The American public want to know what happened, how it happened and the context for how an assassin was so easily able to get within 150 yards of President Donald Trump and take several shots, killing one and wounding several others – including President Trump.

Today, the Senate Homeland Security Committee will hold a hearing at 10:00 am EDT with U.S. Secret Service acting director Ronald Rowe and FBI deputy director Paul Abbate, to ask questions about the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.

In previous House testimony given by FBI Director Chris Wray, he was curiously willing to answer specific questions about the ongoing investigation and the discoveries therein. A substantive change in approach against the backdrop of his years of obfuscation. That said, Wray’s responses were not always factually accurate. Acting Director Ronald Rowe and FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate have not yet answered questions and specific lines of congressional inquiry.

The senate hearing begins at 10:00am with livestream links below:

[Via PBS} – […] FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress last week that on July 6, the day Crooks registered to attend the Trump rally, he googled: “How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?” That’s a reference to Lee Harvey Oswald, the shooter who killed President John F. Kennedy from a sniper’s perch in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.

New details, meanwhile, were emerging about law enforcement security lapses and missed communications that preceded the shooting.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, released text messages from members of the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit that showed how local officers had communicated with each other about a suspicious-behaving man who turned out to be Crooks lurking around more than an hour before the shooting.

One text just before 4:30 p.m. describes a man “sitting to the direct right on a picnic table about 50 yards from the exit.”

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.”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

The tit-for-tat will take place in the open, yet few will pay attention. We do.

You have to take this announcement in full context: (1) Sanctions against Russia failed.  (2) NATO expanded, creating more provocation. (3) NATO pledged Ukraine NATO membership.  (4) Biden then pledged new long-range missiles will be located in Germany in 2026 able to reach all of Russia. (5) Russia sailed a nuclear submarine into Cuba; and (6) Yesterday, Vladimir Putin pledged to put nuclear weapons close to the USA (likely Cuba) if Biden puts long-range missiles in Germany.

OK, that’s the escalation timeline.  That’s the lead up to this next announcement.

The people behind Joe Biden just told congress they are expanding the nuclear weapon arsenal in the U.K and Europe [White House Announcement]; presumably for use against Russia.  Now ask yourself what you think Vladimir Putin will do next.

WHITE HOUSE – […] The Amendment’s revisions to Article II(B) of the 1958 Agreement clarify that these same types of information may be exchanged related to atomic weapons, including special nuclear materials properties and production or processing technology, as is determined necessary to improve the recipient’s atomic weapon design, development, or fabrication capability.

President Donald Trump sat down for an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham to discuss current political events.

Ingraham can quickly slip into the mode of telling Donald Trump what the current political events are; however, Mrs Hannity did pause her interruptions long enough to allow President Trump to articulate his side of her arguments. WATCH:

.

It’s a little funny because President Trump doesn’t like Mrs Hannity (you can see it).

Against the backdrop of a recent assassination attempt against Donald Trump, during remarks to the press pool in Austin, Texas, Joe Biden says House Speaker Mike Johnson is “dead on arrival.”  [White House Transcript]

It sounds like the team behind Joe Biden have another target.

Q    Speaker Johnson said it’s “dead on arrival.”

BIDEN:  I think that’s what he is. 

Q    That he is?

BIDEN:  That he is — dead on arrival.

President Biden was just asked on the tarmac about Speaker Johnson calling his Supreme Court reform “dead on arrival.” “That’s what he is,” Biden said. Asked for clarification, a reporter shouted, “That he is?” Biden responded: “He is. Dead on arrival.” pic.twitter.com/kEOV2y21Yi

I’m sure the media would just brush this off if the scenario was reversed and President Trump said this. /sarc

We are not going to play the insufferable game of pretending.  The stakes are just too high.  Today, the White House deployed a cover story for the assembly that accompanied Joe Biden to Austin, Texas.

As the story is told, the event was rescheduled from July 15th until today.  However, the untold part is the major medical incident, the fall in Las Vegas, actually being the disruption covered by the COVID diagnosis.

That said, and in the interests of our upcoming election the second part of the cover-story is even more pertinent.  MEDIA: “Joe Biden travels to Austin, Texas, for an appearance at the LBJ Presidential Library to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act.”  NON-PRETENDING AMERICANS: Uh, huh. An anniversary (key word) celebration that can be postponed willy nilly, causing the venue to stop the event, send everyone home, and reschedule just for Biden.  🙄  Get it?

So, what was this cover-story for?  Well, check out the AirForce1 attendees:

Al Sharpton (MSNBC), James Clyburn (SC), Chris Coons (DE), Raphael Warnock (GA) and Steven Horsford (NV). A coalition of allies in the 2024 ballot assembly and scanning system. Additionally, Alex Padilla (CA), Chuck Robb (VA), Nanette Barragan (CA-44) and Veronica Escobar (TX-16). If you want a citation on the media presentation – SEE HERE (scroll read).

Intellectually honest political followers can clearly see the race-based political assembly was a meeting to discuss 2024 ballot harvesting and precinct ballot scanning operations, using the “civil rights” trip as a cover for their assembly.

Two reference points for the dog that didn’t bark.

(1) Not a single, not one – ever, joint press conference by investigative authorities of the Secret Service, DHS, FBI, Local SWAT and State Police. Not a single press conference, to update and reassure the American public.  WHY NOT?

(2) Not a single interview with the family of Thomas Matthew Crooks (20). No media satellite trucks camped outside the residence. No man-on-street efforts, nothing. WHY NOT?

The United States Government led by Joe Biden, in combination with the IC, DHS, FBI and their media cohorts, want this failed effort, dismissed, diminished and forgotten.

Take from those two empirical and factual datapoints what you will. Trust your instincts.

Today, the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Mike Johnson and Hakeem Jeffries, announced they are assembling a “Task Force,” top men, to investigate the attempted assassination of President Donald J Trump. [Politico]

WASHINGTON – Speaker Mike Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries rolled out members of a bipartisan task force Monday to investigate the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

“We have the utmost confidence in this bipartisan group of steady, highly qualified, and capable Members of Congress to move quickly to find the facts, ensure accountability, and help make certain such failures never happen again,” Johnson and Jeffries said in a joint statement.

The task force will be led by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.), who represents Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of the shooting at a campaign rally.
