The alligator emojis are all giddy claiming Top Gov DeSantis, has kicked the feds out of Florida and taken custody of Ryan Wesley Routh.  Apparently, the rumors of Ron DeSantis starting a state-level independent investigation has led the DeSantis supporters to believe Ron is doing something.  However, there’s no truth to any of it.

FACTS: Asked in a press conference today about the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump, the Florida governor told the media he had not talked to President Trump; however, he did expect an announcement to be “forthcoming” that Florida will investigate the events of the assassination attempt.  The announcement will come sometime later on.  Here’s the answer.  WATCH: 

.

Ryan Wesley Routh was placed in the custody of the FBI immediately after his arrest last evening.  Routh appeared in federal court today, where he is charged with federal gun charges.

Politico – […] In court papers filed Monday morning, an FBI agent alleged that Routh started staking out Trump’s golf course at about 2 a.m. on Sunday. Twelve hours later, as Trump was golfing, a Secret Service agent walking the course’s perimeter saw Routh’s semi-automatic rifle poking through the fence surrounding the course. The agent fired at him and Routh fled. He was later arrested by local law enforcement and has been charged by federal prosecutors with gun crimes. (more)

Martin County Sheriff William Snyder gave a press briefing earlier today and at a certain point was asked some specifics about the attempted shooter/assassin Ryan Routh and his connection to the area.

At 11:25 of the video below, Sheriff Snyder instinctively has two general baseline questions: (1) How did the assassin, from outside the area, know exactly where to be in order to have the opportunity to shoot President Trump; and (2) Did Ryan Rough act alone, or was he part of a supportive conspiracy to assassinate President Trump.  WATCH (prompted):

.

I think it is fair to say that we all view the use of the FBI in this investigation with great trepidation.

Given the long and extensive history of the modern, highly, intensely political, FBI as a weaponized agency of the federal government, there is zero faith or trust in their institutional ability to conduct a genuine investigation.   This is not a comfortable thing to accept or admit, but unfortunately there is no other intellectually honest reference point from which to generate optimism.

Sheriff Snyder repeatedly defers all elements of the ongoing investigation to the FBI.  However, on the positive side all of the information that is inside the control of the local law enforcement is being shared with the public; it’s the feds that are the problem.

CTH has sources within the system on a local and state level. Prayers for President Trump, the entire Trump family and organization, along with our entire nation, continue.

From his campaign website, President Trump outlines the receipts of democrats and media calling for political violence against him. The details and citations outlined are quite alarming. Threats have consequences, and Donald Trump is saying “enough.”

[DONALD J TRUMP] Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump was the target of a second assassination attempt in as many months.

Thankfully, the would-be assassin was stopped by the heroic action of law enforcement — but make no mistake, this psycho was egged on by the rhetoric and lies that have flowed from Kamala Harris, Democrats, and their Fake News allies for years.

Democrats used increasingly incendiary rhetoric against President Trump in the days, weeks, and months leading up to the two assassination attempts:

• Kamala Harris — repeatedly: “Trump is a threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms.”
• Kamala Harris: “It’s on us to recognize the threat [Trump] poses.”
• Kamala Harris: “Does one of us have to come out alive? Ha ha ha ha!”
• Joe Biden: “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
• Joe Biden: “I mean this from the bottom of my heart: Trump is a threat to this nation.”
• Joe Biden: “There is one existential threat: it’s Donald Trump.”
• Joe Biden: “Trump is a genuine threat to this nation … He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for.”
• Joe Biden: “Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country.”
• Joe Biden: “Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic … and that is a threat to this country.”
• Tim Walz: “Are [Republicans] a threat to democracy? Yes. … Are they going to put peoples’ lives in danger? Yes.”
• Gwen Walz: “Buh-bye, Donald Trump.”
• Rep. Nancy Pelosi: “[Trump] is a threat to our democracy of the kind that we have not seen.”
• Rep. Jasmine Crockett: “MAGA in general — they are threats to us domestically.”
• Rep. Dan Goldman: “He is destructive to our democracy and …  he has to be eliminated.”
• Disgraced Harris staffer TJ Ducklo: “Trump is an existential, urgent threat to our democracy.”
• Top Harris surrogate Liz Cheney: “Trump presents a fundamental threat to the republic and we are seeing it on a daily basis.”
• Rep. Steve Cohen: “Trump is an enemy of the United States.”
• Rep. Maxine Waters: “Are [Trump supporters] preparing a civil war against us?”
• Rep. Maxine Waters: “I want to know about all of those right-wing organizations that [Trump] is connected with who are training up in the hills somewhere.”
• Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Trump is an “existential threat to our democracy.”
• Rep. Adam Schiff: Trump is the “gravest threat to our democracy.”
• Rep. Gregory Meeks: “Trump cannot be president again. He’s an existential threat to democracy.”
• Rep. Dan Goldman: “Trump remains the greatest threat to our democracy.”
• Rep. Jake Auchincloss: “What unifies us as a party is knowing that Donald Trump is an existential threat to Democracy.”
• Rep. Abigail Spanberger: “Trump is a threat to our democracy … the threats to our democratic republic are real.”
• Rep. Annie Kuster: “Trump and his extreme right-wing followers pose an existential threat to our democracy.”
• Rep. Becca Balint: “We cannot underestimate the threat [Trump] poses to American democracy.”
• Rep. Jason Crow: “Trump is an extreme danger to our democracy.”
• Rep. Raul Grijalva: “Trump is an existential threat to American democracy.”
• Sen. Michael Bennet: Trump is “a threat to our democracy.”
• Rep. Stacey Plaskett: Trump “needs to be shot.”
• Rep. Steven Horsford: “Trump Republicans are a dangerous threat to our state.”
• Rep. Gabe Vasquez: “Remove the national threat from office.”
• Rep. Mike Levin: “Donald Trump is a threat to our nation, our freedom, and our democracy.”
• Rep. Eric Sorensen: “He is the greatest threat to law and order we have in our country.”
• Rep. Greg Landsman: “The threat is not over.”
• Rep. Pat Ryan: “Trump is an existential threat to American democracy.”
• Rick Wilson, The Lincoln Project: “They’re still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.”
• Former Harris-Biden staffer Kate Bedingfield: Democrats should “turn their fire on Donald Trump.”

