The Morning Report — 7/15/24

Good Morning Kids. While what happened to Donald Trump on Saturday is revolting in the extreme, like everything else he and we have been through especially these past three years, is what happened really all that surprising?

And in surviving another Democrat/Leftist/anarchist assassination attempt to add to the list that goes back to Abraham Lincoln, because Trump dared raise his fist in defiance even as the blood ran down his cheek, the Democrat left that have bayed for Trump's blood since he came down the golden escalator at TrumpTower 9 years ago are now engaged in the typical blaming of the rape victim for dressing provocatively.

The Democrat Left has now gone full Muslim. In blaming Trump for the assassination attempt and for the gall of not only surviving it but defiantly so, As Sharia Law dictates the victim of rape is the criminal, not the rapist. Ditto Donald Trump.

Lest we forget that production of Julius Caesar in Central Park where the aforementioned lead character was presented as Donald Trump, or talentless dishrag Kathy Griffen olding up a prop of Trump's bloody severed head on national television.

Nearly 9 years of sliming him as literally Hitler, and those of us who support him, or to be more precise, who oppose them, as being Nazis and white supremacists hell bent on destroying "our precious democracy."

Second gunman in the bleachers? Crooks got his head vaporized and yet we still don't know by whom.

There are all kinds of questions that point to either the competence or lack thereof of the Secret Service, as well as local law enforcement. Of course, given what we now know of the completely politicized nature of our national law enforcement and intelligence agencies and their documented palace coup against Donald Trump that started in 2016 at the behest of Hilary Clinton and extending well into Trump's term of office including the infamous letter signed by 51 of America's top spooks calling the Hunter Biden laptop Russian propaganda. And on and on and on. Is it a stretch to think that this was an FBI/CIA plot? They helped steal an election, did their best to politically sabotage and remove Trump from the moment he came down the golden Trump tower escalator 9 years ago.

We have innocent people rotting in jail over a supposed insurrection that was a false flag op involving DOJ, Capitol PD stooges who attempted to foment unrest after having the doors opened for them and escorted inside the Capitol. We also have the army declaring pro-life groups as domestic terrorists.

And this is just one example of the Leftists using their positions in the bureaucracy and elective office to persecute political enemies.

The reactions by the institutional left in and out of government are beyond despicable.But at least they're honest. Not the ones who blame victims, but the ones who are crestfallen that the assassin failed.

Friend and friend of the blog Michael walsh has had the Left's number for a very long time, and yet again he nails it:

Since the day the first Democrat vice-president (and co-founder of Tammany Hall), Aaron Burr, killed one of the Founding Fathers, they've always been this way. Consider: between 1865 and 1901, three presidents were assassinated, all Republicans. Three of the first six elected GOP presidents were murdered, by Southern sympathizers, anarchist leftists, and sexual weirdos. JFK, the lone Dem, was shot and killed by a Communist. In addition, there were attempts on the life of Teddy Roosevelt (shot), Ronald Reagan (shot), and Gerald Ford (shot at twice). Within just the past few years, senator Rand Paul was violently assaulted, congressman Steve Scalise was shot by a Trump-hating Bernie Bro, and a Leftist psycho traveled across the country to try and assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. They never stop, they never sleep, they never quit.

To this day, Bernie Sanders and Dick Durbin have yet to answer for what they know and how they knew James Hodgkinson. Given the state of play, they likely will never have to answer for their involvement with the would be mass assassin who nearly mowed down a slew of GOP congressmen on a softball field.

Meh, as we all should know the sage words of Ace himself by now, our speech is violence and their violence is speech.

When that calculus changes, perhaps America as it was or as we had envisioned it might have a shot at revival. And no that is not me telling you to go out and shoot up Democrats. Of course, the usual trolls and others will try and twist it as such. And that is supposed to keep me from writing it, let alone thinking it. That is how they play that game.

Basta cosi.

TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT

DJT was not saved by USSS brilliance. The fact that USSS allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence. Clearly there was adequate uncontrolled dead space for a shooter to move into position and take multiple aimed shots. Watching the newsreel one can hear how proximate the shooter is by the very short time lapse between the crack of arriving bullet (supersonic) to the boom of muzzle blast (sonic).

