Report: Phone Linked to Would-Be Trump Assassin Near FBI Offices in 2023

/4 Comments/in , , /by

Recent revelations from the Heritage Oversight Project have intensified scrutiny surrounding the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump, shedding light on alarming geo-location findings involving the perpetrator, Thomas Matthew Crooks.

According to a report by the Heritage Oversight Project, a phone associated with Crooks visited the Gallery Place building in Washington, D.C., which houses the FBI offices, on June 26th, 2023. The phone reportedly “pinged” multiple times from that location, raising concerns about potential connections or reconnaissance activities prior to the attempted attack.

Crooks, 20, was fatally shot by a Secret Service counter-sniper after opening fire on Trump and attendees at the July 13 event, narrowly missing the former president due to a timely movement. The shooting claimed the life of retired fire chief Corey Comperatore and left two others seriously injured, sparking a nationwide debate on security protocols and the motives behind the attack.

The Oversight Project, a division of the Heritage Foundation, initiated a comprehensive geo-location investigation immediately following the incident, utilizing data from phones associated with Crooks’ home and work addresses. This investigation aimed to track the movements and potential accomplices of the assailant.

Geo-location technology identified several devices linked to Crooks that traveled from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, to strategic locations including Butler and even Logan International Airport in Boston. The report highlighted trips made to surveil the Butler site ahead of the Trump rally, suggesting premeditated planning.

Furthermore, a phone associated with Crooks was reported to have visited the Allegheny Arms & Gun Works, adding to questions about how he accessed firearms and conducted surveillance undetected.

“We began this investigation on the night of the shooting and have been working tirelessly since then,” a spokesperson for the Oversight Project told Blaze News.

The findings underscore significant gaps in security protocols and raise critical questions about how an individual with limited firearms experience could orchestrate such a sophisticated attack. Concerns have also been voiced regarding potential connections between Crooks and individuals or entities that facilitated his actions.

Pastor Reveals What Trump Did After Massive Fire Torches Historic Church Sanctuary at First Baptist Church

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Pastor Robert Jeffress, leader of the historic First Baptist Church in Dallas, said former President Donald Trump reached out after the church’s historic sanctuary burned down.

On Friday shortly after 6 p.m., Dallas Fire and Rescue received a call about a fire at the church’s historic sanctuary, which had been in use since the 1890s. The fire eventually grew to a four-alarm blaze that took more than three hours to extinguish. Fortunately, no one was injured or killed in the fire. . .

But Pastor Jeffress, who is an ardent Trump supporter, told local media that he doesn’t believe his support for the former president is behind the fire.

More importantly, he said Trump is offering his support in the wake of the devastating fire.

“I don’t believe my support for President Trump has anything to do with this fire,” Jeffress told KTVT-TV. “I did receive a nice note from the president, who has spoken here before at our church. He offered his help to do anything he could.” (Read more from “Pastor Reveals What Trump Did After Massive Fire Torches Historic Church Sanctuary at First Baptist Church” HERE)

A Harris-Newsom Presidential Ticket? There’s One Big Legal Hurdle: The 12th Amendment

/2 Comments/in , , /by

. . .[Gavin] Newsom had been named as a potential Democratic nominee or running mate, along with Govs. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Andy Beshear of Kentucky, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

There’s just one problem for a potential Vice President Newsom: the 12th Amendment. . .

It states’ electors “vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves.”

While Harris lives at the vice president’s residency at Washington, D.C.’s Naval Observatory, she maintains official residency and is registered to vote in California.

That means a ticket with two California residents would essentially void the state’s 54 electoral votes, according to legal experts. (Read more from “A Harris-Newsom Presidential Ticket? There’s One Big Legal Hurdle: The 12th Amendment” HERE)

Dominion Voting Machines Reportedly Malfunction in Maricopa County Amid CrowdStrike outage

/9 Comments/in , , /by

Recent developments in Maricopa County, Arizona have reignited concerns over election integrity as Dominion voting machines reportedly malfunctioned county-wide due to a CrowdStrike outage. This incident has prompted critics to question longstanding assurances from officials that these machines are secure and never connected to the internet.

