ERRATA:

— Fixed date 🤦

You also stated that the shooter was closer than 360 to 393 feet from the podium. That was about the distance - 130 yards or about 390 feet.

Expand full comment

Evidence we will probably never know ,( from the feds anyway ). Trajectory lines from PDJT'S ear back to point of origin, ( infinity ). Wonder if it goes to the shooters position on the roof or the next closest window in the next warehouse back. There is already private analysis of shot sound signatures - 3 differing patterns - Crooks?, ???, Counter sniper kill shot? Fed confirmation - I doubt it, they'll spin it! How many casings found at suspect location ( is possible that some rolled off that damn steep roof angle ), but casings can be matched to the rifle, which - where is the rifle, you know, rifling comparison to recovered slug maybe, how many rounds gone outa the clip ( subjective to if it was fully loaded ), speaking of casings, they are stamped with manufactor info, lot #,s?, wonder if the casings will match to bullet ( fragments ) possibly recovered? Different lots/manufacturer, different metals compositions. Saw a picture of dead suspect laying on that damn steep roof, looks like a deep gouge wound right side of head ( just my opinion from a poor photo ) ,bring to rear or rear to front - hot from behind??? Now how could it be from behind?? The wound line looks ( dependent on that damn steep roof line, to be on a near level trajectory line.

Oh, the questions!

also, the CNN story wasn't "scrubbed / can't find it anywhere / memory holed":

jeff, for years, coffee & covid has been about holding MSM to higher standards, looking at real scientific data (not CDC spin doctors)... but ever since the election cycle started, you've been more than a bit sloppy.

Good catch. Hoping Jeff will add this to the errata, and maybe explain how he was unable to find it. (I'm quite willing to believe it was at least shuffled off the front page, but who knows whether to hide it for a particular reason, or just because they still don't want "trump shooting" to be in the minds of their readers?)

I was also going to point out the mistake about the distance, if someone else hadn't got to it first. Charitably, I assume Jeff was confused between 130 *yards* / 125 meters, and 390 *feet* - most of the reporting I've seen gives the distance in yards or meters.

The deep state is exposed like they never have been before at this moment...

They expected Trump's brains to be splattered on live 4K Ultra High Definition live TV with tens of thousands seeing it in person. They expected things to be thrown into complete turmoil and utter chaos. They expected people to panic and stampede causing more death and a mass casualty event. Then they expected to scurry away in that chaos.

Instead, the hand of God reached down and turned President Trump's head at the exact nanosecond when needed. Trump rose triumphantly and defiantly, and assured the crowd he was okay. None of what the deep state planned happened.

Now they are caught with their pants down as none of the chaos, death, and rioting they were counting on to cover their tracks happened. Add to that an army of really smart people collecting and analyzing all of the evidence in real time, making dozens of copies, and disseminating it so it can't be purged. There is no way they can pull off a Warren Commission-style whitewash at this point. The head of the Secret Service is bumbling around with transparent, clumsy lies that would embarrass a four year old. They are caught completely flat-footed.

Folks, if you don't believe in Divine intervention at this point maybe it's time you started.

You are absolutely right, they will try. But this isn't 1964 and there are already independent forensic reconstructions out there by really smart people. They can't put the genie back in the bottle. Plus they needed the chaos to cause the metaphoric fog of war to get away with it. It didn't happen.

What was truly beautiful that day when I watched it an hour later (I sleep during the day as I work nights) was the almost complete calm of the people gathered there that night. Outside of a few screams, most likely from folks who watched loved ones be shot and killed or seriously injured, the people there exhibited a truly remarkable display of self control and concern for each other and their nominee. It was beautiful to behold.

Intruth- In seeing it over again I’m afraid it is this age of social media that took over people. They were more concerned with seeing whats going on and recording it than protecting themselves. I’m not sure if that is good or bad but I definitely see it as our times. Also, the gun shots did not stop and then continue again. Or continue with rampage like some of the mass shooters who walk around killing people.

Expand full comment

Normally I would agree with the social media recording, but in this case, there is now undeniable evidence from many points-of-view to flesh out a broader narrative, which makes it more difficult for those who are, right now, attempting to create a cover up.

