his access to an assault rifle against us. It’s coming.
Please try and avoid the term “assault rifle.” It’s a phony leftist term that they use in their gun-grabbing propaganda. The kid used a rifle. Just a rifle.
I’m familiar. I have yet to see it being called anything but. I’m all for his rights, until he proved loony or goes on psychotropic meds.
I’m just pointing out that all of our talk about their rhetoric is coming back at us, along with gun access rights, as a part of this story turned Bidet campaigning.
aaAs his father purchased the guns, there was no breakdown in the system. His father deserves some serious scrutiny.
I’m not debating his or his father’s right to the gun. I’m debating our cramming down their throats that rhetoric caused this. This moonbat clown caused this. His gun did not, but that won’t be the message when it’s aimed at us.
Respectfully, who cares? The left attacks us on everything, still lying about “good men on both sides” quote. And it wasn’t the battlefield references by dems/repubs that demonized people. It was calling Trump literally Hitler, destroyer of democracy, evil, existential threat, etc. Those were the references that finally scared up a crazy dem to try to kill him.
That’s ridiculous. Rhetoric doesn’t kill people. Neither do guns. This loony killed people.
And why do you think he did? Being told that Hitler will destroy the world, by media and politicians has an effect on disturbed peoples minds.
Lots of Dems own weapons and go to ranges.
So?
Wrong.
In a fight, you keep punching until the opponent cries “UNCLE” and begs for mercy. Then you show none and proceed accordingly.
It AIN’T 1980 anymore.
Imagine that for almost 10 years (!) a message that a man is hitler, an enemy of democracy, a man who should be “eliminated”, and that message is not promulgated by some isolated website, but broadcast <i>by every major media</i> with relentless persuasion, day in and day out.
Now imagine some 12 year kid, slightly “off”, someone who continued to wear a mask after COVID had passed (indicating someone susceptible to “brainwashing”) who hears that evil message for at least 8 years. What are the chances that 20 year old, exposed to that propaganda, would do something dangerous. And how many more of them are out there?
Yes, I blame the dems and their collaborators (the “main stream media”) because the event of this past Saturday was their long term objective and wish. And when it happened (and by the grace of God, failed), these evil people push their propaganda “we must all tone down the rhetoric.” They are culpable of the worst crime, and are now in a temporary defensive posture, until they establish a new line of attack.
What can we do? At the least, never reference them, click on their sites, or give them credibility.
“Sometimes the tree of liberty…”
Ever seen that one?
I don’t know if this has anything to do with pushing lefties with propaganda to the breaking point. I think it has to do with “choosing” a guy that was ripe for the picking.
Agreed. I have thought the fact the shooter was able to get an open shot from a perfect angle only a 130 yards away was shady from start. We have serious problems with our secret service if a 20yr old with no military or police experience can show up and get 3 shots off on a president—imagine what a nefarious state actor who is trained could do—OR there is something fishy about the thing. How does a 20yr old with no prior military show up and know where he could get a clear shot from and know where the security holes were to be able to get by them with a rifle. This is not something that normally could be done on the spur of the moment. Then you have the response today from the Head of the secret service saying, that wasn’t a good roof to put security on because it was sloped so they decided to just secure the building from the inside. Does she not know that we know that the roof is a low slope roof and we have pictures of police and military standing on the roof easily after they shot the shooter and the government snipers were also set up on a sloped roof that was of a much greater slope. See the comments from the secret service director here. https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/trump-rally-shooting-fbi-investigation-attempted-assassination-july-16
That rooftop should have been covered either with a physical presence or over watched by another secure position. This was a DS set up and no one will convince me of otherwise. Kids got ties to Blackrock and fits the profile of every other MKUltra whack job we’ve seen in recent years.

Nice insight from the ‘other’ Donald (Requiesce in pace).
IN 2020 PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR BIDEN WERE FOOLED BY DEMOCRATS
IN 2024 PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS ARE JUST FOOLS
They weren’t fooled. The vast majority are unthinking emotional nuts who want government control and government action to enforce their unenforceable worldview on those who crave independence.
Long sentence apologies.
Are you calling the postal employees, dim-o-crat election staffer-stuffers, and voting machines fools?
Those are the entities that “won” the election.
I’m talking about those who continue to vote for more government control. The note said those voters were fooled and I’m saying they weren’t at all fooled.
The cheat is a whole different kettle of fish. It won the election, but millions of whiners and betas still voted for the invalid in the WH so Zero could continue his communist conversion.
Damn right!
They weren’t fooled. People who vote Democrat do so because they want to kill babies preferably with government funding, have the government affirm and force others to affirm their sodomy or other sexual activities, they want free stuff provided by taxpayers, or they want open borders so they can end the US Constitution, get cheap labor, or eradicate YT.
It’s that simple – Democrats are evil.
Like it or not, Trump most likely has “street cred” now.

Heh.

