Now, imagine if someone had tried to kill Joe Biden and a local police officer wished the bullet was a little bit over: would the news organizations all be covering this? Why, of course they would. Yet, in Raleigh, it’s only CBS17
“Damn. Only about an inch away from making America great again…”
Those 11 words have put a 24-year veteran member of the Tarboro Police Department on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. A screenshot of the post shared with CBS 17 shows the post made by Detective Sergeant Brandon Richardson.
Tarboro Chief of Police Rick Mann confirmed on Monday that Richardson is now under investigation.
On Monday, Chief Mann took to Facebook to address the post which has gained a wide range of reactions.
“We take this matter very seriously, as it does not reflect the values and standards of our department,” Chief Mann said in the post. “We understand that such incidents can affect public trust, and we are dedicated to handling this matter with the seriousness and accountability it deserves.”
Richardson is currently suspended, we’ll see what happens. Tarboro tends to be a city that skews Democrat, so, will this guy continue to be a police officer there? He has apologized and taken full responsibility, so, does he deserve a second chance?
Anyway, neither WRAL, ABC11, nor the Raleigh News and Observer have covered this. Down East, for the big news organizations in that area, WITN and WNCT did cover this, but, News12 and the Greenville News and Observer did not. The small My Tarboro Today has it, and
One person called Richardson’s comments free speech, while others pointed out he is a law enforcement officer and was, essentially, condoning a murder attempt on a former president of the United States.
“He is sworn to uphold the law and murder is still against the law,” one person wrote.
There is that. So, what happens? There are lots of nutters who did this. A staffer for Democrat Bennie Thompson has been fired. Here’s another police officer
Dallas PD officer accused of writing ‘aim better’ online after Trump assassination attempt. He should be fired immediately, for the combination of gross cruelty and stunning stupidity. https://t.co/E9JQxhsXdQ

Of course, Wendy’s won’t do things like get rid of meat, and their frosties that are made with milk from Evil moo cows, stop serving sugary drinks, and stop using fossil fueled trucks to bring in product
Fast food just got a whole lot sunnier.
Wendy’s is partnering with community solar provider Ampion Renewable Energy to help its restaurants source clean, renewable energy.
This exciting development means nearly 140 Wendy’s locations across New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts will now get a significant portion of their power from the sun, according to Solar Power World.
The enrolled Wendy’s restaurants will source 30-100% of their energy from solar projects in their communities without needing to install a single solar panel.
As more solar capacity comes online, Wendy’s plans to enroll even more of its company-operated and franchise restaurants in Ampion’s innovative program.
All this means is that the cost of doing business is going to go up, so, they’ll have to increase their prices
For Wendy’s, this solar partnership is a major step toward meeting its goal of cutting pollution by 47% per restaurant by 2030. It’s also a huge win for the planet, with the enrolled restaurants’ solar energy totaling an impressive 27.5 million kilowatt-hours per year. That’s equivalent to taking over 4,000 gas-powered cars off the road.
How many cars drive to Wendy’s and idle for the drive thru?
Even more exciting, this partnership demonstrates how going solar is one of the best ways for businesses to save money on energy while fighting atmospheric pollution. By sourcing clean energy through Ampion’s community solar program, Wendy’s and its franchisees can lower their utility bills and operating costs.
Is there anyone who actually believes that? We’ll how this works out over the next year or two. Oh, and how do they operate on cloudy days and at night? How will this work for the massive coolers and ovens?
It’s a good thing the news media is impartial and neutral, eh?
We should show grace to Donald Trump – and fight to keep him from office | Opinion
A man who has rarely extended grace to his opponents is receiving grace from his opponents — and he should. He must.
And we must be unified in our horror that 20-year-old Thomas Crooks tried to murder Donald Trump.
There is no wiggle room, no clinging to the safety of partisanship, no giving into our dark angels. The world is watching. Our hearts should ache, our souls shudder. History will judge if we don’t find the compassion to keep the torch lit during a difficult period the way so many others did before us, and judge us harshly.
I wonder about all the nasty things that have been published in the Raleigh News and Observer that I’ve seen since 2015.
But in a country that is just, no man would get to spend years fomenting violence then benefit when that violence visits his front door. Trump is still not worthy of leading this nation. His indecency helped bring us here. To deny that is to deny truth and undermine the greatness we proclaim but often don’t uphold.
And there you go, it’s all Trump’s Fault that someone went batshit insane and took a shot at him.
We should pray for his health just as we should for any victim of violence. We should also continue doing everything we can to ensure he doesn’t return to office. He remains a threat to democracy. The way to beat threats to democracy is with the ballot box, not the bullet.
And that’s exactly the kind of rhetoric that caused someone to take a literal shot at him. Of course, “journalist” Issac Bailey goes on to say that Democrats are selfless and none of this is their fault. Perhaps he should have read his own opinion piece.