Or emotionally resilient. I’ve had a gun in my face multiple times during the course of a robbery and, while I wasn’t shot thank goodness, i could have been yet I didn’t fall apart and cry hysterically about my plight. I was angry that someone would stick a loaded gun in my face for a stupid bottle of cough syrup is what I was. You can either be destroyed by these people or you can have a reasonable response and move on. Calm, reasoned action is the response of a person who wishes to remain sane in a crazy world. To dehumanize people because they remained calm is disgusting. (I’m referring not to your comment but to the below one saying they weren’t human.) Seriously?

Fascinating take....I really hope that's right. I hope this is finally enough to expose them. We need to take down the people in our communities that are saying things like "too bad he missed".

Yeah I can think of no other reason for CNN, who refused to even quote his speeches because they were dangerous misinformation, to “all of a sudden” want to broadcast a rally live on CNN other than the deep state ordered them to be there to record history “accurately “ so as not to rely on FOX news or cell phone coverage. They took their marching orders, no doubt confused as to why, and then spent the first ten minutes saying things like Trump fell and the secret service interrupted the event for some reason. Then they were confused for some reason when people started screaming obscenities at them for their constant lies about what a dangerous inhuman Hitler Trump is, which is why dipshits like Mr Crooks do the things they do.

As a former military officer and Joint Planner, my instinct is that we have to ask "What's next?" and "Then what?"

What's next? Between now and November 5th, another/more attempt(s), probably. Getting DJT off the platform is essential because a reckoning is coming for them if they don't. DJT's VP pick will guard somewhat against that if the attempt is successful, but I too believe that the Lord God hears our prayers and is on the move, therefore the attempts won't be successful.

Then what? Will there be a reverse of the strategy and will Biden or Harris be targeted? God forbid, but it's been done before, successfully, so it is something that needs to be considered in case the servants of evil decide to go this route - they are backed into the corner now, and Biden never was their candidate of choice for '24.

Coincidentally, Oswald's killer and fellow CIA asset Jack Ruby (born Jack Rubenstein) was visited by CIA psychiatrist Dr. Jolly West in his cell just before the appeal ordered 2nd trial.

Dr. West had spent his career experimenting with LSD as a truth serum, and at one time massively overdosed an OKC zoo elephant to death.

West declared Ruby had had a massive psychotic break in his presence, and Ruby never spoke again, although Ruby had spoken to many others right up until that night.

Interestingly, Dr. West would later go on to oversee the CIA's Operation Midnight Climax (another MK ULTRA program) in which they operated a prostitution house in Haight Ashbury, where they secretly administered LSD to johns and filmed their behavior.

Expand full comment

Thanks for sharing the link! HOW I wish John Rich would have stuck to his wonderful Revelation song and how it came about... He could have taken a standing ovation and gone out with a bang, UNFORTUNTELY he decided to give Tucker a teaching on the Rapture & the Antichrist...

I am not an expert on either topic, but one thing I do KNOW... the Bible clearly mentions the Antichrist, which John Rich stated that it doesn't...

He also said the Bible doesn't mention the word "Rapture" in English... which is correct, however it is translated to the term "caught up" (1Thessalonians 4:17) the Greek word is "harpaso" translated to "Rapturo" in Latin, which is where we get Rapture from.

I love how much scripture John Rich read out loud to Tucker, but he mixes up the Rapture scriptures with Jesus' Second Coming, two separate and different events. It normally would not bother me that he gets it wrong, only that he is teaching it to someone else incorrectly... Someone like Tucker, who seems to have no idea of the wealth of God's mysteries found in the Scriptures.

I went to a Trump rally in Arizona, and umbrellas were not allowed. They were allowed at this rally.

I was watching on RSBN and RAV and comments were made that maybe the security relented because of the heat.

Sure that's a nice gesture, but what about all those umbrellas at BLM-Antifa protests? I'm glad attendees in PA could have a little shade, and it doesn't appear that umbrellas there were used to hide bad guys, but was it worth the risk? Even President Trump doesn't get an umbrella or any kind of shade up there on the platform. (Granted the rallygoers are there for hours longer...)

God bless Anne, don't waste your time arguing with demons. Christ Himself told us to not cast our pearls before swine.

