The suspect studied engineering and is a graduate of the California Institute of Technology, also known as Caltech, according to materials shared with CNN.<\/p>\n

As we reported just moments ago, authorities have identified the suspected gunman as a\u00a030-year-old male from California<\/a>, according to multiple law enforcement officials briefed on the latest. [CNN<\/strong><\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A nation in which political power is shifted via warfare does not end well<\/strong>; but some folks will argue that, at some point, it’s a necessity and we must take the chance.<\/p>\n

And how does one argue the point? What measurements are used, when are we so close to the abyss that we must?<\/p>\n

But here’s another point that will need consideration: Just reading the above link, what I read and see puts me in the mood of a classic Hollywood production<\/em>. The President the target of bullets, his guards close around him and rush him off, then he holds a press conference where he extols how all came together for a vital moment, and then the virtues of his new ballroom … ok, that’s a plot twist I didn’t expect.<\/p>\n

But a correction: alleged<\/em> target of bullets.<\/p>\n

Because, yes, this sounds scripted to me. I am almost certainly wrong<\/em>, but if investigative reporters come out with the discovery that this is all a setup, I WILL NOT BE SURPRISED.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The President’s a sick man, and sick people, deprived of a moral compass by life, upbringing, or by illness, will attempt such a scheme that achieves important goals for them that another person wouldn’t dare. Perhaps the President wants to be the center of attention, or wants public support for his proposed ballroom; or perhaps he wants attention pulled<\/strong> away<\/strong> from the developing debacle at the Strait of Hormuz, or away from the Epstein Files<\/strong> and their potentially fatal load.<\/p>\n

There’s a multitude of goals that a stunt of this caliber might achieve simultaneously. For a man who has no concept of morality, it’s not hard to see him using the Correspondents’ Dinner<\/strong> for his own purposes.<\/p>\n

And we may never know for certain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
