The level of incompetence and or corruption is absolutely mind blowing!

Thank YOU for speaking the truth !!! Keep pushing……………

It’s been almost 3 weeks and we still don’t know WHO decided to leave the roof unguarded? How is that even possible? 🤬

REMEMBER THAT BIDEN SAID "WE GOTTA TAKE HIM OUT "

The lack of government transparency IS a threat to our democracy.

People are not paying attention if they haven't figured out what's happening.

[mattringler]

The fact that they cant give any answers makes them look guilty, deceptive.

[kathyjones]

Where's the Field Agent in charge of operations for the event? Why isn't he/she testifying? Isn't that the person with the answers?

I’ve already lost any faith that I had in our current government. And Kamala is a F joke !

[billyshepley]

So letting the criminals investigate the crime scene is not allowed?

[EyeDudditz-fjfj]

You can see it in their faces truly 💯 deceiving 👿

Secret Service is looking into how the 20 year old wasn't successful, and how to avoid it in the future.

This is sad. The very institutions who should protect us we can no longer trust. How can we follow the rule of law in our own country if the ones who should upgold it first and foremost are not doing their job in a just and honorable way? This is scary.

I have cowboyed a bit in my day. Lots of alone time. Lots of time to think. You start to see things, big things that you can't see when you constantly look through the microscope of the moment.
Never had much use for politicians, still don’t. Always thought they were a pack of lying skunks, still do. Always had the good fortune to work and ride with decent and honest men and women.
Now days, when I look out my window, I see my Country on Her knees. She has become gravely ill and I fear losing Her. Never thought this could happen. Guess I have to say now that this is part my fault. Never voted much and when I did, never looked real close. I figured other people smarter than me would make the right choice and then keep a close eye on things to make sure it was done right. Can’t say their choice was wrong, but like me, they didn’t keep a close eye.
I started to take a closer look after that terrible day in September when the Towers fell. I hated what I saw and began to look back so I could see ahead. Seems to me after President Kennedy was killed, things started getting bad. I can’t fault any one man for where We find Ourselves today. Guess it is more of all Our fault for trusting men and women who We gave power to and then looking away. These few men and women are now consumed with an unbridled lust for money, power, control and fame. Not sure if any of them really work for the People anymore.
What I see now is America heading for a hard, hard fall if things don’t get turned around. By now, this should be fairly obvious to anyone paying the least bit of attention. There may be no way to stop the storm which comes Our way and We all should prepare as best We can.
Until common men and women of good character are elected from the lowest to the highest positions, things cannot improve, they can only get worse.
We now find Ourselves in an election cycle. I would encourage all Americans to educate themselves on their upcoming choices and view with a critical eye the choices already made.
I hope the time has not passed to leave America a better place than We found it.
Thank You for Your time and consideration.

Who told sniper Greg to leave his post? The very oversight where the sniper took the shot. We better get answers here.

[garretdoi]

3 shots fired first, 5 shots fired second, 1 kill shot fired third.. how do you know that, all 8 shells was his? The 5 other shell could have been planted evidence after he was killed, to make it look like he was the only shooter? Because the audio signature pattern definitely showed that the second shooters caliber was different in sound & visual signature pattern.🤔

[mygarden]

You are right, Sen. Johnson, I believe You.

This is the 1963 Warren Commission all over again
