Questions about the attempted assignation of Trump

 Stephen Kruiser:

...

We have had little in the way of answers explaining how a lunatic kid was able to saunter up onto a rooftop and attempt to murder the former President of the United States of America. True, the rarest of rare things did follow the assassination attempt — a bureaucrat was forced to resign — but that was more of a smoke screen than anything else.

The story we're being told is that the Secret Service was plagued by a bout of incompetence after an extraordinary, lengthy run of doing its job exceedingly well.

As far as I am concerned, that doesn't pass the smell test.

The Executive Branch of the United States government under Joe Biden has been very focused on destroying Donald Trump. Since 2020, we live in a world of tinfoil hats, so it's not ridiculous to wonder if one of its agencies might have deliberately shirked its duties to put Trump in peril. In fact, that's easier for me to believe than the idea that one of the few government agencies that does its job well suddenly turned into a bunch of incompetent buffoons.

I write that as someone who typically expects those who work for government agencies to not do their jobs well.

For the longest time, the Democrats have been fond of blaming "rhetoric" for violence in the world. They even went through the motions of pretending that they'd tone it down when speaking of Donald Trump. As Catherine writes in a recent VIP post, that promise never came close to being kept.


Donald Trump is still a target because the Left wants him to be a target. There has been nothing to indicate that the alleged incompetence that allowed a disturbed young man to take a shot at Trump won't happen again.

The Democrats fear Trump's return to the presidency more than they fear anything else. In the last few years, we've seen them go to extremes to achieve their political goals.

It's not a stretch to say that there are more extreme extremes for them to explore between now and November.
...

The Secret Service is accused of several mistakes leading up to this event.  They were supposed to have people on the roof that the shooter used for his attack.  Instead, they were in the building because it was "too hot" on the roof.

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.

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

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
