Report: Biden-Harris Admin Is Stonewalling Congress’s Investigation Into First Trump Assassination Attempt

/5 Comments/in , /by

By The Federalist. The Biden-Harris administration is refusing to forfeit information relevant to the first assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, a newly released bipartisan Senate report alleges.

Published on Wednesday by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, the interim analysis documents the massive security breakdown by the Secret Service (USSS) during the July 13 attempt on Trump’s life in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The investigation was spearheaded by Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., Gary Peters, D-Mich., Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.

Among the notable takeaways from the report are allegations that relevant agencies within the Biden-Harris administration are refusing to provide records necessary to the committee’s investigation.

The analysis noted that “key requests to [the Federal Bureau of Investigation] FBI, [Department of Homeland Security] DHS, [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] ATF and USSS remain outstanding.” It specifically highlighted how the “majority of documents provided by the USSS and DHS are heavily redacted.”

“This has unnecessarily hindered the Committee’s ability to carry out its constitutional authority to investigate and acquire information necessary to identify needed reforms,” the report reads. “These overly burdensome redactions, including of communications related to the same individuals who the Committee interviewed, only served to delay the Committee’s ability to conduct these interviews and carry out its investigation efficiently and effectively.” (Read more from “Report: Biden-Harris Admin Is Stonewalling Congress’s Investigation Into First Trump Assassination Attempt” HERE)

Trump to Rally at Site of 1st Assassination Attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania

By CBS News. Former President Donald Trump will return to the site of the first assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania, in the first week of October, according to two sources familiar with the Trump campaign’s planning.

Leslie Osche, chair of the Butler County Commissioners, confirmed to CBS Pittsburgh that the second Trump rally will be on Oct. 5.

The rally will take place at the Butler Farm Show fairgrounds, where gunman Thomas Crooks shot at him and grazed his ear on July 13. The set-up for the upcoming event is likely to be similar to the July rally.

Trump has repeatedly said he’d return to Butler, writing on his social media platform Truth Social in late July that he was going back to Butler for a “BIG AND BEAUTIFUL RALLY.”

Crooks opened fire on Trump from a rooftop roughly 400 feet away from the former president during an outdoor campaign rally in Butler. A CBS News video analysis determined that the gunman fired eight shots in under six seconds before he was fatally struck by a round from one of the Secret Service counter snipers — a fact later confirmed by the FBI. Pennsylvania firefighter Corey Comperatore was shot and killed at the July rally, and two other attendees were seriously injured.

‘His People Have Reached Out’: Charlamagne Says His Popular Hip-Hop Show Would ‘Absolutely’ Interview Trump

/3 Comments/in , /by

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God told a caller Thursday that “The Breakfast Club” would welcome former President Donald Trump for an interview.

While Trump has never appeared on the popular hip-hop show, Vice President Kamala Harris has previously participated in multiple interviews on the platform, although she has not visited “The Breakfast Club” during her current press-averse campaign. During a segment dubbed “Get It Off Your Chest,” a caller pressed the hosts about having Harris and Trump on the show, prompting Charlamagne and co-host DJ Envy to disclose that Trump’s “people have reached out.”

“We don’t have no problem having Trump here either. Trump, his people have reached out,” Charlamagne said, which Envy corroborated.

“Oh, they did? All right, bet. All right, well look, like I said, it’s 2024. Like I said, let’s go ahead and give them both an opportunity to come up there,” the caller responded, with Charlamagne agreeing, saying, “Absolutely. 100%.”

Charlamagne is a Harris supporter and has harshly criticized Trump, accusing the former president of having “created an environment of political violence that not even he is safe from” shortly after the first assassination attempt in July.

Former Dem Rep Tulsi Gabbard Slams Harris on Foreign Policy, Declares Her ‘Unfit’ to Be Commander in Chief

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard blasted the Biden administration’s foreign policy Thursday on Fox News and declared Vice President Harris “wholly unfit to be Commander in Chief.”

