So I had a whole post put together, all a theme about my weekend working on my rear deck and electrical wiring. Had the pictures, music, everything. So of course, yesterday’s big event derailed it. So I’m leaving all that shit in place and not talking about it. There are graver matters. And there never will be another Richard Simmons.
Birthdays today include a guy responsible for millions of shitty postcards; a presciently named character actor; one of the greatest animators to ever put pen to cel; one of the worst animators to ever put pen to cel; a commie piece of shit who could write a decent song; a president who was born a King; a great scientist I could never take a cotton to; an icon of symbolism, or something like that; a guy who always seemed to show up in my favorite cult films; and one of the icons of my youth, who took a path later that we can all understand.
Links will be a bit sparse, since y’all have plenty to talk about, but I’ll put in a couple anyway…
All assassins and assassin wannabes have to have three names.
Wait, I thought letting him live was the attack on democracy. It’s all so confusing…
Hold up her photo at every Biden rally.
Poor fuck couldn’t even get a couple hours.
“She is at work on a novel about parenting in the age of climate change. “ Says it all, innit?
Is he in heaven? Is he in hell? That damned elusive…. uhhhh…. something.
Well, if we’ve gotten to this, it really is over.
OK, major changeup. No country, no bluegrass, no jazz, no classic Prog Rock. But this just reminded me of someone… and as a bonus, there’s a lot of tiddies.
You don’t like Hanna? That is an act of Barbera-ity!
That’s Bananas. I’ll Split now.
Happy birthday Pete Seeger!
Or…geez, there are so many!
Well, we knew it wasn’t John Lennon.
Right?
I was expecting Billy Bragg but that’s the Gen X talking.
Absolutely. My first thought was Zack de la Rocha but that seemed unlikely for OMWC.
RIP to Simmons, he put the flam in flamboyant but he also seemed to be a decent human being and he plugged a good cause.
Yup.
I remember some appearances on Howard Stern before Howard Stern disappeared up his own asshole. What a good sport Richard was.
Thanks OMC.
Let’s also add:
Trailblazing video artist Bill Viola dies at 73
I have no idea who the fuck he is but all the lefty media seems broke up over the loss.
so who set up the trump hit? the democrats to take him out or trump himself to make himself look like a martyr? or was it the illuminati?
My money’s on lone nut combined with Secret Service incompetence. If there is an actual reveal of his politics it’ll be a mish mash of left, right, and crazy.
i read he was a registered republican
…combined with the left wing spending several years fomenting both an extremely hostile environment and one where their foot soldiers know the media and legal system will turn a blind eye towards actual violence.
This is not an accident.
This guy? Yeah, I’m betting on a loner. But all you gotta do is the above, and turn down the protection a bit, and wait for the tail end of the bell curve to do what it does.
the left has nothing top do with it in this case. only right wing rhetoric can cause violence.
Registered Republican means little for a lot of reasons. His social media profile, something he almost certainly has, should shine some light on the situation.
He’s not even old enough to have voted in the last election.
Absolutely PT, all that needs to be done in a nation of 360 million is for someone to put out the word that they want a meddlesome priest out of the way and someone will take up the cause.
Nobody in the Secret Service saying “we should lock-down or monitor that roof top 130 yards from the podium.” Is hard to accept as incompetence.
Maybe a couple of the guys in ninja outfits should have been on the roof instead of backstage with thumbs up their asses.
The Jews. It’s always the Jews.
i wrote that initialy but changed to illuminati which is probably the same thing
Well, in addition to being the worst xxx president in history he has always been alleged to be the most antisemitic as well.
Prog logic is amazing.
That hair article made me want to slit my wrists to make it end.
Nah. This was a lone nut with a rifle, not an orbital space laser strike.
Trump did this to himself. He knew what to do but didn’t do it:
first you take the guns………..
due process later, at some convenient date
wake up! wake up! ban all assault weapons, people!
his multiple failures have now left him in gogh mode

CBS News Report reveals what Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has been focused on: diversity hires
https://twitter.com/MattBatzel/status/1812315650955542940
if that lead to a guard of fit big titted women at the top of their game, would have been something at least.
Q for Secret Service director?
Speaking of DEI fails… this chick that her hires pretty publicly hate is finally giving up.
TL;DR – she is a leftist political operative, not a firefighter. Good riddance, breathe eight million residents.
Plus she didn’t arrange a favorable audience for James.

