Secret Service 'Report' on Butler a Big Nothing Did you know that the Secret Service screwed up in Butler on July 13th? Who knew? I didn't. Did you? Secret Service Director is speaking to the media at a press conference about a new 5-page interim report on the Butler, PA assassination attempt on President Trump. What did we learn? Secret Service procedures didn't work and they need a "new paradigm." Whoa! Who could have guessed?

Why Is Jill Running the First Biden Cabinet Meeting in Nearly a Year? After Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, it wasn't just his campaign that came to a halt — the illusion that he was running the country evaporated as well. Instead of governing, he spent more time at the beach than in the White House. The façade that Joe Biden is still in charge took another blow on Friday during the first cabinet meeting in nearly a year, where a visibly exhausted Biden made brief remarks before passing control of the meeting to his wife, Jill Biden.

Biden's Long Shadow: The one-term president will haunt us for years The latest New York Times/Siena College poll has some cautionary data for Kamala Harris and the KHive. The Times found Harris winning Pennsylvania by 4 points, just outside the margin of error, but deadlocked with Donald Trump nationwide. While Harris beats Trump by 13 points on who best will handle abortion, Trump beats Harris by 13 points on the economy, 12 points on the border, and 8 points on Ukraine. Among independents, Trump leads by 4 points. Asked if Harris represents change or more of the same, 52 percent of voters said more of the same. By contrast, 59 percent said Trump represents change. He's the disrupter in a year when, according to RealClearPolitics, 61 percent of voters say the country is on the wrong track. Harris shoulders a burden: Joe Biden.

This gets even better every day! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beirut strike kills suspect in 1983 bombings that killed 300 Americans Israel killed a top Hezbollah figure who was wanted by the U.S. for his role in the 1983 bombings of the U.S. Embassy and a Marine Corps barracks that killed 300 people, the Israeli military confirmed Friday. Hezbollah's operations commander, Ibrahim Aqil, was the subject of a $7 million State Department reward for information leading to his arrest. The Israeli military said it had killed Aqil and as many as 10 other senior commanders of the movement's Radwan special forces unit. Twelve people were reported dead and 66 injured in the attack, Lebanese officials said. [...] https://www.yahoo.com/news/israel-strikes-positions-lebanon-hezbollah-083146669.html

For everyone's information, let us know how you ultimately proceeded.

Thrilling Friday non-ES/MS report, see man: Lunch was a sliced-turkey sandwich, ingest we man. We didn't get going till noon o'clock, slothful we man.

Only options were pan-fry and deep-fry, not in our repertoire man. We asked ChatGPT how to air-fry, consult AI we man. We now have instructions, intellectually savvy we man. We did this once before for another culinary item and it worked well, satisfied we man. A wonderful siesta was taken, zzz we man. Din-din was Modified Tuna Glop, ingest we man. Right after din-din, we mowed full lawn, perfect grass height man. Many (2+1) sweatbands were consumed, 2 job 1 recovery man. We finished just a Manyzen minutes before sundown, great timing man. Miu sat on our sweaty lap as we off-cooled under ceiling fan, enlapped miu man. Mini-B. reportedly enjoyed his Band master class, finished at half-past Many (2x2x2) p.m. man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. treated him to Taco Bell afterward, ravenous wee man. FST citywide GS on Saturday, eager we man. We hope to get an early start, ha ha man.

'Pizza, Ravioli, Spaghetti, Mamma Mia!' Says Kamala Harris In Mario Hat And Mustache While Addressing Crowd Of Italians PHILADELPHIA, PA — Yet another campaign audience was treated to a speech specially tailored to relate to them, as Vice President Kamala Harris adopted a pitch-perfect accent and image while addressing a crowd of Italian American voters. Harris's campaign speech to a group of supporters at a local chapter of the Italian Heritage Club was punctuated by a special outfit she wore specifically for the event, consisting of a familiar red plumber's cap and a bushy, cartoon mustache.

Biden Promises Next Trump Assassin Will Be A Woman Of Color [...] In an exclusive sit-down interview with Al Sharpton on MSNBC, Biden said, "It's long past time. We should have assassins that reflect the nation — a black nation. Blacks are great killers. No, I'm serious! Have you ever been to South Central? Corn Pop was a bad dude, a killer! And I want someone like that on our team. But, you know, a woman." "Black women are just as smart and capable as Lee Harvey Oswald," he added.

