'Irresponsible, heedless borrowing'

'why is the @washingtonpost headline backwards?'

'These individuals took extreme measures to try and cover their actions, but they were no match for our investigators'

The witness lives in southeastern New Mexico. The Bigfoot or 'furry people' activity the witness describes is similar to the activity seen in the Navajo Nation reservation / Four Corners area. Even though more New Mexico residents are beginning to realize the presence of these beings. Let's hope that there can be a peaceful co-existence."One of the truly exquisite things about living in the high desert is the night sky. Most nights of the year, where I am, at nearly 7,000 feet, it is like black velvet, with diamonds tossed across it. The stars are bright, big, and beautiful. Immediately after moving, one of my favorite things, even in the miserable cold of winter was walking the dog, very late, after midnight. It was like the night sky was there, for a special display, just for walking the dog.It all began during the winter of 2000, late at night, maybe 2:30AM or so. The first time I heard something strange, it was a loud huffing and puffing, like someone breathing in and out - loudly. It sounded like cows I've heard, but louder and a bit stranger. Having been on the outs with an on-again-off-again fiancé who could be a total jerk at times, I wondered if he had been prowling around. I mentioned it to him a few days later. He started making a noise that was similar, but not the same.About a week later, about the same time, I was terrorized by the scratching of two raccoon at my bedroom window. My bedroom window is a double window, and level with the ground. Making myself go look, I peaked through the blinds. The two creatures were terrified, clawing the glass, trying to get inside, like they were trying to get away from something.There was nothing I could do. I went back to bed, terrified. A few minutes later, they were no longer at the window. I heard them scream, horribly, then there was silence. Raccoon never again prowled around my window. We had numerous feral cats. Once in awhile, at night, there would be this blood-curdling scream, then silence.For years, in the evenings, around dusk, I'd pull into my carport, and have this feeling of something not quite right. I was almost afraid. There were evenings when I would rush to unload my car, and get inside, before dark. It was a creepy feeling, like something was watching me.Something or someone would prowl around my carport. I swear everyone in the neighborhood was feeding feral cats. This would lead to skunks sneaking in for dry cat food. Skunks and cats get along quite well. I learned during this time that you could rarely smell one of the skunks, unless they sprayed, which happened, rather frequently. I would leave a can of wet food outside for a family of cats I was feeding. The cat food would be put on 6 inch styrofoam plates. If I did not get them picked up, on a regular basis, I would go outside to find the plates arranged in a formation – quite often in a perfectly straight line.It was obvious someone was prowling around the carport. At that time, I did not have a close neighbor, which was also a bit creepy. I quit taking the dog outside for evening walks, rather switching to pee pads. Night was weird. A friend set up security lights for me. They lasted about a month or so. I would see them flash on, through the peep hole in my front door. I’d go look and nothing would be outside – maybe a fleeting shadow of a person, but that was it.This went on for years. There were times when I felt almost under siege. In 2005 my older dog died, and was replaced by an obnoxious yapping puppy. He would rush into my entry, lunge at the door, and bark, hysterically. I’d turn the outside light on, and see nothing.That was the problem – nothing. Something was outside, prowling. By this time we knew there was a mountain lion who resided near-by. There were numerous deer. Bear would amble through on a regular bases. There would be raccoon but they were never around back, just the carport. There was something of a pecking order. The feral cats would eat, then share with the skunks. Raccoon would come in, later in the evening. By morning, nothing would be left of the cat food.Around this time, I enlarged my front entry and added a larger peep-hole. I also had a glass storm door put in front of of my new front door. I never locked the storm door. Things continued on and off for another 5 years or so. Then, one night, late, the dog lunged at the front door. By this time he would sometimes bark, but not often. I went to check on it, not turning on the light in the entry. I could hear the storm door open, and saw the handle on my front door move. Terrified, I checked the peep hole, which was now dark. Something, the palm of a hand was over it.The following evening, I started locking the storm door. A few nights after that, the dog lunged at the door. By the time I turned on the outside light, nothing was there. The following morning, I discovered that something had peed all over the storm door, starting at the half-way point of the door. The door was about 8 inches of the ground, with a three inch step up into my home. The bottom half of the door was at least 5 feet off the carport floor. The