Donald J. Trump Assassination attempt- Incompetence or the Unthinkable?

It is hard to believe it was other than Divine Providence that saved one Donald J. Trump from assassination. So many possible security protocols were disregarded. A half an inch difference and we would be in a civil war. Biden clearly on the skids, and the likely GOP candidate dead. So much for the “woke” America. So much for DEI.

James Woods:

We were two inches away from a civil war today. It is not a prospect I relish, but one that is to be feared if Democrats don’t stop with their absurd vile Hitler analogies and their assassination glee.

Miranda Devine:

USSS director Kimberly Cheatle was hand-picked by Biden because she used to be on his VP detail. Her tenure is notable for her abject failure to 1) protect the agents who were repeatedly savaged by the Biden dogs over several months; 2) discover who owned the cocaine in the White House.

Worst of all. The sniper we learn was in the sights of either the police or the Secret Service. But they didn’t shoot first. Those in attendance saw the shooter for several minutes. No need to go through each detail as most of us have been probably glued to the TV over the weekend and have learned the nasty details.

So we are left with either it was incompetence or the unthinkable. We learn as well it is the FBI that will do the investigation. Why not an independent investigation with someone with impeccable credentials. Hard to find these days, but how about someone like Jonathan Turley?

I might also have more faith if all of the JFK files were released. Why won’t they? I have been watching the foreign news. It seems the assessment in general, that it was not incompetence but rather the later. Why not, the CIA has been in the world-wide business of overthrowing governments for decades.

One must ask, why is the Secret Service under the Department of Homeland Security?

Zero Hedge sums it up:

Former Navy Seal and Blackwater founder Erik Prince gave a detailed assessment of yesterday’s Secret Service debacle in the wake of a failed assassination attempt on former President Trump.

“Hopefully after the tragedy yesterday in Butler PA we can all recognize that unaccountable bloated bureaucracies continue to fail us as Americans,” Prince posted to X.

As Just the News notes, warning signs about the Secret Service were there months before the Trump assassination attempt.

Back in May, Congress requested a briefing with the Secret Service, after several incidents allegedly raised internal concerns over the quality of its trainings.

A petition within the Secret Service has reportedly been circulating because of the incidents and called for a congressional investigation into the agency, according to Comer.

One incident saw a Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris allegedly attack her superior and other agents. The unnamed agent also exhibited other “concerning” behavior, according to her colleagues.

Luckily for Trump, Crooks seems to have had terrible aim and he was not smart enough to shoot from a covered position which would have offered him protection and allowed him even more time.  Unfortunately, the shooter’s stray bullets hit at least three bystanders in the crowd, leaving one dead and two in critical condition.  The security failure in this situation is so complete that former Secret Service agents are admitting it publicly and calling for an investigation into how this could have happened.

DJT was not saved by USSS brilliance. The fact that USSS allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence. Clearly there was adequate uncontrolled dead space for a shooter to move into position and take multiple aimed shots. Watching the newsreel one can hear how proximate the shooter is by the very short time lapse between the crack of arriving bullet (supersonic) to the boom of muzzle blast (sonic).  

The law enforcement sniper (unclear if USSS) in newsreels was clearly overwhelmed as his face came off his rifle instead of doing his job to kill the shooter. Clearly they were watching the shooter but apparently have a no “first shot” policy.  The only positive action was an apparent 488yd shot by one USSS sniper which despatched the assasin but after the assassin launched at least 5 rounds, wounding DJT and killing and severely others in the crowd.

The Trump Derangement Syndrome continues. Biden says now we are all suppose to “get along.”

Same with Democrats
