Biden Won't Say Trump Was the Victim of an Assassination Attempt, Uses Opportunity to Plug His Campaign

trunpstatement.jpg

trunpshootingbidenstatement.jpg

There'll be no headlines like "Democrats seize on attempted murder of their rival to push more gun control." I mean, that'll happen. Biden will make that the main point of his statement.

But the media will not say "Democrats seize."

Sean Davis says that Biden is short-shrifting Trump's security detail.

Sean Davis
@seanmdav

BREAKING: A source familiar with Trump's security detail tells @FDRLST
that the former and future president's detail has been asking for beefed up protection and resources for weeks, but has been rebuffed time and again by Biden's DHS.

DHS, which oversees Secret Service protective detail "wasn't responsive to those requests" for more resources, the source said.

Was Biden's regime behind the attack, or did it deliberately do everything it could to allow it to happen?

Developing...

From a friend: "ABC 'News' is literally doing 'Republicans Pounce.'"

By the way, I know there are reports that witnesses saw an armed man climb to a roof and that the Secret Service did nothing about it. I'm not posting that because it's possible that that man was an undercover Secret Service sniper. I keep seeing a body being dragged out of the crowd. That might have just been the civilian victim, but I'm still thinking the shooter was in the crowd. I'll post about it if it turns out the shooter was on the roof, of course.

This guy does seem to know what he's talking about, though.

And it looks like the shooter was in fact on the roof that guy is talking about.

So my skepticism was unfounded; it looks like the shooter was on the roof, and was spotted by a lot of people. Just not the Secret Service.

We're going to need investigations and a lot of resignations.

Starting with Mayorkas.

Below: Biden refuses to go out on a limb and say that Trump was the victim of an assassination attempt.

Biden's been "thoroughly briefed," but not enough to admit Trump was the victim of an assassination attempt.

He also slips in a campaign line: "We have to unite this country."

He means under himself, of course.

He's campaigning even while his opponent is in the hospital thanks to one of his antifa goons shooting him.

The assassin's bullet was photographed in flight:

But Biden can't say that Trump was nearly assassinated, by a Biden voter or a Democrat ally in the antifa terror army, of course.

4 Serious question, why are some thinking that this would help trump and hurt Democrats? Trump is still a racist, sexist, bigot, who tried to overthrow the government. Who in their right mind is going to say, oh trump got shot, therefore he has my vote.

I prefer presidents who don't get shot. I admit...this one made me chuckle A LITTLE.

Who has the spotlight now? I thought the drama around the Biden replacement story was going to carry us through the GOP convention. It's back onto Trump now Also a good way to get people's minds off PROJECT 2025

If America's eligible voters were in their right mind, TFG never would have sniffed a party nomination, never mind the WH. It may help TFG precisely because so many American voters have warped decision making processes.

Shooter equals Anti-Trump equals Democrats "They're the violent ones (Democrats)" he'll conflate it all. He’ll lean into it. Election to Trump will be martyrdom and rooting out other “sick” democrats in his supposed second term.

Not to mention he mocked the hammer attack on Pelosi's husband.

51 This says it all:

@seanmdav
Biden needs to resign.

He and his administration did everything possible to make today’s attacks happen. They allowed terrorists into our country. They urged left-wing mobs to attack their political enemies. They let their most violent prisoners roam the streets. And when Trump’s security team asked for more resources to handle threats, Biden’s DHS ignored them.

We don’t need to hear another word from a dementia-addled fool who probably doesn’t even know where he is or what day it is. America needs this vile, corrupt regime to resign and go away forever.

So the Secret Service apparently failed to secure the surrounding rooftops in rifle range, responded slowly after Trump hit the deck (to my eyes, anyway, but I am no expert so I could be way off base), and then didn't even have the shot on the assassin and it was local cops from suburban Pittsburgh who put down the shooter?

If my initial perceptions are correct - and the "48 hour rule" is in full effect - this is not one of those situations where the Secret Service has wrapped itself in a mantle of glory.

Probably not a good idea to start chucking golf balls at an armed combatant. He might start shooting back.

Also, if they caused a ruckus, that might have given the shooter enough cover from the distraction to aim better and then get away while the SS was dealing with a bunch of "insurrectionists."

287 So a *police* sniper took out the shooter? Not a Secret Service countersniper?

So the Secret Service apparently failed to secure the surrounding rooftops in rifle range, responded slowly after Trump hit the deck (to my eyes, anyway, but I am no expert so I could be way off base), and then didn't even have the shot on the assassin and it was local cops from suburban Pittsburgh who put down the shooter?

