Media Assures Americans The Real Threat Is The Side That Keeps Getting Shot At
U.S. — In the wake of yet another assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, the media sought to assure Americans that the real threat isn't the side doing the shooting.
"The people getting shot at and murdered, they are the real threats," explained CNN correspondent Dana Bash. "Every time you see another attempt to kill a Republican, remember that Democrats are the party of peace and tolerance."
The media also condemned Republicans for using such harsh rhetoric and causing people to try to murder them. "We hereby call on the people getting shot at to stop being mean," Bash went on to say. "I hope if Republicans manage to escape the guy shooting an AK-47, they will consider how hurtful their words can be. It is time the people with bullets whizzing over their heads tone things down."
At publishing time, members of the American media had reiterated that calling Republicans "fascist dictators who must be stopped by any means necessary" was the true message of love and unity.

DOJ Warns If Trump Is Elected He Will Do To Them All The Stuff They're Doing To Him
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Officials from the Department of Justice issued a public warning that, if Donald Trump is elected, he will do to them all of the stuff they're currently doing to him.
According to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Trump's election could prove disastrous to the DOJ.
"It's important that we remember that if Trump manages to seize power again, he is going to treat the DOJ exactly as horribly as we are currently treating him," Garland said at a press briefing. "He will definitely start imprisoning political opponents, harassing them with frivolous lawsuits, and convicting them as felons through kangaroo courts just like we did to him. In legal terms, this is known as the 'I'm Rubber, You're Glue' principle, or the 'What's Good for the Goose Is Good for the Gander' precedent. We cannot give this dangerous threat to democracy a chance to strike back at those of us who are defending democracy by denying him his constitutional rights. He must be stopped."
While several experts publicly questioned whether or not Garland's warning betrayed the fact that the DOJ was biased against Trump, the experts quickly received visits from federal agents and have since ceased to express said opinions.
At publishing time, the FBI had joined the DOJ in warning that Trump would probably sign off on armed raids on his political opponent's residences in a fashion similar to the way he was raided by the FBI and DOJ.

Bidenomics in your mailbox
By Silvio Canto, Jr.
Over the last year, I’ve heard these stories from friends or friends of friends. In other words, more people are falling behind in their debt service. Let’s check this from the Wall Street Journal:
On top of soaring prices for groceries and just about everything else, people have been dealing with higher interest rates on their credit cards. The average rate as of May was 21.51%, according to Fed data, up from around 15% in 2019.
That helps explain why some are finding it harder to keep up with payments, particularly those who don’t earn so much. Around 9.1% of credit-card balances turned delinquent over the past year, the highest rate in over a decade, according to an August report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Then there is the matter of car loans:
Ally Financial Chief Financial Officer Russ Hutchinson said late payments and charge-offs on auto loans were higher than expected in July and August.
Borrowers at Ally, a major auto lender, “have been struggling with the cost of living and now are struggling with an employment picture that’s worse,” Hutchinson said.
Who knew that intense inflation would cause this?
Just this morning, I was listening to a show about buying a car and heard that a typical car payment is $750. How do people pay that? Well, I guess they can’t, as the lenders are figuring out.
I gotta tell you that I’m feeling OK. Our Altima is paid for, and my 2005 Focus just hit 200,000 miles. By the way, I plan to hold on to that one and give it to my grandson when he graduates from high school in 2038. It doesn’t have a fancy sound system, but he’ll get to baseball practice.
I don’t know how much this issue is being reported. We should hear about it the next time the candidates get questions. I hope that V.P. Harris does not tell us she is planning to give new buyers $5,000 to buy a car.
In the meantime, the bills are mounting up in what they call Bidenomics.

