A View from the Beach: Flotsam and Jetsam

Posted on by Vaseline

So, yeah, we’re still talking about the second attempt on Donald Trump’s life in
this election season. Have we really come to this? AP,
Trump was the subject of an apparent assassination attempt at his Florida
golf club, the FBI says. Sundance at CTH, UPDATE – President Trump is OKAY – FBI: “Attempted Assassination” Shots Fired
Near President Trump at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach
and
Sheriff, Secret Service and FBI Provide Details on Second “Assassination
Attempt” of President Trump. “I would note the nervousness of the FBI agent in charge.” Nick Arama at
RedState, Press Conference Reveals Key Details in Second Trump Assassination Attempt. Insty, REPORT:
Shots fired near Donald Trump as he leaves his Florida golf club. “UPDATE: An account bearing the name of Ryan Routh was
suspended early this evening
by Twitter, but note
this tweet
from March 4th, 2020. Dan Chaitin at Da Wire has the first report I know of that
the shooter actually fired shots, Palm Beach Shooter Was Targeting Trump, Exchanged Gunfire With Secret
Service. Althouse,
“Donald Trump has survived ‘what appears to be an assassination attempt’
after shots were fired at one of his golf courses in Florida, the FBI has
said….”  Live Updates at CNN, September 15, 2024: Apparent Trump assassination attempt. 

Joseph Weber at JTN, What is known about alleged shooter in foiled Trump assassination
attempt. At Twitchy,
Second Trump Shooter Has Been Identified (And We THINK We Have His
Socials). From Fox, Suspect ‘Ryan Routh’ in custody following second assassination attempt on
Trump at Florida golf club. Insty, WELL, OKAY THEN: Daily Mail US@DailyMail, “Son of alleged would-be assassin says his dad hates Trump like ‘all
reasonable people’ but he’s never owned a gun and wouldn’t do anything bats***
crazy https://trib.al/FM9DTyC.”
“Democrats and the media fomented that hatred, even while inveighing against
“hate speech,” “misinformation,” and “stochastic terrorism.””

NewsWeek, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden Respond to Shooting Near Donald Trump  “Trump wrote in a statement released by his campaign on Sunday, “I AM
SAFE AND WELL! Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will
always love you for supporting me. Unity. Peace. Make America Great Again.”
  At PJM, Dan Bongino Predicted Another Assassination Attempt on Trump Would
Happen. Twitchy, In the Wake of Second Attempted Trump Shooting, a Video Emerges of Kamala
Making a Sick Joke

And, YOU OWN THIS: Kamala Harris Gets WRECKED Following Second Assassination
Attempt on Donald Trump. End Wokeness@EndWokeness, “You called him a threat to democracy and a day 1 dictator. You own
this.” Victor Davis Hanson VDHanson, “The Deadly Get Trump Climate Continues…. Just two months after the failed
Trump assassination attempt of one Thomas Matthew Crooks, we witnessed today yet
another foiled one by Ryan Wesley Routh—a would-be assassin and
anti-Trump/radical pro-Ukraine War social media addict. Somehow he too once
again got within relatively easy shooting range of ex-President Trump. Is there
a continued pattern here of lax Trump Secret Service protection, coupled with a
general social media and televised climate that equates Trump with Hitler and
lowers the bar of the assassination? . . .” At What, Dr. Rollergator, PhD
explains
Stochastic Terrorism – A game of rhetorical asymmetry
“The history and function of the increasingly common phrase explained.” Matt
Vespa at TownHall, The Liberal Media Reaction to This Second Trump Assassination Attempt Is
What You’d Expect. Curtis Houck@CurtisHouck, “WATCH: MSNBC’s Alex Witt argues *the Trump campaign* needs to turn down
the rhetoric now that Donald Trump has been shot at for the second time in three
months. “Do you expect there to be calls from within the Trump campaign to (tone
it down)?” Elise Jordan replies she hopes Trump makes this “a unity-type”
inflection point, but fears he won’t do it.” Rachel Vindman@natsechobbyist, “No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon.”

