Alan Dershowitz Says Feds May Not Be Able to Prosecute Would-Be Trump Assassin for Attempted Assassination

/1 Comment/in , /by

Alan Dershowitz expressed doubt on Monday that federal prosecutors could make a case for attempted murder against the man accused of trying to assassinate former President Donald Trump on Sept. 15.

Secret Service agents thwarted the apparent assassination attempt on Trump by firing shots at Ryan Wesley Routh, who was allegedly lurking near Trump International Golf Club, two months after Trump was shot in the right ear while giving a speech at a July campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Dershowitz said that despite Routh’s intent to kill Trump, it was not clear that all of the legal elements for attempted murder were present.

“Based on my experience, I don’t think they have a case for attempted assassination,” Dershowitz said. “Let me explain why, this is gonna sound so counterintuitive. The guy obviously wanted to kill the president and he took actions to kill the president. Now here… you’re getting a free Harvard criminal law class.”

“If he conspired with somebody else to do, it would be an open and shut case, because for conspiracy all you need is an agreement to kill the president or to try to kill the president, and he did certainly agree with himself, he certainly made up his mind,” Dershowitz continued. “We have the evidence, the letter, he wrote a letter… saying ‘I wanted to kill the president, I tried to kill the president, I failed, I’m giving $150,000 to anybody else who succeeds.’ So, if it were conspiracy, it would be a clear case, conspiracy to assassinate the president, open and shut. Why isn’t it an open and shut case for attempt?” . . .

“He never had the president in his line of fire, and of course he never pulled the trigger,” Dershowitz said, referring to Routh. “So the question as the court will have to address, the question without a clear answer, is whether or not preparing, putting your gun in a location, putting it through the link fence, but not getting the president in the line of sight and not pulling the trigger is enough to turn it from preparation to attempt, and the law is just unclear on that.” (Read more from “Alan Dershowitz Says Feds May Not Be Able to Prosecute Would-Be Trump Assassin for Attempted Assassination” HERE)

Former President Donald Trump visited a grocery store in Pennsylvania on Monday where he gave $100 to a struggling mother of three.

The former president was visiting the Sprankles grocery store in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, when he turned to a mother at the checkout stand to give her a little gift.

“Here, it’s going to go down a little bit,” the former president said, referring to her grocery price tag. “It just went down $100 bucks.”

“Thank you so much,” the woman responded.

“We’ll do that for you from the White House,” he replied before taking notice of her kids.

Kamala Harris Rambles On For Nearly Three Minutes When Asked What She Will Do To Secure The Border; VP Gets Called Out by Oprah Winfrey for Dodging Question at Campaign Event, Again Offers No Proposals (VIDEO)

/13 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Vice President Kamala Harris gave a meandering response to a question about how she would address illegal immigration during a Thursday night forum hosted by Oprah Winfrey.

Illegal immigration has become a prominent issue in the 2024 campaign after a series of crimes involving illegal immigrants, including the murders of Rachel Morin, Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray and the struggles experienced after an influx of over 20,000 Haitian migrants into the city of Springfield, Ohio. Harris initially discussed her background as attorney general of California and a prosecutor before turning her attention to the demise of a bipartisan border bill.

“This is not a theoretical issue for me, this is something I have actually worked on,” Harris told Justin, a black man who asked her what she would do to secure the border. “I have prosecuted transnational criminal organizations for the trafficking of guns, drugs and human beings. I take very seriously the importance of having a secure border and ensuring the safety of the American people.”

The Senate failed to invoke cloture on a motion to begin debate on legislation combining foreign aid and border security negotiated by Republican Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma, Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona by a vote of 50-49 on Feb. 7.

Kamala Harris Gets Called Out by Oprah Winfrey for Dodging Question at Campaign Event, Again Offers No Proposals (VIDEO)

By New York Post. Kamala Harris on Thursday night attended a star-studded campaign event hosted by Oprah Winfrey, who was forced to nudge the vice president to get to the point during a rambling response to a policy question posed by the audience.

The two-hour “Unite for America” livestream event from Michigan was meant to highlight the grassroots organizers who are backing Harris and give voters an opportunity to ask her about her platform — but the Democratic presidential nominee didn’t offer any new policy proposals. . .

The “Unite for America” event was meant to reach a large number of voters through Winfrey’s presence and a number of simultaneous streaming platforms on social media.

A wide list of celebrities like Chris Rock and Ben Stiller, who said they were voting for Harris, also tuned in to the event. (Read more from “Kamala Harris Gets Called Out by Oprah Winfrey for Dodging Question at Campaign Event, Again Offers No Proposals (VIDEO)” HERE)

What the Heck Is Happening in New York? Trump Rocks the City to Its Core…

/6 Comments/in , , /by

What the heck is going on in the Big Apple? President Trump showed up, rocked the entire city to its core, and brought everyone to their feet at a huge arena in Long Island. Sounds impossible, right? Well, it’s not—that’s exactly what happened. Who would’ve thought we’d ever see a crowd like this for President Trump in New York?

