“The director of the Secret Service now admits that they knew the building was a vulnerability for Trump, but they didn’t put an agent there because the roof was slightly sloped and a safety risk for an agent.
This is absolutely ridiculous. The agents were scared of a slightly sloped roof so they don’t have to do their jobs? That is the most cowardly thing I’ve ever heard in my life!”
“BREAKING: Trump and the RNC just filed a lawsuit against Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer for signing an executive order allowing state and federal agencies to be used as voter registration agencies (VRAs) in violation of election law
Under her order, Veteran Affairs, Housing Development Authority, and other agencies will basically become voter registration machines to help Democrats. This is also incredibly suspicious considering the confirmed instances of the federal government handing voter registration forms to noncitizens”
Under Michigan law, the authority to make such designations is held solely by the Legislature. See Const. 1963, art. 2, § 4(2) (“The legislature shall enact laws to regulate the time, place and manner of all nominations and elections, to preserve the purity of elections, to preserve the secrecy of the ballot, to guard against abuses of the elective franchise, and to provide for a system of voter registration and absentee voting.”
The lawsuit says Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson also lacked the authority to unilaterally enter into an agreement with the Small Business Administration to designate SBA offices as VRAs
To put it very simply, Democrats are inflating voter rolls with both real & fictitious registrations so they can cheat without getting caught”-
“Nobody wants to hear this because of the implications, but oh well: Joe Biden’s security regime deliberately and with malice aforethought created the conditions that led to an assassin shooting Donald Trump in the head. It is by the grace of God that he lived and our nation is not currently in the midst of a violent civil war.
They deliberately starved Trump’s security team of the resources it needed. And they did it repeatedly, over many weeks and months.
With Trump’s security detail understaffed, under-resourced, and stretched to its limits, Biden’s security regime diverted even more resources to a hastily planned Jill Biden event that just happened to be in the area.
Biden’s security regime then ordered the most obvious assassination perch in the entire area to remain outside the main security perimeter.
Furthermore, Biden’s Secret Service director ordered law enforcement and counter-snipers OFF the roof that the assassin used.
If that weren’t enough, Biden’s security regime also refused to block line of sight from the assasssin’s perch to Trump’s location.
When law enforcement radioed in a suspicious person using a laser range finder at the building and even took photos of him, nothing was done to detain the assassin.
The assassin was so obviously a threat that bystanders at the event begged law enforcement to stop him, but nothing happened.
And even as snipers on the roof near Trump saw a gunman on the roof, Biden’s security regime refused to have agents immediately surround Trump and remove him from the stage to protect him from being shot.
Given the lies and nonsense from both Biden’s DHS secretary and his Secret Service director, it’s increasingly difficult to believe this was a just a series of independent mistakes. In contrast, when you look at the entire picture, what you see better resembles a deliberate plan to make Trump vulnerable but to appear at first glance to be just a couple of innocent mistakes.
And when you add in how little information we’ve been given about the about the shooter—apparently the only person on earth not on the Internet—you begin to wonder if maybe a group of people at a different three-letter agency might have been working on a parallel track to find and encourage people to take action against Trump at the very same time he was kept vulnerable by Biden’s regime.
We know this happens, because the FBI did it with Gretchen Whitmer: it recruited and urged disturbed individuals to buy weapons and put together a plan to kidnap her. In that case, the FBI wanted a story it could use to slime right-wingers. So it created the story itself.
What happens when an agency like that, or maybe even another three-letter agency, decides instead that it’s had enough of Trump? Some former FBI employees might even call it an “insurance policy.”
So who was the shooter talking to in the hours, days, and weeks ahead of the event? Who was he meeting with? Did anyone suggest or nudge or urge him to go to the Trump rally in Butler? Did anyone suggest or point out to him the building he eventually used? Was he told at any time to not worry about security?
The FBI told us almost immediately that while it couldn’t open the assassin’s phone, it knew he acted alone. That’s kind of strange, when you think about it. They told us almost immediately that they identified him by DNA, despite him having no criminal record. They also said they found explosives in his car. Why didn’t they just identify him by his plates or registration or next of kin identification? That’s pretty weird, too.
At some point you just have to say enough with the lies. We saw what they did with the Russia hoax. We saw the Kavanaugh hoax. We saw the COVID origin hoax. We saw the Ukraine hoax, the stolen election, the J6 op, and then the armed Mar-a-Lago raid and the myriad illegal cases against Trump.
They called him Hitler. They said he was an existential threat. They said he would destroy democracy. They said he was the most dangerous person on earth.
Then the denied him security. The kept the rooftop open. They watched the shooter and did nothing. They kept Trump on that stage. And they didn’t do a damn thing until after he had been shot in the head.
And we’re all supposed to believe it was just an innocent oopsie?”

