Assassination Summation

BREAKING: Trump indicted for interfering with an official CIA ...

The attempted assassination of Pres. Donald Trump will be endlessly analyzed in the coming years.  What is known right now?   Here are the facts.

On July 13th 2024 at 6:05 p.m., President Trump began to speak before a crowd in Butler, Pennsylvania.  At 6:11 p.m., Thomas Matthew Crooks would open fire from the roof of the AGR building located just out of the perimeter set up by the Secret Service.

LAX SECURITY SERVICE

Since then, we’ve learned that the Secret Service were made aware of a suspicious individual ninety minutes before the shooting.  (4:26 p.m.)  Thomas Crooks was allowed to enter the venue with a bicycle, a backpack, a rangefinder and a rifle.  Crooks would also use a drone to survey the area (something law enforcement failed to do.)

If the official story is to be believed, the police and the Secret Service lost track of Crooks until 5:14 p.m.

5:14 p.m. A Secret-Service sharpshooter photographs the assassin.

Crooks is seen scoping out the area with a rangefinder.  On a cell-phone video, Crooks is seen wandering around the AGR building a half-hour before the shooting.

When questioned, Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle explained that not all suspects are questioned.

At 6:05 p.m., Pres. Trump begins speaking.  A moment later, Thomas Crooks climbs aboard the AGR building, boosting himself over an air-conditioning unit.

6:08 p.m.  Onlookers begin screaming, warning the police about a gunman on the roof.   Two local policemen boost themselves up to the side of the building.  When seen, Crooks points his rifle at the man on top who falls off the roof’s edge.  The mainstream media claims that the counter-snipers view was blocked by trees; however, the second team had a clear view of the rifleman for two and half minutes and did not fire.

At 6:11 p.m., Crooks opens fire.  The first bullet, a near headshot misses, grazing Trump’s ear.   A turn of the head and a slight breeze saves the former President’s life.   The next two shots miss. Trump ducks down behind the podium.  A total of eight shots were fired before an ESU officer fires a shot at Crooks.  From the official version of the story, the tenth and last shot is from the Secret Service sniper team, killing Crooks.

This proves the following…

The second sniper team waited until the would-be assassin fired eight shots.  This is proof of a stand-down order.  Who was in charge of the Secret Service at the Butler rally?   While many are blaming this on negligence or the DEI agents, there are far more sinister implications.  When something surpasses gross negligence, it become deliberate.  The only conclusion:  those in high government wanted Trump assassinated.

Select members of the Secret Service did not act or try to defend President Trump.  This decision was ordered by those higher up.  Consider the timing.  Trump was nearly killed a few days before he was official nominated by the RNC and before his announcement of his running mate:  J.D. Vance.  No coincidence.

In nearby Pittsburg, on the same day, at the same time, First Lady Jill Biden spoke at a reception, taking the best of the Secret Service with her.  LINK  Additionally, VP Kamala Harris made a speech in Philadelphia.   Another coincidence, right?

Those in Congress are asking the wrong questions.  Who ordered the Secret Service to stand-down?  Former Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle was close friends of the Bidens.  That should tell you something.  Trump’s enemies are in charge of protecting him.  Consequently, he was nearly killed on July 13th.

This points to the DNC itself.  Top Democrats saw the polls.  They knew Biden would lose and gave the order to do nothing if there was an attempt on Trump’s life.  Since then, they have forced Biden out of the race and replaced him with Kamala Harris.

Trump promises an investigation if elected.  If Democrats try to block it, that’s a good indication they know and are protecting those who tried to kill Donald Trump.

Gravitas – Why Trump Wins

Posted on by

As predicted, the media dropped their pants for Kamala Harris replacing their “Night of the Living Dead” candidate, faux President Joe Biden.  Naturally, the poll numbers would rise for VP Harris.  She’s more animated than the vegetable.  That doesn’t mean she’s going to win.

As Hillary Clinton proved, being a woman isn’t enough to get elected.  If a heavy-hitter like the Great Satan Hillary can’t beat Trump, how does Kamala – the bush leaguer?  Name Kamala Harris’s accomplishments.

Border Czar – a complete disaster.

She covered up Joe Biden’s mental decline.

Harris supports BLM and said that if Trump wins the election, the riots should continue.

Now she’s backtracking on every issue.  One minute she’s against fracking, now she’s for it.  Allowed an open border, now she’s going to get tough.  (After declaring amnesty.)