And forget what was happening inside for a minute—just look at the streets of NYC, where people were packed in and lined up just to catch a glimpse of President Trump as his motorcade passed by on its way out to Long Island. This is the man of the people, and that’s a fact.

There’s been a lot of talk lately about uncivilized Haitian migrants—mainly the ones in Ohio who are reportedly eating people’s pets. But it seems the violent Haitians aren’t just in Ohio; they were out in full force, protesting President Trump and harassing his supporters.

Thousands of people flooded the Nassau Coliseum just to catch a glimpse of the popular former president and frontrunner for the 2024 election. Do you think Kamala Harris could show up in the reddest city in the nation and pull a crowd like that on her own—without pretending Beyoncé will be there? Of course not.

The Nassau Coliseum is a hockey arena that can fit 20,000 people.

Woman Uses Chip Implanted in Her Hand to Pay at Whole Foods, Calls It ‘The Coolest Thing Ever’

/3 Comments/in , /by

The internet claims that humanity is either taking another step in evolution or going too far with chip implants. While skull chip implants, like the ones from Elon Musk’s Neuralink, have grabbed headlines, one TikTok creator went viral for a chip implanted in her hand. Burgundy Waller, @chipgirlhere, has a radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip implanted in her hand. One of her videos of her paying with the chip has left the internet in shock.

The dog mom, ‘bonus mom’, law student and wife has explained in her videos that she was inspired by her ‘techie husband’, to get the chip. Burgundy shared that she installed the chip between her index finger and thumb back in 2020. At the time, the chip was meant to be a replacement for keys to unlock the front door and closets of her smart home. According to Govtech, RFID chips are identifying transponders that carry a unique identification number which allows them to tag or store specific user data.

However, she updated the technology to perform a plethora of actions and transactions. Apart from unlocking smart locks, the chip now allows her to shop without a credit card.

In a clip, which now appears to be deleted from her account, Burgandy shows how making payments using her hand worked. In the video, which was reshared on TikTok by another user @swiftness0427, Burgandy uses the chip at a ‘Whole Foods’ grocery store.

She is seen hovering her hand over a payment scanner at the checkout, after which her payment goes through in seconds. It appears to be the first time that Burgandy used the chip to pay as she says “This is the coolest thing ever.”

Arizona Cardinals Ripped for Forcing Woman to Throw MAGA Hat in Trash Before Entering Stadium

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Arizona Cardinals are taking heat for forcing a season ticket holder to throw away her MAGA hat to get into State Farm Stadium last weekend.

Susan Rosener, who has owned season tickets for 34 years, told KPNX-TV that on Sunday, stadium security flagged her down and told her she could not enter the facility with her “Make America Great Again” hat.

Rosener said the security officials told her that political gear is not allowed in the stadium.

The long-time fan said she asked the security worker why the hat was prohibited.

“She’s like, ‘no political hats or shirts.’ And I said I haven’t heard that at all. And I said that doesn’t make sense to me. And she goes, ‘I said, Take your hat off,’” Rosener told the station.

Local Sheriff Blows Lid off of Trump Assassination Plot, Raises ‘Ominous’ Questions; Would-Be Trump Assassin Met With Members of Congress in 2023

/22 Comments/in , , /by

By Chris Powell. A potentially devastating plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump was barely thwarted on Sunday, sparking major security concerns and raising alarming questions about how a convicted felon was able to get within range of Trump at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Sheriff Bill Snyder of Martin County shed light on the situation on Monday, highlighting the severe implications of what could have been another catastrophic event.

The suspect, identified as 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, was taken into custody after authorities discovered him hiding in the bushes near Trump International Golf Club. Routh allegedly had an AR-style rifle with a scope trained on the former president, who was about 400 yards away at the time. While the Secret Service and FBI quickly intervened, many are left questioning how such an individual, already convicted of multiple serious crimes, managed to get so close to the former president.

Sheriff Snyder revealed his deep concerns over the incident, asking, “How does a guy from not here get all the way to Trump International, realize that the former president of the United States is golfing, and is able to get a rifle in that vicinity? I think that’s the question the FBI, the Secret Service, are laser-focused on today.”

Snyder went on to pose even more chilling questions: “Is this guy part of a conspiracy? Is he a lone gunman? If he’s a lone gunman, President Trump is that much safer because we have him. But if he’s part of a conspiracy, then this whole thing really takes on a very ominous tone.”

Report: Would-Be Trump Assassin Met With Members of Congress in 2023

By Chris Powell. On Sunday, Ryan Wesley Routh, a convicted felon from Greensboro, North Carolina, was apprehended by Florida law enforcement after his assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach. The incident took place when Secret Service agents fired at Routh, who was spotted hiding in shrubbery near the golf course with a rifle. While Routh managed to flee initially, he was arrested later and charged in federal court for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. Additional charges are expected to follow.

