Report: Barack Obama to Endorse Kamala ‘Soon’ — ‘Thinks She’s Been Off to a Great Start’

/4 Comments/in , /by

Former President Barack Obama will endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president “soon,” four people familiar with discussions of the matter told NBC News.

The sources contradict a Wednesday report that Obama does not believe Harris can beat former President Donald Trump in the general election and has not endorsed her for that reason.

Obama, however, “fully” supports Harris, will endorse her soon after being “in close touch since she announced her presidential candidacy Sunday,” and offered to counsel Harris on setting up a campaign. “‘He has been in regular contact with her and thinks she’s been off to a great start,’” one of them said,” according to NBC News.

Sources told the outlet:

The people familiar with the discussions didn’t know the precise timing of his endorsement. One of them said Obama didn’t want it to overshadow President Joe Biden’s moment, particularly his Oval Office address to the nation Wednesday night.

Another person familiar with the discussions said Obama and Harris, who is seeking to maintain the momentum her campaign has enjoyed among Democrats since she entered the race, wanted his endorsement to stand as its own moment.

Whistleblower: Secret Service Repeatedly Rejected Offers to Use Drones at Deadly Trump Rally

/2 Comments/in , /by

A whistleblower is alleging that the U.S. Secret Service declined to use drones at the deadly Pennsylvania rally for former president Donald Trump on July 13, even though the technology was repeatedly offered by local law enforcement, Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley said on Thursday.

The Secret Service has fallen under intense scrutiny for failing to prevent a gunman from opening fire and attempting to assassinate Trump at the July 13 rally. Amid a series of reported operational failures, Hawley revealed in a letter to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Thursday that a whistleblower had told him that the Secret Service repeatedly rejected offers from law enforcement in Pennsylvania to utilize drones for security purposes.

“The night before the rally, U.S. Secret Service repeatedly denied offers from a local law enforcement partner to utilize drone technology to secure the rally. This means that the technology was both available to USSS and able to be deployed to secure the site. Secret Service said no,” Hawley wrote in his letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Thursday. “The whistleblower further alleges that after the shooting took place, USSS changed course and asked the local partner to deploy the drone technology to surveil the site in the aftermath of the attack.”

Hawley wrote in the letter that the whistleblower also told him that the drone technology that was allegedly offered to the Secret Service had the capability to “neutralize” potential threats as well as monitor them.

“It is hard to understand why USSS would decline to use drones when they were offered, particularly given the fact USSS permitted the shooter to overfly the rally area with his own drone mere hours before [the] event,” Hawley wrote in the letter. The gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, flew a drone over the rally site hours before the event began to scope out the area.

First “Proof” that Failed Trump Assassin was Radical Biden Supporter

/1 Comment/in , , /by

In a startling revelation that underscores the growing threat of left-wing extremism in America, it has come to light that Thomas Crooks, the individual who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump, allegedly had a Gab account that he used to showcase his support for President Biden.

Andrew Torba:

Approximately 30 minutes ago, Gab learned that Thomas Crooks, the deranged Joe Biden supporter who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump, may have had an account on our platform. We are unable to confirm that the account in question actually belonged to him.

The account was last active on the site in 2021. As far as we are aware, the account did not use the site to send any direct messages. He posted on the site nine (9) times total.

While the account made very few posts on the site, the majority of them were in support of President Biden. A number of posts in particular expressed support for President Biden’s COVID lockdowns, border policies and executive orders.

We have saved the account data pending receipt of a search warrant.

Gab informed the public that an account potentially linked to Thomas Crooks existed on their platform. While they cannot definitively confirm its ownership, the account’s last activity dates back to 2021.

The majority of the posts voiced support for President Joe Biden, endorsing his divisive COVID lockdowns, reckless border policies, and excessive executive orders.

ABC News Correspondent Appears to Claim ‘Government Tried to Kill’ Trump in Viral Clip

/2 Comments/in , , /by

ABC News correspondent Pierre Thomas was top trending on X Wednesday afternoon when he appeared to state during a televised report that “the government tried to kill” former President Donald Trump when discussing the recent assassination attempt at Trump’s Pennsylvania rally.

