The strange case of Ryan Routh
The more we look into Ryan Routh's history, the stranger it gets. Routh hailed from a good family. He was the son of a Chemist and is the brother of a banker and a lawyer. Routh was once named the citizen of the year by the local police department where he grew up, after he saved a woman from a rapist. How did he become involved in so many crimes? So how did he come to be flagged to the FBI?
He couldn't pay child support and only had $68 in his bank account, yet he was flying all over the world. The other house he stayed at in Hawaii is believed to be owned by his girlfriend. The girlfriend the FBI can't seem to locate. Routh once spent two weeks in Taiwan. He went to Turkey, Poland and then Ukraine. He spent 8 months there. Who did he meet with there? Supposedly he was recruiting fighters for Ukraine from Afghanistan and Iraq and Syria.
Then he flies back to America and tries to kill the former President.
Very strange. Fear not. The FBI is on it.
There is another strange case out there. You may not have heard about it but an Alaska man was arrested for allegedly threatening to injure and kill six Supreme Court Justices and some of their family members in retaliation for decisions he disagreed with. They won't tell us who the 6 Justices are, but I think we can all guess. After all we have an ideological divide on the Court with 6 on one side and 3 always on the other.

Good morning.
Kamala Harris and Oprah Winfrey. Kenny Holston/The New York Times
Oprah Winfrey hosted a livestream forum for Kamala Harris. Guests included the family of a woman who died as a consequence of Georgia’s abortion ban. There were no questions concerning any of Harris Marxist ideas on price controls or electric car mandates. As Mark Penn said on a nightly news show: "The Trump voter seems to be voting on policies, while the Harris voter seems to be voting on likeability."
Georgia's abortion ban is not connected to a policy? If not, then why did they do it?
What does that mean?
Who cares what the people of Georgia decide to do on abortion.
lol.
Kamala did repeat her idea of helping small business with more money:
"Part of my plan is to give startup small businesses a $50,000 tax deduction. Right now, it's $5,000. Nobody can start a small business with $5,000"
KAMALA: "In terms of both rightly having the right to have aspirations and dreams and ambitions for your family and working hard and finding that the American Dream is, for this generation & so many recently, far more elusive than it's been, and we need to deal with that."
Oprah Winfrey: "This is the moment for all decent people. All caring people. Who want the best for yourself and you want the best for other people.. People who are exhausted by the craziness and the made up stories and the conspiracies."
so she's endorsing Trump?
Good point. Unfortunately, Trump is white.
Worst word salad ever !
There were those moments when Oprah looked like she wished she was somewhere else.
I wonder why Oprah is backing her?
Because like most Americans Oprah's networth has doubled since 2020?
Link please
The people of Georgia? The women of Georgia?
The S&P index is supposed to prove that individuals net worth has doubled since 2020?
Lol, I don't think so.
Is that all you have?
What about them?
Indeed.
Many are exhausted with the hate and lies made up and amplified and repeated regarding Springfield and Aurora.
And now the former 'president' said he's going to visit there in the next two weeks
Two cities rocked by false Trump claims prepare for him to visit
T he mayors of Aurora, Colorado , and Springfield, Ohio , have offered differing responses to the prospect of a visit to their cities from former President Trump ."
Why it matters: Both mayors are grappling with high tensions and safety concerns after Trump and other GOP lawmakers spread false or exaggerated claims about their cities.
Driving the news: At a Wednesday night rally, Trump said he planned to make stops in both cities within the next two weeks.
State of play: Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, a Republican, told Axios Thursday that city officials are waiting for confirmation from the campaign that Trump is coming.
However, the Republican mayor of Springfield, Rob Rue, said at a news conference Tuesday that a visit from Trump would put "an extreme strain" on the city's resources, following reports the former president was planning a trip there.
Zoom out: Despite calls from members of their party to stop circulating the rumors and consistent reports that the claims were false, the GOP ticket doubled down and has since repeatedly shirked blame for the threats to Springfield that have ensued.