They read as glistening and penetrating.
Did you read the text bubble? “Da CIA missed”. That mean that the artist knows that it was an inside job of our government.
The black eyes show off the white pupils which are radiating light and the soul of PDJT. The black eyes are meant to enhance the sparkle in the pupils.
Whoever painted this is at least informed enough to throw the CIIAA under the bus for the “missed”shot. God is awakening inner America. Amen
Many of you watch a few minutes of the mindless MSM bias everyday. I appreciate your courage! Personally, I just can’t stomach it. I read what others write and watch short clips, it’s even better if there is a transcript!
“The Legacy Media Has Passed the Point of No Return”
Excerpts:
The legacy media’s self-prostitution in concealing and downplaying Biden’s accelerating senescence, and mindlessly promoting and justifying the assassination of Donald Trump are the final straws that have sealed their fate.
The Trump-Biden debate on June 27, 2024 exposed that for nearly five years the legacy media has deliberately obfuscated, excused, and outright lied about what was obvious to the bulk of the American citizenry
A massive poll of 20,000 participants undertaken by the Knight Foundation and Gallup found that Americans’ hope for and trust in an objective media was all but lost by 2020. They saw not only an ever-growing partisanship in news reporting but a determination by the legacy media to push a political agenda instead of honestly disseminating the news.
This poll was one of the most devastating indictments of the media in polling history. Some highlights:
84% of surveyed Americans laid either a moderate or a great deal of the blame for partisan hostility at the feet of the media.
Further, 82% believed news outlets are either deliberately “misrepresenting the facts” or are “making them up entirely”.
This is further amplified as 79% of those surveyed said media outlets are trying to persuade people to adopt a certain opinion about an issue or an individual.
Similarly, while the respondents in the poll believed that the media is “critical” or “very important” to democracy, 86% say they have witnessed either a fair amount or a great deal of bias in news reporting. Damningly, 78% feel that this bias is reflected in the spread of fake news which “is a major problem” that exceeds all others in the legacy media environment.
After the election, the anger and single-minded determination of the legacy media to seek revenge and prove they could still remove or destroy a president was palpable. Since November 9, 2016, the groupthink mandated that Donald Trump must be destroyed regardless of the fallout, or potential destruction of trust in the media, or the future well-being of the country.
The opening salvo of this undeclared war was their complicity, as co-conspirators, with the Obama administration in the egregious Russian collusion hoax. Followed by endless falsehoods, unproven allegations, and character assassination directed at Trump, his family, and members of his administration.
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/07/the_legacy_media_has_passed_the_point_of_no_return.html
I agree Turtle. I quit regular watching of the networks just before the election. Every time Trump said anything, they called it “rhetoric”, to make it sound ominous.
Then Andrea Mitchell said Juanita Broaddrick had been “discredited”.
They all covered for Biden’s obvious senility; they were calling it “Biden’s gaffes” before he was elected.
Ha! I CUT THE CORD in 2005. De Nada.
Biden is giving LESTER HOLT hell for not being all that he can be – for the communist par-tee!
Holt is as sycophantic of a lefty shill as exists anywhere.
The media are just reading the IC script that is given to them every day. We really need to reform the IC.
By the way, the “reporters” are complete idiots not deserving of our attention.
Trump/Vance need to take out CIAE, FBLI and DOJ immediately. Send all the workers home and shackle and chain the top 20%. Then you”ll see who’ll run for bunkers. It ain’t gonna be pretty But it’s gotta be done.
Where was Ivanka last night
Out of sight, thank God. She and Jared should stay that way.
Ivanka and her husband will not be participating in the Trump 2024 administration.
Attending the nominating convention is a far cry from participating in the administration, especially two days after her father narrowly cheated death. Even Tiffany was present, with her husband.
I think Ivanka may have been too emotionally overwrought and didn’t want to be seen breaking down in public.
Just a guess.
So now the Left believe in False Flags… go figure!
“Trump completely broke the left. Listen to what they think about July 13th. Wild.”

