EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis). Will the third time be the “charm”? This is the question we all have as we are watching the news about the second assassination attempt against President Trump. One thing is for sure: the hate speech from the suffering from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) liberals and leftists has to be addressed. And I do not mean by imposing speech restrictions and canceling free expression. But by self-restrain and showing that these haters are capable of functioning in a free political “arena of ideas”. But it seems that for the Democrats this is too much to ask. They prefer canceling their opponents according to the paradigms of the Maoist “Cultural Revolution” in China. After all, they are leftist extremists and are led by one – Barack Obama.
WE JUST LEARNED THAT THE SUSPECT IN THIS ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT CALLED PRESIDENT TRUMP “A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY”(LINK HERE) – AND THIS PROVES OUR POINT….
===============
FBI investigating apparent assassination attempt of Trump in Florida
- The FBI said Sunday it “is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination” of former President Donald Trump, who is safe after shots were fired at Trump International Golf Club.
- A man is in custody in connection to the incident, officials said. The person detained is Ryan Wesley Routh, according to three law enforcement sources.
- A Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel sticking out of fence and “engaged” with the suspect, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said at a news conference late Sunday afternoon. The suspect fled in a car and was taken into custody after being stopped on the highway.
- The gunman was 300 to 500 yards away from Trump, a Secret Service official said. Law enforcement found an AK-47 style rifle, GoPro and backpacks where the suspect was positioned, Bradshaw said.
- President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are both “relieved to know” that Trump is safe and have been briefed on the situation, according to the White House.
US officials recently briefed Trump campaign on new intel about Iran threat, sources say
US intelligence officials recently briefed Donald Trump’s campaign about new indications that Iran was planning to escalate attacks on the former president and those around him, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
At this point, there is no indication that the intelligence is related to the apparent second assassination attempt against on Trump on Sunday, the sources said. The intelligence briefing given in recent days related to potential physical and cybersecurity attacks, adding to the overall elevated security threat against Trump.
CNN previously reported that authorities had obtained intelligence about a plot by Iran to assassinate Trump in the weeks before the attempted assassination of the former president at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania in July. There has been no indication that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin who was shot and killed that day, was connected to the plot.
Separately, the US government has concluded the Iranian government is behind a hack-and-leak operation targeting Trump’s campaign and also attempted to target the Biden-Harris campaign.
Task force investigating first Trump assassination attempt requests new briefing with Secret Service
The congressional task force investigating the first attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump is requesting a briefing with the US Secret Service following the Sunday security incident at Trump’s golf club in Florida.
Person detained in apparent assassination attempt identified, sources say
The person in custody in connection with the apparent attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump is Ryan Wesley Routh, according to three law enforcement sources.
What we know so far about the person detained:
A flashback to the July Trump assassination attempt, and what’s happened since then
Not too long ago, Trump was the target of an assassination attempt during a July rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a staccato of shots rang out in the middle of his speech, killing one attendee and severely injuring two others. According to the FBI, either a bullet or a bullet fragment struck Trump, wounding him on the ear.
The incident sparked a broader investigation around lapses in Trump’s security apparatus, increasing scrutiny on the Secret Service. Amid a possible second assassination attempt, lawmakers and officials are still in the process of investigating the first attempt on Trump’s life.
A flashback to Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania: Video showed some attendees noticed the gunman on the roof at least one minute and 57 seconds before the shooting began, and several rally attendees tried to call attention to the gunman as Trump was speaking on the stage. The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was fatally shot at the scene.
Secret Service boosts security: Since the incident, the Secret Service has bolstered Trump’s security detail and surrounds the former president with bulletproof glass at campaign rallies. A senior official told CNN additional security measures would also include increasing the number of agents and certain technological changes, though the official declined to provide more details.
The fallout: Then-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned in July amid criticism for security lapses related to the assassination attempt, and the agency is under continued pressure from lawmakers to hold individuals accountable for those failures. Ronald Rowe, now acting director of the Secret Service, had said several times he would wait until the results of internal investigations into the shooting before making personnel decisions over that day’s failures. Multiple Secret Service personnel from the Pittsburgh Field Office and one member of Trump’s security detail involved in the planning for the July 13 rally were reassigned to administrative duties and ordered to work from home.
Schumer briefed by Secret Service director after Trump security incident
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he has been briefed by acting Secret Service Director Ronald L. Rowe, Jr. after shots were fired at Trump International Golf Club near former President Donald Trump.
“I applaud the Secret Service for their quick response to ensure former President Trump’s safety,” Schumer added.
“There is no place in this country for political violence of any kind. The perpetrator must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Walz says he’s “glad” Trump is safe and condemns violence
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz said he and his wife are “glad” that former President Donald Trump is safe following what the FBI is saying is an apparent assassination attempt against him.
