This post is cobbled together from reports and sources I have been following this weekend. Dakotah and I will go into more detail today in SheeLilly, and we’ll also talk about yesterday’s elections in VZ.
This is a question for what happened here: The 25th amendment is a constitutional remedy and perhaps the Cadaver in Chief was a prime candidate for having it invoked, but, why did they do it this way? If they invoked the 25th, then Kam would have been POTUS and the umbrella of incumbency would have been bestowed upon her campaign. Allowing someone who is obviously feeble (or maybe even dead) to remain in office is weird, no?

Trump counter-snipers’ chilling text messages before assassination attempt reveal shocking truth: ‘He knows you guys are up there’ –Text from counter-sniper: Crooks was “sitting to the direct right on a picnic table about 50 yards from the exit” | 28 July 2024 | A series of bombshell text messages from counter-snipers who were supposed to protect Donald Trump at the Pennsylvania rally where an assassin’s bullet nearly killed the president showed them a step behind the gunman. An inquiry has started in the wake of the attempt, which Trump miraculously survived. It appears a group chat of those meant to protect Trump were aware that gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was in their midst over 90 minutes before Trump was shot at, rather than an hour as the FBI had previously claimed. When one of the three counter-snipers was about to call off at the end of their shift at around 4:26pm, they noticed a man who they later confirmed to be Crooks sitting on a picnic table. “Guys I am out. Be safe,” he wrote. “Someone followed our lead and snuck in and parked by our cars just so you know. I’m just letting you know because you see me go out with my rifle and put it in my car so he knows you guys are up there,” he wrote. He added that Crooks was “sitting to the direct right on a picnic table about 50 yards from the exit” in a message sent at 4:27pm, a little over 90 minutes before the gunman fired.
While everyone was bugging out about the Paris debacle:
NATO states tell citizens to leave Lebanon –Israel and the Lebanese-based militant group Hezbollah are on the brink of a full-blown war | 29 July 2024 | Several NATO members, including the U.S., have issued travel warnings for Lebanon, urging their citizens to immediately leave the country in the face of a potential full-blown war between Israel and the pro-Palestinian armed group Hezbollah. Tensions rapidly escalated on Saturday when a rocket strike killed 12 children in the Druze city of Majdan Shams, in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the projectile was an Iranian-made Falaq-1 rocket fired by Hezbollah from southern Lebanon. The militants, however, denied their involvement in the strike. The US Embassy released a travel notice on Saturday, urging Americans to “strongly reconsider travel to Lebanon.”
Jets, drones struck over 35 targets across Gaza in past 24 hours as troops advance in Khan Younis, Rafah – IDF | 29 July 2024 | Israeli fighter jets and drones struck more than 35 targets across the Gaza Strip over the past day, the military says. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says the targets include cells of gunmen, buildings used by terror groups, booby-trapped buildings, and other infrastructure. The strikes come as troops continue to advance in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis and Rafah. The IDF says troops with the 162nd Division killed several gunmen in close-quarters combat and by directing airstrikes in Rafah in the previous 24 hours. Many more “terror operatives” were killed in clashes and airstrikes amid operations by the 98th Division in Khan Younis, the IDF adds.
Ministers authorize Netanyahu, Gallant to order retaliation for deadly Golan strike –Hezbollah members said to abandon posts as Lebanon and wider region gird for expected response following rocket strike on Majdal Shams soccer field that killed 12 youths | 29 July 2024 | Israeli ministers authorized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defense chief Sunday to decide on the “manner and timing” of a response to a rocket strike in the Golan Heights that killed 12 children and teens, and which Israel and the United States blamed on Lebanese terror group Hezbollah. Israel has vowed retaliation against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Israeli jets hit targets in southern Lebanon during the day on Sunday and reportedly shelled sites there just after midnight Monday, as Lebanon braced for Israel’s expected reprisal and diplomats scrambled to keep the conflict from snowballing.
Cindy Lee Sheehan is an American anti-war activist, whose son, U.S. Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, was killed by enemy action during the Iraq War. She attracted national and international media attention in August 2005 for her extended antiwar protest at a makeshift camp outside President George W. Bush’s Texas ranch—a stand that drew both passionate support and criticism. Sheehan ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 2008. She was a vocal critic of President Barack Obama’s foreign policy. Her memoir, Peace Mom: A Mother’s Journey Through Heartache to Activism, was published in 2006. In an interview with The Daily Beast in 2017, Sheehan continued to hold her critical views towards George W. Bush, while also criticizing the militarism of Donald Trump.
Ms.Sheehan was the 2012 vice-presidential nominee of the Peace and Freedom Party, and received 1.2% of the statewide vote in the 2014 California gubernatorial election.