Blue Anon is more influential than I had thought.
Feels like I’ve seen this one before.. Seems like Vance is being staged as the next generation of the movement, a man who is supposed to rally the previously unrepresented conservative base that is MAGA or to bring them back into the fold..
Unless I’m pleasantly surprised, I just don’t see that happening.
Not so much rhyming but certainly repeating.. History just doing it’s thing I guess.
GHWB was given a layup by Reagan for a two term administration and screwed it up…he was not principled…put his finger in the air to see which way the wind was blowing…first by backtracking on his no new taxes pledge and the second by expanding government programs…EPA , Disabilities Act etc…
His only major accomplishment was supporting Clarence Thomas for the SC…
GHWB was always corrupt to the core, selling out the American people. Just consider what he and Billy boy did with the Haiti recovery monies. Crooks! He only said what was politically expedient.
GHWB was the first Democrat with a (R) behind his name to call for a “New World Order” the Bush Family has been making money off of wars since WWI.
There were so many GOP voters who did not vote in that election. I was a college student working for the county auditor in northern Ohio (strong Republican territory) and heard the same story hundreds off times of people not voting for Bush the second time because “he didn’t finish the job in Iraq.” That was a big thing back then.
Our country is undone, never to return to its previous glory. Come soon, Lord!
Yes–the Coming Glory will be much better and America WILL be saved. Hallelujah!
So far, my morning perusal of Commie headlines finds them either ignoring Vance or liking him. There was one celebrity article on his wife Usha being a ‘solid foundation’.
That’s concerning, to me anyway.
The MSM have certainly embraced the ‘assassination’ narrative. I guess they got their orders.
Lots of the younger crowd, many liberals/socialists, some never Trumpers at least from their postings on Reddit seem somewhat upset about Vance. When Vance called Trump the H word he joined in with the likes of Morning Joe and the rest of the vitriol. They from their perspective respected Vance for it. Not so much now..
I just see greasy slimy money interests and I’m still waiting for the expose on his wife beyond the Yale Law degree and DNC affiliated law job. Wondering about any potential international influence concerns.
I bet if you were to investigate Usha you’d find that she supports abortion, homosexual marriage etc., and votes Democrat. The odds of a CA native, Yale lawyer that works for a SF/DC law firm and is Indian being remotely conservative is quite slim.
Ask yourself if a truly pro-life, conservative could be married to a liberal pro-abortion spouse… See Paul Ryan, George W Bush, etc.
Bush Angle to Reagan Shooting Still Unresolved as Hinckley Walks – WhoWhatWhy:
A Story I Had to Leave Out of My Book by RUSS BAKER 08/16/16
George H.W. Bush knew the family of the man who shot Bush’s then-boss Ronald Reagan, in 1981. With the shooter now freed, it’s time, finally, to take a closer look.
President Reagan surrounded by a snake pit.
Reagan changed policies and shut up about the federal reserve, etc. after he was shot. Let’s see if Trump’s calls for compromise result in the same uniparty win.
Vance met his wife at Yale in 2013, 11 years later he’s at the top. Does make one wonder?
reagan, reagan, bush AIN’T happening. Different electorate. vance doesn’t get 270 in 28. no numbers / no margins.
True. If they allow Trump to win he will likely be the last Republican president – demographics are destiny and then there’s the cheating.
YES! See, you know. Occam’s razor and all.
He went to Yale – that means he’s compromised. He’s a senator that means he’s compromised. He’s married to a Yale lawyer from CA that means he’s compromised.
Firefighter’s widow, who lost her husband in the Pennsylvania rally, refused the president’s call, saying she “didn’t want to talk to him.”
Is this true? 🤔
https://modernity.news/2024/07/16/gunman-was-seen-with-rangefinder-by-secret-service-agents-before-shooting/
“Thomas Crooks was seen by Secret Service agents with a rangefinder before he disappeared and returned to the scene with a backpack, while snipers were also stationed inside the same building from where the gunman shot at Trump, according to a report by CBS News”
Three counter snipers were inside the building. While the punk was on top of the building. Wth
Someone on here posted that there was video that looked like shots were coming from inside the building. 🙈🙉🙊
That frozen photo of bullet next to Pres. Trumps head looks to be horizontal. If it was a rooftop shot wouldn’t it be angled down?
It would be indeed.
I did some quick geometry and determined that a shooter 20 feet up and 400 feet away would be shooting downward at an angle less than 3 degrees.
Probably not perceptible in the image that you are viewing.
So a shot from ground level say 6ft up and one from 20 ft up, trajectory would not be perceptible? What were the snipers on the other side of the building doing?
Was Crooks weapon fired? All of the ammo recovered came from same gun?
a kid on a roof or snipers in a building, who would you bet on to make that shot?
💯 🎯
I can’t imagine another explanation that holds any water.
All true.
Also true:
Genesis 50:20
You planned something bad for me, but God produced something good from it, in order to save the lives of many people, just as he’s doing today.
Praise God!
Amen Gipper
Amen
✝️
Probably because he would have said, “Sorry for your loss. Let me tell you about my son Beau, who died in Iraq…”
Whenever Biden attempts condolences, he quickly shifts the focus to himself and Beau.
It is so reprehensible when he does that. I too have lost a son, and a husband. It would never occur to me to bring that up when offfering my condolences to someone. Then again, I am not a narcissistic evil person.

Often the families of murder victims have no desire to speak to the perpetrators.
Only 100%?
Seems a little low to me…
Remember, dear Treepers:
Paul, nee Saul of Tarsus, used to oppose Jesus. Then he was saved by him, and became one of his greatest writers.
J.D. Vance used to criticize DJT. Then he became his ally, and will be the Vice President, working towards MAGA.
And at the risk of angering some here at my audacious analogizing:
Ace of Spades used to criticize DJT. And months ago he came around, and is now a staunch supporter and fights in that cause with ferocity and fearlessness. You should forgive. You should read his posts, because he is rowing this boat across the Potomac, in cadence with the rest of us.
I’ve been a loyal reader and grateful Treeper here since Trayvon was still warm. I’ve been a loyal reader and grateful Moron at the HQ for just a couple years longer. Both families are the same tribe, and value the same things, and even have the same love to have a prayer list.
If the tribes merged, you would only know the difference by the accents, because Morons sometimes cuss a bit more.
I hope you understand.
Also, Ace is back on X, after a long, long absence.
https://nitter.poast.org/AceofSpadesHQ
To be truthful, I was put off by Trump’s style in 2016, but I came around in January of 2017 when it became clear that he was targeted by the FBI. The corruption of every branch of government was slowly but surely revealed during 45’s administration. We now rage against the machine.
This is where I am. My two favorite sites and with similar worldviews.
He will be (and should be) watched and scrutinized.
Absolutely. Trust but verify.
Ditto, bro.
Ace did the same NeverTrump crap in 2016 as well. He gets on board when there’s no other choice. I do like the site though.
Saul used to imprison Christians.
Exactemundo.
Did you know this?
“A number of delegates filing into the Pfizer Forum, where Trump was officially nominated as the Republican Party’s presidential candidate.”
The Pfizer Forum? Really? I am NEVER TAKING ANOTHER VACCINE FOR ANYTHING!
Yep, when Fox first broadcast the exterior long shot early yesterday of the RNC venue and announced it, I went ‘uggghhh’. Prior I hadn’t paid attention to where the convention was going to be held.
I’ve seen enough of Pfizer for one lifetime.
After reading RFK Jr’s book, all jabs are off-limits as well as most drugs. I’m off of all my heart meds, relying on diet to lower my BP. The FDA and NIH, NIAID are corrupt to the core as lap dogs for the drug companies.
Diet as devoid of processed chemicals as possible, regular exercise (yard work, walking, cleaning work just as well as gym memberships and expensive equip), sunlight and fresh air.
The human body evolved with these things and knows how to use them to heal.
Conventional medicine as a last resort.
For the record, it’s the Fiserv Forum. Fiserv is a tech company based in Milwaukee
It is actually Fiserv Forum. I thought it was Pfizer too when I first heard it, so i immediately looked it up.