“An ER Patient at the hospital in Butler, Pennsylvania captured the moment President Trump arrived to hospital. You can hear how shook up the people in the ER waiting room were over hearing Donald Trump had been shot, and how happy they were to see that he was walking.”
“It’s amazing how many “legacy” conservatives—writers and old-school bloggers who came to prominence 20 years ago, during the Bush II era—simply don’t get it still. You could see it in their reactions to JD Vance getting selected as running mate, ranging from muted to disappointed to exasperated.
These are guys who support Trump and the New Right movement only incidentally and reluctantly, as the least bad option currently available to them. They’re not enthusiastic about having to do so, and they’re still hoping—yearning, even—for a return to the Republican Party of old, governed by Reagan’s tripartite coalition of Chamber of Commerce business conservatives, national security hawks, and Falwell-era Christian conservatives.
These people still—after nearly a decade!—view Trump and his associated movement as a fad. An unruly teenage period that will one day pass, after which the adults in the party can lead the GOP back to its respectable roots, and modern-day conservatives will learn proper reverence for the ideology of Ronald Reagan (born 1911) and William F. Buckley (born 1925).
Here’s what they either don’t get or refuse to come to terms with: That conservative movement is dead.
It died because it simply didn’t work, and it’s a death well-deserved.It died when George W. Bush, the spiritual—and biological—heir of the movement launched an unnecessary war that left thousands of Americans, most of them from working-class backgrounds, dead or maimed on the streets of Iraq.
It died when conservatives offered no solutions for the economic malaise affecting middle-class families aside from the standard tactic of cutting taxes, largely for those in the top 0.1% of households.
It died when the GOP didn’t do anything meaningful to address the crisis at the southern border or the crisis from the opioid epidemic.
It died when the GOP happily supported an agenda of offshoring and deindustrialization, to free up capital to return to the likes of Charles Koch, Mitt Romney, and private equity investors.
It died for countless reasons like these, and it is never coming back. Ever.
Despite this reality, evident to all but the most oblivious DC think-tank staffers, there remains a faction of the conservative movement that still blithely believes the future lies with the likes of Nikki Haley, Marco Rubio, or Ted Cruz. Intellectual descendants of the Bush clan, who still get their stale ideas from the yellowed pages of old print copies of the National Review. Establishment figures more than happy to return to a platform of foreign entanglement and domestic stagnation.
JD Vance, a working-class 39-year-old Iraq veteran, represents the long-term entrenchment of the New Right within the Republican Party, and he heralds the final demise of the legacy Reaganite movement.
With JD as Vice President and heir to the GOP throne, a conservative agenda authentically focused on strengthening working-class families, middle-class communities, and an American economy that works for all stakeholders, not just we capital providers, becomes permanently enshrined. What the establishment hopes is a passing fad becomes a decades-long agenda.
Because of JD’s youth, his eloquence, and his disregard for their failed ideology, this establishment may view him as an ever larger threat than they view Trump. I don’t think he minds their disdain.
I welcome JD Vance’s ascendance. And hopefully the rest of the movement soon does as well.”
“Many Americans have undergone a similar transformation to that of JD Vance, recognizing that Trump is not as bad as the media portrays him to be and acknowledging that he was, in fact, a great President.”@VivekGRamaswamy
“There’s some controversy about this because it’s unpleasant. But here’s the thing. We’re betraying our own powerless people if we don’t use the power we have to protect them by making the side that imposed these new rules feel the costs.