What we must do the day after Trump wins
By Molly Slag
Cats in Ohio are in the news these days. But the really big cat is the Cat-5 storm that will descend upon this nation on November 6, the day after Trump’s third election.
November 6 is the day the excrement is really going to hit the fan as the lefties let loose the demonic howl of their inner banshee.
And on that very day, November 6, 2024, and from that day forward, Trump is really going to need all of us. For on that day, the left and all their governmental and institutional running dogs will heighten to the max all their attacks on Trump to a fever pitch in a last-ditch effort to forestall his inauguration on January 20, 2025.
Over the past 3 or 4 years, it has become apparent even to those of us who are unwashed and lacking Ivy League credentials that there really is an American deep state and there really is a global elite (the WEF, the Schwabs, the Gates, etc.) that fully intends to reduce us all to serfdom. And we know that, notwithstanding whatever reservations some of us might have about some hue, tone, or tint in the Trump personality, only the Trump agenda can save us and our constitutional republic from the destruction plotted by the left.
We greatly err if we think Trump can survive this raging Cat-5 tempest without our help.
In the preface to his 2023 book America’s Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything, Christopher Rufo explains how, today, the left has conquered every American institution, including federal, state, and local government, schools, universities, and corporations. Rufo also explains that there really is a Vichy America, which serves the American deep state and plots the destruction of the American economy as a major step to the seizure of America by the Global deep state. (This, too, explains the war on our economy.)
Following Trump’s election, this Vichy America will remain in place, attacking and impeding Trump and his agenda at every turn, terrified that Trump will do unto them as they have done unto him, and pursuing the Marxist takeover of the nation and working hand-in-glove with the global elite.
In the final chapter of his book, entitled “The counter-revolution to come,” Rufo details the rise of a counter-revolution waged by an American underground that will resist the left and restore the traditional American civilization.
Trump’s election will not change the Democrats’ grip on institutions (it may even exacerbate it), so there will be a need as never before for an American underground to resist and nullify Vichy America.
Of what shall this American underground consist? It must consist of an association of all who desire the resurgence of all the best features of our traditional America. Every career, trade, and professional group, from teachers and plumbers to door-dashers, must organize its own approach to waging the counter-cultural-revolution (CCR) to come.
Teachers who want to cease the propagandizing, put away the students’ phones, close the door, and teach must organize the other teachers to make that possible.
Office workers who want to stop the madness must encourage each other to ignore the DEI and its demands.
Students lying flat must come to the aid of their teachers.
Lawyers must assist in adopting a Ron Paulian liberty platform.
Every sector of society must form its own resistance units to counter through all lawful means possible the American Vichy and the collaborators with the global elite.
The conservative voice shall be sounded in every county and city council meeting, in every school district meeting, and in every other taxing district meeting.
Now is the time for all true American constitution lovers to ride to the sound of liberty.