Some quick homework would show you that it is not related to Big Pharma.
I do not know how people maintain their composure….I get teary eyed just watching the video.
Now that President Trump has been officially nominated, will the FJB admin give President Trump intel briefings and correct ones? I have my doubts.
Hell, I doubt they gave him full and correct briefings when he was President. Why would they start now?
Because job / department / role eliminations are coming.
Exactly
They’ll misinform him. That’s one reason why I wanted Flynn as VP
But he’s aware. Hard to fool someone who totally distrusts you.
Gen Flynn would make a good DNI. 🙂
The IC cannot be trusted. Would you take anything they tell you seriously?
A resounding h*ll NO!
I seem to remember Comey or someone from the intelligence world admitted later that they didn’t trust President Trump and edited what they told him.
No wonder Milley later felt justified in betraying the President to China.

Hat tip to J.J. Sefton.
“The FBI and DOJ rounding up and jailing peaceful pro-lifers is especially notable because it has directly involved the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office, which is currently leading the FBI investigation into Trump’s attempted assassination. Helping put elderly Americans in jail for constitutionally protected speech is another indication the Pittsburgh FBI office is as politically corrupted as the Washington, D.C., office.”
Effective armies march in unison. Expect it across all branches of Communist infested federal, state and local government and law enforcement. Facing a juggernaut can be daunting. We’ve dealt with them before. Adapt and overcome.
The Battle of Athens Part II coming up.
Title of that article is perfect.
Absolutely.
TGP’s or Revolver’s would have been:
“Any Assassination Investigation that Includes These Two People Would Be THIS.”
😂
“Eyewitnesses also relate that the FBI has been vacuuming up photos and video from the event from attendees, and if past procedure is any indication, they will classify and seal all such material as the product of an ‘ongoing law enforcement investigation’ indefinitely”
“A source close with law enforcement in the area told the Gateway Pundit today that local Sheriff Michael Slupe was instructed to ‘stand down’ and not send extra manpower and SWAT teams to the rally site in advance of the President’s appearance in Butler, a small town of 13,000 in Pennsylvania about 30 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. This was allegedly done over the objections of Sheriff Slupe.”

Professor Maher from Montana State Univ is an audio forensics expert who stated that based on the sounds of the shots, they came from 330 to 390 yards away. But the shooter was only 130 yards away. Further, while he said the first three shots came from the same firearm there may have been another firearm used on other shots based on audio forensics. Other than a few Montana news articles, this story is not in the press. Strange and something to check out further.
This woman has been to every President Trump rally except 10 since 2015. She noticed Big Red Flags on Friday July 12, 2024. It is a really good interview. (12 minutes) She discusses how they usually use cranes, semis, dump trucks, etc. to prevent a line of sight to the President.
“Exclusive on Trump Assassination: “I’ve Been to Every Trump Rally, They Left a Clear Line-of-Sight to Kill Trump” (VIDEO INTERVIEW)”
Excerpts:
Lori Levi has attended every Trump rally selling merchandise except for 10, and noticed major security lapses in the set up and layout of the Trump rally by event organizers.
“I had a terrible feeling. I knew something was wrong. I kept waiting for them to fix the basic security problems, since there was a direct ‘line-of-sight’ to President Trump.”
The FBI and federal authorities have assumed total control over local law enforcement to respond to media inquiries. In an email, the City of Butler police told the Gateway Pundit, “The FBI has assumed the role of the lead federal law enforcement agency in the investigation. The FBI is now issuing all press related material.”
“They weren’t blocking the line of sight like they have in every other location. Typically they would put cranes, or heavy machinery, in the way to block a clear line-of-sight to Trump as a security protocol. I kept thinking that his security detail was going to bring it in later, but they never did.”
“I assumed they would bring in dump trucks, semi trucks, cranes, to block the line of sight, but they didn’t.”

The site agent, who was in charge of putting all security measures for a particular event in place, was a “relatively new agent” from the Pittsburgh office with “limited experience,” a Secret Service source told Real Clear Politics
.
According to the Secret Service, Trump’s permanent detail were stood down for the Butler rally on Saturday because they were “overburdened” and had been working consecutive seven-day weeks and needed a break.
https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/bombshell-secret-service-replaced-trumps-permanent-detail-with-temporary-agents-for-butler-rally/
The consecutive 7 day weeks is crap. PDJT remained out of sight post debate. I don’t know their schedules, but the op tempo had to drop significantly after the debate.
I guess if you were at the rally, the smartest thing to do would be make hard copies of photos and video evidence and put them in a secure location outside of your home. Would the fib raid Patrols homes or hack their phones to delete evidence, of course they would. Lunden Roberts, the mother of Hunter’s child reported that her phone and computer “just lost all of its texts and emails one night.”
Eyewitnesses also relate that the FBI has been vacuuming up photos and video from the event from attendees, and if past procedure is any indication, they will classify and seal all such material as the product of an ‘ongoing law enforcement investigation’ indefinitely.
The evidence and proof of the Trump assassination attempt is being buried right now. Federal law enforcement is starting to blame local law enforcement for the failure, claiming that they were in charge of providing security on the outer perimeter of the rally.
A source close with law enforcement in the area told the Gateway Pundit today that local Sheriff Michael Slupe was instructed to ‘stand down’ and not send extra manpower and SWAT teams to the rally site in advance of the President’s appearance in Butler, a small town of 13,000 in Pennsylvania about 30 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. This was allegedly done over the objections of Sheriff Slupe.
A lot like what they did with the J6 investigation.
Now we’re having trouble getting it all released.
I read that report too. I had suggested congressional investigators sit in on the interviews of the public employees present at Butler, at least for the sake of transparency. But the Feds are collecting all evidence, cowing all witnesses, and by the end of the week it will be as if this event never happened. The news reports will disappear from the internet. Persons drawing attention to the facts, as we do, will be ridiculed. I wish the election could be held right now, but much can happen in the long remaining days.
“Surviving an assassination attempt, having a case dismissed, making money and Democrats giving up add up to a very good week [for Trump] and it is only Tuesday.”