290 Shooter tried a sniper shot from an elevated platform. Anyone who has ever done that knows you just don’t pick up a rifle and scope, then go out the next day and shoot. He knew the venue, enough to take the shot from a place the SS didn’t have covered. While he was eliminated by CS fire, it’s clear the detail was spread thin and Sean’s comment therefore relevant. Shooter went for a head shot, which is hard at distance. Not clear why he missed- whether deflection or wind. But either way Trump was lucky his head was turned.

Probably not a good idea to start chucking golf balls at an armed combatant. He might start shooting back.

Also, if they caused a ruckus, that might have given the shooter enough cover from the distraction to aim better and then get away while the SS was dealing with a bunch of "insurrectionists."
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at July 13, 2024 08:32 PM (BpYfr)

If he's shooting at you, he's not shooting the president. I admit it would have been risky, but you would have foiled the attempt either way.

And pointing him out is risky anyway...so, they were taking the risk...so keep going...

In any case, just a couple inches from losing President Trump, after all the leftist rhetoric about targeting Trump. Of course their goons will try to be the "hero".

If the shooter was hidden by a roof ridge, like the redheaded guy suggested, isn't available cover something to make sure is... covered?

My guess is SS was in charge at stage / crowd level but snipers were somebody else, and the latter left a deadly gap in the protection.

this going to be 100% coverage for what, 2 days??? Ugh, I’m alresdy sooooo sick of seeing it. He’s ok, let’s move on, but we all know all coverage 24/7 until the next big thing.

This is actually a nice distraction from the BS "should Biden step aside" shitshow. Plus, we have the Republican convention coverage crap.

A potential assassination attempt and you say ah, let's move on? No harm, no foul? Would you say the same thing about any other assassination attempt? Disbelief. I'm new here, but these reactions are wild!

I would note that Trump and his supporters joked when Paul Pelosi was attacked (an attack we all saw), but I can also see that news outlets are using the image of a bleeding Trump raising his fist.

Because a trained person can take a shot from way beyond any security perimeter that is set up with a very good chance of getting a hit. Back in the day we would have contests shooting at bowling pins at 500 yards with AR-15's with iron sights. They can't close down the entire town when Trump is speaking.

@realDonaldTrump

I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

He probably doesn't know it. I doubt that the names have been released, even internally, yet.

I think it's a good initial statement for when nobody knows much. I am sure that, if the family and the survivor are cool with it, he *will* use their names - once he knows them.

If they're not, he'll probably say something like "and those people, who want to remain private, ..."

514 287 So a *police* sniper took out the shooter? Not a Secret Service countersniper?

So the Secret Service apparently failed to secure the surrounding rooftops in rifle range, responded slowly after Trump hit the deck (to my eyes, anyway, but I am no expert so I could be way off base), and then didn't even have the shot on the assassin and it was local cops from suburban Pittsburgh who put down the shooter?

You are correct on all counts. And a retired Secret Service officer posted nearly the exact same comments on X.

It either isn't what it looks like, or it was luckiest photograph this year.

Modern cameras - especially pro cameras - are insanely good. Extremely fast and crazy high resolutions. And given how long the bullet looks (if that's what it is) in the picture (probably a least the equivalent of a couple of feet in the frame), the camera had a very high shutter speed (it was bright out, so that's entirely possible), crazy resolution, and ludicrous luck when it comes to timing.

It's a 3-fer. If you want to get Biden out of the race because he's losing ground day-by-day and the verdict is getting close to sealed, and he doesn't want to go, how would you get it done?

Well, you might have someone assasinate him privately, as the movie Godfather III implies happened to the first Pope John Paul. But that's too obvious; make him die in his sleep of what? A heart attack? A stroke (in line with his brain surgery and other neurological problems)? The public wouldn't buy it.

The "multiple f-stop" thing is probably not a factor, though RAW images can produce that effect with post-processing.

To catch a bullet in flight - even with blind luck - it is much more a function of shutter speed. And it was broad daylight and professional gear, so the shutter speed was very, very fast.

If that picture is what it looks like, it was taken with a fast camera and whole mess of luck.

627 First, you stage an attempt on President Trump, and you're hoping to stoke anger on the extreme right to set them up to commit violence, as they did in getting people to riot at the Capitol, Jan 6th. You scream about how violent they are and how out of control, and you yell about their threats on social media non-stop (step 1)

Second, you get a Palestinian or other Muslim extremist to shoot and kill Biden in a public event. This gains revenge for the shooter and all the Hamas-lovers in the deep state (State, Defense, intelligence agencies) for Biden not stepping and stopping Israel from gaining revenge for Oct. 7th (Step 2 complete).