If we fail to impose a cost on them for doing this because doing so is unpleasant, we have betrayed our own people and left them exposed. The left will not stop unless it has reason to. This is reason to.
Sometimes you have to be stern.”

This grifter is gaslighting again. Unlike him, Vance knows war personally, him being a Marine who actually fought in the Iraq war, unlike the grifter Zelensky who simply watches one from his many mansions…..
I remember that popular political button long ago, “Question Authority.”
God’s authority I don’t question. It is absolute and over all things. Forever.
But temporal authorities? We need to be willing to question those.
I find this a curious time in our history. I haven’t been “all in” for a politician since I was a teenager; I’ve learned (I hope) to question all of them to some degree, some more than others at times, granted, but even those I really like. (I’ve watched enough of them falter, fall short, and fail over time.)
We are all flawed and political power does things to people. We’d be no different.
Just beware of that “all in” trend in popular politics. It can crop up in difficult and stressful times (and so, I think, it has again).
Offered as just a caution, to always check our own political “enthusiasms.”
Love you all in Christ and that will always survive our temporal differences in this world.
Oh look they caught someone suspicious but they aren’t exactly sure what he planned to do with that weapon and ammunition whilst having on a ski mask!
Homeland Security Investigators and Capitol Police were surveilling the area on Monday, which comes just days after former President Donald Trump was shot during an assassination attempt, when they noticed a suspicious man approaching, Fox News reported.
The man was carrying a tactical bag that had an AK-47 and ammunition inside, the report said. It’s not clear what he was planning to do.
“Milwaukee Police arrested a 21-year-old man for carrying a concealed weapon on July 15, 2024, at approximately 1:00 p.m., on the 1200 block of N. 11th Street,” the Milwaukee Police Department said in a statement. “United States Capitol Police initially observed the suspect looking suspicious, wearing a ski mask and a large tactical backpack in the street.”
my takeaway from the RNC thus far. People are elevating Trump to almost godlike status. Stop. The right man for the job now but not forever. Pray that Trump has those around him to remind him he is an image bearer, not the Image.
This BS. The manager of Butler Township says his officers found and radioed in about the shooter. Those on the “tactical channel” did nothing until the gunfire started.
“The officer who confronted Thomas Matthew Crooks on the roof radioed a “blanket tactical channel” that there was “an individual on the roof with a weapon” before the assassination attempt on President Trump.
Why wasn’t President Trump immediately evacuated?
Was the Secret Service listening to this “blanket tactical channel”?
Two officers went to the lowest point of the building. One officer boosted the other high enough to reach the roof, where he saw the shooter with a weapon.
Crooks turned and pointed his weapon at the officer, who then ducked and fell off the roof.”
The boosting officer and the officer that fell were both on the radio indicating that there was an individual on the roof that did, in fact, have a weapon.”
“There was a blanket tactical channel being used. Everyone who was on that tactical channel heard it.”
How much time was there between that radio communication and the gun being fired at President Trump?
It’s bad enough that the Secret Service didn’t put anyone on the most obvious roof 150 yards away.
But after two police officers radioed in that there was a guy on the roof with a gun, why wasn’t President Trump immediately evacuated?”
Idiots all. Diversity? Oh sure you can be on “long term parole” and a non citizen and still be a cop! Denver is a cesspool and they are dragging the rest of the state with them!