ISRAEL vs IRAN & GAZA/HAMAS . . . AND BIDEN
Israel and Hezbollah have been engaged in tit-for-tat skirmishes over the Israeli-Lebanese border since Oct. 7, the date Hamas invaded Israel and Israel subsequently invaded Gaza, but mounting tensions in June and July have driven the two adversaries further into conflict, raising the specter of a full-scale war. Hezbollah has greater manpower, weapons and funding available to it than Hamas has — or any of Iran’s other terror proxy groups — making it a more dangerous threat to Israel and the broader stability of the Middle East region, according to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) Long War Journal.

54 In his very next speech, Trump has to use that spotlight to explain why the Democrats are the real threat to democracy, and go at it in great detail. They keep saying he's a threat to democracy. Trump should just ask, what does that mean when I've been protecting your freedoms, and, yes, even insisting on honest elections.

He should bring up the Democrats' illegal spying on his 2016 campaign and how almost everyone has gotten away with it. And ask, why hasn't the Washington Post asked Joe Biden what he knew about the illegal spying and when he knew it?

Trump should ask, have the Democrats now exonerated Nixon for his spying and lying? If so, let's posthumously reject Nixon's resignation.

60 Biden inherited near-zero real interest rates and inflation at 1.4 percent. Almost immediately, in nihilistic fashion, Biden did to a sound economy what he had done to a secure border. So, he recklessly printed money at a time of spiraling, quarantine-ending demand and supply chain disruption. Middle-class wages never caught up with Biden’s inflation, as prices for key staples are nearly 30 percent higher than when he took office.

The cost of servicing the ballooning national debt at high interest is now nearly $1 trillion per year. The world abroad is aflame, lit by Biden’s inexplicable withdrawal from Kabul, his mixed signals to Vladimir Putin on the eve of his invasion of Ukraine, his deliberate alienation of Israel, his appeasement of Iran and China, and his cuts in the defense budget, coupled with his woke war on mythical “racists” in the military.

Exactly! If you notice, all the talk about replacing Biden on the ticket just came to a screeching halt - nobody is gonna step up and volunteer for the career ending beat down that’s coming. So it might as well be Biden.

I was making the case yesterday that Dem party leaders are now settling on letting Biden and Kamala run a Thelma and Louise campaign and flame out spectacularly. That way they can be done with both of them once and for all, and can start over fresh in 2028.

I posted the definitive angle of the assassination attempt last night, you can see Trump as he gives his speech, you can see the over watch snipers in the top of the frame, they are literally looking at the sniper and let him get off shots before they respond.

137 Typical Vox Take: We have to worry about the backlash from the violent right!

And when someone on one side is attacked, the other becomes more likely to respond in kind. The ultimate fear is a cycle of violence akin to Italy’s “Years of Lead”: a roughly 15-year period beginning in 1969 in which extreme left and extreme right militias perpetrated a spree of bombings and assassinations.
At the time, I wrote that the “most likely flashpoint” for violent escalation was “a presidential election.”
Political violence tends to be emotional, perpetrated by angry people who have poor impulse control. In this country, our political emotions are never higher than during a presidential contest — especially when both sides believe that the fate of the republic depends on the outcome.

205 Who is responsible for this assassination attempt?

Every Democrat who said Trump was a dictator, a threat to democracy, a tyrant, a dictator, extreme or dangerous.

This was 8 years of every single Democrat from dog catcher to President deliberately inciting anyone who listened to kill Trump.

Not one said that exterminationist and violent rhetoric was too much.
No, every day saw them competing to out-do the other in escalating incendiary language; who could say the most worst thing about him.
They all knew what their language would lead to. They all deliberately chose that path in hopes someone would act-- to kill Trump.
They got their wish. They wanted this. They dreamed of this. They filled thousands of hours of airtime demanding exactly this.

211 This is going to quickly reach the point where everything can't be kept up with, similar to the Maui fire (the what now? Maui?)

