There were a lot of political and campaign soundbites generated by the testimony, non-testimony, of Secret Service Direct Kimberly Cheatle today; however, one exchange between Cheatle and Representative Raja Krishnamoorhi is worth reviewing.

Congressman Krishnamoorthi plays a video in front of Cheatle showing people in the crowd pointing to the shooter and shouting at law enforcement.  Krishnamoorthi then take the opportunity to ask follow-up questions. WATCH (prompted):

Today, the House Oversight Committee [aka ‘Chaff and Countermeasures Committee] is questioning Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, on the “Oversight of the U.S. Secret Service and the Attempted Assassination of President Donald J. Trump.”

Director Cheatle is under fire for the catastropic, almost deadly, failures to provide security to President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Republicans are using the opportunity of Cheatle’s appearance to find answers about the events.  Cheatle is not expected to remain in office as the transition from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris happens in the White House.

The hearing starts at 10:00am ET with Livestream Links Below:

A few datapoints are starting to align in a specific direction. Let’s look at the data, then see if a possibility holds merit.

(1) Barack Obama did not endorse Kamala Harris. Given Obama’s distain from ever being on the losing side of anything, the implication is that Kamala likely doesn’t have what it takes to win. The Lightbringer preferring to relish the role of nominee Kingmaker at the Chicago convention, in combination with his massive ego, aligns with this likelihood. Meanwhile, (2) Gavin Newsom does endorse Kamala Harris. Given Newsom’s career ambitions, this decision appears to be looking toward 2028.

Both datapoints would seem to indicate the professional wing of the leftist operation view the November election as an exercise in futility. However, with bets being hedged, that’s not the end of the play. Now we look closer at the position of Biden.

(Via Politico) – […] Steve Ricchetti, who’s been with Biden since his days in the Senate, drove to see the president at his house on the Delaware shore on Friday. Mike Donilon arrived on Saturday. The two men, both of whom had been by Biden’s side during key decisions about whether to seek the presidency in 2016 and 2020, sat at a distance from the president, still testing positive for Covid, and presented damning new information in a meeting that would hasten the end of Biden’s political career.

In addition to presenting new concerns from lawmakers and updates on a fundraising operation that had slowed considerably, they carried the campaign’s own polls, which came back this week and showed his path to victory in November was gone. (read more)

(3) The Biden campaign was not going to have money, and, regardless of funds, the polling indicated it was a futile effort.  Trump was going to crush Biden.  This point highlights and supports points #1 and #2, the positions of Obama and Newsom.

(4) Later in the day, Frank Biden, Joe’s younger brother, indicates to CBS that Joe Bidens health is deteriorating quickly.  This is the first admission that Joe Biden’s “health” was a major consideration.  When talking about Joe, Frank’s specific phrase, “to enjoy whatever time we have left” speaks volumes.

This is almost too much fun to watch unfold.  It was always going to be thus.

President Obama releases a statement praising the decision of Joe Biden but holding back from an endorsement of Kamala Harris.  Instead, the Lightbringer wants to let the party process play out in Chicago.  [Imagine that /sarc.]

President Obama – […]  We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges. I believe that Joe Biden’s vision of a generous, prosperous, and united America that provides opportunity for everyone will be on full display at the Democratic Convention in August. And I expect that every single one of us are prepared to carry that message of hope and progress forward into November and beyond.

For now, Michelle and I just want to express our love and gratitude to Joe and Jill for leading us so ably and courageously during these perilous times — and for their commitment to the ideals of freedom and equality that this country was founded on. (more)

Team Clinton endorses Kamala.  Team Obama does not.

Team Clyburn doesn’t have a choice, she’s black.

Here we go again. Place your bets. Remember, Team Obama has home field advantage.

lol Too much fun!

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson appears on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo and reveals some stunning information.

