Buckle up sports fans, the past week have been quite a roller coaster ride and its only just begun.
CW2 / Domestic violence - Moderate to High THREAT - up dated July 14, 2024
— Attempted assassination of Trump.
July 25 - Protest of Netanyahu’s appearance before congress.
August 19 - DNC convention in Chicago, IL
RNC was surprisingly riot free. Not sure the DNC will be so fortunate.
Terrorism - Heightened THREAT as of May 6, 2024
Now over a week since the assassination attempt on Trump and the shooter Crooks is still a black hole. Over the weekend it was revealed Crooks flew a drone over the event site. Even more questions about his other activities at the site.
His school and some HS classmates state that he was NOT bullied.
No further info on just who these overseas encrypted contacts were.
New questions over the identity of a man in a gray suit who reportedly was an ATF agent who has now disappeared.
This whole package smells more and more like a deliberate attack was set up with a cover of gross incompetence by the SS as a cover story.
However, I don’t hold much credence of the claims of acoustic evidence of at least two other shooters. There is no other reports of bullet impacts on any others in the crowd, let alone any others towards trump.
***
A massive fire has broken out at First Baptist Church of Dallas which is led by Pastor Robert Jeffress, a Trump supporter.
A cause of the fire has not been reported. If started by illegals in opposition to Jefferies, then appearrs a potential act of political trerrorism.

Massive aftershocks from biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 campaign continue to reverberate around the nation and world.
Calls now for biden to completely resign as president. The logic being if he isn’t physically and mentally capable of continuing his campaign, how can he remain on as president?
The FEC states that if harris is not the nominee, money raised directly for biden / harris will have to be refunded and cannot be transferred to another candidate.
Initial polls show Trump by 6 over harris. harris may get a slight sympathy bump in the polls, but those are guaranteed to be small and short lived.
Obama acknowledging biden’s resignation from the campaign did not back harris — but favors an “open” process to replace Biden. However, the Clintons have endorsed Harris.
Open political warfare at the DNC convention if the selection isn’t firmed up and quickly.
Harris garnering support for her run for the presidency, but the shock of biden’s resignation may result in further depressing voter turn out as harris consistently has polled below biden. I also think such statements of support are shallow and done to provided some stability as the transition of power begins.
Not only has an open fight for the candidacy begun, but mixed in there is the fight to get someone as VP candidate that won’t outshine harris, with those VP candidates likely to lose any further national hopes due to being tied to harris.
Biden / Harris Watch –
biden’s announcement of dropping out of the election race has raised new questions / observations that are critical to consider -
- White House staff find out of the action via ‘X” with X being the vehicle used to announce his resignation from the campaign.
- “resignation” letter not on official letterhead with some questioning the authenticity of the signature.
- Steve Richetti reportedly helped write letter
- White House *WIPES* Biden’s schedule for this week
- WH Chief of Staff calls Cabinet, manages Comms
- Frank Biden confirms health a factor
- Biden holds no LIVE Press Conference
- bottom line - where is he and who’s running the country? Does he even know if he has dropped out of the race for president?
Conspiracy theories are running rampant from both democrats and republicans. Some even raising a flag that biden has a terminal illness of some sort. Right now, there is the appearance that biden is no longer even running the country, potentially raising issues of a developing constitutional crisis.
Further bad news for democrats - how long have you noticed biden’s mental breakdown ?
Cyber attacks/warfare – HEIGHTENED ALERT as of April 20, 2024
Illegal Immigration –
There are growing reports that illegals are beginning to mass again for another mega-border push in an attempt to cross the border before Trump can be elected and the border sealed.
Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Temperatures continue in the 90s with some 100s and fair.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Ukraine drones hit the refinery in Tuapse Russia and set it on fire.
Russian forces gained ground in the Avdiivka area.
Outlook —
There are no real changes to the battle. However, the dropping out of biden may hit approbated military supply from the US to Ukraine. Puts a whole new degree of uncertainty on Ukraine’s military supply sources and will spur them to seek greater EU support.
ISRAEL –
July 25 - Netanyahu’s appearance before congress.
Key overnight developments -
- Expanded operation in Khan Yunis announced.
- Two hostages found dead.
——— GENERAL ——————————-
Lest we forget - there are still hostages being held in Gaza.
Israel army confirms the death of two more hostages in Gaza
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to leave on Monday morning for his first visit to Washington since returning to office late in 2022. He is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Joe Biden, who announced on Sunday that he was withdrawing from the presidential race. However, that meeting is now in question as Biden has cleared his calendar of all official meetings and activities for the next week.
——— GAZA FRONT ———————————-
Israeli army calls residents to evacuate the eastern areas of the city of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza strip before a major operation
“Due to significant terrorist activity and rocket fire toward the State of Israel from the eastern part of the Humanitarian Area in the Gaza Strip, remaining in this area has become dangerous. Accordingly, at this time, the Humanitarian Area will be adjusted. The adjustment is being carried out in accordance with precise intelligence indicating that Hamas has embedded terrorist infrastructure in the area defined as the Humanitarian Area.”.
