As Twitchy reported earlier this week, Google confirmed that it was conveniently hiding search results for the Donald Trump assassination attempt. That's why when you'd type in, "assassination attempt on Trum…" Google's autocomplete function suggested an "assassination attempt on Truman." "Google’s autocomplete feature experienced similar issues when users searched for 'President Donald' and related search terms," Google'd attorney told Congress, citing "bugs" in the algorithm that hadn't been ironed out yet.
The attempted (and near-successful) assassination of a former president would seem like bigger news, but it disappeared from the headlines rather quickly.
This happened 4 weeks ago and they already managed to memory-hole it.

Don't let them. Keep sharing.

It’s been 4 weeks since a 20 year old almost assassinated President Trump.

We still know nothing about what really happened.
The only time I’ve seen a story drop out of the news faster than this was the 2017 Las Vegas Mandalay Bay shooting https://t.co/dVxLWdHo67

About which we still know nothing.
Trump almost getting shot was a pretty big deal to me and a lot of other Americans. Those Biden supporters who were at first sad that the bullet didn't kill Trump then became sad that the photo of Trump holding up his first went viral. Axios reportedly talked to a photo editor at a major outlet who said publishing the photo was "kind of free PR for Trump in a way, and it's dangerous for media organizations to keep sharing that photo despite how good it is."
The most recent thing I've heard is from my own site, which earlier this week published bodycam footage from Butler police officer who saw Thomas Matthew Crooks standing on that dangerously sloped roof.
I decided to check the mainstream media to see if there was any news. I learned from ABC News that he scored higher than 1500 on the SAT and "would routinely sway back and forth while standing at the bus stop." Yes, but what about a motive?
The FBI met privately with Trump to go over the investigation.
The FBI agents told Trump that they were able to access three foreign email accounts used by Crooks because his passwords were stored on his computer, but they have found no indications that anyone else was involved in the attack, according to the sources.
The information gleaned from the foreign email accounts largely related to weapons and ammunition purchases, offering little insight into what drove Crooks to launch his attack, Trump was told, according to sources.
So from what I've been able to confirm, Crooks had an improvised explosive device in his car trunk and a remote detonator on the roof with him. This was obviously someone with a plan, or someone following a plan. I don't buy the line that he took a shot at Trump because he happened to be the first candidate to visit the area.
That’s why the accelerated the Kamala storyline; they had to flood the news cycle to avoid normies from thinking about the criminally negligent secret service detail and planning. It raise a lot of dark dark questions.

But Harris and Tim Walz are campaigning on a message of joy!
The Harris campaign with help from their PR department (the media), are successfully erasing this memory from people's minds.

Actual brainwashing.
Kinda wild how an assassination attempt can be memory holed so quick

Then Trump showed up at the Republican National Convention with a "ludicrously oversized ear bandage," according to Mark Hamill. Dems theorized he was wearing the bandage to cover up evidence that he hadn't been shot.
As I reported last month, a third of Democrats polled said they thought it was "credible" that the shooting was staged.
My candidate was less than an inch from being shot in the head and I'd be curious to hear more information, if we can pull ourselves away from Harris' coronation.
