According to the New York Post, the assassin who tried to kill President Donald J Trump was Thomas Matthew Crooks, age 20 from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.

The FBI Pittsburg field office is in charge of the investigation.  However, as with all high-profile domestic terror attacks, shootings and killings that directly impact the “peace and tranquility” we can expect the DOJ-CRS to take over the information pipeline.

The FBI is officially calling the shooting an “attempted assassination attempt.  The motive is undetermined.

(New York Post) – The gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump Saturday was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, sources told The Post.

Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pa., squeezed off shots — one of which grazed Trump in the ear — at an outdoor rally in Butler, just outside Pittsburgh. Sources said Crooks was was planted on a roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at Butler Farm Show grounds. (read more)

In the immediate aftermath of being shot in the ear, ultimately not knowing his physical disposition at the time, and from deep within the core instinctive nature of President Donald John Trump, his first reaction was to raise a fist and shout, “FIGHT – FIGHT – FIGHT“!

…Deserve This!

.

Dear God, we come before You to seek Your protection.  Strengthen President Donald John Trump with the power of Your righteous might. Dress him in Your armor so that he can stand firm against the schemes of the evil that seeks his downfall. We know his struggle, like ours, is not simply against flesh and blood; but against evil manifest, against the powers that corrupt man, against the world forces of those who succumb to darkness, against spiritual forces of wickedness and malevolence. 

You are President Trump’s keeper, O Lord. You are the shade on his right hand. Protect him from all forms of evil and keep his soul safe. We beg Your might to guard his voice, his going out, his coming in and his steadfast determination to protect his flock.

Lord God, we thank You for Your outcome today, and humbly ask for Your angels to continue standing guard in his path.  We plead for Your perfect wing to continue forming the perfect shield.  From this moment and forever until the end of our capacity, we pray for Your protection. In Jesus’ name.

Amen.

I’m not going to narrate what you can witness with your own eyes and ears.  The camera lens is pointed toward two U.S Secret Service protective detail snipers on the roof behind President Trump. One is the spotter. Turn on sound.  You can clearly see both USSS spot the shooter, do nothing, wait for the incoming fire, then respond.

Again, video might not last. WATCH:

Can anyone explain this sniper’s reaction? It looked like he couldn’t believe what he was seeing…….pic.twitter.com/mHvc4Ib2GB

An eyewitness gave a statement to BBC news, very angry about why nothing was done by secret service to secure a specific area.

The eyewitness describes watching the shooter carry a long rifle onto a barn roof. The eyewitness alerted police; no immediate action was taken.  The eyewitness grew frustrated with police and secret service. The eyewitness saw the gunman prepare in position for 2 to 3 minutes before shooting 5 shots at President Donald Trump. The eyewitness saw law enforcement then engage and kill the shooter.

President Donald Trump has survived an assassination attempt.  Several shots were fired, one bullet appears to have clipped the right ear of President Trump.  The President is OK!

As secret service rushed the stage and blood began flowing from his head, President Trump stood, raised his right hand in a fist pump and shouted:

…”FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!”

President Trump was immediately rushed to medical treatment.   Disturbing video.

♦ The shooter is dead. ♦ One Trump supporter bystander is also dead; suffered headshot. ♦ Eye witness watched shooter crawl into position on barn roof. Alerted police. Nothing was done. Eyewitness video below.

For those who still think a possibility exists of Joe Biden taking the nomination from the 2024 Democrat Convention, just stop.  There is no way for Joe Biden to be the nominee with this scale of democrats pushing him out.

President Trump doesn’t have to spend a dime. There is so much anti-Biden publicity from within his own party, no further criticism is needed.  The donors are blasting Biden, Hollywood is blasting Biden, the delegates to the convention and party officials are blasting him; the list is very long.  Biden is toast.

It is important to remember, however, that what we are witnessing is not some random sequence of events as an outcome of a debate; this is a well-coordinated, organized and top-down constructed removal operation that was long in the planning {SEE HERE}.  Joe Biden was always going to be removed and replaced at the DNC convention in Chicago.  Do not be distracted from this fundamental baseline, this was the plan.

The latest voice to join the chorus of those isolating, ridiculing and marginalizing the figurehead of their party, is Bill Maher.  WATCH:

.

I don’t know the specifics of how they are going to do it, but Biden will not be the nominee at the conclusion of the convention.  The floor is open for his replacement, who will then select a VP running mate.   That’s what is most likely to happen.  That’s what we said in 2022 and 2023, and remains the greatest likelihood today.

A new nominee should, and will, select their VP running mate.  That is how they dispatch Kamala. It’s not complicated.

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.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

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 †
