Two Men Shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks at Trump’s Butler Rally Reveal Who They Blame

Two men who Thomas Matthew Crooks brutally injured at Donald Trump’s deadly July 13 Butler, Pennsylvania, rally have shared what happened after they were shot.

Jim Copenhaver, 74, and David Dutch, 54, were both hit after the late 20-year-old Crooks opened up fire on the ex-president. Tragically, Crooks killed father and firefighter Corey Comperatore as he was shielding his family.

Revealing for the first time what happened to them after they received a barrage of gunfire, the pair sat down with Tom Llamas on NBC Nightly News in a highly-anticipated interview that aired Monday evening. . .

The two also cast blame on the security officials in charge that day. . .

‘I believe there was 100 percent negligence on the Secret Service, probably everybody involved in setting that security, down to inter-department communications,’ he added. (Read more from “Two Men Shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks at Trump’s Butler Rally Reveal Who They Blame” HERE)

JD Vance Could Oust Donald Trump From the Presidency Under This Scenario

If former President Donald Trump wins, his victory may be short-lived, retired American Enterprise Institute scholar Norm Ornstein speculated to Salon’s Chauncey DeVega — because his running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, could essentially give him the boot if it becomes clear his cognitive decline has become too severe to carry out the basic functions of office.

This is a consequence of the 25th Amendment, which provides a mechanism for the president’s Cabinet to sideline him from duty if they deem the President cannot execute his duties.

“As the election approaches, I think we will see, excuse the cliche, more of Trump being Trump,” Ornstein told DeVega. “I also think we will see an increase in his cognitive decline, which I hope against hope is covered in the mainstream media. The public must be reminded that while the vice president is the only member of the Executive Branch who can’t be fired, the president can essentially be fired by the vice president should he become significantly impaired. This is accomplished through the 25th Amendment.”

“People must realize that a vote for Trump could easily be a vote for a President Vance,” said Ornstein. (Read more from “JD Vance Could Oust Donald Trump From the Presidency Under This Scenario” HERE)

JD Vance Has an Even Stronger Case for a Rigged 2020 Election in the Number of Illegal Ballots

The legacy media continues to push Sen. J.D. Vance to say Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, with Martha Raddatz on Sunday’s “This Week” being the latest in a string of interviewers pressing the vice-presidential candidate on that question. While Vance responded as before, that “of course Donald Trump and I believe there were problems in 2020,” the full exchange revealed that the fundamental flaw is in the question — not Vance’s answer.

For a full two minutes during yesterday’s interview, Raddatz demanded Vance say Trump lost the 2020 election. “Why won’t you say that?” she asked, to which Vance replied: “Because, Martha, I believe that in 2020, when Big Tech were censoring American citizens, that created very serious problems.”

“I don’t understand why you won’t just say that you believe it?” Raddatz retorted. “Did Donald Trump lose? That’s the question, and you know that’s the question.”

It was here that an exasperated Vance made his point clear: “Martha, I’ve said repeatedly I think the 2020 election had problems, you want to say ‘rigged,’ you want to say, ‘he won,’ use whatever vocabulary term you want.” What happened, Vance stressed, was the “censoring of fellow citizens in a way that ‘violated our fundamental rights,’” and that was a bigger problem, Vance explained, than what words he used to frame the issue.

This exchange proves key to understanding why Vance refuses to say, “Donald Trump lost the 2020 election,” and why the liberal press continues to demand an answer to that question.

Report: Tensions Rise Between Biden Staff and Harris Campaign; Biden Allegedly Sabotaging Kamala Harris’ Presidential Campaign

By Breitbart. Tensions are rising between President Joe Biden’s administration and Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign, with Biden’s senior staffers being labeled as too “in their feelings” to fully support Harris after he was pushed out of the race, inside sources revealed to Axios.

Biden and Harris have struggled to remain on the same page since she announced that she would be taking his place at the top of the Democrat ticket in July, with Biden holding an impromptu press conference just as Harris was about to hold an event in Michigan on Friday, “ensuring” that she would get less live coverage.

Prior to that, Harris slammed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for declining her call about Hurricane Milton — which he denied receiving — just before Biden undercut her by praising DeSantis for being “gracious” and “cooperative,” Axios reported.

An inside source told the outlet that Biden had not been briefed on Harris’s jabs at the Republican governor when he made those comments.

On top of those public fumbles between the current administration and the campaign, a close Harris ally told the publication that senior Biden aides are not fully on board with supporting the new presidential ticket after feeling slighted.