———“ISLAMIC RESISTANCE” ———————————
The Houthi drone attack that hit Tel Aviv was responded to by Israel over the weekend with massive air strike taking out much of the port facilities in ç, Yemen. The most specular part of the strike was the destruction of at least 70% of the oil facilities. Dock facilities for cargo traffic were also hit, crippling operations. It has been estimated that the houthis receive 80% of their arms from Iran thru these port facilities.
Houthi missiles were fired towards Israel in response to the strike on Hodeidah, with one taken out by an Arrow missile.
——— FORECAST ————————-
Israel’s strike on Hodeidah demonstrates what I’ve said here for a number of years - the moslem world, and especially the jihad factions respect only strength. Israel’s strike was one of strength. Some whining that the attack was overkilll. For practical purposes the Houthi were warned not to FA or their will FO.
Looks like IAF is focusing on a new clustering of Hamas in the Khan Yunis region. Hamas was able to get a few rocket launchers up and running, firing rockets from within the refugee safe zone area.
Israel will continue to prepare for the attack against Hezbollah, varying intensity of conflicts against IDF by Hamas and Houthi.
Thanks, Godzilla
Superdelegates at the DNC will make the pick who will be the nominee - there won't be any riots. The only protests will be those with the support of democrat power elites - to add excitement for the idiots in the MSM (who think it's 1968.) Democrat power elites got Biden to step down without any outcry and they'll do the same when Harris steps down.
All. Been tracking this issue with Biden. IMHO at the very least there is a serious medical emergency going on. Worst case is that he has passed.
Just when you thought you’ve shot the final rapids, a larger more dangerous one appears. Uncertainty about biden’s health could drive a further constitutional crisis if he is not fit for office. Evidence point to, at a minimum, a biden effort to retain power. The country really needs to hear just what is happening. America’s enemies are watching and may quickly jump on a breakdown in leadership to do bad things.
CW2 / Domestic violence - Moderate to High THREAT - up dated July 14, 2024
— Attempted assassination of Trump.
July 25 - Protest of Netanyahu’s appearance before congress.
August 19 - DNC convention in Chicago, IL
News from anti-Israeli groups organizing protests against netanyahu have grown quiet, but I can’t see them not taking the opportunity to try to strike at him in some manner.
Terrorism - Heightened THREAT as of May 6, 2024
Maintaining the Trump assassination attempt here under terrorism, and with good reason because the situation surrounding Crooks keeps getting deeper and deeper.
Latest continues to be the massive cluster regarding LEO/SS control of the roof top Crooks fired from. The “too hot” excuse has come back out from local police responsible for the security of that area.
More intriguing continues to be virtual clean slate Crooks has on the internet. FBI reportedly is having difficulty penetrating the foreign based encrypted files.
Gaining additional traction is the reports that at least one cell phone with regular ‘contact’ at Crooks home and work has been tracked to an office in DC near the FBI office.
The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project says it has tracked cell phones that had visited the home of Trump shooter Thomas Crooks in the months preceding the attempt on the former president’s life at the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally on July 13.
The device linked to the Crooks home had visited Butler twice in the week or so before the shooting.
Staring down a possible govt agent / handler rabbit hole causes things to get sticky really fast. There is already enough irregularities surrounding the SS security but direct contact with some kind of handler may account for the lack of internet footprint of Crooks.

The chairman and ranking member of the House Oversight Committee called on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign in a rare bipartisan joint statement on Monday, following hours of questioning the agency director.
OBSERVATION - Under any other leadership, Cheatle would be out the door. What was stark was that leftist democrats sounded like republicans in slamming her - topped off by the joint condemnation. Rumors continue to abound that she will be stepping down this week, but I’ll believe it when I see it, She is ‘secure’ in her position until the election, and being the typical, smug liberal elite she won’t go because no one higher up will hold her accountable.
***
Caution on some of the polling now that harris is the lead. I’ve seen numbers all over the board, some indicating a crash worse than with biden to others suggesting she’s gotten a sympathetic ‘bounce’. The regime has managed to keep her out of the limelight for most of the term, but will have to put her on the world stage - cackle and all - and that’s when public opinion will start to hit home.
***
biden’s withdrawal was likely designed to soften losses in the house and senate. That now appears to be in question if biden is terminally ill in addition to the dementia. Democrats should be forced to answer up for the conspiracy of keeping his true health condition under wraps.
Biden / Harris Watch –
harris reportedly has garnered enough votes to become the democrat flag bearer going into the 2024 general election. Standard endorsements from the routine player - except from 0bama who stated the best candidate would be selected at the DNC convention.
