Reminds me of a Christmas card I saw years ago:

Front:  Merry Christmas!!
Inside: December 26...it's back to Bleep You, Charlie!

I knew today Temu O'Bastard would be in December 26 mode.  Just like all the Democrats.

Democrats now stand for both the idea that words = violence, AND that violence ≠ violence.

I used to believe that the ability to hold two opposing view points in one's mind simultaneously, was a sign of high intelligence.

Now I'm thinking more of a Clinical Schizophrenia thing.

Law enforcement fired five shots at scumbag and failed to hit, much less kill him.  Time to go back to the range and practice draw and rapid fire.  The failure surely cost America millions of dollars which years of prosecution, appeals, and incarceration will cost.

It depends on what the shotgun was loaded with. It could have been a slug, large shot or even bird shot... Who knows...

I read he had said he would load it with scattershot rather than slugs as he did not want to hurt bystanders if the slug penetrated a wall.

He was such a thoughtful attempted murderer.

I read that too.  It was in the manifesto.  He doesn't say what size shot, just that he was not using slugs.

What kind of shotgun is that?

Cole Allen used a Mossberg Maverick 12-gauge pump-action shotgun in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting.  The weapon was purchased from Turner's Outdoorsman in Torrance, California, in August 2025.

Additional details:

The Mossberg Maverick has a folding stock, making it easier to conceal, and was equipped with a pistol grip and extended magazine tube.
Authorities recovered the shotgun along with a Rock Island Armory 1911 .38 caliber pistol and knives during the incident. (ai)

Secret Service Agent Shot At WHCD Was Only One To Return Fire: Affidavit

Will Upton is the Senior Politics Editor for the Daily Caller.
April 27, 2026 7:05 PM ET


A Secret Service officer allegedly shot by the suspect charged with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump during the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) Dinner this past weekend was the only agent to return fire, according to an official affidavit filed in federal court on Monday.

The affidavit, filed as part of the criminal complaint against Cole Allen — charged with the transportation of a firearm and ammunition in interstate commerce with intent to commit a felony, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, and attempt to assassinate the U.S. president — details the moments leading up to the attack and the actions of the Secret Service officer only identified as “V.G.”

According to the affidavit, “[a]t approximately 8:40 p.m., ALLEN approached a security checkpoint on the Terrace Level of the hotel leading to the location of the dinner.”

“ALLEN approached and ran through the magnetometer holding a long gun. As he did so, U.S. Secret Service personnel assigned to the checkpoint heard a loud gunshot. U.S. Secret Service Officer V.G. was shot once in the chest; Officer V.G. was wearing a ballistic vest at the time,” the filing states. “Officer V.G. drew his service weapon and fired multiple times at ALLEN, who fell to the ground and suffered minor injuries but was not shot. ALLEN was subsequently arrested.”

The affidavit, signed by an unidentified Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) special agent, does not state that any other security officers in the vicinity of Allen discharged their weapons, suggesting that it was only “Officer V.G.” who fired several rounds at the suspect. According to the filing, the Secret Service officer only discharged his weapon after being shot himself. The document further states that the suspect “fell to the ground and suffered minor injuries but was not shot. ALLEN was subsequently arrested.”

I really don't understand this. Allen should have had more holes in him than ten pounds of Swiss cheese.

At least one of the attendees desperately grabbing bottles of wine on her way out has been identified (although some dispute that it is she).

Translation: When you're used to living off the backs of the USA 😄😄…  The person who left with several bottles during the White House press mess (but far from being the only one), is Olga Stefaniszyna, Ukraine's former Minister of Justice, and currently ambassador to the USA.
Amusing😁…

From Ari's post, above:

It’s not the USSS’s job to ask for IDs or to check tickets at an event outside the WH. The USSS could care less if someone was sitting at the wrong table or didn’t pay to get in. That’s the job of the host organization, the WH Correspondents Association. The USSS’s only job is to protect designated people.

Therein lies the problem, I guess. Most associated with WHCA want Trump dead.

He postulates that the SS agent may have been hit by friendly fire.  Since the Whitehouse hasn't addressed this issue and here we are several days since the shooting, I'll venture to guess it was friendly fire.

Andy Ngo describes the journey from home-schooled churchgoing boy to would-be assassin:

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Shooting Suspect’s Past Reveals Turn From Christian Upbringing
Cole Tomas Allen was raised in a Christian homeschool environment, but more than a decade ago showed early signs of drifting toward left-wing grievance politics.
Andy Ngo - https://www.ngocomment.com/p/exclusive-trump-shooting-suspects
Apr 28, 2026

Ngo Comment can exclusively report that the accused attempted assassin suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting was raised in a homeschooling environment tied to an evangelical Christian community in southern California. ...

