Daily Beast Editor Who Booked Room Next to WHCA Dinner Shooting Suspect Says ‘Nobody Even Looked at My Luggage’

Mali defence minister killed amid flurry of insurgent attacks

youtu.be/MhFZfcgBjNQ?... Shows the newest Lego video in case you missed it.

Former CIA Officer Larry Johnson confirms top US military commanders are actively refusing orders from the Trump administration to attack Iran. The Pentagon brass knows it will create a massive disaster. A full military revolt is brewing in Washington.

It's transition time here..leaving summer heading into Winter aka rainy season. This stuff is expected but damn!! I moved into this open-air cabin with a tin roof in 2013 and I'll never get used to the thunder and lightning storms. So friggen scarry and loud!

Omfg!!!! Lightning hit a few feet from where I was standing..near the outside railing of my cabin. I saw a white flash..more deaf now too. Got hysterical a few mins after the fact. I was outside putting groceries away..the table is super close to the railing..it was just raining and then..fuck

Yes, there were clouds on the horizon. It was weird though because I couldn't see any clouds and then the moon started looking really weird...figured it out!

At first I was asking what the heck an aardvark moon was .. then I got it. Then I had the serious question .. what is causing it ... I can't see anything that would/is blocking those portions of the moon? I probably should be able to figure it out but I am currently dumbfounded.

Wow! Incredible!

“Gunfire of the Vanities”! If only Tom Wolfe was still alive. His biting satire and masterful use of language would have gone a long way to making the last decade more bearable.. and may have helped avert the worst of it.

Former MAGA Influencer Says MAGA Response to WHCD Shooting Is ‘Paid’ And Coordinated

Do they really think they’ll kill the Allatolah and walk away? Iran already put out the hit, just because they haven’t acted doesn’t mean they aren’t going to eventually. They’ll likely do it after 2028 when security is more relaxed for Trump and co. They were very specific about their intent.

WTF? Trump says five to eight gunshots sounded like a tray. A tray. What the hell is wrong with him? Inquiring minds want to know."

Speaking from elsewhere on the globe: the only ongoing global outbreak is in the US,where people are apparently too stupid to ignore the health advice of a guy who guys penises off roadkill for fun…

RFK Jr. was pressed on Capitol Hill over the measles surge. More than 1,700 cases already in 2026—a 675% increase. He dismissed it as a “global outbreak" and called criticism "partisan." But for many families, this isn't politics. It's real life. New from ELLA on MeidasTouch.

Does Trump plan to live the rest of his days in the ballroom? That shit isn’t going to secure anything. Iran will probably try to kill him and other admin members for the remainder of their miserable lives. They clocked them in already.

Here are some of the highlights to cite Donald Trump himself when MAGA screeches about the rhetoric from Democrats: (A long thread of his quotes)

Can we go back to discussuing the covering up of a huge elite pedo ring, by this admin, and not yet another distraction.

Or maybe trump could not go to places you deem to be "unsafe". He should probably stop going to MAL nearly every weekend, too. As he noted in a comment, travel is very expensive. Not to mention it's a predictable pattern which seems like a security concern.

Guarantee Trump won't talk about him again. He never talks about supposed assassination attempts.

" ... yesterday's narrow miss ... " Despite what so many journalists who attended want us to believe, there was no threat to him or anyone else. The shooter NEVER EVEN MADE IT TO THE FLOOR THE BALLROOM WAS ON!!!

You’d think the acting AG would be prioritizing justice after an apparent mass shooting attempt involving top officials in our government, but he seems more focused on getting Donald Trump’s ballroom built—something that has nothing to do with last night’s event.

Read "14 Confirmed Dead, at Least 38 Others Injured, Including 5 Children, After Explosive Device Goes Off on Bus" on SmartNews: l.smartnews.com/p-7BTDVMLS/H... OMG... 😢💔

You do not need a ballroom to protect you if you are out in the open golfing every weekend while we pay millions of dollars for you to do it🙄🙄🙄 oh yeah and stop your smirking Maga

I call bullshit!

Go Braves!

Someone bennyhilled it 🤣🤣🤣

Hezbollah rejects allegations from Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu that it is undermining the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire.

I’d rather spend taxpayer money on bunkers in schools than another bunker for Donald Trump.

The brother of the alleged WHCD shooter, Cole Tomas Allen, reportedly alerted the New London, Connecticut police about his manifesto. Was there yet another total security failure by Kash Patel and his FBI and/or the Secret Service?

Perhaps bro and MAGA shouldn’t have praised cutting staffing for the people who keep the president safe while screeching for a bunker ballroom.

The same dude that gutted personnel everywhere else now acts all outraged when the slimmed down security detail has a breach at the Washington Hilton? And tries to blame Democrats? Cont…

Lemme get this straight… Elon Musk and his DOGE clown show axed hundreds of Secret Service and DHS staff for “efficiency…” Then an armed gunman waltzes past the outer perimeter at the WHCD with a shotgun, handgun, and knives? Cont…

Russia and China are helping Iran during Donald’s unnecessary war, and he’s trying to minimize it. Trump repeatedly praises Xi and Putin. He eased sanctions on Russian oil. Tell me again how bro cares about the safety of our troops? 🙄

Weird how no registered Democrats have tried to physically harm Donald Trump, yet MAGA keeps screeching about Butler (a registered Republican), the guy in the bushes at Mar-a-Lago (a registered independent), and the guy at the WHCD (registered without party affiliation).
