Secret Service director: Shooter's roof was too sloped to secure Trump rally * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
Secret Service director: Shooter's roof was too sloped to secure Trump rally * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
So how was a 20-year-old able to get within firing range of Trump while the Secret Service agents were supposed to be securing the location, and local police were helping.
"Diversity," the commentary charged, "has not managed to save a single person under the Secret Service's protection, at least that we know about, which makes the prominence given to that word just a little bit odd. And the fact that it makes it look like Cheatle was a diversity hire isn't her only issue…"
In Trump, I See a Combat Leader | The Free Press
When I led Marines in battle, I never showed my fear. Faced with gunfire, the former president had the same instinct. - Elliot AckermanWhen I led raids as a Marine Corps officer in Iraq and Afghanistan, I used to move around the objective with my hands in my pockets.
I did this to show the Marines that I wasn’t afraid—even if I was.
- Acting calm in a firefight wasn’t always easy, but it’s what a combat leader does.
- Whatever you think of Trump, he proved himself to be a combat leader on Saturday...

Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia
- Section 3: President's declaration of inability[edit]
- Section 3. Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.
- Section 3 allows for the voluntary transfer of presidential authority to the vice president (for example, in anticipation of a medical procedure) by the president declaring in writing to be unable to discharge the powers and duties of the presidency. The vice president then assumes those powers and duties as acting president;[note 1] the vice president does not become president and the president remains in office, although without authority. The president regains those powers and duties upon declaring, in writing, to be again able to discharge them.[3]: 112-3
Headed For Obsolescence’: Chinese Automakers Could Be Poised to Wipe Out American Car Titans
Chinese competitors are poised to take over approximately one-third of the global market share by 2030 with particularly strong growth in Europe, South America and Asia driven by EVs and plug-in hybrids, AlixPartners projects in its report. - NICK POPE
“China is the industry’s new disruptor – capable of creating must-have vehicles that are faster to market, cheaper to buy, advanced on tech and design, and more efficient to build.

For traditional [manufacturers], keeping pace with China’s strongest brands will require more than a course correction.”
Secret Service responsible for security failure at rally while trying to blame local police, says district attorney | Blaze Media
Secret Service responsible for security failure at rally while trying to blame local police, says district attorney | Blaze Media:
Butler County district attorney Richard Goldinger made the claim in an interview with the Washington Post. Goldinger said that the SWAT teams in his jurisdiction were located within the secure perimeter while it was the responsibility of the Secret Service to secure the area outside of that perimeter.
“Secret Service was in charge, and so it was their responsibility to make sure that the venue and the surrounding area was secure," he explained.
“There’s something Eric Hoffer said: ‘Intellectuals cannot operate at room temperature.’
Instapundit- All this talk about “turning down the heat” after the assassination attempt reminded me of something
...I read on Instapundit years ago that resonated with me, so I searched and found it:
https://instapundit.com/462312/
As Thomas Sowell told an interviewer in 2004, “There’s something Eric Hoffer said: ‘Intellectuals cannot operate at room temperature.’
So here is the catch-22 Democrats face when told to “turn down the heat”: Trump IS the heat Democrats need in order to function. If they can’t continue to bloviate and hyperbolize about Trump as an existential threat, then they’re paralyzed. They will fall from their high perches like Florida iguanas in winter. And then this just becomes a contest between one candidate that takes bullets and another that takes naps. They can’t have that.
This seems right to me. Also: “a contest between one candidate that takes bullets and another that takes naps.” Brilliant. - by Glenn Reynolds

