Getting to a Trump rally that was scheduled is one thing, being within shooting distance of an unscheduled golf outingi?

Hey now. ;)

Apparently the FBI is investigating the latest assassination attempt ... Even some in the liberal media have growing questions and concerns.

Check of suspect's phone indicated he was at the golf course location at 2:00 AM to spend the next 12 hours undetected.

How did he know when Trump was going to play golf at least 12 hours in advance?

"... cell phone data that suggests Routh had been 'in the vicinity' of the golf course for roughly 12 hours, from 1:59 a.m. ET to about 1:31 p.m. ET, when the agent noticed the rifle through the fence." - https://www.npr.org/2024/09/16/nx-s...sassination-attempt-suspect-ryan-wesley-routh

At 6:00 minute of hearing regarding Secret Service protective detail of Trump, "System ... did not work ... System is just broken ..."

Is the latest assassination attempt on Trump "secondary symptom" of a growing UNDERLYING issue of "hate crime" being seeded by foreign entities? ... Are citizens of this country being intentionally "fractured" to be at odds at each other? ;) Maybe by foreign entities like Iran, Hamas and/or others? ;) Perhaps a better approach to this issue is to focus more on underlying cause instead of just addressing the "secondary symptoms"?

At
7:15 minute of hearing, this possible underlying cause is discussed ... Interesting intentional "fracturing" of American citizens to fight each other, even to the point of killing. ;)

At
38:30 minute of hearing, underlying intentional "fracturing" of American citizens outlined.

At
44:20 minute of hearing, "covert operations" by foreign entities/actors mentioned engaged in misinformation campaigns to influence US elections and financing state actors/social media through "shell companies" to influence press and public.

Senate Homeland Security Government Affairs Committee report details "preventable" Secret Service failures

Report Finds Key Failures by Secret Service in Security Planning, Communications and Coordination - https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/media/...assination-attempt-on-former-president-trump/

Full Text of the Report is Available HERE
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Gary Peters (D-MI) and Rand Paul (R-KY), Chairman and Ranking Member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Ron Johnson, (R-WI), Chairman and Ranking Member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, released a bipartisan interim report on the U.S. Secret Service’s (USSS) security planning, communications and coordination failures that contributed to the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald. J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. The interim report includes key findings and recommendations to address those failures and ensure the Secret Service can effectively carry out its protective mission.​
“From planning missteps, to the siloed and flawed communication to the lack of effective coordination between law enforcement, to the breakdowns in technology, the Secret Service’s failures that allowed an assassination attempt on former President Trump at his July 13 rally were shocking, unacceptable, and preventable – and they led to tragic consequences,” said Chairman Peters. “Moving forward, our bipartisan interim report makes recommendations for needed reforms to address these serious failures, provide accountability and transparency for the American people, and ensure that the Secret Service has the tools and resources they need to prevent another disaster like this from happening.”​
“Our initial findings clearly show a series of multiple failures of the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) and an inexcusable dereliction of duty,” said Ranking Member Paul. “Not only did USSS fail to ensure the AGR roof was adequately covered, they were also aware of a suspicious individual with a rangefinder for at least 27 minutes and did not delay proceedings or remove former President Trump from the stage, even after being informed that the suspicious individual was on the roof of the AGR building. Someone needs to be held accountable for these egregious failures by the USSS, and despite USSS, DHS, FBI, ATF, and other federal agencies’ continued obstruction of our bipartisan investigation, I will continue to push for answers and accountability.”​
“What happened on July 13 was an accumulation of errors that produced a perfect storm of stunning failure,” said Chairman Blumenthal. “It was a tragedy and completely preventable from the outset. There was both a failure to provide resources – like a working radio, drone detection system, or counter surveillance team – and lack of an effective chain of command. Looking forward, we need structural reform in the agency itself. The Secret Service is filled with dedicated and skilled men and women who serve our country at great risk to themselves and personal sacrifice, and they deserve better leadership. Today’s report is only an interim step, and I look forward to our continuing pursuit of evidence to help understand what went so catastrophically wrong and how we can prevent an event like this from ever happening again.”​
“Shortly after the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt on former President Trump in Butler, PA, I released preliminary findingsdetailing some of the significant security failures that occurred on that day,” said Ranking Member Johnson. “Today’s interim report expands on those security failures, but the investigation is not complete. Federal agencies like the Secret Service, FBI, and DOJ continue to withhold records that are vital to this Committee’s work. There is still much more information that the public and Congress deserve to know. Going forward, this Committee must be prepared to use compulsory process to ensure that the American people have a complete and thorough understanding of the security failures that resulted in the multiple attempts on former President Trump’s life.”​

Hawley Goes Public with Details from Conversation with Secret Service Director Rowe: "Stonewalling Must Stop" - https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawle...service-director-rowe-stonewalling-must-stop/

Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) released the following statements following a phone call he had with Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe earlier today:​
  • “I just had an extraordinary conversation with Director Rowe at the Secret Service, who called me personally to dispute a whistleblower allegation—but refuses to respond in writing. Just as he has declined to respond substantively to ANY of the whistleblowers’ allegations.
  • “Rowe complained about whistleblowers & complained about requests for information based on whistleblower reports. I informed him it is his JOB to provide the facts to the public & Congress. Stonewalling must stop. And I reminded him whistleblowers are *protected under federal law.*
  • “I emphasized to Rowe that it is indefensible that his agency has not cooperated fully with congressional investigators – to the point that today the Homeland Security Committee again adopted my legislation to COMPEL Secret Service & DHS to cooperate.
  • “The Interim Report today from the Homeland Security Committee details multiple leadership failures at USSS – including evidence that Rowe gave misleading testimony to Congress in July. There must be accountability.”
Today’s conversation with Acting Director Rowe comes after Senator Hawley revealed his latest whistleblower allegation just yesterday, detailing the Secret Service’s refusal to provide former President Donald Trump with the resources and manpower needed for a rally in Wisconsin—effectively forcing his campaign to cancel the event.​
Today the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC) also unanimously passed Senator Hawley’s legislation requiring the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to submit to HSGAC any and all information in the possession of DHS and the Secret Service pertaining to both the July 13 and September 15 assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump.​

Word is, they've had a known Iranian cruising the country for some weeks, trying to hire assassins to take out Trump without interference.
It's also being reported that there are at least seven more assassination teams in the wings

Is the latest assassination attempt on Trump ... by foreign entities? ... like Iran?

