Josh Hawley: Whistleblowers Tell Me That Kim Cheatle Sent the C-Team to "Protect" Trump, Some of the "Agents" Weren't Even Secret Service at All

Happy Preekend everybody!

I've been off the computer until now, resting my eyes. I did most of today's posts during Trump's somewhat long speech.

I noticed in his speech, he gets annoyed having to read other people's written lines, so after every line he reads from the teleprompter, he then offers asides and digressions to add his personal flava to it.

Like he read: "From Yorktown, to Antietam, to Midway, brave Americans have joined the roll call of immortal heroes."

And that's obviously not Trump's way of speaking.

Then he turns to the audience and freestyles it: "These heroes, these heroes. So many heroes, so many. We need to cherish them. We need to cherish these heroes. Did you ever notice that? No one says 'cherish these heroes' any longer, no one says that. We need to build statues. Beautiful statues. I love the flag."

Then he goes back to the script for a line.

That's why it was so long -- the script itself was about 45 minutes long, and then his asides were just as long.

Anyway, good speech at the beginning and at the end, a bit soggy in the middle.

ABC's hysterical hyperpartisan Martha Raddatz claimed Trump should have ended his speech after the beginning, when he talked about the assassination. She said he then spoke about nothing but his "grievances."

By "grievances," she means his criticisms of the Democrat Administration. Martha Raddatz thinks that any criticism of Democrats is definitionally just a petty "grievance."

Which is funny, because all Democrat "politics" are are a series of grievances. The feminists are angry that Girlboss isn't a real position in the workforce, and that men continue not automatically deferring to them when they speak "their truth." Leftwing racialists complain that they have "generational trauma" and still feel the oppression their grandparents suffered, somehow. Gays and trans people complain that they haven't been properly embraced and affirmed yet.

But when Trump talks about 13 Americans being killed by Biden's disastrous bug-out, or about inflation reducing everyone's real wealth by 20%, that's just "grievance" politics, according to this wrinkled-ass Skeletor-face twunt.

On to the latest "hmmmm" tidbit about the corrupt and incompetent (and possibly treasonous?) Deep State.

The Deep State will be purged, and it will be glorious.

And after they are purged, they will of course become agents of foreign governments and not bother registering as such, and then we can imprison them.

Amen.

BREAKING: Senator Josh Hawley says whistleblowers have come forward, alleges the Biden DHS assigned "unprepared and inexperienced personnel" to Trump who weren't even Secret Service.

"Whistleblowers who have direct knowledge of the event have approached my office. According to the allegations, the July 13 rally was considered to be a loose' security event," Hawley said in a letter to Mayorkas.

"For example, detection canines were not used to monitor entry and detect threats in the usual manner. Individuals without proper designations were able to gain access to backstage areas."

"Department personnel did not appropriately police the security buffer around the podium and were also not stationed at regular intervals around the event's security perimeter."

"In addition, whistleblower allegations suggest the majority of DHS officials were not in fact USSS agents but instead drawn from the department's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)."

"This is especially concerning given that HSI agents were unfamiliar with standard protocols typically used at these types of events, according to the allegations."

We. Need. The Purge.

More: It appears more and more likely that the claims Biden was planning to withdraw on Sunday were an entirely fabricated by the Deep State Coup faction that manufactured hoax after hoax to drive Trump out of office.

We need a reckoning.

Aside: Have no noticed no one has a reckoning any longer? Reckonings can be beautiful, so so beautiful. One day America was a land of dreams and reckonings. Beautiful children would ask their grandmas, "Gam-gam, may we have a reckoning today?" Make America Reckon Again. Everyone should drive a truck.

Back to the script:

Jonathan Martin
@jmart

New Biden statement suggests: he stickin'

"I look forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week to continue exposing the threat of Donald Trump's Project 2025 agenda while making the case for my own record and the vision that I have for America: one where we save our democracy, protect our rights and freedoms, and create opportunity for everyone.

"The stakes are high, and the choice is clear. Together, we will win."