Are we still talking about eating dogs?
Is that all the media wants to talk about?
You asked the question. You just don't like my factual answers.
What did that piece have to do with Georgia voters or women?
[✘]
1.1.5 your comment which I responded to
Did you forget?
Certainly not after her “Bidenomics” took hold ….
Two reasons …. You can guess …..
Your comment that I was responding to.
'What does that mean?
Who cares what the people of Georgia decide to do on abortion.'
Did you forget?
You mean price controls and an electric car.
I got to admit, I don't think I could take another 4 years of it.
You are not alone. Far from it.
Lol. What a hoax that was.
She died because she took an abortion pill. The abortion pill killed her.
What would the political right be without endless conspiracy theories to lean on? Sociologists and historians will be mulling over this for generations.
What theory are you talking about?
Evidently you dont read your own words.
That is more fact than theory............
Those are FACTS John.
I asked what the FACTS amounted to.
It sounds like you don't like questions being asked.
The article implies , quite clearly, that Routh's overseas trip included a "meeting" where the assassination of Trump was discussed by some sinister forces, no doubt connected in the conspiracy mind to Biden and Harris.
It never ends with you people.
It doesn't imply that, although one can wonder about it since Iran wants Trump dead and has hacked his campaign and given the information to the Harris campaign.
FACTS are important.

Vic, if I say what I would like to it would be deleted.
You said that and then connected the thought to his coming back and trying to kill Trump. Asking who he met with is not a fact, it is a conspiracy theory.
This endless bs coming from the far right is beyond tiresome.
Well then ask your friend Vic what the implication of his "question" was. I'm tired of explaining basic reality to you guys.
Be my guest. I haven't flagged anyone all week.
Asking who he met with is definitely a question. Not a conspiracy theory.
Let me ask you this question: Do you think we will ever know who he met with over there?
The only people who care are those with the conspiracy theory. You cant get out of your own way.
Is he supposed be a figure from The Manchurian Candidate or something?
People don't care about the motive?
Really?

Look how many things the left called "conspiracy theories" turned out to be fact.
And how many of their alleged "facts" turned out to be hoaxes.