It’s always something new with these Warmists. Always looking for some doom. Something to link and blame
Is Climate Change Keeping Patients from Vital Doctor Appointments?
Patients 65 and older, those with chronic conditions, had strongest association with missed appointments linked to climate change.
Temperature extremes, becoming increasingly frequent due to growing global climate change, are associated with higher rates of missed primary care appointments, according to a recently published study from Drexel University researchers in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
The researchers found that rates of missed appointments increased by 0.72% for every 1°F decrease in daily maximum temperatures below 39°F and increased by 0.64% for every 1°F increase above 89°F. Patients 65 and older and those with chronic conditions had stronger associations with an increased rate of missed appointments.
“These findings should be a clarion call for clinical teams, including their practice managers to adapt to ensure care access for patients before the problem gets worse,” said senior author Nathalie S. May, MD, a professor in Drexel University College of Medicine.
The team tallied 1,048,575 appointments from 91,580 adult patients at 13 university outpatient clinics in Philadelphia from Jan. 2009 through Dec. 2019 and linked those with daily maximum temperature and precipitation data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The group controlled for seasonal trends, sociodemographic attributes and chronic disease status.
“During the covid pandemic, telemedicine became an integral part of healthcare delivery,” said Drexel College of Medicine Clinical Associate Professor Janet H. Fitzpatrick, MD, one of the lead authors on the study. “With worsening climate change, this study supports advocating for permanent telemedicine coverage as an option to ensure patients can get the care they need.”
And? It gets hot in the summer. Realistically, this is anecdotal, as there is no way to compare this to previous Holocene warm periods. You can’t even really compare it to 50 years ago very well. This “survey” only looks at a simple 10 year period. Of course, the climate cult doesn’t care, they know that their little cult base will eat this up and regurgitate the headline.

You really cannot hate these Credentialed Media folks enough. Where were all the editorials from the Capital Broadcasting Company when Democrats fundraised off a tragedy? When the Cult of Climastrology called for more government regulation after weather happened? When Democrats called for gun grabbing after a shooter (usually a Democrat, and often a trans wacko over the past few years) went on a rampage?
Editorial: Trump rally shooting must not be exploited for quick campaign bucks
The assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump is a tragedy. It is not an opportunity.
Yes, politics and campaigning must, and should appropriately, continue. The National Republican Convention, opening in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, will, and should, continue as planned.
Focus also should be on what has been left in the wake of the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania. While Trump was fortunate with minor wounds to his right ear, Corey Comperatore, a former local fire chief, lost his life to the sniper’s bullet as he dove to protect his wife and daughter.
Two others injured at the rally are listed in stable condition.
Attention should be on comforting the Comperatore family at this time of such tragic loss. Concern should be on the healing of those who are injured.
Republicans are typically the ones offering thoughts and prayers, and we actually mean it, while Democrats yell that thoughts and prayers aren’t enough, government must grab guns. And do it within hours of the shooting. I’m betting that Trump, and other Republicans, will mention Comperatore and others during their speeches, that they will be lauded.
The focus of this horrible incident now should be on:
- Comforting the innocent victims;
- Examining what happened and why;
- Exploring what, if anything could have been or should have been done to prevent it;
- Restoring civility and respectful dialogue into our political environment that has become overheated, bombastic and, as evidenced most recently, inciteful.
There already are serious questions being raised about the precautions and actions of the security around Trump that need to be answered. Did the Trump campaign seek added protection? If so, was it denied ad why?
The CBC should immediately work towards restoring civility and respectful dialogue on their NBC station, WRAL, for their website and broadcast TV. Where was the CBC after the George Floyd incident, when Democrats raged and rioted and burned things and so much more, and the Democrats were fundraising and calling to institute all sorts of things?
In October 2022 Paul Pelosi, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Palosi was assaulted by an intruder in their San Francisco home. In 2017 U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana was shot and injured. In 2011 former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords and 18 others were shot at an Arizona meeting with her constituents.
Scalise, a Republican, couldn’t restrain his partisan instincts when he sought to blame Biden and Democrats for the shooting. “For weeks Democrat leaders have been fueling ludicrous hysteria that Donald Trump winning re-election would be the end of democracy in America. Clearly we’ve seen far left lunatics act on violent rhetoric in the past. This incendiary rhetoric must stop.”
Pelosi tried to fundraise. Giffords tried to grab guns, and is still trying, even though she and her husband have handguns. Scalise was 100% right, just like how Democrats have demonized Trump.
A few hours after the shooting, the Trump campaign sent fundraising emails declaring “I WILL NEVER SURRENDER.” Almost exactly a day after the attempt on his life, Trump blasted out a fundraising email announcing “I was going to delay my trip to Wisconsin and the Republican National Convention by two days, but I have just decided not to let this force a change to any scheduling. I am Donald J. Trump! … MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN 2024.”
The election will, and must, go on. The campaigning isn’t going to stop – nor should it.
The tragedy in Butler, Pennsylvania should not be frivolously exploited for a quick campaign buck.
Those who pursue that route only display their lack of integrity and unfitness for public office.
Hmm, so, the CBC is turning up the heat, being disrespectful. Democrats will always try and fundraise off mass shootings and other tragedies, saying we need to Do Something. In case they missed it, a wacko tried to kill Trump. We’ll see what they CBC says the next time there is some tragedy and Democrats fundraise. Oh, and surely how nasty NBC affiliate WRAL will get during the convention.