On Monday, the Denver City Council, on a unanimous vote, decided to leave it up to voters in November to decide if the city will remove its citizenship requirement for police and fire department jobs.
According to a 2022 national survey by the group Police Executive Research Forum, new officer hiring decreased by nearly 4% from year to year. At the same time, retirements and resignations surged.
The shortages have led to longer response times, burnout and even cutting back on patrols and other law enforcement strategies.
In Denver, non-citizens who qualify for the job can already apply and work for the Denver Sheriff Department and for other roles in the city and county.
This comes after the city settled a lawsuit in 2016 with the U.S. Justice Department regarding citizenship requirements for the Sheriff Department, finding it was in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Then, last year, a state law passed allowing DACA recipients in Colorado to possess firearms and serve as police officers, signifying a shift towards greater inclusivity. Cities like Aurora and Boulder have already been behind this effort.
Denver Fire DepartmentCBS
Denver City Councilwoman Jamie Torres of District 3 says this is an effort to diversify….
“This is not a lowering of the standard, it is actually one: erasing unemployment discrimination and two: diversifying our department,” said Torres. (Seriously”!!!!)
It’s all in the hands of voters come November, to allow noncitizen residents to apply for a job with the Denver Fire Department or the Denver Police Department.
Torres wants people to understand what non-citizen means. (Yes please tell your uninformed legal citizens!!)
“Noncitizen means legal permanent residents, green card holders, DACA recipients, it means folks who may be on long-term parole,” said Torres.
~ Are you kidding? I haven’t even read my kids’ texts this week. It’s a convention! But it’s as good a time as any to join the masses and read (or reread) “Hillbilly Elegy”—if only to see the many and varied ways Vance has changed policy views since 2016. ~
And this. I get it about some complaining they are hot all the while they don’t pay for living facilities. I too grew up in an age of no air conditioning and box fans ( we could make great wobbly voices when we talked into that fan!) We played in the sprinklers or swam in the pool. The thing that gets me is free housing for invaders here illegally…and they get free air conditioning and more…on the backs of taxpayers! Donald Trump will indeed remedy this ridiculousness!!
Some family shelters are in former hotels that are fully air-conditioned, but many of those shelters house newly arrived migrant families. (Aka illegall invaders of our country getting a free ride!)
Shelters for the rest of the homeless population are typically in buildings that do not have air-conditioning, the city said.
Mayor Eric Adams, who on Monday reminded New Yorkers that “a heat wave can be deadly and life-threatening if you are not prepared,” recommended on Tuesday that shelter residents simply suck it up.
“Everyday New Yorkers don’t have air-conditioners,” he said in response to a question about shelters at a news conference, “We make do: fans, paper fans. When I grew up as a kid, an air-conditioner? I didn’t even know what that was!” He said that when he was a child, his mother had told him to stick his head in the refrigerator when it was hot.
The city allows air-conditioners in units in the shelters that are not in hotels, but only if residents obtain a note from a health care provider saying that air-conditioning is medically necessary.
I don’t care how much Vance or anyone else has changed as long as I view it as a change for the better. After reviewing several interviews from 7 yrs ago, I think he has developed well with time, though I didn’t think he was bad then. But we shall see.
Reagan was once a Democrat. He said he didn’t leave the party. The party left him. I’d say the Democrats have left the USA….well if only…
I’m good with the Vance choice. No one is worshiping him nor Trump. The ones I see at the convention are hopeful their leadership can pull us out of this third world country created by the left and restore sanity to our constitutional republic.
Vance changed from Never Trump to pro Trump after he saw Trump’s presidency the first time. Trump pushed our priorities and principles, as he said he would. He delivered on many promises made. Establishment t types could learn from him, but their hatred for an outsider clouded their judgment, and is doing so again with Vance.
I spoke with my long time Dem friend who surprised me by saying she has watched more of the convention than I have and she seemed to like the message and indicated perhaps grace can be given for things in the past.

I’m starting to think the DEI hires at the Secret Service might be a really stupid idea.

