Would-be Donald Trump assassin and leftist tool Ryan Routh apparently arrived at his firing position nearly twelve hours before the Secret Service discovered him on Sunday. Cell phone data indicates that Ryan Wesley Routh arrived at the tree line fence near the Trump International Golf Club at 1:59 a.m. Sunday. The former president's security detail discovered him at 1:31 p.m. //

In the area of the tree line from which ROUTH fled, agents found a digital camera, two (2) bags, including a backpack, a loaded SKS-style, 7.62x39 caliber rifle with a scope, and a black plastic bag containing food. The serial number on the SKS-style rifle was obliterated and unreadable to the naked eye.

The rifle appears to be a Chinese knock-off of the ancient Soviet SKS made by Norinco. The SKS, scope or no scope, is not the rifle, nor does it fire the round (Warsaw Pact 7.62mm x 39mm) needed for reliable shooting at any distance. //

Had he had sufficient skills to avoid sticking the barrel of the rifle through the fence, he could very well have succeeded.

At approximately 1:31 PM, a United States Secret Service ("USSS") Special Agent assigned to the former President's security detail was walking the perimeter of Trump International when the USSS Agent saw what appeared to be a rifle poking out of the tree line. //

A simple sweep with an infrared camera should have picked him up. That's pretty basic tech and not a function of understaffing. Yet another easily preventable situation botched by the SS, which is of course ultimately under DHS Sec Mayorkas and Pres Biden. Meanwhile, the MSM is obsessed with talking about whether Haitian illegals are eating cats in Springfield OH. //

No they didn’t. Looking at the aerial map, this was an obvious point of vulnerability, compared to much of the course; it should have gotten special attention. To a significant extent, this is a replay of failing to secure the most obvious rooftop at Butler. The USSS needs some basic site and perimeter skills it either doesn’t have or isn’t choosing to use. //

If the MSM is talking about Haitian illegals not eating cats, we are still winning the argument. The point isn't that they eat cats, that was just the clickbait that got the story going. The point is that tens of thousands of immigrants are being dumped into communities, overrunning them and destroying them. Whether they are eating pets or just raping and pillaging and not eating pets, doesn't make that much of a difference.

Some stories you win by simply getting them covered, even if they are claiming a real problem is not a problem.