pee had dripped down, all over the glass.I was told that it had to be one huge dog, to pee that high.In 2004, there were numerous Bigfoot reports on the Mescalero reservation, several along Carrizo Canyon, which is not that far from where I live. Like everyone else, I found it fascinating. It turned out that one of the girls who was peeped is a friend of a friend’s daughter, in the same class at school with her.No one wanted to talk about it. That seems to be a theme around Lincoln County. No one wants to talk about it. I’d read the Lincoln County report, and tried to talk to someone involved in it. Forget that.I knew there were Bigfoot in the area, but that was it. I also had given up walking the dog, outside, at night. It was too spooky. Just the knowledge that lions and bears, oh my, were prowling, within attacking distance, was enough to keep me indoors. Adding the fact that something else might be out there, and I don’t even like opening the front door, even though the storm door is locked.I do not want to see what’s out there….There comes a time when a person becomes just plain old paranoid. You know something is going on outside. You can feel it. But – it doesn’t make sense. It isn’t all the time, either. Just some evenings, something doesn’t feel right. I began noticing, about 4 years ago, that my weird feelings were often accompanied by a brief whiff of Eau de Mephitis mephitis. But, unlike the normal emission from the southbound side of a northbound creature, this odor did not linger. It would come and go, fairly quickly. It was also not all encompassing, and strong. Anyone who has ever had the misfortune of having their bedroom windows anointed by such an odor knows how nauseating it can be, and how it will linger. Instead, it was more an earthy version, rather like a bit of wet dog, along with skunk odor. Even stranger is that the odor moved. I could smell it at one part of my home, then another. The odor would be in the front, the carport, then a few minutes later, it would be under the balcony doors where I sit and write. Some nights it would be outside my bedroom.I reached the point where I was so spooked that I would stay up, working most of the night. I’m a night-owl anyway, so it wasn’t much of a sacrifice. My brain doesn’t function before noon. Unless I’m working on very annoying edits and layout, I work better after midnight. I noticed when I would go to bed, and turn off the lights, I could hear something outside. The dog would bristle a little. I started leaving the television on all night. Then I started leaving the bedroom lights on all night.(Last week, I went to bed a little early – around 2:30. When I turned off the kitchen lights, the dogs (small) ran to the front door and growled. They then ran downstairs and growled. On the level of my guest room, they looked out the window, growling. I thought about leaving a light on in that room, but did not. I also noticed a slight skunk odor. Tired, I just left the lights on in my bedroom, along with the television.)Not long after putting the weird feelings and the odor together, I told myself I was losing my mind. The area had experienced a major wild-fire, with the mountains surrounding me being burned nearly to a crisp. I was talking to a friend who lives elsewhere. She told me that one of her children told her about the big brown Easter bunny who stood up while their car was driving past. The person was about 5 at the time. She was forever terrified of the big brown Easter bunny. Finally, she told her mother – 30 years later – what the big brown Easter bunny really was. My friend told me to face reality.I started watching the burned out mountain side, having seen something charcoal color blending in with the remaining pinion trees. Then it would move. It was winter – bears hibernate in the winter. I’d go to take photographs, but by then it was no longer there. I’ve since photographed the entire area, for comparison photos.I faced the fact that we were dealing with a Bigfoot. Around that time, a friend was telling me about the hug bear which was dumpster diving. They decided to get a photo of the bear, and would leave fruit on a patio table. The bananas would be peeled, eaten, with the peel remaining on the table. The apple cores would remain. Bears don’t do that.Finally, I asked a neighbor if she had noticed anything. She wanted to know just what. I told her. She told me she thought she was crazy, but knew what she had seen. A good 10 years earlier, while driving to Alamogordo, on Highway 70, at Apache Summit a Bigfoot ran out in front her her car. Both she and her daughter saw it.Apache Summit has a weird feeling to it. There’s something eerie, almost unworldly when you drive through it, rather like the forest primeval. It is quiet, almost silent. I have since learned that numerous individuals have had the same Bigfoot experience there. As usual, no one will talk about it.My friend told me, while walking her dog at night, she would feel things, notice the skunk odor. One evening, she saw our visitor walking around the equestrian states. She was less than a block away from it, with her young dog starting to go a little crazy. By the time she was back by her front door, it was half-way across the lot, walking toward her. That was her second experience