Election Wizard@ElectionWiz, “BREAKING — Erik Prince, founder of the private security firm
Blackwater, calls on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to immediately assume control
of the investigation into the second Trump assassination attempt. He adds, “The
Feds have dropped the ball thoroughly on Butler PA. Time for Florida to save the
day…” Paula Bolyard at PJM, DeSantis Takes Matters Into His Own Hands on Assassination Attempt.

And, of course, we’re still not done with fallout from the July 13th attempt.
Nick Arama at RedState,
Bombshell Report: Cover-Up and Disturbing Info About Agent in Charge During
Assassination Attempt. “Now, there’s another bombshell that was just delivered from Sen. Josh
Hawley (R-MO) on Jesse Watters’ show. Hawley has been in contact with
whistleblowers, and they told him that the lead Secret Service agent who had
been in charge that day in Butler, Pennsylvania, failed one or more of her
training exams and was “known not to be a top quality agent.”” I hope she’s
assigned to Harris’ detail after the election.

Benny Johnson@bennyjohnson, “BREAKING: ABC News Whistleblower
Affidavit alleging that Kamala Harris was given an unfair advantage in her
debate with Donald Trump has been released H/T
@DocNetyoutube” Liz Stauffer at WaEx,
First the pundits reacted to the debate. Then the people weighed in. Scott Pinsker at PJM,
ABC News Is Perplexed: Why Isn’t Kamala Harris Getting a Post-Debate Bounce?
The Answer Is…
“the obvious implication: The media must’ve helped Kamala that much… because she
needed the help. Clearly, she can’t do it on her own.” Althouse,
“Vote preferences haven’t moved meaningfully…. Each is within a percentage
point of its pre-debate level in ABC/Ipsos polling.”
“I’m reading
“Harris seen as debate winner while maintaining slight lead over Trump:
POLL/Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Harris shows little impact, the poll
found”
(ABC News).” At Hat Hair, Skeptical Face On: Harris Gains Bigly In Latest Iowa Poll
 Sundance,
Compare and Contrast – Trump and Harris Both Asked the Exact Same Question. Sarah Arnold at TownHall thinks
Trump Had the Perfect Response to People Saying He Was ‘Angry’ at the
Debate
“’I was angry, and yes, I am angry because she allowed 21 million illegal aliens
invading our communities. Many of them are criminals,” he said. “I’m angry about
Venezuelan gangs taking over Aurora, Colorado, and illegal Haitian migrants
taking over Springfield, Ohio. I’m angry about young American girls being raped
and sodomized by savage criminal aliens. I’m angry about rampant inflation
destroying our Middle Class—and the American people are angry too!” At Am Great
Roger Kimball  On Truth and Lie in an Extramoral Sense. “The debate last week on ABC was, from one point of view, a dog’s breakfast,
but, from another, it was a mesmerizing exercise in vertiginous,
pseudo-Nietzschean legerdemain.”  Reuters whines
Voters narrowly support Trump’s debate tariff pitch, Reuters/Ipsos poll
finds. It’s only “narrowly” when it goes Republican’s way. NewsMax,
Voters Narrowly Support Trump’s Tariff Pitch, Reuters/Ipsos Poll Finds. Da Mail,
J.D. Vance hints at tension between him and Donald Trump: ‘I’ve learned my
lesson’, “Trump broke with his running mate on the issue of abortion at Tuesday’s
debate”. The Peacock, ‘I don’t like those comments’: Vance responds to Laura Loomer’s attack on
Harris’ Indian heritage. At Hat Hair, ABC Must Be Feeling the Heat: Martha Radditz Obliterates MA Gov.

