President Trump hasn't been to a Correspondence dinner since before his first inauguration.
J.D Vance, Wycoff, Bessent, and possibly others were scheduled to go to Pakistan that got called off just hours before the dinner event.
Karoline is due any day to have a baby and if not for Trump attending, she probably wouldn't be there either.
In fact, I believe almost all the Cabinet members and Senators and Reps were there because Trump said he was going to the dinner.

How many Hilton Hotels have electrometers, Secret Service, imbedded law enforcement sitting among the attendees, on an average day?
If Trump had not attended would this much caution had been taken for only journalists attending?

California to D.C. At least 3-5 days travel by vehicle. This guy travelled on a train.

The train journey from California to Washington, DC typically takes around 64 to 81 hours, depending on the route and connections.

He booked a room at the hotel.
He was very well known in Ca. Teacher of the month, protested in the No King's protests. Uses He/Him pronouns.
I wouldn't be surprised if the FBI didn't have him on their radar and knew he was heading to DC.

Ask yourself, if you know someone is going to travel a long distance to take out anyone cabinet member or other associated with Trump.
Why would you deliberately change your plans to attend, call off peace talks in Pakistan, if you maybe had some awareness that a lone wolf was on the loose?

If it had not been for Trump and company and the immense security at the Hilton,
What might have happened to all those unsuspecting journalists just eating crabmeat and halibut and enjoying Trump getting roasted?


Intervention?

I wonder.

He should have insisted that the dinner continue after security cleared the building

As to not let the bad guys disrupt things ya know.

That's what the old timers would have done.
That's bravado, which I'm generally in favor. However, this goes against protocol. While I'm not privy to how the protocol was developed, we have to trust those with the authority to create protocol have good reason to do what they do.

One can think of reasons to pause the event:
  1. The crime scene can be inadvertantly contaminated by the guests.
  2. While investigated the crime scene, law enforcement are distracted from their primary mission of protecting VIP's, making it easier for another assassin in the event the first one is not a lone wolf.
  3. One officer was shot, meaning the staff levels were reduced, making it imprudent to continue.
  4. Knowledge of PTSD may suggest even for POTUS, it's better to have immediate down time to decompress and process what happened and what could have happened.

He was a die hard extremist leftist. His manifesto said he would shoot everyone except Kash Patel, and Patel is not white, so he was racially motivated as well as anti-Trump. The far left is saying 'whiteness' is bad. So for them, most of the US run by 'whiteness', is also evil.

This far leftist dogma wont stop, but will get worse.

The media has been going after Kash hard for the last couple weeks because he is doing his job.
So this guy just happens to leave out Kash as a target, why?
For the very reaction you just gave.
Ammunition ..oh look he left out Kash, so Kash must be in on it.
Impeach Him !! Impeach Him!!

Kash is doing a good job. Unlike Christopher Wray, Kash is going after the bad guys.

That's why the secret service should have shot him in the head and be done with it.

Yep and if this keeps up it may become open season on liberals someday.

They should be careful what they wish for as many on the right would like to start shooting liberals.

Yeah, in between drunken stupors :rolleyes:

Of course the baby killers will claim Trump hired the shooter so he could make a better case for the ballroom.

The left is a clown show that continues to entertain badly.

I read a lot of the comments alongside YT videos. Yes the ones with TDS are claiming that. That is so ridiculous...someone getting hired so they might possibly be shot dead?! I mentioned that to one guy... didn't hear back. They don't use their brains.

You have evidence of such claims or are you just parroting the he said she said crowd?
Someone close, an unknown source, some who wants to remain unanimous, who?

This is the year 2026. There are exactly 2 times in Patel's history that he has been arrested for intoxication.

Kash Patel was arrested twice in his youth for alcohol-related incidents: once for public intoxication and once for public urination.

Details of the Arrests​

Kash Patel, the current FBI Director, disclosed in a 2005 letter to the Florida Bar that he had two alcohol-related arrests during his early adulthood. The first occurred in 2001 while he was an undergraduate at the University of Richmond in Virginia. Patel was arrested for public intoxication after consuming two drinks at a basketball game, where he was part of a student fan group. He was escorted out by campus police and later paid a fine for the misdemeanor charge.
https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=5762...XRlbnRpb24tYXJ0aWNsZS0xMzg5OTIyNy5odG1s&ntb=1
The second incident took place in 2005 while Patel was a law student at Pace University in New York City. After a night out with friends at local bars, Patel and his companions attempted to relieve themselves in public while walking home. They were stopped by police, and Patel was arrested for public urination. He subsequently paid a fine and described the incident as a “gross deviation from appropriate conduct” and not representative of his usual behavior.

Context and Disclosures


Both arrests were disclosed voluntarily by Patel in his Florida Bar application and personnel file at the Miami-Dade Public Defender’s Office. He emphasized that these incidents were anomalies and apologized for his behavior, noting that they were not reflective of his typical conduct.

Recent Scrutiny

These past arrests resurfaced in 2026 amid allegations reported by The Atlantic regarding Patel’s alleged excessive drinking and erratic behavior. Patel has denied current alcohol-related misconduct and filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic, asserting that he has never been intoxicated on the job. The resurfacing of these historical incidents has also prompted congressional inquiries and public debate about his suitability as FBI Director.

Yeah and they claim "there's no proof the 2020 election was stolen"

And if you ask them for proof of their claim that Trump hired this guy to try and shoot up the place they get all upset and have to go home crying to mommie to make them some hot chocolate and let them pet the little puppies in their safe space :Broadly:

There's videos out on the net showing him getting quite happy on the booze so it's pretty obvious he partakes a little too much.

Which for those who are not Christians is not that uncommon and is not really a big problem if they can do their job well and aren't letting their drunkenness get in the way of their work.

