There is a clear and present danger in this country.

Have we ever gotten any answers to the Butler shooting?

I can see the press who are there become part of the story. Will they report this with them taking center stage?

Or will they sweep this away like so many other stories because it doesn’t fit their narrative. Do they really want to say anyone was trying to assassinate the President?

I say this story is over by Monday.

Everyone should listen to Mark Levine's show on Fox News today. He goes deep into a warning by Abraham Lincoln in 1838 that the Democrat party of his day (and today) is filled with corrupt intent and wants to undermine American democracy and the Constitution. Lincoln was a visionary. He saw today coming, not to mention the Civil War. Here is an article on the "Lyceum Address": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln%27s_Lyceum_address

As The Boston Globe, which had reporters there at the dinner, put it, "Armed man storms hotel hosting Corrrespondents' Dinner," and "Accused gunman at Corresponents' Dinner was believed to be targeting top officials."

Such "interesting" wording. Such measured avoidance of speaking truth.

...think it'll take that long?

Thank G-d the President is safe.

JudyC's avatar

No, thank GOD the President is safe.

Abraham S Carnow's avatar

We mean the same thing, but we come from different traditions as to how we designate the Lord.

JudyC's avatar

Sorry, didn’t mean offense. Thanks for the explanation! My apologies!

Abraham S Carnow's avatar

Always good to have respectful conversation.

Pat Robinson's avatar

Honestly asking what is that tradition?

Not to name?

Abraham S Carnow's avatar

Kathleen responded, and I agree. The Lord's name can be said in many ways, but it is common to use to dash to pronounce the unpronounceable. So, when I post, I write it that way. Thank you for asking.

JudyC's avatar

I’m thankful for the explanation!

Kathleen's avatar

It is a respectful thing among some conservative Jews and orthodox Christians

Matt L.'s avatar

Some of the Jewish faith don’t write out the name ‘God’ out of profound reverence to our Creator. As a Christian I find it a bit silly but also harmless. It’s a Jewish law rooted in OT Deuteronomy 12:3-4 which instructs to not desecrate sacred texts.

JMan 2819's avatar

Jews under the old covenant do not have the same intimacy with God that was granted to Christians. Under the old covenant, for one day each year, after elaborate ritual atonement, the high priest could enter the holy of holies of the Temple and come into the presence of God - and survive.

But Christians stand on the righteousness of Jesus, and our physical bodies are the temple of God. We are permanently indwelt by the Holy Spirt. God dwells within us. Jesus gave believers the right to be children of God (John 1:12). And Jesus said he no longer calls us servant but friend.

Believers should always appreciate God’s holy and loving nature, his hatred of sin, and the wrath we would face but for the sacrifice of Jesus. But God is not a distant unknown. He desires a deeply intimate relationship with us and believers respond to that desire with joy.

WTF is going on. Can’t wait to see the dead persons social feeds. Will we now finally find out what motivated the last dead shooter in Butler.

frank's avatar

No on both counts.

Matt L.'s avatar

Yes, I see they captured him alive.

How long before the National Socialist Left calls for the Pro-freedom Right and the President to 'turn down the temperature'?

The Cruel Left is defined by violence.

Free Will's avatar

Trump will instantly be accused of setting up another fake assassination/"right wing violence." This will never be covered as yet another case of psychotic progressive violence/domestic terror.

There has been zero proven violence since 2015 that was not funded and coordinated by the globalist left. Am I wrong? Find it.

Emily Terrell's avatar

Didn’t the press just tell us yesterday they planned to disrupt the dinner?!

frank's avatar

Yes they did.

Free Will's avatar

No idea, but I’ll bet you there are ties to an NGO or some left wing money laundering terror front. Care to make it interesting?

Brian M's avatar

Harder to make a conspiracy argument when they have the shooter alive. They also quickly got to his home and have all his materials and it is a Trump appointed FBI and Secret Service, so no politics to cover the trail like at Butler

Free Will's avatar

Transparency has not been much better during the Trump administration? They have learned little actionable about Butler, Epstein, DNC money laundering NGOs. Narrative control is all that matters to the authoritarian Swamp, and the swamp is deeper than ever.

Brian M's avatar

Trump is transparent. I can’t speak for the Deep State

Mark Emerson's avatar

You are right. Of course the left and media will lie.

Kurt's avatar

Thank God President Trump is safe and unharmed!

BradK (Tuckered out)'s avatar

Jesus F'ing Christ. Yet again, we see how the violent rhetoric and hate directed at Trump is never enough to satisfy the bloodlust of the Left.

Ruth H's avatar

Please don’t use the Lord’s name like that. Please

BradK (Tuckered out)'s avatar

No offense intended, that was a pure emotional outburst.

Ruth H's avatar

Ok, thanks for your reply

steven t koenig's avatar

Not to most people. I don't mean to be rude, just pointing out that our society and culture have become coarse, and we're still doing okay. (Kind of)

Ruth H's avatar

That’s the problem. Too many just accept this language as okay. It is not.

Upinthehills's avatar

It matters to me too. 🙏🏻❤️

steven t koenig's avatar

Okay, I found out. Now what should I do? Free Ohio?

Heidi Kulcheski's avatar

That's the problem Steven, although I know you meant no harm, Ruth is correct, it should matter and we be a much healthier Society if it did matter.

Dr Amelia R Cohn's avatar

OMG how on earth could anyone get a gun into that dinner?

frank's avatar

He was evidently stopped at the metal detectors and fired off a few in the lobby before apprehension/neutralization.

Mick's avatar

They don't realize it but all these assassination attempts are normalizing the killing of current and former presidents and politicians. When it comes back to haunt them they won't be able to say this is outrageous as people will say no it isn't.

SueB's avatar

It will never be normal to me

Benton's avatar

The Democrats, most recently Chis Murphy and Van Holland, have been encouraging this of late not just in the US but on foreign soil as in Spain last week. It is unconscionable!

Martin Rossol's avatar

You are on top of it, Sasha. Appreciated.

Mark Kennedy's avatar

The press has been assassinating Trump in print daily for a decade. How many of the activists currently masquerading themselves as journalists would be heartbroken if someone decided to follow their lead?

Benton's avatar

You are now seeing for the 3rd time the whole point of the extreme rhetoric of the Democrats, almost to a person, which is intended to motivate some unstable person to commit the ultimate act. This is the point of demonstrations like “no kings”, to stir people, mostly unstable, to do things. It’s not rocket science. Think about it intellectually, these demonstrations have no express demands, are not organic, but organized for no specific express objective, but to incite. These demonstrations are organized and paid for from afar.

Kathleen's avatar

When will the leftist hatred ever stop???

Imagine the outrage if a single attempt was made on a Democrat president

Sick of the double standard

R H's avatar

When we re-open the insane asylums.

michael holt's avatar

Sasha, my first notice of the Butler shooting was an email from you. Bad memories.

I was at the beach with my adult children all of whom were Biden/Kamala supporters. It was our first day of beach vacation.

I shared your news with them, but they didn't care.

It was a very lonely experience for me.

I'm glad this event turned out differently...for now.

PapayaSF's avatar

Reddit is already filled with people declaring it staged. The TDS view is that Trump is Hitler but all assassination attempts are fake.

Teresa Jura's avatar

Thankfully president Trump is ok
