The fact that they have failed to apprehend the shooter of Charlie Kirk is really bad. We are already seen people on the left claim that this is a false flag operation, for example. And by people I mean the most popular comments under post on YouTube and other social media sites.

More “clown show” -

Analysts point to the firing of a single shot and a preestablished escape route as evidence that the shooting had been carefully planned.

What analyst would say that of a shot from only 200 yards and missing either a head shot or center body mass? Oh, the guy who went on Faux News Jesse Waters.

Former FBI Agent Stuart Kaplan said the shooter likely put a lot of preparation into the attack, telling Fox NewsJesse Watters: "This assassination, different to the attack [on Trump] back in Butler, Pennsylvania, was a very well planned, very well orchestrated plot that was put in motion days before.

“This individual had a plan of escape to elude detection of being out on a rooftop, and also being able to evade and elude law enforcement,” added Kaplan. “This assassination of Charlie Kirk to me is indicative of a professional hit, and I’m not so sure we are quickly going to be able to apprehend this individual without some luck.”

They aren’t going to find the shooter and will use him as a perpetual leftist bogeyman for every drop of sympathy and every last penny they can squeeze out of this.

This is more important to the Right than 9/11:

“Vice President JD Vance canceled his trip to New York to commemorate the attacks by al Qaeda on September 11, 2001, and instead will travel to Utah to visit Kirk’s family, a person familiar with the situation said.”

How many Scaramucci’s did it take?

Climate scientists are declaring victory after the Trump administration dissolved a working group of five well-known climate contrarians that authored a recent federal report questioning the severity of climate change and even portraying it as potentially beneficial.

A letter dated September 3 from Energy Sec. Chris Wright confirming the dissolution of the group was sent to the five researchers

The group’s end can be traced to a lawsuit filed by the Environmental Defense Fund and Union of Concerned Scientists alleging the group’s formation violated the Federal Advisory Committee Act in several ways,

“I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”

I’m trying to figure out if Trump ordered Kirk’s assassination to divert attention from the Epstein birthday book or it was on orders from the home office to divert attention from its recent foray into Poland.
