SECURITY ‘N’ CIGARS: Patterns in Presidential Assassinations. “This post-1900 record does not mean every disturbed individual is politically motivated, nor does it excuse mental health failures or security lapses. But it does reveal an asymmetry: ideologically driven attacks on American presidents and candidates have overwhelmingly come from the radical left or been filtered through left-coded cultural influences. Acknowledging this pattern honestly, without dismissing the role of mental illness, is essential for understanding political violence in modern America — and for lowering the temperature in our bitterly divided times.”

GOOD QUESTION:

Democrats have spent the last 10 years saying, “Will no one rid us of this turbulent priest, who also happens to be literally Hitler pedo rapist bent on murdering people and ending our democracy?” and have no intention of stopping until they get the desired result.

FOR, LITERALLY, NOTHING:

But from the California Blue Machine’s standpoint, it’s not a failure. All of that money went somewhere.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Hakeem Jeffries Isn’t Man Enough to Argue With Karoline Leavitt. “House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is one of the biggest ‘have his cake and eat it too’ crybabies among the Dems right now. He’s desperately trying to step out of Nancy Pelosi’s shadow, which he will never have the political chops to do. Like so many politicians, Jeffries spends a lot of time trying to talk over the fact that he’s not very bright. Absent the intellectual firepower to make a name for himself as a policymaker, Jeffries works on getting face time in front of the press so he can play tough guy.”

And in case you missed Kruiser last night, here it is again: If You Can’t Say Something Nice About Someone, You Must Be Talking About a Democrat.

KASH PATEL: Security protocol will look ‘completely different’ for White House media dinner redo.

“I think we are going to do it entirely differently,” Patel said on Fox & Friends. “You heard the president say on Saturday night that we’re going to do this again in short order, maybe in 30 days or so, and we’re going to be ready for that. The security posture, I imagine, is going to be completely different.”

Though the suspected gunman, a 31-year-old teacher from California named Cole Allen, was apprehended by law enforcement before making it into the event room, he did breach the security screening checkpoint within the hotel and came close to the entrance of the dinner. A Secret Service agent was shot by the gunman in his bulletproof vest, marking the only injury reported from the scene at the Washington Hilton hotel.

The incident has raised serious concerns about how a man armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives was able to come so close to entering such a high-profile dinner.

As well it should.

Here’s a sneak peak at the redo: ‘I Was Gonna Really Rip It!’ Trump Promises New WHCA Address Will Be ‘Speech of Love’ Now.

What a guy.

REPUBLICANS POUNCE: ‘Left-wing cult of hatred’: GOP goes on offense after Trump assassination attempt. “Republicans went on offense Monday in the wake of yet another assassination attempt against President Donald Trump, asserting that Democrats were fostering a ‘left-wing cult of hatred’ that drives adherents to violent outbursts.”

How do you go on offensive after “yet another” assassination attempt?
