It’s a lever point in history. Millions of people want answers. Such is the demand for news on one of the last free platforms, Elon Musk reports that X usage hit another all time high yesterday. In the US, traffic was 23% higher than it had ever been on any single day ever.
Meanwhile all the people who know that Donald Trump is the Single Biggest Threat to Democracy, must be wondering why Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are so pleased that the Threat survived.
If Trump really is a “threat to democracy,” if he really is Hitler redivivus (as the New Republic cover currently has it), if he is going to usher in a Mordor-like totalitarian regime, then what could possibly be wrong with an assassination to save democracy? We lionize Bonhoeffer because of his willingness to be part of a plot to assassinate Hitler. Ehud did the Israelites a great service when he took out Eglon (Judg. 3:15
).
What kind of sense does it make for Biden to call Trump up to congratulate him on his survival if Trump really is a threat to democracy? The call reveals the hypocrisy and hollowness of the prior rhetoric. This reality puts them on the horns of a dilemma. If their rhetoric is to be believed, then Thomas Crooks is a hero and a martyr. If it is not to be believed, then why were they talking that way?
The Democrats were, of course, doing character assassination with galactic hyperbole
They were winding up the crowd and feeding the hate, then people got killed.
Ad hominem attacks are all very well until the crowd realizes they are on the same side as the bad guys. According to Joe Biden, the extreme MAGA Republicans want to stop you using contraception, you will have no right to marry who you love... MAGA Republicans look at the darkness and see carnage and despair… yet somehow it’s the good guys who are shooting at the families in the crowd. It’s not supposed to be this way.
Every American should watch this video, especially those on the left who are about to start preaching about “lowering the temperature.”
This was the President of the United States dehumanizing and vilifying 35% of the country on primetime TV.

As Vivek Ramaswamy points out, the Democrat media have been demonizing the opposition for 150 years. In 1865 they said Abraham Lincoln was a tyrant, a dictator, they said it would be the end of the United States as we know it. That he would make the US a laughing stock…
Paul Joseph Watson has spliced together the sequence of events at the attempted assassination, showing just how long the would-be-assassin had to prepare while in full view of a very agitated crowd who could see him on the roof and were trying to warn people. There goes that idea that the Secret Service are dedicated patriots, and experts, and the best on Earth.
Just in: Donald Trump has chosen JD Vance to run for Vice President (skipping the whole DEI theme, and deciding to treat female voters like adults with brains instead of like teenage girls wanting a cheer squad.) On X, MAGA fans seem happy about this, which means the Deep State definitely won’t be. Vance has been endorsed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy already.
But such is the moment we are living through, people are seeing it as divine providence that Trump turned his head at the moment the bullet went past. Such is the mood, that a video of of an eerie prophesy of Pastor Brandon Biggs is going viral. Three months ago he said that the Lord told him a bullet would pass just by President Trumps ear, so close it would break his eardrum… It’s quite spooky.
Gears are shifting. People report seeing MAGA hats in San Francisco, and others tell the story of conversion from a Trump hater to being a silent supporter too afraid to speak up over the years, but now finally coming out, unashamedly.
The narrative has always painted the picture that Trump is just a narcissist seeking power and fame. But how much fun is it to be shot at? Who, exactly, wants to be indicted and face jail and fines of hundreds of millions of dollars? The latest event shows how wrong the narrative is.
Donald Trump is a billionaire, he doesn’t have to do this. He could retire and play golf and fly from resort to resort.
Instead of getting rich being President, like the rest of the political class, it’s costing him a fortune — and possibly everything he has.

A police countersniper team reportedly was inside the building in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday at the same time a 20-year-old man attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
There is nothing more stupid than guv@work.

Maybe they are the guys who shot Trump. The kid on the roof in long pants, shorts when dead, could not sight Trump from that position on the roof. He was below the ridge line and died there. Does not make sense. The bullet in flight came from the building , not the roof if you do the ballistics.
21
The local police were in the building with the shooter on the roof for 26 minutes. When the secret service lined up on the building they could not fire immediately as it was occupied by police not on their real-time comms band.
Keystone cops.
10
or
Was the local police force replaced by Secret Service appointed contractors.
They told the SS counter sniper team that they controlled the building.
This was a hit orchestrated by the DoHS, DoJ and WH.
There will be a comms control van on-site. Someone will have removed it by now.
Did Crooks work for the DoHS? Who paid for the membership etc for the rifle club?

