The Democrat leaders and the MSM mouthpieces for them have been repeatedly asking for what happened yesterday. Violence is all they have left to offer, as their policies have turned our country into an over run banana republic, governed by an obviously demented president. It’s clear to many of us that God has his hand on Trump and this nation. I hope that people are on their knees thanking God for saving Trump and imploring Him to give America one more chance. Trump states this often- they are not just coming after him, but they are coming for Us. He is just in their way.
Many young people signed up as Republicans so they could vote in the primary for Nikki Haley, thus supposedly submarining Trump's chances. The guy paid money to far-left Dem organizations, including Act Blue. NOT a Republican.
He’s a registered Republican. Period!!. Which means he was confused to begin with. Doesn’t matter what he was, he still was a confused and manipulated individual. Caused mainly by a criminal conman maned Trump. Spin it any way that works for you.
Mark, you can say anything you want, it doesn't affect me except I feel sorry for you. Trump is connected to a higher power. He has meaning and purpose. You seem to have no meaning or purpose except to hate Trump.
When you center your entire opposition on hating a person, you tend to be even more obsessed than those who support him. It's like how atheists despite claiming to hate or reject God, constantly think about him and Christian belivers.
OK…sounding like a bot (walks like a bot, talks like a bot, …) but please stay off my line…you see, a man reaches a certain age where he doesn't want any drama. He doesn't want to fight anyone - and if forced to, he will not fight fair. He will not quit and there are no weapons he will not use. It's best to leave him alone with his coffee, bourbon and cigars. Don't poke the old men. They will hurt you.
Yes, agree, God is in full control…as for the election, Too Big to Rig...long time between now & Nov 5...lots can happen…I suspect much will come to light that will answer many Qs…one example, many key Qs re Ukraine...
Dr. Aijian, i'm not endorsing, but linking to this by Igor Chudov which is an interesting exploration into the parallels between the assassination attempt of Trump and the one of the Slovakia's Prime Minister - after both men spoke out against the vaccine.
Having led "SWAT" teams for many years at the Sheriff's Office, it is hard to believe that the sniper was able to get that close to the former President. In my training and experiences, "high ground" is the first thought in a potential shooting situation (Harvey Lee Oswald). It will be interesting to see the results of the "after action" report. I am a Trump supporter but those shots were fired at democracy.
Dressed in camo and openly carrying an assault rifle, he may have just been mistaken as part of a "protective detail" of the several agencies who were there to provide security.
No Stephen, all agents within the zone are tracked so they know where their guys are vs
the bad guys. Watch Russian News because they have video from folks there that our mainline media are concealing. People at the rally see "The Shooter" and point to him
from one to five minutes BEFORE "The Shooter" gets into position. That is castrophic
for the Secret Service that regular folks "SPOT" "The Shooter" yet the Secret Service
Stands Bye and does not address "The Shooter" who executes his planned assination.
This will be, unfortunately propably another "Cover Up" you can see it coming.
The Russian's almost immediately 1. Had the make of the rifle 2. The number of shots fired 3. The location of the shooter 3. The fact he was not professionally trained for if so, Trump would be dead 4. Major Break-down in Secret Service.
Where did the "Russians" get this information? From the BBC, or have you confirmed that RT actually had a reporter in situ? As a Cold War veteran we read Pravda and Red Star, but took anything they said with a 'grain of salt.' Russia does not have an independent media, that was all shut down a few years ago and the "Russian Free Press" are now broadcasting from Lithuania. Believing "Tokyo Rose" and "Axis Sally" was paramount to treason. Taking Putin's media at face value without vetting is not unlike believing something you hear on CNN or MSNBC.
Hello Stephen, regular people at the Trump rally posted video on social media.
Russian news picked it up and immediately put it on thier news. They, the Russian's had
the information before we did because our "Fake News" has been told to "Stand Down"
and not play the "Obvious" Assissination attempt of Trump on the Mainline Media at
least for some time. The same for Ukraine Battle field news. Russia plays the very specific battle vidoes, drone strikes and satallite and almost every day, of Russia killing alot of Ukraines. Something you are never going to get from Western Media. The Ukraine bloggers, explaining "The War" are now using Russian bloggers or the Russian news because Ukraine does not want you to see the absolute carnage upon Ukraine and it is getting worse and worse.
Stephen, to answer your question about why a registered Republican would try to kill Trump the answer could very well be that the shooter, like quite a number of anti Republicans did in the last primary,, register in their state's primary as a Republican in order to be able to vote for an alternative candidate to push Trump out.
Hello Mr. Thomas you can listen here on a former Secret Service Agent, Dan Bogino who just stated that Trump's assassination attempt was a major Security failure by the Secret Service
and the Director of the SS should immediately resign "100 % Failure." This is not the agency I grew up with." "We need a Hot Wash on this."
I am not a big Bogino fan but he is correct in his assessment as I have pointed out in my posts here. The Russian's knew what was going on before most Americans.
“Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness. Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed. In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win. I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin.
Very important and moving article Mr. Buckly!!! I am shocked by the disingenuousness of the left on all this- the kabuki theatre continues with such concern. The mainstream leftist media looked as if it was reporting honestly yesterday and it was out of place. The evil has elevated Trump to a Braveheart figure! God bless the USA!!!
There is nothing quite so partisan as a political assassination. Predictable from your side of the aisle? Absolutely!!! Nearly everyone on here knows that you don't know what "nonsense" means.
Yeah! Great observation idiot! Your own fuckup from your own fucked up party tried to take out your cult leader. And predictably failed! You clowns will never learn.
Mark, there are at least two people who frequent this combox that share a mind of violence against their political opponents just as this sick bastard who tried to assassinate former president Trump and you are most definitely one of them. Your infantile diversions suggesting otherwise don't fool anyone except perhaps yourself and the other irrational commenter. It is ironic that you dare to use the word "learn," for clearly you are an unteachable dolt.
With so much hyperbolic ranting by the left about how he was going to destroy democracy (the country), that was very likely the cause.
Saying things matters. Lying matters. It seems like there is a massive libel/slander case here. Telling the world that someone is going to destroy democracy when there is not factual basis is a breech. Public figures are a more open target for libel/slander, but perhaps that needs to be changed, becasue as we may be seeing, it’s causing harm.

Allegedly Alexa (Amazon) was recently asked about fraud in the 2020 election and she agreed. Amazon masters immediately stated they would need to "adjust" her programming.
Wrong!! But your cluelessness and hypocrisy defines you. Try some real research. The shooter was 20 years old, a registered Republican, and as foolish and clueless as they come. Many of the traits you Trumptard morons possess.
It’s nicer to not live amongst traitors in my own country. And millions upon millions of patriotic Americans who know a criminal conman when they smell one will eventually rid this county of Trump and his cult. You can count on it!!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful words I feel exactly the same - I was sitting in front of the tv
when Trump began his rally and was horrified - with phone calls from friends, we all were reminded of the attempt on Reagan and sadly the killing of President Kennedy. It has been a miserable night, just trying to put out of my mind any other worse possibilities. The week ahead will be a difficult one for all Americans - thanks again - I mostly do not comment, but very much enjoy all the writings.
It is 1963 all over again. They let the shooter take aim even though spectators report that they were pointing out the shooter to the agents and police before hand and they did nothing, they patiently waited until after he was allowed to fire, and only then did they take him out so he could not talk. Sound familiar?
Secret Service ineptitude or enablement?… don’t count on people like the Attorney General or the head of the FBI to answer that one. They have been focused on eliminating Trump in their own way for years. We are living in a time where possibly a majority of Americans believe that the same deep state took out JFK. The Secret Service is now headed by a woman whose prior job was security for PepsiCo. Her DEI hired agents were on display running around like scared chickens, trying to put a gun in the holster. This is the result of allowing the non elected bureaucrats in government to have so much power. The only one even remotely likely to rein them in is now missing a piece of his right ear.
Her job prior to leading Security at Pepsi was serving for the Secret Service for 27 years, rising to high-ranking positions such as Assistant Director of the Office of Protective Operations. So quit trying to down rate her history or job performance. It's kind of a slight like - the two lowest prestige docs are internal medicine and family practice. They keep trying to fight for who is not at the bottom - and all the other docs don't care. But at least most of these docs historically have been women.
Excellent collection of one man’s thoughts while experiencing yesterday’s assassination event…love the Henley’s ‘Invictus’ sentiment…brought to mind ‘If’ by Rudyard Kipling…
Last night’s assassination attempt was Deja vu all over again reminding Michele and me of the dismal evening in 1968 when one minute we were watching Robert Kennedy celebrate winning the CA primary and the next shot and left dying on the floor. His death changed the dynamic of the 1968 election. This time God seemed to raise up his hand and provide us with a miracle. A slight movement of his head saved his life. Will this miracle change the dynamic of this year’s campaign? I am not too optimistic, but it points out that voters are motivated by the angry rhetoric of our leaders not just to vote but to take violent action. I have seen enough political violence in my life time and will vote on the issues. I think there are enough sane people who see the need to course correct the country.
My first thoughts were of his wife and children. Watching him grab his head and fall to the sound of pop-pop stunned me, but sadly did not surprise me after the attacks on his participation in social media, business, financial resources, reputation, family, and freedom, as his popularity increased the attacks were left with obvious lies---he is mean, a liar and so forth---failed...
Several troubling issues on multiple fronts. It was seem there was systemic failure on the part of the Secret Service.
It is my understanding Bennie Thompson, moron Congressman from Mississippi, tried to remove Trump’s protection from the SS some time ago. Clearly, there needs to be a Congressional investigation into this massive security breach.
Questions remain, how can a 20 year old loser, get so close to a former president and squeeze off multiple shots?
Being a gun owner and former Army Sargent, I am very concerned about long rifles with multiple/rapid fire capability, such as the AR-25. What if the sniper team consisted of 5 assassins? The 223 round is extremely high velocity and inherently dangerous. These type of weapons are classified by the military as “anti personnel “ and have one function.
The Democratic death cult needs to be held accountable for their vicious and malignant rhetoric directed at our former president.
Pay back needs to come at the ballot box and can’t happen fast enough!
Remember folks, if the Democrats can use our legal system to frame Trump and then flame hatred to the point a lone nut case attempts assassination, what chance does the rest of us have?
I was at the Senior Center Thrift Shop in Dripping Springs, Texas. My son called me and told to get home; someone had just attempted to kill Trump. I told the lady at the register that I had to leave because someone had just tried to kill the former President. She also became emotional and picked up her phone to see if the story was true. We briefly exchanged our reactions of shock and sadness before I hoofed it to the car and headed to my son’s home. My neighbor called and wanted to know what the hell was going on. She expressed a series of doubts because her social media feed had all sorts of contradictory, wild reports. I began getting similar texts from friends back in Santa Ynez.
When I arrived at the little homestead, my sone was stationed in my ADU answering questing from an old friend who works in entertainment in Los Angeles. A life long Democrat, our friend voted for Hillary in 2016 but chose to sit out the 2020 election as, while not yet a Republican, he no longer felt at home in the current Democrat party.
The three of us talked about what had happened for over an hour, and kicked around various scenarios and ‘what ifs’. We debated who should be the VP candidate in light of what had happened in Pennsylvania. Whoever Trump picks for the VP slot needs to be prepared to take the reins on day one should those who wish to destroy Trump are successful in any follow up attempts. My son likes Vivek, who I think is great but would be vulnerable to being played as Trump was during his first term. Our film friend likes Tulsi Gabbard. I like her too, and she brings a lot to the table but my first choice is JD Vance. He knows how the sausage is made but he is not part of the uni-party. Tulsi has similar bonfides but she won’t deliver Hawaii. Vance will deliver Ohio, although after what happened yesterday Ohio is likely going for Trump in a landslide.
Sorry for going off topic but I’m avoiding saying anything that relates to security failures, Secret Service DEI and/or corruption, comparing accused shooter to Lee Harvey Oswald, or do any speculating about this being an “inside job”. I am just responding to the author about how this news played out in my world.
I really appreciate Mr. Buckley sharing his personal experience following the murder of John Lennon. I was at home in Bakersfield ignoring my husband and his buddies watching Monday night football. When Howard Cosell came on screen and announced John Lennon had been shot and killed in front of his Dakota Apartment building I was paying full attention. I told everyone in the room it wasn’t true. I yelled profanities at Cosell, accusing him of not knowing ‘crap’ and demanding we find a real news report. This was long before we had internet of social media.
My reaction to watching, then re-watching many times, our former President react to the gunshots, then re-emerge looking strong and brave, I burst into tears. Every time the bastards land a blow on this man he becomes stronger. He is a once in 100 years type of leader. Invictus was the perfect poem to post with this article. Thank you.
Ben Carson and his wife's immediate comments after this event were 100% on point. No one should ever underestimate the mettle of this quietly spoken man. MY VP choice too.
The Democrat leaders and the MSM mouthpieces for them have been repeatedly asking for what happened yesterday. Violence is all they have left to offer, as their policies have turned our country into an over run banana republic, governed by an obviously demented president. It’s clear to many of us that God has his hand on Trump and this nation. I hope that people are on their knees thanking God for saving Trump and imploring Him to give America one more chance. Trump states this often- they are not just coming after him, but they are coming for Us. He is just in their way.
I thank The Creator for Trump’s survival and have come to the conclusion that Trump was born for this role in this life…

Pray for Trump…Pray for his family…Pray for Our Country
Ummm, and oh yeah! also “try” to do your “thoughts and prayers” for the victims as well. One dead, a couple more critically injured.
Is it because a gun fired itself? Keep thinking. What put the trigger finger in motion?
What? Another delusional Republican put the trigger in motion. You just crawl out from under a rock?
Many young people signed up as Republicans so they could vote in the primary for Nikki Haley, thus supposedly submarining Trump's chances. The guy paid money to far-left Dem organizations, including Act Blue. NOT a Republican.
Act Blue is left, sure. What makes something "far-left". I think you're just sensationalizing it.
He’s a registered Republican. Period!!. Which means he was confused to begin with. Doesn’t matter what he was, he still was a confused and manipulated individual. Caused mainly by a criminal conman maned Trump. Spin it any way that works for you.
Please stop with the lie that the shooter donated to ActBlue, that was an older man with the same name. The shooter was also an NRA member.
Mark, thanks for keeping the "other side" real to all who read you. We appreciate the reminders about what is at stake this election year.
You scumbags need all the help you can get. And “the other side” I’m not a part of either so sorry to disappoint you there.
Where do you people go when you lose? Another country for a few years? Back under your rocks?
Mark, you can say anything you want, it doesn't affect me except I feel sorry for you. Trump is connected to a higher power. He has meaning and purpose. You seem to have no meaning or purpose except to hate Trump.
God does not have a political affiliation.
Amen.
When you center your entire opposition on hating a person, you tend to be even more obsessed than those who support him. It's like how atheists despite claiming to hate or reject God, constantly think about him and Christian belivers.
And yet it does!!
see that you are up early for your morning drive-by cheap shots…nothing of substance…Methinks your just another Nancy in drag…
You don’t thinks!! That’s been your MO.
OK…sounding like a bot (walks like a bot, talks like a bot, …) but please stay off my line…you see, a man reaches a certain age where he doesn't want any drama. He doesn't want to fight anyone - and if forced to, he will not fight fair. He will not quit and there are no weapons he will not use. It's best to leave him alone with his coffee, bourbon and cigars. Don't poke the old men. They will hurt you.
You wish asshole!!
I believe God redirected Trumps head to avoid a bully to his head. Will God stop the steal of the 2024 election
Yes, agree, God is in full control…as for the election, Too Big to Rig...long time between now & Nov 5...lots can happen…I suspect much will come to light that will answer many Qs…one example, many key Qs re Ukraine...
What groups are financing Ukraine?
Why are they financing Ukraine?

Sounds like a very mixed up young male - like so many other shootings.

According to the news report people at the event pointed out the rifle carrying man on the roof to authorities 3 minutes prior to the shooting
My thoughts EXACTLY!
Glad you're on this form Jim - glad to get a pro's anaylsis of law enforcement techniques and priorities.
Dressed in camo and openly carrying an assault rifle, he may have just been mistaken as part of a "protective detail" of the several agencies who were there to provide security.

"Russian News"? I saw that reported on BBC shortly after the shooting.
The Russian's had it down in 15 to 30 minutes after the shooting. Also
on thier news feed they were showing video our news did not.
And they anaylzed "The Assination Attempt" within 2 hours and
had the basics. The US Media and many others are wallowing in thier
disinformation/misinformation or "Bias" left or rigth still.

The Russian's almost immediately 1. Had the make of the rifle 2. The number of shots fired 3. The location of the shooter 3. The fact he was not professionally trained for if so, Trump would be dead 4. Major Break-down in Secret Service.

Howard Walther, member of a Military Family
I read this article by Mr. Buckley and the real title should be “Et tu Brute”
a famous statement from latin meaning “And you also Brutus?”
as Brutus with a group of Romans plunged their swords into
Julius Caesar in the “Final Act of Betrayal” against their leader.
This is EXACTLY what happened to former President Donald J. Trump
when he was elected and was President for four years. The
opposition inside and outside of the US Government
“Waged War” against the Acting President of the United States
to “Get Trump” In a long series of planned Betrayals against an Acting President
that has now resulted in “The First Assassination” attempt of Candidate and
Former President Trump.
The Secret Service main focus is Threat Detection, Mitigation and Analysis
as a “Protection Service.” See Link below for the NTAC
https://www.secretservice.gov/protection/ntac
Yesterday in Butler PA the Secret Service utterly failed their main function and failed to
Detect a Clear Threat Against the President of the United States.
One turn of Trumps head saved his life, not the Secret Service.
There are very, very serious problems that surrounds Former President Trump
and now that has again been clearly shown yesterday as follows:
1. The Secret Service did not secure the perimeter of the venue. 2. The Secret
Did not secure the ingress & egress of the perimeter 3. The Secret Service
had acquired “The Theart” late but then allowed “The Threat”
to execute it's planned assassination
There are only a few possible scenarios to explain the Secret Services (SS) utter failure
1. The SS did not have enough agents to Protect the President. 2. The SS Threat Detection
somehow “Broke Down” 3. The SS for “Other Reason's” failed to Protect Trump
The Bottom line here is if Trump had not turned his head just at the right time he
would be dead. “The Hate” statements, that have all been planned by the US Mainline Media
towards Trump and his family and the US Congresses “Hate Statements” towards Trump
and his family and many others is the direct result of Trumps Near Assassination.
There are very serious problems in the United States with few leaders to solve them.
Hatred towards anyone is a terrible thing. I, and my family know-first-hand what Hatred can do.

Blah Blah Blah! Sour grapes already? We've been run by traitors for the last 3 plus years get a grip!
Yeah right!! …. Wake up nut job from your delusional dream state.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful words I feel exactly the same - I was sitting in front of the tv
when Trump began his rally and was horrified - with phone calls from friends, we all were reminded of the attempt on Reagan and sadly the killing of President Kennedy. It has been a miserable night, just trying to put out of my mind any other worse possibilities. The week ahead will be a difficult one for all Americans - thanks again - I mostly do not comment, but very much enjoy all the writings.
It is 1963 all over again. They let the shooter take aim even though spectators report that they were pointing out the shooter to the agents and police before hand and they did nothing, they patiently waited until after he was allowed to fire, and only then did they take him out so he could not talk. Sound familiar?
Secret Service ineptitude or enablement?… don’t count on people like the Attorney General or the head of the FBI to answer that one. They have been focused on eliminating Trump in their own way for years. We are living in a time where possibly a majority of Americans believe that the same deep state took out JFK. The Secret Service is now headed by a woman whose prior job was security for PepsiCo. Her DEI hired agents were on display running around like scared chickens, trying to put a gun in the holster. This is the result of allowing the non elected bureaucrats in government to have so much power. The only one even remotely likely to rein them in is now missing a piece of his right ear.
Her job prior to leading Security at Pepsi was serving for the Secret Service for 27 years, rising to high-ranking positions such as Assistant Director of the Office of Protective Operations. So quit trying to down rate her history or job performance. It's kind of a slight like - the two lowest prestige docs are internal medicine and family practice. They keep trying to fight for who is not at the bottom - and all the other docs don't care. But at least most of these docs historically have been women.
Excellent collection of one man’s thoughts while experiencing yesterday’s assassination event…love the Henley’s ‘Invictus’ sentiment…brought to mind ‘If’ by Rudyard Kipling…

Pray for Trump…Pray for his family…Pray for Our Country
Last night’s assassination attempt was Deja vu all over again reminding Michele and me of the dismal evening in 1968 when one minute we were watching Robert Kennedy celebrate winning the CA primary and the next shot and left dying on the floor. His death changed the dynamic of the 1968 election. This time God seemed to raise up his hand and provide us with a miracle. A slight movement of his head saved his life. Will this miracle change the dynamic of this year’s campaign? I am not too optimistic, but it points out that voters are motivated by the angry rhetoric of our leaders not just to vote but to take violent action. I have seen enough political violence in my life time and will vote on the issues. I think there are enough sane people who see the need to course correct the country.
I wish I could say I’m surprised
OrangeManGood.
God bless America.
Not only good, _The_ best president we've ever had (exept for that genius George Washington)
My first thoughts were of his wife and children. Watching him grab his head and fall to the sound of pop-pop stunned me, but sadly did not surprise me after the attacks on his participation in social media, business, financial resources, reputation, family, and freedom, as his popularity increased the attacks were left with obvious lies---he is mean, a liar and so forth---failed...
Several troubling issues on multiple fronts. It was seem there was systemic failure on the part of the Secret Service.
It is my understanding Bennie Thompson, moron Congressman from Mississippi, tried to remove Trump’s protection from the SS some time ago. Clearly, there needs to be a Congressional investigation into this massive security breach.
Questions remain, how can a 20 year old loser, get so close to a former president and squeeze off multiple shots?
Being a gun owner and former Army Sargent, I am very concerned about long rifles with multiple/rapid fire capability, such as the AR-25. What if the sniper team consisted of 5 assassins? The 223 round is extremely high velocity and inherently dangerous. These type of weapons are classified by the military as “anti personnel “ and have one function.
The Democratic death cult needs to be held accountable for their vicious and malignant rhetoric directed at our former president.
Pay back needs to come at the ballot box and can’t happen fast enough!
Remember folks, if the Democrats can use our legal system to frame Trump and then flame hatred to the point a lone nut case attempts assassination, what chance does the rest of us have?
I was at the Senior Center Thrift Shop in Dripping Springs, Texas. My son called me and told to get home; someone had just attempted to kill Trump. I told the lady at the register that I had to leave because someone had just tried to kill the former President. She also became emotional and picked up her phone to see if the story was true. We briefly exchanged our reactions of shock and sadness before I hoofed it to the car and headed to my son’s home. My neighbor called and wanted to know what the hell was going on. She expressed a series of doubts because her social media feed had all sorts of contradictory, wild reports. I began getting similar texts from friends back in Santa Ynez.
When I arrived at the little homestead, my sone was stationed in my ADU answering questing from an old friend who works in entertainment in Los Angeles. A life long Democrat, our friend voted for Hillary in 2016 but chose to sit out the 2020 election as, while not yet a Republican, he no longer felt at home in the current Democrat party.
The three of us talked about what had happened for over an hour, and kicked around various scenarios and ‘what ifs’. We debated who should be the VP candidate in light of what had happened in Pennsylvania. Whoever Trump picks for the VP slot needs to be prepared to take the reins on day one should those who wish to destroy Trump are successful in any follow up attempts. My son likes Vivek, who I think is great but would be vulnerable to being played as Trump was during his first term. Our film friend likes Tulsi Gabbard. I like her too, and she brings a lot to the table but my first choice is JD Vance. He knows how the sausage is made but he is not part of the uni-party. Tulsi has similar bonfides but she won’t deliver Hawaii. Vance will deliver Ohio, although after what happened yesterday Ohio is likely going for Trump in a landslide.
Sorry for going off topic but I’m avoiding saying anything that relates to security failures, Secret Service DEI and/or corruption, comparing accused shooter to Lee Harvey Oswald, or do any speculating about this being an “inside job”. I am just responding to the author about how this news played out in my world.
I really appreciate Mr. Buckley sharing his personal experience following the murder of John Lennon. I was at home in Bakersfield ignoring my husband and his buddies watching Monday night football. When Howard Cosell came on screen and announced John Lennon had been shot and killed in front of his Dakota Apartment building I was paying full attention. I told everyone in the room it wasn’t true. I yelled profanities at Cosell, accusing him of not knowing ‘crap’ and demanding we find a real news report. This was long before we had internet of social media.
My reaction to watching, then re-watching many times, our former President react to the gunshots, then re-emerge looking strong and brave, I burst into tears. Every time the bastards land a blow on this man he becomes stronger. He is a once in 100 years type of leader. Invictus was the perfect poem to post with this article. Thank you.
Ben Carson for the win…plus, we’re going to need a good doc for the C19 recovery period…
Ben Carson and his wife's immediate comments after this event were 100% on point. No one should ever underestimate the mettle of this quietly spoken man. MY VP choice too.
Ben Carson as VP? Can you imagine him 'confronting' Putin and the other Commies who are out to kill us? Carson is the _last_ choice.
Have you seen him in congressional hearings. The guy is made of steel.