The statement, which follows closely to what Vice President Kamala Harris wrote earlier, also condemns violence.
Thank you for timely, accurate and reliable reporting WE ALL NEED
“When will they stop?” We already know the answer to this rhetorical question…Will be interesting to see what the poop is on this guy Ryan Wesley Routh. Ah yes, a Lib from the great state of HI.

Όποιος δεν καταλαβαίνει ποιοί κρύβονται πίσω από της απόπειρες του
Προέδρου Τράμ , θα πρέπει να καλέσει έναν Παπά να του κάνει Αγιασμό…!
Larry Kudlow kept predicting Trump would get a 2nd attempt!
Of course Larry Kudlow knew there would be a second attempt on Trump! Any Neocon of the Uni Party of The Republican and Democratic party knows what the Durham Report revealed.. “FBI, Justice Department colluded with members of the U.S congress , State Department and Intelligence services and Media to promote a campaign of Misinformation and Disinformation to charge Donald Trump of colluding with Russia to interfere and meddle in the elections of 2016 and the “internal affairs” of America which led to impeachment trial of Donald trump to remove him from office !
There is a common denominator … between the assassination attempt on Donald Trump , and Assassination of JFK ,Robert Kennedy, and Martin luther King Jr… they all were promoting the end of Wars by the U.S military and Congress… JFK and Martin luther King Jr. were both anti -war advocates working to stop U.S war in Vietnam! Donald Trump … has declared he will end the war in the Ukraine , and worst has publically informed the public that ” the U.S government was taking us to World WAR 3 and Nuclear devastation as he declared in the Presidential Debate! This is a NO! NO! …for the Military Industrial complex, who recently officially declared War on Russia , by approving the use of US. long range missiles to strike Russia , which Russia has made clear it will retaliate on US, which will evoke massive death and destruction !
Un beknown, to most Americans, in 1993 , A civil lawsuit brought by loretta Scott King ..wife of Martin luther King Jr. against the U.S government for conspiring to murder and assassinate Martin luther King Jr. ! In a Shelby, Tennessee District court a Jury found after 5 weeks of Testimony “that there was abundant evidence of a major, high-level conspiracy in the assassination of my husband.” The jury found that the mafia and various local, state, and federal government and military agencies “were deeply involved in the assassination…. Mr. Ray was set up to take the blame.”
In 1993, 25 years after the assassination, Loyd Jowers, who had owned a restaurant near the Lorraine Motel, claimed that he had been closely associated with organized crime figures in Memphis and that with their assistance he hired a Memphis police lieutenant to assassinate Dr. King. Jowers subsequently expanded on his allegations by claiming that if the assassin had not been successful or backed out of the conspiracy, a “special forces team” from the United States Army was in Memphis and would have completed the assassination. Jowers further alleged that the decision to assassinate Dr. King had been authorized by President Lyndon Johnson upon the recommendation of the CIA, the FBI, and the Pentagon because Dr. King’s opposition to continuing the Viet Nam War was having a significant impact on public opinion.
So Helleniscope ..based on the Durham Report, Tucker Carlson Report that C.I.A And Mafia assassinated JFK , and Martin luther king Jr Assassination ruling , and the Pentagon Papers by Daniel Elsberg, and Weeki leaks reports .. we now know exactly who and why .. America wages Endless Wars thruout the world , and more importantly, assassinates Political leaders of not only America, but the leaders of foreign countries thruout the world with their Zionist C.I.A and Mossad hit men!
So Nick .. i hope you will share this comment with Your Neocon “Sons of liberty” , who will probably demand war with Iran , Russia, China for attempting to attempt the leader of the Republican Party!
None of the democratic candidates for the White House advocate violence against Trump.
They do in a very loud way: How many times the psychopath suspect heard on TV that “Trump is a threat to democracy?” Bob, we only accept comments in good faith here. Keep it in mind.
They will not stop. Unfortunately for them, they are unaware that this country as presently constituted, will not be able to survive the consequences.
Hey Bobbi …in response to your post.. let me remind you of what Joe Biden declared in Philadelphia about a year ago…
Biden : the Donald Trump magna Republican are “Racist White Supremacist and Semi-fascist terrorist threatening the democracy of America ! However, in all fairness … Republican and Democrats like lindsey Graham and Hillary Clinton have called for the Assassinations of political leaders of Russia, Syria, Iraq , Iran or their violent removal , and the Mossad and C.I.A enforcers have a public record of doing that!
Helleniscope is right about this, but still fails to recognize that this is Mafia Gang warfare between the competing crime families called the Republican and Democratic Crime syndicates to control the money and power of America and the world !
