We keep talking about the assassination attempt of Mr. Trump. What about the lives of those killed and injured? The SS ineptness shows callous disregard for the safety of all those present.
If they don't care about the life of an unborn baby, or a sick adult, or all the people jabbed with their toxic cocktail,WHY, on Yhwh's green Earth,would you expect concern there???
I have heard much about the lives of Mr. Cooperators who was killed and the 2 others who were critically injured. What I haven’t heard about, except once on RAV tv was that there were others who had contact with a bullet requiring medical treatment. Rep Dr Ronnie Jackson (former WH MD) said his nephew was at the rally in the friends and family section and a bullet grazed his neck requiring medical treatment. I saw a man in the video with what appeared to be a large blood stain on his white T-shirt. I assume he was. either near the man who had his brain blown out or one of the others who were shot. Who knows how many people near that seen who may now have PTSD.
I believe the man with the stain on his shirt was the doctor who tried to help Corey Comperatore. As for PTSD, I pray that people will reflect on their mortality and turn to Christ.
I hate autocorrect. It made my husband's day once when I sent him a text, while shopping with my 90 something mom, in which for some reason, I was trying to say my mom was using a coupon and autocorrect changed it to condom.
Had the Secret Service done their jobs, no one would have been killed or injured. Perhaps not even the shooter. In protecting the president, they would have protected those in attendance. There was obviously no coordination between the SS and local police. Catastrophic failure by both agencies.
She also stated in an interview I saw that they decided not to put a sharp shooter on the building Crooke shot from “because it was sloped”. Which is a ridiculous pathetic excuse as it hardly has a slope that I observed and in fact looks relatively flat.
It looks like it has less steep a slope than the one the State Police sniper team was on. So far, the following excuses have been given:
It was too steep (but not too steep for a gray haired FBI man to stand on with a hose, apparently doing crime scene cleanup and destroying evidence? ).
It was the responsibility of local law enforcement because it was outside the venue perimeter.
It was too hot, so the team that was supposed to be on the roof from which the murderer shot went into the air conditioned building instead.
If you are in construction most would say the slope of the SS counter-sniper hangout was about a 3:12 pitch roof, that is, 3" down for each 12" horizontal.
The slope on the sniper's roof looks to be about a 1:12 slope.
SO, how did the poor fellows defending Trump get the highest slope around while no one was placed on the taller building BEHIND the shooter, ALSO with a 1 or 2:12 pitch?!
Sloped? You've got to be kidding. That is beyond lame.
"Control the high ground" has been a tactic/adage for millennia. When you want the advantage for your own side, that is. Letting the other guy control the high ground is a good way to end up losing.
I don't see any possible reality where that shooter should have lived long enough to fire even 1 bullet.
Their criminal conspiracy or absolute incompetence cost an innocent man his life. They should be charged with negligent homicide or something similar.
SS and Homeland Security should cough up at least the expenses for medical coverage, medical and funeral costs and an estimate of his lifetime earning. At the very least!
Well, ain’t that just too bad…yes indeed we have a real concern here….getting hard to find real masculine males, who aren’t concerned about tripping on their high heels and flipping their pink hair extensions
I love the shot of the SS crouching behind! Trump during the shooting! In a meme they photoshopped her doing dishes. Unbelievable these “ladies”. The one in front also crouched and already so short she exposes his head as well as his chest so crouch down more!
You’d like the meme showing a news article with a pic of Trump in a courtroom and the heading is Trump Indicted for Inciting an Assassination Attempt! Brutally dark, but funnier than heck.
After all, this insane scenario in the Bee would be the ultimate expression of anti-Trump lawfare.
It somehow reminds me of the recent true crime story in which a young woman thwarted her rapist by disabling him with pepper spray. She was to be prosecuted for using pepper spray which is illegal in her jurisdiction.
Good point. Real “masculine” males, They’re out here, just not as plentiful as they were years ago. For decades, the feminists have been trying to totally do away with “toxic masculinity”…to make men more feminine.
The roof did appear to me to be slightly sloped. But trained snipers would be able to handle this. And part of the preparation could have included a cooling blanket under the counter sniper to protect him from the heat of the metal roof on that very hot day. Even drones above the roof could have been surveilling it and the surrounding area.
Not as sloped as the roof the police countersnipers were on. And the gentle slope made it ideal for sniping, as the shooter could remain largely hidden behind the ridge. Plus, the soy boy had far less protective clothing than the countersnipers, yet was man enough to go prone.
Actually, the best point for a sniper was the taller building behind, pointed out by John. . . He could NOT have been taken out after his kill shot if THERE. More evidence there is incompetence on both the SS part and the boy-sniper's.
I’ve seen pics of SS on the Capitol building, now that’s what I call sloped! Besides, didn’t the ladder sort of give away the fact that it would be easily accessible?
The most compelling thing about Trump for me now is the fact that the globalist cabal wants him dead, Confirms him as a real threat to their evil agenda.
What this confirms to me is that the US Government wants him dead. They send their least competent, they sweep and then make ridiculous decisions not to secure the area, they send out blatant messages that he should be eliminated, after saying he’s a bullseye, “I didn’t say that, I meant crosshairs”! even by the President? and Cheatle is never ever ever going to leave secure in her position even after being responsible for the injury and near assassination attempt of a former President, the killing of one brave man, critically injuring two, grazing the neck of the former White House doctor’s nephew? If this isn’t an MK Ultra style mission I don’t know what is.
Actually, when asked about the bullseye remark, Biden strangely replied that he didn't say crosshairs. Twice he said that and said he used the word bullseye, meaning there should be focus on Trump's agenda. He also denied any rhetoric on his part which might incite violence, then proceeded to talk about how terrible Trump is and to lie about him.
Must have been another interview. This guy can’t even keep his interviews straight. I clearly heard him say he didn’t mean bullseye he meant crosshairs.
