Yesterday I wrote about the drama at the ‘Correspondents Dinner’……a Donny drama…..in case you need a refresher…..
There is now more that can be said…..
As usual Donny had to dash in front of the cameras and make it into a drama that he could exploit….
The man suspected in a shooting outside Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner—described by President Trump as a “sick person”—was identified as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, two law enforcement officials told the AP. “When you’re impactful, they go after you. When you’re not impactful, they leave you alone,” Trump, safe and uninjured and still in his tuxedo, said at the White House two hours later. “They seem to think he was a lone wolf.” There was no immediate indication of any other involvement, and Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said she had “no reason” to believe anyone else was involved. Video posted by Trump showed the suspect running past security barricades as Secret Service agents ran toward him.
“There does not appear to be any sort of danger to the public at this time,” Bowser said at a separate news conference. All officials protected by the Secret Service were evacuated. Those in attendance included Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio—and many other leaders of the Trump administration on a night when the nation is at war with Iran. “Today we need levels of security that probably nobody has ever seen before,” the president said. But he also said, “We’re not going to let anybody take over our society.” After an initial attempt to resume, the event was scrapped for the night and will be rescheduled. A law enforcement officer was shot in the bullet-resistant vest but is expected to be OK, several sources say. The suspect was allegedly armed with guns and knives when he stormed the lobby outside the ballroom where the event was taking place, as Trump was seated onstage
The president commended the Secret Service and suggested that the shooter wasn’t close to breaching the ballroom, the AP reports. Trump, describing what was going through his mind as the shots rang out, said he initially believed it was a tray being dropped, noting that the noise was “quite far away.” But the first lady, he said, was “very cognizant” that it was a shooting. “I think she knew immediately what happened,” the president said, recalling that his wife told him, “That’s a bad noise.” He said he wanted the dinner to continue, but law enforcement preferred it to be rescheduled. He also struck a somber tone, telling reporters that being president is “a dangerous profession” and that attempted violence against him is “part of the job.”
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said charges related to Saturday night’s attack will be filed shortly, and that the nature of the charges would be obvious considering what had happened at the dinner. Blanche stressed that “the investigation is obviously ongoing and just started.” FBI Director Kash Patel, flanking Trump, said the agency is examining a long gun and shell casings recovered from the scene, as well as interviewing witnesses from the dinner. He urged anyone with information to come forward.
What about the alleged shooter?
Social media posts that appear to match the California man arrested Saturday in the shooting at the White House correspondents’ dinner show he is a highly educated tutor and amateur video game developer. A May 2025 profile photo of Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, appears to match the appearance of the man in a photo of the alleged attacker being taken into custody that was posted Saturday night by President Trump. The photo, posted to the social networking site LinkedIn, shows him in a cap and gown after graduating with a master’s degree in computer science from California State University-Dominguez Hills.
Allen, 31, earned a bachelor’s degree in 2017 in mechanical engineering from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. He listed his involvement there in a Christian student fellowship and a campus group that battled with Nerf guns. Bin Tang, a computer science professor at California State University-Dominguez Hills, told the AP that Allen took a few of his classes before graduating. “He was a very good student indeed, always sitting in the first row of my class, paying attention, and frequently emailing me with coursework questions. Soft spoken, very polite, a good fellow. I am very shocked to see the news,” Tang said.
A local ABC station in Los Angeles included an interview with Allen during his senior year of college as part of a story about new technologies to help people as they age. He had developed a prototype for a new type of emergency brake for wheelchairs. Allen contributed $25 to a Democratic Party political action committee in support of Kamala Harris for president in 2024, according to federal campaign finance records.
Allen’s online resume says he has worked for the last six years at C2 Education, a company that offers admissions counseling and test preparation services to aspiring college students. A 2024 post on the company’s Facebook page listed Allen as the company’s teacher of the month. The company did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Saturday night. Allen also posted that he had developed a video game for the Steam platform based on molecular chemistry. A post under Allen’s name said he was working to develop a new “top-down shooter” combat game set in outer space.
That explains everything….he donated $25 to Harris campaign….
How long will Donny harp on this event….how long can he extend the drama and his victim-hood?
He started immediately using it to further his warped agenda.
All these supposed chances and no one is good enough to make good on the attempts…..bollocks!
Someone on social media wrote….stop interrupting my night unless he is dead…..a cold hard truth these days.
Since I refuse social media I will let my dear friend Pete let you know the skinny…
