“The Pentagon announced on Monday that 'additional' service members would be deployed to join the 40,000 already stationed in the region along with a dozen warships and fighter jet squadrons.”

Additional troops? Warships? Fighter squadrons?

But Kamala assured me that there were no U.S. troops deployed anywhere in the world in a combat zone. Not a single one.

I’m shocked.

Interesting our DOJ just put a $150,000 bounty on Trump's head by releasing a letter from the second assassin.

Wonder if our resident leftists will blame Trump's rhetoric for the offer not being higher.

And just how would Routh be able to pay $150,000 to another assassin? He’ll be in jail for a long time, by the time Routh gets out Trump will have died of old age.

FullMoon said...

So, anyway, another phone solicitor. Guy's speech actually seems American
So, I ask:

Parlez-vous français ?
uh, no

Parli Italiano?
uh, no

Took a chance, plenty of Spanish speakers:
Habla usted espanol?
No

Sprechen Sie Deutsch?
Dutch?! A little, oh, this is hard, ...

And, he starts, hesitantly, speaking Dutch(?)

Caught me by surprise, so I just said No, and hung up.

I remember some high school and neighborhood Spanish, must have learned others from movies or tv.

FullMoon said...

Janet Jackson in a lot of trouble for being politically ignorant, like average normal person. Life was more simple in those old days, wasn't it?

Maynard said...

There will be at least one more (likely failed) assassin seeking to end Donald Trump's presidential candidacy. My guess is explosives this time.

He/She/It will be funded by a secret Act Blue account found on the dark web. It is called the "Save our Democracy" account.

Way to deliberately miss the point.

The question you should be asking is why the DOJ released the letter.

Now both Putin AND Zelensky are endorsing Kamala. Somewhere in there is some logic I am not privy to.

P-Inga employing her self-touted mindreading "skills" again...the way a psychotic person does.

Breezy said...

Putin and Harris are two peas in a pod. Both communists. Plus, as she reminds us all the time, she’s not Trump. And that’s why Putin prefers her.

Narayanan said...

are there clues in letter where to find the cache of cash?

Jay said...

Russia is a petrostate. Biden-Harris pushing up the price of oil doubled Putin's war chest. He is really hoping the dems are stupid enough to keep pushing green.

Inga said...

Neither Putin nor Harris are communists. Putin actually prefers Trump because he can have Trump stand up on a stage next to him and have Trump do his bidding against Trump’s own country, like he did in Helsinki.

Putin is an authoritarian, but he is a capitalist.

Jaq said...

Israel is taking advantage of the fact that the "Dr Jill" is now effectively the US President, and nobody, even in our own government, is afraid of her outside of her personal staff.

We will see what happens if they get their longed for war with Iran.

Jaq said...

It's pretty funny that Putin gave hundreds of millions to Hillary Clinton's "Foundation," probably so that she could hand out the sweet no-show jobs to the people whose palms she needed to grease in order to hand Putin ownership of most of North America's uranium.

Remember when we caught that group of Russia spies who were involved in shipping North American uranium, and they had gotten close to Hillary, who was Secretary of State, and she immediately had them deported, before they could be questioned, and not even trading them for anybody we wanted?

Good times... good times.

Jaq said...

It's not treason to want to avoid needless wars with countries who have 6,000 nuclear weapons. I know that people here like to peddle the domino theory, well, 50,000 young American men had their lives needlessly cut short over the "domino theory" and many more were grievously wounded, some suffering their wounds to this day, decades later.

No matter what the "cruel neutrality" mystery is about "who will Althouse vote for????", she's sleeping with a Trump voter. It's probably why she doesn't vote.

Eva Marie said...

Since the first attempt on President Trump’s life, Democrats have called him a coward. Now after the 2nd attempt, they’re calling him a chicken (for not agreeing to a second debate). Who do they think this strategy is going to appeal to? Disgusting to the nth degree.

Inga said...

So, once again, why would releasing the letter by the DOJ with the offer of $150,000 to kill Trump, make someone kill Trump for the money Routh offered? If someone wanted to kill Trump for money, I seriously doubt they would do it for $150,000 from someone who will be sitting in jail for years to come and probably doesn't have $50, much less $150, 000?

"BREAKING: The Kamala Harris/Joe Biden Department of Justice and FBI are mishandling and downplaying the second assassination attempt on my life since July.