During an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle,” Gabbard said that the escalation of conflict between Ukraine and Russia is the “most dangerous moments of our lives,” then turning the conversation to the supposed failures of the Biden Administration on foreign policy. She claimed during the segment Harris is “unfit” to serve as commander and chief, saying she does not fully understand the consequences of a “nuclear Armageddon.”

“It’s the most dangerous moment of our lives, Laura. We cannot understate the seriousness of the position that we are in directly because of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s foreign policy and their action, their decisions,” she told Laura Ingraham. “Kamala Harris is wholly unfit to be our commander in chief.”

“She clearly doesn’t know that we have service members in combat zones at war today putting their lives on the line. She clearly does not understand or care about the serious consequences of what nuclear Armageddon would mean for all of us, all of the American people and humanity in the world,” she added. . .

“She is continuing to lie to the American people saying, oh, first, you know, Russia, first it’s Ukraine and then it’s the Baltic countries and then it’s Poland and then it’s all of these other countries and they want to take over the entire former Soviet Union all over,” Gabbar continued. “There’s no proof of this. There’s no evidence of this.” (Read more from “Former Dem Rep Tulsi Gabbard Slams Harris on Foreign Policy, Declares Her ‘Unfit’ to Be Commander in Chief” HERE)

Blow to China’s Military Plans After New Nuclear Submarine ‘Sinks’

/2 Comments/in , /by

China’s newest nuclear attack submarine has sunk in a shipyard accident, in a setback to the country’s attempts to overtake the United States in a naval arms race, according to US officials.

The sinking of the first of a new Zhou-class of nuclear-powered submarines triggered a scramble for Beijing to cover up the incident, officials told The Wall Street Journal.

The newly built vessel, which features a distinctive X-shaped stern, was sighted on satellite images alongside a pier at Wuchang Shipyard as it was being equipped for sea in late May.

It is claimed to have sunk later that month or in early June. Suspicion was said to have been raised when floating cranes were seen at the site soon afterwards.

Brent Sadler, a former submarine officer at Washington’s Heritage Foundation think tank, said: “The sinking of a new nuclear sub that was produced at a new yard will slow China’s plans to grow its nuclear submarine fleet. This is significant.” (Read more from “Blow to China’s Military Plans After New Nuclear Submarine ‘Sinks’ HERE)

Iranians Indicted for Allegedly Hacking Trump Campaign: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Multiple Iranian nationals have reportedly been indicted on criminal charges related to the regime’s hacking of former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign.

A federal grand jury signed off on the indictment Thursday and the Justice Department could announce the charges as early as Friday, according to Politico.

The charges pertain to an Iranian cyber operation against the Trump campaign this summer, in which material stolen from the Republican nominee’s team was offered to media outlets and President Biden’s now-defunct campaign in an apparent attempt to influence the outcome of the 2024 election.

The Trump campaign confirmed the hacking last month – blaming Tehran – after Politico reported that it had received a dossier on GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance from an AOL email account belonging to an entity going by “Robert.” . . .

Officials from the FBI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency later confirmed that Iran was behind a hack and attempted to breach Biden campaign email accounts as well.

Inside the Turkish Tower in NYC at the Center of Historic Eric Adams Indictment

/0 Comments/in , /by

What did Turkey and its powerful, globetrotting president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan get in return for the thousands of dollars in luxury, first-class travel, other lavish perks allegedly funneled to embattled Mayor Eric Adams?

According to the historic, five-count indictment unsealed by Manhattan prosecutors Thursday, Erdoğan scored a glossy, 36-story glass and steel tower across from the United Nations called the Turkish House that soars over the NYC skyline and the East River — a consular showplace allegedly fast-tracked by Adams despite fire safety concerns.

“In Sept. 2021 [a Turkish official] told Eric Adams, the defendant, that it was his turn to repay the Turkish official by pressuring the New York City Fire Department to facilitate the opening of a new Turkish consular building — a 36-story skyscraper — without a fire inspection, in time for a high profile visit by Turkey’s president,” the indictment read.