The statement by Thomas came Wednesday when he was discussing newly obtained body camera footage of the shooting that showed law enforcement making their way to the shooter’s location after he was killed by a sniper.

“Our audience is about to see the frantic seconds in the moments after the government tried to kill former President Trump,” Thomas appeared to have said on ABC News’s Good Morning America. “It’s all caught on police bodycam video.”

Thomas’s discussion of the footage was made the same day FBI Director Christopher Wray testified in Congress, during which he revealed that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the identified Trump shooter, had looked up how far Lee Harvey Oswald was from President John F. Kennedy when he shot and killed him in 1963. Crooks’s internet search was conducted on July 6, the same day Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, was announced.

Trump Received Far More Votes in the 2020 Democratic Primary Than Kamala Harris

/2 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump received considerably more votes in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries as a write-in candidate than Vice President Kamala Harris, who sought the party’s nomination but dropped out before the first primary election, Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show.

Harris on Monday secured enough verbal commitments from Democratic National Convention delegates to secure the presidential nomination for her party, despite never winning a delegate in an election and only getting 844 voters in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, according to FEC records. Former President Donald Trump, despite not running for the Democratic nomination, received 3,793 write-in votes in the party’s 2020 presidential primary.

Though Harris dropped out of the 2020 Democratic primary in December 2019, she still appeared on the Democratic primary ballots in New Hampshire on Feb. 11, 2020, and Arkansas, which held its primary March 3. Harris received zero write-in votes in the California primary on March 3, 2020, despite it being her home state.

Trump received all his Democratic primary write-in votes in the New Hampshire and Pennsylvania elections, according to FEC data.

Republicans have widely criticized the Democratic Party’s swift consolidation around Harris as undemocratic. (Read more from “Trump Received Far More Votes in the 2020 Democratic Primary Than Kamala Harris” HERE)

Stumbling Out of the Gate: Harris Starts Race Down 11 Points, Even Worse Than Biden (VIDEO)

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Democrats’ enjoyment of the Kamala Harris campaign’s “new car smell” may prove short-lived, as a brand new poll shows the vice president trailing former President Trump by a whopping 11 points among likely voters — matching up even worse than President Biden, who trailed by 10.

The Forbes/HarrisX survey was conducted July 19-21 — that’s after the Republican convention but before Biden was forced to withdraw from the race.

“Kamala Harris starts her 2024 battle behind Trump, who is enjoying a strong post-convention bump,” said HarrisX chief pollster Dritan Nesho.

“If the polls don’t start to close and show better traction for her, Biden’s decision to step aside for Harris may be a case of ‘too similar, too late.’ That said, Vice President Harris alleviates concerns among the democratic base and is better able to sway undecided independents and suburban women, showing some promise.”

In an ominous note for the Harris campaign, aside from her worse margin against Trump, in her head-to-head matchup, fewer voters were undecided than they were in a Biden-Trump scenario. Among likely voters, Trump led Biden 49%-39% with 12% undecided. However, versus Harris, Trump led 51%-40%, with 9% undecided.

“Democrats are jumping out of the frying pan into the fire,” Trump campaign senior advisor Jason Miller told Fox News. “They may have gotten rid of one problem with Joe Biden, but they’ve inherited a whole new problem with Kamala Harris.”

Trump Files FEC Complaint Over Transfer of Biden Cash to Harris

/3 Comments/in , /by

The Trump campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Tuesday, accusing Vice President Harris’s campaign of improperly taking over President Biden’s campaign funds when he left the race Monday.

The complaint, reported by The New York Times, came after the Biden campaign account changed its name to “Harris for President” on Monday following the president’s announcement that he would not seek reelection.

“Kamala Harris is seeking to perpetrate a $91.5 million dollar heist of Joe Biden’s leftover campaign cash — a brazen money grab that would constitute the single largest excessive contribution and biggest violation in the history of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended,” Trump campaign counsel David Warrington wrote.

The suit seeks to block Harris’s access to the war chest. While most campaign finance experts believe that Harris has rightful access to the funds, as she was on Biden’s ticket as the vice presidential candidate, it’s unclear what the FEC will finally rule. . .