seeing something in that area. She no longer walks her dogs at night.We finally admitted what was going on, discussing other incidents. She too felt strange at night. I told her, I swore I had seen things moving in my carport. She told me she swore she had seen things moving in my carport – always just a big dark shadow that disappeared, quickly. She also limits her nighttime comings and goings.Another friend has noticed something prowling around her home. When I told her what we thought it was her answer was “Oh, shit. I was avoiding that.” She too has noticed the specific odor, and had that creepy feeling. Her dogs do the same thing.Last summer, my sister was driving me home. I was telling her about it. Her boyfriend likes to track, has found footprints, things like that – elsewhere. I told her, the night before, while we were outside talking, at a another location, you could tell when they were around – the feeling. She noticed it. She noticed it later in the evening after I had left. When we reached my home, she noticed it as soon as I did. The next day I told my friend about it. She said right before I drove up, our friend had been in her carport, rattling her front door, to make the dogs bark. She has a large security screen door – metal. Her front door was open, for air. She could smell him.Somehow I ended up in a conversation about it, at a friend’s office. His secretary, who had once worked for dispatch for several municipalities told me the majority of the 911 calls in our area, at night are to report Bigfoot activity. She had worked up in Washington, in a rural county, as dispatch. Several of the calls she took about Bigfoot have been uploaded to YouTube.Our friend is quite tall. The only time I’ve ever seen anything of him is when I was looking out my living room window. I saw a tall shadow moving. It’s all I want to see of him. He is a dark umber, which is why he blends with the charred pinion and cedar on the mountain. And, I was told people see him up there. She told me that a lighter colored mother and baby had been seen at the dumpsters near our local Walgreens. There is another, which is to roam around the ski area. The woman was telling me about a local residence, where they are constantly pelted with sticks and stones. Someone I know, who lives near the river, recently told me that one comes up and slams the side of her double-wide, periodically. I know someone who has his family property surrounded by game cams, looking for one.At least I know I’m not out of my mind, that other people have had the same experiences. No one wants to talk about it. What I do know is that game is plentiful. This area has so many deer they are becoming a nuisance. The herds of elk are growing. There is water. There are places to hide. There is pinion. Just don’t expect me to go out looking for it."

Politico Strikes Again: Harris Anointment 'Totally Upended' the Race!

MRC Business took a trip down memory lane to illustrate why Netflix co-founder and Executive Chairman Reed Hastings’ multimillion-dollar support for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidency is about as cringy as it gets.  The Information reported July 23 that Hastings gave a whopping $7 million donation to the leftist Republican Accountability PAC to bolster Harris’ candidacy, “his biggest donation ever in support of a single candidate.” Hastings boasted of his newfound enthusiasm to The Information for the 2024 election after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race, “‘After the depressing debate, we are in the game again.’” But this isn’t the flex that the left may think it is, given the disgusting content that Hastings’ Netflix has continued to stream on its platform and promote with impunity. Look no further than Netflix’s pseudo-comedy hodgepodge That 90’s Show (sequel series to That 70s Show), which is replete with content sexualizing children. In one episode, a grandma tricks teens Jay (Mace Coronel) and Nate (Maxwell Acee Donovan) into her hot tub where she sexually assaults them with her foot as a laugh track plays.  Congrats to Kamala Harris -- now it is time to win — Reed Hastings (@reedhastings) July 23, 2024 Her granddaughter later reveals she does it “all the time,” especially to “the cute ones.” Another example involves the character Donna (Laura Prepon) giving her daughter Leia (Callie Haverda) advice on anal sex. Also, in the episode “Something to Talk About,” a friend group approaches teen Nikki’s (Sam Morelos) door and assumes she’s masturbating when they hear her grunting. In the “I Can See Clearly Now” episode, a scene opens with teen characters Nikki and Nate back together because they can’t resist having sex with each other: Oh but it gets worse. Netflix’s so-called dramedy Survival of the Thickest featured a kid who travels to New York to see his favorite drag queen perform in an adult drag bar as the main characters get him in with the promise he won’t drink. In episode 7, “Let it Out, B*tch!” the character Mavis and her friends go to their favorite drag bar CC Bloom’s where Mavis styles the drag queens. A supposed non-binary high school kid named Billy (Misha Osherovich) who tried to get into the show says “they” paid $32 in tolls just to see drag queen Peppermint (played by real-life drag queen Peppermint) perform. Mavis appeals to the door person Egypt (Rovan Sena) to let Billy in, and Egypt agrees: Animation isn’t even safe on Hastings’ Netflix. Netflix’s popular show targeted at toddlers and preschoolers “CoCoMelon Lane” streamed an episode featuring a little boy Nico dancing in a tutu and tiara gleefully for his two gay dads. Netflix also apparently has a penchant for making the sexualization of children an international phenomenon. In an episode of the Australian dramedy Wellmania, character Liv — miffed that parents didn’t make a birthday party exciting enough for kids — swooped in with a dance party, where young, innocent children are shown playing while the vulgar lyrics to Cardi B’s song “Wet A** Pu**y" plagues the background.  