What people haven't quite absorbed is that this was a split-second in time that changed the world. In the deep state scenario, the right is now leaderless, our side is utterly despondent and at their wits end, people are rioting in the streets, the county is tearing itself apart, and they slip away.

Instead, the opposite has happened. Trump is more beloved than ever, appears to be unstoppable, and instead of rioting, people on the right are energized and meticulously dissecting every aspect of this satanic sanctioned hit. Every day the deep state exposes itself more with lies more absurd than the last one.

I told a string of lies when my mom saw me playing at home with this shiny new car that she had just told me a half hour before I couldn't have. I told her I found it; she wanted me to show here where. I took her up the block to my friend's house to show her "the place"; she rang the doorbell and asked my friend's mom if she'd ever seen the car before, and the lady replied no. When I finally admitted I stole it, Mom drove me back to the store and made me give it back to the manager of the store. She didn't ground me - the triple humiliation was enough of a punishment. I never shoplifted again.

Just once I'd like to see these liars have to undergo the same humiliation. It's obvious they weren't raised by moms like mine...

Your mom did the exact right thing. We still laugh with my son because he was horrified when he and a friend were throwing rocks over the neighbors house…8-10yr olds…just to see if they could make it. 🤦🏼‍♀️ One big rock broke out their window. Utter silence and a pact to never tell. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Well one talked to a brother and the story made it to us parents. We marched the boys over to the house where they fessed up to doing it, then lying about it, then they paid to have it replaced out of their own money. The punishment was that and the fact the old crotchety lady who was a smoker and smelled like a chimney forced a hug to each of them. 😂 They were so grossed out. Clean slate ever since.

And YES! I would love just once to see these liars face actual consequences and have to admit what they did.

Not sure which film to which you are referring. I thought his "Eyes Wide Shut " was a truly bizarre film, but it's what got him killed, because I later found out, and rewatched , that this movie is an accurate portrayal of cabal ceremonies and rituals. Too close to home for them.

Most of the controversy/conspiracy revolves around The Shining and 2001:A Space Odyssey, believe it or not.

Let me try again.

I have seen Clockwork Orange (shudder) and Eyes Wide Shut (creepy), 2001: A Space Odyssey (long time ago now), parts of Dr Strangelove, The Shining.

Not sure where the faked moon landing connection controversy started but here's a taste of what Brave Browser search engine came up with.

https://search.brave.com/search?q=stanley+kubrick+moon+landing&source=desktop&summary=1&summary_og=4cda1ec3774f571abe6bb1

There's never been a Stanley Kubrick movie that I have seen that I could say I enjoyed.

But I did enjoy Hidden Figures enough to purchase it.

Expand full comment

Thanks, now I know not to trust Brave. (My favorite alternate search engine is freespoke.)

The stupid summary Brave gave ignored the undebunkable: The kid in "The Shining" wore a handknit sweater with "Apollo 11" on it, for no discernable reason - and Kubrick always had a reason for the things he put in his scenes. There is also an overhead shot in that movie that supposedly looks like a launch pad.

But in general people think Kubrick faked the moon landing scenes because they know he could have done a very realistic job. I tend to believe he DIDN'T do it because there would have been a lot fewer errors like rocks casting double shadows, the shadowside of the lander having a lot of light, the horizon always ending 100 feet out and such. He probably could have made the moonwalks look more realistic. It's pretty apparent that they simply slowed down the videos to 1/2 or 2/3 speed, but they were in 1 G, not 1/6 G.

I wouldn't be surprised if NASA asked him to direct the shots of men walking on the moon, but he refused.

Actually no... the engines don't boost the whole way there, just at the beginning and end. Most of it is just coasting because there's no friction in space. So the fuel is mainly required just to get into orbit in the first place.

I liked what Jeff wrote: "A political party is not a church." I would add it's also not a religion. Neither are political ideologies, though many want to wear them that way.

Unlike the Dems, the GOP is not openly hateful of religion, which is probably why all sorts of religious people are now drawn to it. They feel more welcome. Christians have seen that for a long time b/c they've been in the government's crosshairs for a long time. Some of the others, I think, are seeing it now with the trans agenda. Once you start openly saying you'd like to castrate other peoples' kids without their knowledge or consent, it feels like some important universal religious line has been crossed.

