CNN Interviewed Kids to Get Their Take on Kamala Harris — And the Responses Were Absolutely Savage

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Fourth-graders savaged the vice president and Democratic nominee as part of a “study” conducted by professors at Stanford University and Arizona State University and reported Wednesday by CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

“What’s the first word that pops into your head when you hear the name Kamala Harris?” asked Arizona State professor Asheley Landrum.

“Liar,” a Texas boy fired back without missing a beat.

“It’d be good for us to have a black woman as president for the first time in history, but my vote’s kind of still on Trump,” added a black girl, who was definitely not of voting age.

“I just don’t think a woman would be right for our president,” another Texas girl said.

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.

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.

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.

Postal Union Issues Trump Letter: ‘Existential Threat’

/2 Comments/in , , /by

As we approach the November election, a letter from the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) has raised eyebrows. The letter warns that if former President Donald Trump wins, it could pose an “existential threat” to the union and its members. Signed by Georgia NALC President Don Griggs, this communication urges members to think carefully about their voting choices, suggesting that the consequences could significantly impact their jobs and the union’s future.

The letter specifically criticizes Trump’s agenda, particularly Project 2025, despite him having no involvement, painting it as a threat to organized labor. It claims that if Trump were to take office again, he would appoint allies opposed to union interests throughout the executive branch.

Among the assertions made are proposals that could fundamentally change the labor landscape: banning public employee unions, replacing private-sector unions with company-controlled alternatives, and allowing states to bypass federal overtime and minimum wage standards. It even mentions the potential repeal of the Davis-Bacon Act, which sets wage requirements on federal projects.

However, the situation became more complicated when Griggs later clarified that he did not authorize the letter, stating it was sent out by the AFL-CIO without his permission. He expressed surprise at its contents, indicating that he would have preferred the national union to communicate directly with its members rather than through state-level channels.

The NALC’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris further highlights the ongoing alignment between labor organizations and Democratic candidates. This move has left many conservatives questioning the priorities of unions that traditionally stood for workers’ rights.

As the election nears, it’s vital for all voters, including union members, to consider the implications of their choices. While the NALC’s letter expresses fear over a Trump presidency, supporters of Trump see an opportunity for pro-business policies that would benefit workers and the economy at large.

How the FBI Is Willing to Risk Your Safety to Get Kamala Elected

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Shortly after the two ABC moderators entered the presidential debate on the side of Kamala Harris, there was a brief moment when Donald Trump pushed back. It happened when David Muir finished one of his drive-by “fact-checks,” concerning the crime rate in this country. The moderator intended to immediately ask Kamala Harris a question, so that Trump couldn’t respond. But Trump did respond, and the moderator had no answer to what he said. Watch:

If you’re going to debate a candidate, when you’re really supposed to be the moderator, then you should at least be able to debate. But Muir had no answer when Trump refuted his canned talking point about FBI data. He sheepishly had to pivot to Kamala, who started laughing awkwardly. . .

This summer, when the FBI released its Quarterly Uniform Crime Report showing that crime was down, they didn’t include data from New York or Los Angeles. The NYPD and LAPD are the two biggest police forces in the entire country, but they didn’t report their data at all, apparently because they couldn’t comply with the FBI’s new data-tracking requirements in time. And that wasn’t particularly unusual. Back in 2022, roughly one-third of the country’s 6,000 police agencies didn’t report crime data to the FBI. This isn’t some partisan point I’m making. The FBI admitted all of this.

Yesterday, though, the FBI released its latest updated annual report. And the agency claims that this time around, the report comprehensively documents violent crimes that occurred in 2023 because the data comes from law enforcement agencies that cover more than 95% of the country’s population — including the NYPD and LAPD. According to the new data, car thefts went up by around 20% from 2022 to 2023. So that’s a massive increase. But violent crime was supposedly down overall by 3%, while “murder and non-negligent homicide” were down more than 10%. Reported rapes were down nearly 10% as well, and property crimes dropped 2.5%.

Another Defendant Faces Charges for Allegedly Threatening President Trump’s Life

/0 Comments/in , /by

There’s been another alleged threat against the life of President Donald Trump, who has survived two apparent assassination schemes in just the last few weeks, and a spokesman for his campaign blames it directly on the “violent rhetoric” of Kamala Harris and other extremist Democrats.