Biden Sabotaging Kamala Harris’ Presidential Campaign After Being Forced to Drop Re-Election Bid, Pundits Say

By New York Post. . .President Biden is so bitter about being forced to drop his re-election bid by top members of his own party that he’s deliberately sabotaging Kamala Harris’ campaign, according to a growing chorus of political pundits

Since being pressured out of the race in July over fears about declining cognitive abilities, Biden has done little for Harris beyond endorsing her, and has largely been a no-show at his vice president’s campaign events.

He’s also pulled the spotlight from his intended successor on numerous occasions, including delivering his own comments last week on how the White House is responding to Hurricane Helene — even after Harris cancelled a Las Vegas campaign event and hurried back to DC to be briefed on the storm’s impact.

The lame-duck leader has also served up a plethora of cringe-worthy actions that have left Donald Trump-loving conservatives salivating. They include sporting a “Trump 2024” cap during a 9/11 anniversary event last month, and praising Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Tuesday for how he’s prepped the Sunshine State to handle Hurricane Milton — one day after Harris complained that DeSantis didn’t take her call.

Meanwhile, there’s been growing tension in recent months between Biden’s advisors and Harris’ over her dueling interest of remaining loyal to the unpopular president while also promoting herself on the campaign trail as representing change, according to multiple reports.

Newt Gingrich Is Convinced Biden Wants Harris to Lose, and He Thinks He Knows Why

2024 is shaping up to be one of the most bizarre elections we’ve ever seen. From Biden being ousted in a “soft coup” by his own party, to President Trump teaming up with RFK Jr. and Elon Musk, and Kamala Harris basically hijacking her precious “democracy” to try to steal the White House—it’s been a wild ride. But one of the most interesting aspects of this campaign has been Joe Biden’s reaction to it all. It’s starting to look like Biden is actively sabotaging Kamala Harris. I mean, he actually put on a MAGA hat the day after Kamala’s debate with President Trump. Then he stood in front of the White House press corps and said he and Harris were “singing from the same song sheet” at a time when Team Harris was desperately trying to distance themselves from Biden’s—and Kamala’s—failures.

And if that wasn’t enough, while Kamala was trying to score political points by attacking Governor DeSantis during Hurricane Milton, Biden was praising the Florida Governor. So what’s really going on? Well, Newt Gingrich thinks he knows. He believes Joe and Jill have teamed up to undercut Harris—and he thinks he knows exactly why.

Kamala Harris Is Too Stupid To Be President

Univision hosted a “Latinos Ask” town hall with Kamala Harris on Thursday night, and it was about as airheaded and disingenuous as you’d expect. Here was one word salad from the first five minutes — remarkably in response to a question about the two hurricanes that just decimated the southeast of the country:

Leadership is about understanding the importance of lifting people up, understanding that the character of our country is such that we are a people who have ambitions and aspirations, dreams, goals for ourselves and our families, and are entitled to have a leader who then invests in that. … The two visions [for our country], simply put, are that one is about the future, and the other is about the past and taking us backward. And I do believe that the American people are ambitious and aspirational about an investment in the future in a way that we are optimistic while being clear-eyed.

That’s a lot of ambitions. After one voter observed that Harris was never elected to be the Democrat nominee but just magically became such when “President Biden was pushed aside,” the vice president naturally drove home the point for the umpteenth time that Donald Trump is the “unprecedented” threat to democracy. Funny she brought up Trump and democracy because the former president actually made an apropos comment about the topic earlier the same day, telling the Economic Club of Detroit: “Our biggest threat to democracy is stupid people.”

He’s onto something. Stupid people — people who know nothing of civic responsibility or common sense — do threaten the fabric of our self-government, especially when they hold power, and Kamala Harris is the poster child. She’s frankly too stupid to be president. . .

Kamala Harris can’t even articulate why she deserves your vote. The entire town hall consisted of the VP dodging questions from concerned voters, talking instead about, you guessed it, more ambitions, an “opportunity economy,” and taking down “transnational crime organizations.” The best she can offer is that she’s a woman of color and not Donald Trump or Joe Biden — as she answered to the softest of softball questions Stephen Colbert and the shrews of “The View” asked her this week — though she also can’t think of anything she would’ve done differently than Joe these past four years.