As long as the new people are coming in as the ones whose views have changed and are not coming in to change the views of those already there, I am fine with it. More than fine, actually. I like it. It's a good sign of life for a party that was dead to the world just 9 years ago. I know Jeff didn't like Harmeet's song, but as they panned the camera around the crowd, I saw a lot of people praying in their own way along with her. I can't see how that's a bad thing.

IDK, this feels like the most energy I've seen at an RNC convention, probably ever.

Expand full comment

I actually watched most of it. The only weird part was when Nikki Haley spoke. I just don't like her. Trump almost pulled a Hindenbiden and nodded off. Not kidding. I'm like NOOOOOOOO. Ha. DeSantis did a good job and Ben Carson used his diaphragm and his voice came out pretty strong. There was a Black lady from Brooklyn who once she warmed up she was lit.

Expand full comment

I watched most of it as well. Trump looks tired. Could be pain meds, though, considering he just got shot in the head. On night 1 he looked especially tired or disinterested. Night 2 he looked more engaged and relaxed. I didn't notice him during Haley's speech.

Haley's speech was...odd. You could tell they don't really like each other. But, under the circumstances, I thought she did well. She will speak more to the neocon/war-lover faction.

I've been critical of DeSantis and still have my reservations, but I thought he was a highlight. Absolutely nailed his speech. Good energy and some great zingers against Biden that had substance.

The black lady from NY (not sure if it's the same one you mentioned) was also great. Once she got going, it was powerful. You can tell she's still mad about what the regime did to her. As were the others that also delivered what I'd call victim impact statements, being victims of the regime's policies. They were all pretty moving.

I rarely watch these conferences. They're usually boring and kind of cringe-worthy. But, there seems to be a ton of energy at this one.

Expand full comment

It's funny, because I don't mind people like Amber Rose and Harmeet Dhillon(sp?) and think Matt Walsh is acting like a putz (kinda disappointed, tbh) but I really wish they would show Haley, Graham, Romney and all the rest of the warmongers the door. They shouldn't be in the new party. Their beliefs align more with the DNC.

Expand full comment

Walsh was too harsh, IMO. (He who has no sin...) Maybe Amber is growing up.

Who they give speaking time to can be a signal for where they're going. I have started to think about it like change management at a very large company. It has to be done in stages over time. Even the bad actors have loyalists working in important roles. Feels like that is what's happening. No clue if it will be successful.

Expand full comment

Agreed - out with the old. The new party needs to be for the middle class populist crowd all the way.

I think having Haley up to speak was an overture of unity from Trump, to traditionally establishment voters. "This is *our* party now, but you can still be in it if you get behind us. And look carefully at what the alternative is..."

Frankly, for as pro-life as I am, I could care less about this as an issue on the ballot. It's the LAST issue I vote on. For a lot of the left, it's the first and only issue they vote on.

I am disappointed about the abortion stance being watered down, but I also wonder if politics is the best venue to oppose abortion (I mean how much do we really trust most politicians).

Muslims don’t have shared beliefs. They reject the concepts of the Trinity and Incarnation. Allah chooses from day to day what reality is and what constitutes goodness.

Shared beliefs is used to mean belief in one Deity and in Heaven and Hell. But the only guaranteed way for a man to reach Paradise is by dying while waging jihad. Which is a sin for everyone else. The only guaranteed way for a woman to reach Paradise is for her husband to be satisfied with her at the time of her death. Others may enter Paradise at Allah’s pleasure.

No idea who he is, but was interesting to me to see how the buildings are laid out, where the lines of sight are, etc. (Also glad he pointed out that a hydraulic arm of the machine holding the lights got shot out and started spraying fluid. In one of the videos I could see what looked like a hose spraying and was wondering what the heck it was.)

I’m inclined to think the doughnut excuse would have been better than the sloped roof excuse. I’ve always heard that the SS agents are obligated to literally take a bullet for those they are protecting. Doesn’t really mesh well will them being afraid to stand on a sloped roof, but we all know how much law enforcement loves doughnuts.😊 Also, the sniper team that took out the shooter was also on a sloped roof so that dog doesn’t really hunt anyway.