An ABC employee’s sworn affidavit claims ABC cheated to help Kamala win
By Andrea Widburg
Update- as of this morning the supposed whistleblower has been killed in a car crash. Convenient or what?...........al
The Black Insurrectionist did the legwork and obtained what appears to be a duly signed affidavit from an ABC employee attesting under oath to the network’s staggering corruption to ensure that Kamala Harris won her single debate against Donald Trump. Secret negotiations, bias, squashed issues, sample questions...it’s all there. Of course, we have only this unknown employee’s sworn assertion that these things happened but, if they did...oh my!
Here’s the tweet with the somewhat redacted affidavit:
The introductory material in the affidavit says that the employee is a technical and administrative worker who is not endorsing Trump. He (or she) simply wants what all Americans want—a fair debate allowing Americans to hear what the candidates have to say on the issues that matter most. The key substantive allegations (which currently have no verification other than this sworn testimony) are as follows:
The important people at ABC involved in the debate were known to be biased, which worried employees:
It is common knowledge that Debate Moderators as well as Chief Executive Officers of my employer are well known not to support Donald Trump, this led to several employees speaking up in regards to how fair the debate was going to be. We were given assurances that the debate would be fair and neither the Harris campaign nor the Trump campaign would [redacted] unfair advantage.
In fact, nothing was fair.
ABC allegedly agreed to Kamala’s demands for accommodations so that she would not appear at a visual disadvantage compared to Trump (accommodations that our geo-political opponents such as Xi Jinping or Kim Jong-un won’t be making):
The Harris campaign received particular accommodations, including, but not limited to, the providing of a podium significantly smaller than that used by Donald Trump, and assurances regarding split-screen television views that would favorably impact Kamala Harris's appearance relative to Donald Trump.
ABC News allegedly ensured Kamala’s team that it would make every effort to fact-check anything Donald Trump said. (What’s implied, although not stated, is that no such effort would be made to fact-check Kamala.) The Trump campaign was shut out of these negotations.
It was agreed that Donald Trump would be subjected to fact-checking during the debate, while Kamala Harris would not face comparable scrutiny. This was widely known throughout the company that Donald Trump would be fact checked. In fact, various people were assigned to fact check observations it was perceived candidate Trump would make during the debate. In fact, Harris campaign required assurances that Donald Trump would be fact checked. This was done via multiple communications with the Harris campaign whereas the Trump campaign was not included in the negotiations. To my understanding, any rules negotiations and conversations pertaining to the debate should have had both the Trump and Harris campaign involved, the Harris campaign had numerous more calls regarding the debate rules without the Trump campaign aware or on the call.
While Kamala did not receive the exact question the moderators asked, she allegedly received sample questions so she’d know generally what to expect. This assertion, if true, explains the very careful language ABC used when it denied any allegations that it gave Kamala the questions before the debate: “Harris was not given any questions before the debate.”
The Harris campaign was provided with sample questions that, while not the exact questions, covered similar topics that would appear during the debate.
Kamala allegedly put several topics off limits, including Joe Biden’s mental state, her time as Attorney General in San Francisco (this probably means her stint as District Attorney in San Francisco, when she convicted hundreds of low-level drug offenders, most of whom were black), and her brother-in-law, Tony West, the man who funneled billions of taxpayer dollars to hard-left NGOs.
Furthermore, the Harris campaign-imposed restrictions on the scope of questioning, including:
• No questions regarding the perceived health of President Joe Biden.
• No inquiries related to her tenure as Attorney General in San Francisco.
• No questions concerning her brother-in-law, Tony West, who faces allegations of embezzling billions of dollars in taxpayer funds and who may be involved in her administration if elected.
The affidavit closes by saying, among other things, that the affiant “sent a certified letter to Speaker Mike Johnson, dated September 9th, 2024, to establish a record that the correspondence was sent before the debate commenced.” And—what should worry ABC and Kamala’s campaign—the affiant claims to
have secretly recorded several conversations that will prove that the Harris Campaign insisted upon not only the Fact Checking of Donald Trump, but also insisted on what questions were not to be asked under any circumstances or else the Harris campaign would decline to participate in the debate.
Again, we currently have only one unnamed source, although that person seems to have been willing to subject himself or herself to the penalty of perjury. Moreover, she or he may have recordings to back this up. If you want additional corroboration for the claimed bias, Linsey Davis admitted that she went out of her way to “fact check” Trump (although, as it turns out, Trump was factually correct, and Kamala was wrong).
It’ll be interesting to see whether the dam now breaks with other people coming forward to back up these accusations. It will be even more interesting to learn whether Americans care that a major media outlet allegedly connived with the Democrat candidate to throw the debate her way and destroy Donald Trump.

When does Linsey go work for Kamala?
By Silvio Canto, Jr.
Less than a week into the debate about ABC's selective fact-finding at the debate, we hear this from Linsey Davis herself. Here is the story:
ABC News’ Linsey Davis, one of two moderators for last week’s presidential debate, admitted to the Los Angeles Times that the plan was only to fact-check former President Donald Trump, and not Vice President Kamala Harris.
As Breitbart News noted, Davis and co-moderator David Muir fact-checked Trump seven times -- often incorrectly -- while never fact-checking Harris once, even when she used hoaxes, such as the Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax.
Davis told the Times that ABC had deliberately targeted Trump -- and only Trump -- because of perceptions that he had been allowed to get away with false statements in the CNN debate against President Joe Biden in late June.
Poor CNN. Now ABC is blaming them too.
First, thanks to Linsey Davis for admitting that the fact-checking was selective indeed. No more suspense or questions about that.
Second, who made the decision at ABC that the fact-checking would be selective? Did Davis and Muir make that call? Or did the word come from up in the newsroom, the organization, or who knows where?
Mark Penn is right that we need an investigation. Better than that, maybe someone at ABC can accept responsibility and tell us how something like this could happen.
I hope that Davis & Muir understand that Trump’s attacks against fake news just got stronger after that ambush.

