Sick a$$holes popping up everywhere: "Days Before Latest Trump Assassination Attempt, Jimmy Kimmel Gave Mock White House Correspondents’ Dinner Speech Taunting First Lady Melania: 'Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow'”.

A few choice words from Mark Steyn in the wake of the WHCD assassination attempt

The Secret Service Makes Me Nervous.

The perp is the usual pliable boob out of central casting - in this case, a "Teacher of the Month" from California. But the interior of a DC hotel shouldn't be that hard a venue to secure. Even forty-five years ago, when Ronald Reagan was shot at the very same Hilton, the would-be assassin had to wait till the President was leaving the joint and take a potshot on the sidewalk.

"Illinois Bill to Turn All Parks Into Homeless Encampments".

Governor Pritzker obviously has presidential ambitions, and the fact that he packs a lot of evil on the hoof, not to mention more money than you can imagine, makes him dangerous.

Four guys drinking Minocqua and watching a Packers game.

A guy goes in to get his annual physical. He's a practical joker, so he substitutes a cup of Minocqua beer for his own urine. Gets a call from his doctor a few days later. "You're in pretty good shape, Mr. Smith, but I regret to report that your horse has diabetes."

Par for the course

Some brainwashed would-be "hero" - a teacher from California, naturally - tried to shoot up the White House Correspondents' Dinner last night, resulting in the evacuation of President Trump, his family and various administration officials.  Our fine betters, as friend and commenter Veeshir calls them, responded with a mixture of disappointment (that the President managed to survive what was most likely another assassination attempt), blame for the president (he has poisoned the well of civilized discourse, don't you know), and speculation that the whole thing was staged: "The Left Were Absolute Psychopaths Following the Attack on the WHCA Dinner".

Update From the horse's mouth:

Cole Allen, the suspect in the shooting outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner, told law enforcement following his arrest that he wanted to shoot Trump administration officials, two sources told CBS News.

The suspect didn't specifically say he was targeting President Trump, just "administration officials," a law enforcement source said.

Show of hands: how many people think the shooter was there mainly to gun down, say, the Secretary of Agriculture? 

Belated best wishes...
