Another assassination attempt?
-
Guy with 2 guns, fake VIP Passes and fake Press Passes just arrested at Trump Rally.
-
Guy is a registered Republican and is reportedly Far-Right.
-
Yes, but....
The suspect — identified as 49-year-old Las Vegas resident Vem Miller — was caught at a checkpoint about a quarter-mile from the rally with fake VIP passes to the rally and fake press passes — as well as unregistered weapons, including a loaded shotgun, a handgun and a high-capacity magazine, according to the Riverside County sheriff’s office.
Miller did not have a valid ID when he was stopped at the rally checkpoint, and was detained after police searched his vehicle and found the weapons, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Doesn't sound like he was exactly a fan either.
-
However, law enforcement sources told The Post that the FBI does not believe this was an assassination attempt, and the former president’s life was never in danger.
He was released after posting $5,000 bail, police records show.
If he was released on bail, then the authorities are 100% convinced it wasn't an assassination attempt.

The U.S. Secret Service and the FBI are downplaying the threat to former President Donald Trump posed by a man arrested outside a California rally Saturday night – despite assertions made by a local sheriff that his detention likely thwarted a third assassination attempt.
Deputies working for the Riverside County sheriff’s office arrested a man, identified as Vem Miller, and subsequently discovered a shotgun, loaded handgun, and high-capacity magazine in his car about a quarter mile from the entrance to Trump’s campaign rally in Coachella Valley. Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco, who endorsed Trump publicly in June, said Miller’s car, identified as a black SUV, had a fake license plate that was unregistered and possessed several phony passports and driver’s licenses with different identities, as well as what Bianco described as a fake press pass.
Authorities released Miller after his arrest. On Sunday, Miller told local news outlets that he had no intention of harming Trump, that he was a Trump caucus captain who received a special invitation to the Coachella Valley rally from the head of Nevada’s Clark County Republican Party. Sporting a Trump shirt and hat, the 49-year-old Las Vegas resident said he readily disclosed at a checkpoint that he was lawfully carrying firearms in his trunk.
Miller told the Southern California News Group that he bought the firearms in 2022 for self-protection after he received death threats and that he isn’t aware of the differences between Nevada and California gun laws. Miller reportedly is a registered Republican with a master’s degree from UCLA who ran for state assembly in Nevada in 2022 and lost in the primary. During his run for the state office, Miller told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he was in the race because “this country has been taken over by tyranny.” He said he supported solar energy and more electric car manufacturing but also was concerned about election security and wanted to fortify voter ID laws and reinstate paper ballots. He also runs The America Happens Network, which features several podcasts, including “Conspiracy Truths with Mindy Robinson.” Miller hosts a podcast called “Blood Money,” which focuses on “issues of corruption, controversy and conspiracies – topics that the mainstream media will not address,” according to the podcast’s website.
“These accusations are complete bull---t,” Miller said. “I’m an artist. I’m the last person that would cause any violence and harm to anybody.”
Bianco told reporters at a news briefing late Sunday afternoon that he believes Miller is a member of a right-leaning anti-government group known to law enforcement agencies as “Sovereign Citizens” and planned to kill Trump at the rally. Members of this group, Bianco asserted, believe that “government rules and laws and everything else that goes along with it, doesn’t apply to them.”
Miller was arrested after trying to pass through an inner perimeter of the Riverside sheriff’s checkpoint after making it through a less stringent outer perimeter checkpoint. Bianco said Miller identified himself as a journalist who was supposed to be there. Bianco said deputies spotted suspicious signs, noting that the car's interior was in “disarray,” and the SUV had a fake license plate.
Uhm, why are they passing over the fake license plate, fake passports, fake press and VIP Passes, etc…?

You know who else was an artist....?The only artist I can remember is Rembrandt, but I'm not sure if you're thinking about Rembrandt. Also the guy who made my office desk out of reclaimed redwood, maybe some people would call him a craftsman, but personally, I think of him as an artist. I really like how the grains of the planks go together, and the finish is subtle but appealing.
Are you thinking of Rembrandt, or are you thinking of the fellow who made my reclaimed redwood office desk?