If you are an Australian, you may not understand a person like JD Vance, but American patriots and people who love America do. He is the anti-Pence.
Watch the movie or read the book “Hillbilly Elegy.” Vance is the real deal. Go to the heart of Appalachia and you find lots of people like him. Observe the culture. People in Sydney, Melbourne or Canberra, New York City or Boston wouldn’t last one week there.
He was a US Marine and Yale law graduate. His wife is a daughter of Indian immigrants and is Yale Law and Cambridge PhD. These people weren’t born with a silver spoon in their mouths. In the 1930’s, Hollywood would make a Horatio Alger movie about them.
America produces really good people from time to time and he is one them. Trump just made the best move he ever made.

His son Donald Trump, Jr is is now his adviser and he wanted Vance.
Trump was just shot. The dopey kid missed.

Caitlin Johnstone explains the overall picture of politics, so clear now we have those who were calling for Trump’s removal praying for his survival-
“In Washington they’re all on the same team and have generally cordial relationships with the people on other side of the aisle. They just encourage normal Americans to feed all their discontent with the status quo into a hyper-emotional political environment where the barely-existing divisions between the two major factions are inflamed by mainstream pundits and politicians so that their anger will go toward the completely ineffectual activity of voting instead of more direct and revolutionary measures. From the perspective of the empire managers it’s hostile partisan rage for thee, amicable cocktail party relations for we.”
“The two “sides” of mainstream politics are not fighting against one another, they’re only fighting against you. Their only job is to keep you clapping along with the two-handed puppet show as they rob you blind and tighten your chains while your gaze is fixed on the performance.”

I have long said that western politics is more like a team sport, say footy. Watch parliament (a match) and you will see people on each side behaving like they want to kick the sh1t out of the guys on the other side. Until the the cameras are switched off (the final whistle blows) they’re at each other like demons and all that matters is ‘their side’.
But then, after the match, they’re all in the same pub buying each other beers. The following week, a player may even swap teams. Turns out they aren’t so loyal after all, especially if a big fat cheque is waved at them.
The voters (fans) meanwhile, are the only folks who actually care about ‘their team’.

He seems to have learned and/or been advised to be a bit more “cool.”
Those with TDS* haven’t noticed, being more fixated on things he did or said years ago.
*responding to statements and political actions by Trump in a manner verging on the irrational, without regard to his actual position or action taken.
50
I came to the same conclusions as Paul Joseph Watson almost straight away and my suspicions just got stronger as time passed . I reckon that the security guy from the local shopping mall would have straight away identified that roof top as a top risk that needed security in place . The two police snipers were clearly watching the assassin for some time before the first shots were taken . They would have observed him taking aim prior to the first shot . Yet they waited until AFTER he had got those first few shots away before opening fire ?
Yeh , the same FBI and other government agencies that have been conducting war-fare against Donald Trump for years were given the responsibility to keep him safe ! Fox in charge of the hen house !
They may or may not have been colluding with the assassin but they definitely left the door ajar and hoped something would happen .

Another Delcon >It’s pretty hard to argue against what this guy says
Agreed. Just the route to roof-top and getting access to the roof for starters. That had to planned in advance.
If it wasn’t i.e. it was an impromptu act, it was an extraordinary feat – think ladder (where was that? – police got one) or facility stairway (which one?), then “moving roof to roof”. It all came together by sheer chance?
But then, there’s another perspective and I’ll repeat a reply to CO2 Lover on the Open Thread :
CO2 Lover >Their [counter sniper] role is to scan for long distance threats 500+ yards out – a sniper rifle can have a range of 2000 yards plus
Me >So in this day and age with that gear and skill around why would any entity need an intermediary doofus like Brooks?
If there was such an entity with serious intent, Trump would have already been offed from great distance and USSS would have no idea where the shot came from given their clueless performance at Butler.
Even at the top of their game the task of locating a skilled sniper for pre-emptive counter is near impossible.