“At the time, the building would have failed an FDNY inspection. In exchange for free travel and travel-related bribes in 2021 and 2022 arranged by the Turkish official, Adams did as instructed.

“Because of Adams’ pressure on the FDNY, the FDNY official responsible for the FDNY’s assessment of the skyscraper’s fire safety was told he would lose his job if he failed to acquiesce, and after Adams intervened, the skyscraper was opened as requested.” (Read more from “Inside the Turkish Tower in NYC at the Center of Historic Eric Adams Indictment” HERE)

Activists Defend Canceled Camp for Pedophiles Next to School

/1 Comment/in , , /by

After local outcry canceled a camp for “minor-attracted persons” set for last weekend in Vermont, several organizations are publicly defending those who declare a sexual attraction to children.

MAP Union, or MU, which represents itself as “an international organization representing the interests of minor-attracted people and their allies,” sent a statement to local reporter Guy Page protesting the camp cancelation as “bullying” and violence against “society’s most oppressed minority group.”

“While it is appropriate for law enforcement to investigate crimes when they occur, no-one should face legal sanctions for speaking freely about a sexual orientation they did not choose, nor for meeting up with others who have the same orientation,” a self-described MAP Union spokesperson, who called himself “Percy,” said in an email to Page he published Monday.

Bean noted “Percy” is “likely a pseudonym based on the 19th century English author of Mathilda, a novel about incest between a father and daughter.”

The person calling himself “Percy” also told Bean, “We hope to provide a more balanced approach to MAP advocacy than groups like NAMBLA have been able to in the past.” NAMBLA is the North American Man-Boy Love Association, which effectively disintegrated after a series of FBI stings jailed members for abusing children and trafficking in illegal abuse images.

The Great Evader: Kamala Takes No Questions From Media, Bolts From Podium After Presser With Zelensky

/1 Comment/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris avoided answering press questions again after delivering remarks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Thursday.

Harris has held zero press conferences since she joined the presidential race in July. She only conducted five television interviews, for which she faced a backlash for avoiding questions and failing to provide solutions to ongoing problems under the Biden-Harris administration.

Thursday was not an exception. Taking no questions, Harris bolted from the podium and directed Zelensky out of the room.

Harris’s attempts to weave and dodge suggest her record is a political liability. Harris faces a conundrum: She cannot campaign on policies to fix crime, inflation, and border security without undermining the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, but she must tout the administration’s policies to validate her record and candidacy.

President Joe Biden stated Wednesday that he delegated “everything” as commander in chief to Harris, including foreign policy and domestic policy. (Read more from “The Great Evader: Kamala Takes No Questions From Media, Bolts From Podium After Presser With Zelensky” HERE)

Poll: Most Voters Expect Another Assassination Attempt Against Trump Before Election Day

/0 Comments/in , /by

A strong majority of likely U.S. voters believe there will be another assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump before Election Day, a new Rasmussen Reports poll found.

The first assassination attempt against Trump occurred on July 13 during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when Thomas Matthew Crooks shot him in his right ear as he was speaking to the crowd, leaving his face bloodied. The second assassination attempt happened on Sept. 15, after suspect Ryan Wesley Routh was caught poking a gun out of the bushes onto Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have been under intense scrutiny for their handling of both incidents.

“A man was recently charged in connection with an apparent assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. How likely is it that there will be more assassination attempts against Trump between now and Election Day?” poll respondents were asked.

The survey found that 65 percent of respondents believe it is “likely” that there will be more assassination attempts against Trump before Election Day, including 32 percent who believe it is “very likely.” In contrast, 21 percent do not believe another attempt is likely, and 14 percent are not sure.

Majorities of every political category believe it is at least “somewhat likely” that there will be more attempts on Trump’s life, including 75 percent of Republicans, 56 percent of Democrats, and 64 percent of unaffiliated voters.
