Things are getting curiouser and curiouser as more information comes out about Ryan Wesley Routh, the unhinged Kamala fan who got all too close to assassinating Donald Trump on Sunday. First, he didn't like Trump. At all. Judging by his tweet history, he voted for Trump in 2016, but at some point became disillusioned and, clearly, violent. A truck in the driveway of his home in Hawaii is bedecked with a "Biden-Harris" campaign sticker, so his allegiances had clearly changed. He had turned on Trump way before he set up his sniper's nest near that golf course in Florida. Second,...

Members of a right-wing Indian fringe group held special prayers for Republican presidential nominee and former U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday (July 16) in New Delhi, after he survived an assassination attempt.

New and emerging photos and details from the near-assassination of President Donald Trump don’t really make any sense, until you accept that the FBI is hopelessly corrupt; I’ve said this before and I’ll continue to say it, but the bureau is operating completely outside the authority delegated to the federal government by the Constitution, and the only lawful remedy is its complete abolition. Here’s the story, from an article by Glenn Thrush, published by The New York Times yesterday:Investigators — who performed an exhaustive search of his devices and online accounts — do not believe that Thomas Crooks, the would-be...

The man who fired shots at former President Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania had encrypted accounts in multiple countries, according to a member of the U.S. House of Representatives task force investigating the attempted assassination.“We haven’t learned much about those overseas accounts,” Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) told a press conference in Chicago on Aug. 21. “We do know they were in ... Belgium, New Zealand, and Germany.”Waltz is on the “Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump.”FBI officials previously disclosed that Crooks used encrypted messaging applications.“Why does a 19-year-old kid who is a health care...

"Over the last two weeks, the Secret Service inspections department, which investigates employee misconduct, is homing in on allegations against an agent on the Trump detail who played a key role during the Butler rally and is partially responsible for developing the security plan, which contained egregious mistakes that left an opening for shooter Thomas Crooks.° "The allegations against the site agent are a separate matter.The agent is now under the microscope not only for her role in devising the security plan for the rally. She’s also facing internal scrutiny for posting videos and photos from her protective assignments to...

More questions than answers.

on a quest for the best timeline of the trump attempted assassination, i found this: https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/icymi-grassley-oversight-unveils-most-detailed-picture-yet-of-trump-assassination-attempt https://www.grassley.senate.gov/download/beaver-county-fpotus-after-action_redacted if no one has posted this info yet, here it is. I am looking for even greater detail that these documents do not have. note that the SS has yet to provide any texts or after action reports (iirc, no audio or video either). it has been about 18 days since the assassination attempt. the watergate gold standard is that the coverup is worse than the crime. honest people have nothing to hide. what is the SS hiding? what is DHS hiding? what...

Shocking new video filmed by one of the victims at the Donald Trump rally shooting shows just how close Thomas Crooks was to Trump ... and it's incredible the Secret Service missed him. The footage, obtained by Fox News, shot from the bleachers behind Trump, shows Crooks moving quickly along the roof of the American Glass Research Building, disappearing and then popping back up ... minutes before squeezing off 8 shots. It's the first video showing Crooks and Trump in the same frame ... and this new vantage point illustrates just how close the rooftop was to where Trump was...

The Secret Service rejected FOIA requests for records related to the attempted assassination against President Trump. Would-be assassin Thomas Crooks, 20, managed to evade state, local and federal law enforcement officers, climb on a roof and take 8 shots at President Trump during his Butler, Pennsylvania rally on July 13. Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch filed three FOIA requests seeking records related to the assassination attempt and the agency refused to produce and documents. Judicial Watch said it is preparing for litigation. Judicial Watch reported: [Judicial Watch announced today that the United States Secret Service completely denied multiple Judicial Watch...

