More Information About the Man Shot Near the White House

https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/05/06/more-information-about-the-man-shot-near-the-white-house-n3814666

On Monday afternoon, a man was shot by the Secret Service on the National Mall near the Washington Monument. There was eventually a press briefing by the Secret Service and we learned that the man had been spotted by a plain-clothes agent patrolling the outer perimeter of the White House. That agent had identified a gun and called in cars with uniformed secret service agents.

None of what happened was captured on video but allegedly the man with the gun saw he was being followed by cops and ran. He also pulled his weapon and fired at the Secret Service. They fired back and he was struck more than once. He was arrested and taken to a hospital. In the crossfire, a 15-year-old bystander was also hit but his injuries were not life-threatening.
...
Today we're learning a bit more from U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro about the suspect, including his name. Also, the shooter said some things in the ambulance on the way to the hospital that might be revealing.

Quote
"One of the things that he said on the way to the hospital was, 'F the White House,' and 'Kill me, kill me, kill me' -- three times," Pirro said in an exclusive interview with ABC News' Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas on Tuesday. "But he was very clear, 'F the White House.'"...

Pirro said she intends to charge the suspect, whom she identified as Michael Marx, with assault against a federal officer.

The 45-year-old suspect has a Texas driver's license and no obvious connection to Washington, and authorities are working to learn why he was in the city, according to multiple law enforcement sources.

Ironic family name.

WTF is this moron talking about

All I can find are articles claiming the similarities to Obama's deal are in a one page memo of understanding, but no one is actually providing details of those parts.  They will provide details that the memo calls for a complete stop of all uranium enrichment for 12-15 years, which would be extended if any violations occur, and that any highly enriched uranium is to be removed from the country.   MSN link

Frankly, with those two provisions, it doesn't really matter what else is in the agreement, Iran isn't going to agree to it, based on past performance.

As usual, some DUmmies are lying, and some are ignorantly parroting lies:

CDC continuing cruise ship inspections despite staffing cuts

April 16 (UPI) -- The federal government's Vessel Sanitation Program continues its health inspections of cruise ships despite recent staff reductions at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"This work has not stopped as the VSP is primarily staffed by [U.S. Public Health Service officers]," a CDC spokesperson told Food Safety News.

Those commissioned officers were not among those who were released from the CDC amid the Trump administration's reduction of the federal workforce.

The inspections are being carried out by half the number of inspectors, though, Food Safety News reported on Wednesday.

And even if this happened what the hell does this have to do with a cruise ship with a Netherlands registry in Europe?  :thatsright:

1. Is there context to this? I haven't heard of Trump or Musk talking about "family values" (plus or minus an reference to an Addams Family movie).

2. Own and clean up your own Swillwell scandal, throupling, and your decades-long legacy/tradition of mistressing for Willie the Magnificent, waitress-sandwiching, and worship of Teddy the Snorkel and his horndog brothers (just off the top of my not-yet-caffeinated mind).

As the rest of many folks' favorite Bible verse says:

Quote
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

A Facebook post by an ex-KGB agent claiming that Donald Trump was recruited by Moscow in 1987 under the code name "Krasnov" has sent social media into a spin.

Russia, Russia all over again! Those folks sure are gullible :thatsright: :mental: :loser:!

Krasnov Is Reinstating The Obama/Iran Nuclear Agreement - With His Name On it

Krasnov is buying his way out of the war, lifting all sanctions against Iran, unfreezing Iranian money, (something that he soundly criticized President Obama for doing.

Iran promises it won't pursue a nuclear weapon, something it had already previously promised. Iran is only allowed to enrich uranium (wait for it} at the same % that had been agree to in the Obama agreement.

There are many more details that need to be worked out but Krasnov wants out of this war.

Krasnov can do yuuge press conference and proclaim that he went to war with Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open.
Krasnov can proclaim that he put restrictions on the enrichment of uranium, the same % that was in the Obama agreement that he tore up.

Krasnov has the MSM behind him, they can put lipstick on his pig of a war. Glory to God, once again Krasnov has created a problem and then solved it by surrendering and going back to the way things were before the war.

What is this now, war #9 that Krasnov has ended?