Perhaps so. The one I referred to was the one with Lester Holt on July 15. From the transcript:
LESTER HOLT: Well, let’s talk about the conversation this has started. And it’s really about language, what we say out loud and the consequences of those. You called your opponent an existential threat. On a call a week ago you said, “It’s time to put Trump in the bull’s-eye.” There’s some dispute about the — the context, but I think you appreciate that words matter —
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I didn’t say cross-hairs. I was talking about focus on. Look, the truth of the matter was what I guess I was talking about at the time was there was very little focus on Trump’s — agenda.
LESTER HOLT: Yeah, the term was “bull’s-eye.”
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: It was — it was a mistake to use the word. I didn’t mean — I didn’t say “cross-hairs.” I meant “bull’s-eye” I meant focus on him. Focus on what he’s doing. Focus on — on his — on his policies. Focus on the number of lies he told in the debate.
Where did you get that Black Rock was involved? If you’re referring to the Ad that Crooks appeared in, that Ad featured an AP class on finance and Crooks was one of a number of other students in the class. Crooks had no speaking role in the class and his image was shown very briefly as the camera panned across the class.
No, I didn't even know about the ad, 'til I saw it in the comments here; rather it was 1 of many articles I read yesterday that covered the connection. But as it was unconfirmed, I did not make it an unqualified statement. That said, given who and what Black Rock is, it would not surprise me to find their fingerprints on this.
Yes and so why is she just allowed to decide she will continue in her position? Someone needs to tell her “no, you don’t get to decide when you’re incompetent and so obviously lying. You’re fired!”
To me this was a setup. I've heard the snipers were given orders not to fire. I've heard other things too -- like they couldn't see the shooter as a reason they didn't fire but that's obviously not true given the height advantage they had on top of that red building. The fact that no one was covering that set of buildings, that the shooter somehow knew this, and was able to get a ladder in there and climb up before people noticed means he had help. He had guidance, likely a lot of other guidance and assistance beforehand, and someone made sure no one covered those buildings and that he knew to go there. Then someone ordered the counter-snipers to stand down until the shooter was able to get off his shots. It was a miracle Trump survived what is an obvious assassination attempt by security state forces. Was there incompetence? Sure. But it wasn't just incompetence that aligned everything that brought the attempt a fraction of an inch from succeeding.
That was supposedly sent from one of the LEOs who was inside the building and went outside to see the man with the rangefinder and then went outside again and saw same man with a backpack and, supposedly, called it in again. To whom not specified in anything I have read.
This is not a matter for federal agents. Federal agents are the reason this occurred. A federal investigation is akin to a fox investigating the deaths of all the hens in the hen house. What is needed is an independent investigation & those investigators need to be carefully vetted.
Credibility of report that a Univ. of Colorado lab outside of Boulder in Denver did an accoutic(s) analysis and their preliminary conclusion is that there were two shooters. BTW who are the controlled media spokespeople trying to lead us away from facts toward the "plausible deniability" scenario. Seems obvious that with the internet, drones, cell phone cameras and witnesses that "they" would anticipate such a Tsunami of push back on their narrative that there were failures and there will be scapegoats. Because Trump was not killed media does not have a blanketing story, post mortem narrative which would have been the obfucation via chaos around Trump's death, whereas now we have professional sleuths using the internet Bee Hive to cross pollinate theories. After 9-11 the counter narratives arose well after the incident due to the trauma, and, I suspect for at least 2 reasons; social media and independent researchers where less empowered by sites like Twitter/X and substackers like John (notice John stopped reporting on Maui 'cause he knew further reporting was dangerous to his corporeal integrity), and Americans were traumatized, too traumatized to think esp. with the instantaneous propaganda, pre-emptive narrative control that Al Quaida (sp) did it. Complex legal doc., 300 Page "Patriot Act" all ready composed to weaken civil liberties. Whereas here, because Trump was not killed, there is no diversion to confuse and stall. So there's space now for another organic argument, narrative. As others have pointed out a patsy seems to be part of the receipe for assassinations by intelligence services;it was not Sirhan Sirhan (kill shot came from directly behind RFK, not in front where Sirhan was),and Oswald. So, conveniently the position of Crooks left him exposed; he was'nt concerned as according to Michael Yon traumitizing "Manchurian Candidate" operators, and in this case likely a patsy, is now formulatic coming out of MKUltra experiments on unwitting civilians. Pray for Peace and a better future than the one we're being herded toward. This event certainly further enfeables that Deep States push esp. if the internet remains a viable source of information exchange, and most importantly we organize into communities to express our outrage, not passive in our fear.
Remember, propaganda is MORE effective when the lies told are clearly lies and the subjects under rule must accept it anyway. "I'm lying. You know I'm lying. I know you know I'm lying. I will get away with lying anyway."
Law enforcement traced his actions 48 hours prior and said that he bought 50 rounds of ammo at the gun range, later bought a 5 foot ladder at home Depot. The photo of the scene shows a ladder against the building roughly 10 feet tall that was not an extension ladder.
A different photo of the assumed shooter on the roof with a rifle, no scope, wearing glasses and looking over the rims as he is aiming. If this guy took that first shot it was purely accidental he even got close.
Too much bullshit. Fire a bunch of people and publish the forensics.
For several years, we have watched the unprecedented efforts to remove Mr. Trump by every conceivable and inconceivable means. Each new evil scheme was more severe than before as court cases piled up along with massive fines.
Again, this whole nefarious process has no equal. Multiple criminal charges, finding him guilty by a jury given illegal jury instructions, a raid on his home with orders to kill, civil cases managed by unscrupulous lawyers and judges, and two unsuccessful impeachment trials by corrupt representatives in Congress. I am sure I missed a few items, but you understand.
The Deep State and individuals from both political parties worked tirelessly to eliminate Mr. Trump from running for President again and even stopping him from communicating either with censorship on social media or publicly through court-ordered gag orders.
What is left to use against Mr Trump as the election becomes closer? I think you guessed correctly. When using this type of reasoning, events become much more apparent.
