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.
Let’s recap:
Biden funds Iran.
Iran funds Islamic terrorism against Israel.
Israel faces worst terrorist attacks imaginable.
Kidnapping, rape, torture, and murder of Israeli women, children, babies, the elderly, and the disabled.
Biden makes unnecessary Israel trip.
Obstructing Israel’s response.
Israeli security forces have to divert resources to protect him.
Instead of hunting down Islamic terrorists.
And rescuing nearly 200 hostages.
After Iran-funded Hamas terrorists killed 1,300+ Israelis and 31 Americans.
Biden gives “humanitarian assistance” to Hamas-run Gaza.
Freeing up resources for more Hamas terrorism.
And relieving pressure on Hamas to free hostages.
Biden makes America special forces divert from their mission.
For a photo op.
Biden White House posts pictures.
Exposing their secret identities.
And putting their families in grave danger.
But no mean tweets.
Lebanon was the only Christian-majority nation in the Middle East.
It's where I was born.
We prided ourselves on inclusivity. Always welcoming Arab Muslim refugees from all over the Middle East.
We had the best economy despite having no natural oil. The best universities.
They called Beirut the "Paris of the Middle East" and the Mountains of Lebanon was a tourist destination.
My early childhood was idyllic, my father was a prosperous businessman in town and my mother was at home with me, an only child.
Slowly, the Arab Muslims began to become the majority in Lebanon and our rights began to wither away.
Soon, we would find ourselves unable to leave our small Christian town without fear of being stopped and killed by Arabs. In Lebanon your religion is on your government issued ID.
As the war intensified and the radical Islamists made their way south, my home was hit by an errant rocket and my life was forever changed.
We spent the next almost decade in a bomb shelter, scraping together pennies and eating dandelions and roots just to survive.
If it was not for Israel coming in and surrounding our town, I do not know If I would be here today.
Lebanon is now a country 100% controlled and run by Hezbollah. I lost my country of birth.
I thank God every single day I was able to immigrate to America and live out the dream that BILLIONS of people only dream of having.
Now here in America, my adopted country that I have come to love so much, I see the same threats and warning signs happening now that took place in Lebanon when I was a child.
This is my warning to you, America, reverse course now while you still can.
It's not too late to save our freedom and preserve it for the next generation.
Our world was at peace under President Trump.
His clear-eyed realism, raw projection of national strength, and his rejection of ideology in favor of pragmatism and national interest, brought us an unprecedented era of global harmony.
Whereas the DC set prattles on endlessly about the rules-based international order — the bloodless and esoteric obsession of the grad school credential class divorced from the iron laws of history — Trump understood the forces that shape world events: relationships, resources, rivalries, and the rational pursuit of self-interest and self-determination.
He understood you cannot impose an ideology over the essential nature of nation and man.
Instead of wasting away America’s diplomatic and financial assets trying to forcibly impose our values across the planet — which consistently yields the opposite effect — he focused on the formation of mutually-beneficial partnerships to foster global stability.
And he used our economic leverage as deterrence rather than fritter it away on nation building: knowing that a country which seeks to protect its own economic interests will always command more respect and find more common ground in its dealings with foreign powers.
Biden trashed it all. Set it all ablaze. His Administration’s toxic blend of idiocy, imbecility, incompetence and ideological extremism has turned calm into calamity. Peace into pandemonium. Harmony into hell.
The message sent and received by our our humiliation in Afghanistan, our cash bonfire in Ukraine, our internal repression as we preach “democracy,” our cultural self-flagellation, self-abasement and the self-annihilation of our own border, is that we are not a country to be taken seriously only taken advantage of. Over and over.
Under Biden, we are not a sovereign nation but a checkbook. A printing press. A mark. A punching bag. A sunken power. A spent power. A hollowed power. A rapidly declining power.
And as the torch of American liberty goes dark the world is lit instead by the fire of destruction.
Tucker Carlson explodes over liberal Letitia James persecuting Trump: "If you've ever wondered why it's taken you so long to figure out what's happening now in American politics, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. It's hard for most Americans to comprehend the total dishonesty of American liberalism. Virtually nothing the liberal says is true. And the lies are not ordinary lies. The lies are so brazen, so aggressive, and unending, that it's difficult for a normal person to understand what's happening.
"30 years ago, for example, liberals began to lecture us, softly at first, and then in an increasingly high volume, about tolerance. How could you have known then that they planned, in fact, to usher in the most intolerant age in American history? They've done that now, but few people saw it coming. We shouldn't make the same mistake again.
"Liberals are now telling us they plan to protect American democracy, and that's the clearest possible sign that they intend to end it. 13 months from this week, the United States will hold a national election. In a democracy, citizens can vote for the candidate of their choice. That's not just a feature. It's the defining fact of the electoral system. The people rule. They can send anyone they want to Washington because they're in charge.
"But this year, in the name of protecting democracy, liberals have decided to strip Donald Trump's name from the ballot. In states across the country, Trump is the front-runner in the presidential race. He's currently beating Joe Biden in the polls. Yet liberals have decided that you should not be allowed to elect him president. That's not democracy. It's the opposite. It's totalitarianism.
"Just this morning, Donald Trump appeared in court in New York in a civil case brought by the state's attorney general that was designed explicitly to keep him out of the White House. That case is part of a larger legal barrage against Trump that so far includes a total of 91 felony counts, every one of them politically motivated. But today's civil case is especially absurd. In fact, it's hard to overstate its ridiculousness in some.
"Trump stands accused of inflating the value of collateral used to secure loans, loans that he has already paid back with interest. In other words, there is no injured party in this case. The biggest banks in the world assessed the risk, and they made a profit, as they almost always do. Not a single person was defrauded for this non-crime. Trump and his children are in the process of losing their homes and their businesses.
"This is not a legal proceeding. This is a grotesque parody of the system that our forefathers created. The fairest in the world that in the year since has been seized by power worshippers like Arthur and Goren.
"This is a dangerous moment. Without a legitimate legal system, people will no longer follow the law, and the country will collapse. This is not about Trump. This is about preserving the United States of America. But Trump is at the center of the story."
The difference between @RonDeSantis and @realDonaldTrump.
Trump is currently in Iowa having a pizza party with everyday Americans who probably make less than $70,000 a year.
@RonDeSantis is currently in Houston, Texas at this $6.8 million mansion where couples had to spend at least $6,000 to meet him tonight. VIP tickets are upwards of $20,000.
DeSantis hides behind mansions and Trump makes himself accessible to the people.
This is why Trump is winning.
I HATE TO BREAK THE NEWS!
We are being Pimped out by Zelensky, Biden and everyone else sending Ukraine our MONEY!
We work hard and they use our Taxes to launder money and Zelensky is using our money to have dinner with celebrities
I’m not Pro Putin or Pro Zelensky,
I’m Pro not sending our money to another country!
Who’s with me ✋
Democrats dont even try to defend this Biden moment anymore. Story first broke years ago, and all the usual suspects pretended that “Biden was right to fire the prosecutor, Biden’s an anti-corruption crusader!” They lied.
Democrats say there's no evidence for Joe Biden’s impeachment. Here's some:
1. Putin’s billionaire buddy wired the Biden Family $3.5M, then they had dinner with Joe, and she’s off the sanctions list, TWICE
2. Joe flew Hunter to China and he came back with a bucket of cash and then Hunter told them to pay up or else and THEN Joe wrote the Chinese exec's daughter recommendations to get into Brown
3. They greased the regulatory process so the Chinese could buy an American car company
4. Hunter got a massive diamond that he lost and Joe went soft on the country that gave it to him
