Report: Secret Service Reportedly Ignored
Warning About Man With Rifle on Roof
Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/13/2024 10:40:41 PM
An eyewitness at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania claims he saw a man with a rifle on a rooftop. He said he warned authorities but was ignored. "We couldn't see [Trump], but we could hear him. So we walked up probably five to seven minutes from Trump speaking—I'm estimating here, I've no idea. But we noticed the guy crawling, bear-crawling up the roof of the building beside us, fifty feet away from us. So we're standing there, you know, we're pointing, we're pointing at that guy crawling up the roof." "He had a gun, right?"

US authorities obtained intelligence from a human source in recent weeks on a plot by Iran to try to assassinate Donald Trump, a development that led to the Secret Service increasing security around the former president in recent weeks, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN.
There’s no indication that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin who attempted to kill the former president on Saturday, was connected to the plot, the sources said.
The existence of the intelligence threat from a hostile foreign intelligence agency — and the enhanced security for Trump — raises new questions about the security lapses at the Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and how a 20-year-old

SpaceX CEO and X owner Elon Musk said Tuesday he will move the headquarters of both companies from California to Texas.
Musk vowed the moves in response to Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) signing a new law on Tuesday that bars school districts in California from requiring parents to be notified of a child’s gender identification change. “This is the final straw. Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California to Starbase, Texas,” Musk posted on X. He later added that X HQ will also move from San Francisco to Austin.
A popular firearms influencer spoke out Monday on YouTube condemning Thomas Matthew Crooks' attempted assassination of former president Trump and said he was stunned to learn the shooter was wearing a Demolition Ranch T-shirt.
"As a lot of you guys know — and we were shocked and confused to find this out — the shooter who tried to assassinate Trump was wearing merch from my channel, wearing a Demolition Ranch T-shirt," Matt Carriker told his 11 million subscribers.
The video has racked up nearly 4 million views.
"We don’t vet the people who buy our shirts," Carriker said. "I would love to keep people like that from buying
A Community in Shock

Bethel Park, Pa. — The road leading into Bethel Park, where former president Donald Trump’s would-be assassin lived, is decorated with American flags, “Trump/Pence” signs, “Trump 2024: No More Bullsh**” banners, and “Bethel Park salutes” posters. On almost every corner in town hangs a military banner, part of a program the municipality started to pay tribute to community members who served in the Armed Forces. The town displays banners of local heroes from Memorial Day to Veterans Day each year, among them Leo John Kelly, who was killed in action in Vietnam, and Sgt. Russell A. Kurtz, who was killed in Iraq
President Joe Biden will reportedly continue to frame former President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy following the assassination attempt that nearly killed the former president.
The Biden campaign paused its attacks against Trump after the assassination attempt on Saturday, but those attacks are set to resume in Nevada on Tuesday, contradicting Biden’s calls for unity. Biden, who will return to the campaign trail for the first time post-assassination attempt, plans to renew attacks on Trump as a “threat to democracy,” the New York Times reported:
And even as Mr. Biden focuses on the economy, his administration has made clear that it will continue to frame Mr. Trump
The Biden campaign says former president Donald Trump’s decision to select Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate makes it “more clear than ever that our rights, our freedoms, and our democracy are on the line this November.”
The fearmongering rhetoric comes just two days after Trump survived an attempted assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pa.
Trump announced his VP pick on the first day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, selecting Vance from a shortlist that reportedly included North Dakota governor Doug Burgum and Florida Senator Marco Rubio.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough did not react kindly to the network removing his show from the air Monday following the assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump.
Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski, his wife, addressed the situation Tuesday and accused MSNBC of lying to them about replacing the show with breaking news coverage of the fallout from the Trump assassination attempt. If MSNBC does that again, Scarborough said, he will leave the show and they can find a new host.
“We were told, in no uncertain terms on Sunday evening that there was going to be one news feed across all NBC news channels yesterday,” Scarborough said. “That did not happen.”
The Labour Party government in Britain will continue with the prohibition on healthcare providers prescribing puberty-blocking drugs to children, Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said.
Streeting, like Prime Minister Keir Starmer, initially appeared to struggle with comprehending basic biology, infamously declaring that “trans women are women”. However, the new Health Secretary seemingly evolved on the issue of gender and said in 2022 that “men have penises, women have vaginas”… to the consternation of his woke base.
Now, having been installed in his cabinet post earlier this month, the openly gay Labour politician is continuing to reject the far-left excesses of gender ideologues
Enough about Joe Biden's mindless nastiness. I'll take my cue from Donald Trump and Biden himself and focus on policy this morning.
Specifically, let's talk about Joe Biden's mindless and nasty demagoguery on economic policies. Faced with the electoral consequences of his corrosive inflationary wave, especially in shelter costs, Biden has to come up with some promised policy solution. And that is ... federal rent control:
President Joe Biden is ready to propose a 5% cap on annual rent increases for tenants of major landlords as he tries to show he’s doing something about the high cost of housing, according to a person familiar with the plan.
That Was Quick: Biden Is Getting Nasty Again

For one bright, shining moment Joe Biden made the case for toning down the rhetoric, turning down the political temperature, and unifying the country.
Of course, he didn't mean it, but at least you would have thought that he would recognize that getting nasty two days after an assassin shot Donald Trump, leaving one dead spectator and others grievously wounded.
But no, this is Joe Biden. He is, at base, a nasty person who cannot NOT tell a lie and smear his opponents. It is his nature, and the only thing holding him back now is his mental incapacity.