Ugh, get a room.

Isn’t that what a low level subway maintenance guy makes in NYC?
Couldn’t create the new sov….I mean progressive firefighter, eh? Imagine that.
I am visiting northern Wisconsin.
Strange…. last night I attended an event at a rural bar… about 30 people. Nobody mentioned Trump getting shot. I mentioned it once, and one guy reacted rather energetically … “I do not watch the news.” He actually put his fingers in his ears.
Seems odd.
I saw several posts on X like that. Sports bars. Airport lounges…. no news about it, nobody talking about it.
In fairness, Wisconsin and Minnesota are not entirely normal.
Hunting and fishing culture. Guns. Football. Socialism.
It’s not like gunshots are unusual here.
“It’s sure is quiet”
“Yeah, too quiet”
Don’t let this place throw you, being well informed on politics or even giving a damn about politics is more of the exception than the rule.
In Washington state, I went to my local pub. There were a few people talking about it. All the TVs were on sports.
The bartender lady leaned over and whispered to me “Too bad they missed.”
I was stunned into silence for a minute and then decided to speak up that I found her comment appalling and that I intend to vote for Trump. She seemed astonished to hear a person speak against team blue.
It’s gonna be a long summer/autumn.
Did she cast you out of the Sisterhood?
When I think of Wisconsin I think…one of the states with absolute speed limits. That is all.
I found out just now that there had been an assassination attempt … from the Bee.
Yesterday overheard Mrs. Prole talking to her motherabout “the shooting at a Trump rally”. Apparently the “A-word” is gauche if applied to Literally Hitler.
Let’s use the shooting of Trump to talk about….
I noticed the agent at the back of the vehicle unable to holster a firearm, while another made sure to get shades back on.
Donald Trump Bloodied in Possible Assassination Attempt
The former president was rushed off stage after apparent gunfire at a rally in Pennsylvania.
https://reason.com/2024/07/13/donald-trump-bloodied-in-possible-assassination-attempt/
“Possible”
Reason is retarded.
“This is your brain on TDS.”
Had the bullet been an inch to the right, would they have claimed it as “possible”
No, then it would have been alleged.
Meh! That was the early reporting. They included all the info in that post when they updated it.

i think I have a copy of the playboy she did in the attic
They do Playboy photoshoots in your attic? Lucky bastard.
Why did she do it in the attic?
how that elephant got in my pajamas I’ll never know
“Did you see the elephant?”
“No, but it lifted dad up three feet!”
Yeah, it’s sad. She had a pretty lengthy struggle with it and shared the whole thing. I was hoping for a better outcome but a few months ago it became clear that she wasn’t going to make it.
RIP.
They didn’t even mention her magnum opus, “Mall Rats.”
I ‘member when Kevin Smith made interesting movies.
“Hold up her photo at every Biden rally.”
Brilliant. I so want that to happen. Unfortunately, that story will also be forgotten because of other events that happened recently.
They could work it in there. Trump had a go fund me up for the families of the bystanders shot yesterday before the sun was up this morning. Biden wont acknowledge his own granddaughter. That is quite a stark contrast in character.
But rather than picking out a board game, puzzle or soft toy of the president’s dog, Navy chose a headshot of the smiling US president to keep in a birdhouse in her bedroom.
More like lining a birdcage, I suspect.
Birdbrain in a birdhouse.
The General Social Survey has been asked about pornography since 1973.
In 1973:
49% favored a ban on porn only for minors
42% favored a complete ban
10% said there should be no restrictions.
In 2022:
68% – a ban for minors
28% – total ban
4% – no restriction
https://twitter.com/ryanburge/status/1812209149679194116
Not surprising, it was much harder to access pornography back then. Now almost every kid has a porn machine in their pocket.
I just can’t imagine that only 68% of people think minors shouldn’t have legal access to porn.
In 1970? Sure, lots of pedos then.
there are many wokie leftists who say porn is ok for kids.
No doubt, wasn’t every third song give or take back then about grown men creeping on high school age girls?
Yes?
A great riff by Anthony Cumia and friend on the Mardones song:
https://youtu.be/H_Hm29-XuZ4?si=3MTBD0brTppZ9fFh
Pretty brutal but funny.
The odd framing of the question was pick total ban, or no ban, or ban only for minors. Not a multiple choice.
16yo me FLUVED that song, so I still like it for the nostalgia. Of course, 16yo me FLUVED Harlequins where the 18yo ingenue was special enough that the 36yo hero was flattened by her existence, so…
Keeping up that May-December fetish is more difficult now that I’m on the December side of the equation and I’m a woman who loathes the whole older-woman/younger-man thing.
As a “survivor “ of CSA, I reject the idea that sexy pics damage kids. The therapists trying to undo the “trauma ” done to me were vastly more damaging to me than the sex was.
Then again, maybe it broke me so hard that I became a libertarian.
Define: No restrictions
not even the basic click yes if you are over 18

