Why Does the FBI Keep Lying About the Attempted Assassination of Trump?

/0 Comments/in , /by

If you lie to Congress under oath, you go to jail. The rules are simple, and they certainly apply to conservatives. Steve Bannon is currently serving a prison sentence for contempt of Congress because he refused to testify in a politically motivated inquiry centered on the events of January 6, 2021. However, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Director Paul Abbate have both blatantly lied to Congress about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Neither of these men hesitated to lie; neither do they expect to face consequences for their flagrant disregard for the truth.

The FBI is a dangerous rogue agency that regularly acts with political malice to harm the opponents of the Democratic Party. The agency now appears to be involved in a coordinated misinformation campaign surrounding the shooting of a former president, and it does not expect anyone to hold it accountable.

When the iconic photo of a bloodied Trump pumping his fist after a failed assassination attempt first appeared, progressives reacted by immediately spinning out several conspiracy theories. The heroic image of the former president simply could not exist alongside the left’s conception of Trump as a cowardly con man stoking the resentment of white Americans to make a few dollars.

At first, the hysterical social media mob concocted an elaborate narrative about the Great Orange Hitler paying a skilled sharpshooter to graze his ear, creating a bloody but nonlethal spectacle that would become the new Reichstag fire to usher in an authoritarian regime. This fiction proved too absurd even for rabid and delusional Trump-haters, so a new theory emerged: It was broken glass, not a bullet, that ultimately struck the real estate tycoon.

Police: Woman Accused of Threatening Trump Arrested Near White House With Unlicensed Firearm

/2 Comments/in , /by

A woman from San Antonio, Texas, was arrested Friday in Washington, DC, for allegedly threatening former President Donald Trump, the news coming after a gunman tried to assassinate him during his rally on July 13.

According to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), the agency received information about the suspect, identified as Christina Montoya, who had apparently traveled to the nation’s capital, where police found an unlicensed firearm and a magazine on her, KENS 5 reported on Friday. However, Trump was reportedly in the Hamptons to meet with donors the day of the woman’s arrest.

The type of threats she allegedly made against Trump were unclear, the outlet said, adding, “It’s also unknown the timeline of when she allegedly made them in the context of her Friday arrest, but the police report lists an ‘offense start date’ of July 20, 2024.”

“According to a police report, MPD arrested Montoya less than a mile from Capitol Hill and about three miles from the White House. She had the gun and a magazine on her at the time, authorities say,” the KENS 5 article stated.

Following the failed assassination attempt during his outdoor rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump credited God for his survival while speaking at another rally in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday, according to Breitbart News.

If Elected, Kamala Harris Would Be the Most Anti-Gun President in U.S. History

/5 Comments/in , /by

Joe Biden is the most activist president ever on gun control, putting thousands of gun dealers out of business by the middle of last year for trivial paperwork mistakes. He used government regulations to “debank” gunmakers and dealers, and those that survived faced higher costs. The Biden administration has also put together a national gun registry. But a President Kamala Harris would be even worse for gun ownership.

During the 2020 presidential campaign, Harris ran to the left of Biden on gun control. While both supported an assault weapons ban, Harris wanted to force gun owners to sell to the government any firearms that she deemed undesirable. Harris went further than Biden in vowing to use executive orders if Congress did not pass the ban. The national gun registry makes this mandatory gun confiscation more doable.

Harris pushed for gun control this week in her first campaign speech as the presumptive Democratic nominee. And she has a long history of pushing for gun control. In early 2008, Harris argued for the constitutionality of gun bans in an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court. She claimed there is no individual right to self-defense.

Harris is the Biden administration’s “gun control czar,” overseeing the administration’s gun control initiatives through the White House’s new Office of Gun Violence Prevention (OGVP), which coordinates the administration’s gun control efforts. The administration has also just put out a report failing to recognize any benefits from people owning guns.

The office is credited with helping to implement the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which introduces long and extremely complicated rules that will result in many gun owners being defined as firearms dealers. As I’ve previously pointed out, if you sell a friend a gun once and discuss the sale of a second gun, you must be a licensed dealer. Similarly, if you sell one gun and keep any record of what you bought and sold it for, you must also be a licensed dealer. Other rules are vague and give the government discretion to classify you as a dealer when it sees fit.

