The strange case of Ryan Routh

The strange case of Ryan Routh
"We allege that the defendant made repeated, heinous threats to murder and torture Supreme Court justices and their families to retaliate against them for decisions he disagreed with," Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.


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.


In the news:

Startling numbers of people on the terror watch list may be in the country according to testimony before a House Committee yesterday.

The Israeli offensive in Lebanon has intensified as IDF forces struck 100 Hezbollah targets immediately after the leader of Hezbollah said that the group would retaliate for the pager sabotage.

In posts on an online porn forum more than a decade ago, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson of North Carolina, the Republican nominee for governor, described himself as "a black Nazi." It is mainly all the media is focused on now. Robinson denied the posts were his. Some aides to Donald Trump had hoped Robinson would withdraw, but Robinson has refused.

Stocks reached new highs after the Fed cut interest rates and made it easier for investors to borrow on the cheap and get decent returns.

Lawmakers are discussing increasing the Secret Service’s budget after two assassination attempts against Trump.

The sheriff of a rural Kentucky county walked into a courthouse and fatally shot a district judge after an argument.

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."

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."

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.

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.

The global pop star   announced   her support of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in an Instagram post minutes after the presidential debate on Tuesday and encouraged her 284 million followers to register to vote in the Nov. 5 election. In a subsequent Instagram story, she shared a custom URL directing to vote.gov"

So i will at least give her kudos for getting people to register at the least .