“Staged Theatrics to Win Idiots’ Vote”: Virginia Professor Declares Trump Shooting Was Faked
https://jonathanturley.org/2024/07/16/staged-theatrics-to-win-idiots-vote-virginia-professor-declares-trump-shooting-was-faked/
So, it was faked to win idiots’ votes. And who are those idiots of which he speaks?
Probably 99.99% of the people at that rally (not including media) and all other rallies were and are going to vote for Trump. So, who are these idiots he speaks of?
Unfortunately, we will never know what goes on in the mind of a demented person
Just think logically … then try and imagine the complete opposite.
The Trump/Vance campaign should just be called the party of common sense.
University of Virginia Assistant Professor Sethunya Mokoko – hmmm that name??
His faculty bio states that Mokoko teaches “Race, Rhetoric, and Social Justice” and “Writing about Culture and Society.” His focus is “teaching students to appreciate and value social justice rhetorics across media; to become rhetorically listening writers, readers, and viewers; and to understand how global rhetorics shape and define agency and identification.”
Another most likely foreign born professor helping idiots gain worthless degrees in Social Justice.
As an Assistant Professor, it is probably trying to score points with its department and future tenure committee.
Of course a Race, Rhetoric, and Social Justice “professor” would think it’s faked, because that’s all these race baiters and hustlers do is create fake hate crimes to grift off of. Paging Jussie Smollet….
I demand kkkkmml lklplkkmm
Put my phone to my ear and this disaster resulted. Probably more cogent that what I normally write.
This idiot actually makes the Lizard Cheney hire look good.
Meant to say an immediate firing.
How insane must you be to think Trump volunteered to go on stage and hope the guy missed him when he
shot. Insanity runs rampant on the left. I forced myself not to f-bomb.
Utterly senseless. Academia is littered with absolute clowns, professors and administrators alike.
Awesome. While getting gasoline @ our favorite PEMEX in Mexico thus morning at 6 a.m. the attendants yelled TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP at me when I pulled up to the pumps. They were holding their ear….and the said…Fight Fight Fight!!
God bless all of Mexico!! The world knows!!!
Actually, they know you are an expat American.

Unity? How do we have unity with people that hate us? I do not want unity with deceptive frauds like McConnell, Ryan, McCain, and 99% of the GOP. Do you want unity with the 4 frauds that could not bring themselves to anything about Garland? What on earth happened to McClintock?
Unity with Haley? Really?
This family is not in this for unity. This family is in this for the fight. We support PDJT because we thought he was too.
I have heard more than enough from Haley and do not have any interest in anything she has to say.
Further, unity is a two-way street. The left and the fraudulent GOP never concedes anything to us. That means unity consists of us capitulating as always. Puke!
I want unity between North and South. Haley took down a flag of the South because some haters didn’t like it.

39 Things To Know About JD Vance, Trump’s Running Mate
JUL 16, 2024
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/39-things-know-about-jd-vance-trumps-running-mate
Whenever I see someone claim to reinvent himself, it’s sets off an alarm: He never had, and never will have, moral clarity.
Vance has sought to dramatically reinvent himself as all in for Trump while embracing a Republican message of economic populism
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/10/23/jd-vance-ohio-senate-trump-comments-516865
Plus he was a Public Affairs officer (whatever that means)) in the Marine Corp
Sen. J.D. Vance, Ohio Republican, was born James Donald Bowman in August 1984. His parents divorced and he was later adopted by his mother’s third husband. He went by James Hamel — his stepfather’s surname — when he enlisted in the Marine Corps after high school.
After basic training, he was assigned to the public affairs section of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in North Carolina.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/jul/15/jd-vance-served-in-marines-as-journalist/
He was deployed to Iraq as a combat correspondent for six months in late 2005
Oh so snarky.
Wonder how many idiot-leftists ended up “hearting” that post. Bet there were a couple at least.
I can see the sarcasm in Vance’s tweet from a mile away.
Wth is going on in Hou??
“SHOCKING: A lineman who went to Houston after the hurricane to restore power lines says he will never return to Texas.
He states that two of his colleagues ended up in the hospital after being given fentanyl-laced water. Linemen had to be evacuated due to explosive threats, people pulled guns on them, and some were beaten and attacked.
Democrat-run cities are not safe!”

Yes, beware of the smiling faces of unknowns. Perhaps that sounds depressing to distrust fellow humans but it could save one’s life in this adversarial environment where morals are fungible and laws interpreted by Communists.
The story doesn’t surprise me. I was drugged by food twice, either CBD oil or Fent. Weed and CBD oil are legal where I live. For some it’s a lifestyle. For me it was totally out of it for two days and vomiting for most of one night. Hadn’t hugged the porcelain god like that since wife brought Norovirus home. Nasty. Now I don’t eat out or at neighbors. Fix my own food and bring my own drinks.
Sad.
Two utility repair men were shot dead in St. Louis a few years ago, the violence came out of the blue.
@Sundance for the past few years after this lawfare went into warp speed on PDJT, I wanted to watch this movie again. I haven’t watched it in years. After this failed assassination attempt I made sure to watch this movie after many years when it first came out. It reminds me of how I expect my Secret Service Agent to be like the main hero of the movie. The movie is “In The Line of Fire” starring none other a great American actor Clint Eastwood. Check out the movie for a brief break with all this stuff going on. The acting of course is Oscar worthy.
So the SS holster fumbler is a coward as well?