The sick, twisted psyche of Netflix’s creative team seems to know no bounds. The final season of the vile “comedy” F is for Family took the sexualization of children to the utter extremes. Episode four, “Thank You So Much,” families with young children attend a Thanksgiving parade where a donkey float passes and the shadow of its penis falls across the faces of children in the crowd as the emcee remarks how large it is. That’s not all. A vandalized vendor truck also passes with a picture of a little boy enjoying a popsicle with graffiti of a penis ejaculating into the boy’s mouth and female breasts drawn onto his chest. In episode five, The Searchers, child characters Bill and Philip invite friends over to see one of two cartoon films the police allowed them to choose from a box marked “Inadmissible” in the locked evidence cage. However, one of the reels ends up being a pornographic movie, which they accidentally show to their friends. Normal people with a functioning prefrontal cortex would consider the Christmas holiday sancro-sanct for family-friendly content, but not so for the sex-obsessed Netflix. A Christmas episode of the platform’s animated Big Mouth show for tweens was case-in-point. The holiday special, “A Very Big Mouth Christmas” episode begins with "Hormone Monster" Maury saying that the show will deliver what no other Christmas special will – the viewers will see "Santa’s dick." In one scene, two elves (400-year-old virgins) walk in on Santa and Mrs. Claus having sex. When Santa realizes the elves are there, he turns to face them and his naked penis is exposed. Ho ho ho. (NOTE: No, we’re not showing you that scene). Last but not least, who can forget the self-inflicted wound Netflix received when it outraged Americans by peddling the highly disturbing movie Cuties as some sort of highlight of artistic license. “Inappropriate” doesn’t even begin to describe how horrific this movie was. One IMDB parental warning summarized the content succinctly: “During one of the many highly sexualized & erotic dance scenes that purposefully exploit & objectify numerous scantily clad under age girls, one of the female child dancers lifts up her cropped top to fully display her bare breast. This is lawfully defined as pedophilia and can be extremely distressing to many viewers.” Editor's Note: To see the video evidence MRC Business compiled for this blog, visit MRCTV.org.

A fire that ignited following a semi-truck crash along the shoulder of northbound I-15 in San Bernardino County, California, posed such a risk to the area that the highway had to be shut down for nearly two days, leaving travelers stranded for hours.Just before 6 a.m. on Friday, a semitruck carrying a container full of six lithium-ion batteries lost control and rolled over near Barstow, California, and the container of batteries soon afterward detached from the truck's flatbed trailer. When first responders arrived on the scene, they noticed that the container had caught fire, presenting an "inherent danger of fire and potential inhalation hazard," California Highway Patrol said.By 8:30 that morning, authorities had shut down northbound I-15 near the Afton Canyon Road exit, located about 150 miles northeast of Los Angeles and some 75 miles away from the Nevada border. Southbound I-15 was likewise closed in the area.Southbound I-15 was reopened by about 3 p.m. on Friday. One Las Vegas family who had been driving southbound on I-15 to attend a family reunion in California was on the road for 14 grueling hours before reaching their destination. They described the situation as "frustrating" but consider themselves lucky since they had brought water along.Many on I-15 northbound were not so fortunate. Traffic there had soon backed up so badly that many drivers were diverted to I-40, a detour that would extend their trip by hours. Traffic on the I-40 detour then backed up as well, causing yet further delays. Meanwhile, emergency crews responded to calls of travelers experiencing medical issues, including heat-related illnesses. There have also been reports of vehicle trouble, including running out of gas. As first responders assisted those in need, those operating heavy equipment tried for hours to put out the fire or at least move the hazmat container to a safer location.Finally, around 4:30 a.m. on Sunday, nearly 48 hours after the initial rollover crash, northbound I-15 was reopened. "Crews have worked non-stop through the night to carefully move the hazardous materials container a safe distance away from the roadway. As you resume your travels, take all safety precautions and drive with care to your destination," CHP said.Even with the situation cleared, Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo of Nevada cautioned against "unnecessary travel" in the area.Blaze News reached out to CHP to ask further questions about the medical emergencies that arose during the I-15 shutdown. A CHP spokesperson told us that there were no fatalities associated with the shutdown and just four people required transport to an area medical facility. All four are currently recovering, he said.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

