Here is a retired Canadian army sniper who has also worked protective details for major world leaders, who says the Trump shooter had to have had help from insiders:

Just a few weeks ago after the SCOTUS ruling on presidential immunity, there was a lot of loose, ugly, and disgusting talk by liberals, including some elected Democrats, involving someone killing Trump. Just a few weeks later, someone actually tried to do it. The Biden Democrats and the far left own this.

Trump on John McCain
I gave him the kind of funeral that he wanted, which as president I had to approve. I don't care about this. I didn't get [a] thank you. That's OK. We sent him on the way, but I wasn't a fan of John McCain.[19]

Trump on Paul Pelosi -
“We’ll stand up to crazy Nancy Pelosi, who ruined San Francisco — how’s her husband doing, anybody know?” Trump said to a raucous crowd of California Republicans at a state party convention. “And she’s against building a wall at our border, even though she has a wall around her house — which obviously didn’t do a very good job.”

Glenn Beck just had a professional sniper on his radio program who says the shooter had to have had help and this could not have been done by one man acting alone. His expert was Dallas Alexander, a retired Canadian army sniper who has the world's record for the longest kill shot, who has also worked on the other side of the aisle providing security assistance to important leaders including Canada's prime minister. Alexander said that there was no level of incompetence that could explain away what happened. He pointed out that he had never himself worked a protective detail where the enemy sniper was allowed to fire first before being taken out.

It is also interesting that they are now saying that explosive devises were found in the shooter's home as well as his car. One wonders what other mayhem he had in mind.

The lack of info that is being given on the shooter and his motives is also concerning. Will we have another coverup like the FBI did with the transgender shooter in Tennessee?

That is EXACTLY what DEI does.

For now, I'm confining my remarks just to the bad security failure at the Butler, PA event. Having had a lot of experience a long time ago with military matters regarding physical security, it is really hard to imagine how this happened. With the line of sight of the shooter's rooftop with the speaker's stage and the very short range between the two, how did they not secure that rooftop? That should not have gotten by the lowest ranking member of any security team and is unbelievable that it was not a primary part of the security plan. Whether it is incompetence or worse this is gravely concerning.

The kids the shooter went to school with say he was a loner, was badly bullied, was rejected because he was a bad shot when he tried out for the school rifle team, and that his family were withdrawn from the rest of the community. His father bought the rifle he used. The shooter made his first Democrat political contribution while he was 17 and still in high school. Not many high school kids make political contributions.

The BLM / ANTIFA riots were bi-racial, with BLM mostly black and ANTIFA mostly white. Both were radical extremist far left groups. Responsible black organizations like the NAACP and the Congress of Racail Equality do not riot or use violence and destruction.

THe only race hustler on this board, Little Bobbie, is YOU.

Being cheated out of an election is a very different thing from losing a fair and honest election. Trump responded with legal remedies and support of peaceful domonstrations. He did not want the agitators and instigators to do what they did at the Capitol, but even so, it lacked the violence and destruction of so many of the BLM / ANTIFA riots.

Apples and oranges-CV -I understand you have a racist point of view and I'm sorry for you. Black people have a right to be treated as equals under the law. often they are not. BLM was a response to that.

Trump lost an election and had a tantrum.
There is no comparison.

The question you should be asking is how does a kid like this get an AR-15? I understand it's legal but as we learn about him, we need to make a choice. Do we allow this or not? If so, nobody is safe.

The shooter was a BIDEN DONOR. There is no question whose side he was on, He was also a donor to the Progressive Turnout Project in 2022, so he a a far leftist, too.

Even since the assassination attempt, a lot of lefties are melting down that the shooter missed.

Thank you for pointing out a recent example of demonization of conservatives, Bob. Plans for new administrations to hit the ground running to implement their policies are something that is done for every new administration, state or federal, Republican or Democrat. For Team Biden to present the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 as anything unusual or sinister is just complete malarky. This planning is always done by the official campaign and usually by one or more sympathetic think tanks or policy groups as well. The Heritage Foundation is a well respected and long established conservative policy organization staffed by Reagan-style Republicans. They are not always on the exact same wavelength as Trump, who is more of a populist, but they are usually close.

I am personally aware of how these things work in a transition between administrations of different parties, having been through one at the state level between Republican Governor Jim Martin who I worked for as a political appointee and that of Democrat Jim Hunt. I saw both sides of it because, while the Hunt people originally told us that the top 6 political appointees (out of about 100 political appointees in an 18,000 employee department), of which I was one as the deparment's General Counsel had our last day on Governor Martin's last day in office, that changed because 1) Hunt did not have a replacement selected for my position, and 2) there were four very serious issues hanging where the two administrations were in agreement, but could not be left unattended. So for two months, until my replacement was selected and came on board, they kept me on as a consultant to ride herd on those issues.

Prior to the end of the Martin administration, we saw a lot of the official Hunt transition people asking questions and taking stock of things to make their plans to implement their policies. After Hunt took over, however, even in my limited capacity in the department, I became aware that there were also at least two plans from outside liberal groups that the Hunt people were also weighing and sometimes they disagreed with the original internal planning, so some changes got made. Both of the outside plans addressed one of the issues I was riding herd on differently than their internal plan and there was some uncertainly for a couple of weeks as to which way they would end up going. Ultimately they stuck with their own internal plan on that item.

In short, plans for new administrations like Project 2025 are not at all unusual in government. What is unusual is somebody trying to demonize them for political purposes. But that seems par for the course with the Biden Democrats.

Bobbie's tunnel vision is on display again. If he had read the post, he would have known that the DEI issue involved was filling a quota for women leading to unqualified Secret Service officers, and had NOTHING to do with blacks. Bobbie is deflecting by trying to change the discussion to blacks. The issue also had to do with the Secret Service, not the shooter. Is Bobbie smoking something other than a tobacco product?

The problem with DEI is that when you hire people based on quotas instead fo qualifications, you often get people who are not qualified to do the job.

Trump rallies have hardly been "all white". There are lots of interviews out there of blacks and Hispanics at Trump rallies.

The last line shows Bobbie is still following the talking points of demonizing their opposition. Northing seems to have changed.

Something smells about this whole situation. Congress needs to invesstigate the Secret Service and the FBI and probably Mayorkas. And RFK, Jr. needs to be given protection.
