Federal law enforcement agencies, a new assessment released Thursday, said they are "tracking several threats of unknown credibility" against people planning to attend Sunday's Charlie Kirk memorial in Glendale, Arizona.

Those people include President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and members of the Kirk family, according to the report.

"Violent extremists and unaffiliated lone offenders may view the memorial service or related events as attractive attack targets due to the attendance of these individuals, other senior US government officials, state and local government officials, and political activists and due to major international media attention," according to the memo issued by agencies including the FBI, Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS), Secret Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

I don’t how many the stadium holds but that will not be place anyone from the Left should be at on Sunday. Tensions will be running high there, but having said that there are too many morons out there that will attempt to Protest and make the whole thing a spectacle.

The VP normally attends the funerals, but in this case, it would be best if Vance skip it.

Every liberal website has links on buying tickets to Sunday’s AZ memorial.
I’m thinking they are planning on flooding the facility with an Anti Trump message.

FATHER GOD,

We declare the promises in Your WORD, because You keep Your promises. Send Your angels to protect all who attend Charlie Kirk’s funeral. Be glorified in the life of your faithful servant.

PSALM 91 EVR (God’s Umbrella of Protection)

You can go to God Most High to hide.
You can go to God All-Powerful for protection.

I say to the Lord, “You are my place of safety, my fortress. My God, I trust in you.”

God will save you from hidden dangers and from deadly diseases.

You can go to him for protection. He will cover you like a bird spreading its wings over its babies. You can trust him to surround and protect you like a shield.

You will have nothing to fear at night and no need to be afraid of enemy arrows during the day.

You will have no fear of diseases that come in the dark or terrible suffering that comes at noon. A thousand people may fall dead at your side or ten thousand right beside you, but nothing bad will happen to you!

All you will have to do is watch, and you will see that the wicked are punished.

You trust in the Lord for protection. You have made God Most High your place of safety.

So nothing bad will happen to you. No diseases will come near your home.

He will command his angels to protect you wherever you go.

Their hands will catch you so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.

You will have power to trample on lions and poisonous snakes.

The Lord says, “If someone trusts me, I will save them. I will protect my followers who call to me for help.

When my followers call to me, I will answer them. I will be with them when they are in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them.

I will give my followers a long life and show them my power to save.”

In JESUS’ Name we pray. AMEN.

I thought the VP and President were not supposed to be in the same place at the same time. That is a BAD idea.

It's not a good plan for both POTUS and VPOTUS to be in the same place at the same time in general. But especially a gathering like this one. which is a damn shame, IMO.

Agree. I don’t know what they are thinking. Unless they are not there at the same time. Staggered visits