Bryan Cranston
@BryanCranston
This is a tragic day. We must be honest and acknowledge (with deep regret) that shootings are a common method of conflict resolution in our society. And that there seems to be a confounding disregard for the ubiquity of gun violence. I’m relieved that Mr. Trump wasn’t severely injured, and I hope that he and the attendees seek emotional help to ease the trauma they experienced. My thoughts and prayers go out to the innocent victims of this senseless act.
I believe that we can be better. We need to be better… but at some point, shootings stopped being shocking – and that is what’s shocking.
https://twitter.com/BryanCranston/status/1812285719483932790
THOUGHTS and PRAYERS? Fucking right-wing bastard – he’s supposed to be screaming for more gun control!
*Blah blah blah, glad he’s not dead, press narrative*
Fuck off B-ry.
He gets a lifetime pass on dumb shit because of Malcolm in the middle.
Great actor, complete shithead
Brian is right. There ought to be a law making it illegal to shoot people.
Germany: Several killed in Baden-Württemberg — reports
15 minutes ago15 minutes ago
Multiple people were reportedly killed in the southern German town of Lautlingen, with the suspect said to be a hunter. Strong police forces and emergency responders were deployed at the scene.
https://www.dw.com/en/germany-several-killed-in-baden-w%C3%BCrttemberg-reports/a-69656002
The victims succumbed to second-hand crack smoke.
Leave Cracky out of this, he’s a national treasure.
Waiting for the FBI was familiar with the shooter and had been in touch with him on social media. Also lots of mood meds.
That would make it perfect.
Within minutes, everyone in my “text about politics” orbit was saying exactly this.

Studies of rent control tend to find that
– leads to lower rents for controlled housing
– boosts rents for uncontrolled housing
– while making a lot of other things worse
https://twitter.com/cremieuxrecueil/status/1811994416262844711
They needed to study that? Hasn’t that been known for decades?
Sowell’s take should have made any of this unnecessary.
And yet the left is eager to implement it everywhere always.
‘and yet’
I think you mean to say, ‘and that’s why’.
Number one trending topic on X for a couple of hours after the shooting was #staged
#BBgun was also near the top
Glenn Greenwald took note of how well prepared our populace was to accept that anything benefiting Trump had to be fake
https://x.com/ggreenwald/status/1812268578604990713?s=19
We’ve been conditioned to disbelieve politicians and the media. I’m not sure how this is unhealthy.
The people who think this was staged don’t distrust politicians. They just have TDS. They love them some Joe Biden and cheer when Alex Jones is bankrupted for suggesting something might be a false flag.
As Moj pointed out last night, even if this is a setup, there is no downside for OMB.
At least Trump didn’t get his eye injured, just can’t/won’t listen to anyone on the right side anymore.
We had an entire evening of CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC reporters, pundits and experts trying to explain how Trump got hurt from a shattered teleprompter, from “falling”, from a dummy round used in training….
It was pretty bizarre. They *needed* to be able to minimize the whole thing.

Another difference about rural Wisconsin…. redbox is still a thing here.
They are gone from my area of Florida. Have not seen one in a few years.
But I suppose it is due to the state of internet access up here. Many folks are on ATT cellular for home internet and get 1.5mbs or less.
I just saw a RedBox in the Austin area yesterday and was kind of surprised. The machine itself was very weathered but had recent titles. It seemed to be there more for advertising their streaming app.
They’re all over the place in my Southern small city and seem to be more used by people with barely a pot to piss in.