Failed Trump Assassin Purchased Ladder and 50 Rounds of Ammo on the Morning of the Rally, According to New Report
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/failed-trump-assassin-purchased-ladder-50-rounds-ammo/
CNN reports:
The report noted, “It’s not clear whether Crooks used the ammunition or the ladder that he bought on Saturday during his attack later that day.” However, a ladder was prominently propped up against the building where Crooks would shoot from.
40
How do you sneak past people with a very tall ladder. Plus 50 rounds of ammo, a rifle with stand and telescopic sights and nochanantly carry these to the shed and assemble all these and climb on the roof and expect no one to notice? Parking must have been amazingly good at such a big event.
30
The only thing I would say against that theory which most intelligent people are making is, if the FBI pair really were waiting for the first shot to be fired, which intimates either a direct order from above or they were a pair of Democrat extremists without a brain in their own heads, they would have to be the dumbest pair of people on the planet. They were totally exposed to the public. As with January 6th where there appeared to be a lot of unidentifiable characters stirring up the crowd and who seem to have disappeared from answering questions later, I wonder if those two are available for questioning.
So much appears to be unaccountably absurd how this day unfolded, yet the American commentariat like to claim the US Secret Service and FBI are the most effective and protective organisations in providing cover for VIPs.
160
I have seen a few comments like this from expert snipers now. They are all missing the obvious. Crookes wasnt helped to get in there and make the shot. He was selected by insiders and delivered to the rooftop and instructed what to do. It was a lot more than help, it was planned by Trump’s political enemies. They must be found and given suitable punishment ASAP.

At first, the water tower seems the obvious choice but it is actually highly visible and anyone on it would stand out. Same with a utility pole but I don’t think that would be a consideration for a skilled sniper.

It’s difficult to believe that anyone could make such fatuous remarks. Perhaps the mayor reckoned the death of Corey Compertore was staged too.
This failed assassination will probably go down in the history books as a pivotal moment in the decline of the USA. It epitomises the division and chaos we have become accustomed to seeing in the press.
50
Regarding the Trump attempted Assassination, all of these USA’n Politicians crapping on about how horrible it was are just paying lip service. The USA is a violent Nation always engaging in Wars all over the Planet. How many gun deaths are there in the USA each year? How many assassination attempts on Presidents and others with dire consequences have there been since the USA was first formed?
For Bumbling Joe Biden to say that there is no place for Political violence in the USA means that he has never studied his own Country’s history.

I do not believe that the would-be assassin was in any way working for the Democrats, or other shadowy government types. However, I am coming round to thinking that they somehow got wind of the guy’s plan to kill Trump at the rally and set out to make it as easy as possible for him, without being too obvious about it.
Starting with the questions around seemingly lax security, in particular the strange decision to place that rooftop OUTSIDE the high security perimeter, despite its obvious utility for a sniper. One excuse for this appears to be that the security detail was short handed. This is where it gets interesting.
The reason they were short-handed? Why it’s because Jill Biden, who outranks ex-president Trump for security protection,was holding her own small event not far away. Not only in the same area. Not only on the same day, but at the exact same time. This required that the security people focused principally on Jill Biden, leaving fewer than ideal staff to protect Trump, hence the shrunken and fatally-flawed ‘perimeter’.
What are the chances, eh? This is why I now wonder if somebody knew that guy was planning to take shots at Trump, at that event, possibly because of something he’d said on social media or in a text message. We don’t know because the super spies can’t get into his run-o-the-mill mobile phone. However they found out, there was then a meeting convened to talk about how they could legitimately give the assassin his best shot while they had plausible deniability.
70
Re the ‘prophecies’ – I worked out 5 month ago that for The Democrats to win the next election they had to do one of 2 things.
1. Get rid of Biden
2. Get rid of Trump (I’m glad he survived).
I point out that they haven’t been able to do either. Trump is OK as he becomes the Republic nominee shortly after which they get Vance and a landslide.
Biden may survive nomination because
a. The Democrats (Hidden State) may have decided they will lose and be too busy covering their tracks before the Inauguration or fleeing to Canada or Ukraine.
b. putting Harris up against Trump would only make loss worse.
Feel free to dispute this.

I think the only thing the Democrate establishment fear more than Trump. Is a Democrate in power, that they don’t own. Reform will come from within the party.