Harris’ responses in all her recent appearances, when she wasn’t talking like she was auditioning for “Cool Runnings,” are just the latest reminders that the second-in-command diversity hire is utterly mindless. Yes, every single one of her policy proposals is an unmitigated disaster. Yes, the country has gone down the toilet under her leadership, from foreign policy to the border invasion to the economy to the military. And yes, she’s failed — and slept — her way to the top. But on the most basic and obvious level, the Kamala ~phenomenon~ is too stupid for words. (Read more from “Kamala Harris Is Too Stupid To Be President” HERE)

West Virginia Resolution Would Prohibit State From Recognizing a President Elected by Fraud

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, it is widely expected that Republican candidate Donald Trump will secure a decisive victory in West Virginia, capturing the state’s four electoral votes with ease. However, a group of Republican lawmakers in West Virginia’s House of Delegates is pushing for the state to take a more prominent stance on the legitimacy of the election itself.

Five members of the House of Delegates recently introduced House Concurrent Resolution 203, which challenges the integrity of the upcoming national election. The resolution declares that the West Virginia Legislature will refuse to acknowledge the results of a presidential election deemed “illegitimate.” Central to their claim is the assertion that there is “overwhelming evidence” suggesting non-citizens are being registered to vote in the 2024 election.

The resolution’s language goes beyond general concerns and specifically outlines a variety of scenarios under which West Virginia could withhold recognition of the election outcome. The lawmakers’ concerns focus on allegations of election fraud or tampering in any state, implying that even isolated incidents of interference could invalidate the entire election in their eyes. According to the text of the resolution, if “election interference” is detected, West Virginia would not accept the election of the president, raising questions about how the state might handle certification of results and participate in the broader electoral process.

While Trump’s victory in the state seems certain, this move by Republican delegates signals a deeper skepticism about the national election process and could be indicative of broader challenges to the outcome if similar sentiments take hold in other states. The introduction of the resolution also highlights ongoing divisions within the country regarding election security, with some lawmakers continuing to push narratives that question the legitimacy of election processes and results on a broader scale.

Here’s the full language of the resolution:

HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 203

(By Delegates Ridenour, Mazzocchi, Dillon, Longanacre, Coop-Gonzalez, Foster, Foggin, Steele, and Butler)

[Introduced October 6, 2024; referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.]

Requesting that the West Virginia Legislature shall not recognize an illegitimate presidential election.

Whereas, a Constitutionally valid government only exists and endures when elections are conducted in accordance with all applicable legal requirements and are free of violence or threats of violence, government manipulation, censorship, coercion, fraudulent voting, or manipulation of votes, election tabulation, and/or election results by any means whatsoever; and that

Whereas, in the 2024 election cycle there have been, to date, two assassination attempts on the Republican nominee for President of the United States while threats of assassination of the Republican nominees for president and vice president abound. The federal government, under the current Democrat-led regime, has utterly failed, and continues to fail, in a suspicious manner, in its absolute duty to adequately protect the Republican nominee for president; and that

Whereas, the Constitutions of the United States and the State of West Virginia require that only legal citizens may vote in U.S. and West Virginia elections, and that there is abundant evidence that non-citizens have been and are being registered to vote in the national election of 2024; therefore, be it

Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

That, the sovereign State of West Virginia declares it will not recognize an election for President if such election is enabled by illegal or fraudulent acts; and be it

Further Resolved, That, the State of West Virginia will not recognize any election of the Democrat candidate for President during the 2024 election cycle if the Republican presidential or vice-presidential candidate is assassinated, seriously injured during an assassination attempt, incarcerated, de facto eliminated or barred from the ballot in any states, or is the subject of legal actions that preclude their effective campaigning; and be it

Further Resolved, That, the State of West Virginia will not recognize an election of a candidate for President during the 2024 election cycle if the Attorney General of West Virginia or the Secretary of State of West Virginia, in consultation with the West Virginia Legislature, determine that election fraud in any state was a major reason that resulted in a candidate for President obtaining a majority in the Electoral College. Election fraud includes non-citizen voting, vote buying, ballot forgery, illegal or illicit ballot harvesting, illegal or illicit discarding of legal votes or voter registrations, ballot miscounts, algorithmic manipulation of votes or vote tabulations, cyber-attack or manipulation, or intimidation. Election fraud also includes interference by any government entities, including arrests or prosecutions for apparent political motives, or other forms of persecution using legal or official processes, to negatively affect an electoral process, or a political entity participating in an electoral process, using unconstitutional, extraconstitutional, illegal, or otherwise illegitimate means, including those under the color of law or office; and be it