***
Name game ongoing for her VP pick. Normally it would be for someone that won’t overshadow the president pick. That will be hard in harris’ case as she is about as shiny as a cow turd.
***
The mystery surrounding biden and strongly suspected serious health conditions continues to grow. Biden has not been seen in public in five days. His last appearance was when he slowly and painfully exited Air Force One on Wednesday night.
His calendar has been cleared of all meetings for the next couple weeks. We had to hear from the Israeli ambassador that Netanyahu’s scheduled meeting with biden was cancelled - and not from our own govt.
Biden’s physician released a statement saying everything is fine, but that’s hardly proof of life.
Additional rumors abound, anchored in the suspected ‘medical emergency’ biden is alleged to have suffered in Las Vegas forcing him to cancel a campaign event there - WH claiming ‘covid’ reinfection the cause. Next, WH and campaign staff were working the issue he was remaining in the race up to the very moment the withdrawal message was posted on X and no warning to the staff. Then the WH chief of staff calling numerous emergency meetings of the cabinet, and other staffers. Finally the announcement of an extended stay in Delaware.
All this with no public appearance - in the face of an historic exit from the race for president.
If biden has a terminal illness, the big question the democrats will have to face going into November is when did they know it and why did they cover it up.
If biden is on his death bed, the country deserves to know and just WHO is running the country.
China –
See involvement in Hamas / Fatah meeting and agreements under “Israel”
Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Temperatures continue in the 90s with some 100s and fair.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Local authorities confirmed drone attack against ferry at Port Kavkaz in Krasnodar Krai (Kerch Strait region), at least 1 crew member killed, more wounded
Russian forces continued to press the attack across the entire length of the eastern front.
Outlook —
Meat grinder continues with Russia pressing along a broad front. Nothing major expected by either side, though some sudden action via drone/missile strike barrages can be expected.
ISRAEL –
July 25 - Netanyahu’s appearance before congress.
Key overnight developments -
- Netanyahu arrived in DC, with no greeting from biden, harris or blinken.
- Major operation in Khan Younis
——— GENERAL ——————————-
Lest we forget - there are still hostages being held in Gaza.
Israel FM rejects the Palestinian reconciliation declaration, says Hamas rule will be “crushed” while the Palestinian President Abbas - who also heads Fatah - will “see Gaza from afar”
***
Hamas says it has signed an agreement in Beijing to work with other Palestinian groups towards “national unity”. Chinese officials said the factions, including Fatah, had agreed to set up an interim reconciliation gov’t for post-war Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a delegation charged with negotiating a hostage deal with Hamas to be dispatched on Thursday, Netanyahu’s office said in a statement on Sunday.
The statement said Netanyahu held a meeting on Sunday with the delegation and senior members of Israel’s defense establishment.
The statement did not specify the delegation’s destination. Until now a ceasefire effort led by Qatar and Egypt and backed by the United States has failed to produce any deal, with both sides in the more than nine-month-old Gaza conflict blaming each other for the impasse.
——— GAZA FRONT ———————————-
Israeli army spokesman: This morning the forces of Division 98 began a combined operation above and below the ground in Khan Yunis, following intelligence indicating the presence of militants and terrorist infrastructure in the area and following attempts to restore the terrorist organization Hamas
More than 50 sites used by militant groups in Khan Younis were struck by aircraft as ground forces with the 98th Division pushed into the city in the southern Gaza Strip over the past day, the IDF says
——— LEBANON / HEZBOLLAH——————————-
The Israeli Army: Air defenses intercepted 7 drones launched from Lebanon
An Israeli raid targeted a car in the town of Shaqra, south of Lebanon, killing one person and wounding another
Rockets from Lebanon hit the town of Tzuriel, which was not evacuated in the Galilee, and a building was damaged. Israeli Army Radio: About 10 missiles were launched from southern Lebanon towards Western Galilee, and most of them were intercepted
———WEST BANK——————————-
There is a video circulating on social media is said to have been taken moments before the drone strike in Tulkarem, showing Muhammad Abu Abdo, the commander of the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades in the area. Ashraf Nafa, commander of Hamas’ military wing in the Tulkarm, was taken out in the same strike
——— FORECAST ————————-
Operation in Khan Younis expected to continue for a while. Again, it is an example of Israel letting Hamas, et al, attempt to reform then smashing them again.
Things are tense as Netanyahu steps into DC with an ongoing crisis in the WH. As noted above, he’s received the cold shoulder - indicating a shift to a more pro-hamas policy orientation.
Turkey –
According to Daily Sabah, the first personal meeting between Erdogan and Assad is planned to take place in Moscow. Iraq, which has offered to host the mediation talks, may also be invited to Moscow. Iran will not be present at the talks
OBSERVATION - Erdogan continues to maneuver himself to be the big power broker in the region.
