Some reports are that the parents called before the rally, another report, alledgedly from the police, states the parents didn't call until after the rally. Makes a huge difference, but not sure which version is correct. (At this point I'm less inclined to take the police version at face value.)
Next, the House oversight committee contacted the SS indicating they wanted to talk to Cheatle on the 22nd, I think for sworn testimony. Then I see a report that Mayorkas is refusing to let her comply, and after that a report that Comer has now subpoenaed her. Crazy.
More info which may or may not be helpful. This report claims long before the speech started.
Parents of Would-Be Trump Assassin Called Police Hours Before PA Rally
There's been another new revelation reported as the investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump continues, and this one raises more questions about what law enforcement knew and when they knew it ahead of the attack that rocked the Trump rally, killed one attendee, and critically wounded two others.
According to Fox News, the shooter's parents were struggling to find their son the day he clambered onto a rooftop near the rally stage and began firing at Trump before being taken out by counter snipers. His parents then, according to the report "eventually called law enforcement to indicate that he was missing and they were worried" in "the hours leading up to the Trump rally shooting."
Fox said it remains "unclear what his parents told the authorities, but the call happened on Saturday before [the shooter] later opened fire at Trump during the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania." The report stated that the parents remain "cooperative with authorities."
A motive for the attempted assassination of Trump remains unconfirmed.
Earlier reports revealed that the shooter was scheduled to work on Saturday but "told his boss he needed the day off because he had 'something to do.'" The shooter reportedly told his boss he'd be back to work on Sunday. His most recent known job was as a dietary aide at a nursing and rehab center in the area.

But not just losing their job, aren't all these people lamenting that the shooter failed due a visit from the SS and/or the FBI?

So now the shooter is walking around the grounds with a gun, ladder, backpack and seen using a range finder. He's a 20 year old pimply kid whack job but he somehow is able evade authorities and compromise multiple levels of security by local law enforcement AND the SECRET SERVICE, uses a ladder to get on the roof gets spotted by rally attendees who report to authorities he is on the roof with a gun. And he still manages to get multiple shots off at a presidential candidate.
I think we have broken the threshold of just mere incompetence.

A short while ago Jake Tapper on CNN showed a compilation video of Biden goofs, mistakes, significant memory lapses, and general screw ups. As Tapper said, the compilation video was just from the last few days. It sure seems like a lot of the MSM press has turned on Biden.

It's only because they know now that FJB has no chance of beating Trump in November. They have to hurry up and help push him off the cliff, so his replacement has a better chance.

Biden’s Team Deliberately Kneecapped Trump’s Security To Allow An Assassination Attempt
They kept the rooftop open, watched the shooter, kept Trump on the stage, and didn’t do a damn thing until after he had been shot. And we’re supposed to believe it was an innocent oopsie?
Nobody wants to hear this because of the implications, but oh well, because it needs to be said: Joe Biden’s security regime deliberately and with malice aforethought created the conditions that led to an attempted 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.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Let’s not forget he “randomly” picked the right rooftop without security covering it.

All just a bunch of random coincidences, nothing to see here.