Routh, 58, has a checkered past that includes a felony conviction in 2002. However, it is his activities abroad, particularly his involvement in Ukraine, that have raised eyebrows and garnered national attention. In 2022, Routh traveled to Ukraine, where he attempted to recruit Afghan soldiers who had fled the Taliban. His efforts were part of a larger, uncoordinated, endeavor to bring foreign fighters into the conflict against Russia. According to reports, Routh’s social media posts revealed strong support for Ukraine’s war effort.

The situation took an even more bizarre turn when it was revealed that Routh claims to have been involved in a meeting with members of Congress in 2023. Although it remains unclear which members of Congress were present, Routh mentioned in an interview that he had scheduled a two-hour meeting in Washington, D.C., to discuss Ukraine and his attempts to recruit Afghan soldiers for the war effort. This connection has fueled speculation about whether Routh’s political ties played any role in his actions leading up to the assassination attempt.

A 2023 report by The New York Times profiled Routh’s involvement in Ukraine, where he was seeking to transport Afghan soldiers from Iran and Pakistan to the front lines. His plans included attempts to procure forged passports and even talks of bribing corrupt officials to facilitate their passage into Ukraine. Despite his lack of military experience, Routh appeared determined to involve himself in the conflict. At one point, he even claimed he was trying to arrange a U.S. military transport flight from Iraq to Poland, though the feasibility of such a plan is questionable at best.

Listen to the Eerie ‘Sound’ From a Black Hole, Captured by NASA (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

NASA created a haunting audio clip of sound waves rippling out of a supermassive black hole, located 250 million light-years away.

The black hole is at the center of the Perseus cluster of galaxies, and the acoustic waves coming from it have been transposed up 57 and 58 octaves so they’re audible to human hearing.

The result (below), released by NASA in 2022, is a sort of unearthly (obviously) howling that, if we’re honest, sounds not only spooky, but a little bit angry. . .

In 2003, astronomers detected something truly astonishing: acoustic waves propagating through the copious amounts of gas surrounding the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Perseus galaxy cluster, which is now renowned for its eerie wails.

But this recent sonification has not only brought the recording up a whole lot of octaves, they’ve also added to the notes detected from the black hole, so we can get a sense of what they would sound like, ringing through intergalactic space.

‘Gave Me Chills’: Watch Jim Morrison and the Doors Scorch Kamala Harris in New Parody Song

/0 Comments/in , , /by

No, Jim Morrison is not back from the grave, but his smash hit with his rock group The Doors, “Light My Fire,” has been resurrected into a Kamala Harris spoof called “Big Fat Liar.”

Parody songmaker Brian Coyne created the reworked video mixing actual footage of The Doors’ 1967 appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” with news clips of Harris during her 2024 presidential campaign.

The 2024 lyrics state:

You always say what is untrue
You are a master falsifier
When somebody fact-checks you
Like a chameleon you change your attire

Kamala’s a big fat liar
Kamala’s a big fat liar
Liar, Liar, pants on fire!

The time for cackling is through
Joe Biden’s condition is dire
Now the party turns to you
It’s time to claim what you desire

Kamala’s a big fat liar
Kamala is such a liar
Liar, Liar, pants on fire!

You said that you worked in fast food
And put potatoes in a fryer
I hope they have a job for you
Come November when you are FIRED!

Kamala’s a big fat liar
Kamala’s a big fat liar
Liar, Liar, pants on fire!

Vance Apparently Chastised for Out-of-Line Comments on Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. J.D. Vance says he won’t try to speak for Donald Trump in the future after the vice presidential nominee expressed a contradicting viewpoint on a federal abortion ban.

The admission came after a moment at Tuesday’s debate where the former president broke with his running mate and said they have not yet discussed a veto on banning abortion at a national level.

‘I think that I’ve learned my lesson on speaking for the president before he and I have actually talked about an issue,’ Vance said in an interview with Meet the Press host Kristen Welker on Sunday morning.

The Ohio Senator said his point last month was to reiterate that Trump has been clear he does not support the idea of a national ban – but that he also thinks the issue would never cross his desk because it wouldn’t get through Congress in the first place.

Asked at the debate with Vice President Kamala Harris in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Tuesday if he would veto a bill putting a federal ban on abortions, Trump was noncommittal. . .

But when the ABC debate moderator Linsey Davis pressed him on Vance’s remarks just weeks earlier, the ex-president broke with his running mate

‘I didn’t discuss it with J.D. in all fairness,’ Trump said on stage. ‘J.D. – and I don’t mind if he has a certain view – but I think he was speaking for me. But I really didn’t.’ (Read more from “Vance Apparently Chastised for Out-of-Line Comments on Abortion” HERE)