Popular Comedian Says Trump is ‘Incredibly Enticing’ as ‘Democrats Have Utterly Failed to Inspire’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Comedian Andrew Schulz said on a Friday podcast that he finds former President Donald Trump’s anti-establishment message alluring, while Democrat’s messaging has been uninspiring.

Trust in institutions, such as television news and Congress, remains at historic lows, according to a Gallup poll in July. Schulz on “The Brilliant Idiots” said Vice President Kamala Harris will struggle to defeat Trump because voters resonate with Trump’s messaging about fighting the establishment.

“He’s very enticing, he’s incredibly enticing and I think that he’s enticing because I think the Democrats have utterly failed to inspire us in any way, shape, or form,” Schulz said. “And that burden is now on Kamala … who is someone who is not the nominee because of the democratic process … She has a huge burden to inspire and I think it’s nice to see somebody that is bucking the system especially when you feel the systems, you feel have left you down.” (Read more from “Popular Comedian Says Trump is ‘Incredibly Enticing’ as ‘Democrats Have Utterly Failed to Inspire’” HERE)

Donald Trump’s Gag Order Appeal Rejected in New York ‘Hush Money’ Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

A New York appeals court on Thursday denied Donald Trump’s bid to end a gag order in his hush money criminal case, rejecting the Republican’s argument that his May conviction “constitutes a change in circumstances” that warrants lifting the restrictions.

A five-judge panel in the state’s mid-level appellate court ruled that the trial judge, Juan M. Merchan, was correct in extending parts of the gag order until Trump is sentenced, writing that “the fair administration of justice necessarily includes sentencing.”

Merchan imposed the gag order in March, a few weeks before the trial started, after prosecutors raised concerns about Trump’s habit of attacking people involved in his cases. (Read more from “Donald Trump’s Gag Order Appeal Rejected in New York ‘Hush Money’ Case” HERE)

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah is stepping down as co-chair of the upcoming National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention in Chicago, she announced in a Tuesday tweet.

The NABJ24 convention will host Trump for a moderated Q&A session hosted by Fox News’ Harris Faulkner, ABC News’ Rachel Scott and Semafor’s Kadia Goba, according to a report.

“To the journalists interviewing Trump, I wish them the best of luck,” she wrote on Twitter. “For everyone else, I’m looking forward to meeting and reconnecting with all of you in the Windy City.”

She also noted that she was not involved in the decision making process that led to the Trump Q&A.

“While my decision was influenced by a variety of factors, I was not involved or consulted with in any way with the decision to platform Trump in such a format,” she wrote.

MUST WATCH: Listen to Crowd Gasp as Trump Blasts ‘Fake News’ Reporter: ‘Very Rude’

/8 Comments/in , , /by

By ABC 3340. Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday engaged in a fiery exchange with a reporter while taking questions at an event hosted by the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ).

The group announced Tuesday Trump would participate in a Q&A session with several of its journalists. In its announcement, the NABJ acknowledged Vice President Kamala Harris “was also invited to participate in this year’s convention; her confirmation is pending.”

This acknowledgement, however, did little to quell apparent outrage among members and anti-Trump onlookers. Acknowledging Trump’s invite, Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah announced via X she would step down as co-chair for the group’s 2024 convention in Chicago.

At the event, ABC News reporter Rachel Scott opened by “addressing the elephant in the room” and asked why Black voters should support Trump. She bolstered the question by accusing him of frequently using racist rhetoric while addressing politicians and journalists of color.

“First of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner,” Trump said to laughter and murmurs from the crowd. “You don’t even say ‘hello, how are you?’ Are you with ABC because I think they’re a fake news network, a terrible network.”

‘Disgraceful’: Listen to Crowd Gasp as Trump Scolds Reporter for ‘Hostile’ Attack

By WND. A crowd at the conference for the National Association of Black Journalists on Wednesday gasped, and there even were cheers, when President Donald Trump scolded a rude reporter who attacked him with list of loaded statements. . .