A report in the Daily Mail explains Warren Jones Crazybull, 64, of Sandpoint, Idaho, allegedly made at least nine calls to Trump’s Florida residence, saying he was going to kill Trump.

The calls came July 31, just weeks after Trump was shot and injured in the ear in an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“In one call, according to a criminal complaint and affidavit first reported on Monday, Crazybull threatened to ‘find Trump’ and said he was ‘coming down to Bedminster tomorrow,’ which is the town where Trump National Golf Club is located in New Jersey,” the report said. . . .

In fact, Joe Biden, Harris, and a long list of other extremists in the Democrat party have for several years described Trump as a “Hitler.” They’ve insisted he would be a dictator if he ever returned to office. They make wild claims that he would destroy “democracy” if elected. Such rhetoric is widely considered to be one of the reasons for the sudden spate of threats against and attacks on Trump.

One Republican State Senator Paves Way for Trump to Possibly Lose by Single Electoral Vote

/3 Comments/in , , /by

A single Republican state senator has opened up a potential nightmare scenario for former President Donald Trump.

Republican Nebraska State Sen. Mike McDonnell announced Monday that he opposes changing the state’s current system, where presidential candidates are awarded one electoral vote for each congressional district they win, plus two votes for whoever wins the whole state, to a winner-take-all allocation. McDonnell’s refusal to back the change would allow Vice President Kamala Harris to lose every Sub Belt swing state and still defeat Trump 270 to 268 if she pulls off victories in the Rust Belt and Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District.

Without McDonnell’s support, Nebraska Republicans have no path to overcome a filibuster blocking the change to how electoral votes are allocated, according to the Nebraska Examiner.

In the event that Trump and Harris each receive 269 electoral votes in November, the House delegations for each state would vote for their preferred candidate and the candidate with the most states backing them takes the White House — a process that would favor Trump as 26 states currently have majority-Republican delegations, according to CNN.

Every other state in the union, with the exception of Maine, awards electoral votes on a winner-takes-all basis. President Joe Biden won Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District in 2020, however, Trump won it in 2016.

‘Finish the Job’: DOJ Publishes Bounty Offer From Latest Would-Be Trump Assassin; Bill Barr Blasts DOJ for Releasing Letter: ‘Dumbfounded’

/4 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. Prosecutors for the U.S. Department of Justice released a letter, allegedly penned by the man arrested for attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump as he golfed in West Palm Beach last week, which offers a $150,000 reward to anyone who could “complete the job” of murdering the Republican candidate.

“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I am so sorry I failed you,” the letter addressed to the “World” reads. “I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.”

The alleged author of the letter, Ryan Routh, attributed Democrat and corporate media rhetoric painting Trump as “unfit to be anything, much less a US president,” as motivation for his crime. He also blamed Trump’s decision to cut ties with Iran as the primary reason the “Middle East has unraveled.” . . .

According to court papers, Routh dropped off the letter in a package with an unnamed person “several months prior” to the golf course assassination attempt. It wasn’t until days after Routh’s arrest, however, that the “civilian witness” reportedly first opened the box containing “ammunition, a metal pipe, miscellaneous building materials, tools, four phones, and various letters” and alerted authorities.

The circumstances surrounding the letter’s appearance raise many questions. The content of the letter, however, makes clear that the would-be assassin’s ultimate goal in hiding in the bushes at Trump International Golf Course on September 15 was to permanently remove Trump from the planet by whatever means necessary.

Bill Barr Blasts DOJ for Releasing Letter of Alleged Would-Be Trump Assassin Ryan Wesley Routh: ‘Dumbfounded’

By New York Post. Former US Attorney General William Barr panned the Justice Department he once ran for publicly disclosing a chilling letter from the man who allegedly attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump earlier this month.

In a court filing Monday, prosecutors released the disturbing note they claim was authored by suspect Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, as proof of his intention to kill the 45th president.

“I was dumbfounded that the DOJ made public this morning the contents of the letter that, Ryan Routh, left with an acquaintance prior to the attempted assassination of former President Trump,” Barr told Fox News.

Prosecutors claimed to have acquired that note — addressed “To the World” — from an unnamed source who found it in a box they said was delivered to them by Routh prior to the shooting last week.

“The letter calls on people to ‘finish the job’ of killing President Trump, attempts to rouse people in incendiary terms to do so, and offers $150,000 to anyone who succeeds. There was no apparent justification for releasing this information at this stage,” Barr went on.