Until the current administration and legacy media stop preaching their vicious hate speech against half or more of all American citizens, this isn't over, not by a long shot. No pun intended.
The Dems (and global elites) had no other option, if the goal was to keep Trump out of office. The election will be between Trump and a head of lettuce so voter turnout will be low for Democrats.
I live in a lefty controlled state so my vote doesn't count but I'll vote Trump anyway as a protest.
Common sense says let's not put DEI hires who's prior work experience was protecting Doritos from stoners into the top job protecting presidents, past presidents and candidates. DEI hires who think protecting Trump is no different than protecting a bag of Cheetos. Who hired and assigned a bunch of short, fat, bumbling supermarket loss prevention employees to his security detail. But, they checked the DEI box!!
So, if when a female or minority police officer or security person messes up, it's due to DEI, then what is it when a white male employee screws up, which has also happened many times in major incidents? Why are they not viewed the same? We had screwups of this nature long before DEI was even a thing. From what has been revealed so far, if accurate, it sounds like the boots on the ground acted quite well, noticing suspicious behavior, reporting the person on the roof to higher ups, taking photos of him, etc. It seems the failure was more than likely higher up the chain and not those working on the ground in his security detail.
We are at heightened risk because of DEI. But I have been saying all along, when the next jet goes down for mechanical failure, if the pilot is a minority, no matter how skilled that person might be, it will be blamed on DEI. DEI has harmed minorities and the rest of us who might be passed over for a promotion because we don’t fit the DEI check box, rather than selecting the most qualified person. We need to abandon the DEI nonsense and get back to meritocracy now!
Mechanical failure is not usually the fault of the pilot. That would be the manufacturer or maintenance.
You mention getting "back to meritocracy". Sure, that would be great, if it was actually merit based and not the way things were done before. Do you really think there was ever a lot of meritocracy in government hires? A lot of hires in top positions have been based on who was the big donor to campaigns or someone's cousin or golfing buddy. Take Betsy Devos, for example. She was hired because she and her spouse were big donors, not because she had any merit based reason to be Secretary of Education. Getting high level government appointments, in past history, has often been simply about money and connections, not merit. I even see that at the local level in my town.
Exactly my point. Mechanical failure not the fault of the pilot, but if pilot a minority, (s)he would be blamed for the plane going down. I guess poor choice of words, “getting back to.” Surely government positions have never been based on merit. But all positions in the private sector should be based on merit.
She’s certainly behaving like a diversity hire—incompetent behavior followed by BS excuses for said behavior: “The roof was sloped.” She also supports the 30x30 initiative.
Haven't seen any particular evidence of that, one way or the other. Only the people who vetted candidates would know the truth on that. All the rest is speculation. I know she was favored by certain people at the time of the nomination. She did have 27 years experience with the Secret Service, including high level management positions.
A 5'2" 170 lb supermarket loss prevention clerk will not make a Secret Service protection agent. Their first instinct was to duck and protect themselves, not their protectee. No matter how much you wish it differently. Even a fit Wonder Woman doesn't beat Superman...these were not fit Wonder women.
I dreamed I had Dan Marino's arm. No matter how hard I dreamed it I never had Dan Marino's arm. And if I had been hired as an NFL QB I'd have sucked. There are natural limitations in life. A 5'2" 170 lb loss prevention clerk has to know theirs.
But you're right, the failure was higher up, putting a 5'2" 170lb supermarket loss prevention clerk in a position they weren't capable of filling. DEI denies natural limitations exist. Fantasy makes for poor reality.
The male officer that climbed the roof wanted to protect himself. The head of his department said he dropped to the ground because he didn't want to be shot. So, do you view that the same way, then? Are you being consistent?
Yeah, they should be relegated to typing reports, answering phones, making coffee, and ordering lunch for the office. The women agents (most of them) at the rally were clearly scared shitless and unable to act under duress... ;-)
And, was the male officer that climbed the roof scared when the rifle was pointed to him? There have been female Secret Service agents for over 50 years. If we find that some of the males onsite did not act quickly or adequately, will you say then that all males should be relegated to typing and answering phones? When male officers have failed to protect students in school shootings, out of fear, do you then conclude that all males should not have those positions? That's the logic you are saying.
How about the focus be on whoever screwed up at this event, rather than how tall a person is? The focus should be on whatever happened between the first sighting of the suspicious person and the shooting, and why the roof wasn't covered/cleared. I think the height of people is way down on the list of problems. If a future candidate is 6'4", are we going to say no men 6' can be on his security detail?
#GirlPower only goes so far in the real world. No matter how much you stammer and stomp your feet. The higher up protector of Doritos had no business putting physically incapable and poorly trained supermarket loss prevention clerks in that position. That was the screw up. The DEI SS head and the DEI agents. #GirlPower is Hollywood fiction.
Why do you keep talking about supermarket clerks? The Secret Service has had female agents for over 50 years. And, in what way was any of the multiple failures at the Trump event related to the physicality of females? Be specific.
The SS head was PepsiCo's security chief. PepsiCo is hundreds of products you find in a supermarket. The DEI SS chief protects supermarket products. The SS agents she hired - her #1 priority for the SS is making it at least 30% female. Fat, short, unfit and bumbling women are quite capable at protecting supermarket products. President's? You're as high on crack cocaine as Hunter Biden if you think they could ever be up for the task.
(Note: female SS agents protecting presidents is a very new development. Female agents weren't assigned to that roll fifty years ago. Tracking down counterfeit currency roles have quite different physical requirements. You going on to argue the inarguable reveals Hunter Biden-like crack cocaine delusional belief in #GirlPower. But you go, gurl! Keep hittin' that glass pipe!
She worked for Pepsico for 2 years after leaving the Secret Service where she had been employed for 27 years, including top level management. She worked for the Secret Service throughout the Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump administrations. So, you are basically saying that 2 years, heading up the global security department of Pepsico somehow negates a 30 year career at Secret Service? And, you think that heading up global security at a company with over 300,000 employees around the world, including in areas where active wars are ongoing, is about protecting chips?
