Welcome to the RedState Weekly Briefing — where we take a quick look at the week’s most viewed stories in case you missed any of them. Grab a cup of coffee (or something stronger — it’s been a helluva week), and sit down with this 21st Century Weekend Edition of your favorite (online) publication!
#1 – Shocking Report: Secret Service Resources Diverted From PA Trump Rally to Jill Biden, More Troubling Info — by Nick Arama
Crabtree said that Secret Service resources were diverted away from Trump’s rally to Jill Biden’s Pittsburgh event at the same time. She said this was done because of “agency protocol applying to Trump as a former president,” according to two of her sources within the Secret Service community.
What the heck? So what they’re saying is that because they were treating Trump just as a former president, not necessarily the current candidate with a lot of threats against him, Jill Biden was given priority over him.
That wasn’t all. Additionally, Crabtree explained from another source in the Secret Service community there were problems because the team had a lot of replacements.
#2 – LEAKED: Zoom Call Shows Joe Biden Mocking a Combat Veteran’s Service During Shockingly Disturbing Rant — by Bonchie
Of note is that Biden did not “put NATO together.” It existed and was fully functional before he took office. He also did not “put NATO back together” because it was never damaged or hindered. As to the idea that all foreign leaders in existence believe Biden is “the most effective leader in the world on foreign policy,” there’s no evidence for that, though it’s a claim the president has repeatedly made.
Regardless, it’s Biden’s shot about Crow’s Bronze Star that stands out the most. It’s not debatable that the president was mocking and belittling the representative’s service in an attempt to claim that he’s accomplished more than Crow. Biden randomly bringing up his deceased son is not at all surprising and is a familiar tick. In this case, though, the president was trying to dismiss Crow’s multiple combat tours by falsely suggesting Beau Biden had done more with his Bronze Star despite being in a non-combat role.
#3 – Roseanne Barr and Others Dunk All Over Eric Swalwell for His Disgusting Post About Trump Shooter — by Nick Arama
Then it’s also a common practice to switch party registrations to try to influence the opposing party’s race. We saw it, for example, in the case of Democrats switching to vote for Nikki Haley to stack up votes that were not for Trump. The registration therefore probably means exactly nothing.
Of course, Swalwell doesn’t say that. Why tell the whole truth when it might kill the narrative that you’re trying to sell against Republicans?
But Americans weren’t shy about dunking all over Swalwell for his effort, and he got ratioed big time. Our friends at our sister site Twitchy pointed out some of the responses.
#4 – About Those Female Secret Service Agents Protecting Trump — by Brandon Morse
When we’re dealing with the leader of the free world, or even the once and likely future leader, the question about who should be at his immediate side isn’t a question. It should be men strictly due to the biological advantages given to them by nature when it comes to physicality.
This doesn’t mean women can’t be undercover in the crowd, or among the agents around the area keeping watch. Women are very good shots so, with their eye for detail and natural slow twitch muscle fiber making them less likely to jitter or jerk while aiming, they could be very good at overwatch, just to give you one example. They could blend in with the crowd as undercover agents, as women are less likely to be suspected of being agents giving them the advantage of surprise when a suspect lets their guard down thinking they aren’t a threat.
#5 – Here’s the Astonishing Pic Taken By NYT Photographer at Trump’s Rally Which Some Believe Shows the Bullet — by Nick Arama
We should note that while some journalists are calling it the bullet, neither The New York Times nor the photographer have made that claim at this point. In the third picture on the right, you can see the blood on his hands from this ear.
Had Trump’s head been angled differently, it might have turned out very differently. Thankfully, God’s hand was on Trump, and he’s okay.