Kamala Harris received no votes and no delegates.  She was selected.  That’s not democracy.

2020.  The only reason Trump didn’t win by a landslide was:  Covid, the George Floyd riots and the Dems cheating in all the swing-states.

2024.  Trump crushed Biden in the debates.  He survived an assassination attempt that was allowed to happen by the Secret Service.  If he survives, he will be re-elected as the 47th President of the United States.

Kamala doesn’t have gravitas.  Watch her in her 2020 debate with Tulsi Gabbard.  Harris folds up like a spider on a hot stove.

Tell me:  if Harris can’t take on a fellow candidate, how will she face Vladimir Putin?  Xi Jinping?  Kim Jong Un?  Ali Khamenei?

When Trump stood up, bloodied and said, “Fight!”, it meant something.  Maybe, that’s why the MSM is trying to scrub this photo from the Internet.  But, you can’t erase it from people’s minds.

Plausible Deniability: Who Wanted Trump Dead?

Posted on by

By now, everyone knows the “official” story of the attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump.  Let’s get to the real story…

On June 27, 2024, Pres. Joe Biden was badly beaten in his debate with Pres. Donald Trump.  It was now impossible to ignore Biden’s cognitive disorders.  How was he to save his faltering campaign?   The DNC and the MSM made not so subtle commentary that Joe should step down “for the good of the country.”  Except, Joe refused.  Time for Plan B.

Their plan:  Set-up Trump outside in a rural setting with rube police and untrained DEI agents.

Delegate outside protection of the AGR building (where Thomas Crooks would fire from) to the police.   Local police, when confronting Crooks, had no gun and fell off the edge of the roof.

Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle issues a stand-down order to the counter-snipers.  (Is is no coincidence Cheatle is a close friend of the Bidens.)

Secret Service ignores a small crowd of people screaming “There’s a man on the roof!” and “He’s got a gun!”

Secret Service waits until eight shots are fired at Trump, one wounding him in the right ear.  (One rally-goer is killed, two are badly injured.)

Trump is slowly taken off-stage, still exposed by inept DEI agents.

Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Kimberly Cheatle.  There’s no doubt in my mind these people are involved in the conspiracy to kill Donald Trump.  Cheatle is the fall guy.  She was told what to do.  The uncurious media have already moved on to other news stories.  Kamala Harris.  Is she black?  J.D. Vance.  Is he weird?

If there was a serious investigation of what really happened on July 13th, 2024, the public would find out that the top leaders of the Democratic Party are murderers.

Multiple Shooters (Audio Proof)

Posted on by

According to audio expert Chris Martenson, the recordings of July 13th 2024 prove there were at least two shooters during the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

CLICK LINK HERE

While the guns may be the same, the distances are not.

Thomas Crooks is positioned on the AGR building 400 feet away from Donald Trump.

An unknown shooter is located on top of the water tower at 800 feet distance.

The water tower where it is suspected there was a second shooter at Trump’s rally on July 13, 2024.

Another is placed somewhere 1200 feet from the stage.

The first three shots are from Crooks.  The first bullet grazes Trump’s ear.  Bullets two and three narrowly miss.

After Trump hits the floor of the stage, there is a slight pause.  Five more shots ring out.  They are not from Crooks.

Another pause.  The ninth shot (from the water tower) kills Crooks.

The end of Thomas Crooks

While the Secret Service may take credit for killing the assassin, this is impossible.  The type of weaponry used by the Secret Service would be a military-grade high-caliber rifle that would have blown Crooks head off.  As seen in the rooftop photo, Crooks head is still intact.

WHERE DID THE LADDER AND RIFLE COME FROM?

In a cellphone video, we see Crooks standing by the AGR building approximately one hour before the shooting.

As reported by the MSM, Crooks bought a five foot ladder at Home Depot to scale this building.  The actual ladder used was ten feet.  No one saw Crooks carrying a ladder.

The same can be said for the rifle.  Crooks was not seen holding the rifle until he was up on the roof.  Where did he get it from?  Some will surmise that he stashed it somewhere, but wouldn’t the Secret Service have found it?  The same Secret Service that is in the building Crooks is shooting from.

An accomplice is helping Crooks, i.e., supplying the rifle and ladder.  More than likely it is someone in the AGR building; meaning it is a member of the Secret Service.

