Look, everyone talks national politics. I am always cognizant about adding more grist to the media mill, so I tend to let the national commentators comment on national politics. They are so much better at it than I am. I have also stated that this website is a repository of information for me to reference later – a lot of what I write are merely notes for myself. So here are some notes surrounding the assassination attempt on President Trump. For myself. And maybe you, too.

Bottom line, the Secret Service is shrugging it’s shoulders and saying, “My bad.” View an absolute litany of sources HERE. And the United States Secret Service, once one of our nation’s most respected institutions, is now doubted because of their failure.

Do you believe in the concept of Occam’s Razor? When you apply said razor to the above detailed facts, what result do you conclude? We’re over three week’s removed from the assassination attempt and we seem to know little about the method or motivations of the deceased shooter. Interesting that, as a member of Gen Z, the most online, social media driven generation in history, this guy had a very, very small social media foot print. I get it, not everyone wants to live their life online and I admire those people – was Crooks simply one of them?

A former president – yes, he is likely the most divisive president in history, regardless – a former president of the United States of America nearly took a bullet in the face – he did take one to the head – and the United States Secret Service is essentially saying, “My bad. Now let’s move on, America.” Huh? Am I the only one that wants answers?

Why is the House in recess? And would you trust any investigation cranked out by either house of congress anyway?

If shadowy, deep state figures were trying to get a crazed, lone gunman to assassinate a president, how would it be behaving any differently than it already is? When you do the math, how does this equation add up? Utter complete, combined, and perfectly timed incompetence or something more nefarious? And will we ever know?

  • My how things have changed in our country, I remember the Assassination of JFK. The whole nation weep in sorrow, Republican’s, Democrat’s, Independents didn’t matter. It was a attack on Our nation. Our leaders from the little towns, the Big Cities, the State and to our Nation Capital have degraded this county with their own greed for power and their deep state are destroying the United States of America. The public needs to step up and say enough is enough. I am mad as hell and I am not going to take this anymore. Shutting down public input at public meetings is a shameful. Weather it be a school board meeting, a city meeting or County meeting 3 minutes for public input is BS. We The People need to take our power back and our Country back. I was born in Canada, but I am a American first. Not a Canadian American. The Roman Empire died from within because of leaders that cared more for their own interested and greed, then what was Good for the public.
