Staff Reports
This week’s top stories include a major internet interruption caused by Crowdstrike, an attempted assassination on former President Donald J. Trump, and an alleged Democratic coup against President Biden. Crowdstrike, known for falsely claiming Russians hacked DNC files, faced backlash as their failure disrupted services for many. Businesses may reconsider using Crowdstrike following this incident.
The attempted assassination on Trump highlights a concerning trend of incompetence and lack of preparedness in society. A video reenactment by Ugandan children quickly spread online, showcasing the fast-paced nature of modern news sharing. The Secret Service’s handling of the situation, including potential understaffing due to a Jill Biden event, raises questions and warrants further investigation.

Speculation around multiple shooters and the background of the alleged assassin adds complexity to the incident. The FBI’s swift declaration of a lone gunman has been met with skepticism, with some suggesting a second shooter. The lack of thorough evidence collection and witness interviews raises doubts about the investigation’s integrity.
In a separate development, Democratic efforts to push Biden out of the race have sparked controversy. Some see this as a Stalinist maneuver to replace Biden with a more favorable candidate. The decision to remove Biden from the nomination race is seen as driven by fears of his potential defeat. This internal strife within the Democratic Party has raised concerns about the handling of democracy and political norms.
As these events unfold, it is crucial to maintain a critical eye on the information presented and consider the implications of political maneuvering on the nation’s future.
