Maybe I'm getting paranoid in my old age. I never take anything from the media at face value anymore. And I never, ever take any national incident as a lone, isolated thing.

Which brings us to the matter of the assassination plot against Brett Kavanaugh.

Does anybody else find this thing a bit suspicious?

Look, this guy was supposedly angry about the upcoming Roe v. Wade decision and about the school shooting. (Who addresses their anger at a shooting by attempting to shoot a judge?) But his motives don't matter so much as his actions. And his actions were just - weird. He took a CAB to Kavanaughs house, for example. Who does that? Here he was planning to kidnap and murder a sitting Supreme Court Justice and he takes a taxi! Granted, he may not be smart, but come on!

And as I say he wasn't just planning on murdering Kavanaugh; he had zip ties and other things suggesting he was going to kidnap him first. How did he plan to explain a tied and gagged Justice being forced into a cab to the driver? Was he prepared to be extra for the extra person?

This guy also called and turned himself in. Who would do that when as of that moment nothing had happened? He could have easily walked away. If he was afraid of his own impulses he could have checked himself into a mental ward. But who calls the cops and says he's outside of the door of a Justice of the Supreme Court with a gun? Remember, he crossed a continent to get there and did not shrink from his plan until actually at kavanaugh's doorstep.

It rings hollow to me.

The young man - a Californian named Nicholas John Roske - doesn't seem to have a lot of information available.

I would add that I can think of a lot of good uses such an incident could be put towards for the Democrats. They are making a big push for gun control now, and this could well swing a few fence sitting Republicans. We do not know if this punk legally purchased the Glock he brought with him or not. But it will be argued he was mentally ill and there should have been a background check, yada, yada, yada.

Mitch McConnell is calling for new legislation to protect Supreme Court Justices (something wholly unnecessary; there is already a law on the books - but it wasn't enforced by the Biden Junta who actually invited people to go to the Justices homes and raise hell.) How much will such a law be used in future to shut down the protests of conservative groups? You know the Democrats will hijack any proposed bill in this direction. It will be a handy tool in their arsenal against "domestic terrorism" aka opposition to the bolshevik revolution.

I did some online searching for information on Roske and found very little, despite a full day for media and even conservative media to hunt things down. That makes me suspicious. National Security agents are often like that. They don't call 'em spooks for nothing.

Maybe I'm just missing the information.

This also diverts attention away from Biden's other failures, and from the Sussman verdict, and from the upcoming Jan. 6 self-guided capitol tour hearings, which the Democrats hope to make a big splash with but which may well embarass them. It could be the FBI/CIA axis is trying to protect them with a few distractions.

I don't know. But this thing has a bad smell to me.

Conservative talk hosts were understandably jacked up about this and point out how the Democrats stoked this with their rhetoric (which is the exact same argument the Dems are going to employ in the Jan. 6 hearings about Trump) and that may be so, but the Democrats will be able to point out this guy "cooled off" and didn't do it - while the supposed Republicans did in fact invade the Capitol (after being invited in by the cops there, but that's not going to be mentioned.)

Again, by this time there are usually a host of websites with intimate information on the perp. I could find little on this guy other than he was young and from Simi California and was mad about guns and abortion.

Something doesn't smell right about any of this.