Seems to me that not firing whomever was responsible for security at tne rally by now is ITSELF a firing offense for this DEI hire as SS Director.
why should she? PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY IS ALL SHE NEEDS. SHE HAS THAT. ALL OF THEM DO. DC WAY.
I’m imagining what PDJT’s first official act might be, indirectly if not in-her-face.
Mayorkas is intentionally destroying the border, immigration law, the country, and then flat out lying to Congress and the American people, saying “the border is closed.”
And he still sits in office, laughing at us. “Demographics is Destiny.”
Maybe they did tell Trump.
Does he look like the kind of guy who would wet his pants and delay or cancel the event?
You think he’d have risked the crowd getting Mandalay’d?
I seriously don’t.
Multiple people had Crooks in their sight (so to speak) and utterly failed to do what any other SS detail or its helpers would do: NEUTRALIZE.
Fail, Fail, Fail. By Design & Intent.
This is on the level of the FBI having the policy of See Something, Say Something. Yeah right. Telling the authorities about suspicious looking criminal behavior is meaningless.
according to “poso” vance is a “GENERATIONAL PICK”. such a grifter.
It’s true. Nothing wrong with that statement.
Exactemundo.
bs
“generational talent”HA! DELUSIONAL. vance ain’t getting 270 in 28. no numbers / no margins. Learn how to play politics, first.
Real America’s Voice are addressing the “lack of enthusiasm,” which is a a huge understatement, for JD Vance.
They are talking about it because that’s all they’re hearing from the MAGA base is “WTF.” The tension in the air about this pick for VP is sooo thick, you can cut it with a knife. I visited a few conservative sites last night, and they’re full of comments saying the same thing. 😬
Because, you can call it. He ain’t gettin’ 270. Around him…a bunch of grifters. How do you think the story ends?
This is not only a good article by Vance, it’s one of the best examples I’ve seen in a long, long time showing how important critical, deep thinking is in our life journey. It’s not just the rather long article itself that impresses me, nor is it the opinions and choices Vance has made. His ability to put a long, complex process, to model being willing to step outside our most deeply held comfort zones, to examine our own strengths and weaknesses, who we are and where we come from, and many other ideas, this should be a model for how we examine things.
Several points to make here, in consideration of whether you want to dive into this. First, the purpose of the article is supposed to be his journey to becoming Catholic. In actuality, I find that to be quite a small part of this story, and I would argue, Catholic though I am, not the most important nor the best part.
Second, there’s some interesting stuff in here, like how he became acquainted with Peter Thiel.
J.D. Vance was not even on my list of hopes for VP. Unlike a lot of you, I think it is quite an important choice, and one that will have a huge bearing on where we go post Trump second term. I am unapologetically a one issue voter, in that I will never support anyone who outright supports or facilitates abortion. Therefore, I am extremely disturbed that Vance apparently supports access to the abortion pill. I have not gone really deep into that yet, but if he actually has that position, in my opinion, it certainly calls into question his choice to be Catholic, and therefore the depth of his integrity on such a vital choice.
Nevertheless, I remind myself how different I am now from the day I was baptized.
Anyhow, for all who want to know a little more about the man Trump has chosen to help him in this fight, I recommend this article.
https://thelampmagazine.com/blog/how-i-joined-the-resistance
I think, for once, Politifact did a decent job of conveying Vance’s position on abortion:
https://www.politifact.com/article/2022/oct/12/context-what-jd-vance-said-about-rape-abortion-and/
Trump supports access to the abortion pill too. But their opinions on the issue are irrelevant. After the SCOTUS ruling, the decisions lie with the states, not the Federal. That’s where their opinions are important, the ones who make the decisions.
The GOP platform supports access to birth control. There is an abortion pill which is different, but I am not positive that is what the Platform supports.
That addressed his general position. I’m specifically talking about what he said about the abortion pill. I know Trump’s position, and I don’t consider it irrelevant at all. But, in my comment, last paragraph, I am specifically addressing Vance’s choice to convert to Catholicism. Trump has made no such choice, so my comment has nothing to do with him.
I am very concerned and disappointed at changes in the Republican platform in regard to abortion, but the fact remains, President Trump is the most poor life president we have ever had.
Vance on the abortion pill:
On the question of the abortion pill, what so many of us have said is that, look, we certainly don’t – the Supreme Court made a decision saying that the American people should have access to that medication. Donald Trump has supported that opinion. I support that opinion. I think it’s important to say that we actually have to have an important conversation in this country about what our abortion policy should be. Donald Trump is the pragmatic leader here. He’s saying most abortion policy is going to be decided by the states. We want to make it easier and more affordable for young women and parents to have families to begin with. We want to lower housing costs, eliminate the surprise medical bills that so many families see after they have a baby. That’s the Trump and Republican approach to this issue.
https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meet-press-july-7-2024-n1310187
They both support access to the abortion pill.
I can understand being a one-issue voter. Nothing wrong with that. If that’s your redline, then that’s your redline. If your conscience no longer allows you to vote for Trump based on those positions, that’s fine.
But how does withdrawing your support for a candidate help your cause at all?
Good grief, you extrapolated here. I absolutely intend to vote for President Trump, and in my opinion, I never said or implied otherwise.
I question the integrity of any Catholic who in any way supports abortion. And I also see that I made a grievous typo in my comment above, where poor is substituted for pro.
Donald Trump is the most pro life president we’ve ever had. I am grateful for that, and I support him enthusiastically.
Apologies for my typo.
I’m interested in seeing the pro-life movement pivot their attention from the Federal level to the state level, which is why I was asking questions like I did.
My impression is that they’re all still in shock over the SCOTUS ruling.
I think that, I hope that, most pro life voters are like me. What I mean when I say I’m a one issue voter is that I will never vote for anyone who supports and works toward legal abortion. What that means in a practical way to me is that I’d never vote Democrat, even if there was one stalwart true opponent of abortion running on that ticket. I’d consider them to have split loyalties at best, and be dishonest at worst.
By the same token, I am not so unreasonable that I won’t vote for the Conservative who offers the best hope of protecting the unborn. I am not going to refuse to vote because I dislike the degrees of difference in the pro life position.
Catholics I put into a different category altogether. There is never, ever any acceptable reason for a Catholic to in any way support even the most minute pro abortion position. Actually, I think most Christians of any denomination probably agree with that statement.
I always thought that was strange, myself, that these elected officials make a point that they are Catholic but then support abortion.
I don’t like to judge people on their level of faith as a general rule, as who knows what is in someone’s heart, but still?
Why proclaim a faith you have no intention of adhering to?
If the GOP wants to grow… the platform will have to take into account the majority of Americans who are somewhere in between.
The GOP is growing without compromising their principles. Do not need to be Dem-lite.
“It was the best criticism of our modern age I’d ever read. A society oriented entirely towards consumption and pleasure, spurning duty and virtue.
Not long after I first read these words, my friend Oren Cass published a book arguing that American policy makers have focused far too much on promoting consumption as opposed to productivity, or some other measure of wellbeing.
The reaction—criticizing Oren for daring to push policies that might lower consumption—almost proved the argument.
“Yes,” I found myself saying, “Oren’s preferred policies might reduce per-capita consumption. But that’s precisely the point: our society is more than the sum of its economic statistics.
If people die sooner in the midst of historic levels of consumption, then perhaps our focus on consumption is misguided.”
And indeed it was this insight, more than any other, that ultimately led not just to Christianity, but to Catholicism.
Despite my Mamaw’s unfamiliarity with the liturgy, the Roman and Italian cultural influences, and the foreign pope, I slowly began to see Catholicism as the closest expression of her kind of Christanity: obsessed with virtue, but cognizant of the fact that virtue is formed in the context of a broader community; sympathetic with the meek and poor of the world without treating them primarily as victims; protective of children and families and with the things necessary to ensure they thrive.
And above all: a faith centered around a Christ who demands perfection of us even as He loves unconditionally and forgives easily.”
Quite a journey.
“God works in mysterious ways”… indeed!
Thank you. Menagerie!
An interesting read. I know a lot more about the guy. He’s a lot smarter than me, that’s one thing I found out. Thanks for posting that.
He relates the story of his search for God. I think it’s fair to say it’s a tumultuous story with twists and turns, exposing lots of emotional drama.
Don’t get me wrong, I like the guy. I wonder, though, whether, his decision making still involves emotional drama.
In this regard, I like his wife who tells him: “My wife has said that the business of converting to Catholicism—studying and thinking about it—was “good for you.” And I came, eventually, to see that she was right…”
Sounds like he is in good hands. It’ll be fun to watch.

