I don't think this is the first time a democrat running amok with a gun has led to calls for stricter gun laws. Self-affirming legislation. "Can't you see how violent I am!?! You have to get rid of guns so I don't kill someone!!!"
Brilliant.
"It's time to put Trump in the Bulls-Eye"
He was a registered republican ... who donated to Act Blue
With a largely drama-less Democratic presidential field ... super PAC is hoping to persuade Democrats to drop their party affiliation and vote strategically to influence GOP primaries...
Leaders at PrimaryPivot aren’t coy about their motivations. The super PAC wants to “weaken and defeat” former president Donald Trump in key states
Allowing voters of any party to take part in either the Republican or Democratic presidential primary often invites mischief, commonly referred to as party-crashing. Party-crashing occurs when voters of one party support a candidate in the other party's primary to bolster their chances
A growing segment of the U.S. population is not affiliated with either the Republican or Democratic parties, and is therefore blocked from taking part in closed presidential primaries.
In recent months, a handful of left-leaning groups have popped up with the goal of persuading Democrats to back Haley ....
If Trump poses an extraordinary threat to American democracy — as many liberals and left-leaning independents believe — then those same voters should embrace extraordinary methods to stop him. And Schwartz believes, the most effective tactic to stop Trump is for liberal and independents to vote as Republicans for Haley

He was an antifa commie, who donated to Act Blue.
If I had to guess, he registered republican to vote for Oz in PA's closed primaries.
It's a common tactic on the left to get bad candidates on the ballot.
Let's put forward some facts about the career of the Kimberly Cheattle, current head of the USSS:
She first joined the USSS in 1995, and retired in late 2019. When she retired she was Assistant Direçtor of Protective Operations. She had
previously served as Special Agent in Charge of the Atlanta USSS Office.
She was a member of the VP Protective Detail during the Obama Admin, including some time as a supervisor. That brought her into direct contact with
the Bidens.
After Trump was elected she moved to Deputy Assistant Director of USSS for Training, and later Assistant Director for Protective Operations, the
position she held when she retired.
She then went into Corporate Security for Pepsico.
But an interview she gave for the publication "Women In Security" -- combined with what she's done since becoming USSS Director -- is interesting:
“I kept a photo on my desk of the first five women sworn into the service, and I used that to remind me that these women created opportunities for
me and I can help others grow and lead as well.”
There is a video that has been posted in numerous places where, as Director, she talks about the need to diversify the ranks of the USSS and has
established a goal of hiring 30% female USSS Agents by 2030.
Did I mention that she is the recipient of the "Women in Federal Law Enforcement Public Service Award."
Notice a pattern?
She was appointed by Biden in Aug. 2022 shortly after the USSS came under fire after claiming that all its communications from Jan 6 were
"unavailable."
But for some reason, in 2021 -- two years after she left Govt for Pepsico -- she was given a Presidential Rank Award.
All that really is is a cash bonus for Senior Executive Service members -- the highest level of Civil Service in the Govt. The cash award is 20% of
their base salary.
It seems odd to me that Biden would gift her a $40,000 cash bonus more that 2 years after she left Govt service, and then 8 months later name her to
head the USSS.
In addition, it seems like another example of Biden elevating someone personally close to him AND DR. JILL -- and I think likely more so Jill than him
-- to a position of high importance where keeping the family's secrets was a necessity.
Reminds me of Catherine Russell -- Dr. Jill's Chief of Staff while Second Lady -- who was named Dir. of WH Personnel Office at the start of the Biden
Admin. That job put her in charge of the Office that vetted all political appointees in all Exec. Branch Depts and Agencies for the new Admin.
Time for Dir. Cheattle to answer questions before Congress.
