Well here we are again. Unbelievable. Yesterday there was a second Assassination Attempt on the life of former President Donald Trump… 58 year old Ryan Wesley Routh (a pro-Ukraine activist) managed to shove an AK-47 through the fence of Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida which was spotted by a Secret Service Agent. Luckily no one was hurt. Routh makes his first court appearance today…
This is the SECOND attempt on Trump’s life in two months… and now there are EVEN MORE questions about the levels of Security given to the former President…
ONE BIG QUESTION: Trump’s golf game WAS NOT on any public schedule. How did the would-be-assassin know he would be playing golf that day, at that time on that course??

A new ABC poll shows that voters aren’t any more likely to back Kamala Harris - even if they think she won last week’s debate.
- But it turns out viewers are a lot more likely to think that ABC WANTED Kamala Harris to WIN last week’s ABC debate.

Prince Harry turned the Big 4-0 yesterday… and said the “Best gifts” he’s ever gotten are his two kids, 5 year old Archie and Lilibet who is 3.
Translation: Meghan wrecked his 40th Birthday baking a Vegan Cake and buying him a Solar Powered Polo Pony.
FYI… If you are a Meghan fan, you can catch her on the TV show “Suits” on Netflix. She plays a legal assistant and I gotta say… she’s really good!

Despite ongoing tensions in the family, King Charles and Prince William posted a pic of Prince Harry on his birthday - but were quickly criticized for “cropping Meghans head” out of the pic. The Palace has denied the accusation.
I believe the palace on this one… but what is it with them and women’s heads? You know… the whole “Anne Boleyn” thing??

Ryan Seacrest officially took over hosting duties of “Wheel of Fortune” last Monday night, acknowledged that he has 'very big shoes to fill' - but he failed to mention the show’s longtime host Pat Sajak by name. Fans on Social Media were not happy.
- In fact you might say they were "M _ d As He_ _”.
(Btw… Jay Leno failed to mention Johnny Carson’s name on his first night taking over the Tonight show, too. I know this because was in the audience for Leno’s first show!)

And one more thing… (As Colombo used to say!)…
It’s National Wrinkled Raincoat Day!

RIP… Tito Jackson, the brother of Michael Jackson and a founding member of the Jackson 5, has died. He was 70.

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Tuesday!
