IS ANYONE SURPRISED AT THIS?

So much lefty hate, encouraged and rewarded by “mainstream” media.

UPDATE: Trump taken to safety after Secret Service opens fire on man with possible gun at his Palm Beach golf club. “The man was later arrested by local police on I-95. It comes almost exactly two months after Thomas Matthew Crooks shot Trump at a rally in Butler, Pa. on July 13 — wounding him in the ear.”

ANOTHER UPDATE:

I suppose at this point we don’t know that this guy was trying to shoot Trump, but the fact that the Secret Service shot at him is highly suggestive. That the Secret Service missed him, as it apparently did, is . . . kinda par for the course with the Secret Service these days.

YET ANOTHER UPDATE:

NEWS

CNN confirms that an AK-47 was recovered.

It’s unclear if it was a semi-automatic AK or an automatic AK. https://t.co/3VEirlzVTy

Plus:

The automatic assumption that the AK-47 incident at Trump’s golf course is related to internal political violence is based on no evidence.

I don’t know who is behind it or which group may be responsible, but he is the former President, and non-U.S. groups or organizations,…

MORE: Trump was between holes 5 and 6 on golf course, suspect farther ahead, sources say. ” Former President Donald Trump was moving between holes five and six at his South Florida golf course when the security incident happened Sunday, a source briefed on the matter told CNN. The suspect, who the Secret Service engaged with, was a number of holes ahead of the former president, according to two law enforcement sources. The Secret Service fired at the suspect as a protective measure, that source said.”

SPACE: Crew Dragon splashes down to conclude Polaris Dawn mission. “A Falcon 9 launched the Crew Dragon spacecraft into an elliptical orbit Sept. 10, initially placing it into an orbit of about 190 by 1,200 kilometers. Dragon raised its orbit later in the first day of the mission, reaching an apogee of 1,408.1 kilometers, according to SpaceX. That marked the highest altitude on a crewed Earth orbital mission and the highest altitude by any crewed mission since the Apollo 17 mission to the moon in 1972. . . . The highlight of the mission was the first commercial spacewalk, which took place on Sept. 12. All four crewmembers wore SpaceX-designed extravehicular activity (EVA) suits as the cabin was depressurized. Isaacman and Gillis briefly exited the hatch in the nose of the Dragon spacecraft in a “standup” spacewalk, testing the performance of the suits.”

An open letter from groups led by Friends of the Earth to some of the world’s biggest banks calls for a halt on any new financing that expands industrial livestock production and to add requirements that meat, dairy, and feed clients disclose their climate action plans. The letter calls out the banks by name for supporting the world’s biggest meat, dairy, and animal feed producers like JBS, Tyson Foods, and others.”

LEO BEATS GEO: United Airlines bumps GEO operators off fleet for Starlink Wi-Fi.

United, which has more routes across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans than any other airline, plans to offer passengers high-speed, low-latency Starlink Wi-Fi for free.

“Everything you can do on the ground, you’ll soon be able to do onboard a United plane at 35,000 feet, just about anywhere in the world,” United CEO Scott Kirby said in a statement.

According to United, supported Starlink services would include live streaming, gaming and the ability to connect multiple devices at once under one user.