Compare with “peacefully and patrioticly make your voices heard” Being the basis for a felony indictment.
According to enb, J6 violated her norms so much that she prefers Biden… Peak buying into the DC narrative over there sometimes.

What is it with people claiming fraud and crisis actors on every damn bad thing that happens? Are they mentally ill or just trolling?
The need to minimize what your side potentially did. To minimize your own thoughts. To show you aren’t really a bad guy.
To make your last decade be OK.
If we go by the Alex Jones legal standard, whichever journalismer is proffering this should owe someone a cool billion.
“Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old would-be assassin who shot Donald Trump, has been pictured for the first time just hours after he was shot and killed by Secret Service.
The registered Republican and 2022 high school graduate opened fire at the former president with an AR-style rifle from a roof 130 yards from the rally stage in Butler, Pennsylvania , on Saturday at 6.15pm.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13633009/Thomas-matthew-crooks-biden-donor-trump-shooter-pictured.html
He doesn’t look Chinese, but skinny, short dark hair, glasses.
Grad in 2022? His political registration means Jack shit
“Records show he donated to a group who backed President Joe Biden on the day of the inauguration in 2020.”
Inauguration in 2020?
They’re Brits. What do they know about U.S. election procedures?
“Members of the community where Crooks is believed to have lived with his parents were swarmed by police and Secret Service on Sunday morning.”
Wait- they swarmed the whole community?
OMWC when you go to the weekly meeting with the other jews who are running the world, can you turn down the heat a little bit? thanks.
I’m going to Houston, TX tomorrow. I’ll let you know what real heat is.
the temps in Houston are 10C lower though I assume more humid
we are round 20%
No, you’ll let us know what real humidity is. Also, you get used to that ozone smell.
It’s uncommonly temperate here.
We want a riper vintage there. Your comfort is of no concern to (((us))).
“A motive was not clear.”
He was saving the world!
The shooter was 20 and his address was that of a registered Republican. Ask my kids how they feel about my politics. One is 19 and the other is 24 and both just moved back home. The media is trying to make it sound like the kid is a Republican, but at 20, he’s still relatively fresh out of indoctrination camp and possibly enrolled in indoctrination camp 2.0. Aside from the fictional Michael P. Keeton, name me a 20 year old Republican?
both just moved back home – laaaame
My kids are 60ish and still haven’t got a handle on the grown up part yet.
Some day maybe.
Ben Shapiro?
I knew one or two in high school and college.
Also, they’re saying the kid was a “Biden donor”. That’s more surprising – what 20-year-old donates money to a politician?!
A 20 yo that’s an obsessive.
He was 16 when he donated in 2020, which is even more bizarre.
20 yo Splosivez was a Republican.
Teenage Splosives was president of the Young Republicans club.
Was definitely in the minority though.
They’re going to railroad the parents.
One of those Republicans supporting Biden.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13633009/Thomas-matthew-crooks-biden-donor-trump-shooter-pictured.html
But we need a narrative. Nuance must be avoided at all costs.
In NJ you register party affiliation by voting in the primary. So plenty of young voters are “registered”.
Yeah, I was wondering whether PA has closed primaries.
“Michael P. Keaton” is probably what Alex used to call himself when Ellen made him put on the Batman suit in the bedroom.
Sit Ubu, sit! LOL
Shit, I just realized how I mixed the character with the actor.
I knew exactly what had happened, when the actor and the character both use a middle initial they aren’t making it easy! LOL
I do hope you know that I was making a joke rather than “making fun”. Take care!
20yo white guy from a well off family.
Antifa wannabe.
Can’t buy a rifle at 20. So, whose rifle was it?
never mind. 18 for rifle.
Maybe a gift from his grandfather. A lot of that going around, I hear.
Last night somebody on NBC was moaning about how Trump will somehow upend logic and make this all about Joe Biden’s rhetoric. Everybody knows Trump really is is the Anti-Christ and an existential threat to the world as we know it. Why shouldn’t Biden be allowed to say it?
“According to state voter status records, Crooks was a registered Republican.
The shooter made one singular $15 donation to the liberal ActBlue political action committee on January 20, 2021 — Biden’s Inauguration Day, the Intercept reported.
At the time of the donation, Crooks was 17-years-old. He registered to vote upon turning 18 in September of that same year as a member of the GOP, records show.”
https://nypost.com/2024/07/13/us-news/thomas-matthew-crooks-idd-as-gunman-who-shot-trump-during-pa-rally/
Is Pennsylvania a closed primary state? Shenanigans can come of that with party registration.
Yes, it is.
He was 16 when he donated in 2020, which is even more bizarre.
There are kids younger than that suing the government over climate change.
They’re keeping his manifesto under wraps because copycatters.
It’s all deliberately obfuscating. My guess is all his social posts are already locked down and we will never know more than we do now.
Some school acquaintances will show up months from now and talked about him being a complete commie crackpot who claimed to meet the FBI and shake hands with Biden, and the story will be buried.
They’re saying the ID’d the shooter through DNA…one that seems fast to get results, and two did they use records from private DNA companies? They said the guy had no criminal record.
Well if you have a pool of knowns you can match DNA quite quickly
The Golden State Killer says hi.
That does seem suspicious.
“BlackRock has deep ties to Biden, with many former executives and employees being hired to fill his administration.
The BlackRock ad was filmed at Bethel Park High School, which Crooks attended.