I know teenagers get pretty good shooting a rifle at home from practing but this guy didn’t own a gun himself so I highly doubt he went to a shooting range for target practice and we have to admit that was a good shot bc if Trump wouldn’t had turned his head slightly like he did things would have been horrible. That brings me to my question: where did he learn to shoot a target head on like that? The reports they give of him are he was smart and into computers and no mental health problems. I’m sorry, but guys like this that I have known usually aren’t into hunting, or anything else outside of computers. There is definitely something off whether he was a fall guy, or whatever but some things just do not add up with this kid. (Ofc we know there are more involved) I am just thinking there are things no one is telling about the boy or something. Unfortunately it may never come out bc he is dead so no court, no documents with information which means no FOIA’s can be field to get anything. (Covering tracks?)
How do we know the boy had no mental health problems. Seems answering that question would take some time. He looked to me like he might. Or a disability that is technically not a mental illness, but is, for example, on the autism spectrum.
I would like to see a chromosomal analysis of Crooks. Was he just homely? His face appears concave to me with a flat nose and generally misproportioned features.
Isn’t it the cias usual method to have a second shooter within their ranks and they blow the head off the suspected shooter once confirmed by him shooting? Seems so.
I just read his classmates said he was interested in video games and hunting. His father owns the gun. The kid sometimes wore his hunting clothes to school. He was a loner and was bullied. Was enrolled to attend an engineering course at a college. Nothing else about him particularly stood out except of course him being in that Blackrock ad.
He, reportedly, won awards in math and science. He was in an AP class in finance and Black Rock filmed the Ad in his class. Crooks’ image was only momentarily seen in the Ad as the camera panned the class of students. I have no reason, at this time, to give any significance to him and Black Rock.
I feel better knowing that the FBI is working tirelessly. "The FBI did not "currently have an identified motive, although our investigators are working tirelessly to attempt to identify what that motive was," Pittsburgh Special Agent in Charge Kevin Rojek said."
"I suspect that local law enforcement officials have been given the strong impression that this is matter for federal agents, meaning there is nothing to be gained by discussing it with the media."
Actually, I suspect they have been threatened with very severe consequences if they open their mouths to speak with anyone at all.
The entire incident reeks of either incompetence or internal malfeasance... or both... The very idea that a trained SS agent/sniper can't manage a roof slope is errant nonsense & truthfully a pathetic attempt at a dodge. There is simply NO excuse... It's difficult to wrap one's mind around the idea that this atrocity was allowed to happen... but with what viewers could see, coupled with way President Trump has been treated since he won his first term... it all seemingly adds up to a last desperate attempt to remove President Truimp from the ballot... Heartbreaking though it is... the young man (& any accomplices) did not care if an attendee was injured... I'd imagine they were callously considered to be "simple collateral damage." Horrific acts of evil... no way to begin to feel the pain of the families involved.
My creative thinking mind wants to know why the police were reportedly "in the building" instead of patrolling the building. The danger was not inside the building it was outside the building. Maybe the officers were having a rousing game of Euchre? I want to hear their side of the story so my BS defences can evaluate the truthfulness of their story.
The fish rots at the head. The DHS runs the SS and both are led by incompetents and criminal types. So, I don't blame the local cops, as they always defer to the "professionals". This almost catastrophe (not to ignore the collateral death and injuries, which are in themselves so tragic) is completely on the Feds.
We keep talking about the assassination attempt of Mr. Trump. What about the lives of those killed and injured? The SS ineptness shows callous disregard for the safety of all those present.
If they don't care about the life of an unborn baby, or a sick adult, or all the people jabbed with their toxic cocktail,WHY, on Yhwh's green Earth,would you expect concern there???
Read the who's Codes Alimentarius, if they haven't pulled by now; that is NOT "news"!
Exactly what expert claims this event to have been the result of 'ineptness'?
Neglect, incompetence? More likely corruption...
Highly skilled corruption.
Try intent...
More Likelly, Sure, How About “SCREAMS of”
I have heard much about the lives of Mr. Cooperators who was killed and the 2 others who were critically injured. What I haven’t heard about, except once on RAV tv was that there were others who had contact with a bullet requiring medical treatment. Rep Dr Ronnie Jackson (former WH MD) said his nephew was at the rally in the friends and family section and a bullet grazed his neck requiring medical treatment. I saw a man in the video with what appeared to be a large blood stain on his white T-shirt. I assume he was. either near the man who had his brain blown out or one of the others who were shot. Who knows how many people near that seen who may now have PTSD.
I believe the man with the stain on his shirt was the doctor who tried to help Corey Comperatore. As for PTSD, I pray that people will reflect on their mortality and turn to Christ.
No disrespect meant to Mr. Comperatore and the misspelling of his name. Autocorrect problem.
I hate autocorrect. It made my husband's day once when I sent him a text, while shopping with my 90 something mom, in which for some reason, I was trying to say my mom was using a coupon and autocorrect changed it to condom.
Ha ha
Allie. . . see those tiny black dots? 3 of them to the right of your post . . .
CLICK on them. You can edit your spelling.
One killed and two injured...
The Secret Service's job is not to protect everyone, just the president.
The local and state law enforcement dropped their balls.
Had the Secret Service done their jobs, no one would have been killed or injured. Perhaps not even the shooter. In protecting the president, they would have protected those in attendance. There was obviously no coordination between the SS and local police. Catastrophic failure by both agencies.
Since I don't know for a fact that anyone was killed or injured, it is theater to me.
She also stated in an interview I saw that they decided not to put a sharp shooter on the building Crooke shot from “because it was sloped”. Which is a ridiculous pathetic excuse as it hardly has a slope that I observed and in fact looks relatively flat.
It looks like it has less steep a slope than the one the State Police sniper team was on. So far, the following excuses have been given:
It was too steep (but not too steep for a gray haired FBI man to stand on with a hose, apparently doing crime scene cleanup and destroying evidence? ).
