Trump to release report on assassination attempts

 Trending Politics:

President Donald Trump has announced that he will be releasing reports on the assassination attempts against him, promising transparency regarding the attacks that nearly took his life during the 2024 presidential campaign. Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office, Trump expressed his frustration over the lack of information available to the public and vowed to release details soon.

“It’s been seven months. Why do you think we don’t know more about the guy who shot you in the ear?” Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Thursday.

“We can no longer blame Biden for that one,” Trump responded. “He should have released that a long time ago. So they are giving me a report next week sometime and I do believe I’ll be releasing. I want to release the report, a lot of people have asked that question.”

Trump was the target of two assassination attempts in 2024. The first occurred on July 13, 2024, at a campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, when Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old gunman, opened fire from an elevated position 400 feet away.

Trump was struck in the upper right ear, and one attendee was killed while two others sustained critical injuries. Secret Service counter-snipers responded within seconds, killing Crooks on the scene. A bipartisan Senate report later found that technical failures and security lapses contributed to the incident.

The second attempt happened on September 15, 2024, at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. A Secret Service agent spotted Ryan Wesley Routh, a suspect armed with a rifle concealed in the bushes near the golf course. The agent opened fire, prompting Routh to flee the scene before being captured while attempting to drive away. Routh has pleaded not guilty to the charges, with his preliminary trial scheduled for September 8, 2025.

I will be interested in finding out if others were behind the attempts on Trump's life.  I am particularly interested in whether any foreign government may have been involved in the shootings.  Current reports suggest the shooters were lone wolves.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...
