Another Attempted Trump Assassination

What with the Emmy Awards this weekend, many of you might not have heard that there was a second assassination attempt on former president Trump. (I'm just joking--I didn't know about the Emmy Awards on Sunday until I was catching up on some headlines and, frankly, wonder how many people even care). 

    As you probably heard, a devoted Democrat and confirmed globalist, Ryan Routh, was waiting in ambush to shoot Trump as the candidate was golfing at his Trump International Golf Club in Florida. Initial reports apparently were that there had been a shooting near the golf course but unrelated to Trump. Now we are told that Routh, a convicted felon, had been hiding out anywhere from 300 to 500 yards from where Trump was playing when a Secret Service Agent spotted him and engaged him with gun fire. (Routh, fortunately, seems to have had lousy fieldcraft). Routh fled the scene, leaving behind a scoped AK [update: SKS] style rifle, body armor, and a Go Pro camera. Routh was arrested shortly thereafter.

    There are a few questions about all of this, including the biggie: how Routh knew that Trump would be golfing at that particular time and place. Some have suggested that the information was leaked to him. Maybe someone who does not want to see peace in Ukraine. Of course, Routh might have just hung out there every weekend hoping for a shot. I would also like to know if he had ties to Leftist groups. The public might have been able to discover the answers, but Routh's X account was quickly taken down and his Facebook account was scrubbed.

    But because of the hubbub over this, one thing you might not have heard about is that the affidavit of an ABC News whistleblower was released and shows that the Harris Campaign was exercising considerable control over the debate, including requiring live "fact checking" of Trump (which is why only Trump was being "fact checked" and not Harris). 

    But back to the second assassination attempt. Anonymous Conservative has collected links and is probably the best source for additional information I've come across (see his daily news brief for today and his post, "Another Trump Assassination Attempt, Trump Is Safe And Unharmed"). And some more article:

• "Alleged Trump Fla. Assassin Was Democrat Voter, Biden Donor and Ukraine Loyalist"-- Headline USA.
• "Ryan Wesley Routh Fought in Ukraine War"--Newsweek.
• "Alleged would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh donated exclusively to Democrats since 2019"--New York Post.
• "The Story Behind Trump's Second Assassin Took a Strange Turn...and It Involves the Media"--Townhall. About the New York Times having interviewed Routh concerning Ukraine. As Glenn Reynolds notes, it appears that Routh might have been working with diplomats and/or intelligence agencies as late as last year.
• "Democrats shouldn’t be surprised by Trump’s would-be assassins"--The Spectator. Roger Kimball argues that the attempted assassinations are the inevitable results of Democrats incessantly demonizing Trump for the past 7 years (i.e., the Left's Trump Derangement Syndrome).