Whaat! How do you secure a roof from the INSIDE of a building, & while having nobody monitoring the exterior?!
Cheatle:
“That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof. And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside,” she said.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/secret-service-director-trump-rally-shooter-identified-potential-person-suspicion
What a freaking idiot. “Wouldn’t want to”. But if one “wants” to bad enough…
For starters, on the farm we occasionally had to climb steeply sloped roofs to repair wind damage or whatever.
Lame lame lame, more fake-facts idiocy than I can even try to deal with.
The building the two counter snipers was on had a sloped roof. Almost all roofs have a slope.
As if anybody asked her. That sounds like something a dummy from The View would say.
A SAFETY FACTOR??
I try to approach these things with an open mind.
But as more and more data points emerge, I am now convinced that the 20 year old was merely the patsy in all this.
Thankfully, this Government has gotten so incompetent that we dodged another Dallas by sheer millimeters. God intervened this time.
The FBI is scrambling to sanitize their latest failure.
It was “too hot” on the roof so they stayed inside. Hell of a job guys…pathetic, lazy, spoiled, cowards. Fire everyone of them NOW!
So the sniper pair that we saw on the left side of the stage paused because they expected to see the assassin’s “sloped roof” building to have friendlies on it. When they saw the assassin dressed in non-police/SWAT/SS attire they were unsure WTH was going on.
I get more and more disgusted as more and more information comes out.
That’s what I said yesterday. That maybe the guy had to ascertain who it was before he could shoot.
WTF? Weren’t the snipers that took the devil out on a sloped roof? 🤔🤔🤔
Oh geez. But they had snipers on the other building with a sloped roof. So who made the “decision … to secure the building from inside”?
Cheatle was selected by her friend Jill Biden. Jill Biden wants to retain power. Cheatle wants to keep her position. Almost all Trumps protective detail was pulled, most of whom went to protect Jill who needs no protection. The building used was inside the protective zone but excluded from protection. Much of the protective unit was inside the building used to attempt the assassination. They may have been stood down. We may be looking at an assassination attempt initiated by Jill Biden.
I would not be surprised if the job at Pepsi was a form of money-laundering or a political favor.
On “eliminating” the Deep State:
A very nice thought, but we will never be able to destroy it. Like racism, the DS is a force of evil. We can oppose it, contain it when feasible, slam the door on its nose when it openly reveals itself. But like evil, it is beyond humanity’s power to wipe out the DS completely.
Consider that despite all efforts over the past hundred years, there are more racists than ever, especially among younger adults and adolescents. The new breed, more hateful and openly destructive than the K!K.K ever was..
Same with the DS. It breeds and festers faster than we can kill it. Like cockroaches. We need to realize this, so that 10 or 20 years from now we won’t be discouraged by the fact that it’s still there.