Someone has to get his meds increased. You thought DARK BRANDON was bad, this guy is a walking nitwit...Former President Donald Trump made a glaring mistake in a new digital ad campaign targeted at Republican voters in Georgia, using imagery from the wrong Georgia, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"ATTENTION GEORGIA: I'm humbling asking you to stop what you're doing and check your voter registration status," said the ad, which is as of press time is still reportedly running for certain Facebook users in Georgia. "Only a handful of votes will decide this election. We can stop inflation, secure our borders, lower taxes, and make America Great Again!" The message is accompanied by an image of a vast, meadowed mountain range, overlaid with the words "REGISTER TO VOTE FOR TRUMP. CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION" which links to a registration portal.
The problem, pointed out AJC, is that this mountain range is not in Georgia — at least, not Georgia the U.S. state. According to Shutterstock image data, it's from Georgia, the former Soviet republic located in the Caucasus, at the intersection of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. Did you see his response on how he's going to specifically cut prices? He makes Brandon look like a college Professor! Put a net on this fella he is getting worse by the day.

“The Republican Party has morphed into something incredibly dangerous.” — Ken Burns longs for the return of a Liz Cheney-led GOP, slams MAGA:

“Abraham Lincoln is turning over in his grave” — the GOP needs to “leave the MAGA base behind.”

Burns fails to mentions that there is only one party radicalizing assass*ns to take out their opposition political leader, and it’s not the GOP — but of course that doesn’t qualify as "incredibly dangerous” to Burns.

Bottom line — the Cheney/Bush GOP is what's being left behind; and that’s what Burns and the DC establishment they can’t handle.

Twenty eight percent of Democrats surveyed admit the nation would be better off if Trump were assassinated.

And some people think nobody - not a single person in the DOJ - might harbor those same thoughts.

Others may question why that same DOJ would put a bounty on his head by releasing that document.

And nobody can come up with an explanation of why they did.

It's not my job to convince you people want him dead. It's your job to convince me you don't.

"Democrats impeached Trump for suggesting to Zelenskyy that if the Biden family were engaging in corrupt practices in Ukraine, we’d like to know about it in this country, but using him as a campaign tool is A-OK with the left.
A week after a radical Democrat absolutely dedicated to dumping endless money into Ukraine plotted to murder Donald Trump, the Biden/Harris administration flew Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the swing state of Pennsylvania to “visit a weapons factory” so he could “thank” the workers there.
There could be no clearer use of federal government resources for a presidential campaign than if Kamala Harris started renting out the Lincoln Bedroom like the Clintons did. Only in this case, both sides would be prostitutes."

David Sacks is absolutely right about this. The rhetoric of Democrats and the media is putting Trump’s life in danger

“Let’s look at the rhetoric that Ryan Routh was literally quoting on his X. He was saying that Trump was an existential threat to democracy. He was quoting what Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the mainstream media have been saying chapter and verse. If you want to ascribe motivation there, where did Routh get these ideas?”

“They’ve been endlessly amplified by the mainstream media, and it’s not like a one-off comment. It’s been the central narrative for the last several years that somehow Trump represents this existential threat to democracy, and one way or another, that threat must be eliminated. Ryan Routh simply took literally what the mainstream media has been saying.”

.“When you call the guy Hitler for years and again, you create billions of impressions around that, and it’s not like a one-off statement, but it’s something that is drummed into the public over and over again. It seems like to me you are asking for trouble.”

gadfly said...

The phone that Ryan Routh had on his person while surveilling the Trump golf course was one for which he had posted a WhatsApp number while Asif Merchant, charged in an attempt to recruit hitmen to target Trump, was still at large on July 10. Merchant, a Pakistani with ties to Iran, was offering up to a $1M payment. Routh had no money to pay an assassin, but he also offered large payment amounts. Both men are locked up awaiting the completion of FBI investigations for presentation to federal grand juries.

The note that Routh left in his neighbor's mailbox read:

"I am man enough to say that I misjudged and made a terrible mistake and Iran I apologize. You are free to assassinate Trump as well as me for that error in judgment and the dismantling of the deal."

Iran’s leaders have been vowing to kill Trump for years, since he ordered the January 2020 death of Gen. Qasem Soleimani.

"One of the most preposterous recent trends has been the political use of supposed expert letters and declarations of support from so-called “authorities.”

FCC Fast-tracks Soros' bid to dominate the airwaves

"
Last week, the FCC adopted an order to approve his purchase of more than 200 radio stations in 40 markets just weeks before the presidential election.

The stations reach more than 165 million Americans, and staff at the FCC are concerned that the move is politically motivated.

The commission's three democrats voted for the move, while the two republicans voted against it.

Under existing FCC rules, foreign company ownership of U.S radio stations is not supposed to exceed 25%. 

Soros took foreign investment to make his bid and then filed a request for the commission to make an exception to the usual review process.


The decision to fast-track the approval process bypassed a national security review, which could have taken up to a year to complete.