THE WOMAN WEARING THE BLACK BASEBALL CAP

As Trump speaks, a woman (around 35 years old), wearing dark sunglasses and a black baseball cap, watches with a blank expression.  The woman visibly nods and the first gunshot is heard, wounding Trump.  Is this another accomplice of Thomas Crooks?   The audience begins to duck and cover.  Not the woman, who takes a cellphone out and begins to video the event.  Her face  shows no emotion.  Is it because she knows she isn’t a target?

LAST MINUTE ATTEMPT TO KILL TRUMP CALLED OFF?

In the now infamous video of the three women thought to be Secret Service, who are fumbling around as Trump is being rushed into the SUV, look in the upper right corner of the screen.  (This can be viewed in the two videos located in the center of this article.)  A large, fat Secret Service agent is seen wearing tactical gear and headphones.  This agent briefly points his rifle at Donald Trump.  Did this agent receive an order to “accidently” shoot Trump amidst all the confusion?  It was called off, but why isn’t the MSM asking why this man pointed his gun at the former president?

CONCLUSION

God has protected and saved the life of Donald Trump.  There’s no doubt in my mind he will be re-elected.  He’s God’s candidate.Text © 2024 – ERN

BIDEN QUITS!

Biden resigns as presidential candidate - He announced it in a letter - ProtoThema English

It’s official.  Pres. Joseph R. Biden, the 46th President of the United States announced on “X” by way of the above letter, that he would not be running for re-election in 2024.

Biden hasn’t stepped down as President.   As of now, the hyena Kamala Harris still has to wait.  That’s a good thing.

Former Pres. Barack Obama has not endorsed VP Harris.  Commentators have said this leaves the door open to Michelle Obama to run.

Opinion.  Biden was forced out.  He did not write this letter of resignation.

If there is a battle for who the candidate is, Biden could leave office making Kamala Harris POTUS.  But, will he?  Something tells me he does not want to give up the last six months of his last vestiges of power.

AFTERMATH – July 13, 2024

Posted on by

Report: Thomas Matthew Crooks Shot Trump From Roof Law Enforcement Used as Staging AreaPHOTO Zoomed Out Version Of Thomas Crooks Laying Dead Facedown After Police Shot Him

Photo 1.  Thomas Matthew Crooks prepares to fire on former Pres. Donald Trump.   Photo 2.  Thomas Matthew Crooks dead on the roof of the AGR Building.

Photo 3.  High school nerd or hitman?

Thomas Matthew Crooks Plan B?

The man who nearly murdered former President Donald Trump apparently had an alternate plan for the rally held in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13th.  A homemade bomb was found in Crooks vehicle and a detonating device was seen near his body.  Crooks, (or those who were assisting him), knew there would be lax security at the event.   If this would-be assassin had been able to smuggle explosives into the rally, hundreds of people would have been killed.

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle

There have been many calls from Republican leaders for Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign.  The Biden Administration, so far, have said they have no plans on dismissing her.  The three women who have been criticized for not knowing what to do during the assassination attempt were not members of the Secret Service.  They are agents from Homeland Security.

QUESTIONS ABOUT JULY 13TH

How did Matthew Crooks know the roof he used as a vantage point would be unguarded?

Why was it unguarded?  (No, I don’t believe Cheetos excuse about a sloped roof.)

Why did the counter snipers wait until Crooks fired eight times before they returned fire?

How could Crooks build a bomb without his parents knowing about it?  (Or did someone else supply it?)

Why did Trump’s Secret Service team allow him to go on when they knew a dangerous suspect was seen with a rangefinder?

TIMELINE

5:10 p.m.  Crooks spotted by police acting suspiciously.

5:30 p.m.  Crooks seen holding a rangefinder.

Firearms rangefinder

5:52 p.m.  Crooks seen on roof.

6:05 p.m.  Trump begins speaking.

6:11 p.m.  8 shots are fired by Crooks.  The first strikes the side of Trump’s ear.  Two more miss Trump who lies down and is covered by Secret Service agents.  Five more shots are fired.  One kills attendee Corey Comperatore, 50, while shielding his wife and daughter.  David Dutch, 47, and James Copenhaver, 74, are critically wounded.  Secret Service counter sniper kills Crooks with one head shot.

AFTERMATH

Since the shooting, Pres. Trump’s ratings have soared.  If the election were held today, he would win by a landslide.

Biden’s mental deterioration continues.  Democratic Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has asked him to step down as President.