It was the responsibility of local law enforcement because it was outside the venue perimeter.
It was too hot, so the team that was supposed to be on the roof from which the murderer shot went into the air conditioned building instead.
Entirely agree. It's so absurd and ridiculous I'd laugh if not for the deadly consequences.
I remember when I was a raw recruit, telling my Sergeant that is was too hot.
After a few minutes of words I'd never say here, I spent the rest of the day with a full.kit running around in the sun.
After that I kept my opinion on the weather to myself.
These guys in the SS need to stop lying.
They had all.kinds of gear to.keep them cool 😎
Perhaps their badge was too itchy, or too heavy
I bet that was it!
Venue perimeter does not equate to protection perimeter.
Protection required out to at least 300 yards-- 900 ft.
Reasonable sniper shots could occur out to 600 yds; longest at over 900.
130 yds is "cake".
Right. It was designated outside SS zone by SS.
Gotta maintain a safe workspace. What if a sniper were wearing high heels--any metal roof might be unsafe in heels.
If you are in construction most would say the slope of the SS counter-sniper hangout was about a 3:12 pitch roof, that is, 3" down for each 12" horizontal.
The slope on the sniper's roof looks to be about a 1:12 slope.
SO, how did the poor fellows defending Trump get the highest slope around while no one was placed on the taller building BEHIND the shooter, ALSO with a 1 or 2:12 pitch?!
Sloped? You've got to be kidding. That is beyond lame.
"Control the high ground" has been a tactic/adage for millennia. When you want the advantage for your own side, that is. Letting the other guy control the high ground is a good way to end up losing.
I don't see any possible reality where that shooter should have lived long enough to fire even 1 bullet.
Their criminal conspiracy or absolute incompetence cost an innocent man his life. They should be charged with negligent homicide or something similar.
And treason.
Peace.
SS and Homeland Security should cough up at least the expenses for medical coverage, medical and funeral costs and an estimate of his lifetime earning. At the very least!
The DIRECTOR of SS and Homeland Security, personally, should cough it up.
not from our taxes.
They should see that his widow and children are set for life.
Aside from that CLEARLY someone could stay up there it’s all bs and lies lies lies
Well, ain’t that just too bad…yes indeed we have a real concern here….getting hard to find real masculine males, who aren’t concerned about tripping on their high heels and flipping their pink hair extensions
Thank the feminists for that and their decades of anti -manliness propaganda!
https://youtu.be/EeyhKWjQaKk
Beautiful music but the lyrics and point are kinda' hard to get.
I get it though. . . Superman's funeral and all like him happened long ago.
What'stheconnection?
That's OK. If I need to explain then it's probably a left fielder.
Could be a generational thing too...
I love the shot of the SS crouching behind! Trump during the shooting! In a meme they photoshopped her doing dishes. Unbelievable these “ladies”. The one in front also crouched and already so short she exposes his head as well as his chest so crouch down more!
I didn't want to say that being a guy.
but now that you mention it. . . YEAH!
Being a guy? This is exactly how they’re controlling us. Be loud, be proud, expose them rug rats! I’m behind you 100%!
Yes Maam!
You’d like the meme showing a news article with a pic of Trump in a courtroom and the heading is Trump Indicted for Inciting an Assassination Attempt! Brutally dark, but funnier than heck.
Would like to see that meme!
That was the Bee: https://babylonbee.com/news/trump-indicted-for-inciting-assassination-attempt
Thank you, M.C.
After all, this insane scenario in the Bee would be the ultimate expression of anti-Trump lawfare.
It somehow reminds me of the recent true crime story in which a young woman thwarted her rapist by disabling him with pepper spray. She was to be prosecuted for using pepper spray which is illegal in her jurisdiction.
Good point. Real “masculine” males, They’re out here, just not as plentiful as they were years ago. For decades, the feminists have been trying to totally do away with “toxic masculinity”…to make men more feminine.
Pre engineering buildings which this building appears to be have a roof slope from 0.5% to 1 in 12 which I can easily walk on.
yup, 1:12, my assessment too.
nothing flatter except a typical, built-up flat tar roof!
The roof did appear to me to be slightly sloped. But trained snipers would be able to handle this. And part of the preparation could have included a cooling blanket under the counter sniper to protect him from the heat of the metal roof on that very hot day. Even drones above the roof could have been surveilling it and the surrounding area.
Not as sloped as the roof the police countersnipers were on. And the gentle slope made it ideal for sniping, as the shooter could remain largely hidden behind the ridge. Plus, the soy boy had far less protective clothing than the countersnipers, yet was man enough to go prone.
Actually, the best point for a sniper was the taller building behind, pointed out by John. . . He could NOT have been taken out after his kill shot if THERE. More evidence there is incompetence on both the SS part and the boy-sniper's.
I’ve seen pics of SS on the Capitol building, now that’s what I call sloped! Besides, didn’t the ladder sort of give away the fact that it would be easily accessible?
The most compelling thing about Trump for me now is the fact that the globalist cabal wants him dead, Confirms him as a real threat to their evil agenda.
What this confirms to me is that the US Government wants him dead. They send their least competent, they sweep and then make ridiculous decisions not to secure the area, they send out blatant messages that he should be eliminated, after saying he’s a bullseye, “I didn’t say that, I meant crosshairs”! even by the President? and Cheatle is never ever ever going to leave secure in her position even after being responsible for the injury and near assassination attempt of a former President, the killing of one brave man, critically injuring two, grazing the neck of the former White House doctor’s nephew? If this isn’t an MK Ultra style mission I don’t know what is.
Actually, when asked about the bullseye remark, Biden strangely replied that he didn't say crosshairs. Twice he said that and said he used the word bullseye, meaning there should be focus on Trump's agenda. He also denied any rhetoric on his part which might incite violence, then proceeded to talk about how terrible Trump is and to lie about him.
Thanks for clarifying. Sometimes I skim through this stuff too quickly. And sometimes I respond defensively too quickly.