He was once a high-achieving student and athlete raised in a structured homeschooling environment connected to a conservative Christian network.

Allen was a student in the South Bay Faith Academy in Redondo Beach, Calif., a Christian homeschool co-op that connects families for education, athletics and social activities. The program offers parent-led classes, youth sports and organized events for homeschooled students connected to local churches.

Even within that community, however, his family stood out.

“Something that stood out to me was his family, especially his sister, was very liberal,” said a former peer who was part of the same homeschooling co-op.

The source, who requested anonymity, said Allen’s sister argued with other students about her hatred of Trump back in 2016. ...

So no officer was shot contrary to what Trump told us. And 5 shots fired by SS but all missed and bullets can’t be found according to Blanche. Anyone wonder why there’s doubt about what really happened here? It’s either the Keystone Cops or something isn’t right.

[Wingnut]

These agents put the "Secret" in the SS.

[DCPatriot]

I'm guessing that the vast majority of those "perimeter" guards had no live ammunition in their firearms.

Recall my son in Bamberg, Germany who guarded fenced lots holding military vehicles, etc., with an empty rifle.   

[mountaineer]

We're hearing too often of USSS agents who couldn't hit the side of a barn with their weapons, and seeing too many photos of agents who could afford to lose at least 20 pounds. What the heck.

Of course the far-Left media which have crafted the entire deusional narrative the shooter bought into will see him as "centrist", even "blue sky" normal.

In their twisted and skewed version of reality, he IS normal.
Among the Jimmy Kimmels and "comedians" holding bloody ersatz heads, he fits right in. In the context of speeches by Maxine Waters and Chuck Schumer, and other Democrats calling for violence in their sick rhetoric, he isn't a bump in the glass.
Standing out in that social landscape requires egregious acts of violence, and that is almost all from the Left.

Their rhetoric is a tumultuous sea of lies, fabrications, innuendo, and distortions along its interface with reality, and it takes a rogue wave to stand out.

Therein lies the problem. No, you can't hate the media enough.

The fact still remains that SS didn't have the sense to secure the perimeter.  They also failed  to do so in Butler and Palm Beach.

Mr. Bele having worked at the airport commented on how much security there was when 'W' flew into our county.  They were there many days ahead of time and security was tight. Those that worked there even had to show ID multiple times and get clearance to have access anywhere near the perimeter of the airfield. SS was all over, including the rooftops and entry ways. Again SS was there for several days leading up to his arrival.

So what has changed???  Why is President Trump not afforded the same type of 'tight' security?

Melania Trump advisor reveals what first lady was thinking as Secret Service rushed WHCA Dinner
Marc Beckman says the first lady was 'in full control' and led others at the table to take cover during the attack
 By Ashley J. DiMella Fox News
Published April 29, 2026 6:00pm EDT

First lady Melania Trump’s senior advisor is opening up about how the first lady reacted the night an armed suspect stormed the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in an alleged effort to assassinate President Donald Trump and administration officials.

"She was not frightened. She was in full control. She knew what had to be done," senior advisor Marc Beckman told Fox News Digital in a Zoom interview.

Chaos broke out at the Washington Hilton Saturday evening just as the annual event was kicking off, when an armed suspect stormed the event in what authorities say was an attempt to assassinate the president. The incident prompted Secret Service agents to rush the president and first lady from the room as guests scrambled for cover.

While this was not the first attempt on Trump’s life, it was the first time his wife was present.

"She's a strong person. She was not injured. Nobody was hurt, fortunately. She was really happy at the end of the day that everyone, in fact, in that room was in good health and was not injured," he added.

Beckman said the first lady quickly took cover at the Secret Service’s direction and then urged others at the table to do the same.

During the chaos, a moment of shock appeared on the first lady’s face, with many assuming it was in reaction to the gunshots.

Beckman, however, said it was due to something different.

"She was learning that the mentalist [Oz Pearlman] was able to guess what Karoline Leavitt's child, soon-to-be child, was going to be named, which is remarkable. It's shocking. Hence, the expression. Coupled with literally Secret Service charging through the center of the room," said Beckman.

The first lady joined her husband and administration officials in the briefing room after they were evacuated from the dinner.