A Texas woman said she had a disturbing interaction with a stranger at a bar she and her husband frequent — and that a test indicates someone apparently tried to drug her, because her husband finished her drink and was adversely affected.'He wanted to hurt my wife.'Daniel Zuniga and his wife, Melissa, spoke to KPRC-TV about their alarming experience at Rudyard's Pub in the Montrose neighborhood of Houston. They had been visiting the bar for about two decades. “It was supposed to be just a normal night,” said Zuniga. He said he went to pay their bar tab and left his wife sitting by herself. “I had my drink right here in front of me,” said the wife. “And then I grabbed it, stirred it, drank it, set it down.”She was texting her daughter when a strange man sat next to her and said hello to her. She noted that after she said hello back, he responded, "It looks like you’re stuck with me tonight."She said she thought that was creepy, so she said she grabbed her drink and told him she was going to go get her husband. Zuniga said he didn't want to waste her drink, so he consumed it in one gulp. "I just swung it," he recalled. "I took a big swig."By the time the couple got back home, their family said Zuniga was behaving violently and cursing. “We had to drag him in. He was crawling on the floor," their daughter Natalia said. “We thought he had just been very drunk because we’d never seen him like this." Zuniga said that when he woke up the next day, he didn't remember much of the night. He took an over-the-counter drug test, and it tested positive for drugs he had never ingested. They believe the stranger's intended target was his wife. “It wasn’t even for me,” said Zuniga. “He wanted to hurt my wife, and that’s even more infuriating.”The couple filed a report with the Houston Police Department, and the owner of the bar said employees would help in any way possible. Surveillance video from the bar captured an image of the man police believe tried to drug Zuniga's wife. At one point, he even walked directly behind Zuniga as he waited to pay his bar tab.The interview with the Zunigas as well as the surveillance video were posted on KPRC's YouTube page.Like Blaze News?

The conditions that allowed a 20-year-old would-be assassin to get a clear shot at assassinating former President Donald J. Trump didn’t happen by coincidence, Donald Trump Jr. said July 29.“I don’t honestly think that the guys at the Secret Service — many who I know and respect — magically left an entire roof unguarded where a guy with a rifle could get there for 20 minutes within 150 yards,” Trump Jr. said in an interview with journalist Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson’s Thoughts on Bitcoin | Full Speech and Q&A with Don Trump Jr. youtu.be “Like, that doesn't happen. That's not being a conspiracy theorist,” Trump Jr. said. "Like, you're a freaking idiot if you think that that just happened by coincidence.”The junior Trump’s explosive statement raises the public specter of what has been mostly whispered only in private: Were the U.S. Secret Service or others in government somehow complicit in the attempted assassination? Did would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks have help?J. Michael Waller, senior analyst at the Center for Security Policy and author of the best-selling book “Big Intel: How the CIA Went from Cold War Heroes to Deep State Villains,” said the ugliest explanations cannot be ruled out.“It’s really hard to separate incompetence from willful negligence or even simple negligence or malice," Waller said on the July 19 episode of "Blaze News Tonight." "You can’t rule out malice. You can’t rule out somebody wanted this to happen.”A top-tier U.S. military special operations expert told Blaze News that after examining all of the evidence to date, the hallmarks are there to suggest that Crooks was groomed and trained for an assassination attempt."It’s not in the realm of real possibility for the government to be this incompetent," the special operator said on condition of anonymity. "There is no chance Crooks was not pointed to which building he needed to be on."Rank incompetence vs. rank arrogance. I’ve seen a lot of it in my 30 years in government ops. This was neither," the expert said, suggesting that initial clues are visible in Crooks' behavior. Crooks' 11-minute drone flight two hours before the shooting was likely not for surveillance, the expert said, but for planning his route onto the grounds and up onto the roof. FBI Director Christopher Wray told a U.S. House hearing that Crooks flew the drone some 200 yards from the stage where Trump would speak.The Oversight Project at the Heritage Foundation said geolocation