Evidently, Senator Hawley has been contacted by "USSS whistleblowers" with inside information what happened to enable a 20 year old nut's attempt on President Trump. The worst statement from Senator Hawley was this:
Loose security. Around a Presidential candidate. In an environment made "high threat" due to the vile rhetoric of the Democrats and communists (but I repeat myself). I'm slowly coming around to the idea that this was benign malice. I am starting to suspect there are people in the fed.gov (not just USSS) who deliberately took actions, mostly related to funding and personnel availability, to reduce security around President Trump in the hopes some nutcase did what a nutcase did. Except those people, they wanted the shot to be fatal. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

I didn't know Don's total net worth, till just now. As I've never been "F" you stinking rich , I don't know, But don't you spend a few hundred thousand dollars a year on your own security team ? That is of course on your profile /risk situation. Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

I take Bongino's opinion with a grain of salt however, this story may be gaining some legs and helping to support the belief of willful knee-capping of resources and minimizing of priorities by USSS & DHS upper-management. https://x.com/collinrugg/statu...304000931758225?s=42 | |||

What a last night for the RNC. Many great people speaking. So many times I see people using God in speeches and referencing the good book but when I see Trump speak he is very genuine in his beliefs. Yes he had a near death episode last saturday but he was genuine before the assassination attempt. We are so very lucky to have him fighting for us. | |||

Watching videos of the assassination attempt, speeches given at the RNC, I was reminded of this narration from the movie "The Ten Commandments." ( "Into the blistering wilderness of Shur, the man who walked with kings now walks alone. Torn from the pinnacle of royal power, stripped of all rank and earthly wealth, a forsaken man without a country, without a hope, his soul in turmoil like the hot winds and raging sand that lash him with the fury of a taskmaster's whip. He is driven forward, always forward, by a god unknown, toward a land unseen... into the molten wilderness of sin, where granite sentinels stand as towers of living death to bar his way. Each night brings the black embrace of loneliness. In the mocking whisper of the wind, he hears the echoing voices of the dark... his tortured mind wondering if they call the memory of past triumphs or wail foreboding of disasters yet to come or whether the desert's hot breath has melted his reason into madness. He cannot cool the burning kiss of thirst upon his lips nor shade the scorching fury of the sun. All about is desolation. He can neither bless nor curse the power that moves him, for he does not know from where it comes. Learning that it can be more terrible to live than to die, he is driven onward through the burning crucible of desert, where holy men and prophets are cleansed and purged for god's great purpose, until at last, at the end of human strength, beaten into the dust from which he came, the metal is ready for the maker's hand."

I have been very interested in politics for at least 50 years, but could never bring myself to spend much time watching political conventions. This one was different! I couldn't stop watching it. Very, very well done. Trump's speech was long but I would have watched it all if it had been twice as long. Great job.

Mark Zuckerburg “Trump getting up after being shot is “the most badass thing I’ve ever seen” Link to Twitter/X. Very interesting to hear. He also said “it’s hard to not get emotional when you see that”. Sorry, don’t know how to embed the video | |||

I do see that. Can't imagine he's "coming around", but it's a good sign that more people than we realize are having these feelings. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>> | |||
