▪️This is a hilarious attempt to craft a narrative. Commander wasn’t “untrainable,” German shepherds are highly trainable dogs. The reason Commander left the White House is he bit Secret Service personnel in at least 24 incidents! Which doesn’t include the bites to other staffers, of which there were many.
▪️These 24 biting incidents took place in just an 8 month span, from Oct ‘22 to July ‘23. A FOIA document reported members of the Secret Service being bitten on the wrist, forearm, elbow, waist, chest, thigh & shoulder. The report doesn’t include other bites to White House staff.

▪️The problem was so pervasive and known that an email was sent to SS agents saying, “The recent dog bites have challenged us to adjust our operational tactics when Commander is present – please give lots of room.” And, that agents “must be creative to ensure our own personal safety.”
▪️ The bites took place inside and outside of the White House residence, but also at Biden family homes in Wilmington & Rehoboth Beach, at Camp David and in Nantucket.

▪️One incident happened at Biden’s beach home, where an agent walked to a backyard security post and heard Commander start to bark, but did not realize Commander was “loose and off leash.”
🔹 “In the background SA [redacted] heard the voice of what believes to be FLOTUS Dr. Jill Biden [redacted] yelling [redacted quote]. Commander ran toward the direction of post [redacted] booth and bit SA [redacted] in the left forearm. Causing a severe deep open wound. As result of the attack SA [redacted] started to loose (sic) a significant amount of blood from [redacted] arm”
▪️In another, an agent was bitten on the forearm while holding the door open in the area between the West Wing & the residence:
🔹”Commander and POTUS were entering the Palm Room through the West Colonnade. Commander came in first circled back and grabbed my arm left arm. He then stood up and back down. He is literally my height standing. POTUS entered shortly after since he was trailing behind him. POTUS entered the Palm Room and said [redacted],” the agent said in a description of the event, saying that they were “in shock that this incident occurred.”
▪️ Another involved a “deep bite" on the forearm of an agent, who needed stitches. Blood on the floor in an area of the White House caused tours of the East Wing of the building to be suspended for 20 minutes. There are many other harrowing stories of similar nature.
▪️This, understandably, caused significant tension between the Bidens and Secret Service. Plus, the press was already on the story (remember his prior dog Major ALSO bit SS agents). Unless they wanted a major scandal, the only solution was to remove the dog.
▪️To pretend like this is “decent human” behavior is absurd. Most owners would be mortified if their dog bit someone, let alone their security. Now imagine your dog biting DOZENS of your staff and still expecting them to work in the vicinity of your huge dog. It’s narcissism on a level most can’t attain, and reveals a certain kind of dog owner.
As with the leftist freak out over “banned books” this is not banning books, it’s still easy to get Harry Potter and bookstores should be able to limit whatever books they want for whatever reason. But not only does it show a double standard, the rationale is far less justifiable than removing certain content from school libraries. At least there the justification was the content of certain books are inappropriate for children, clearly not every book should be available in a school library. Here, there’s no argument about the content they just don’t like the author’s politics!
Because news came out about his letter to the FBI, revealing he was a nutcase. The letter was rambling and incoherent, claiming he was trained by the US military off the books, and that Walz had instructed him to kill Amy Klobuchar so he could run for Senate. None of it made any sense (Walz is not running for Senate) and none of the assassinations made any sense, even in a diabolical way.
Nearly all of his hit list was Democrats (including Walz) and abortion clinics, but he was supposedly working for Walz?! Plus, one of the guys he killed wasn’t even on his list, and others were no longer in office or deceased. None of it makes sense from any coherent angle.
Basically, it appears the guy was mentally ill and neither the left or right can use the incident to push their agendas anymore, so the story was dropped.
This is so dumb. First, this means LA began as Spanish land founded to support Spanish missions (i.e. colonialism). Which contradicts their entire premise. But the reality is that Los Angeles is a quintessential American city.
▪️When the US acquired California in the 1840s, LA was a small town of less than 2,000 people. It was basically nothing. It became large only after the gold rush and the railroads completed in the 1870-80s, which brought thousands of new settlers and a booming commercial center.
▪️But LA had a major issue limiting its growth, no water. It wasn’t until Mulholland found a water source and built an aqueduct down from Northern California that LA had the infrastructure to grow into a major city.
▪️Then, a combination of oil, real estate and the film industry caused it to boom in the early 1900s. Post WWII, industries like aerospace continued its spectacular growth. Calling this “Mexican land” is a brain dead take. Neither the Mexicans, Spanish nor ...