Must have been another interview. This guy can’t even keep his interviews straight. I clearly heard him say he didn’t mean bullseye he meant crosshairs.
Perhaps so. The one I referred to was the one with Lester Holt on July 15. From the transcript:
LESTER HOLT: Well, let’s talk about the conversation this has started. And it’s really about language, what we say out loud and the consequences of those. You called your opponent an existential threat. On a call a week ago you said, “It’s time to put Trump in the bull’s-eye.” There’s some dispute about the — the context, but I think you appreciate that words matter —
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I didn’t say cross-hairs. I was talking about focus on. Look, the truth of the matter was what I guess I was talking about at the time was there was very little focus on Trump’s — agenda.
LESTER HOLT: Yeah, the term was “bull’s-eye.”
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: It was — it was a mistake to use the word. I didn’t mean — I didn’t say “cross-hairs.” I meant “bull’s-eye” I meant focus on him. Focus on what he’s doing. Focus on — on his — on his policies. Focus on the number of lies he told in the debate.
Yes, and shows their "threat" was not an idle one, if, indeed, Black Rock was involved, as appears to be the case.
Where did you get that Black Rock was involved? If you’re referring to the Ad that Crooks appeared in, that Ad featured an AP class on finance and Crooks was one of a number of other students in the class. Crooks had no speaking role in the class and his image was shown very briefly as the camera panned across the class.
No, I didn't even know about the ad, 'til I saw it in the comments here; rather it was 1 of many articles I read yesterday that covered the connection. But as it was unconfirmed, I did not make it an unqualified statement. That said, given who and what Black Rock is, it would not surprise me to find their fingerprints on this.
And he's now got one helluva reason to take as many of them down as possible. Bull in a China Shop for POTUS!
Everything about her is zero credibility. Fits in well with the whole administration.
Yes and so why is she just allowed to decide she will continue in her position? Someone needs to tell her “no, you don’t get to decide when you’re incompetent and so obviously lying. You’re fired!”
She knows the Biden administration has her back. She's doing what they want.
To me this was a setup. I've heard the snipers were given orders not to fire. I've heard other things too -- like they couldn't see the shooter as a reason they didn't fire but that's obviously not true given the height advantage they had on top of that red building. The fact that no one was covering that set of buildings, that the shooter somehow knew this, and was able to get a ladder in there and climb up before people noticed means he had help. He had guidance, likely a lot of other guidance and assistance beforehand, and someone made sure no one covered those buildings and that he knew to go there. Then someone ordered the counter-snipers to stand down until the shooter was able to get off his shots. It was a miracle Trump survived what is an obvious assassination attempt by security state forces. Was there incompetence? Sure. But it wasn't just incompetence that aligned everything that brought the attempt a fraction of an inch from succeeding.
What about the report that a sniper took a picture of the shooter with his rangefinder and sent it to his superiors?
If true he likely had the shooter in his sights the whole time. Watched him shoot.
That was supposedly sent from one of the LEOs who was inside the building and went outside to see the man with the rangefinder and then went outside again and saw same man with a backpack and, supposedly, called it in again. To whom not specified in anything I have read.
Either way it sounds like complete incompetence at the least, and perhaps far worse.
See the water tower behind? A lot of (apparent) witness reports speak of a shooter (of some kind) on the tower.
Via Malone, "ARNGRIMR" posted a negation to this suggestion: https://arngrimr.substack.com/p/trump-shooting-update-no-second-shooter?utm_source=cross-post&publication_id=811335&post_id=146690108&utm_campaign=583200&isFreemail=true&r=pdvgq&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email
This is not a matter for federal agents. Federal agents are the reason this occurred. A federal investigation is akin to a fox investigating the deaths of all the hens in the hen house. What is needed is an independent investigation & those investigators need to be carefully vetted.
Credibility of report that a Univ. of Colorado lab outside of Boulder in Denver did an accoutic(s) analysis and their preliminary conclusion is that there were two shooters. BTW who are the controlled media spokespeople trying to lead us away from facts toward the "plausible deniability" scenario. Seems obvious that with the internet, drones, cell phone cameras and witnesses that "they" would anticipate such a Tsunami of push back on their narrative that there were failures and there will be scapegoats. Because Trump was not killed media does not have a blanketing story, post mortem narrative which would have been the obfucation via chaos around Trump's death, whereas now we have professional sleuths using the internet Bee Hive to cross pollinate theories. After 9-11 the counter narratives arose well after the incident due to the trauma, and, I suspect for at least 2 reasons; social media and independent researchers where less empowered by sites like Twitter/X and substackers like John (notice John stopped reporting on Maui 'cause he knew further reporting was dangerous to his corporeal integrity), and Americans were traumatized, too traumatized to think esp. with the instantaneous propaganda, pre-emptive narrative control that Al Quaida (sp) did it. Complex legal doc., 300 Page "Patriot Act" all ready composed to weaken civil liberties. Whereas here, because Trump was not killed, there is no diversion to confuse and stall. So there's space now for another organic argument, narrative. As others have pointed out a patsy seems to be part of the receipe for assassinations by intelligence services;it was not Sirhan Sirhan (kill shot came from directly behind RFK, not in front where Sirhan was),and Oswald. So, conveniently the position of Crooks left him exposed; he was'nt concerned as according to Michael Yon traumitizing "Manchurian Candidate" operators, and in this case likely a patsy, is now formulatic coming out of MKUltra experiments on unwitting civilians. Pray for Peace and a better future than the one we're being herded toward. This event certainly further enfeables that Deep States push esp. if the internet remains a viable source of information exchange, and most importantly we organize into communities to express our outrage, not passive in our fear.
Remember, propaganda is MORE effective when the lies told are clearly lies and the subjects under rule must accept it anyway. "I'm lying. You know I'm lying. I know you know I'm lying. I will get away with lying anyway."
What about the reports that the shooter actually carried a ladder from his vehicle to the building!