It seems inevitable VP Kamala Harris will replace Biden or Democrats will have to invoke the 25th Amendment.

DEEP-STATE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT

Posted on by

FACTS ON THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Assassin Thomas Crooks was spotted by the police 26 minutes before the shooting “acting strangely by the magnetometers”.

The excuse given for not immediately firing on Crooks:  Protocol.  The counter snipers were waiting for Crooks to fire the first shot.  Except, that isn’t true.  They waited for him to fire eight shots.

An explosive device was found in Crooks car.

On one of the cell phone videos, a woman’s voice can be heard, screaming, “Crooks, what are you doing?!”

July 8th Biden quote:  “We’re done talking about the debate.  It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”

Democrats attempted to withdraw Trump’s Secret Service protection after his indictment.  LINK

Until recently, RFK Jr. was denied Secret Service protection.

Kimberly Cheatle, the head of the Secret Service, was chosen by Jill Biden.  Ms. Cheatle’s goal for the Secret Service is diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI.)   This would partially account for why the agents protecting Pres. Trump are unqualified.

AN ORDER TO STANDDOWN 

The nearly fatal assassination of President Donald J. Trump occurred 16 days after the first presidential debate.  That is no coincidence.  Universally, everyone who watched the debate said Biden lost; lost to the point that media commentators and fellow Democrats insisted it was time for him to step down.

If Trump had been killed on July 13th, as planned by the upper echelon of those above Biden, it would have been the gamechanger they were looking for.

There is no doubt in my mind – there was an official order for the secret service to standdown – and not protect Trump against an assassin’s bullet.

Since Biden’s disastrous debate performance, many have wondered – “Who’s running the country?”  The answer can be found in what has taken place in the last three and a half years.   The biggest indication is what’s happening on the border.   18 million illegal aliens have flooded into the United States.  The only reason it has slowed down recently is because of the upcoming election.  When Barack Obama was President, he made it clear that he wanted to bring in as many third-world invaders into the U.S. as possible, preferably in areas mostly populated by white people.

Let’s assume that 2021-2024 is really 3rd term Obama.

Let’s also assume that Kamala Harris becomes the 47th President.  That would be 4th and 5th term Obama.  Then, let’s assume Michelle Obama takes her turn as President.  That’s 6th and 7th term Obama.  7 terms equals 28 years.  Do you see why Obama would want to get rid of Donald Trump?

It’s no secret Obama filled the FBI and CIA with his people.  What about the Secret Service?

As of now, the mainstream media are reporting this incident as one of mass incompetence and that everything will be fine when Kimberly Cheatle is fired.  No, it won’t.  Reporters refuse to investigate this story to where it leads.  It leads right to the top.

Obama, Biden release their financial statements

Trump Wounded, 2 Dead

Posted on by

In a photo that will define the 2024 General Election, a bloodied Trump raised his fist in the air and shouted, “Fight!”  The crowd cheered, shouting, “USA USA, USA!”

7/13/2024, Butler, Pennsylvania.  Former President Donald J. Trump was shot and nearly assassinated while speaking before an audience at a campaign rally.  Armed with an Ar-15 rifle, Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from a rooftop adjacent to the venue.  As Trump was speaking, he turned his head, which saved his life.  The bullet grazed Trump’s right ear.  Crooks would then open fire on the crowd, killing one and wounding two others.  Secret Service shot and killed Crooks from a left-stage vantage point.

Corey Comperatore who shot and killed as he used his body as a human shield to protect his family against the assassin’s bullets.

SECURITY BREAKDOWN

As reported by the BBC, the police and Secret Service were warned by an onlooker who saw Crooks on the roof with a rifle.  His warnings were ignored.

Another failure was in the perimeters that were established.  Why wasn’t this rooftop checked before Trump spoke?

Third, some have commented as to why Trump wasn’t immediately removed from the stage.

REACTION

The psychotic far-left responded on X, saying they were sad the shooter missed.

The usual suspects:  Biden, Obama, Pelosi, Schumer issued meaningless platitudes and tut-tuts.  A bland Biden wouldn’t say if he thought it was an assassination attempt.

CNN and MSNBC initial headlines state that “Trump fell down” and that “popping noises were heard”.  Now do you see why they’re called fake news?

OPINION

I don’t care who the Democrats run against Trump…

Biden, the child-sex pervert.

Creepy Joe Biden

 

Kamala Harris, who fucked her way to the top.