data from a phone linked to Crooks traveled from the Crooks home in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, to Butler on July 4 and July 8. Crooks likely knew the grounds would be changed on the day of the event, due to parking, fencing, and vendor parking and setup, the special ops expert said."A 20-year-old with no military or government training doing so many things correctly — range finder, drone, recon, turning off his phone — had to have been 'groomed' into this process. He was likely paid by some government or dark money source."I don’t think he went rogue or was a rogue operator," the expert said. "I’ve seen and been involved in these types of ops for too many years. He had instructions. One special operator can train or groom about eight to 12 youths quite easily, the ops expert said, including precision operations, such as the setting of explosive devices for kill operations.This is not the kind of thing done with only a single recruit; one operative can run up to 12 guys to take advantage of “multiple opportunities” and then "activate" the right emotionally disturbed and loner kid at the right opportunity."Depending upon the op, I’d need at least nine months for the source vetting and grooming, but I’ve done it in as little as six months," he said. "Then I’d need as little as three days to prep him for the specific operations, after the requisite number of months of grooming."The Trump assassination attempt has likely inspired more people to make attempts, the expert said."Trump is more at risk now than he ever was before," he said. "His security has been stepped up, but that won’t stop a band of — for instance, and I say this with knowledge and authority — 'Somali immigrants,' who are gung ho for Kamala Harris, to risk a suicide operation to take out Trump."If the Trump shooting were some kind of deep-state government op that failed, they would typically put other ops on hold and allow more radical groups to take charge, he said.The mere thought of other operatives primed to try to get at Trump again has already prompted discussion among experts in law enforcement, event security, and even military special operations. Protecting former President Trump until — and beyond — Election Day will require the helping hands of combat-hardened private security contractors, they say.“Today’s Secret Service doesn’t merely need additional, immediate help from private companies,” Waller wrote in a July 24 Blaze News opinion column.'It is essential that we have a proper election and that these issues are solved at the ballot box and not with a cartridge box.'“It’s clear from the attempted murder of Trump that its dysfunctional personnel quality, driven by politicized policy, runs deep,” Waller said. “This is where the privatization of Secret Service functions can help correct the problem quickly.”Waller said the developments surrounding the assassination attempt now demand bringing in third-party experts for protection details and event security. He suggested that Erik Prince, founder of the security firm Blackwater, be tapped to take charge of Trump's security."No one on earth has a better record of protecting their people than Erik Prince," Waller said on the July 19 episode of "Blaze News Tonight." "When he was with Blackwater, he had a 100-percent perfection record of protecting the lives of the Americans whom his people were there to save." Senator DEMANDS Secret Service Director Cheatle Resign | Guest: Sen. Marsha Blackburn | 7/19/24 youtu.be Waller wrote that today’s Secret Service had its roots in the Civil War era, when President Abraham Lincoln hired the Pinkerton National Detective Agency to provide counterintelligence. Pinkerton private security operatives had uncovered and thwarted a plot to assassinate Lincoln in Baltimore in 1861.In July 2008, presidential candidate and future President Barack Obama was protected on a trip to Afghanistan by the private security firm Blackwater, Waller said. Blackwater set the standard for protecting Americans in the most dangerous environments, he said.Prince said integrating private operatives into the existing Secret Service infrastructure would be complicated.“Integrating private contracted support in with the federal effort would be exceedingly difficult and exceedingly dangerous, especially for the private guys because the federal bureaucracy will always protect itself and will always hang the private guys out to dry,” Prince said on the July 16 episode of "Blaze News Tonight."“That being said, if the mission required it and if President Trump actually asked for it, I’m sure we can find a way to help him out because it is essential that we have a proper election and that these issues are solved at the ballot box and not with a cartridge box.”Prince said the stakes could not be higher in finding out what went wrong with security on July 13 and ensuring that it doesn’t happen again.“It was not Secret Service excellence that saved President Trump,” he said. “It was bad aim, President Trump turning his head, and probably the flap of an angel’s wings. We literally, the nation, dodged a bullet on Saturday.”Another U.S. special forces operator who trains Secret Service counter-sniper and counter-surveillance teams told Blaze News that outside security help is a must.
