Kamala Backers Release Deranged Ad Falsely Claiming Trump Wants to Regulate Sex

/0 Comments/in , /by

Supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris released a bizarre ad falsely claiming that former President Donald Trump and his supporters — “MAGA Republicans” — want to regulate sex.

In June — prior to President Joe Biden’s poor debate performance, the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, and Biden ultimately succumbing to pressure and dropping out of the presidential race — Biden allies banded together to launch a PAC aimed at helping his performance among young voters.

The PAC, called “Won’t PAC Down,” planned to raise $20-$25 million, according to Politico, which reported at the time that it was turning to Hollywood for assistance on messaging, hiring “millennial and Gen Z writers, directors and producers to help craft pro-Biden content that’s specifically engineered to sell an octogenarian candidate to typically disillusioned and hard-to-reach voters under 30.”

Obviously, with Biden dropping out of the race, the PAC has now set its intentions on Vice President Kamala Harris. Last week, the PAC, which at the time of this writing had 15 subscribers on YouTube, released an ad called “Kamala Harris For America,” showing their support for the woman Biden tapped to replace him.

But on Monday, the PAC’s YouTube page released a second video which is garnering attention for being so completely deranged and out-of-touch. The ad is titled, “These Guys Are Just Weird” and showcases what Democrats really think about Trump supporters, offering a bizarre caricature.

Donald Trump Raises $25 Million at Cryptocurrency Conference Fundraiser in Nashville

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign and other affiliated entities raised a staggering $25 million in one night at a cryptocurrency fundraiser in Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday, several sources familiar with the matter confirmed to Breitbart News.

David Bailey, the CEO of BTC Inc. and the conference organizer, confirmed the sum to Breitbart News. Many of the donors are new to the Republican Party or politics altogether, too, Breitbart News is told, and Trump’s energy in this space helped attract substantial investment in his political success. One of the key players who helped organize the fundraiser was Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN), the junior U.S. senator from Tennessee, who, before his election in 2020, served as Trump’s ambassador to Japan during the former president’s first term in the White House. Hagerty, multiple sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News, helped, for weeks, in the lead-up to the event by reaching out to donors and getting them to come and give to the Trump campaign at this event.

Trump, who also spoke at the broader Bitcoin 2024 Conference, held the fundraiser on Saturday afternoon at the Music City Center in Nashville. The broader conference started on Thursday and carried through Saturday. Attendees of the fundraiser on Saturday included, per a source familiar, Sens. Hagerty, Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), as well as businessman and former Trump rival Vivek Ramaswamy. Jake Paul, the boxer and podcaster, was there, as were musicians Kid Rock and Billy Ray Cyrus. The Winklevoss twins, who founded cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, were also present.

This smashing success of a fundraiser nearly doubles another big haul Trump pulled in earlier in the summer in San Francisco at the Pacific Heights residence of tech entrepreneur David Sacks and continues a broader streak of truly breathtaking fundraisers that Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), have held in recent months.

Many of the donors at this Nashville cryptocurrency fundraiser had never before donated to a political campaign. Nearly 100 people paid a whopping $60,000 a pop for the photo line with Trump, too, which was at capacity.

Trump Defends Female Secret Service Agent Who Was Criticized After Assassination Attempt: ‘So Brave’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump praised the female Secret Service agent who “bravely” shielded him during his attempted assassination, saying she “wanted to take a bullet,” after critics suggested she was too small to effectively protect the 6-foot-3 former president.

Trump praised the female agent’s actions during the July 13 attempt on his life while speaking at a rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota, on Saturday.

“There was great bravery displayed… Every one of them. There wasn’t one that was slow,” Trump began telling the crowd. “There was a woman to my right shielding me. A beautiful person. She was shielding me with everything she could.”

The former president continued: “She got criticized by the fake news because she wasn’t tall enough. She was criticized and she was so brave.”

“She was shielding me with everything. She wanted to take a bullet,” he added as the crowd erupted into cheers. (Read more from “Trump Defends Female Secret Service Agent Who Was Criticized After Assassination Attempt: ‘So Brave’” HERE)

Trump, Sans Ear Bandage for First Time Since Assassination Attempt, Slams Kamala Harris as a ‘Bum’ in Florida Speech

/5 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump, appearing at a public event without an ear bandage for the first since he was shot in an assassination attempt, blasted Kamala Harris as a “bum” in a scathing Florida speech Friday.