Senator Chris Coons is back on Team Ridin' with Biden.


Chris Coons
@ChrisCoonsforDE

I fully support the President. He's told me he's in it to win it. I'm with him 100% because I know he can beat Trump just like he did last time.

sitzkernestkywasthekey.jpg

And the new CBS "News" poll puts Trump up by 5.

When former President Donald Trump accepts the Republican nomination Thursday night, he'll do so with his largest national lead over President Biden in the campaign thus far.

A slight majority, including some who aren't voting for him, say Trump's words in the days since the assassination attempt have been more unifying than divisive. Voters feel the same way about Mr. Biden's response to the tragic events, too.

54% say he's been more unifying, 46% say more divisive. We know who that 46% are -- the deadenders, the BlueAnon Ear Truthers.

That's not a "slight" majority, CBS "News."

But it is Trump with the growing advantage in the vote. Trump is up five points nationally now, and three across the key battleground states. To put that national lead in context: it's been 20 years since a Republican presidential candidate has won the national popular vote, and over 30 years since a Republican won by more than five.


The race across the battlegrounds moved one point more toward Trump today since we surveyed the battlegrounds last week.

Does anyone smell eighty-five million votes? For real this time?


He leads Biden 52-47 nationally, and 51-48 in the battleground states.

Which doesn't sound right -- usually the Republican leads more in the battleground states than nationally.


For voters, Trump's perceived handling of the assassination attempt is a net-positive reason to consider voting for him, but that effect is limited overall; for two-thirds, it has not changed their consideration calculus either way.

Of the candidates atop the party tickets, Trump is the one more voters feel fights "a lot" for people like them.

37% say Trump fights for people like them, only 28% say that of Biden.


Amid the nomination debate on the Democratic side, Trump also leads Vice President Kamala Harris in a hypothetical matchup. There are at best marginal differences in how she and Mr. Biden currently run among demographic groups, such as younger voters and voters of color.

He leads her nationally 51-48.

..


There is a bipartisan view -- though particularly among Republicans -- that the U.S. Secret Service could have done more to prevent the shooting on Saturday.

No duh. A "slight majority" of 75% think they could have done more, while 25% think they did a good job because the entire "assassination" was staged.


Although I agree that polls are trash in one way -- they have systematically underestimated Republican support, and especially Trump support -- that doesn't mean they're worthless. We can guess that most polls will understate Republican support by 3-5 points, and Trump support by 6-7 points.

So if a poll has Trump up five -- well, you do the math.

Aside: Math is beautiful, beautiful numbers. I remember watching Sesame Street when I was younger, where I learned to be kind to people and that monsters are our friends. Do you ever notice, we're not making monsters anymore in America? All the monster production is in Chy-na. Chy-na's opening huge monster making factories in Mexico. We've got to bring those good-paying monster-making jobs back to America. Make American Monsters Again. Hulk Hogan is a golden-haired angel coated in saintly engine oil.

39 As I keep saying, the Deep State sent in the Junior Varsity Scrimmage Team.

And somehow the assassin knew he could act with impunity. (apparently his handlers didn't tell him about blowing off his head to cut loose-ends -OOPS! Oopsie!)

Do we ever hear of assassins routinely being rounded up at Trump rallies? Stopping people from coming in with range finders? Dogs digging up previously staged "assault rifles"?

But all of a sudden, all of these planets aligned and it was pure coincidence that a fuck-up assassin got his chance to do a lay-up shot and demonstrated the Hand of God thwarting the Deep State/DNC/WEF/Davos/Kalorama plans.

BTW…. Hawley is way behind it seems to me. I’m getting to be a conspiracy nutter I guess because I saw a YT video today. The guy analyzes the audio and timing of the sonic boom / reports of the bullets, along with echoes. He had to make some assumptions but from the audio it’s pretty clear that Crooks didn’t fire all 8 (or 9) shots…. There was a second spitter (er… shooter) and it wasn’t Roger McDowell…. Even to the naked ear, the last 5 shots sound different than the first 3.