But before the assassin can act, you scrub and reformat his social media to make him look like a Trump supporter gaining revenge for tonight. (Step 3)

The desperation of the international left is not surprising, as today it sees its harmful ideology expire, and is willing to destabilize democracies and promote violence to screw itself into power. In fear of losing at the polls, they resort to terrorism to impose their retrograde and authoritarian agenda.

I hope for the speedy recovery of President Trump and that the elections in the United States are held fairly, peacefully and democratically."

Shooter was about 150 yards from Trump on a rooftop with a direct line of sight to the stage.

It defies every security protocol ever written that this rooftop was not secured, and law enforcement personnel were not standing up there.

724 Trump said that he heard them/it/a bullet whiz by. I don't think that he heard the one that hit him. It's possible one whizzed by his left ear (the picture) and another got his right ear.

Conditions have to be just right, with enough moisture in the air. Basically, supersonic projectile rips through the local air, strong pressure wave form (shock waves). On the rarefaction side of the wave, temperature can drop below the dew point, and condensation briefly forms.

I've been learning about a lot of them lately.

I'd say that maybe 1/4 of them are pure BS, 1/4 have some sort of basis (but are nonetheless dubious), 1/4 sound like they're probably right (but I can't say so for sure), and 1/4 are spot-on.

At this point, it's pretty obvious that Oswald was the patsy he said he was, for example. A guy confessing to firing the kill shot said he was part of the team, but Oswald's role was to be the local guy helping the out-of-towners get everything they needed. Oswald worked for the CIA, who ordered the hit and set him up to take the fall. The movie footage shows JFK's head jerk backwards, so anybody can see for themselves he was shot from the front - not from where Oswald was.

"Somehow" the Secret Service didn't check the buildings and windows, or behind the fence at the "grassy knoll", or ride on the side of JFK's car (to block any potential shot).

This is what Alex Pfeiffer on X is reporting:

https://x.com/__Pfeiffer/status/1812273459273298405

"Leading Democrats introduced legislation intended to strip President Trump of Secret Service protection.

They did that at the same time as Joe Biden called President Trump a "dictator," and Nancy Pelosi said President Trump "must be stopped."

Note too that on 7.8.2024 Biden said:

"We’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye."

1033 Then... suddenly Trump SS team is worse then the Three Stooges.


One thing I was considering recently...

Remember the two guards that were on duty when Epstein was assassinated? One was literally sleeping on the job and the other was screwing around not working.

It is hard to view these two nincompoops as part of some conspiracy because...they weren't. Now...the manager that put them on duty for that shift? Now that's the guy that was in on it.

Coming back to your point, one of the easiest ways to allow something to happen is to schedule your least competent agents to stop it...

So who specifically assigns SS agents? Which agent had the role to scout the surroundings and get personal to have a view of everything? Who was in charge of tracking the "man with a rifle walking around in the area" lead?

1037 HealthRanger @HealthRanger
SHOOTER DISTANCE CALCULATION BASED ON SOUND:
The speed of sound, give or take based on ambient conditions, is 1,125 fps (feet per second). The speed of a 5.56 rifle round, give or take, is around 2,500 fps from a typical 16" rifle barrel, although it slows immediately after leaving the barrel and gets slower the farther it travels. We could hear from the reports that this was a semi-automatic rifle, not a bolt-action, so the barrel length was likely 16" or 18" at most. If we are recording the event very close to the point of impact, then we will hear the impact of the bullet first, followed by the report of the rifle shot. The time between these two audio events gives us a fairly accurate answer of the distance of the shooter. In the case of the assassination attempt on #Trump, audio analysis reveals 0.22 seconds between the impact and the rifle report (I just checked this myself).

1039 cont. HealthRanger @HealthRanger
Doing the math (algebra), this comes out to about 450 feet of distance for the shooter, at which distance: 1) The bullets would take 0.18 seconds to arrive, and 2) The sound would take 0.4 seconds to arrive. The difference is 0.22 seconds, which is what we find in the audio file. CONCLUSION: Shooter was roughly 450 feet away, give or take, which is about 1.5 football fields away. Hence the difficulty of the shot. THANK GOD TRUMP survived the assassination attempt!