Kamala Harris, Inflation, and Rip-Offs

From Cats and Geese to Kissinger’s ‘World Order’
By Christopher Chantrill
I’m all confused. Is it true that Kamala Harris’s earrings at the debate were clip-on earbuds? Probably not, but it would be fun if they were. Imagine if they were programmed by the CCP to spy on the councils of the blob.
And whatabout the Haitians of Springfield, Ohio, eating cats and geese? Could be, but the most important thing is Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, Rule 6: "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
Hello! Do our people love generating memes about Trump and cats and geese, or what?
But I have more serious things to discuss today, given that our wise leaders are talking about sending long-range missiles to Ukraine. I think that AT’s own Stephen Bryen nailed it by writing:
The truth is Washington wants to take up Zelensky's proposals for deep strikes on Russian territory because Ukraine is losing the war and could be defeated even before the Presidential elections in November.
(h/t Clarice Feldman)
And that would really put the cat among the geese, as far as the presidential election is concerned.
It is obvious to me that our rulers are out of ideas and losing control. That’s what Trump in 2016 means; that’s what the Bernie-to-Biden switcheroo in 2020 means; that’s what the Biden-to-Harris switcheroo meant in July. That’s what the three-against-one debate on September 10 was all about. Our rulers are desperately trying to hold their regime together as it crumbles into dust.
But I have the answer to our foreign policy problems, because I just finished Kissinger’s 2014 book World Order. Of course, Kissinger veils his ideas in Straussian “esotericism.” But we are wise, and can read between the lines.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin.
At the end of the book Kissinger tells us that, far from One World Order, we must understand that today’s diplomats must negotiate between four foundation narratives. First there is the western Westphalian order, an assembly of independent nation states. Then there is China:
Confucianism ordered the world into tributaries in a hierarchy defined by approximations of Chinese culture… Thus China felt no need to go abroad to discover a world it considered already ordered[.]
Islam is different:
Islam divided the world order into a world of peace, that of Islam, and a world of war, inhabited by unbelievers… Islam could achieve the theoretical fulfillment of world order only by conquest or global proselytization[.]
India is also different:
Hinduism, which perceives cycles of history and metaphysical reality transcending temporal experience, treated its world of faith as a complete system not open to new entrants by either conquest or conversion.
Yes, but whatabout Russia, Hank?
Kissinger deals with Russia at the beginning of the book, quoting Catherine the Great. Given Russia’s gigantic territory, the Prussian-born princess wrote that Russia needed to be governed by “absolute Power.”
Every other Form of Government whatsoever would not only have been prejudicial to Russia but would even have proved its entire Ruin.
I’m sure that Vladimir Putin would agree with her.
And I am also sure that Biden and Harris and Wynken, Blinken, and Nod are all fully up to speed on this Kissinger wisdom, and have the sense not to get into a missile war with Russia in order to avoid the embarrassment of Ukraine collapsing right before the election.
But you and I should think about the hidden meaning of Kissinger’s book. My take is that it’s crazy to talk about “world order” when you have four different cultural realms and their four different “lived experiences.” So it’s crazy to think that a bunch of world-order conventional-wisdom diplomats are going to solve the very human and very complex question of the coexistence of four very different cultural universes.
Did I say four? Don’t forget Russia, of which Lord Montgomery said “do not march on Moscow.”
Then there is Africa, and I don’t have a clue what to say about that.
Back in the day, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams came up with the idea of the Monroe Doctrine, which told the European countries to stay off our lawn and we’d stay off their lawn.
Of course, in the 19th century the Europeans ignored the Doctrine, and in the 20th century we staged two world wars in Europe to the greater glory of college presidents and Social Register swells.
But maybe it’s time to disinter the dear old Monroe Doctrine. After all, the United States is still protected by two great oceans. Nobody in their right mind would attempt to land on the beaches of the Jersey Shore or Santa Monica today. And so long as Justin keeps his Canada geese north of the border and AMLO keeps his Mexican cat-tels south of the border everything in these United States is copacetic. Come to trade and to visit our national parks, dear foreign friends, but don’t invade.