So far it's

The SS was aware of the roof and acknowledged that it was a high priority risk

The SS ignored the roof

Cops and SS were informed of shooter on roof

Cop climbed ladder and investigated shooter on roof, changed his mind and left after shooter pointed rifle at him

Snipers had permission to fire at shooter, chose not to for personal reasons

Secret Service is blaming local cops for shooter's John Wick level skill at climbing a roof on a site that was a high priority risk they ignored

The guy was antifa

The guy was groomed by someone online named "SCVMLORD"

336 American Thinker:

While seeking evidence last night of the motivations and ideology of President Trump’s would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, I came across his Instagram page.

It has now been deleted (of course!), but I took a screen shot, which is presented below the next few paragraphs. Aside from his identifying himself as an “Anti-fascist” (Antifa sympathies), his introduction page included this odd statement:

It says: “@skvmlord made me do it.”

Well, I did a web search and found little relating to “skvmlord” — that is, aside from this X account for it.

Here is what’s weird, too: At 8:22pm on Saturday, a couple of hours after the assassination attempt, @skvmlord tweeted the following:

"You can’t send an Antifa p***y to do the CIA’s job."

Extreme incompetence or it was deliberate. Either way, the SS leadership must resign.

Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer 5h
The Secret Service @SecretService press conference just now was a total disaster. After President Trump narrowly avoided being assassinated yesterday at his rally in Pennsylvania, Secret Service just said that no additional changes to the RNC security plan will be made. Secret Service also said they are “confident in the security plans’ after the assassination attempt”.

How can they say they feel confident when they couldn’t even secure a rally perimeter and keep a deranged 20 year old shooter with a a rifle off the roof?

Donald Trump could have died yesterday.

Clearly, Secret Service needs to enhance and modify security plans ahead of the RNC Convention, which begins tomorrow.

Posted by: andycanuck (Jh5b+) at July 15, 2024 08:35 AM (Jh5b+)

366 The shooter was outside the perimeter. I think they called it a soft area or some shit. To me that is not the most egregious thing. The worst part is people were able to take video of the guy crawling across the roof into position all the while warning authorities and pointing the SOB out. Even in the video you could see the shooter speed up his progress because he knew people could see him from the ground.
The ginger in the interview by the BBC guy also pointed out that the slope of the roof might have obscured the shooter from the counter snipers view. I don't think we're going to know the truth.
I watched the video of the a-hole Sullivan from J6 that recorded Ashley Babbit getting smoked, video of him telling his girlfriend that was with him "look what we made them do".......good luck finding that video. All the phone recorded stuff from the attempt I'm sure will be deep six'd just like like that shit.

Ah, there it is. "The grounds." No one is concerned about what happened on the ground or grounds. The problem is that roof. The obvious sniper spot.

Why didn't you even bother to get a couple of local VFD boys on the roof with a radio? Imagine how thrilled a couple of local yokels would be to be asked by Trump's SS to help out.

But no. Instead you left the roof unsecured and then didn't fire on the shooter when you saw him.

It was mentioned last night that the counter-sniper that shot him was 400 yards away.

So a roof that was 200 yards from the stage *wasn't* in the perimeter, but a sniper position in a tree 200 yards in the other direction was.

No.

She ran for president in 2020 on known leftist/communist positions before stepping down and trying to infiltrate the (R) party. Which, if you're involved at the local level, you'll see has been happening locally as well and is apparently a coordinated and planned movement to take over.

See also: Every corporation, church denomination, etc.

She's allowed to sit quietly and smile and clap for about 20 years, but there's no way she should be in charge of anything beyond going to get toilet paper when the ladies bathroom is low.

461 I would point out the possibility that the counter sniper team was concerned the individual on the roof was blue force and was trying to identify and evaluate.

They had clearly observed the individual on the roof, and likely observed the officer who had also climbed up to the roof to investigate a possible threat. That officer would have been in the direct line of fire, as well - and it would have been very easy to assume the investigating officer was actually the #2 of another sniper team ascending the roof to take up a position there.