Maybe I need to take a cognitive test….

135 Helena: "green flag" was a term Vox Day cooked up, to replace "false flag". It was (still is) VD's thought that Netanyahu, faced with protests against his constitutional proposals at home, deliberately scuppered the usual security measures along the Gaza border. Vox Day presumes that Gazans are a pack of animals with no agency so would naturally react to an open border as a go-ahead signal.
I dislike Bibi and agree that most Gazans are mentally ill at best, so I find that theory intriguing, although Israel having been just plain distracted is more likely.
I think the "green flag" theory holds up better still for Cheatle.

Two: Let's just say there is a marksman that can make that shot. Well, he, or she, wouldn't try it, because shooting 101 is: be aware of what's behind what you're shooting at.

He mentions the guy on twitter who did an audio analysis that I discussed in an earlier thread. That guy is all wet and his analysis that concludes there were 2 or 3 gunmen is dangerously inept. In short, he says the bullet could not have hit Trump and then the railing unless it was fired from the window below the roof, but he does not know the height of the railing, or elevation difference of the building.
He also claims the second grouping of 5 shots sound different, but only based on a cell phone video that is far away and is moving and picking up new reflections for the second grouping. The guy is an idiot and I just want to get out there that he is making mistakes before the Right goes all "fire can't melt steel" on this.

He fell, faced death, and returned. He's mostly the same but his character is different because of that experience.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of election integrity in Arizona, stating that voters who register without proof of citizenship will be rejected.

The court's decision emphasizes that only U.S. citizens should vote in elections.

Arizona officials praised the ruling, criticizing the "radical left" for opposing it and calling on Congress to ensure only lawful citizens vote in federal races.

This decision upholds a key provision of Arizona's election laws.

We know they conspired to: frame Trump as a Russian stooge or asset, are still conspiring to bankrupt him and send him to prison. We also know they conspired to rig 2020 and succeeded. We know they conspired in various ways around Covid to suppress all contrary views and enforce unscientific dogma. We know they are still conspiring to suppress all dissent online by demonetizing anyone they disagree with, among other things. They conspired, successfully until recently, to conceal the true state of Biden's health.

On and on and on.

At what point does the burden shift to them to demonstrate a non-conspiratorial explanation?

Well, they could start tamping these down if they would update the public, but it's been (6) days and there have been (0) news conferences from any of the responsible agencies, they held a hastily arranged conference call with 100 congressmen and allowed (4) questions, (3) of them from Democrats.

298 Were I writing his speech I would have been all about contrast and compare. Today the average price of a house is $X and the average mortgage is 7%. When I left office it was $Y and 3%x Due to this, the average family has to spend $1000 (or whatever it’s is) a month in mortgage. That’s $1000 that can’t be saved for college. $1000 that can’t be used for a vacation. And then the same for crime. Theo out some numbers, contrast his time in office with Biden. And down the list of everything Biden has fucked up.

He kinda did that, but he didn’t drive home how the Biden policies affect people directly. Just brushed over it.

I think Davis is just throwing up any possible evidence to see if anything was overlooked, and I agree that this was not just sloppiness. Wolf's campaign experience recalls the SS as quick to fire sloppy agents and anyone who makes a mistake. This had not happened. Her point, often mentioned here, that Cheatle and Jill are friends and that Jill's nearby spontaneous event would not be allowed sheds a new light on SS operations for me. I think there's more than DEI happening.

BTW…. Hawley is way behind it seems to me. I’m getting to be a conspiracy nutter I guess because I saw a YT video today. The guy analyzes the audio and timing of the sonic boom / reports of the bullets, along with echoes. He had to make some assumptions but from the audio it’s pretty clear that Crooks didn’t fire all 8 (or 9) shots…. There was a second spitter (er… shooter) and it wasn’t Roger McDowell…. Even to the naked ear, the last 5 shots sound different than the first 3.