One doesn't have to get in to a lot of trouble with the law to be a drunk.

I used to be a drunk back in the day and I never got arrested for it even once.

For Christians it's sinful behavior, so everyone else it's what many do in the evenings and on weekend is get drunk!

Your boy Patel is no saint you know. You kinda talk like he's an idol of yours or something. Weird.

I mean I support the guy just because he's a conservative on the issues but lots of conservatives are drunks and do other bad things so it's not like one is a saint just because they are politically conservative

Former head of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk, shared his thoughts on the situation on X. He wrote in a bleak and chilling statement, "If they're willing to die to assassinate, imagine what they will do if they gain political power."

Democrats love these attacks on Trump, so Norah O’Donnell reads the salacious parts of the assassinators manifesto.
They truly believe that is who Trump is and desire to take him down, if not with bullets then with words. They are of the same mind of agreement as anyone who shoots at the president.


President Trump berated CBS News correspondent Norah O’Donnell after she quoted parts of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting suspect’s alleged manifesto, branding her a “disgrace” and saying she should be ashamed of herself.

Trump lashed out at the journalist during his “60 Minutes” interview Sunday night — hours after it emerged that alleged gunman Cole Allen penned a 1,052-word missive stating he believed it was his righteous duty to target Trump administration officials.

The president became particularly irked when O’Donnell quoted Allen’s alleged words directly, saying, “I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.”

“Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you’re horrible people,” Trump told O’Donnell after being asked for his reaction.

“Horrible people. Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.”

“Do you think he was referring to you?” O’Donnell asked.

“I’m not a pedophile,” Trump emphatically told the journalist. “You read that crap from some sick person? I got associated with all … stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated.

“Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, let’s say, [Jeffrey] Epstein or other things. But I said to myself, ‘You know, I’ll do this interview and they’ll probably…’ I read the manifesto. You know, he’s a sick person. But you should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I’m not any of those things.”

O’Donnell tried to tell Trump she was just quoting the shooter’s alleged words, but Trump branded her “disgraceful.”

“You shouldn’t be reading that on ’60 Minutes.’ You’re a disgrace. But go ahead. Let’s finish the interview,” he said.

O’Donnell then tried to move the interview on to another part of Allen’s alleged manifesto — before Trump interjected, once again calling the journalist “disgraceful.”

Trump has never been charged with any crime relating to disgraced financier and infamous pedophile Epstein.

Exodus 23:1 You shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, [l]sexual immorality, wickedness, [m]covetousness, [n]maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 [o]undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, [p]unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

I don't have idols.
I'm just tired of people jumping to whatever the narrative spin is of the day.
I don't use alcohol, but I believe there is no law against using it recreationally. People go to parties and events sometimes drink more than they should.
The allegations of him drinking on the job are simply allegations until proven.
Politics is a nasty game. All they have to do is say somebody said or did something, tell it to the press, the press runs with it, and it becomes fact with no proof, all because somebody said something.

I believe Nancy Pelosi explained it as The Wrap up Smear.

I voted for the policies, not the man. I do not know the man. I do however appreciate his willingness to go against the fake media.
Illegal immigration is not illegal. Guns kill people. Nuclear weapons are not an immanent threat.
The tricks are getting dirtier and it will persist until one side is defeated.
I don't see any chance of "unity" between either side.
We will not compromise on our principles and morals, and they will not compromise on eating hate as their main meal.

So we have a choice. We can get upset about it or we can just live our lives and be the best that we can be towards each other.
Live peaceably as much as is possible as Paul would say.

Rom 12:18
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Just remember, whoever your opponent is, whether left or right, not only will they be judged for their words and actions so will the other side.

It's a crazy world folks, and it's going to get crazier, just remember to keep that armor of God clean and sharp.

No unity ever will happen between the 2 parties. I have heard people talk of the 'uniparty', claiming dems and republicans are the same, but deep down they are completely the opposite to each other, and always have been.

The allegations of him drinking on the job are simply allegations until proven.

One doesn't have to be a day drinker to be a drunk.

There's the video of him not too long ago going to some sporting event in Europe (at tax payer's expense) where he was in the local room after the game with the players guzzling down beer like a college frat boy.

It's a very bad look for the head of the FBI doing this. If he were actually a professional law enforcement officer he would be acting like one by being professional in the public eye and keep his drunken stupors behind closed door like others in the public eye. The smart ones who are in the public eye at least keep their drunken stupors private as to not give their detractors ammo to use against them like Patel has done.

All he is doing is contributing to the dems story line that conservatives are not qualified which is slow, really slow to be giving them ammo like that. Trump is slow for picking someone who doesn't know how to act as a professional, but then Trump doesn't know how to act like a professional more times than not either so I guess this is par for course for the end times regardless of which political party they belong to.

Romans 1:28-32
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.


No unity ever will happen between the 2 parties. I have heard people talk of the 'uniparty', claiming dems and republicans are the same, but deep down they are completely the opposite to each other, and always have been.

And yet the "uniparty" frequently produces the same results making it a non issue in many cases concerning which party is in power.

In the end both conservatives and liberals will both be bowing down to the coming one world government and shredding the US Constitution in doing so.

So because we might give democrats ammunition to attack someone (like they need anything to accuse people of anything) we should all stop living and start dying as to not offend them?
He was celebrating a win with the U.S Men's Hockey Team in the 2026 Winter Olympics.

I have seen worse on the other side of the aisle, but we shouldn't discuss that.
It's neither here nor there.

People are going to be offended even when there is no offence to be found.
It is what it is.

Uniparty is when a Republican In Name Only (RINO) behaves like a democrat and a Democrat in Name Only (DINO) behaves like a Republican.
Because many of the players are in the scams together on both sides of the aisle.
