THIS WEEK JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT MORE INTERESTING As former President Trump was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania and though thankfully he was merely grazed by a bullet, at least one innocent person and the shooter were killed and two more seriously injured. We will have more on that today with all the latest developments.
AROD AND I ARE FLYING THIS MORNING SO THE BLOG IS THIN But I promise you that this week we will bring you with us to the RNC. I am not sure how long the daily blogs will be but I will try to post updates from each day and what to watch for coming up. We will also have a ton of social media videos so if you don't follow up on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram you can click each of those links and give us a follow to access those. Be sure and check out the Rocky Mountain Voice, which is sponsoring our coverage, daily as well by clicking here.
HERE IS A FULL LIST OF WHO IS SPEAKING AT THE RNC But I have no clue in what order. Expect the people you've never heard of to speak Monday and Tuesday. See the list here. I was super surprised to see the President of the Teamsters on the speakers list. I wonder what he's gonna say. This source says the Teamsters are dealing with a decided right ward push by members. Don't get too excited, he may just be paying lip service to the men and women he represents before running back into the arms of the Biden team.
SECURITY IS EXTRA TIGHT AT THE RNC Which I fully expected after this past weekend. Read more here, but thanks to all of you who have reached out to tell me to be safe. My head is on a swivel, people.
THE SECRET SERVICE HAS A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO There is so much flying around right now about what the Secret Service requested versus what was approved by the leadership that I find it hard to believe Director Kimberly Cheatle remains director much longer. So many failures. So many.
TRUMP DOCUMENTS CASE IS DISMISSED The Federal judge said the appointment of the Special Prosecutor was illegal because Congress is supposed to weigh in on such matters as a matter of separation of powers. Read about it here.

UNRELATED NEWS TO THE RNC:
RICHARD SIMMONS, DR. RUTH, AND SHANNON DOHERTY ALL DIED And each of them gave me great joy at different points in my life. Richard Simmons, who became a recluse after being the brunt of jokes for so many years, had recently gotten active on Twitter and I think he was able to see just how many people absolutely loved him. Dr. Ruth was the best, an old lady talking about sex stuff always works, and Shannon Doherty was part of two shows I loved back in the day. RIP to the lot of them. And I just remembered Shelly Duvall too!