Maybe I need to take a cognitive test….
Posted by: LinusVanPelt at July 19, 2024 06:12 PM (xT8gx)


From what I'm hearing, 3 shots from the shooter, 1 shot that killed him, and 5 other shots, all 5 from the same weapon (not the weapon of the shooter or counter-sniper). I THINK I'm hearing that the 5 came from the same general direction as the shooter.

Could all the known injuries be explained by 3 shots?

Supposedly another counter-sniper fired, but did not get the kill shot. If the 5 came from him, he was behind the shooter, and never hit anything.

The video referenced has information I have not seen elsewhere like location of victims. There is some good analysis that is mostly from others. The presenter steals some bases.

CNN reported the analysis that says three weapons. Two sniper teams engaging the shooter makes three without any more shooting at the stage.

Sean has been promoting the "they did it on purpose" view. I disagree.

The Senator from First/Second/USA ViscMcSpend-a-Card. Jeeeze Louise. Biden was a good pol because he would always say whatever they told him to say, no matter how outrageous, apparently.

When income tax was first enacted the rates started at around 2%, but I crunched the wage for inflation and it was something like $500,000 in today's money.

Why are poor people paying any income tax in the first place? Somehow that never makes it into the debates or town halls. What are rates now? 15% on incomes above $35,000. Is that right?

So make it more enticing to come home then. Maybe stop having government tell them how to make things. Maybe, oh, I don't know, have state and local governments be more business friendly. Maybe put unions in their place for the only thing they know how to do these days is be parasitic and assist with electing governments that are hostile to business. Oh, and maybe actually have an educational system that teaches young people the skills needed to manufacture those things and do much else besides (like icky jobs like things in the disgusting service sector or trades like home and auto repair, etc etc etc etc).

If we can't do those things and make it easier for businesses instead to bribe a CPC official to build a factory in the PRC, we deserve all the crap we get. I'd like to live in an America where we aren't constantly shooting ourselves in the foot and then blaming everyone else for the act.

I found this very informative and generally helpful.

I guess this says the shooter kept shooting after Trump ducked down, perhaps hoping he would poke his head back up.

The black lines are where the mystery comes in. How did they determine THEIR trajectory? They seem to realize that they are somehow different from the first three, since they are all black.

They seem to have them coming from, perhaps, the shooter? They travel in the same basic direction as the others, but never hit anybody?

Audio analysis says that these "black" shots were from a different weapon, and there were 5 of them, not 4.

Getteth thee to thy local Tractor Supply (minimum 4) or an online hatchery (minimum 15-20 depending on the vendor, I recommend Hoover's Hatchery) and get some sexlink pullets. Pullets are supposed to be baby hens and sexlinks are hybrids which hatch out different color chicks if they are boys or girls. Chicken sexing is difficult even for people who know what they're doing, and these make it easy.

For Presidents, the USSS or FBI pay a visit to local known threats before any trip to a city. They let them know they are on the radar and assess their current status. I do not know if this applies to candidates or former (it should have for Trump for obvious reasons.)

Either way, they will keep all this quiet because there is no scenario where the feds look good about this.

I don't believe there is yet a party line on this. We have not gotten an official round count from the shooter. I have seen both 5 and 8 reported.

The 3d model video presumes all shots from the shooter. Fox reported that two sniper teams engaged the shooter. We hear the last shot 16 seconds after the first. That one is clearly different.

The first 3 shots are the shooter for sure.

The next 5 or maybe 6 are hard to tell - I think too rapid for one AR. I think some overlapping shots there.

———

You realize there are plenty of state and local governments that are business friendly. Also when Trump was in office he reduced a lot of regulations and he says when he makes it back in office that he will reduce them further.

I’ve worked in manufacturing for over 27 years in the South. Generally speaking regulations are a non issue (cost-wise) and we are considered a large quantity generator of hazardous waste. The biggest regulatory burden I’ve encountered is the air permit for a new oxidizer. And the main issue was timing and coordination. I also one time at a project to replace our aging fire alarm system, that had to go through the local fire department for approval. We had to add some new alarms to improve coverage it wasn’t a big fucking deal.

