Prosecutors file alleged letter from Trump
suspect: ‘This was an assassination attempt’

Original Article

The suspect being investigated in the recent apparent assassination attempt of former President Trump wrote a letter detailing his plans months prior, prosecutors alleged in court documents filed Monday. “Dear world, this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I am so sorry I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster,” the alleged letter reads. Prosecutors said Ryan Routh, the 58-year-old suspect, put the letter inside a box and dropped it off with an unnamed witness “several months” before he pushed the muzzle of a rifle through the perimeter of Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course in Florida on Sept. 15.

So have I got this right? Several months before SEPT 15, Routh wrote and delivered an apology to the world that he HAD FAILED an assassination attempt on Trump. Would that be before or after JUL 13 (Crooks attempt)? And is he saying that he knew in advance that he would fail? Isn't that peculiar?

The note's first paragraph in full: “Dear World, This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I am so sorry I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It’s up to you to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.” The filing (with a photo of the note) is linked in the body of the article.

Why was this released so quickly? Why are there no redactions, especially about the bounty? This is completely different from the way the DoJ has handled shootings over the last few years. The bounty alone, no matter how fictional, is an incredible incitement for other nutcases that have already been stirred up by the disgusting leftist officials and their lapdog media.

Perhaps he and the shooter from Pennsylvania were working together, as they were both in Blackrock ads and perhaps knew each other. I am still waiting on the report that a proximity search of the suspect's phone revealed that someone with a phone nearby the Pennsylvania shooter's residence also showed up in the Washington, DC area. How many more people involved are out there?

Have they authenticated this? The package containing the note was delivered MONTHS before the assassination attempt. This is weird and unbelievable, and I am having doubts about this. In the article, Routh calls Trump brainless. Has he looked at Biden? Mindless thoughtless hatred on display. Gee, who ginned that up?

Maybe it was one of those written in advanced in case he failed. It sounded odd because how did he know he was going to fail and couple that with is the fact that nothing is to be believed coming from the FBI, and something like this comes up. This guy was so full of himself that his sickness was bound to burst out. He should have been blotted out a long time ago. Never accomplished anything. Just ran his big mouth. Just the kind of guy the FBI would pick for a mission like this. Wasn't there a picture of Crooks wearing the shirt with red cross like Routh's? Coincident?

Democrats worried about polls undercounting
Donald Trump’s support

Democrats are increasingly worried that pollsters are undercounting Donald Trump’s voter support, rating his prospects of winning November’s presidential election as much higher than headline opinion polling figures suggest. While most national surveys show consistent, though moderate, leads for Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, some supporters are unnerved by the small margin of her advantage in three northern battlegrounds – Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin – which are deemed must-wins in her quest for the White House. Although some polls have shown the vice-president with leads of between four and six points in Pennsylvania – generally judged the most important swing state – others show Trump trailing by smaller deficits.

Former President Donald Trump surged ahead by five points in Arizona, maintained a four point lead in Georgia, and held steady in North Carolina, according to New York Times/Siena College presidential election polling on Monday. Seven states — Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina — will decide the presidential election, political experts believe. If Trump wins one or more of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia, Kamala Harris’s path to obtain 270 electoral votes becomes almost impossible. Arizona Trump’s surged ten points in the Copper State since August to take a five point lead (50-45 percent) over Vice President Kamala Harris

The second presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris failed to give the Democrat hopeful a “boost,” Politico’s polling experts acknowledged Monday. Politico’s analysis runs counter to the establishment media claims Harris received a significant increase in support following the debate. Politico’s Steven Shepard reported: But surveys point to just a slight Harris bump, with national polls showing the Democrat’s lead has grown by about 1 percentage point since the day of the debate — even including national polls from NBC News and CBS News on Sunday giving Harris a mid-single-digit lead.

Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News that he plans to aggressively ramp up his campaign activity in the final 40 or so days until the election, with events set across the battleground states, but also in red states and blue states. “We’re going to be doing a lot of campaigning and going to a lot of places, not just the swing states because I feel that states that are sort of automatically with us I don’t think should be excluded,” Trump said in a nearly hour-long phone interview on Sunday. “We should reward them for loyalty.

Kamala Harris is out campaigning at long last, but her schedule this week doesn't seem to include the swing states of the South. Instead of campaigning in North Carolina (16 electoral college votes) and Georgia (16 votes), she's focused on Arizona (11 votes), Nevada (6 votes) and Pennsylvania (19 votes) this week. Pennsylvania, I can understand. It's hotly contested. But her lunge for the Western states over the Southern states suggests maybe her chances aren't quite as good as she'd like. Or perhaps just as likely, she's alarmed at the inroads made by the Trump side of the contest in those Western redoubts, particularly Arizona, where Trump reportedly leads, polls show.