In a strange twist, Joe Biden’s longtime advisor, Michael C. Donilon, is the brother of Thomas E. Donilon, the chairman of the BlackRock Investment Institute, the firm’s global think tank.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/what-trump-shooter-was-featured-blackrock-ad-2023/
Depends, of course, on when the ad was filmed, since he graduated in ’22.
Sniper has entered the chat.
Also, 4chan.
But it does seem there was a high degree of incompetence involved here at a minimum.
The FBI will get right on solving this one.
Obviously hard to tell from the video but he does pop his head up while looking through his scope. Some serious questions that will get the normal runaround in Congress. ‘Procedures were followed’
“Just three months ago House Democrats moved to strip President Trump of his Secret Service protection if he is convicted.
Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson introduced a resolution that would terminate Trump’s Secret Service protection. The legislation dubbed the “Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act would apply to all Secret Service protectees convicted and sentenced under felony charges.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/they-want-him-dead-just-three-months-ago/
Was it a ghost gun, bought anonymously over the internet?
Y’know how at the close of ceremony graduates all toss their mortarboards in the air? I am imagining a cloud of tinfoil hats in the air.
Re: Blackrock connection mentioned above. Last night or this morning I predicted ‘lone wolf loon’ that will be revealed to have some connection with left wing campaigns, NGO, or political action group. That is exactly who it turned out to be, some unknown who actually has some close peripheral connection with Biden and donated to Biden (at a 20yo?). A true lone wold nut would be Ted Kaczynski. A real unknown schizophrenic who had no political connections or any real connections of any kind. It wasn’t that guy. It was a socially awkward kid who somehow appeared in an ad at his high school in nowhere, USA for a company that has extremely close connections to Creepy Joe. There is a claim that the police sniper was prevented from taking out the would be assassin by the head of the SS, a woman who just happens to be unreachable at the moment.
With shit like this I dont believe in coincidences.
Solid evidence of the Dem’s hands all over this: They fucked it up.
They fucked it up and they wont get a 2nd chance. My theory now is that the “lone wolf gunmen” (actually Antifa since they’re the enforcement arm/SS of the Globalist Soros/DNC) will go after family next. Melania, Ivanka, Don Jr- even the ugly one, better not leave the house until….ever.
They failed at getting him jailed and off the campaign trail. Now they’re playing hardball. This will serve as a warning.
Either Biden is hopped-up to the point his eyes are goofy, or the lizard eyes are showing.
He just called the ballot-box a “battle box”.
Twice.
How long until we hear “we knew this attack was going to happen beforehand” from some gov organization about the Trump attack
“On Saturday afternoon, Crooks slipped onto a rooftop location 150 yards (140 meters) from the stage where Trump was speaking in Butler, Pennsylvania. He then began firing an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle, purchased by his father, officials said.”
Well, I think we now have a precedent that says this kid’s dad is going to prison for supplying the gun, right?
RIGHT?