How to Beat ‘Unhuman’ Communists At Their Own Game

Car Insurance Rates – Another Casualty of the Biden-Harris Economy
CPI report reveals motor vehicle insurance prices accelerating.
by Andrew Moran | Sep 16, 2024
Has the smoke and dust from the post-COVID inflation bomb finally settled? After the August Consumer Price Index (CPI) report revealed that the annual inflation rate eased to 2.5%, the lowest level since February 2021, the public gladly received the good news. But while the growth rate in consumer inflation has slowed, other pockets of the US marketplace are still witnessing an acceleration of prices. Car insurance is one of them – and drivers are getting tired of it.
What’s Driving Car Insurance Inflation?
First, let’s take a test drive of the numbers. Motor vehicle insurance rose 0.6% month-over-month in August. Over the last 12 months, car insurance inflation has rocketed 16.5%. Premiums are hovering around their highest levels in more than 40 years and continue to lift the overall CPI.
Last year, when asked about this trend, the current administration relied on an oldie but goodie: Greedflation. In other words, blame big business. White House National Economic Council Director Lael Brainard told reporters there was a “call to big business to bring down those prices that they increased so much when supply chains were snarled.” The federal government, she noted, is placing “a real focus on tackling unfair and deceptive price practices.”
Like everything else in the present economic landscape, however, there are other factors at play.
Parts and Repair
Yes, new and used car and truck prices have eased considerably. In August, the cost of new and used vehicles declined by 1.2% and 10.4%, respectively, from a year ago. But the price tag tells only a part of the story. The CPI report identifies some of the under-the-hood contributors. Motor vehicle maintenance and repair are up 4.1% compared to last year. Vehicle parts and equipment other than tires have risen 2.1% year over year. Motor oil, coolant, and other fluids have been steadily increasing month to month this year.
Labor
On the services front, motor vehicle repair has climbed by an annualized pace of 3.4%. This makes sense, considering the average labor rate for repairs is north of $60 per hour in the US, up from the sub-$50 average before the coronavirus pandemic.
The labor shortage has been one of the contributing factors to the price increase. Since 2020, the number of graduates completing post-secondary studies in the automotive sector has tumbled 20%. This means fewer people are entering the industry at a time when current technicians might not possess the skills to engage in modern car repairs or aging workers are quitting the industry.
As a result, the US will experience a shortage of 642,000 auto technicians this year, and the country will need more than 100,000 new auto technicians to join the workforce, according to a July 2024 TechForce Foundation study.
Computer on Wheels
Technology is exacerbating the situation, too. Tech-loaded auto parts, such as cameras, microprocessors, sensors, and many other gadgets, are costlier to repair when damaged. Estimates suggest that the sticker shock for replacing a camera-enabled bumper is around $2,000 – it would usually cost up to $600 to fix a car bumper without a camera. So, when collisions occur, these crashes become much more financially severe than the typical fender bender of 30 years ago.
Electric Vehicles
And then there is the electric vehicle. Motorists are realizing that shifting to EVs is becoming an expensive endeavor, which might explain why they are hitting the brakes on the transition. Indeed, EVs have fewer parts than gas-powered automobiles, but they are more expensive to repair and replace. RepairPal compared the average repair costs between gas and electric vehicles. The Toyota Corolla ($362) and Nissan Altima ($483) were the cheapest, while the Tesla Model S ($1,047) and Nissan Leaf ($748) were the most expensive. Additionally, for example, the average cost to replace an EV battery can be as high as $18,000. By comparison, replacing an internal combustion engine might be as high as $10,000.
According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, insuring an electric car can cost up to 20% more than a gas-powered automobile.
Will This Continue Forever?
Data show that Americans drive less, and enjoying the open road might become a niche passion. The share of teenagers (16 to 19) with driver’s licenses is below 40%, down from 64% in 1995. Generation Z is taking fewer driving trips, waiting longer to obtain government permission to operate a vehicle on public roads, and depending on ride-sharing apps to get from A to B. Perhaps trends will change with the arrival of autonomous cars, but the industry, be it automakers or insurance firms, will need to make driving great again by reversing price inflation.

