Many are asking who will be held accountable for yet another failure to protect President Trump, and FL Rep. Mike Caruso is one of them.
Second Assassination Attempt on Trump Right In West Palm Beach
The second assassination attempt on Trump happened September 15th around 2:00 PM at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. Trump was being specifically targeted as the gunman had an AK 47. A US Official said, “Not a random guy with an AK 47,” according to Fox News. A suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, is currently in custody and has been charged with possessing a firearm as a convicted felon and a gun with an obliterated serial number, according to the Justice Department. Former President Trump is safe and unharmed. State Representative Mike Caruso-R, West Palm Beach, had this to say about the assignation attempt;
In my opinion, yesterday’s assassination attempt reflects continuing deficiencies in the Secret Service’s ability to assess risks to the former President. Although the one serviceman was heroic in his efforts to protect President Trump, I find it absurd that Congress Ave and Summit Blvd, the roads directly alongside hole numbers 5 and 6, did not have a patrol car and officer posted on the road. I drove by Mar A Lago both at 8:30 am and 1:15 yesterday, and I noted 15 patrol cars and officers, barricades, and flashing lights along Southern Blvd and Ocean Blvd. Additionally, two patrol boats were on the Intracoastal, and who knows how many officers were within the Mar A Lago compound. President Trump wasn’t even there. He was golfing, and no one (police, Sheriff, or Secret Service) thought to send a few officers to protect the outer perimeter. Of course, every resource, every law enforcement officer within 50 miles, shows up after shots are fired. Again. Who is in charge of risk assessment.? Who is accountable?

Palm Beach County Taxes Are Going Up As Much As 9 Percent
The PBC Republican majority county commissioners aren’t acting like business-minded professionals. They just voted to keep your tax rates the same, but don’t be fooled by this slick move. Property values have gone up 9 percent, which means a 3 percent increase for you if you have a homestead exemption and a 9 percent increase if you don’t have a homestead or own commercial property. Any way you look at it, six commissioners voted to raise your taxes…again. The only one who voted against this kick in the backside is Republican Commissioner Sara Baxter.
Kamala May Have Gotten the Questions in Advance
Bill Ackman runs a major Manhattan research-driven investment firm. He is no joke. @BillAckman posted a message to Rober Iger that stated that there is an affidavit that has been made public in which a whistleblower states that ABC worked with the Kamala Harris campaign and shared the substance of the debate questions, and they committed to not fact-checking Harris. If these allegations are true, this could be what wins the election for Trump.
Don’t mess with a Hangry Person
A hangry person is someone so hungry that they’re angry. This expression was taken to a whole new level when a hangry customer at a Waffle House in North Carolina allegedly murdered a teenage worker who took too long with his food, according to the NY Post.
More Action for Delray Beach
According to the Palm Beach Post, the next phase of Atlantic Crossing in Delray Beach is underway. It will cost 119 million dollars to build more apartments, offices, and retail. The project’s first phase is proving successful, with restaurants like Hampton Social and retail stores like Lilly Pulitzer. The project has too big of a footprint for the city, but it was approved years ago and is forging ahead with phase two.
Because it’s been a Hot Second, You Need a New Phone.
The new iPhone 16 will be available for purchase on September 20th. The new phone is all about upgraded AI features. For example, you can take a picture of the exterior of a restaurant, which will bring up restaurant reviews and menus. It will even be able to distinguish between dog breeds. The camera itself is four times the resolution of the iPhone 14 camera.

Cheneys Act Like Dicks
Both Dick, who once said that Trump “sounds like a liberal Democrat to me,” and Liz Cheney have endorsed Kamala Harris for president, according to the NY Post.
Kamala Gets An Earful
The latest conspiracy theory is that Kamala’s earrings during the debate were earpieces. They weren’t. They were just some luxe earrings from Tiffany. The debate may have been more favorable to Kamala, but this particular thing was a crime of fashion and nothing else.
Trump Says No More Debates with Kamala
Sources too numerous to name say these things about the debate: Trump was debating Kamala and moderators during this debate, and he was fact-checked four times, while Kamala was fact-checked no times. They’re also saying Kamala was better prepared and won the debate. But most importantly, they’re saying that the debate didn’t move the needle for either candidate. Trump says that he sees no reason to debate Kamala again. If the whistleblower allegations Bill Ackman posted on X are true, this is beyond the right call.
Royal Palm Beach Mayor Has Passed Away
Royal Palm Beach Mayor Fred Pinto, who just won re-election in March 2024, has passed away. Vice Mayor Jeff Hmara will be taking over his duties for the interim.
Trump Says No Tax On Overtime
Trump’s latest talking point, which may prove even more popular than his “no tax on tips,” is “no tax on overtime.” Prediction: Kamala Harris will announce her new “no tax on overtime” idea next week.
Sen Rick Scott Won’t Tolerate Antisemitism
In a forum sponsored by Keiser University, Senator Scott took a bold stance and announced that he wanted to pass a bill stating that if a university allows an antisemitic protest, they won’t get any federal dollars.
Save a Chicken, Eat a Cat
According to the New York Post, somewhere in Russia, a 38-pound cat named Crumbs tried to escape from a fat camp and got stuck in a shoe rack, like that’s normal. Do they have any idea how many people this one cat could feed? This cat needs to be renamed Meals.
Only in Russia, but not Florida, friends.
