Crafting Speed from the Past

I am finding this video to be fascinating in that it is like reading one of those old 1950's Popular Mechanics magazines and watching one of their articles become reality.

This guy takes an old motorcycle engine, an air-cooled V-twin, supercharges it, and builds a lightweight speedboat shell for it, then takes it out for a spin.

Comedy for the Week - or the Weak?

Some would and virtually have accused me of a weak mind. So from down in that gutter comes today's comedy:

From Tulsi today:

Word has come out that Donald Trump will work with Tulsi to prepare for his TV "debate" with Kamala Harris, considering Tulsi's 2020 debate with her.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain suspicious doubts against this woman.

Trump Rally Shooting - Piecing the Puzzle Together

For the most part, the attempted assassination (execution?) of Donald Trump a month ago in Butler Pennsylvania has been swept into the memory hole but a few dedicated citizens are still trying to fit the pieces together. Most of the new evidence is from body cam and dash cam video from local law enforcement.

I think this guy - YouTube channel jeffostroff - is doing an amazing job of piecing the puzzle together, listening to those who comment on his videos, following new leads, and accurately presenting what he has discovered.

In this video dated yesterday he tracks the shooter's movements as seen on multiple cameras while he crossed the roof of the AGR building complex. If you think law enforcement only had a few seconds to react, think again and watch this video:

Trump Shooting: Officer Greg Nicol Suspicious Timeline?

Until federal officials stop keeping secrets, the question still remains unanswered: Why wasn't Donald Trump removed from the stage? They had plenty of time. Why was he left there as an unprotected target?

Watching Tulsi

Whistleblowers are reporting that Tulsi Gabbard, former Democrat, presidential candidate for the Democrat nomination in 2020, current Army Reserves member, former US House of Representatives member from Hawaii, current author and critic of the Democrat Party, is on a terrorist watch list:

Tulsi Gabbard On Terrorist Watchlist

While I would agree that anybody who would use the powers of government to do this as a political threat belongs in prison, not to mention losing any government benefits they may have accrued, I still have mixed feelings about this. While I would agree that there is just about a zero probability that Tulsi Gabbard is a terrorist, she is a military person who does not fear reprisal for openly criticizing the Commander in Chief of the US military whether that be Joe Biden or Donald Trump before him. I have been a critic of her slanderous words against Donald Trump in 2020. Yet I think she deserves praise for speaking the truth about the Democrats.

I wonder, knowing the mindset of the current Biden-Harris-Obama White House, if it might be that if they frame her as a terrorist, it will destroy her military career. You can't have terrorists in the military, right? So expect that to happen and expect it to be a fatal blow to her political use of her military status.

Just me, my perspective, of course, but that's how the White House operates now so yeah, why not this? It's political theater.

Because she's a woman:

Apparently that's all it takes.

The Illusive Ladder(s) Resolved (?)

 This is a continuation of my project to solve the mysteries involving ladders at the Trump rally shooting in Butler, PA back on July 13. Officials have been excessively slow in releasing video that explains mysteries how Forest Gump evaded Deputy Phife and Gomer Pile that day.

Here's my most recent update to this saga:

The Illusive Ladder(s) Part 3

Two recent videos have added so much to this story that I now have a much better understanding of how our dear idol Forest Gump managed to reach his perch including body-cam footage from the police guy that got boosted to where he could peek up the roof and see Crooks with his gun at which point this policeman jumped back down, apparently feeling threatened by the shooter. This video confirms that this took place less than a minute before olde Forest started shooting. Early stories came out and were never refuted that this officer was injured in his fall but if he was, it didn't slow him down much. He did some running around. Anyway, body-cam footage from the policeman:

BREAKING! Body Camera - Officers Confront Thomas Crooks!

Interestingly enough, this policeman was boosted up in exactly the spot where the ten-foot stepladder was later seen in Sky News helicopter footage. So that stepladder wasn't there when this happened. Dear olde Forest Gump did not have that ladder to help him onto the roof.

So both ladders visible in the Sky News video have been accounted for. Now the question is how did this Crooks shooter (Forest Gump) get onto the roof.

That too may have been resolved in a drone survey that this next video reviews in some detail:

 How Did He Get on Roof?

This video speaks for itself. Believe it or not, but Forest Gump should have been able to easily pull this stunt off.