David Sacks, the general partner of Craft Ventures, a venture capital fund, spoke at the RNC, and he did not hold back his criticisms of President Biden and his administration.
Sacks started off his speech by letting folks know he is a legal immigrant:
Good evening America. I'm David Sacks, a legal immigrant, who worked hard to achieve the American Dream. Now, I'm concerned those same opportunities won't be there for future generations. As I look out at this convention, I see a party that is strong and unified behind President Donald J. Trump, and his pick for Vice President Sen. J.D. Vance.

How exactly did Kimberly Cheatle rise the lead the United States Secret Service? A new report points the finger at Jill Biden, stating that she and her top advisor pushed for the appointment.
That decision culminated in an attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Saturday. The former president was shot in the ear, narrowly avoiding death while a chaotic and clumsy response from the Secret Service followed. It was a disastrous event for an agency with a zero-fail mission.

This is a scary moment in America, and we need a leader who won’t exploit the chaos. Someone who can strike just the right tone – with humanity, and moral clarity – that trickles down to other leaders in both parties, reminding us of our values, our better selves.
Joe Biden rose to the occasion. He expressed sincere empathy for Donald Trump and other victims of Saturday’s horrific attack, including a father killed while protecting his family from bullets. He called on all Americans to “lower the temperature in our politics,” and to reject violence in any form. He did his part, dialed it down,

United States President Joe Biden is set to reveal a nationwide plan to cap rental costs, according to three sources cited by The Washington Post on Monday.
This announcement, expected in Nevada on Tuesday, addresses growing voter frustration over skyrocketing housing prices, especially in Nevada where citizens have experienced surges in housing costs, Biden aims to bolster his economic standing among voters.
The proposal includes eliminating a tax benefit for landlords raising rents by over 5% annually, affecting those owning more than 50 units. This move seeks to protect tenants without discouraging new construction.
Embattled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle says she has no plans to resign, even after the stunning revelation that the agency decided not to guard the roof from which Thomas Crooks opened fire on former President Donald Trump because it was too slanted. “That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof,” she told ABC News in a startling admission.“And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside,” she told the outlet.
BUTLER, Pa. — The Secret Service blamed local police for failing to secure the rooftop from which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, insisting it was outside the perimeter the federal agency was tasked with protecting.
Instead, securing and patrolling the factory grounds of AGR International Inc. — located about 130 yards from the stage where Trump was speaking Saturday — was the responsibility of local Pennsylvania police, Secret Service representative Anthony Gugliemi said, according to the New York Times.
The Secret Service was only tasked with covering the grounds where Trump’s rally took place, with local police being recruited to assist with those efforts and
Following U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon's decision to dismiss the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump, Special counsel Jack Smith said he intends to file an appeal.
"The dismissal of the case deviates from the uniform conclusion of all previous courts to have considered the issue that the Attorney General is statutorily authorized to appoint a Special Counsel. The Justice Department has authorized the Special Counsel to appeal the court’s order," Peter Carr, Public Information Jack Smith's office told Fox News Digital.
With an eye toward the future of a Republican Party dominated by former President Trump and his legions of MAGA supporters, Trump has named 39-year-old Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate on the GOP'S 2024 national ticket. The former president, who made his greatly anticipated and high-stakes announcement on Monday as the Republican National Convention kicked off in swing-state Wisconsin's largest city, will now share the ticket with one of his top supporters in the Senate and a one-time Trump critic who has transformed into a leading America First disciple.

In the 48 hours before he opened fire on former President Donald Trump, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks made a series of stops in and around his suburban Pittsburgh hometown. On Friday, he went to a shooting range where he was a member, and practiced firing, [Snip] The next morning, Crooks went to a Home Depot, where he bought a five-foot ladder, and a gun store, where he purchased 50 rounds of ammunition, the official said. [Snip] He parked the car outside the rally, with an improvised explosive device hidden in the trunk that was wired to a transmitter he carried, the official said.
One of the big questions that many have about the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump is how the shooter was able to get onto the roof, close enough to be able to shoot Trump and hit three other people, killing one and wounding two others. Plus, why, once he was spotted, wasn't he dealt with sooner, or why Trump wasn't rushed off the stage?
It would appear that someone dropped the ball in a severe failure.

Biden’s FBI has announced that they believe the would-be assassin at former President Trump’s Pennsylvania rally on Saturday acted alone.
The statement comes despite the bureau’s inability to access data from the suspect’s cell phone, which has been sent to Quantico for further examination.
Kevin Rojek, FBI Special Agent in Charge Pittsburgh, said that the information currently available to the bureau suggests that there is no further public safety concern. However, he also noted that the investigation is still in its early stages, according to Fox News.

Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz, in the clip below, discussed the attempted assassination with Stephanopoulos and said that no matter what, “you are going to hear conspiracy theories going forward.” Just like we did after the JFK assassination, right?
