Good morning, GN. I’ve been watching more of this convention than any I ever had in years past. Some very good speeches, but the best ones have come from citizens rather than the politicians, altho some politicians have delivered. Particularly liked Sarah Sanders last night and Rubio wasn’t bad either.
With Trump’s security detail understaffed, under-resourced, and stretched to its limits, Biden’s security regime reportedly diverted even more resources to a hastily planned Jill Biden event that just happened to be in the area.Biden’s security regime then ordered the most obvious assassination perch in the entire area to remain outside the main security perimeter.
Furthermore, Biden’s Secret Service director ordered law enforcement and counter-snipers OFF the roof the assassin used.
If that weren’t enough, Biden’s security regime also refused to block the line of sight from the assassin’s perch to Trump’s location. When law enforcement radioed in a suspicious person using a laser range finder at the building and even took photos of him, nothing was done to detain the assassin.
And so one more night for the Republicans. JD Vance gave, I thought, a good speech introducing himself to the public. The non-politicians did very good as well.
I hope Oliver is an aberration or the end times are truly here.

That’s good to hear. I’ve turned it on a couple of times, and have mostly caught talking heads giving their opinion.
I’m mostly watching on CSPAN. No live commentary.
It’s stunning, but not too surprising, that what happened Saturday is still mostly unknown. I’m beginning to wonder if Crooks was the actual shooter.
The only thing missing is a grassy knoll.

There’s a lot of information coming out about the assassination attempt -- I just don’t know how much to believe or how it all fits together.
I’m getting the feeling that we are in the “we may never know why” waters similar to the Vegas shooting several years ago.
Happy “OMG They Have Thumbs” Wednesday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Sven!
Sven -- thank you for the Amish Country popcorn! We had some last night and it was delicious! Definitely different than your standard yellow popcorn.
You’re welcome -- enjoy.
Mac, are you a popcorn fan? Send me an email with your address and you can join in on taste testing.
Thank you, but not too much.