The complaint demands a criminal investigation of the conduct, claiming that renaming the committee for Harris is a form of fraud. It instead argues that Biden should be forced to refund his contributions instead of transferring them to Harris.

The Entire Trump Assassination Plot is About to Blow Up Thanks to a Mysterious ATF Agent Who Just Went Dark

/2 Comments/in , , /by

There’s a major shroud of mystery and unanswered questions hanging over the Trump assassination attempt, with new bizarre details coming out daily. The latest bombshell involves a mysterious ATF agent who appears to have secretly gotten involved in the case but has suddenly gone dark. Senator Ron Johnson is all over this new twist. If his findings hold water, they could blow the lid off the entire plot to kill President Trump. In short, according to Senator Johnson and his inside sources, a sniper team was the first on the roof, taking pictures of the scene and the dead shooter. Shockingly, they were approached by a man in a suit who they thought was from the Secret Service and were instructed to text those photos to a phone number that turned out to belong to an ATF agent. Now, attempts to contact this mysterious agent have failed because he’s gone completely dark.

Revolver’s own Darren Beattie, the man who blew the lid off January 6th and coined the term “Fedsurrection,” had this to share about the looming bombshell:

Keep in mind that the ATF flies under the radar compared to the FBI and CIA, making it almost the perfect place for a “mop-up man” to operate with very minimal scrutiny. Darren points to a prime suspect in the J6 pipe bomb hoax, which, he says, also heavily implicates the Secret Service. His suspect is Ashan Benedict, a 20+ year ATF veteran now heading dignitary protection at Capitol Police. The details are simply too wild to believe.

Revolver:

We are now in a position to expose the identity of the most senior Capitol Police official in that meeting and the man who reportedly presented congressional officials and staffers with the absurd excuse that the Capitol Police and Secret Service allowed a group of children to walk in front of the bomb so as not to cause panic—a baffling explanation for such a flagrant breach of protocol as to be unbelievable to the point of offense. That Capitol Police official is Ashan Benedict, currently Assistant Chief of Police of the Capitol Police in charge of Protective and Intelligence Operations. Yes, you read that right. A man who would excuse the flagrant violation of security protocol as depicted in the footage of the DNC bomb discovery is the head of Protective Operations at the Capitol Police. This alone should be sufficient to cause a national scandal, but it gets far worse. Ashan Benedict’s conduct and statements in the meeting described above, together with new (yet entirely overlooked) information that has come out as a result of a recent Judicial Watch FOIA request, lead us to believe with a high degree of conviction that Ashan M. Benedict is one of the key cover-up men of the entire January 6 pipe bomb hoax.

A Michigan man suspected of running down an 80-year-old with an ATV in a politically motivated attack has been found dead by apparent suicide, according to reports.

The 22-year-old suspect was found in his home with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound on Monday, after having called police looking to confess, according to WLUC.

“Send someone to pick me up,” the unidentified suspect told cops, who responded to his Quincy home and found him dead. . .

The suspect had accosted the elderly man as he placed pro-Donald Trump signs in his yard, initially ripping them up while speeding by on the ATV.

When the victim tried to put the signs back, the suspect ran him down with the ATV and fled. (Read more from “Suspect, 22, Who Allegedly Ran Over Trump Supporter, 80, With ATV Kills Himself: Report” HERE)

Graphic Video Shows Thomas Crooks Dead Moments After Trump Assassination Attempt, Confirms Secret Service Was Warned

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Shocking new footage shows local cops and a Secret Service agent standing over the dead body of would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks as they appeared to confirm the 20-year sniper was identified as a suspicious person before he opened fire.

The bodycam video, released by Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, shows Crooks’ lifeless body as a pool of blood trails along the roof where he wounded Trump and killed a hero firefighter earlier this month during a Pennsylvania rally.

One man, who appears to be a Secret Service agent, tells a Beaver County Emergency Service Unit officer that Crooks’ body appeared to be the suspicious person who was previously reported to them. . .

The emergency services officer also says a police sniper took photos of Crooks, including of him on a bicycle, according to the footage.

“That’s the sniper that sent the original picture and seen him come from the bike and set the book bag down and then lost sight of him,” the officer tells the apparent Secret Service agent.