Apparently, the threat started sending rounds very shortly after the investigating officer on the ladder had taken cover below the roof line.

They are not required to request permission to engage a threat, but they would be very hesitant to engage a threat if there were a possibility it was actually a friendly.

Just speculating.

468 @398 Moron Robbie-It wasn't 400 yards it was 400 feet/133 yards. If you take the time to look at the map of the rally/stage/shooter and counter snipers position it's clear that the counter snipers were closer to the shooter by 15- 20 yards than the stage where Trump was at.

I think you're talking about the two on the roof where they were meerkatting and looking away from their optics and birdwatching before one got scared and looked like he wanted to run away when the shooting started.

Apparently the kill shot was by a sniper in a tree 400 yards out.

477 He Wanted Violence. He got it. Trump's persistent anger and incitement to violence is deliberate. It just backfired. Trump has explicitly called for violence either as President or as a former President and Presidential candidate. The over-arching point is going to be this: when you call for violence, you get it — just not always in the way you wanted it. (Then giant list of Trump's alleged violent statements)

This sounds awfully like someone is blaming the victim and justifying violence against him. Violence is never the answer.

The same victim who once said maybe the 2nd amendment people could act against Hillary Clinton? I didn't read anywhere where the poster justified violence against the victim. I am a firm believer that you reap what you sow. Trump sows violence. Make of that what you want.

If we were talking about a young woman who was "dressed like a slut" was "dancing with all the boys" was "not speaking like a lady" would you say she "reaped what she sowed" if she was attacked?

Strawman. Trump is NOT the victim, his persistent violent rhetoric blew up in his face. He is an irredeemably evil man.

488 I personally think the Secret Service was briefed by staffers at Homeland Security as to how they'd be working Trump's rally in PA. Specifically, where to setup and what resources (Service or local LE) would be where. Because I believe that's where the op originated. DHS HQ.

Whether someone inside Trump's detail is willing to come forward with information on how the security was arranged and by whom is debatable. But it'd go a long way to uncovering who ultimately was responsible.

Also, Trump's personal security should chime in on what their role was. Or wasn't.

Japan Expo in Paris. Ubisoft promised an immersive Japanese experience at their booth with custom made items from the game. It didn't take long for this to explode in their faces like a ninja tossed smoke bomb.

Yasuke's 'sword' on display was quickly recognized as being Zoro's sword from One Piece. What is even more galling was this sword could be bought off of Amazon. One thing only you say? Nope. The stand for the sword and the little statue of a Japanese woman were also quickly found for sale on Amazon.

About the only item exclusively created for this booth was the rubber samurai helmet of Yasuke.

534 The BBC has been great on reporting on the attempt. This is a good link to show the distances and it also show 2 areas of sniper teams. They are very close to the stage and the murderer was 430ft away. Doesn't negate the fact that the murderer's position should have been secured by some agency.

Interesting idea, but all security personnel would be in constant radio contact. They could take 10 seconds to ask whomever is in charge if they sent a team to that roof. And if that roof was going to be used, it would have been documented in the pre-event briefing to all security personnel.

For a first lady or kids it may be more comfortable and as long as the agent is well trained and willing to do whatever is necessary to protect her charges, its fine with me.

But credit where it's due, that SS lady using her head and body to protect Trump is pretty bad ass. Her head was basically between Trump heart and any bullet that might come from the crowd.

641 461 I would point out the possibility that the counter sniper team was concerned the individual on the roof was blue force and was trying to identify and evaluate.

They had clearly observed the individual on the roof, and likely observed the officer who had also climbed up to the roof to investigate a possible threat. That officer would have been in the direct line of fire, as well - and it would have been very easy to assume the investigating officer was actually the #2 of another sniper team ascending the roof to take up a position there.

Apparently, the threat started sending rounds very shortly after the investigating officer on the ladder had taken cover below the roof line.

They are not required to request permission to engage a threat, but they would be very hesitant to engage a threat if there were a possibility it was actually a friendly.

Just speculating.