Kamala Harris

 

The Great Satan Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton

 

Gavin Newsom who ran California into bankruptcy.

Gavin Newsom

 

“Big Mike” Michelle Obama

Official Trump VP thread

 

Gretchen Witmer, who betrayed Biden the moment he lost the debate.

Gretchen Witmer

None of these candidates can beat Trump now or ever.

I have to give credit to Tucker Carlson who predicted this would happen and would also predict that Biden would drop out of the race.  No wonder FoxNews got rid of him.  Too much truth.

God’s hand has protected Trump from the Satanic far-left Communists.  When Trump is reelected, it’s time to purge this country.  Any person who threatens the life of the President [that includes all social media websites] gets hard time in the slammer.

Prediction: Biden Won’t Finish His Term

Posted on by

Biden 2024 Campaign Slogan - Genna Jordana

Biden’s crushing defeat in the June 27th debate, combined with proof of his cognitive decline will eventually lead to the end of his Presidency.

There are only two choices left:  Resignation or the invocation of the 25th Amendment.

The DNC has no intention of losing the 2024 General Election to Trump.  To them, loyalty be damned.

If I had to choose, once serious threats of using the 25th Amendment begin, Biden will resign.

Pundits say this will be decided in an open convention.  I don’t think so.  The longer Biden campaigns, the more proof there is that his Presidency is fake.

The MSM (legacy media) have been caught in a cover-up.  The so-called “conspiracy theory” that the last three and a half years were Obama’s 3rd term have turned out to be true.

WHO BENEFITS?

VP Kamala Harris.  Once she’s in, she won’t want to leave or be replaced.  The fraudulent MSM is desperately trying to reboot Kamala.  The problem is – every time the world salad queen opens her mouth.  Her gibberish isn’t much better than Biden’s frozen stare.

“I don’t know.”

“I don’t care.”

Biden has Parkinson’s Disease

EricReports Exclusive

President Joe Biden’s secret diagnosis is Parkinson’s Disease, the more serious form known as “Postural Instability and Gait Disorders”.   Biden’s symptoms were evident during the debate:  i.e., the President’s shuffling walk, mental “freezing”, beginnings of dementia and stiff, robotic movements.

Parkinson’s Disease Brain Scan

Family members of Joe Biden are in discussion about what to do in regards to the failing health of the President.  The family’s hope (especially Jill and Hunter Biden) will be that the President is able to function well enough to be re-elected.

 

Biden during the debate.  Lost and confused.

If the mainstream media had been doing its job, they would’ve reported a long time ago that Biden was no longer qualified to be President.  The big question is:  who’s been running the country for the last two years?

The DNC wants an open convention to pick their candidate of choice.  In the meantime, we have no president.  What will America do if there’s another 9/11?  If China invades Taiwan?  If Covid-2 breaks out?  Who will make the decisions?

Debate Analysis

Posted on by

For the last two years, EricReports.com has commented on the growing senility of faux Pres. Joe Biden.  Suddenly on June 27th, the mainstream media discovered it, when there were no longer able to hide it.  At age 81, Biden tottered out, pale, ashen, a spent force.  Like a broken wide-up doll, “Sleepy Joe” went thru the motions.  Each candidate claimed they were the worst president in U.S. history.

Biden’s Worst Moments

There were many.  The first 15 minutes Biden appeared as if wouldn’t be able to make it thru the debate.  His voice was difficult to hear at times.  Campaign staff said he had a cold.  Baloney.  His messages were fumbled and confused.

Biden:  “We finally beat Medicare.”

Trump:  “You beat Medicare to death.”

Biden said no servicemen were killed during his term.  That was false.  13 Marines were killed upon our disastrous exit from Afghanistan by a suicide bomber.

Biden also remarked that the U.S. has “a thousand trillionaires.”

Biden’s Best Moments

For those who hate Trump, Biden threw them some red meat by saying Trump was a Nazi who fucks porn stars.  That old chestnut.

Trump’s Best Moments

Biden mumbled something while staring off into the distance.

Trump: “I don’t know what he just said and I don’t think he knows either.”

Trump defended the Jan. 6th protestors who have been held in prison without due process of law.  Biden said he’s glad they’re in prison.

Trump spoke about our border or lack thereof, saying terrorists and the criminally insane have invaded our country by the millions.

Trump blamed Biden’s “Green New Deal” for wasting trillions of dollars as well as money poured into the losing war in Ukraine.