Andrew Surabian@Surabees “”Blood and soil” The @nytimes has now stooped to essentially calling

Twitchy, FATALITY! JD Vance Takes ZERO Prisoners OWNING Dana Bash During Back and
Forth on Springfield, OH (Watch). Matt Vespa notes CNN Actually Did Its Job and Slammed Kamala for Lying About Trump. CNN, Fact check: Harris campaign social media account has repeatedly deceived with misleading edits and captions. Collin Rugg@CollinRugg, “NEW: Kamala Harris has completely changed her position on the 2nd Amendment in less than 72 hours. During the debate on Tuesday, Kamala Harris blasted Trump after he said she wanted to take people’s firearms away. Harris told Trump to “stop lying” and said she wasn’t going to take “anybody’s” firearms away. Less than 72 hours later during an interview with ABC News, Harris revealed she *does* support taking people’s firearms away, announcing her plan for an “assault weapon” ban. Harris has also voiced her support for mandatory buybacks in the past.”

Fox, Cats and dogs aside, Biden-Harris unleashed disaster on Springfield. “Diabolically mismanaged refugee plan renders hometown unrecognizable to
longtime residents.” Insty, MATT VESPA:
The Left Is Powerless in Stopping the Haitians Eating Pets Story…And It’s
Amazing to Watch. “I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, though in this instance, it’s not a
statement regarding some appalling examples of liberal media bias. For the
Ohio Haitians ‘eating the pets’ story, it’s pure entertainment, maybe a touch
of schadenfreude: the liberal media is being tortured in their attempt to
neutralize the story. Contrary to the establishment press, this story hasn’t
been debunked. There’s no way within 48-72 hours that authorities can verify
dogs and cats are not being eaten by the tens of thousands of Haitians in
Springfield, Ohio. . . . Christopher Rufo goes in search of:
The Cat Eaters of Ohio. “So, is there any truth to the charge? We have conducted an exclusive
investigation that reveals that, yes, in fact, some migrants in Ohio appear to
have been “eating the cats,” though not exactly in the manner that Trump
described. . . Related:
Trump Promises Mass Deportation of Springfield, Ohio Immigrants If
Elected. Christopher F. Rufo@realchrisrufo, “CBS News has published a response to the “Cat Eaters of Ohio” story. It’s
a supremely dishonest and completely partisan report, but let’s break it down,
to show exactly how the establishment media maintains its lines of propaganda.
. . . What did CBS not do? Journalism. The network, which has massive
resources, did not send a reporter to the scene, interview the eyewitness,
interview the neighbors, investigate the visual evidence, conduct background
research, or provide a detailed analysis. They simply adopted “don’t believe
your lying eyes” as their standard and repeated an empty, evidence-free
statement from a partisan political figure.” At Da Caller, ‘Criminally Liable’: Springfield Residents Know Exactly Who To Blame For

At WaEx, Luna accuses Democratic opponent of allowing supporters to dox and threaten
her. Rep.
Anna Paulina Luna. (R-FL) is accusing her
congressional
opponent, Whitney Fox, of allowing her supporters “to publicly dox,
coordinate, and solicit individuals to send threatening packages to my home
address.” The congresswoman noted what appears to be a
Facebook
comment that reads: “If she is ‘hiding,’ I know where she lives if anyone is
interested in sending her a love letter or……something. She dwells riiiiiight
around the corner.” Luna has reported the harassment to local authorities and
the FBI.

 
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh “To be clear – this is not only a threat to democracy but is the sort of
thing to be expected in 3rd world countries, not a technologically advanced and
wealthy Republic. We need to get back to election DAY not election
WEEK.” Quote Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh, “NEW YORK TIMES: “It is
becoming increasingly likely that there will be no clear and immediate winner on
election night and that early returns could give a false impression of who will
ultimately prevail.” “If a winner is not declared on election night, it will not
necessarily . . . ” Plenty of time to screw with the vote.
Beege Welborn at Hat Hair comments
“Reject the pre-planned excuses out of hand. If FL, the third largest state in
the union, can get it all done in a couple of hours, there is ZERO excuse for
anyone else. Git ‘er done.” Da Feds Shawn Fleetwood reports a

Charlotte Hazard at JTN reports  GOP fights to keep House majority as election nears despite division, struggling to pass agenda. “A disagreement currently going on in the GOP-majority House is funding the government using continuing resolutions. While members of the Freedom Caucus are refusing to cooperate, moderate Republicans seems willing to work on it.”