Law enforcement traced his actions 48 hours prior and said that he bought 50 rounds of ammo at the gun range, later bought a 5 foot ladder at home Depot. The photo of the scene shows a ladder against the building roughly 10 feet tall that was not an extension ladder.
A different photo of the assumed shooter on the roof with a rifle, no scope, wearing glasses and looking over the rims as he is aiming. If this guy took that first shot it was purely accidental he even got close.
Too much bullshit. Fire a bunch of people and publish the forensics.
The ladder was there...
For several years, we have watched the unprecedented efforts to remove Mr. Trump by every conceivable and inconceivable means. Each new evil scheme was more severe than before as court cases piled up along with massive fines.
Again, this whole nefarious process has no equal. Multiple criminal charges, finding him guilty by a jury given illegal jury instructions, a raid on his home with orders to kill, civil cases managed by unscrupulous lawyers and judges, and two unsuccessful impeachment trials by corrupt representatives in Congress. I am sure I missed a few items, but you understand.
The Deep State and individuals from both political parties worked tirelessly to eliminate Mr. Trump from running for President again and even stopping him from communicating either with censorship on social media or publicly through court-ordered gag orders.
What is left to use against Mr Trump as the election becomes closer? I think you guessed correctly. When using this type of reasoning, events become much more apparent.
Until the current administration and legacy media stop preaching their vicious hate speech against half or more of all American citizens, this isn't over, not by a long shot. No pun intended.
The Dems (and global elites) had no other option, if the goal was to keep Trump out of office. The election will be between Trump and a head of lettuce so voter turnout will be low for Democrats.
I live in a lefty controlled state so my vote doesn't count but I'll vote Trump anyway as a protest.
Both Dan Bongino and Tucker Carlson previously said the same thing and predicted that there would be an assassination attempt.
Common sense says let's not put DEI hires who's prior work experience was protecting Doritos from stoners into the top job protecting presidents, past presidents and candidates. DEI hires who think protecting Trump is no different than protecting a bag of Cheetos. Who hired and assigned a bunch of short, fat, bumbling supermarket loss prevention employees to his security detail. But, they checked the DEI box!!
It was embarrassing to see the 3 ladies clearly mixed up about where to go, what to do. One couldn't even holster her gun the first and second times!
Who would benefit from assigning short, fat, stupid people to Trump's security detail?
Oh yeah, Jill Biden was in Pittsburgh at the same time and needed security people, so that affected availability of competent staff.
How convenient.
So, if when a female or minority police officer or security person messes up, it's due to DEI, then what is it when a white male employee screws up, which has also happened many times in major incidents? Why are they not viewed the same? We had screwups of this nature long before DEI was even a thing. From what has been revealed so far, if accurate, it sounds like the boots on the ground acted quite well, noticing suspicious behavior, reporting the person on the roof to higher ups, taking photos of him, etc. It seems the failure was more than likely higher up the chain and not those working on the ground in his security detail.
We are at heightened risk because of DEI. But I have been saying all along, when the next jet goes down for mechanical failure, if the pilot is a minority, no matter how skilled that person might be, it will be blamed on DEI. DEI has harmed minorities and the rest of us who might be passed over for a promotion because we don’t fit the DEI check box, rather than selecting the most qualified person. We need to abandon the DEI nonsense and get back to meritocracy now!
Mechanical failure is not usually the fault of the pilot. That would be the manufacturer or maintenance.
You mention getting "back to meritocracy". Sure, that would be great, if it was actually merit based and not the way things were done before. Do you really think there was ever a lot of meritocracy in government hires? A lot of hires in top positions have been based on who was the big donor to campaigns or someone's cousin or golfing buddy. Take Betsy Devos, for example. She was hired because she and her spouse were big donors, not because she had any merit based reason to be Secretary of Education. Getting high level government appointments, in past history, has often been simply about money and connections, not merit. I even see that at the local level in my town.
Exactly my point. Mechanical failure not the fault of the pilot, but if pilot a minority, (s)he would be blamed for the plane going down. I guess poor choice of words, “getting back to.” Surely government positions have never been based on merit. But all positions in the private sector should be based on merit.
Top of the chain is a DEI hire.
She’s certainly behaving like a diversity hire—incompetent behavior followed by BS excuses for said behavior: “The roof was sloped.” She also supports the 30x30 initiative.
Haven't seen any particular evidence of that, one way or the other. Only the people who vetted candidates would know the truth on that. All the rest is speculation. I know she was favored by certain people at the time of the nomination. She did have 27 years experience with the Secret Service, including high level management positions.
A 5'2" 170 lb supermarket loss prevention clerk will not make a Secret Service protection agent. Their first instinct was to duck and protect themselves, not their protectee. No matter how much you wish it differently. Even a fit Wonder Woman doesn't beat Superman...these were not fit Wonder women.
I dreamed I had Dan Marino's arm. No matter how hard I dreamed it I never had Dan Marino's arm. And if I had been hired as an NFL QB I'd have sucked. There are natural limitations in life. A 5'2" 170 lb loss prevention clerk has to know theirs.
But you're right, the failure was higher up, putting a 5'2" 170lb supermarket loss prevention clerk in a position they weren't capable of filling. DEI denies natural limitations exist. Fantasy makes for poor reality.
The male officer that climbed the roof wanted to protect himself. The head of his department said he dropped to the ground because he didn't want to be shot. So, do you view that the same way, then? Are you being consistent?
So you're saying the short, fat stupid officers did the best they could? I agree.
At the very least, those SS women were too short for the job they were doing. There are many other important positions in SS that they could be doing.
Yeah, they should be relegated to typing reports, answering phones, making coffee, and ordering lunch for the office. The women agents (most of them) at the rally were clearly scared shitless and unable to act under duress... ;-)
And, was the male officer that climbed the roof scared when the rifle was pointed to him? There have been female Secret Service agents for over 50 years. If we find that some of the males onsite did not act quickly or adequately, will you say then that all males should be relegated to typing and answering phones? When male officers have failed to protect students in school shootings, out of fear, do you then conclude that all males should not have those positions? That's the logic you are saying.
