GOP Members Want Trump Apology For Racist Clip Of Obamas He Shared—Then Deleted

The video has been met with condemnation from Republican leaders, including Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., who called it “the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.” Before the video was removed, Scott—the Senate’s only Black republican—called for its deletion, as did Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., who said the clip “is totally unacceptable.” Sen. Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., said “a reasonable person sees the racist context to this,” with Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., calling it “wrong and incredibly offensive.”

And why did Trump delete it if there was nothing wrong with it? Fake outrage, indeed.

Did you hear a man tried to break into Mar-a-Lago early Sunday morning carrying a shotgun and a gas canister? Secret Service agents shot and killed him. Trump was not there at the time.

Family of man, 21, shot dead by police at Mar-a-Lago express disbelief: ‘We are big Trump supporters, all of us’

The 21-year-old man shot and killed by Secret Service agents after allegedly attempting to break into President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in the early hours of Sunday came from a family of “avid Trump supporters,” according to a relative.

The FBI confirmed the suspect was Austin Tucker Martin, who entered the premises at the resort’s north gate armed with a shotgun and a gas canister around 1:30 a.m. Sunday.

I'd quibble with the family's claim. It doesn't look like all of them were big Trump supporters. Unless... *conspiracy theories intensify"

Armed Man Shot Dead at Mar-a-Lago Was Fixated on Epstein Files, Text Shows

The armed man shot and killed by Secret Service agents outside President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property Sunday had grown increasingly obsessed with the Epstein files and was also a vocal supporter of Trump … TMZ has learned.

www.tmz.com

Sources who worked with Austin at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club in North Carolina tell TMZ ... he became fixated on Epstein following the latest release of information tied to the files. Co-workers tell us he was deeply disturbed by what he believed was a government cover-up and often talked about powerful people "getting away with it."

At the same time, Austin was outspoken about his Christian faith and political views. We're told he regularly expressed support for Trump, telling colleagues as recently as late last year he believed Trump was a strong leader.

We may never know what he thought he was going to accomplish, but, at least on the surface, he seems like he might be one of those folks who get what seems to them to be a heroic idea in their head without a shred of practicality, requisite knowledge, or plain old good sense to go with it. Some cockamamie notion like he was going to demonstrate how vulnerable Mar-a-Lago is or .....well, goodness knows. Maybe he was going to commit suicide to make whatever his point was. Maybe a flaming suicide, Buddhist monk style, with the shotgun to stop anyone who tried to rescue him? He bought that shotgun on the way to the scene of the crime, and no doubt the gas can as well. I think his brother said he didn't even know anything about guns. I don't think he got in much practice between wherever he bought the gun and the end of his story. This was not a guy with a whole lot of intention to do harm to others. I wonder if the poor guy even managed to load the gun.

It wasn't exactly Criminal Mastermind plotting and scheming if it was an assassination attempt, so I think it was probably something else.

He was quite young, just 21 years old. That's the age that schizophrenia can appear and begin to disorder behavior. When otherwise seemingly normal young men go off the rails, that's one of the first things I think of.

Trump’s Favorite Judge Covers Up Jack Smith’s Classified Docs Report

Aileen Cannon is making sure that we never learn everything Jack Smith had on Donald Trump.

newrepublic.com

Judge Aileen Cannon just barred the Department of Justice from releasing the second volume of former special counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump.

In a 15-page order Monday, Cannon approved two motions to block the public release of Volume II of Smith’s report, writing that its release would “plainly offend” her original dismissal order and the “substantial discovery” held under a protective order.

Releasing the report “would cause irreparable damage to former defendants from disclosure of non-public discovery material implicating still-contested grand jury and privilege concerns; and it would contravene basic notions of fairness and justice in the process, where no adjudication of guilt has been reached following initiation of criminal charges,” she wrote.

So in summary, no one can read the report until the defendant is incapable of being harmed by what's in it i.e. dead.