“Donald Trump is looking increasingly likely to be the winner of the presidential race. I have long held that the globalists will wrap up an economic collapse or a world war and throw it in Trump’s lap.” — Brandon Smith
This time, the shooter lives to do some ‘splainin’. Do you wonder if he might get around to ‘splainin’ his role with the shady non-governmental orgs (NGOs) supported by the CIA who enabled his travels to Ukraine and his efforts there recruiting global mutts to fight for the Nazi-ish Azov Battalion? Perhaps he might rat-out actual government officials who assisted him in his colorful misadventures? As Ed Snowden remarked on “X”, wannabe Trump assassin Ryan Routh has “something of an Oswald vibe” — meaning, well-groomed by the intel boys, to be used as required.
Perhaps we’ll find out — if nothing fatal happens to befall Mr. Routh while in custody — how exactly he learned Mr. Trump would be on the links that afternoon? The candidate’s round of golf that day was supposedly a snap decision known only amongst his innermost circle. Or how did Mr. Routh figure out the most advantageous fairway to lay at for a clear shot? The FBI is on the case, you may be reassured to know.
Things political are speeding up with the autumnal quickening. The blob is truly and deeply a’fright. So many blobsters will be liable to pay for their multitudinous crimes against the people of this country if Mr. Trump squeaks back into power that such a future is unthinkable to them. And yet, nothing has worked to deactivate this. . . this golden golem stalking the land. Nothing to show for the immense catalog of lawfare cases concocted to drain his wealth and stuff him into a prison cell — and astounding how amateurish they all were! Engoron and Merchan, two boobies hatched out of Judicial Error Central. Fani Willis, a walking-talking banana peel! Merrick Garland, saving democracy one abuse of power at a time!
The Butler, PA, head-shot op came awfully close to eliminating their, uh, problem, but no cigar. The Palm Beach golf course ambush had a Peter Sellers vibe, wouldn’t you agree? With the rifle muzzle poking through the shrubbery behind a fence. What next? A pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and cyanide? Maybe try to drop an anvil on Mr. Trump’s head from a passing airplane? (Beep-beep. . . woosh!)
Somebody do something!!! The blob is shrieking to its minions from the sub-basement bunkers at Langley to the salons of Georgetown, to the US Embassy in Ukraine. Well, there’s always World War Three! And it looks like just such a romp is about to be instigated. You may have seen the photo last week of “Joe Biden” meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at a big conference table, talking-up a plan to give Ukraine the green light to rain long-range missiles deep into Russia. Meaning, let NATO technicians work the targeting console to send US or British made rockets any old place over there? Like, Red Square? Or the Winter Palace, St. Petersburg? Find an actual Ukrainian to push the launch button.
How is that not a direct attack on Russia by NATO? Well, of course it is exactly that. Russia’s chief executive, Mr. Putin, clarified it for the Globalist Neocon cohort infesting NATO that such an action would bring. . . “consequences.” That is a word the Neocons are no longer acquainted with; it has been such a long time since they’ve crossed its path, like its boon companion, “truth,” also missing-in-action these days. And, to be fair, Mr. Putin did not specify what the consequences might be, not even a simple metaphor like a mushroom cloud, or an ashtray.
How did they even get “Joe Biden” off the beach for that photo op? It is understood by everyone over ten-years-old in America that “JB” is not available for duty anymore. The “out-to-lunch” sign hangs permanently on the doorknob of the Oval Office now. The USA does not have a functioning chief-of-state for the first time in 235 years. After 2021, some sort of unelected, informal Politburu that self-assembled in the White House, like a clot from a Covid Vaccine shot, is running our affairs. Maybe Kamala Harris has a clue who is in that outfit. Or somebody in the news median could ask her (if she ever gets around to holding an actual news conference, where the questions are not previewed or scripted.) Anyone dare ask?
Kamala Harris is strangely missing from the front page of The New York Times this morning. Is that a little ominous? The debate is behind her. There will not be another, apparently. There is nothing about her schedule on the official campaign website. Has she entered fade-away mode? Is it all over now except for the ballot harvesting and the, uh, little adjustments to the Dominion vote-counting machines? Has the drinking started again?