In the last half hour, Biden began to rally, but it was too little, too late.  Both candidates gave closing statements which were run-of-the-mill.

Aftermath

The MSM and Dems quickly admitted defeat saying Biden should step down for the good of the Party.

Prediction:  Biden will be replaced by VP Kamala Harris.

CNN’s poll stated that 67% thought Trump won, compared to Biden’s 33%.  (Which means 33% were paid to be there.)

Set-Up?

Q.  Did the DNC deliberately setup Biden to fail early on?   This was the earliest debate ever, pre-convention, meaning it gives Democrats time to find another candidate.

Inadvertently, CNN’s new format benefited Trump.  Cutting off the microphones, allowed Biden to ramble on incoherently.  During CNN’s split-screens, Biden appeared bewildered, slack-jawed, and old, old, old.  This will be the most decisive debate since Nixon lost to Kennedy in 1960.

Do I feel sorry for Biden?  No.  This is karma for 2020.

Rod Steiger

Posted on by

Back in the 1960’s, Rod Steiger was considered one of the top actors in Hollywood.  He would receive an Academy Award for Best Actor for “In the Heat of the Night” (1967.)  But for me, that wasn’t his best performance.  Steiger would also be nominated for “On the Waterfront” (1954) and “The Pawnbroker” (1965).

When you watch the taxicab scene from “On the Waterfront”, watch Rod Steiger.  He is told by his brother Terry Malloy (Brando) how his own brother sold him out.  The look, the reaction.  He knows every word of it is true and it destroys him.

In “The Pawnbroker”, Steiger is Sol Nazerman, a survivor of the Holocaust.  He is an empty shell of a man.  Others try to reach him, but he’s untouchable.  There are many outstanding scenes.  For me, the best is when he’s asked “Why are your people so good at business?”

Lee Marvin would somehow win the Oscar for “Cat Ballou”, a comedy-western.  Proof positive the Academy is insane.

After winning an Oscar in 1968, Rod Steiger could pretty much pick and choose any role he wanted.  His next three films:  “No Way to Treat a Lady”, “The Sergeant” and “The Illustrated Man” were chancy, gutsy performances.

In “No Way to Treat a Lady”, Rod plays a psychopathic strangler who kills old ladies that remind him of his mother.  It’s a superb thriller except for the cop-out ending.  Based on a novel by William Goldman.

Rod Steiger as Christopher Gill in “No Way to Treat a Lady”

“The Sergeant” chronicles how Steiger (as Master Sergeant Albert Callan) tries to take over a young man’s life. (John Phillip Law as Pvt. Swanson.)   A closeted homosexual, his character weeps, tries to kiss the object of his affection and then says, “I didn’t do that.”   Critics trashed the movie, but few actors would have the guts to play it back in the 1960’s.

Tagline: “Just one weakness . . . just one.”

“The Illustrated Man” is an anthology held together by the lead character (Steiger as Carl) who tells his story to a young drifter (Robert Drivas as Willie.)  Claire Bloom (then Steiger’s wife) is the mysterious women named Felicia who goes “Back into the future”.    As Carl says, “She went back into her house and took the whole blessed thing with her.”

Ray Bradbury Week: The Illustrated ManThe Illustrated Man (1969)

Carl’s stories are told through his tattoos (“Skin illustrations”, he insists.)  The plot eludes to reincarnation.  The same characters reappear through our life, over and over again.

The Illustrated Man (1969)

“The Illustrated Man” is a flawed, but fascinating film, noteworthy for its score (Jerry Goldsmith) and a dog Carl carries around in a bag.  (Pogo as “Peke”.)

Rod Steiger’s career would take a nosedive with the box-office failure aptly titled “Waterloo” (1970.)  In ’71, he replaced Eli Wallach as Tuco in “Duck, You Sucker”.  (A semi-sequel to “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” – directed by Sergio Leone.  It flopped.  Like many actors, Rod Steiger suffered from clinical depression.  Being regarded as one of the world’s great actors, then seeing it crumble from a series of bad movies and a divorce from Claire Bloom was a shame.  He would make several comebacks in “The Amityville Horror” (1979) and “The Specialist” (1994.)

Rod Steiger (1925-2002.)  Died from complications from the removal of a gallbladder tumor.