On Monday, the Department of Justice released a handwritten letter from Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. The letter, written months before the attempt, was turned over to authorities by a witness who received it along with other items in a box several months prior. And the son of Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., is blasting the Department of Justice for releasing the letter. "This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump,” the letter began, "but I am so sorry I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster."

Volodymyr Zelensky has joined the growing list of foreigners campaigning for Kamala Harris. No doubt the media mavens of the transnational elite will call for immediate impeachment of Harris for her collusion with Zelensky to interfere in our election. Yeah, right. Sure, it's true that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been funneling uncounted billions into Ukraine and that much of that money has been sucked up by corrupt politicians and their buddies, But this is the right sort of corruption, so nobody in the Establishment is bothered by it at all.

One of the more confusing things about this election cycle is the total disconnect between what the polls are showing--a race with Kamala Harris slightly but consistently ahead--and all the other data we see with our own eyes. Pollsters find lots of people who have swung heavily toward Kamala Harris despite the same people thinking she was an ineffective and vapid Vice President two months ago. But then you see reporters in search of Harris voters, and they are pretty scarce on the ground. There are even accounts on Twitter tracking the cell phones of attendees at Harris rallies, which show that many of the people attending aren't

LONDON -- The Israeli military expanded its Lebanon campaign with hundreds of airstrikes on Monday, as the long-simmering border conflict with Hezbollah threatened to explode into a larger war. Dozens of Israeli warplanes struck more than 800 targets in southern Lebanon on Monday morning, according to the Israel Defense Forces. At least 274 people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded in the ongoing strikes, among them women, children and medical personnel, the Lebanon Ministry of Public Health said. Of those killed, 21 were children and 39 were women, the ministry said.

The IDF is pre-empting security threats rather than waiting to respond to attacks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said as the IDF said it had struck around 800 Hezbollah targets and called on Lebanese civilians to evacuate homes near the terror group’s missile sites. "I would like to clarify Israel's policy to whoever does not yet understand,” Netanyahu stated as he held security consultations with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF Chief-of-Staff Herzi Halevi. “We are not waiting for the threat, we are pre-empting it – everywhere, in every sector, constantly. We are eliminating senior figures, terrorists, and missiles – and our arm is still extended,” he stressed.

Multiple reports on Sunday and Monday indicated, citing unnamed sources, that attempts by the administration of President Joe Biden to end Israel’s self-defense operations against the jihadist terrorist organization Hamas in Gaza have not yielded any significant progress. Both Israel and Hamas reportedly rejected the latest attempts at a ceasefire deal from the White House, the Times of Israel reported on Sunday, suggesting that the Israeli government politely raised “reservations” with the proposed agreement, while Hamas terror leaders “flatly rejected” the deal. The proposed deal appears to be the result of a visit to Egypt, a core mediator, by Secretary of State Antony Blinken

If there is a Third World War, historians will note that — like the First — it began with weak and unimaginative leadership and in the unlikeliest of places. No one could have known that an assassin's bullets in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, would begin a monthslong march to a global war from which Europe has not (and never will) culturally recover. If we're sliding into another global war, historians will write that the years-long march began in Kabul, Afghanistan on Aug. 15, 2021. How did we get here? It all started with cold, hard cash.

Shocking new details were released by Republicans on the House Oversight Committee on Friday of US military brass ignoring President Trump’s request for security on January 6th. President Trump knew there would be a massive crowd of Americans at the planned rallies outside the US Capitol and at the Ellipse that day. So, Trump ordered the National Guard to be deployed to the US Capitol prior to the planned protests on January 6. The newly surfaced transcripts, which were previously concealed, reveal the truth that many in the mainstream media have ignored.

As Democrats revel in Vice President Harris closing the polling gap against former President Trump, speculation is ramping up over who might serve in a potential Harris Cabinet if she prevails in November. Any Cabinet appointee would likely face a razor-thin Democratic-controlled or GOP-controlled Senate, meaning Harris would have to balance partisan realities with her desire to break the mold with her choices, like naming the first woman to head the Pentagon.“I’m sure it will be very diverse. I think it will be a mix of people who have been around Washington for a while in these kinds of roles because she respects that,

Speaking at a recent business summit in West Hollywood, Diller — the mogul who runs the left-wing Daily Beast, among many other media properties — glossed over the many failures of the Biden-Harris administration, including record consumer prices, an unprecedented tidal wave of illegal immigrants, and the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. None of that appears to matter to Diller. What does matter is getting rid of Trump.

The incident reportedly happened near 32nd and Fessenden Streets in northwest Washington, DC. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment and is expected to recover from his injuries.