Further Resolved, That, the State of West Virginia will not recognize an election of a candidate for President, if the Attorney General of West Virginia or the Secretary of State of West Virginia, in consultation with the West Virginia Legislature, determine that election interference by the federal government, foreign governments, or other state governments was a key factor that resulted in a candidate for President obtaining a majority in the Electoral College. Election interference includes censorship, information suppression or manipulation, or other unconstitutional, extraconstitutional, illegal, or otherwise illegitimate actions by the federal government, foreign governments, or other state governments, either directly or in collusion with elements of the media, social media entities, information entities, or political entities; and be it

Further Resolved, Thereupon a determination by the Legislature of West Virginia, in consultation with the Attorney General and Secretary of State, of either the illegal or illicit elimination of the Republican presidential or vice presidential candidate during the 2024 election cycle; or election fraud or election interference resulting in the Constitutionally illegitimate selection of a President during the 2024 election cycle, the Legislature will be called into special session by the Governor to consider actions to preserve the Freedom of our People.

Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House forward a copy of this resolution to the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the Secretary of State of West Virginia, and the Governor of West Virginia; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House forward a copy of this resolution to the United States Congress.

Donald Trump Announces Major Family News

Former President Donald Trump announced Thursday at a campaign event in Detroit that his youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump, was pregnant with her first child.

News of Trump’s eleventh grandchild came as the GOP nominee thanked his daughter’s father-in-law, businessman Massad Boulos, for supporting him from the audience of the former president’s speech to the Detroit Economic Club.

“He happened to be the father of Tiffany’s husband, Michael, who’s a very exceptional young guy. And she’s an exceptional young woman. And she’s going to have a baby. So that’s nice,” Trump said.

Tiffany Trump had yet to announce her pregnancy at the time the Republican candidate made his remarks.

The announcement comes nearly two years after the former first daughter married husband Michael Boulos at a ceremony at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. (Read more from “Donald Trump Announces Major Family News” HERE)

Secret Service Blocked Independent Audit of Trump Security, Whistleblower Says

Senior leadership within the Secret Service blocked multiple auditors from the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General (OIG) from probing former President Donald Trump’s security detail, according to a new whistleblower report.

On Wednesday, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., sent a letter to Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe outlining the new charges of misconduct within the agency.

“A Secret Service whistleblower has alleged to my office that Secret Service headquarters blocked several auditors from the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General (OIG) from accessing recent Trump campaign events,” Hawley wrote. “The whistleblower alleges that the Secret Service denied access to DHS auditors because the former president is not receiving the full level of protective assets for all of his events, and Secret Service leadership wants to obscure or simply conceal this fact.”

According to the whistleblower, Hawley added, “Secret Service leadership is permitting OIG auditors only at select events — such as a recent rally in North Carolina — where President Trump receives the full level of protective assets, to create the impression he is receiving this level of protection at all times, when in fact he is not.”

The latest whistleblower disclosure comes two weeks after Hawley sent another letter to Rowe charging the agency with denying Trump “sufficient assets” for a campaign rally in Wisconsin. The failure to provide the former president with full security forced Republicans to cancel the Badger State event.

WATCH: Kamala Harris Appears Distracted During Hurricane Milton Briefing, Hides Her Mouth To Tell Someone ‘It’s a Live Broadcast’

In a clumsy attempt to be discreet, Vice President Kamala Harris was caught on a hot mic and on video Wednesday telling someone that the Hurricane Milton briefing she was in the middle of was a “live broadcast.”

As National Weather Service Director Ken Graham warned of the potentially devastating flooding that could result from the major hurricane’s landfall, Harris – who was taking part in briefing over video – appeared to become distracted by something behind the camera.

@dailymail Kamala Harris was caught on a hot mic talking to her staff during a Hurricane Milton briefing. She can be seen covering her mouth, but doesn't realize her microphone is on, saying 'it's a live broadcast.' #kamala #hurricanemilton #florida #news ♬ original sound – Daily Mail

The vice president – in a moment that some on social media likened to a scene from HBO’s “Veep” – then awkwardly raised her hands up to her chin and slowly concealed half her face, including her mouth, with her palms and fingers.

“It’s a live broadcast,” Harris barked, with her mouth still shielded behind her hands.

Graham wrapped up his portion of the briefing seconds after the bizarre moment. (Read more from “Kamala Harris Appears Distracted During Hurricane Milton Briefing, Hides Her Mouth To Tell Someone ‘It’s a Live Broadcast’” HERE)