Posted by: CZ = FNG, Free Republic of Florida at July 15, 2024 09:22 AM (MkuC5)

Here is what I think happened. They knew he was on the roof. They send a local cop over to take a look. That cop went up on the roof and the assassin pointed his rifle at the cop. The cop got scared and returned to the ground.

The snipers saw all that and were waiting on a report from the local cop via radio before shooting. The cop was so spooked he didn't report anything delaying the sniper firing. By that time the assassin knew he to fire as soon as he could so he re-aimed at Trump and took his shot.

That explains why the sniper on the roof behind Trump look up, that's when the investigating cop went back to the ground and when the cop didn't report the sniper look up confused.

TMZ has a video of the assassin on the roof when he got killed. At the beginning of the video you can see the cop (at least it looks like a cop to me) at the bottom of the building walking away.

688 Trump and the Republicans need their own, private security at every event. The Secret Service, FBI, state and local forces can not be relied on to protect them. Whether this is due to incompetence or intentional, Trump and his allies can no longer take the risk.

689 Obviously that roof should've had some law enforcement on it but I have a question. That building is privately owned, can the owner refuse law enforcement access?

Legally I don't think the government can force a private entity to host law enforcement personnel.

690 Secret Service is stating that "the shooter was outside the venue." That's nonsense, anything with line of sight to Trump was "inside the venue" and should have been secured.

691 Kyle Seraphin @KyleSeraphin 12h
Jenna Howell, an @FBI employee who works in the NICS firearms background check unit, posted her disappointment @realDonaldTrump survived an assassination attempt. Jenna has a Top Secret clearance.

This is a typical #FBI support employee. And she hates gun owners.

The National Instant Criminal Background Check System is a background check system in the United States created by the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993. The act was named for James Brady - who was wounded in an assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan. Ironic?

692 What's the name of the local cop who saw the shooter and walked away?

Who's donated to the GoFundMe for the family who's dad was shot defending his family? Those celebrities and political figures and millionaire donors who egged that scumbag on - has anyone asked them if they will put their money where their mouths are?

I hope Hannity and Waters and others ask that question directly to every one of those hypocrites...who donate cash to bail out scumbags -but they'll leave a family out to dry while applauding the shooter.

693 687 The cop was so spooked he didn't report anything delaying the sniper firing.

The cop was saying "I'm too old for this shit" and his retirement is only 3 months away.

694 Daily Mail says the roof Crooks used was outside the Secret Service's perimeter, and thus was the responsibility of local law enforcement.

695 Send her back to protecting soda pop and salty snacks.

Well, the Pepsi thing is a long time ago. She joined the agency in the mid 90's.

Soda pop? Yee gads!

He is NOT. A good man or a Trump faithful. He is an opportunist who would do the deep state's bidding.

697 Scvmlord probably renamed one of his sock puppet accounts after the shooting. If the account were the bastard's it would be @tomcrooks453 rather than @thomas.matthew.crooks.

Blah blah blah assassins yadda middle names yadda.
Mel Gibson in conspiracy theory.

Smith illegally appointed.

Bad week for the forces of darkness.

Rejoice!

Rejoice!

699 I felt that the cop climbing the ladder and retreating story was not accurate. Now the current official story as reported on the Fox News site is the cop was trying to find a way to the roof ( there was no ladder ) and subsequently got onto the shoulders of another cop and looked over and saw the guy pointing the gun at him and he ducked and fell back off the other cop's shoulder.

I'll wait another 24 hours to see if this story is accurate

700 I'm not sure what basis there is for speculation of a second gunman. The people who were hit were in line with the rooftop shooter and the podium

Posted by: SamIam at July 15, 2024 12:02 PM (oasF3)

701 Regarding this statement, "Watching the newsreel one can hear how proximate the shooter is by the very short time lapse between the crack of arriving bullet (supersonic) to the boom of muzzle blast (sonic)." please post your math. About .87 seconds before each shot, there is a funny noise in the recording. Is that what you are referring to? If the shooter was 130 yards away, shot sound travel time is about .35 seconds. Most of the time that funny noise happens about .87 seconds before the shot sound. Explain how the funny noise is the snap of a passing bullet.