At 4:27 of the video, Johnson outlines how a mystery man in a suit instructed law enforcement to send pictures of deceased Thomas Matthew Crooks to a phone number presumably connected to the ATF.  There’s a lot of odd stuff in this interview. Including Crooks being photographed at 5:10pm a full hour prior to President Trump’s arrival. {Direct Rumble Link Here} WATCH:

Not surprisingly, a few people viewed my research presentation of JD Vance through a prism of negativity. [SEE HERE] We have many new readers who are not as in-tune with the details of how the bad parts of the DC surveillance state work.  So, let me take you behind the scenes a little and expand for context.

Nothing written about the data set, the facts within the JD Vance storyline, is incorrect.  Everything is cited, accurate and factually true. However, when you get into the intent and consequence part, that’s when people start to become emotional.  Some clarity is needed.

Commenter Freedom Ring provides a good example.  FR says, “JD has an association with Theil [sp?] & Musk; this could be worded to be a positive or negative, but the article paints it as a negative.”

This is correct. The research article positions the relationship between JD Vance and Peter Thiel as a serious challenge, here’s why.

Since his original endorsement of Donald Trump in 2016, a good thing, billionaire tech executive Peter Thiel has expanded his company, Palantir Technology, to be the leading edge of a data-processing system.  The Palantir tech is designed to use artificial intelligence (AI) to crawl through massive sets of surveillance data, phone data, facial recognition data, metadata (writ large) etc.

In essence Palantir Tech is receiving government contracts (Defense and Intel) to use the Palantir AI tools to analyze/filter a massive amount of electronic data, and take action based on results from the data, or what might be called SIGNIT (Signals Intelligence).  There are billions at stake in this relationship.

In short, Thiel has a vested financial interest in providing AI surveillance filtration tools to the U.S. government.

Ok fine. That’s just a simple acceptance of what Thiel’s company does now. And Thiel recruited JD Vance back in 2012/2013 while at Yale law school, and personally financed JD’s entry into the world of politics in 2020/2021.  I won’t repeat all the citations but suffice to say, without Thiel there is no Senator/VP Vance.  Thiel leveraged his relationship with Donald Trump to get JD Vance the Ohio primary endorsement in 2022, and the rest is history.  Fair enough. Nothing disputed.

Here’s where things get sticky….

Thiel’s company Palantir Tech provides the AI metadata analytic tools used by the U.S. government in their national security efforts.  The government access to that metadata comes, in part, as an outcome of the legislative FISA authorization.  As a consequence, eliminating, say… FISA(702) surveillance processes, is against the financial interests of Peter Thiel.  If the U.S. government cannot access the dataset, the U.S. govt doesn’t need Palantir’s AI filtration tech.  That’s just the nature of the relationship.

It sounds like President Trump might have a few questions also.

During an interview with Fox News host, Jesse Watters, President Trump says he had no idea there was a threat at the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally venue when he went on stage. [Tweet Embed Video]

Even though they KNEW there was a threat, no one told Trump not to take the stage.

The biggest question inside the investigation of the Trump assassination attempt, is the thing no one has mentioned.  Why have there been no daily press briefings?

♦ Where are the official 10:00am press briefing updates every day on the investigation?

♦ Where are the official press conferences from the Secret Service, FBI and law enforcement answering questions and providing information from the prior days investigative results?

♦ Where are the organized and official updates to let the American people know what has been found out about the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump?

The absence of official press briefings has been the dog that didn’t bark.

Instead, the Secret Service, FBI and Law Enforcement have been selectively leaking details, testing what would be and would not be accepted, and we have only seen controlled snippets of information.

Much of the information within those leaks has been lies, sometimes absurd in their construct, pushed through a generally incurious media.

Smart people have noted the absence of the official public information process indicates something very sketchy in the background. [ie. the dog that didn’t bark]

The attempted assassination of President Trump is a big deal; perhaps one of the biggest events in recent history. There is massive public interest.

If ordinary procedures and protocols were being followed, we would have official daily updates at scheduled press conferences, and the media would be able to present questions based on presented information.  The absence of these press briefings told us something that is not good.  But perhaps today, we find out why.

The Washington Post is now running a story saying Secret Service security requests were repeatedly denied by top government officials.
