Just days after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, theories are flying from all directions. Many who ridiculed the “conspiracy theories” of conservatives are now suggesting the whole event was a set-up to boost Trump in the polls ahead of the election. Others suggest it was the “deep state” or even foreign actors who organized it.
Former US Navy Seal and founder of Blackwater, Erik Prince, claims that “The fact that [the Secret Service] allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150 yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence.” He went on to observe that, “unaccountable bloated bureaucracies continue to fail us as Americans,” adding that “unserious and unworthy people in positions of authority got us to this near disaster. Merit and execution must be the only deciding factors in hiring and leadership, not the social engineering priority of the day.”
Video has emerged showing that for at least two minutes law enforcement knew someone with a gun was on a roof aiming at the former President and no one communicated the need to pull Trump from the stage. You can clearly hear the crowd warning law enforcement that someone was on the roof. Yet he was unhindered until the first shots rang out.
Considering this fact, Erik Prince has a point.
If this is like any previous governmental foul-ups, we can expect hearings, investigations, and commissions that will actually serve to hide the official errors or even malicious intent by some in the government.
That’s what government does no matter who is in office: protect itself from actual scrutiny and resist being exposed as incompetent or worse.
But what if there was a genuine investigation that actually revealed the truth about what happened at the Trump rally over the weekend?
Could we rely on the mainstream media to even report it?
This is the same media that, after Trump was clearly shot on live television, reported “Trump escorted away after loud noises at PA rally.” (Washington Post). And “Secret Service rushes Trump offstage after he falls at rally.” (CNN).
This is the same mainstream media that has been comparing Donald Trump to Hitler for years, and now pretends to be shocked that their vile rhetoric ended up in violence.
There is a good reason why the mainstream media is regarded by the American public with record levels of contempt.
The current Director of the Secret Service has been interviewed expressing her dedication to “diversity” in hiring agents.
What if her dedication to DEI goals led to an agency that is more “diverse” but fails at its core mission? Can we rely on the media to inform us of this? Or will they, as usual, just blame it all on the Second Amendment?
What if the problem with the Secret Service is that it was moved into the bloated, incompetent, and menacing Department of Homeland Security, the creation of which I strongly opposed when I was in Congress?
We shouldn’t count on hearing the truth about the attempted assassination from the mainstream media.
No wonder the elites remain determined to censor social media sites like Twitter/X and TikTok.
We live in an empire of lies, propped up by the mainstream media. And seeking the truth in this empire of lies is the greatest challenge for us in the moral bankruptcy in which we live.
Oh, we know.
Judge Jeanine said on “The Five” tonight - “That director is incompetent - is she STUPID TOO?”
What will it take for Americans to wake up to the fact that the Democrat party is The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate?
An assassination attempt on the Republican presidential candidate where the security for the Republican presidential candidate (under the command and control of a Democrat administration) looked like The 3 Stooges?
It is always the same: stupid or liar?
Don’t know about anyone else but if Trump gets assassinated I’m going to help burn it all down.
Butler is over. They’ve got to get busy going after America patriots. JaySix is still the next big thing.
Anybody seen Lizzie Cheney and her Zinger?
Please ping me with articles of interest.

That is exactly what they are trying for.
But hiring and promoting by merit makes our nation strong and promotes economic growth.
Both of which is anathema to the Left.
Don’t know about anyone else but if Trump gets assassinated I’m going to help burn it all down.
When they aren’t willing to forthcoming, assume the worst.
That is a generous expression of the MSM role in the current regime.
They do not prop up the empire of lies they build, promote and expand the Empire of Lies.
They are going to tell a pack of lies—now or later.
I am still waiting to hear what caliber it was. Is it so difficult to read the stamp on the rifle?
Has anyone seen a picture of the rifle?
“conservatives are now suggesting the whole event was a set-up”
Industrial strength lies.
All I hear is an “AR-like” rifle. I have an AR in .22 LR and .223. They look about the same. Black and sinister.
