Social media users took to X on Saturday after former President Trump survived an assassination attempt at an outdoor rally in rural Pennsylvania. The consensus is that this was the result of a massive Secret Service failure. Some, such as Sean Davis from The Federalist, are reporting that the Biden administration has been hamstringing Trump’s Secret Service detail by not giving it the resources necessary to keep the former president safe. Others are positing that something far more malevolent is going on. Here’s a roundup of the reporting and speculation on the incident that shook the nation.

Sean Davis:

BREAKING: A source familiar with Trump’s security detail tells @FDRLST that the former and future president’s detail has been asking for beefed up protection and resources for weeks, but has been rebuffed time and again by Biden’s DHS.

DHS, which oversees Secret Service protective detail “wasn’t responsive to those requests” for more resources, the source said.

Was Biden’s regime behind the attack, or did it deliberately do everything it could to allow it to happen?

Developing…

Dan Bongino seconded Sean’s reporting.

Here is what Ms. Cheatle has been prioritizing since becoming Secret Service Director.

Bongino also had this to say:

Actively communicating with a number of former colleagues from the Secret Service about the assassination attempt.
This is an obviously catastrophic failure and NO excuses should be made, or even attempted.
The failures are profound and questions must be answered about ground surveillance, air surveillance, post-stander support, and counter-sniper advance work and response.
We have ONE job, and we came within inches of a deadly failure today. An uneventful failure is NOT a success.

Here’s what James O’Keefe had to say:

DEVELOPING…Shooter found dead on rooftop with vantage point to stage.

Secret Service tasks counter assault teams to cover ALL vantage points — rooftops most obvious.

Counter assault teams are outsourced professionals. Unlikely they make these mistakes, even “B” team tasked to cover Trump.

Glaring error or intentional overlook. Confirmed with former CA team organizer and trainer.

While massive errors are possible, plausible intentional overlook of rooftop is more likely with CA team assignments given by SS. Who makes those possible? Deep State Intel Community?

Signal in bio… @OKeefeMedia

Meanwhile, an eyewitness tried to get the police’s attention and couldn’t believe what he was seeing:

James O’Keefe is reporting that heads are currently rolling at Secret Service:

Heads are currently rolling at US Secret Service. Internal investigation teams from DHS inbound intent on investigating USSS…

DEVELOPING…

If those reports are true, Elon Musk would apparently approve.

Elon was particularly incensed at the apparent security failure.

Here’s one more post for good measure.

Here is a satellite image of the situation that shows you just how bad the security failure was.

Even CNN’s very handsome woman was questioning the Secret Service’s failure.

If you will recall, low-IQ Bennie Thompson has been essentially conspiring to have President Trump assassinated using the legislative process by introducing a bill to strip the former president of Secret Service protection.

Here’s a closeup of low-IQ Bennie’s press release:

And here’s what low-IQ Bennie’s field director had to say about the assassination attempt, according to a report:

A field director for Congressman @BennieGThompson (who headed the Jan. 6th Commission & recently proposed legislation to remove Trump’s Secret Service detail), wishing Trump’s assassin had better aim on social media.

Justifying the assassination attempt.

Role with Congressman Thompson.

These posts have since been deleted from Ms. Marsaw’s Facebook account.

Rep. Bennie Thompson has caught the attention of Revolver News previously in his role as chairman of the January 6th Commission and chair of the Committee on Homeland Security from 2007 to 2011 and 2019 to 2023. If you will recall, the Department of Homeland Security oversees the United States Secret Service.

Revolver:

Meet Chairman Bennie Thompson

Much of MAGA’s antipathy for the January 6 commission has been trained on the vice chair of the January 6 Commission, Liz Cheney. And for good reason. Revolver has long argued that Liz Cheney is very much a driving force of the GOP coup against the America First movement.

But the limelight on Cheney has left in the dark the commission’s actual Chairman: Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Mississippi). And it is from Thompson we may be able to deduce the roadmap of the months ahead.

One option is that Chairman Thompson will pay nothing but lip-service to the concerns of reporters like Seth Abramson and Alan Feuer that the Commission has abandoned any grand collusion narrative involving Trump and his inner circle. If there is no evidence of collusion with Trump and his inner circle, Thompson might revise his bizarre neglect of Rhodes and focus on the leaders of militia groups as a consolation prize. A serious inquiry into Rhodes, however, risks blowing the entire government and media narrative out of the water. Indeed, it would risk turning the great 1/6 insurrection into another orchestrated Fed job like the recent “Michigan Kidnapping Plot,” in which a whopping 12 out of the 18 “plotters” have been revealed to be Feds and/or informants.

The most likely course, then, is that the Commission pays lip service to the fevered conspiracy that Trump’s inner circle colluded to sack the Capitol, and Rhodes will remain an untouched third rail. A brief review of Thompson’s history and biography suggests this maximally compliant approach will be the case.

Thompson is a key component in the establishment DNC’s merger with the national security state after 9/11, using the pretext of fake “domestic terrorism”. As an untouchable incumbent in Mississippi with 28 years in Congress, Thompson was the chair of the Homeland Security Committee from 2007-2011 and has been back in charge again since 2019.

Essentially, whenever Democrats have a majority in the House, Thompson is put in as the hatchet man to control oversight of the Department of Homeland Security.

Bennie Thompson scratches the back of an ever-expanding US national security state. In turn, Thompson is rewarded with plush committee chair roles and an expanding DHS turf of his own.

Indeed, Thompson was tapped to serve as the Permanent Chair of the 2020 Democratic National Convention. In the 2020 election, Thompson presided over all official business of the convention that made Joe Biden the Democratic nominee for President.

Ironically, in 2004, Thompson was one of only 31 House Democrats who voted to overturn the results of the Bush-Gore election. But today, the vast Department of Homeland Security agency reports to him. And that agency now calls anyone who claims fraud in the 2020 election “Potential Terror Threats.”

See how that works? When Bennie Thompson does it, it’s democracy. When you do it, it’s terrorism[.]

Decision By January 6th Commission to Ignore Oath Keeper Stewart Rhodes Just Unmasked Their Entire Investigation

S

Meanwhile, Rep. Mike Waltz of Florida is alleging that is alleging that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas himself has denied beefed-up security for President Trump multiple times.

Fox News:

“I have very reliable sources telling me there have been repeated requests for stronger secret service protection for President Trump. Denied by Secretary Mayorkas,” Waltz wrote on X.

The House Homeland Security Committee is planning on investigating reports that Trump was denied stronger Secret Service protection before the rally, a source told Fox News Digital.

“The Committee has seen these reports, as well, and are going to be conducting thorough oversight into what happened both leading up to and in the immediate aftermath of the attempted assassination of President Trump. Obviously, such reports are deeply troubling and demand investigation,” the source said.

One thing is for certain in the wake of this near-tragedy: the American people need answers, and they need them now.