That doesn’t even include the dangerous rhetoric against President Trump spewed by deranged Democrats during the 2016 and 2020 elections, the impeachment hoaxes, and the Summer of Love.

The Martin County Sheriffs’ office has promised to release all the information around the Trump assassination attempt in Florida to the public.  This morning the sheriff’s office released the body cam footage from the arrest of Ryan Wesley Routh.

According to new information, suspect Ryan Routh spent almost 12 hours lying in wait for the former president at his golf course, according to court documents. Ryan Wesley Routh took up position at the Trump International Golf Course in Florida just before 2am on Sunday, officials said, citing data from the 58-year-old’s mobile phone. He camped at the spot, where he was concealed in the tree line, with food and an assault rifle until 1:31pm, when he was allegedly spotted by President Trump’s security team and fled in a black Nissan without opening fire.

Ryan Routh was arrested on I-95 as he fled the area.  The body camera footage released shows his arrest. WATCH:

The full briefing video is below.  There are also preliminary pictures of the suspect.  I would note the nervousness of the FBI agent in charge.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw: Secret Service was able to spot a rifle sticking out of the bushes and fired on the suspect some 300-400 yards away.

In the bushes where the suspect ran from, the Secret Service or law enforcement found an AK-47-style rifle with a scope, 2 backpacks that had ceramic tile at them, and a GoPro for taking photos.

Bradshaw also says he has photos of everything that they will release. Bradshaw: “Fortunately, we were able to locate a witness that came to us and said, “Hey, I saw the guy running out of the bushes, he jumped into a black Nissan, and I took a picture of the vehicle and the tags, which was great.” Said the Secret Service agent who spotted this and opened fire did a “fantastic job.”

The main point is that President Trump is okay and was not injured by gunfire that took place near his location at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.  Details are freshly coming through.

UPDATE:  “ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION”  A man with an AK-style rifle pointed the firearm’s muzzle into Donald Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, as the former president was playing a round, prompting the U.S. Secret Service to open fire, according to three law enforcement officials. (More AP Details Below)

The former president is safe and unharmed, and the FBI says it is investigating “what appears to be an attempted assassination” of the Republican presidential candidate.

The person dropped the weapon and fled in an SUV, and was later taken into custody in a neighboring county, the officials said. The officials were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

An AK-style firearm was recovered at the scene near Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach, two of the officials said. And no injuries were reported.

Yesterday, Acting Director of the U.S. Secret Service, Ronald Rowe, briefed members of the House and Senate about the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.

Following the briefing Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn), told reporters that lawmakers “will have a report very, very soon that I think will absolutely shock the American people about the lapses and lags in protection that was afforded that day and the breakdown in communication, failure and responsibility.” Apparently, the USSS is going to use the ‘mistakes were made‘ justification for the failures in protection. WATCH:

(WASHINGTON DC) – Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe spoke with members of both the House and Senate in closed sessions Thursday to discuss the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Rowe briefed members in both chambers about the agency’s interim report examining the USSS’s security lapses that led to a gunman being able to scale a nearby building and open fire on Trump, just minutes into his rally.

The population of Springfield, Ohio was 59,000 just before Joe Biden and Kamala Harris sent 15,000 Haitian migrants there.  Now, with 25% of the community throwing juju bones, eating cats, dogs, swans, geese and pond ducks’ things have become sketchy.

Corporate media have been saying there is no truth to the issues raised by Springfield residents.  However, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has now announced he is sending state troopers to assist in the new crime wave plaguing the community.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The governor of Ohio will send law enforcement and millions of dollars in healthcare resources to the city of Springfield as it faces a surge in temporary Haitian migrants that has landed it in the national spotlight.

Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Tuesday he doesn’t oppose the Temporary Protected Status program under which some 15,000 Haitians have arrived in the city of about 59,000 people since 2020, but said the federal government must do more to help impacted communities.

Senator Tom Cotton appears on the CNN show State of The Union with Dana Bash.  Apparently, the joint U.S. State Dept./CNN production team in control of setting election year objectives have decided to resuscitate the “Russia, Russia, Russia” election conspiracy.

After an initial question about Liz and Dick Cheney endorsing Kamala Harris, CNN host Dana Bash then spent the next several minutes questioning Tom Cotton about reports that Russia is funding various alternative information podcasters and pundits.

Perhaps by now everyone should know the Russian government laugh at how the U.S. media push the ridiculous accusations about Russian interference.  The Russians know how to snark toward the U.S. government as controlled by Democrats.  This insufferable election interference narrative gives the Moscow gremlins a lot of smiles, as they look upon the proverbial western media selling a story that to them is quite funny.

Senator Cotton does a good job refuting the claims by CNN; however, it is worthwhile remembering that outside of the USA the majority of the world look upon CNN as the “state news” distribution for Washington DC.  The propagandists questioning Senator Cotton about propaganda is a case study in gaslighting and the manipulation of information.  WATCH:
