Once again, we're obsessed with the most recent assassination attempt on President Trump. John Solomon at JTN, Trump dodges another gunman, unbowed but grounded: 'Not going to deter me' "Being president “is a very dangerous profession. … I can’t imagine that there is any profession that is more dangerous.”" Atop Da Hill, Secret Service ‘needs to reconsider’ Trump-Vance joint appearances after WHCA gala shooting: McCaul. PJM's Cathy Salgado hears Charges Against Cole Allen in Attempted Assassination of Trump and Trump Backs Secret Service but Allows That Extra Training May Be Necessary. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair say Let's Face It: This Was An Abject Security Failure. Again; UPDATE: Johnson Demands, 'Tighten Up'. Rep. Perry to Newsmax: Attack on Trump an 'Abject Failure' of Secret Service. Kennedy @KennedyNation, "We changed hotels at the last minute yesterday, and booked a room at the Hilton at 3p. I was never asked for a key, but could’ve produced one from a different city. Also never asked for ID, and waltzed through the lobby and lower ballroom areas like I owned the place. Only saw one LE dog by the red carpet, which also had surprisingly lax security. Having been to this event several times as early as 1995, this was probably the least security I’ve encountered. Thank God everyone is safe!" Quote Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_, "My thoughts on the security at the WHCD last night. The first exterior security for me was on the street outside of the hotel. I flashed my ticket and was waved through in one second. My name was not checked against any list, I showed no ID, I was not patted down and did not go through a metal detector. I probably could have shown a ticket from a prior year or a fake one as they barely looked at it. (I don't know who that exterior security was, they were guys in suits)..." Jack Posobiec @JackPosobiec, "The biggest problem to prosecuting Cole Alan isn’t the evidence, it’s the fact that the DC jury pool would agree with his manifesto They’d just be upset he failed." Ace, When the Bullets Stopped Flying, Alcoholic "Journalist" Karens Focused On What Really Matters, and Looted 147 Wine Bottles from the Venue, "Incredible. Give yourselves all a media award for Stunning Bravery." On Gutfeld last night, Kennedy admitted to taking 3 bottles of champaign, saying it was the network that paid for the booze. At Althouse, "The WHCD Viral ‘Salad Eater’ Is Wolf Blitzer’s Agent.". "Wow, that's one of my favorite headlines ever. In New York Magazine, here.Context: "The man filmed casually eating a salad as everyone else ducked for cover after shots rang out at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is speaking out. CAA Agent Michael Glantz told TMZ that he never felt unsafe at the event, and remained seated and eating because he wanted to see how law enforcement responded. 'Not every day you see something like that go down,' he said. Glantz was at the dinner because he is CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer’s agent.""

‘Pretending Not to Know’ what motivated the shooter. "
“His beliefs mirrored mainstream Democrat talking points” — in other words, he was radicalized not by some obscure fringe website, but by what every Democrat with access to a microphone or a camera has been saying publicly ever since Trump beat Hillary nearly 10 years ago." James Woods
@RealJamesWoods, "
For the record he’s not that stupid, of course, be he revels in the comfort of knowing his constituents are." Quote New York Post @nypost, "Ex-President Barack Obama claims 'we don't know' WHCD gunman's motives - despite raving anti-Trump manifesto https://trib.al/phZQa4M."
Mehek Cooke @MehekCooke, "
Obama is a liar. He says "we don't know the motive" but the shooter left a manifesto targeting Trump and officials. Democrats know violent rhetoric has consequences and voters will punish it. This isn't waiting for facts. This is political cover. Truth with

Batya Ungar-Sargon @bungarsargon, "
The NYT and President Obama are pretending the WHCD gunman didn't leave a manifesto because the manifesto is indistinguishable from how they talk about Trump. Political violence is not equally distributed. The bullets are only flying in one direction, and it's Left to Right."

Karoline Levitt Calls Dems Out By Name Nick Sortor @nicksortor, "
HOLY CRAP! Karoline Leavitt is calling out Democrats BY NAME who SPARKED the rhetoric leading to Saturday's attempt on President Trump's life "Rep Hakeem Jeffrey just THIS MONTH said, 'we are in an era of maximum warfare everywhere all the time.'" "Governor Josh Shapiro said heads need to roll within the administration." "Senator Alex Padilla said people are DYING because of fear and terror caused by the Trump administration." "Senator Elizabeth Warren: President Trump is making the country look like a 'FASCIST STATE'" "Senator Adam Schiff saying President Trump using a dictator playbook" Senator Ed Markey calling President Trump a dictator, saying that this administration's actions are authoritarism on STEROIDS" "Governor JB Pritzker: 'Never before in my life have I called for mass protest disruptions. These Republicans cannot know a MOMENT of peace.'" "Rep. Pressley saying we'll see you in the streets." Monica M McIver, a Democrat representative on Capitol Hill, we will "not take this sh*t from Donald Trump. He thinks he's a DICTATOR. We are at WAR!"

Nailed it: "The Democratic Party has created monsters among them. Democrats need to come to terms with what they have produced... "The right has its own version of this derangement effect, not to diminish this being a problem on both sides. But while the right’s problem is in the fringe, the left’s version is in the mainstream."" Quote Marina Medvin @MarinaMedvin, "I’ve read Cole Allen’s tweets and his statement. The most interesting part about his language and choice of words is that it’s generally indistinguishable from most liberal social medial accounts belonging to Democrat voters in America."
Congressman Greg Steube @RepGregSteube, "
Making light of another assassination attempt on a President by our local Democrat Party is as disgraceful as it is unsurprising. This is exactly the kind of rhetoric that contributes to a climate where these attacks continue to happen, and frankly, it’s why my staff and I take security in our district so seriously. I receive dozens of threats every single day, and this kind of behavior only makes that reality worse. It’s deeply disappointing to see this coming from people in our own community. I pray they find the decency and clarity to reject this kind of hatred and choose a better path forward. From Shooting News Week,

The whole point of taking a vote and having an election is to prevent violence. Leftists are sore losers who have decided they will reject any outcome and escalate to violence if they cannot rig the process in their favor." Quote Fugitive Caesar @ThomBrady5 "when Democrats lose elections, they declare the election was illegitimate and Democrats start rioting, assassinating Republicans. This is untenable and cannot be tolerated. Our government doesn't work if one side refuses to share power and resources according to elections. x.com/ThomBrady5/sta…" Ace,

DRIVE-BY MEDIA: The NYT published a 'bombshell' story that Trump awarded a secret no-bid contract to fix the fountains in Lafayette Park to the firm building the White House ballroom. The only problem? It wasn't secret, it was offered to EVERY eligible contractor, only one could complete the work by the July 4th, and Trump had nothing to do with the National Park Service's contracting process.

People ask: How can we help? How do we know if we’re making a difference? Here’s how —> and here’s proof. When Americans flood PERM job postings with real applications, it forces companies to admit the truth: They’re not short on talent. They’re not desperate for foreign labor. They’re overwhelmed with qualified Americans. This tweet is their confession. They call it a “DDoS attack.” We call it accountability. Because when the system has to respond to hundreds of qualified Americans, the fake shortage collapses. So what can you do? 1. Expose Hidden PERM Jobs

The ‘shift’ grift: WaPo playing framing games to spew same old anti-Trump spin as ever. "I mean, take this latest piece on Trump’s idea to buy bankrupt Spirit Airlines, framed neatly around Republican backlash. See, they are pitching it like “no it’s not us, it’s Republicans who object!” And sure, that’s true enough. Many do and with good reason. But folks, that ain’t the WaPo’s reason. Their reason is the same as always: hurt Republicans, hurt Trump. They just have a new strategy."

Bill Maher drags his woke guest out of his liberal bubble and tells him to his face he’s why Kamala Harris lost.

Cross replied: “Yep,” as if it’s completely normal and something society should embrace. That’s when Maher dropped the hammer and told him straight up that no, somebody’s doing something to that little girl...“You’re just why she lost. Because America hears this, and they’re going to go, ‘Bill’s right. Eight-year-olds can’t really make decisions on their own like this.’ That’s what most people are going to say.”"

Hearing a lot of variations on this theme lately. Seems to boil down to women within institutions policing process, where men demanded results. Frankly, looking back over 40-odd years, sounds kinda familiar." Quote Karoline Gosling @KarolineGosling "Germany was ruined because Germany listened to women too much. I am a German woman, I live here. I often hear Germany used to be so great, strong and beauitful? Today I do not see this anymore. The men have become weak and subservient to women. The women have become masculine and lost all femininty. It is not pretty anymore. LGBTQ? Mass Immigration? Islam? Great!! This all started because men tried to be nice and listened to women. But it destroyed Europe. If the West, Europe or Germany wants to become great again, we need to not let women rule society."