Trump’s Conviction

Protestors after the verdict

On May 30, 2024, former President Donald Trump was found guilty by a New York grand jury for the crime of “falsifying business records”.   This goes to the question as to whether Trump paid hush money to porn actress Stormy Daniels.  Trump denies any wrongdoing and is appealing the case.  This could be dragged through the courts for years.  Conceivably, Trump could pardon himself if re-elected.  (Something I don’t recommend.)

Stormy Daniels

While the MSM has commented that this is the first time a President has been convicted of a felony in court (and it is), if then Pres. Richard Nixon has not resigned and been pardoned by his successor Pres. Gerald Ford, he would have been convicted for crimes relating to Watergate.  (Obstruction of Justice.)

The hatred from the Democrats for Nixon and Trump is the same.  Back in 1974, there was the same level of hysteria from Democrats who proclaimed that “Our Republic will be destroyed,” if Nixon wasn’t removed from office.  Today, it’s “The end of Democracy”.   Nothing changes, except for the names and faces.  All of this stems from the deep state’s hatred of Trump.  The usual suspects are:  Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, George Soros, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and the mainstream media.

Will this hurt Trump’s chance for re-election?  Slightly.   Hardcore Trump fans will vote for him no matter what.  Then there are the Democrats who vote Dems every time.  It’s the undecided (especially women) who may be affected by it.  The MSM and those at the Democratic Convention will call Trump “a convicted felon.”  They’ll show pictures of Trump in an orange jumpsuit behind bars.  (That isn’t going to happen.)

If and I say if, Biden is re-elected, despite the inflation, the rampant crime, 18 million illegal aliens and two lost wars (Afghanistan and Ukraine), the American people will wake up to a deep dark future.

No Voter I.D. because…

North Carolina justices sweep away district, voter ID rulings

To obtain a driver’s license, you have to show forms of identification:  a birth certificate, a passport, a utility bill, etc.  To vote, it’s a free-for-all.  Anybody with a pulse can vote…and in some cases, even that isn’t necessary.

It’s well known, Nixon lost the 1960 General Election by a narrow margin, credited to ballot-box stuffing for the winner John Kennedy.

It is 2024 and we, as a nation, still have no voter I.D. card.  It’s obvious why.

In 2020, Biden would win every swing state with the infamous Covid ballots – voter dumps without proof of verifications as to who was voting or where they came from.  Counterfeits ballots.

2024.  Some 18 million illegal aliens have invaded our borders, courtesy of the Biden-Obama doctrine.  Will they be allowed to vote?  What’s to stop them?  We our living in a  lawless country.  Despite what the MSM broadcasts, they are not “pilgrims”.  They are young men of military age.  Many are from the Middle East and Northern Africa – Muslim nations.  These people have no intention of assimilating.  They are jihadists.  This is Obama’s revenge on the United States.  He is the front man for the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist group.  For those who have read Obama’s autobiography “Dreams from my Father”, (ghostwritten by Bill Ayers), you’ll discover Obama is a hater of Western colonist powers.  He is a foreign-born Marxist-Muslim punishing America for perceived past wrongdoing.

The Democratic Party is willing to put up with this criminal behavior as a means for more power.  If the Republican Party is out-numbered by the millions of illegals entering the USA, the Dems are fine with it.  But, like a Frankenstein monster, the future does not bode well for us.  As we have seen in Europe, it’s being overrun by Muslim immigrants who rape and murder their way across the Western world.  All of this done to win an election.

Is Biden being eased out?

Posted on by

Biden: 81 years old and doesn’t look a day over 90.

Biden is a walking-talking gaffe.  No one knows what he’ll do or say next.  If re-elected, by early-mid 2025, you’ll see less and less of him and more and more of, as Biden calls her, “the black Indian”.

Will Biden go away quietly?  Depends on his condition.  Dems are afraid one day “Creepy Joe” will blurt out the truth one day about the rigged election.  Or…

Does Biden actually believe he won?

How self-aware is Biden?  Back in 2020, Biden was told “for the good of the country” there’d be some voting irregularities designed for his eventual victory.  And he was fine with it.  Now, I think Biden has talked himself into believing he won.

Many insiders have called  Biden’s 2021-2024 term, Obama’s 3rd term.  Many of the controlling forced behind “Sleepy Joe” will do the same for the new faux Pres. Kamala Harris.  (Will she be controlled?)

If the DNC is running a propped-up illusionary democracy, all future Democratic presidents will be beholden to the criminal system that put them there.