It was obvious that Thomas Crooks was working to a strict schedule that day.
He climbed to the roof 30 minutes before the assassination attempt and waited in a position where he could not sight his target. He was apparently seen and his presence reported to police before he climbed onto the roof.
He must have received a signal to move up to the sighting position on the roof by an accomplice, probably someone in the audience close to the podium.
The event security plan required security to be present on the roof. Yet those personnel were not in position, and co-ordinating security made no attempt to check that they were in position until Crooks was ready to shoot.
Crooks attempted assassination failed and he was promptly killed.
It’s quite reasonable to infer that in some way Crooks was working for the Democrats, or other shadowy government types.

In there a thought I hadn’t seen before –
” Is it possible, though, that “Joe Biden” holds blackmail material over his party confederates? After all, he’s still president. He has access to things you’d never dream of and, demented as he is, he has plenty of help close at hand from Hunter, Dr. Jill, and the Lawfare posse for sorting it out. He probably knows a thing or two about his old pard Barack Obama, too, that would make some folks uncomfortable. So, looks like “JB” is fixing to hang in there as his party’s nominee, and whoever doesn’t like it can go suck an egg.”

It’s most likely the opposite case. Obama, Hillary, and others are pulling the strings connected to Joe Biden. Biden is corrupt having milked China for all it’s worth plus more. Joe Biden is truly and scarily mentally deficient. He is not in charge of the US government nor even his own faculties.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said he plans to commit roughly $45 million each month to a new fund backing Donald Trump for US president, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
Musk’s donations will go to a political group dubbed America PAC, which will focus on promoting voter registration, early voting and mail-in ballots among residents in swing states ahead of the November general election, the Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

What always amuses me about the progressive left calling conservatives like Trump or Tony Abbbot the next Hitler or Fascists is the greatest tyrants of the modern era were from the left.
Stalin: Russian Social Democratic Labour Party – Communists
Hitler: National Socialist German Workers’ Party – Nazi’s
Mussolini: Partito Nazionale Fascista (common group) – Fascists
Moa Zedong: Chinese Communist Party – Communists
The left are fascists in it’s modern interpretation.

The nearly successful attempt to assassinate Donald Trump has swung a lot of people. If it’s a war of good and evil, the evildoers are now on the Democrat side. And no one wants to be there. Especially black voters. And those who have had enough of woke.
Trump has snookered them with JD Vance. 39 years old, a self made man and hero in every way. And a PhD from Cambridge. A Yale lawyer and Venture Capitalist. And a family man and military man. Three children and a wife with Indian parents. Is there a box left unticked? And his extraordinary life journey will inspire many who are feeling the pressure in their lives under Bidenomics. Plus he is young enough,fit enough to be ready for the next election, at the same age as the legendary and similar John Kennedy at 43.
Now there is no point in assassinating Trump. It will only make Vance the President, less than half the age of Biden. Game over, Obama.

Is everybody enjoying the A-grade BS fake news?
No bullets fired. Nobody injured. FALSE FLAG.

So the guy killed in the audience and the 2 people critically injured were, what, crisis actors? Yeah, go tell them… Trump was utterly transformed, first night of the convention last night. No way it was fake. He was a man who knew he was utterly blessed to still be alive. The BBC kept using the word “rapturous” to describe both his reception and how he looked. He’s not that good of an actor! He looked like a completely different man when he entered the hall last night. Looked utterly humbled and like he might actually burst into tears, for the longest time. And he apparently ripped up the speech he was planning on giving Thursday night and has been working on an entirely new one.
Biden’s a non-viable candidate. He’s going around allowing the whole country to see just how deep into dementia he is. He can’t even read from a teleprompter anymore. Linjured former Trump and battle boxes!

I’ve read that that building was to be secured by local police. So, others might have thought the person there was a local (city/county/state) officer.
I think we will know more of what happened in about a month. At least three congressional committees are establishing hearings. The first will be next Monday.

Having seen the available evidence, it is clear the police snipers had aimed at the shooter as a known threat, and it is also clear that no action was taken to protect the president when there was a known threat. Unless or until it can be proven as incompetence, it should be treated as collusion by those who were required to get the President to safety.
