First, I note without attributing much to this, that the shooter was involved in a Black Rock commercial just a short time ago. Youtube, of course, has already banned the video of that commercial. Gee, I can’t imagine why.

As I say I don’t attribute much to that connection but in fairness it does seem to me that Blackrock would be the one to financially benefit the most with Trump out of the way. You’d have to be either a Democrat or an idiot (but I repeat myself) to not at least consider the impact of that connection.

That’s especially true considering the other questions that have popped up, considering the secret service and their initial non-involvement with that event. I can guarantee you there’s going to be Congressional investigations over this but frankly I can also guarantee you that not much will come of it. It does seem a trifle strange though, a 20-year-old guy with a rifle managing to get to a rooftop some 325 yards away from the stage without any of those security people noticing.

Another question that popped up was that the FBI managed to land the shooter’s biometrics so quickly for identification purposes, since he didn’t have any other form of ID on him. That strikes me as just a little too convenient to not be looking at it somewhat askance. My first thought was that the guy had been in the military at some point but I see no references to that. So where did this data come from?

All that said, let’s try a thought experiment. Let us say that instead of this kid taking pot shots at Donald Trump he had decided to take pot shots at Joe Biden. Does anybody suppose that we wouldn’t be seeing riots in American cities right now? Does anybody suppose that left wouldn’t be blaming Donald Trump’s supposed Nazi sympathizers for the attack?

Of course that didn’t happen. What DID happen was Trump’s campaign raised $734m on Monday alone. I’ll be interested to see the totals for Tuesday.

What also happened of course was that many among the left tried to label the event as a false flag that it was all set up by Donald Trump supporters. In the last 4 years I’ve seen an awful lot of stupid statements coming out of the left, but that one has to top everything.