515 I think too rapid for one AR. I think some overlapping shots there.

516 I assume Trump has a regular SS team, but they don't do all the work needed for a huge rally.

I hope they didn't make any little booties.

518 I guess. Personally I prefer the old English penalty for treason.

520 In short, passive-aggressive effort to kill Trump.

At the least the Arctic Penguins should be very well protected.

522 So let's say Biden's staff manages to keep him on the ballot and he goes down in flames. Who gets first shot at all those Democrat operatives who have just crossed both the Obama and Pelosi camps? Or do they get to learn what happened to Vince Foster the hard way?

523 145 "He probably actually meant AI as Trump has been talking to tech investors for a couple of years and certainly they would've mentioned the power requirements."

Everybody and their dog can imagine EVs would consume more power, but many, even most, people do not understand that AI does, or why!

Similarly, my idiot SIL told me she would be more impressed with Musk if in addition to cars that consumed electricity, he also produced a product that helped conserve it. I said "You mean like Megapacks?"

She had no idea what I was talking about. I told her to Google it.

524 Sean has been promoting the "they did it on purpose" view. I disagree. I mean, they did it on purpose in the sense that they gave Trump the C-team dregs of the agency, and they obviously were not too worried about him being killed. But I don't think there was an actual conscious effort to kill him, let alone collaboration with the shooter.

They're going to be fired and possibly lose their pensions for this.

With how it played out, I think there was an actual conscious effort by at least some of the crew to let him be killed...

My money is on the supervisor in the command post. With multiple agencies, I would think it pretty likely that there were 3 radio nets (local, state, and fed) that couldn't talk directly to each other. That's why there's a command post with representatives of the agencies that can relay radio traffic.

Whoever was in charge was either completely incompetent or just didn't care about Pres. Trump's safety and ignored the reports about Crooks.

525 The first 3 shots are the shooter for sure.

The next 5 or maybe 6 are hard to tell - I think too rapid for one AR. I think some overlapping shots there.

No, Crooks stopped aiming carefully, and just started pulling the trigger as fast as he could. It's not like the AR-15 has heavy recoil.

528 In '97, I got courtmartialed, Summary, so basically a bad Article 15, and nearly lost my Clearance. That would have cost me my MOS, which would have cost me my service, and my 1A and Honorable, because I kicked a woman "Marine" out of my room for blowing a married man in my toilet during Typhoon . . . I forget her name, I wanna say Tina. A bunch of white knnights came to my room door banging like they knew something, and I kept telling them to fuck off. 12 times,, I know that because I have the letters against me on me to this day, and I'm fucking PROUD of them. My defense, was "I did not try to fuck THAT fucking guys wife, which is why I'm here, and your "leaders" stood in line to be insulted only to have their feelings hurt after they woke me up." (those words are actuallly in my page 14)

The Cunts tried to process me, but I "requested mast" every time, to the point that my Sgt major said "This looks very bad for the command." I said, "Sgt Major, I respect that but you have to keep in mind,, _I_ am the one gettning fucked in this situation, and I'm going to the Group commander unless you fix it, and no going back, you are putting it on paper."

Fucking commander

529 Fucking commander blocked my MERIT promo 2 months later,, and I had that Request already written, and I didn't stop. 7 requests, EVERY acknowledged with fault.

FUCKING CUNTS

All exacerbated by a LIE about me doing something I didn't do, and the fucking guy who pushed it knew it wasn't me, but he thought I was the week link to get the info he wanted.

FUCK YOU GUNNY, later SGT Maj Barnum, You ruined 7 careers, because your wife fucked other men, and you attacked tthe wrong people, because you didn't have the balls to put your whore wife, and she was a barracks betty, in check once you put a rring on her.

FUCk That guy. I'm not glad he's dead, but dead at 48, Not bad forr a cocksucker.