Update August 10:

This is the most thorough collection of bodycam footage of laddergate that I have yet seen. Here's when the ladders arrived and were set up:

The Illusive Ladder(s) Part 3

More great analysis concerning the ladders that law enforcement used to get onto the roof that the shooter was on at the Butler Farm Show Trump shooting on July 13. One of the commenters insisted that there had been a video online where the shooter was carrying his short ladder and his gun and you could see him climbing onto the roof using his ladder while the spectators were shouting he's got a gun. But this video doesn't mention that angle of the story. I hadn't heard anything about that scene before this commentor.

Trump Shooter Ladder Controversy Why the Cover Up?

This video clearly shows the ten-foot stepladder at 6:27 seen from the Sky News helicopter sometime after the shooting. It also shows at 14:52 and in a freeze-frame at 14:55 that this stepladder was not in place when the SWAT team making the helmet cam video released by Senator Grasley made their way up onto the roof. So either the stepladder was put there after the Grasley team went up but before the Sky News helicopter flew over or...

or the Sky News helicopter flew over first, then the stepladder was removed, then the SWAT team Senator Grasley showed went up.

Always more questions...

I find it ironic, though, that there are no law enforcement personnel in view anywhere, especially on the roof, when the Sky News helicopter flew over.

A Unique Perspective on the Trump Shooting

Who Really Planned Trump Assassination Attempt! w/ Ian Carroll

If I recall correctly the first foreign country that Trump visited in 2017 after he was sworn in was Saudi Arabia. I remembered it because it seemed so odd to me. Then he went to Israel. Soon after in the news feeds I was following it became evident that the US policy towards Syria had changed and that Trump was done with American covert support of ISIS, Obama's American proxy against Syria's leader Bashar al-Assad.

Totally in your face, Israel which was Trump's enemy number one from that point on. From that point on South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham teetered back and forth on Trump. He was all Trump whenever Trump did something for the neo-cons but he was all for impeachment when Trump resisted.

Then again, that's all pretty much just my perspective...

Deep Dive Down the Memory Hole Today

As soon as I turned on my computer this morning and opened a news feed there was a prominent top-of-the-page story on how Ukraine had used American missiles to sink a Russian submarine and damage or destroy two of Russia's top air defense missile systems in Crimea.

American missiles, no less...

By any normal standards that was a big news story but by noontime it had vanished. I had to Google it to come up with the story. Otherwise, I would never have found it again. It's getting to be late afternoon, and the story still hasn't reappeared.

Someone has to do some serious manipulation of mainstream media to make a story that big vanish, wouldn't you agree? But just to prove it is a real story and not just a hoax or a figment of my imagination, I'll Google it again and leave a link here:

Ukraine's military says it sunk Russian Black Sea Fleet submarine, damaged S-400 missile system in 'successful hit'

Yesterday's news I guess... Already down the memory hole.

Ukraine says it sank Russian submarine in Crimea

The story I read this morning suggested that US made ATACMS missiles were used but I find no mention of that now.

I wonder why! I can understand why RT might suppress the story but why Western media?

Trump Rally Shooting - New Photos, New Ideas

If you're following any of the sleuths who have been posting videos trying to make sense of the assassination attempt, here's some new ideas and new pictures I haven't seen presented before:

NEW Dashcam Trump Shooter, 3rd Gunman? New Sniper Vid Secret Service

A lot of this is starting to make good sense to me. Check out the video at 5:16 where this guy speculates the first shot taken at Crooks likely came from -  from this SWAT team behind the stage where Trump was speaking. That's a new one.

A Genuinely Weird Talking Point

Check out this video starting at the around 27:35 if you want to see something genuinely weird:

Obama Orders Kamala: “No Shapiro, Take Walz!” | The StoneZONE w/ Roger Stone

The Left is just loaded to the brim with independently minded people who prize original thought, aren't they? They certainly aren't copycats, that's for sure! Don't miss this, 27:35 minutes into this Rumble video.

Three weeks ago it was "existential threat to democracy" right? Nearly got Trump killed didn't it? So now it's "weird". Everything is suddenly "weird". There's nothing weird about the Left. No sir. It's the Right that's weird.

Please drop Kamala Haris's laugh into the memory hole. Please?
