Trump Reportedly Forced to Cancel Events Leading Up to Assassination Attempt Due to Secret Service Shortcomings

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign was forced to cancel several events and rallies leading up to the failed assassination attempt because the Secret Service had failed to properly secure the area, aides told The Washington Post.

In the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Trump, concerns about the Secret Service’s ability to protect the former president have come to light and eventually forced Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle to resign. The Trump campaign previously requested additional precautions but were denied “additional protection” including “more snipers, bomb-sniffing dogs, magnetometers and specialty teams” ahead of the assassination attempt because Secret Service officials said the resources weren’t available, aides told The Washington Post.

The Secret Service has stepped up protection so much since the assassination attempt that Trump aides have said it feels like the former president is in office again, sources told the outlet.

“We live in a military encampment again,” one source told The Washington Post of the increased security at events and Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.

Secret Service agents told the outlet that its manual for protecting former presidents doesn’t take into account his bid for reelection, his “unusually high profile and pace of public events.” (Read more from “Trump Reportedly Forced to Cancel Events Leading Up to Assassination Attempt Due to Secret Service Shortcomings” HERE)

Eerie New Photos of Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks Minutes Before Shooting Raise Questions About Assassination Attempt

/4 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Mail. Eerie new photos of Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks have raised more questions about the failed assassination attempt.

One of the images captures the 20-year-old Crooks perched on a wall in a grassy area on July 13 at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally – just moments before he opened fire.

In the picture, Crooks can be seen holding up his cell phone – as if chatting to someone on a call. Investigators have still not determined what Crooks’ motive was or whether he was indeed acting alone.

The other picture captures the moment Crooks turns to look over his shoulder while sitting in the same position. It was unclear what prompted him to turn, or whether he was talking to someone behind him. . .

The photos have raised questions and sparked theories relating to the attempted assassination. (Read more from “Eerie New Photos of Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks Minutes Before Shooting Raise Questions About Assassination Attempt” HERE)

FBI Fires Back at Claims It Released Crooks’ Body for Cremation Days After Trump Assassination Attempt

By Fox News. The FBI has fired back at claims by a GOP congressman that the agency released the body of Thomas Matthew Crooks for cremation just 10 days after his assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, last month.

The agency says it refutes allegations by Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., who says that when he requested to view Crooks’ body on Aug. 5, nobody on the ground in Butler knew it had been handed back to the suspect’s family on July 23. Higgins said the revelation “caused quite a stir and revealed a disturbing fact.”

Higgins is looking into the deadly July 13 incident as part of a bi-partisan congressional task force and made the claims in a stunning preliminary report which is highly critical of the FBI’s investigation into the matter. Higgins says the releasing of the body, and other claims of bad practice leveled at the FBI, amounts to an “obstruction to any following investigative effort.”

An FBI spokesperson tells Fox News Digital that any suggestion the agency is interfering with congressional efforts to look into the attempted assassination “is inaccurate and unfounded.”

The agency said that Crooks’ body was released to his family after coordination with the coroner’s office as well as state and local law enforcement partners “in keeping with normal procedures.” (Read more from “FBI Fires Back at Claims It Released Crooks’ Body for Cremation Days After Trump Assassination Attempt” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The family of Corey Comperatore, the 50-year-old volunteer fire chief who was killed at a Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania rally, spoke out one month after his death.

While attending Trump’s rally on July 13, Comperatore was fatally shot by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, saving his two daughters in the process by using his body to shield them from gunfire. His wife, Helen Comperatore, and his daughters told ABC News Pittsburg affiliate WTAE on Friday how Corey’s death has changed their lives. Segments of the interview have been aired by both WTAE and ABC 6 Philadelphia.

“He definitely was a hero,” Helen told the reporter. “He saved his wife, he saved his child. And — he was just the best guy. He was just the best.”

“I’m angry. You know, obviously. My husband took a bullet for [Donald Trump],” Corey’s widow told the outlet. “That, unfortunately, was the plan that day.”

“I was the one that my dad threw down,” Allyson said. “As he was throwing me down, he, that was when he was shot. And he ended up falling onto me. And I — I don’t remember hearing any other shots, I don’t remember feeling any other shots, because like in that moment I was, like I was saying before, just trying to take care of him. I turned around, and I was like confused. And I went, ‘Dad?’ And when I turned is whenever he fell down.” . . .

Secret Service Leaves Trump Vulnerable Once Again After Female Agent Abandons Post to Breastfeed: Report

/1 Comment/in , /by

The U.S. Secret Service once again left former President Donald Trump vulnerable to attack after a female agent reportedly abandoned her post to breastfeed her child during a event in Asheville, North Carolina, on Wednesday.

Shortly before Trump’s motorcade was set to arrive in the area, the site agent in charge of overseeing all security for the event took one final sweep of the walking route, according to a report from Susan Crabtree of RealClearPolitics citing “three sources in the Secret Service community.”

During this last-minute security check, the site agent found a female Secret Service agent breastfeeding her child in a room reserved for “important Secret Service official work,” including a possible emergency involving the president, Crabtree said.

Secret Service agents on duty are prohibited from bringing their children to a protective assignment, Crabtree added.

Not only had the female agent apparently violated that restriction, but she was also accompanied by two members of her family who may have been unvetted. (Read more from “Secret Service Leaves Trump Vulnerable Once Again After Female Agent Abandons Post to Breastfeed: Report” HERE)

Trump Would Improve Education for All Kids, While Harris Holds Them Hostage

/0 Comments/in , /by

The difference between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in November could not be clearer when it comes to education.

