JULY 23. THE PARTY THAT LOST ITS KING HAS A CHALLENGER BY MORNING.
SHE HAS NEVER RUN FOR THIS. THE NUMBERS MOVE ANYWAY.
(NBC News Poll: Lyin’ Kamala Harris is the most unpopular Vice President in history. WOW, that is not a great sound bite!)
HE HAS DECIDED WHAT THE SHOT MEANT.
The Biden/Harris Administration did not properly protect me, and I was forced to take a bullet for Democracy. IT WAS MY GREAT HONOR TO DO SO!
THE BUREAU TELLS CONGRESS IT IS NOT SURE THERE WAS A BULLET.
“FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress yesterday that he wasn’t sure if I was hit by shrapnel, glass, or a bullet (the FBI never even checked!)…”

This week in the saga
CHAPTER 51 OPENS. The old king is gone and the field does not stay empty for a day: by Tuesday morning the party that lost him has a challenger who has never stood on a ballot for this office, and the halls she inherits are already full. From the dark he reads her numbers aloud to himself — the most unpopular deputy in history, he says, not a great sound bite. In daylight he decides what the graze at the fairground means: he was not lucky, he was chosen, and it was his great honor to take it. Thursday the director of the national bureau tells Congress he is not sure it was even a bullet, and the answer comes back within the day — no glass, no shrapnel, a wound to the ear, and a bureau that has lost the country. By Friday he has announced where he is going next: back to Butler, to the same field, for the fire chief who died there.