According to reports, numerous voting locations in Maricopa County are experiencing technical issues, allegedly linked to problems with e-poll books and print on demand printers, which experts suggest could be related to the CrowdStrike outage. Among those raising alarms is @ColonelReynolds, who has pointed out potential vulnerabilities that may compromise the integrity of election processes.

The outage has affected a significant number of voting locations, leaving only a handful operational. This disruption raises serious doubts about the integrity of these machines.

This incident highlights the susceptibility of voting machines to cyber attacks, despite assurances to the contrary. For years, officials have maintained that Dominion voting machines are isolated from internet connectivity to prevent interference. However, the current situation challenges these claims and calls into question the reliability of such assurances.

“If Maricopa County officials want us to trust their elections, they’re going to need to start being honest about just how easily these machines can be affected by cyber attacks,” remarked an X user.

Scientists Make Unprecedented Discovery on Mars by Accident

/11 Comments/in , , /by

NASA scientists expressed that they were “stunned” after their Mars Curiosity rover cracked open a rock that was found to contain pure sulfur crystals, a NASA press release read Thursday.

The Curiosity rover’s social media account tweeted that the “pure sulfur … doesn’t smell” and the discovery of elemental sulfur “is something we’ve never seen before on Mars.”

“We don’t know much about these yellow crystals yet, but my team is excited to investigate,” the rover tweeted.

NASA scientists are still unsure “what relationship, if any, the elemental sulfur has to other sulfur-based minerals in the area” the rock was found in, according to the press release. NASA added that all previous discoveries were that of “sulfur-based minerals — in other words, a mix of sulfur and other materials.”

The rover — following its unprecedented discovery — has found “an entire field of bright rocks that look similar to the one the rover crushed,” the press release revealed. (Read more from “Scientists Make Unprecedented Discovery on Mars by Accident” HERE)

Biden’s Team Deliberately Kneecapped Trump’s Security to Allow an Assassination Attempt

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Nobody wants to hear this because of the implications, but oh well, because it needs to be said: Joe Biden’s security regime deliberately and with malice aforethought created the conditions that led to an attempted assassin shooting Donald Trump in the head. It is by the grace of God that he lived and our nation is not currently in the midst of a violent civil war.

They deliberately starved Trump’s security team of the resources it needed. And they did it repeatedly, over many weeks and months.

With Trump’s security detail understaffed, under-resourced, and stretched to its limits, Biden’s security regime reportedly diverted even more resources to a hastily planned Jill Biden event that just happened to be in the area.

Biden’s security regime then ordered the most obvious assassination perch in the entire area to remain outside the main security perimeter.

Furthermore, Biden’s Secret Service director ordered law enforcement and counter-snipers OFF the roof the assassin used. (Read more from “Biden’s Team Deliberately Kneecapped Trump’s Security to Allow an Assassination Attempt” HERE)

J.D. Vance Hits Religious Leaders With Profanity-Riddled ‘Pulp Fiction’ Quote

/1 Comment/in , , /by

J.D. Vance offered a profane explanation based on a quote from “Pulp Fiction” to describe his religious faith.

Donald Trump’s freshly minted running mate told a gathering of religious conservatives Thursday morning at the Faith & Freedom Coalition Breakfast about a scene in the 1994 Quentin Tarantino film that he said explained his faith and his view on miracles, reported Politico.

He described an argument between Samuel L. Jackson’s character and ‘his fellow violent gangster’ about ‘whether God had come down from heaven and stopped these mother-effing bullets – that would be the exact phrase,'” Politico reported.

