House GOP Host Forum on Trump's Attempted Assassination with @Heritage: Clips Thread 🧵

1) Rep. Eli Crane to @dbongino: “In your opinion, is the Secret Service in a better spot today with Director Rowe in charge?"

Bongino: "No. It's worse….You think this is the last incident? You're out of your mind."
2) Rep. Eli Crane to @realErikDPrince: In your professional opinion, is the Secret Service in its current form and leadership able to stop a threat like that?

Prince: "President Trump was definitely deprived of resources that day for whatever the political reason. They had one third the amount of agents covering him as were covering Jill Biden in the same region at an indoor event. She had 12 post holders covering her. Again, no statutory or constitutional authority for the first lady. Donald J. Trump had four Secret Service agents assigned."
Adding more clips shorty...
Counter Sniper Ben Shaffer, who was working the rally in Butler, explains that local LEO offered encrypted radios to the Secret Service, but they were not taken.
4) @RepMattGaetz asks @dbongino about the possibility of “malice” being a factor in the security catastrophe of J13:

Bongino: "I don't think I put this out yet, but I'll put it out there now... it appears that for the first time in American history, we have a secret Service that is making decisions that may not be all political, but may have a political tinge to them."
5) @RepMattGaetz: “What Mr. Bongino just said ought to be the most important work of the United States Congress to figure out if these decisions were run of the mill incompetence...but if it's something even darker and more devious than that, that must be rooted out."
6) @RepEliCrane to @realErikDPrince: "A lot of Americans believe that this was possibly an inside job...you have an interesting take on that where you really don't believe that."

Prince: "You're right. There is a long list of ways that one political party has weaponized all aspects of government in our society against their political opponent…but I don't think this was a grand conspiracy."

"Our problem is we have a federal government that doesn't have any accountability in any way, shape or form. And I push back on you in Congress to affect the bureaucracy, the one way that they care. Cut their damn budget, starve them out. Nothing else will get their attention other than their starvation."

MI Sec of State Jocelyn Benson:

- Refuses to remove RFK Jr from the ballot
- Tried to remove Cornel West from the ballot
- Opened an investigation into Musk-backed, pro-Trump PAC
- Awarded The Presidential Citizens Medal by Biden for “protecting the integrity of elections” in 2023

Benson is a partisan hack doing everything in her power to tilt the scales in favor of her party candidate in Michigan.
Benson tried to remove West from the ballot beacuse that would be a negative for Kamala — but judge ruled West to stay on.

Fmr. Obama Nat. Sec. Advisor and deep-state operator Susan Rice has weighed in with the central Kamala campaign messaging: divisive identity politics and propaganda to miscast opposition to DEI.

"They’re basically trying to dehumanize her and all of us…if you're not a white Christian male, then any success you've had, you've got, without merit, because of some unfair preference."

They dehumanized Trump to the point of an assass*nation attempt, but they want you to forget that.

Rice is best known for lying about Benghazi, “unmasking” Trump campaign associates and being a key player in the targeting of Michael Flynn — is now also alleged to be leading efforts to implement Executive Order 14019.
Rice lying about the Benghazi attack:
Per Rep. Claudia Tenney, Rice has been tasked with registering illegals to vote as part of Executive Order 14019.

.@dbongino on newly-resigned Secret Service Director: “This is about to get so much worse…this is not over for Kim Cheatle."

Bongino says a documentation trail exists regarding requested additional resources denied to Trump’s security detail, and Cheatle will be unable to hide from it:

BONGINO: “Folks, this thing is about to get so much worse. I'm telling you, there is an email trail and white papers out there, a long email trail documenting multiple security enhancements, requests for the DTD, Donald Trump protective detail that were rebuffed and denied. Kim Cheatle is never, ever going to be able to hide from."

"And what happened? I want all of her communications, both before and after, business wise, conducted on a personal device in potential violation of administrative and possibly other rules and regulations for the Secret Service. This is not over for Kim Cheadle. And while we're at it, here's another Winky Winky nod, nod. Maybe you should ask Kim Cheatle if she's ever communicated on encrypted apps outside of her government device, government email or government texting capabilities."

"Everybody taking notes, taking notes in Congress about the cocaine scandal at the white House and the missing January 6th texts, too. I'm just going to throw that out there. This is your home for breaking news. Maybe you should ask her that under oath."

What is Executive Order 14019?

How it’s billed: A non-partisan GOTV operation calling for “all of government” effort to register voters.

What it is: An ‘election interference scheme’ that uses your tax dollars to register Democrat voters in swing states.

🧵Thread.🧵

This thread will borrow heavily from the incredible work done on this by Heritage’s @oversightPR.

They have been sounding the alarm on “Biden Bucks” for a long time. This thread is an effort to help amplify their work — adding contextual video in order to provide a concise, nuts-and-bolts understanding of how this is manifesting in the 2024 election.

One of Oversight Project’s main threads laying this out can be found here.

Joe Biden announced the EO on March 7, 2021. He invokes January 6, Bloody Sunday, John Lewis and Republican-led voter security measures (voter suppression!) to make the case that there should be an all of government approach to registering voters.

In process of pulling clips for an upcoming video, and came across this “good ol’ working class Joe, a man of the people" clip from the 2020 campaign.

You can see Joe's blood boiling and his veins popping as he gets ready to bully this man in front of a crowd for daring to question him about Hunter and his age.

Highly relative questions, as it turns out.

Joe berated, belittled and attempted to humiliate this working class guy for asking questions he didn’t like.

This is who he really is.

‘You’re a damn liar."
*Challenges him to push ups*
*Lies about Hunter*
“Get your words straight, Jack."
“Look, fat, here’s the deal."
“You’re too old to vote for me."

Joe Biden: A real hero of the working man. A real sweetheart.

Also: His mental decline since this 2019 clip is rather stark.
Let’s also remember that — of course — Joe lied afterwards and said he didn’t call the guy fat. Image

Anatomy of a Hoax: The Doomed Voyage of the Biden ‘Cheap Fake’ Narrative.

🧵A thread. 🧵
2/19

First of all, where did the term “cheap fake” originate?

I was surprised to find that this term was coined by “disinformation researchers” Britt Paris and Joan Donovan way back in 2019.

Sunmary of their research here.

“Like many past media technologies, deepfakes and cheap fakes have jolted traditional rules around evidence and truth, and trusted institutions must step in to redefine those boundaries.”

To save Democracy, of course.Image

The credentials and political leanings of Paris and Donovan should not come as any surprise.

The Nation. Harvard “Disinformation” studies.