“It’s amazing how many “legacy” conservatives—writers and old-school bloggers who came to prominence 20 years ago, during the Bush II era—simply don’t get it still. You could see it in their reactions to JD Vance getting selected as running mate, ranging from muted to disappointed to exasperated.
These are guys who support Trump and the New Right movement only incidentally and reluctantly, as the least bad option currently available to them. They’re not enthusiastic about having to do so, and they’re still hoping—yearning, even—for a return to the Republican Party of old, governed by Reagan’s tripartite coalition of Chamber of Commerce business conservatives, national security hawks, and Falwell-era Christian conservatives.
These people still—after nearly a decade!—view Trump and his associated movement as a fad. An unruly teenage period that will one day pass, after which the adults in the party can lead the GOP back to its respectable roots, and modern-day conservatives will learn proper reverence for the ideology of Ronald Reagan (born 1911) and William F. Buckley (born 1925).
Here’s what they either don’t get or refuse to come to terms with: That conservative movement is dead.
It died because it simply didn’t work, and it’s a death well-deserved.It died when George W. Bush, the spiritual—and biological—heir of the movement launched an unnecessary war that left thousands of Americans, most of them from working-class backgrounds, dead or maimed on the streets of Iraq.
It died when conservatives offered no solutions for the economic malaise affecting middle-class families aside from the standard tactic of cutting taxes, largely for those in the top 0.1% of households.
It died when the GOP didn’t do anything meaningful to address the crisis at the southern border or the crisis from the opioid epidemic.
It died when the GOP happily supported an agenda of offshoring and deindustrialization, to free up capital to return to the likes of Charles Koch, Mitt Romney, and private equity investors.
It died for countless reasons like these, and it is never coming back. Ever.
Despite this reality, evident to all but the most oblivious DC think-tank staffers, there remains a faction of the conservative movement that still blithely believes the future lies with the likes of Nikki Haley, Marco Rubio, or Ted Cruz. Intellectual descendants of the Bush clan, who still get their stale ideas from the yellowed pages of old print copies of the National Review. Establishment figures more than happy to return to a platform of foreign entanglement and domestic stagnation.
JD Vance, a working-class 39-year-old Iraq veteran, represents the long-term entrenchment of the New Right within the Republican Party, and he heralds the final demise of the legacy Reaganite movement.
With JD as Vice President and heir to the GOP throne, a conservative agenda authentically focused on strengthening working-class families, middle-class communities, and an American economy that works for all stakeholders, not just we capital providers, becomes permanently enshrined. What the establishment hopes is a passing fad becomes a decades-long agenda.
Because of JD’s youth, his eloquence, and his disregard for their failed ideology, this establishment may view him as an ever larger threat than they view Trump. I don’t think he minds their disdain.
I welcome JD Vance’s ascendance. And hopefully the rest of the movement soon does as well.”

“There’s some controversy about this because it’s unpleasant. But here’s the thing. We’re betraying our own powerless people if we don’t use the power we have to protect them by making the side that imposed these new rules feel the costs.
We have tried reason. We have tried appeals to simple justice. They have failed. Now we need to apply punishment. They need to know there is a cost to this. If we fail to impose a cost on them for doing this because doing so is unpleasant, we have betrayed our own people and left them exposed. The left will not stop unless it has reason to. This is reason to.
Sometimes you have to be stern.”

The nation is in very difficult times.
I remember that popular political button long ago, “Question Authority.”
God’s authority I don’t question. It is absolute and over all things. Forever.
But temporal authorities? We need to be willing to question those.
I find this a curious time in our history. I haven’t been “all in” for a politician since I was a teenager; I’ve learned (I hope) to question all of them to some degree, some more than others at times, granted, but even those I really like. (I’ve watched enough of them falter, fall short, and fail over time.)
We are all flawed and political power does things to people. We’d be no different.
Just beware of that “all in” trend in popular politics. It can crop up in difficult and stressful times (and so, I think, it has again).
Offered as just a caution, to always check our own political “enthusiasms.”
Love you all in Christ and that will always survive our temporal differences in this world.

Oh look they caught someone suspicious but they aren’t exactly sure what he planned to do with that weapon and ammunition whilst having on a ski mask!
Homeland Security Investigators and Capitol Police were surveilling the area on Monday, which comes just days after former President Donald Trump was shot during an assassination attempt, when they noticed a suspicious man approaching, Fox News reported.
The man was carrying a tactical bag that had an AK-47 and ammunition inside, the report said. It’s not clear what he was planning to do.
“Milwaukee Police arrested a 21-year-old man for carrying a concealed weapon on July 15, 2024, at approximately 1:00 p.m., on the 1200 block of N. 11th Street,” the Milwaukee Police Department said in a statement. “United States Capitol Police initially observed the suspect looking suspicious, wearing a ski mask and a large tactical backpack in the street.”