Valid point!
How about the focus be on whoever screwed up at this event, rather than how tall a person is? The focus should be on whatever happened between the first sighting of the suspicious person and the shooting, and why the roof wasn't covered/cleared. I think the height of people is way down on the list of problems. If a future candidate is 6'4", are we going to say no men 6' can be on his security detail?
#GirlPower only goes so far in the real world. No matter how much you stammer and stomp your feet. The higher up protector of Doritos had no business putting physically incapable and poorly trained supermarket loss prevention clerks in that position. That was the screw up. The DEI SS head and the DEI agents. #GirlPower is Hollywood fiction.
Why do you keep talking about supermarket clerks? The Secret Service has had female agents for over 50 years. And, in what way was any of the multiple failures at the Trump event related to the physicality of females? Be specific.
The SS head was PepsiCo's security chief. PepsiCo is hundreds of products you find in a supermarket. The DEI SS chief protects supermarket products. The SS agents she hired - her #1 priority for the SS is making it at least 30% female. Fat, short, unfit and bumbling women are quite capable at protecting supermarket products. President's? You're as high on crack cocaine as Hunter Biden if you think they could ever be up for the task.
(Note: female SS agents protecting presidents is a very new development. Female agents weren't assigned to that roll fifty years ago. Tracking down counterfeit currency roles have quite different physical requirements. You going on to argue the inarguable reveals Hunter Biden-like crack cocaine delusional belief in #GirlPower. But you go, gurl! Keep hittin' that glass pipe!
You failed to answer my question: "In what way was any of the multiple failures at the Trump event related to the physicality of females?"
She worked for Pepsico for 2 years after leaving the Secret Service where she had been employed for 27 years, including top level management. She worked for the Secret Service throughout the Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump administrations. So, you are basically saying that 2 years, heading up the global security department of Pepsico somehow negates a 30 year career at Secret Service? And, you think that heading up global security at a company with over 300,000 employees around the world, including in areas where active wars are ongoing, is about protecting chips?
The height of the SS agents is not my focus. It is just one observation.
I know teenagers get pretty good shooting a rifle at home from practing but this guy didn’t own a gun himself so I highly doubt he went to a shooting range for target practice and we have to admit that was a good shot bc if Trump wouldn’t had turned his head slightly like he did things would have been horrible. That brings me to my question: where did he learn to shoot a target head on like that? The reports they give of him are he was smart and into computers and no mental health problems. I’m sorry, but guys like this that I have known usually aren’t into hunting, or anything else outside of computers. There is definitely something off whether he was a fall guy, or whatever but some things just do not add up with this kid. (Ofc we know there are more involved) I am just thinking there are things no one is telling about the boy or something. Unfortunately it may never come out bc he is dead so no court, no documents with information which means no FOIA’s can be field to get anything. (Covering tracks?)
How do we know the boy had no mental health problems. Seems answering that question would take some time. He looked to me like he might. Or a disability that is technically not a mental illness, but is, for example, on the autism spectrum.
I would like to see a chromosomal analysis of Crooks. Was he just homely? His face appears concave to me with a flat nose and generally misproportioned features.
Isn’t it the cias usual method to have a second shooter within their ranks and they blow the head off the suspected shooter once confirmed by him shooting? Seems so.
I just read his classmates said he was interested in video games and hunting. His father owns the gun. The kid sometimes wore his hunting clothes to school. He was a loner and was bullied. Was enrolled to attend an engineering course at a college. Nothing else about him particularly stood out except of course him being in that Blackrock ad.
I would bet that there is a deeper connection with Blackrock and where you might find motive and who and what directed all of this...
He, reportedly, won awards in math and science. He was in an AP class in finance and Black Rock filmed the Ad in his class. Crooks’ image was only momentarily seen in the Ad as the camera panned the class of students. I have no reason, at this time, to give any significance to him and Black Rock.
You should!
There’s info in this article about his shooting… which seemed odd
He tried to join the school’s riffle club… but he was too ‘dangerous’ 🧐
but then he joined a shooting club…
https://abc7chicago.com/post/donald-trump-assassination-attempt-suspect-had-registered-republican/15058563/
I feel better knowing that the FBI is working tirelessly. "The FBI did not "currently have an identified motive, although our investigators are working tirelessly to attempt to identify what that motive was," Pittsburgh Special Agent in Charge Kevin Rojek said."
Wow.
He and his father were members of a gun range. I believe I read that he had gone there a day or so before the event.
"I suspect that local law enforcement officials have been given the strong impression that this is matter for federal agents, meaning there is nothing to be gained by discussing it with the media."
Actually, I suspect they have been threatened with very severe consequences if they open their mouths to speak with anyone at all.
The entire incident reeks of either incompetence or internal malfeasance... or both... The very idea that a trained SS agent/sniper can't manage a roof slope is errant nonsense & truthfully a pathetic attempt at a dodge. There is simply NO excuse... It's difficult to wrap one's mind around the idea that this atrocity was allowed to happen... but with what viewers could see, coupled with way President Trump has been treated since he won his first term... it all seemingly adds up to a last desperate attempt to remove President Truimp from the ballot... Heartbreaking though it is... the young man (& any accomplices) did not care if an attendee was injured... I'd imagine they were callously considered to be "simple collateral damage." Horrific acts of evil... no way to begin to feel the pain of the families involved.
My creative thinking mind wants to know why the police were reportedly "in the building" instead of patrolling the building. The danger was not inside the building it was outside the building. Maybe the officers were having a rousing game of Euchre? I want to hear their side of the story so my BS defences can evaluate the truthfulness of their story.
The fish rots at the head. The DHS runs the SS and both are led by incompetents and criminal types. So, I don't blame the local cops, as they always defer to the "professionals". This almost catastrophe (not to ignore the collateral death and injuries, which are in themselves so tragic) is completely on the Feds.