"covert operations" by foreign entities ... to influence US elections
Influence election by "eliminating" a presidential candidate? ;)

Trump warned of alleged Iranian assassination threat

U.S. intelligence officials have warned former President Donald Trump and his campaign of renewed threats and assassination plots against him from Iran. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled new economic proposals in her fourth trip to western Pennsylvania since launching her campaign.​

Kamala FINALLY might be forced to visit the border for more than a photo op?
Do you think that the reporters will cover the tens of thousands of folks that are being lured in to the US for a false offer of long-term government assistance and legislation that will lead to US citizenship?
No.
We all know that most of these 'migrants' are at least a generation away from citizenship - and the government assistance will dry up shortly after the election, leading to a series of very politically useful riots shortly thereafter.
That's why they're still being labelled 'migrants', as they will then be told to just keep migrating.
Hope you've got your popcorn popper ready to go...

Roll, Tide!
Let's show Trump a good game!!

Anyway, the Democrats are now paying the price for using Kamala as an insurance policy to protect Biden's presidency.
She was the person that no one wanted in that office - and now she's the only possible candidate...

Possible third assassination attempt (That we know of/told publicly ;)) foiled by Riverside County Sheriff Department.

"Vem Miller" who may be part of "Sovereign Citizens" claimed to be member of press with fake credentials had handmade "license plate" on his vehicle which was not registered, had multiple fake IDs/passports under different names, printed email directing him to the event with fake VIP pass and armed with loaded pistol and shotgun was stopped by Sheriff Department deputies at check point outside of rally who are cooperating with Secret Service and FBI investigations - https://www.riversidesheriff.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=5898

On Saturday, October 12, 2024, at 4:59 p.m., deputies assigned to former President Donald Trump’s rally in the Coachella Valley contacted the driver of a black SUV at a checkpoint at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive. The male driver, identified as Vem Miller, a 49-year-old resident of Las Vegas, was found to be illegally in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine. Miller was taken into custody without incident and later booked at the John J. Benoit Detention Center for possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine. This incident did not impact the safety of former President Trump or attendees of the event.​
Anyone with information on this case is encouraged to call Deputy Coronado at the Palm Desert Sheriff’s Station by calling (760) 836–1600.​

Trump Rally Arrest Press Conference and Q&A with reporters


From the press conference - https://www.foxla.com/news/vem-miller-las-vegas-man-arrested-trump-coachella-rally

Miller was taken into custody for possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine. He was booked and ... released with ... court ... date ... Jan. 2, 2025 ...​
"There is absolutely no way that any of us are going to truly know what was in his head," Bianco said ...​
... Bianco declined to speculate about the suspect’s motives or frame of mind. "We know we prevented something bad from happening, and it was irrelevant what that bad was going to be," ... The sheriff went into further detail about the "sovereign citizens" group to which Miller allegedly belonged ...​
... Media members, as well as VIP ticket holders, were routed through a number of intersections manned by state and local law enforcement officers before arriving at a large, grassy area where drivers were asked to open hoods and trunks, and each vehicle was searched by a K-9 officer. Other general ticket holders were directed to a site roughly 3 miles away from the rally, where they were boarded onto buses and driven to the site.​

Iran ... Assassination Plot - https://time.com/7013497/donald-trump-iran-assassination-plot/
  • Asif Merchant was arrested on July 12 ... according to an FBI affidavit ... he had come to America to arrange the assassination of “a political person.” - https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1362846/dl?inline
  • ... identity of that person was not explicitly stated, either by Merchant or by his handler in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to a leaked document that was posted online by U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley on Sept. 5 ... provided to him by a whistleblower
  • ... documents all but confirm that Donald Trump was the person Merchant was authorized to offer up to $1 million to kill.
  • ... Merchant described remotely scouting a Trump rally, then sending a written report on event security—how many guards, how many body scanners—back to Tehran. In secretly recorded meetings described by the FBI after his arrest, Merchant “games out the assassination” with the informant.
  • ... The plan he details involved a crowd, a staged demonstration intended to serve as a distraction, a target at a podium, and “security all around.”

While Vem Miller "explains" that his presence at the rally was not an "assassination attempt", he does not explain why he drove an unregistered SUV without license plate (Had handmade license plate) with multiple fake IDs/passports which obviously would trigger police caution, especially after mentioning he had loaded pistol/shotgun in the SUV.

He violated CA laws by illegally importing larger than 10 round capacity magazine from Nevada and also violated firearm transportation laws by carrying loaded Glock pistol in the "trunk" of SUV (CA law requires firearms to be transported "unloaded" with loaded magazine removed from the pistol and "unloaded" pistol inside a locked container) - https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/travel

He was driving into a Trump rally with two prior assassination attempts so the security detail would be very sensitive to anything out of ordinary ... What was he thinking? His video sounds like an advertisement for what the Rumble channel does and finally gets to the details of events at 38:00 minute of video.

Could this have been a PR stunt to advertise his news outlet channel on Rumble? ;) https://rumble.com/c/AMERICAHAPPENS Looks like his "America Happens" YT channel has been inactive since 8 years ago with hardly any views.
