I have not shuffled off this mortal coil, I've just been distracted. There is a new cat in the yard, which displeases me. It's stalking the birds, scaring the rabbits, and eventually will probably kill the baby quail. It wasn't here when we went to Tucson.
Maybe a coyote will eat it.
The attempted assassination has turned out to be a nothing burger. Here are two paragraphs from Joyce Carol Oates on twitter.
They tracked him, observed him, a mentally ill person whose brother had informed on him the day before; they waited for him to "attempt to assassinate the US president" --(who was, in fact, on another floor & nowhere near)--firing shots wildly & one of these "friendly fire" shots striking the bullet-proof vest of one of their own; with much fanfare they tackled the mentally ill person whom they'd been tracking, charging this hapless person with "attempting to assassinate the president of the US." but all did not go perfectly on script since, in being hustled out of the ballroom upstairs, the US President had no time to raise his fist bravely crying "Fight! Fight" but tripped & fell heavily to the floor & several persons were required to lift his heft, & hoist away to safety backstage.
As a radiologist may set two X-rays side by side to examine, we can see now, placing Butler PA & the WH correspondents incident side by side, that the same scenario was planned in each instance; in the first, the would-be assassin was in clear view for some minutes on a rooftop, before violence broke out; more recently, the would-be assassin (for whom Secret Service officers were waiting) was apprehended before he could draw a weapon & shoot--before he was anywhere near his alleged targets. considering this, it might seem that Butler PA was bungled & that no one was intended to be shot let alone killed; the D.C. event may have been bungled too but at least no one died & of many present, only RFK Jr's abandoned wife suffered a public humiliation.
There is still a lack of clarity of about when SS was notified about a possible shooter. There are other questions. Cole Thomas arrived in the area where law enforcement was hanging around, picking their cuticles. Cole arrived, walked through a door that did not go to the screening area. The K9 in the area alerted on Cole twice. In each case, the handler pulled the dog off and apologized to Cole for the dog's response. Then Cole came back out, and sprinted through the security area. Law enforcement was able to wound one of their own, and Cole tripped and fell down. Cole never fired a weapon.
This is a photo of 47 after SS was yelling "shots fired." Does he look in the least bit concerned?
47 has confirmed that it was him watching the performative evacuation of the Correspondents' Dinner. It's not credible that SS allowed this. They always check for more shooters.
This was faked. I really believe this.
In other news, the Supreme Court said gerrymandering for partisan purposes is fine. Louisiana's governor cancelled the House primaries that were already in progress for the mid-terms. This was a stupid decision, and will have long term bad results.
The Strait of Hormuz is still closed. A large percentage of US farmers do not have fertilizer for spring planting. It's not available, it's in the strait.
The kill switch is coming. Surveillance on the driver of cars built after 2027 will decide if the driver is fit to start the car. If it doesn't like what is sees, the car will not shift into drive.
The controversy over "kill switch" technology began in 2021, when Congress passed the HALT Drunk Driving Act as part of the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law. The provision requires that "advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology"—which the bill defined as a system that can "passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired" and "prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if an impairment is detected"—be installed in new cars. Such systems could involve driver eye tracking, a feature already built into some cars.
This is kind of bad if you're fleeing a rapist, a tornado, or a fire. This is not getting a lot of coverage in main stream media. Call your congress critters and yell at them. Article is here.
I would like to close with this.