The 1993 film In the Line of Fire was about a Secret Service agent, Horrigan, played by Clint Eastwood, who was on the job when JFK was killed. That the Secret Service did not save him has haunted him for years. SNIP That was a movie. On July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, they did not function at all. It is very difficult to believe that this once-esteemed, highly trained, and truly courageous institution could fail as badly as it did that day when an assassin took aim at President Trump at a rally. The shooter was observed more than an...

Hearing on Fox

This story is popping on Twitter, and -- if true -- it makes the entire mess surrounding the investigation into the Trump assassination attempt even worse. In the immediate aftermath of the assassination attempt, the Left argued Crooks was a registered Republican even though he'd made donations to ActBlue and Biden himself on inauguration day. Not exactly Republican, pro-Trump behavior. At this time, it's not confirmed that the account in question belonged to Thomas Crooks, but if it does -- and the FBI requested info on this particular account -- the way it was portrayed in Congressional testimony is different...

I just carried out these two searches at google. Google’s “predictions” prove that they have deliberately programmed their website to be biased against Trump.When Google was brand new, it was praised for being the most accurate and unbiased search engine that had ever exited. This proves that that is no longer the case.

Donald Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks made more than two-dozen “firearms- related purchases” starting a year before he tried to kill the former president, carefully covering his tracks by using a fake name and trying to hide his activity online, according to law enforcement sources. Last spring, Crooks, 20, began to gear up — making more than 25 separate purchases from online gun supply stores using an alias, sources told The Post. Crooks took great pains to conceal his online activities, which shows he was engaged in meticulous planning even well ahead of the campaign rally, sources said. It...

A series of bombshell text messages from countersnipers who were supposed to protect Donald Trump at the Pennsylvania rally where an assassin's bullet nearly killed the president showed them a step behind the gunman. Now, it appears a group chat of those meant to protect Trump were aware that gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was in their midst over 90 minutes before Trump was shot at, rather than an hour as the FBI had previously claimed. When one of the three countersnipers was about to call off at the end of their shift at around 4:26pm, they noticed a man...

John Cullen 🐓 @I_Am_JohnCullen Looks like we've got ourselves another shooter

Text messages, obtained exclusively by The Times, indicate that some law enforcement officers were aware of Thomas Crooks earlier than previously known. And he was aware of them. Nearly 100 minutes before former President Donald J. Trump took the stage in Butler, Pa., a local countersniper who was part of the broader security detail let his colleagues know his shift was ending. “Guys I am out. Be safe,” he texted to a group of colleagues at 4:19 p.m. on July 13. He exited the second floor of a warehouse that overlooked the campaign rally site, leaving two other countersnipers behind....

Secret Service counter-sniper assets were routinely denied to the USSS Donald Trump Detail if the locations weren’t within “driving distance” of Washington DC. This is a shocking piece of information that Acting-Director Ron Rowe should immediately have to answer for. A trusted whistleblower sent this shocking piece of information during my show on Rumble yesterday. ... they did everything in their power to make this happen ... like they wanted this to happen. Pathetic. ... 100% inside job. ... This was intentionally done and they did it in such a way that it could be brushed off as incompetence. ......

Coming to you from Austin, TX, a statement was made to an Hispanic with an anglo wife that Trump supporters did not riot, block traffic and burn buildings across the nation after Trump was shot. The man expl6oded in rage and yelled the shooter was a hero. When trying to ask him if Democrats would respond likewise were there an attempt on a Democrat candidate, he went into a fit of rage, claiming that Trump thought America belonged to him, he would be dictator for life if elected, that the. Jan. 6 people were the rebels, that it would have...

Prior to staging their recent palace coup, Democrat power brokers realized that President Biden could no longer defeat former President Trump. Ergo, one or the other—or both—had to go. To that end, the Secret Service basically stood down instead of doing its best to protect Trump at his massive rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13th. However, when the assassination attempt inexplicably failed, Biden had to be forced out. So, the power brokers executed their coup, overruling the voters’ will—in order, of course, to “save our democracy.” Then they quickly decided to install Kamala Harris as their nominee, the first...