Still waiting
Like Tulsi Gabbard?
Yes, they put her on the terror watch list. A veteran, whom they don't like.
They say that Taylor Swift's well-timed endorsement of Kamala Harris had little effect on the election.
Maybe if the voting age included 12-year-olds it might have helped.
Or maybe the endorsement of someone who hasn't made a career singing about their bad decisions?
It's a wonder that I'm not a fan of hers.
Or maybe it is because trumps poll numbers are better than hers? he has a higher favorability number than Swift does?
Her entire candidacy is a fraud perpetrated by our dishonest media. Fifty years ago, the media would’ve exposed her, and she wouldn't have a chance.
She doesn't need any more fans. Also, she's an actual billionaire and savvy businesswoman unlike the former 'president' convicted felon,
He certainly isn't a businesswoman, but he was President and back then inflation was below 2%.
Fraud?
Exposed her?
For what?
What the huh?
Fifty years ago? What does fifty years ago have to do with now?
Did you forget that this is the 21st century?
He's not a savvy business'man' either.
What does one have to do with the other?
You must be weaving.
lol
One more time... the average age of Taylor Swift fans is 34.
I don't think you got it. An adult is not swayed by an entertainer's endorsement, whether they are a fan or not.
I thought it was a good (non-sexual) joke!
You've just crushed the spirit of Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock.
Who?
If it doesn't work than why did Hulk Hogan have a speaking spot at the RNC and why is stumping around swing states now for Trump?
Also at the RNC:
Amber Rose (model and rapper)
Lee Greenwood (singer songwriter)
Chris Janson (singer)
Russell Brand (comedian, actor, sexual predator)
Savannah Chrisley (reality tv star and daughter of convicted tax evaders)
Dana White (CEO of UFC)
Jason Aldean (singer)
Kid Rock (singer and fake redneck)
Weird you think none of these people move the needle and they are just wasting their time.
That is exactly what I think.
Do you know what moves needles?
The price of groceries. The price of rent. The price of gas.
The former 'president' will do absolutely nothing to change that.
You mean he won't do what he did during his first term?
Why on earth not?
There are many many many many many many women who are swifties - their average age is 34.
Hundreds of thousands went to register to vote after her endorsement. No, it made no difference. lol
Link please
hahaha there is no indication that any of those clicks were those of age NOR US citizens. She supposedly has 284 million followers FFS
"Four hundred thousand people clicked-through from Taylor Swift’s Instagram account to a federal voting information site in 24 hours, but social media posts have misrepresented that number as a tally of new voter registrations.
Taylor Swift mobilizes 3X more voters than Biden with Harris endorsement
Miss Americana finally weighed in on the future of the nation, or at least who should hold the reigns.
Last week, billionaire pop star Taylor Swift endorsed Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris right after the debate. We're just now starting to see how much power the Swiftie voting block holds, as Swift’s impact solidifies.
Biden backed Harris just shy of 2 p.m. on July 1st with a memo posted to Twitter . While he didn’t have a unique URL, his endorsement’s weight can be measured (while perhaps casting a wider net) by looking at traffic from vote.gov that same 24-hour period. During that time frame, there was a total of 109,208 total users to said site, according to GSA.
That’s all to say, Swift’s endorsement carried 3.7 times the weight of Biden’s.
Visitors to vote.gov vary too widely to provide a consistent daily visitor average. Vote.gov tends to receive more visitors during presidential election years, and around significant election events. During the eve and day of the debate, Vote.gov received around 726,000 visitors.
Swift spoke out against an AI post using her likeness in which she appeared to endorse Former President Donald Trump, as shared by Trump on his platform Truth Social.
“I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice,” she wrote, explaining she’s voting for Harris as a champion of causes she believes in and her running mate Tim Waltz as he supports “LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body.” She signed her letter “Taylor Swift, childless cat lady ,” as an apparent reference to Trump’s running mate JD Vance’s comments.
People are divided on Swift, as 44% of “likely voters” report feeling favorably for her and 34% unfavorably per a New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and Siena College poll conducted in September.
But no matter what party you’re in, there’s no denying Swift’s apparent influence . In just six months, her Era’s Tour generated $5 billion in consumer spending according to estimates from Nomura . United Airlines says that Swift’s concerts sent travel demand up by 25%. With a cultish following that leads to fans traveling nationally to her concerts, Swift has fashioned herself into more of a corporation than a pop star.
Do you know who's never had to worry about paying for groceries, rent or gas? This guy:
No.
You mean the guy who kept them low?
In that case put him right back in the White House!
He didn't do dick during his first term except lower taxes for those who did not need to have their taxes lowered.
He didn't keep them low. Provide proof of your statement.
Link?
Vic , I did read once she made her endorsement , she shared a link to vote.gov on her fan site . and that at the time i read the article , it had garnered over 330,000 hits through that portal , problem is , no one knows exactly how those registrants will vote , they of course are free to assume anything .
So i will at least give her kudos for getting people to register at the least .
RIGHT HERE:
Trump Vs. Harris Economic Primer: From Gas Prices To Inflation And Cost Of Living (forbes.com)
They are only hits.
So i will at least give her kudos for getting people to register at the least .
I don't give awards for her getting people to vote who weren't going to vote. There has to be a reason to vote for somebody.
That didn't prove anything.
Little effect because Harris is already winning!
Harris will end up winning by 20,000,000 votes.
Ok. We shall see.
Yes, you will.
The average swiftie is aged 34.
It helped.
maga are so desperate
Love it!
Looks like your typical soy boy to me.
if he is whatever that is, you seem to be the first one here to have noticed. good job.
Onto the next article, this one reeks of a one-toy playgroup.
True, some 'articles' are such a waste of time.

How Much or what do you think Powell was offered to lower the prime by a half point this close to an election?
As much as could be stuffed into Clarence Thomas's RV.