Was the Assassination Attempt a Distraction to Cover Up Another Bombshell?
It's tinfoil hat time... sort of.
JD Rucker
Sep 16, 2024
Let me state up front before anyone says I'm crazy. I believe there's a very good chance, perhaps over 95%, that Ryan Routh is a crazy guy either acting on his own or on orders from someone — probably the Deep State — to try to assassinate Donald Trump.
However, I'm not 100% convinced for three reasons. First, there's the fact that Trump's schedule was not public and he had made a last-minute decision to go golfing on Sunday. This would be a smoking gun if Trump didn't regularly golf on Sundays, but it's still conspicuous that he wasn't supposed to do so yesterday.
Second, the stage was perfectly set for a faked assassination attempt. They had the right guy to push into action. They were able to have an alleged attempt without further damaging the reputation of the Secret Service. They had people positioned to identify and report Routh to authorities so they could rapidly apprehend him without incident. And to top it off, they had their favorite "news" outlet, CNN, dropping all the scoops so they could control the dissemination of the official narrative.
Some will argue that it would be hard to get anyone to willingly pretend to be attempting to assassinate a president. I would argue that for the Deep State, it wouldn't be difficult at all. They would simply have to find someone (and they likely have many out there waiting for the call) they could pressure through other crimes. For example, let's say they busted Routh with sex trafficking content on his computer. They could tell him he's going to spend the rest of his life in prison, but he can either do so as a pedo or as the guy who tried to kill Trump. Given his background, it would be a no-brainer for a guy like Routh.
Last but not least is the "why". Sunday, a credible sworn affidavit dropped showing illegal election actions taken by the Harris campaign and ABC News. It was an absolute bombshell if true, as I noted in an article. Less than two hours later, news of the alleged assassination attempt broke. No major news outlet discussed the affidavit other than The Gateway Pundit.
According to the sworn document, the Harris campaign demanded that Trump got fact-checked robustly while forbidding any fact-checks on Harris at all. She gave them a list of topics they couldn't bring up, including her time as District Attorney and her corrupt brother-in-law. They gave her "sample" questions but didn't give any to the Trump campaign.
Keep in mind, this affidavit was written, notarized, and sent to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson BEFORE last week's debate, so the fact that it jibes perfectly with what we actually saw should be huge news. Except, it isn't. Nobody's talking about it. It would be hard to have a bigger story than the campaign of a sitting Vice President and current presidential candidate breaking the law to rig a debate, but they managed to find a bigger story nonetheless.
Again, I'm pretty sure that this theory is wrong. 95%. Maybe 90%. But it's far from impossible and if the ABC News whistleblower story never resurfaces then I'd bump those odds up a notch.

Two Months On, Vineyard Wind Collapsed Blade Still a Threat to Sea Mammals

Mary Chalke, who describes herself on her X account only as a “Nantucket resident, nature lover,” and who operates as a volunteer community watchdog, filed the video report below on Sunday. She correctly points to the fact that, while the operators of the Vineyard Wind offshore wind boondoggle continue to work every day to clean up the refuse caused by their massive defective blade that collapse two months ago, the company is making no effort to salvage the remains of that blade from the ocean floor.
She doesn’t say it, but the main reason why Vineyard Wind is making no effort to do that is because it is not being required to do so by the Biden/Harris regulators who are very eager to get the only semi-completed offshore wind project back online. That’s the truth, and everyone involved knows it.
Check out the video below - a transcript of Mary’s remarks follows:

Transcript:
It's September 14th, 2024. I'm standing at the west end of Nantucket Island inside Madeket Harbor. Over my shoulder is a deceased Young Seal. On my walk over on the ocean side. There is also a deceased young Seal.
The stranding team here on Nantucket contacted me and said they had no concern around the cause of death. Yet these animals have been forced to survive in waters that have been laden with fiberglass and Styrofoam pieces from the GE Vernova blade collapse two months ago. We still have Vineyard Wind’s cleaning crew every day coming up and down the beaches, cleaning up new Styrofoam and fiberglass that is washing up.
The water flushes in around the point to Madeket Harbor and October 1st, this harbor will be open to family scalloping where we put our waders on and break and harvest the delicious Nantucket Bay Scallops.
Should these scallop beds be shut down because of the pollution that has been washing in for two months? There's been no water quality test to date yet, and there has not been any environmental assessment of this pollution on our marine life.
If you share my concerns, please send this video to Governor Maura Healey, State Representative Dylan Fernandez, State Representative Yves Julian Cyr. Please send it to us. Secretary of Interior Deb Haaland. Send it to President Biden, who approved this Vineyard wind project, the linchpin project which has been shut down since July 13th and continuously polluting the waters of Nantucket, as well as beaches in southern New England. Thank you so much.

That is all.

Has America really come to a place where a presidential candidate needs to be held in a bunker until election day?
Have we as a country become so divided that one side is taking action that has historically sparked civil war?
The dangerous anti-conservative hate infecting the country is heartbreaking to see.
The left talks about preserving the people’s right to vote, elections and equality but their speech inspirers devision, hate and violence.
This is a president who, despite all the labels of dictator and fascist still willingly left office. And now they want to kill him so he can’t go back.
Which side is the real threat to democracy?

Hey Ayock-
That is interesting. I wonder if he is speaking about biology also. Seems like so many are ignorant on the subject. Keep sharing.