Nearly 30 mins before assassination attempt, officer spotted suspected shooter on roof and reported him, sources say | Blaze Media
Nearly 30 mins before assassination attempt, officer spotted suspected shooter on roof and reported him, sources say | Blaze Media:
That person called in the report of a suspicious person and also took a photo of the man who was later confirmed to be Crooks, according to the report.
WPXI said it was unclear whether Crooks had a gun when he was first spotted.
About 26 minutes later, the gunshots were fired at the former president.
The revelation will likely increase the scrutiny placed on the Secret Service agents and other law enforcement officials who were tasked with protecting Trump at the rally.
Assassination Porn and the Sickness on the Left - Victor Davis Hanson
Now, it as if the imagined killing of Trump had been mainstreamed and become acceptable in a way inconceivable of other presidents. - Victor Davis Hanson @VDHanson
(Do we remember the rodeo clown who merely wore an Obama mask during a bull riding contest and was punished by being permanently banned by the Missouri State Fair authorities?)
So since at least 2016 there has been a parlor game among Leftist celebrities and entertainers joking (one hopes), dreaming, imagining, and just talking about the various and graphic ways they would like to assassinate or seriously injure Trump:
- By slugging his face (Robert De Niro),
- by decapitation (Kathy Griffin, Marilyn Manson),
- by stabbing (Shakespeare in the Park),
- by clubbing (Mickey Rourke),
- by shooting ( Snoop Dogg),
- by poisoning (Anthony Bourdain),
- by bounty killing (George Lopez),
- by carrion eating his corpse (Pearl Jam),
- by suffocating (Larry Whilmore), by blowing him up (Madonna, Moby),
- by throwing him over a cliff (Rosie O’Donnell),
- just by generic “killing” him (Johnny Depp, Big Sean), or
- by martyring him (Reid Hoffman: “Yeah, I wish I had made him an actual martyr.”).
Or should we deplore the use of telescopic scope imagery, given that the Left blamed Sarah Palin for once using bullseye spots on an election map of opposition congressional districts, claiming that such usage had incited the mass shooting by Jared Lee Loughner?..
Media hypocrisy on display!-----Biden Flails Trying to Defend "Bullseye" Remark About Trump JAZZ SHAW
Things got a bit dicey, however, when Holt asked Biden about his recent comments saying that he needed to put Donald Trump "in a bullseye"
Biden made a couple of attempts at defending his remarks, but let's just say that it didn't go well. (NY Post)
She clearly wasn't identifying literal targets for physical attacks, but that's how the left decided to run with it, so here we are...
...But the Democrats are the ones who set up the rules for this game, dating back at least to their scathing criticism of Sarah Palin for posting a map with some crosshairs on it.President Biden appeared to defend saying that Democrats should put Donald Trump in a “bullseye” less than a week before the former president was shot, saying “I didn’t say crosshairs.”
“I was talking about ‘focus on,'” the 81-year-old president told NBC anchor Lester Holt in an interview Monday.
“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.”

A woke joke: Secret Service failure for Trump blamed on leftist insanity * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
The question Rufo raised: "Why so many female agents? The answer, unfortunately, is the same as in many other institutions: DEI. The Secret Service has highlighted 'diversity' as a key priority and its director, Kimberly Cheatle, hired by President Biden in 2022, has pledged to increase dramatically the number of women in the ranks."
So now the official policy of the Secret Service is to hire, and promote "woman, LGBT, Native Americans, and other identity groups" as a higher priority than the absolute brute strength needed to protect a president or candidate.
Sketchy Business Behind: Thomas Matthew Crooks - The Last Refuge
I’m having trouble believing the constructed narrative around President Trump’s attempted assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks.
- ...According to what little data footprint is available and shared by media, Thomas Matthew Crooks, age 20, DOB: 09-20-2003, had no social media presence. Let that sink in for a moment. A 20-year-old in 2024 with no social media presence.
- No TikTok, WhatsAp, Telegram, SnapChat, Insta, Twit, FB, gaming profile or Apple ID to correspond with his almost guaranteed iPhone, XBox or Playstation? Sorry, not even close to plausible.
- Second, it’s Deja-vu all over again with the picture (seen above left) that is widely being used by media in stories about Matthew Crooks. The above image is his freshman high school picture. [SEE HERE]
- There are no recent or current pictures of 20-year-old Crooks taken by friends, family, or in this era, selfies? And the picture on the left is the best image the media can come up with?

Earlier, another rally attendee told BBC News he tried to alert authorities to the gunman, to no avail.
"We're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof," the man explained.
"He had a rifle, we could clearly see him with a rifle absolutely. We're pointing at him. The police are down there running around on the ground. We're like. Hey man, there's a guy on the roof with a rifle. And the police were like, Huh, what? Like they didn't know what was going on. …