It amazes me how little self-awareness Democrats have. If I was in her position I would resign and go into hiding, possibly forever because this will go down as not only the biggest Secret Service failure (will memes living on forever about their Keystone Cop antics), but maybe the biggest law enforcement failure ever. Yet she gives interviews and will appear before Congress, without bowing her head in shame!

I believe Jeff did a review of this trial. Someone can correct me if I am remembering incorrectly…

1-The 28 charges were literally “Trumped up” misdemeanors charged as felonies.

2-Jurors were allowed to pick and choose which charges they thought were proven. There was essentially no definition of any “felony.” So the 12 cafeteria-style jurors likely selected all charges to come up with 28.

3-there were so many grounds for appeal that occurred that this is being appealed. Attorneys make notes during the trial of what will be appealed.

Thought about this just the other day. Kucinich was considered a left-wing radical. Now, he'd be called "far right." All of Trump's positions just 30 years ago were mainstream (D) positions.

I think it's fine - and actually really good - if the new people joining have had their eyes opened to problems with leftist ideas and the people joining the party are the ones changing. I think the party needs to have a steady set of values. Life, liberty, pursuit, free from gov't intrusion, etc.

Of course, one could also argue the party's lost its way in the recent past (DHS, Patriot Act, Iraq war, on and on), before any of this influx of new people. And it was effectively dead in the public's eye before Trump brought it back to life. As usual, no simple or easy answers.

Expand full comment

Maybe we're confusing "the Party" with the "politicians" who often have their own agendas?

Expand full comment

I see it as...the parties are just private companies owned by a small number of individuals with their own agenda. The party is comprised of the politicians within it. And led by some based on their agenda. There's nothing sacred about political parties, and they do change over time. Sometimes disappearing completely when the voters no longer see their value prop as relevant.

I think the core issue is that the parties are supposed to have BROAD overarching ideological bents that then need to be translated into specific policies and goals at a given moment in time.

E.g., many would say "limited government" is a GOP party core value. But, what does "limited gov't" mean in practice? It certainly didn't (and doesn't) mean small or un-intrusive government to the Bushes, Cheneys, McConnells, Grahams, or probably 85% of elected Republicans. It's just a slogan to them. To most, it seems to only mean lower marginal tax rates, while gov't size, spending, and power all increase. Is that in line with the party's ideology? Is it in line with the voters' view of the party's ideology?

I think what the ascension of Trump really means is that the people who vote (R) have decided it doesn't and that the party had lost its way and needed to be reoriented.

Also ask yourself why it happened before Trump declared his VP pick. Once that choice was made, it would have been nearly impossible to change the heir apparent if the hit had been successful.

I'm not saying Haley had anything to do with it, but that those who would benefit from Trump's demise like her and hate Vance. In the alternate timeline, Trump dies with no VP named. We go into the convention without a leader and Haley gets the nomination since she stayed in the campaign the longest. She also happens to be a neocon warmonger.

That's why Trump named Vance and moved the announcement up to Monday IMO.

At the end of the day, I want a political party that will protect my right to think what I want to think and say what I want to say. As long as there are no fidelity pledges requiring me to praise tattoos (I hate them) and I can still make the case that killing babies is bad, and traditional marriage is the best environment in which to raise human beings and ensure a future civilization, I'm good. I used to vote solely on the issue of abortion but as that has been essentially defanged as a political issue, I now vote on free speech. Whichever party promotes and protects THAT has my vote.

Yes. Check out some of the laws in England and you will see what I mean. A woman was arrested because she was standing outside an abortion facility saying prayers "in her head." That is no longer allowed there. A literal "thought crime."

We have decided we cannot in good conscience vote in The presidential election this year. We cannot vote for any person that is ok with continuing sacrifices to the gods Molech and Baal. We’re just going to write in Yeshua Hamashiach. That will not violate our belief system and ultimately, the Lord will place the next person who will orchestrate His will. We know we are in the end times,,, one world globalism/economy/religion is coming soon.