Trump believes parents are the primary decision-makers for their children and supports the money following the child to the school that best meets their needs and aligns with their family’s values.

In a May Truth Social post, President Trump said, “School Choice is the CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE of our time, and parents must have a voice in their child’s education! When I am your President again, I will protect Parental Rights, support Teachers, and expand Educational Freedom for all American Families!” At a June campaign rally in Philadelphia, President Trump said, “I will support universal school choice. It’s such a big thing.” . . .

When teachers unions fought to keep the public schools closed for so long starting in 2020, parents were able to see what was happening in the classroom through “remote learning” and they were not happy about schools focusing more on far-Left indoctrination than education.

We’ve seen more advancement on school choice in the past three years than in the preceding three decades. Twelve states have passed universal school choice — meaning all families are eligible — since 2021.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday refused to debate former President Donald Trump in a third proposed matchup the former president suggested.

Harris, who refused to answer on August 8 if she accepted Trump’s three debate challenges, has only promised to show up at two events, according to a Harris campaign statement.

Harris agreed to debate Trump September 10 on NBC News and again sometime in October.

Trump offered to debate Harris on September 4 on Fox News, September 10 on NBC News, and September 25 on ABC News.

After Trump debated the then-presumptive Democrat presidential nominee, President Joe Biden, the president dropped out of the race amid an intense pressure campaign from his party.

Actor and Joe Rogan Agree: We Need a Strong Leader Like Trump to Deal With ‘A**hole’ World Leaders

/0 Comments/in , /by

Reagan star and veteran Hollywood actor Dennis Quaid has given his strongest endorsement of former President Donald Trump to date, saying the country needs a strong leader like Trump to deal with hostile enemies abroad.

In an interview Thursday with Joe Rogan, Dennis Quaid gave his assessment of Trump’s first term in the White House.

“The only thing that I liked about Trump was everything that he did,” Quaid said. “I would cringe at so much stuff that he said. But I think his heart was really in the right place, and not only that, we need a really strong leader like that to deal with these assholes that run the other world — there are some bad actors out there.”

“Yeah … yeah … yeah, unquestionably,” Rogan replied, before calling out the mainstream news media for stoking fear that Trump will be a dictator if he returns to office.

“And the wildest thing is that people pretending that if he gets into office, he’s going to become a dictator. As if he wasn’t in office for four years, and was never a dictator. We’re just being gaslit and lied to on a scale that I’ve never seen in my life.”

Former Federal Prosecutor Andrew McCarthy: Trump Will Be Sentenced to Prison Sept. 18

/1 Comment/in , , /by

For years already, Democrats and other leftists in America have orchestrated a multi-level lawfare campaign against President Trump.

Even while he was president they made wild claims that he orchestrated an “insurrection” against the nation even though the events were just a protest that got out of hand, and even though those charges weren’t filed. Nor did they succeed in their two failed attempts to impeach him and remove him from office, even once after he had left office. . .

But now a commentator at Fox News is warning they’re about to ramp up their war against Trump to the nuclear level, ordering him to jail.

It is commentator Andrew McCarthy who is warning that the judge in the business records case, characterized by Trump critics throughout as a “hush money” complaint, already has signaled his intent to impose a jail sentence. . .

Those payments were characterized as legal expenses, since the payments were made through a lawyer. Much like Hillary Clinton characterized as legal expenses her payments during the 2016 race to a legal team which in turn hired someone to make up salacious allegations against Trump in what has become known as the Steele dossier, a series of debunked claims.

Trump Vows to Sign EO ‘Directing’ Cabinet Secs, Agencies to ‘Use Every Tool’ to ‘Defeat Inflation’

/2 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump vowed that if elected president, he would “sign an executive order directing” each cabinet secretary and agency head to “use every tool” they had to defeat inflation.

“On my first day back in the Oval Office, I will sign an executive order directing every cabinet secretary and agency head to use every tool and authority at their disposal to defeat inflation and to bring consumer prices rapidly down,” Trump told the crowd from Asheville, North Carolina.

Trump’s comments come as the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on Wednesday that inflation had risen in July. The consumer price index was reported to have climbed up to 2.9 in July, up from a year ago.

In June, the inflation index rate increased by three percent from a year ago.

‘F***ing Disgusting’: Dana White Rips People Who Wished Trump Was Assassinated

/2 Comments/in , /by

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White said on Wednesday during the “Full Send” podcast that all Americans should be “pissed” about the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

Trump was shot and slightly wounded in the right ear during the assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler Township, Pennsylvania, that left former volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore dead and two other attendees wounded. White said that people need to “take all the hate out” and remember that Trump is “a human being.”

“I don’t know Kamala Harris, I’ve never met her, I’m sure she’s a nice person, she’s not fit to run the country, she’s not, she’s just not, it’s just a fact,” White said. “You don’t have to, you know, you have to take all the hate out and it’s, it’s like when you see the stuff after Trump was almost assassinated, right? The people that were talking s**t, like, uh, you know, hopefully next time that… it’s, it’s disgusting.

[Warning: video contains explicit language:]

“Whether it’s, uh, you know, Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden, Trump, if somebody takes a shot at a sitting or former president of the United States, you, as an American, we’re all Americans, should be f**king pissed and disgusted that somebody tried to assassinate a former sitting president of the United States,” White continued. “As Americans and as human beings, it’s f**king disgusting.” (Read more from “‘F***ing Disgusting’: Dana White Rips People Who Wished Trump Was Assassinated” HERE)