Amazingly, this was the top headline for the Denver Post web edition for smartphone browsers, above a wackjob trying to kill a former president and current contender. It just goes to show how much sway the climate cult has in the Credentialed Media
Chainsaws buzzed as members of a saw crew cut down an invasive Russian olive tree that had been sucking precious water and nutrients from the High Line Canal in Aurora.
The crew members are some of the first participants in the new American Climate Corps — a federal effort by the Biden administration to put young people to work to address the effects of climate change. In its first year, nearly 900 corps positions are based in Colorado.
None in the crew of 18- to 24-year-olds, who are employed by Mile High Youth Corps, had wielded chainsaws before this summer. That didn’t deter 21-year-old crew leader Alex Dills. He joined the corps because he wanted a job where he could work outside on parks and trails before completing his degree in economics and math at the University of Denver, and then working a desk job.
“I get to go out and make a tangible difference,” Dills said.
How dare trees that suck carbon pollution from the air grow! Anyhow, it’s a cute way to give young climate cultists federal pay, indoctrinate them more, and make sure they stay Democrat voters. How soon till the ACC is unionized?
The American Climate Corps aims to employ 20,000 young people nationwide to tackle a range of projects, including forest management, building weatherization and educating people about sustainability.
It will be interesting to see if they actually do the projects, forest management (how well has that worked out in Leftist California?), and weatherization, or, if it is mostly indoctrination of other Comrades, especially young children.
Many of the current American Climate Corps openings in Colorado are on the Front Range, with more than half of job postings based in Denver. Other positions are based in Hotchkiss, Hesperus and Jamestown.
The job duties vary widely, from helping Denver students become more environmentally literate to a six-month program learning climate-resilient farming techniques in southwest Colorado.
Yup, indoctrinating kids. I have to wonder how many of the youts involved actually want to learn farming. They most likely feel that they are too well educated and fill of class to be farming.

Biden makes primetime plea to ‘cool it down’ after Trump shooting
President Biden on Sunday night made a primetime plea to lower the temperature in American politics after a gunman shot at former President Trump at a rally the day prior.
“The political rhetoric in this country has gotten very heated. It’s time to cool it down,” Biden said in remarks in the Oval Office. “This places an added burden on all of us that no matter how strong our convictions, we must never descend into violence.”
“Let’s remember here in America, while unity is the most elusive of goals right now, nothing is more important for us now than standing together. We can do this,” Biden said.
Who’s president during this time of massive disunity?
“There is no place in America for this time of violence, for any violence, ever. Period, no exceptions. We can’t allow this violence to be normalized,” Biden said in the primetime remarks.
Tell that to those who rebelled against England.
“In America, we resolve our differences at the ballot box. That’s how we do it, at the ballot box, not with bullets,” he said. “The power of change in America should always rest in the hands of people, not in the hands of a would-be assassin.”
He actually said “battle box.”
“Tonight, I’m asking every American to recommit to make America… what it is. Think about it, what’s made America so special? Here in America, everyone must be treated with dignity and respect and hate must have no safe harbor,” he added.
He almost said “make America great again.” Anyhow, also Biden
Americans want a president, not a dictator.

His team may have deleted the tweet (don’t federal records keeping laws require it to be kept?), but, it’s still on Politico, who first reported it.