Purity is impossible. I can pick out flaws in every single person that complains about new supporters of Trump. You need to stop. Your negativity spreads like cancer. While we might not choose the lifestyle of new Trump supporters you need to embrace the positive aspects of someone from the other side coming to our side because they have been enlightened. Nobody is perfect so we need to stop judging others while pretending we are.

Welcome to all new Trump supporters!

Never have been a liberal so apparently I have no heart 😆

I actually think the liberals just have a superficial and pretend heart, they’re like parents who never want to punish their kids or deny them anything because they don’t want to be “‘mean” but ultimately, they do their kids a huge disservice. Liberals are about feel good “solutions” that seem great on the surface, but end up causing more damage rather than doing anything to help solve problems.

And let us not forget the disastrous WMD hoax that got us into a tragic war that still haunts us today. I used to listen to a noncommercial radio station in New York, back when liberals were actually anti-war. I heard you UN chief weapons inspector, Scott Ritter in lengthy interviews with Amy Goodman, explaining that there were no WMDs and Iraq at that time, and that the proclaimed basis for going to or with Iraq was completely bogus. He also said that we would pay a terrible price for destabilizing the region. His comments have aged incredibly well. And now that same radio station has been captured and is gun ho on the proxy war in Ukraine. Things do change.

YES! For heaven’s sake you aren’t marrying these people. Love your neighbor as yourself. Love is what will change hearts and minds. And it is not my heart and mind I want to win anyone over to. Ultimately it is to the heart and mind of Christ. But getting someone to step away from hate, globalism and divisiveness surely can’t be done with hate, exclusion and decisiveness.

Greg Koukl from Stand to Reason Ministries (STR.org) says something to the effect that, "Even God catches His fish before He cleans them." This is said in a religious context, of course.

People hold our pasts against us, even Christians. Jesus doesnt, as He sees our heart. But it is harder for humans to let the past go and believe a person.

Generally, people dont change, (oddly enough). So when one DOES change, it isnt easily believed. It's nothing personal.

I learned something about Matt Walch: he is quite pious in his remarks about Amber Rose.

Clearly he missed the part in the bible where Mary Magdalene was a woman if ill repute before finding Christ.

I take someone like Amber Rose becoming red pilled as a fantastic step in waking blacks up about their virtual serfdom on the Democrat plantation.

Sorry, Matt, but you dropped several level in my eyes.

Interestingly, there is NO reference in Scripture that ever says Mary Magdalene was a "woman of ill repute." Jesus cast demons out of her and she became a faithful follower. She was a woman of means who helped support His ministry, but the false teaching that she was a prostitute traces back to a homily given on Sept. 14, 1591, by Pope Gregory the Great in Rome. Sadly, many people believe that to this day.

Expand full comment

Goes back way further than that.

I named my youngest child - and only daughter - after her ("Madeleine Grace".)

As a teen she asked me why I named her after a rumored prostitute.

I told her that Mary Magdalene was proof that we are all sinners who are nonetheless loved by God. Even more so when we repent and turn back to Him.

"Therefore, stand firm, brethren, and hold fast to the traditions that you have been taught, whether by word of mouth or by a letter of ours." 2 Thess. 2:15

Expand full comment

I believe that "traditionally", Mary Magdalene has been also identified with the "sinful woman" who poured perfume on Jesus' feet, though nothing in the Bible makes this connection. There's just the "seven demons were cast out" comment, with no further detail. For that reason, I understand most scholars support your view (that she was a woman of means who supported Jesus).

Expand full comment

I never said prostitute.

I'll repute can mean promiscuous. Adulterous.

Agreed - calling sin, sin is necessary, but judging sinners is God's undelegated role. I will forgive Matt Walsh, and I think I understand his underlying concern that the Republican Party is being co-opted by amoral factions. However, the answer is to pray for steadfastness, and to use persuasive arguments, not denigrate and belittle new converts.

Expand full comment

I can appreciate people who are concerned that inviting "someone like that" is an endorsement of their lifestyle or past actions. But I didn't see any of that in her speech (and in fact I didn't even know the context of what she was "famous" for until afterwards). IMO, don't criticize people for something until they ACTUALLY DO IT. (In this case, "it" would be if she gave a speech advocating for pro-sex-work or something - which she didn't.)