Why should, ABC’s Rachel Scott demanded, blacks trust Trump after he allegedly made “false” claims about rivals, used negative descriptors for liberal prosecutors and said black journalists were asking stupid and racist questions.

Trump, who sat listening quietly during the attack, responded: “Well, first of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question so … in such a horrible manner.”

There was a collective gasp, interspersed with guffaws and laughter, from the crowd.

He continued, “You don’t even say, ‘Hello. How are you?’ Are you with ABC? Because I think they are a fake news network. A terrible network.” (Read more from “‘Disgraceful’: Listen to Crowd Gasp as Trump Scolds Reporter for ‘Hostile’ Attack” HERE)

Top JFK Assassination Researcher: ‘Something is Fishy,’ Secret Service Covering Up Info on Trump Attack

/2 Comments/in , /by

Investigative journalist Gerald Posner — whose deeply researched studies of the murders of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. made him a preeminent authority on political assassinations — says he can understand why so many people think there’s “something fishy” about the official story of the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

Noting the belated admission by the Secret Service that Trump’s security team was denied requested resources before the July 13 assassination attempt, Posner asks, “Did they refuse to give Trump extra security for a two-year period?” They were almost creating a situation in which somebody could take a shot. Now I’m not saying that’s the case, but I understand why that speculation would be there.”

Posner lays out his analysis of the events in Butler, Pennsylvania, that left one man dead, seriously injured two others and wounded former President Trump in the most recent episode of the Drill Down podcast with Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers.

Posner has been following the hearings into the Secret Service’s failure, and he has many questions. “We knew there have been screw-ups before, but they can’t keep it silent anymore because people who attend the rally take out their cell phones and start recording what happened. Everybody could see — ‘Hey, there he is! There’s that guy! Look at that guy on the roof! Hey, officers!’ — So, we know more than they are telling us. No wonder we think something is fishy here.”

Before the event, the shooter “was walking around with a range finder and apparently a large backpack and they were tracking him. And then the Secret Service was made aware, they’re saying they now knew 30 minutes in advance,” Posner says. “Why did they allow Trump to take that stage?” (Read more from “Top JFK Assassination Researcher: ‘Something is Fishy,’ Secret Service Covering Up Info on Trump Attack” HERE)

Trump Says Harris ‘Became a Black Person’ for Political Purposes During Animated Chicago Black Journalists Event

/4 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump told a black journalist conference Wednesday that he “didn’t know” Vice President Kamala Harris was “black” until recently — before trashing her as “fake, fake, fake” later at a rally in Pennsylvania.

The stunning remark about Harris’ racial identity came as Trump, 78, sought to woo minority voters by addressing the Windy City convention of the National Association for Black Journalists.

“I’ve known her a long time indirectly — not directly very much — and she was always of Indian heritage and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was black — until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black,” Trump said.

“And now she wants to be known as black, so I don’t know — is she Indian or is she black? But you know what? I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t.”

Trump added: “She was Indian all of the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn, and she went, she became a black person and I think somebody should look into that.” (Read more from “Trump Says Harris ‘Became a Black Person’ for Political Purposes During Animated Chicago Black Journalists Event” HERE)

WATCH: Video Shows Attempted-Trump Assassin on Roof Before Shooting

/1 Comment/in , /by

A new video appears to show Thomas Crooks moving across a roof in plain sight minutes before attempting to shoot Donald Trump.

In the video, taken by James Copenhaver, who was injured in the shooting, a figure is seen moving across the roof of the American Glass Research building moments before gunfire rang out in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The video was taken at 6.08pm on July 13, three minutes before Crooks, 20, opened fire, narrowly missing the former president.

One bullet grazed Trump’s ear, while Corey Comperatore, a local fire chief and Trump supporter, was killed and two other rally attendees were injured.

The shooting led to a bipartisan outcry over the security failures and last week Kimberly Cheatle resigned as director of the Secret Service after accepting responsibility for the “significant” problems surrounding the shooting.