The former president, 78, tore into the 59-year-old vice president while speaking at a summit hosted by the conservative Christian organization Turning Point Action in West Palm Beach.

“She was a bum 3 weeks ago, she was a bum. A failed VP, in a failed administration, with millions of people crossing and she was the Border Czar,” Trump told the crowd of his likely Democratic opponent in the 2024 presidential race.

The former president also declared Harris — who has secured the requisite amount of delegate support to be named the Democratic nominee — “worse than Joe Biden and in a true sense much more liberal.” . . .

“And by the way, there are numerous ways of saying her name. They were explaining to me, ‘You can say Comma-la, you can say Kah-mala,’” Trump claimed. He consistently uses the latter, which is incorrect. (Read more from “Trump, Sans Ear Bandage for First Time Since Assassination Attempt, Slams Kamala Harris as a ‘Bum’ in Florida Speech” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump announced Friday that he would hold another rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in a post on Truth Social.

Trump revealed the return to the site of the July 13 assassination attempt that injured his right ear when a gunman fired at him from a rooftop in the post on Truth Social early Friday evening. The former president said he intended to honor former volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore, who was killed in the attack, and two other attendees at the rally who were wounded.

“I WILL BE GOING BACK TO BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA, FOR A BIG AND BEAUTIFUL RALLY, HONORING THE SOUL OF OUR BELOVED FIREFIGHTING HERO, COREY, AND THOSE BRAVE PATRIOTS INJURED TWO WEEKS AGO. WHAT A DAY IT WILL BE — FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS,” Trump posted in all caps on the site.

Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle resigned Tuesday following disastrous testimony before the House Oversight Committee. (Read more from “Trump Announces Return to Butler for New Rally After Assassination Attempt” HERE)

FBI Says Trump Was Indeed Struck by Bullet During Assassination Attempt

/1 Comment/in , /by

Nearly two weeks after Donald Trump’s near assassination, the FBI confirmed Friday that it was indeed a bullet that struck the former president’s ear, moving to clear up conflicting accounts about what caused the former president’s injuries after a gunman opened fire at a Pennsylvania rally.

“What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle,” the agency said in a statement.

The one-sentence statement from the FBI marked the most definitive law enforcement account of Trump’s injuries and followed ambiguous comments earlier in the week from Director Christopher Wray that appeared to cast doubt on whether Trump had actually been hit by a bullet.

Trump Rages at ‘Gavin Newscum’ for Ordering Homeless Encampments Cleared Following Supreme Court Decision

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Former President Donald Trump raged at California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) on Thursday after news broke that the Democrat issued an executive order for state agencies to begin clearing homeless encampments across his state.

Trump shared a local news clip on the order and captioned it by writing, “Why didn’t Gavin Newscum do this a long time ago? He’s only doing it because, just like Crooked Joe Biden, his Radical Left Democrat Presidential Candidate, Lyin’ Kamala Harris, is losing BIG in the Polls. They just did it for Political Reasons, because she comes from California, and looks terrible. Right after the Election, it will go back to SLUM LIKE condition, unless we WIN — THEN, AMERICA WILL BE GREAT AGAIN!”

. . .

Newsom has long been accused of allowing California’s homelessness problem to grow into a crisis that has caused alarm in major cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Newsom released a video clip saying he doesn’t “believe there is anything more urgent or frustrating than addressing the issue of homeless encampments.” (Read more from “Trump Rages at ‘Gavin Newscum’ for Ordering Homeless Encampments Cleared Following Supreme Court Decision” HERE)

Trump Backs Out of Harris Debate as Team Says Democrats Want to Install Someone ‘Better’

/3 Comments/in , /by

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign team backed out of a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, saying it wouldn’t commit to debate details until the Democratic Party chooses its nominee.

“Given the continued political chaos surrounding Crooked Joe Biden and the Democrat Party, general election debate details cannot be finalized until Democrats formally decide on their nominee,” the former president’s campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, said in a statement on Thursday.

“There is a strong sense by many in the Democrat Party,” Cheung said, highlighting former President Barack Obama specifically, “that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud who cannot beat President Trump, and they are still holding out for someone ‘better.’”

The Trump campaign’s announcement comes two days after the former president said he “absolutely” wanted to debate Harris at some point. At the time, he clarified that while he had previously agreed to debate then-presumed nominee President Joe Biden, he hadn’t agreed to anything debatewise with Harris.

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.