1139 HealthRanger @HealthRanger
SHOOTER DISTANCE CALCULATION BASED ON SOUND:
The speed of sound, give or take based on ambient conditions, is 1,125 fps (feet per second). The speed of a 5.56 rifle round, give or take, is around 2,500 fps from a typical 16" rifle barrel, although it slows immediately after leaving the barrel and gets slower the farther it travels. We could hear from the reports that this was a semi-automatic rifle, not a bolt-action, so the barrel length was likely 16" or 18" at most. If we are recording the event very close to the point of impact, then we will hear the impact of the bullet first, followed by the report of the rifle shot. The time between these two audio events gives us a fairly accurate answer of the distance of the shooter. In the case of the assassination attempt on #Trump, audio analysis reveals 0.22 seconds between the impact and the rifle report (I just checked this myself).
Posted by: andycanuck (Jh5b+) at July 13, 2024 09:51 PM (Jh5b+)


Does this take into account the return fire? Do we know for sure that the shooter even fired first?

BTW, 0.22 sec * 1125 feet/sec = 247.5 feet, if anybody's wondering. Seems pretty close!

1156 I just spoke with a lot enforcement friend who says the Secret Service sniper took out the assassin at 500 meters. That is an incredibly difficult shot. So this question remains: how was the amateur who tried to assassinate President Trump so good that he missed by mere inches?

Probably meant 500 feet
500'

1157 Of course the left so quickly jumps to "now's the time to work together, not divide the country" when they attempt to assassinate the leader of their political rivals.

They always, always, act like Hamas, creating violence and then demanding peace when it looks like they're going to get their heads caved in.

1161 #1167 My error; I thought he said the perp fired the "500 metres".

Hey. I'm not making a pot of coffee this late!

1162 " Trumps SS detail literally dodged a bullet today. "

Assuming their "stand down" was not complicit.

Imagine if braggart Joe, when speaking of the target coming on Trump, had advanced knowledge of the assassination.

Joe bragged about the Ukraine prosecutor being fired, he bragged about "where's the money", when he was accused of taking huge bribes, thinking he had his accounts hidden.

So would he know a hit on Trump was coming and he would brag about it? Sure, evil Joe would do that. Not sure that IS what happened, but he knows he has Antifa and BLM and illegals on his side, and he loves it. Just like any mafia don loves their power.

1163 I think the police snipers had the suspect targeted, but the wait for a shoot approval from their supervisor took too long. Just a guess, but we'll know for sure fairly soon.

Someone not in your uni with an open gun should be an instant shot.

1164 Holy Fook!!

Kimberly Cheatle the Director of the Secret Service previously was employed as the Global Head of security for PepsiCo??

Posted by: I'm Gumby Damn it! at July 13, 2024 10:20 PM (o3Uyl)

1165 I'm looking on google maps and if I have the right location the rooftop looks to be 100m plus change from the location of the rostrum.

As I understand it, the Secret Service team protecting President Trump is quite small so I'm not surprised if it was outside their direct area of control and was perhaps pawned off to local police. That said, I would have had people physically occupying that space.

The slow reaction seems to be a case of the left-hand not being able to talk to the right-hand effectively.

1167 Everyone should be offering prayers of thanksgiving tonight.

And every night,

As J.J. says, evil never sleeps.

But neither does God.

1168 I saw the body being hauled out of the bleachers too. Must be an injured person bc the bullets would have gone by Trump into the bleachers, right?

Amen. Still keep going back to that first video and just having to catch my breath. :::shudder:::

Prayers out for PDT, and for those families who will be receiving a call that they could not have imagined a little earlier today.

1170 NY Post ID'd shooter as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20 year old local. No other info.

Posted by: Martin Tell at July 14, 2024 12:21 AM (G5Juy)

1171 The Secret Service and other police agencies fucked up if it is true the shooter was within 300 feet of the president. That's not a hard shot for an average marksman. There is no excuse that the rooftops weren't secured.

Posted by: Jane at July 14, 2024 01:43 AM (bXvrr)

1172 From the sounds on the television it didn't sound like any AR I have ever heard, way too subdued. Could it have been equipped with some sort of sound reducing device. Those rounds are normally very sharp and distinct.

1175 So, how could it be anything other than an assassination attempt? Someone wasn't out rabbit hunting and just failed to notice a presidential campaign rally out in the middle of the field.

1178 Hi, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i
was just curious if you get a lot of spam responses?

If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you
can advise? I get so much lately it's driving me
mad so any help is very much appreciated.

Posted by: assignment help at July 21, 2024 10:33 PM (9R0u9)

1179 of course like your web-site but you have to
test the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with
spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to tell the truth then again I'll certainly come again again.