If this is true, it's big. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump takes a clear lead among New York State's Jewish voters Siena College's latest poll had some interesting results, especially from Jewish voters, long one of the Democrat party's most reliable demographics. It turns out that Jewish voters don't like what they see. The poll generally asks like/dislike questions and specific questions about the economy and immigration, but I have to believe that Jews are also worried about the Democrats' antisemitism problem and Kamala and Biden's efforts to save Hamas (a Nazi-like terrorist organization) from extinction. You can see the Siena poll here, but it's in microscopic font with a bewildering number of rows of information. I've broken out the massive shift in Jewish support for Trump and some interesting general findings.

Incompetence, maybe, but it does smell as though someone at the USSS has ulterior motives. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We Have Alarming Whistleblower Details on the Second Assassination Attempt on Trump Hawley emphasized again that the Secret Service has guarded Trump's golf course many times before and knew where the vulnerabilities were. "They normally station agents there ahead of Trump's appearance on the course, but they apparently did not do that this last weekend," Hawley continued. "And the whistleblowers tell me that's strange, that's out of protocol. It's not even clear Secret Service swept the perimeter before Trump took to the course—also a [...] breach [of] protocol—and they want to know why, and so do I."

This could have gone in several other threads, too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Biden-Harris Regime Accused of Trying to Hide Number of Terrorists Crossing the Border The Harris campaign is busy trying to ensure that people don't notice just how vacuous the Candidate of Joy really is. At the same time and for the same reason, Biden-Harris regime apparatchiks are doing all they can to keep Americans from realizing just how much damage this administration has done to the country over the last three and a half years. That initiative includes covering up the effects of erasing what was once known as our Southern border. Now, however, a whistleblower has come forward with some stinging accusations regarding just how self-serving and irresponsible — and worse — the regime has been. Northern Virginia's ABC 7 News reported Thursday that "a former Border Patrol chief agent on Wednesday accused the Biden-Harris administration of trying to hide an increase in the number of people with ties to terrorism at California's border with Mexico." https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2024/09/19/biden-harris-regime-accused-of-trying-to-hide-number-of-terrorists-crossing-the-border-n4932671

Reporter Elle Reeve talked about the issues parade-goers were concerned with in this election, and one shirtless Trump supporter gave Reeve an epic reality check about the struggles Americans face under the Biden-Harris administration. When Reeve asked, "What's your most important issue?" the shirtless Trump supporter, drink in hand, didn't hesitate.

Of All the Reasons the Left Has Given Us to Vote for Kamala, This Has to Be the Craziest Of all the cockamamie reasons the left has given us for why we simply must install Kamala Harris in the Oval Office, retired U.S. Army Brigadier General Steven Anderson has given us one of the craziest. Anderson, however, is crazy like a fox: while trying to give the impression that he was making a case for why Harris would be a better president for international relations than Bad Orange Man, the wily old general was actually speaking to Harris' domestic base, trying to make sure that it stays on the reservation. Could that be an indication that everyone in the Harris camp is not as confident of victory as the establishment media makes out? It could be, but whether it is or not, Anderson still gave us one of the most ridiculous arguments for voting for Harris that has been advanced thus far.

WHOA: Even MSNBC Just Admitted the Biden-Harris Economy Is in Trouble While "at first glance, the U.S. economy, appears to be doing 'basically fine,' as Fed Chair Jerome Powell put it in his press conference earlier this week," MSNBC's Helaine Olen wrote on Thursday, "under the surface, signs of trouble are increasing." Well, yeah. As the ZeroHedge guys put it on Wednesday, "The economy is so great, it needs a crisis-level rate cut 2 months before the election." (The Fed usually makes quarter-point adjustments except when the waste matter has collided with the rotating air-flow acceleration device.) So last week when I suggested you "Kiss Your Giant Rate Cut Goodbye," I guess I was staring into a less deep abyss than Powell was this week. Anyway, I was about to ask Olen what took her so long to notice, but because MSNBC chose to run an article that dares to question the "Greatest Economy in History, We Promise," why don't we cut them both some slack? Particularly because Olen caught a few negative trends that hadn't yet come across my desk.

You mean "dnetsits."

As others have stated, the consulate evaluates whether your relationship is bona fide (solid, real). Substantial time spent together in person, over multiple visits, will help to overcome their suspicions.