“Jackson’s character says, ‘Well, look, it’s not about whether God changed Coke to Pepsi or found my car keys, what matters is I felt the touch of God,'” Vance reportedly said. (Read more from “J.D. Vance Hits Religious Leaders With Profanity-Riddled ‘Pulp Fiction’ Quote” HERE)

WATCH: Take a Look at Trump’s Face When Nikki Haley Claims He Invited Her to Speak at the RNC

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appeared to scoff at Nikki Haley when she claimed during her speech at the RNC Tuesday night that the former president invited her to speak.

After Haley claimed that Trump asked her to speak at the convention “in the name of unity,” Trump appeared to scoff and immediately turned to his recently tapped vice presidential nominee, J.D. Vance. Trump’s remark to Vance appears to suggest he was not thrilled with Haley, who only accepted an offer to speak on Sunday following the assassination attempt.

Haley finished in a distant second place during the Republican primaries earlier in 2024, winning an insignificant 95 delegates whom she eventually released to Trump.

The former South Carolina governor was a harsh critic of Trump during the primary campaign, calling him “totally unhinged” and claiming that he was suffering from “mental decline.” In a stark change of tone, Haley offered a full-throated endorsement of Trump during her speech Tuesday night.

People Can’t Get Over Nikki Haley Shaking Her Head As She Endorsed Trump During Convention Speech

By Comic Sands. Former South Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley officially endorsed former President Donald Trump in a speech at the Republican National Convention—though eagle-eyed viewers noted the way she shook her head as if to say “no” even while publicly throwing her support behind him.

Haley, once Trump’s primary rival on the campaign trail, gave him her “strong endorsement” during her appearance in Milwaukee, ending months of speculation about whether she would support her former opponent.

Haley’s remarks came just weeks after she was called out for reversing course by announcing she plans on voting for Trump in the 2024 election after previously calling him a “disaster” in a speech in February.

Family of Nine Left Behind in Remote Alaska, Charged $9K by Cruise Line

/1 Comment/in , , /by

An Oklahoma family of nine was left stranded in remote Alaska after their Norwegian Cruise Lines ship left them behind — and then charged the desperate family $9,000 in customs fees.

The Gault family was traveling with six young kids and a 78-year-old grandmother on July 12 when they disembarked from the Norwegian Encore in Katchikan, a small town in a string of south Alaskan islands, so they could watch a lumberjack show together.

But on their way back, the local tour operator transporting passengers to and from the vessel failed to properly check who had tickets and who didn’t — merely conducting a head count — and told the Gaults there was no room and to wait for another shuttle. . .

However, that bus never came, and after frantically calling the port authority to arrange transportation, they finally arrived back at the docks to see the Norwegian Encore sailing away — taking with it their passports, medication and clothes. . .

The family, which had already spent about $30,000 on the trip, was immediately hit with nearly a $9,000 charge from the cruise line — $971 per passenger — for missing the boat. (Read more from “Family of Nine Left Behind in Remote Alaska, Charged $9K by Cruise Line” HERE)

Here’s Why Kamala Harris’ Post About JD Vance is Particularly Awful

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former and potentially future President Donald Trump on Monday picked Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) as his running mate, and as we’ve been covering since, the Democrats have been going after him nonstop. The Democrats have especially tried to tie Trump and Vance to the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, even when this has repeatedly been confirmed to not be the case. It goes deeper, though.

In a Wednesday morning post, Vice President Kamala Harris not only once again connected Vance to Project 2025, she had the audacity to claim Vance “will be loyal only to Trump, not to our country.”

President Joe Biden’s X account also shared Harris’ post, with yet another message about Project 2025. The Democrats’ X account reposted both Harris and Biden. . .

Such a charge about one’s loyalty is a harsh one to be making about anybody It’s particularly so in Vance’s case, given that he’s a veteran who served in the United States Marine Corps during the Iraq War. Neil W. McCabe at our sister site of RedState also put out a piece highlighting Vance’s military career not long after the Monday announcement was made.

This combative tone stands in stark contrast to how Harris had reportedly just called Vance days before to leave a message congratulating him and welcoming him to the race.
