Sleepwalking into Chaos
Kevin McCullough
There are stories that should shake a nation awake.
And then there are stories that reveal just how deeply asleep we’ve already become.
This weekend gave us both.
According to reporting, the Hilton Hotel—a venue that has hosted high-profile political events for years—was operating largely as it always does. Open to the public. Regular guests were coming and going. Security focused primarily on the ballroom where the event was being held, not the broader facility.
That’s not speculation. That’s the standard operating posture.
Let that sink in.
After everything we’ve seen—after the escalation of threats, after the attempted assassination in Butler, after repeated warnings about lone-wolf actors—we are still treating high-value targets like it’s 1998.
What exactly are we doing?
Because the next part of this story gets worse.