Jack Black kicked out of Australia:
⚠️BREAKING – Jack Black CANCELS the rest of his Tenacious D tour; issues public apology after wishing Trump had been assassinated.
Jack Black: “Make a wish.”
Kyle Gass: “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
Black and his band mate Kyle Gass sparked outrage for an onstage exchange at a Sydney concert on Sunday, one day after Trump was shot.
In a public Instagram statement, Black said he was “blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday. I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form.”
The actor and musician added “I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold.”

I thought Rosie O’Donnell had grown a beard.
Personally I like that Black dude Congressman from FL. But he’s young and plenty of time for further grooming.
Oooops! did I use the wrong word grooming?
If you’re talking about Byron Donalds, I agree, he is exceptionally articulate. Exceptionally! And is serving beautifully in the House. His time will come.
Seems odd that the secret service sniper that shot Crooks has not been revealed or interviewed by the media.

EXCERPTS:
The new “turn down the temperature” game from the Democrats and Biden, of course.
This, after he and his surrogates have basically called anyone who they brand “MAGA” Hitler adherents and Trump, of course, has been branded Hitler himself, in fact they’ve run blended visages of the two. Then there’s Griffin who literally ran around with Trump’s severed head in her hand, in effigy of course, but that’s not “real”? Never mind that claiming someone, if elected, will end our Republic is moral justification for any act taken to prevent it, including violent acts. It stops just short of the line of advocating assassination but it certainly does morally justify it, assuming the speaker really believes it. Thus the obvious problem — if you stop those characterizations (and call for others to do so) were you lying then or are you lying now?
As Biden has said “c’mon man.”
It’s not every day that someone violently opposed to a candidate hands them an opportunity to show, under stress, the response that an enemy of the nation will get if they try to give us a bloody nose or worse and we’re still able to respond NO MATTER WHO IT IS THAT DOES IT. When that sort of thing happens sometimes the person wounded does cower under the desk, displaying weakness — and thus at best gets sympathy. But that’s not what happened this time — at all. Trump didn’t let them carry him out or low-crawl away like a scared rat. Nope; instead you got the equivalent of a one-finger salute to anyone who would pull that s***.
Trump’s response is exactly what 99% of the population thinks the response to that sort of event should be too and, in my opinion, that majority position is exactly correct.
I’m no fan of Trump as everyone who’s read this column for any length of time knows. But even I, in that instant, recognized that if the flag goes up this nation has to have a President who, even if bloodied and bleeding, will rise off the floor and say **** YOU to whoever did it, — and then go execute whatever has to be done.

And Another One Falls…
Karl Denninger
EXCERPTS:
Jack Smith’s appointment ruled unconstitutional and thus the indictment against Trump dismissed.
Note that Merrick Garland failed to answer on what authority under the Constitution said appointment was made before Congress. An act undertaken without authority, and Garland cited none, is not only void it’s malicious by definition.
There’s no law broken “per se” when you’re wrong but when you can’t point to the specific Statute or Constitutional basis on which you took an action then if said action is struck as unconstitutional that act was undertaken with actual malice as you refused to even put forward a theory upon which your act was appropriate and legal.
This is just another in a long line of acts of this general character that are blatantly unconstitutional and most of them go unchallenged because they either create huge classes of beneficiaries (e.g. DACA) and thus become politically very difficult to reverse even though they’re illegal or they create a nearly-impossible economic burden to obtain review and relief although blatantly unconstitutional (e.g. the attempted use of SarBox against the Jan 6 defendants.)
Both have now gone up in smoke but the question remains what deterrent effects now exists, and will exist in the future, to prevent a second or subsequent abuse? That question requires an answer.

@MattWalshBlog
Here’s the official story so far: a random 20 year old acting completely alone walked within 150 yards of a presidential campaign rally with a rifle, climbed onto a rooftop in full view of Secret Service snipers, set up his shot and fired without anyone intervening and with no help from anyone. This 20 year old is also so politically radical as to attempt an assassination and yet not radical enough to have ever posted any political writings or commentary on any social media site ever in his life. He also wrote no manifesto and left behind no indication about why he did it. His last and only political act, before attempting to kill the Republican candidate, was to register as a Republican. You must believe this and ask no questions about it or else you are a conspiracy theorist. And one thing we know about assassination attempts is that there’s never any conspiring involved.

Can someone explain to me,as really,I do not know,what god Harmeet Dhillion was praying to?
At the end of day one of the convention.
Ik Onkar – Wikipedia
“…the primal manifestation of the Godhead by which and in which all live, move and have their being”
Very interesting when compared to Acts 17:28…
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Why is it your business? There are many faiths and religions and that is what is great with this nation… we can pray to whatever Holy power we want.
I loved the inclusion last night. It was beautiful and a unifying message. There should be more faiths to come.
My business because my government.
I have a right to know who the people are that I support and what they believe.
Who invited this LOSER to the convention? He totally betrayed the UK people on BREXIT and many other conservative promises. He is one of the primary reasons the UK Conservative Party was demolished in the July 4th election.
Graham spent the weekend trying to convince Trump to reject Vance and pick a neocon. Having failed, Graham is now cynically trying to sidle up to Vance in the hopes he’ll be able to co-opt him into pushing neocon nonsense as VP.