“The officer who confronted Thomas Matthew Crooks on the roof radioed a “blanket tactical channel” that there was “an individual on the roof with a weapon” before the assassination attempt on President Trump.
Why wasn’t President Trump immediately evacuated?
Was the Secret Service listening to this “blanket tactical channel”?
Two officers went to the lowest point of the building. One officer boosted the other high enough to reach the roof, where he saw the shooter with a weapon.
Crooks turned and pointed his weapon at the officer, who then ducked and fell off the roof.”
The boosting officer and the officer that fell were both on the radio indicating that there was an individual on the roof that did, in fact, have a weapon.”
“There was a blanket tactical channel being used. Everyone who was on that tactical channel heard it.”
How much time was there between that radio communication and the gun being fired at President Trump?
It’s bad enough that the Secret Service didn’t put anyone on the most obvious roof 150 yards away.
But after two police officers radioed in that there was a guy on the roof with a gun, why wasn’t President Trump immediately evacuated?”

Idiots all. Diversity? Oh sure you can be on “long term parole” and a non citizen and still be a cop! Denver is a cesspool and they are dragging the rest of the state with them!

On Monday, the Denver City Council, on a unanimous vote, decided to leave it up to voters in November to decide if the city will remove its citizenship requirement for police and fire department jobs.
According to a 2022 national survey by the group Police Executive Research Forum, new officer hiring decreased by nearly 4% from year to year. At the same time, retirements and resignations surged.
The shortages have led to longer response times, burnout and even cutting back on patrols and other law enforcement strategies.
In Denver, non-citizens who qualify for the job can already apply and work for the Denver Sheriff Department and for other roles in the city and county.
This comes after the city settled a lawsuit in 2016 with the U.S. Justice Department regarding citizenship requirements for the Sheriff Department, finding it was in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Then, last year, a state law passed allowing DACA recipients in Colorado to possess firearms and serve as police officers, signifying a shift towards greater inclusivity. Cities like Aurora and Boulder have already been behind this effort.
Denver City Councilwoman Jamie Torres of District 3 says this is an effort to diversify….
“This is not a lowering of the standard, it is actually one: erasing unemployment discrimination and two: diversifying our department,” said Torres. (Seriously”!!!!)
It’s all in the hands of voters come November, to allow noncitizen residents to apply for a job with the Denver Fire Department or the Denver Police Department.
Torres wants people to understand what non-citizen means. (Yes please tell your uninformed legal citizens!!)
“Noncitizen means legal permanent residents, green card holders, DACA recipients, it means folks who may be on long-term parole,” said Torres.

And this. I get it about some complaining they are hot all the while they don’t pay for living facilities. I too grew up in an age of no air conditioning and box fans ( we could make great wobbly voices when we talked into that fan!) We played in the sprinklers or swam in the pool.
The thing that gets me is free housing for invaders here illegally…and they get free air conditioning and more…on the backs of taxpayers! Donald Trump will indeed remedy this ridiculousness!!
Some family shelters are in former hotels that are fully air-conditioned, but many of those shelters house newly arrived migrant families. (Aka illegall invaders of our country getting a free ride!)
Shelters for the rest of the homeless population are typically in buildings that do not have air-conditioning, the city said.
Mayor Eric Adams, who on Monday reminded New Yorkers that “a heat wave can be deadly and life-threatening if you are not prepared,” recommended on Tuesday that shelter residents simply suck it up.
“Everyday New Yorkers don’t have air-conditioners,” he said in response to a question about shelters at a news conference, “We make do: fans, paper fans. When I grew up as a kid, an air-conditioner? I didn’t even know what that was!” He said that when he was a child, his mother had told him to stick his head in the refrigerator when it was hot.
The city allows air-conditioners in units in the shelters that are not in hotels, but only if residents obtain a note from a health care provider saying that air-conditioning is medically necessary.
