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.

Elon Musk: “Sure Looks Like the FBI Leadership is Engaged in Perjury” with Regard to Trump Assassination

/5 Comments/in , , /by

The FBI is now claiming that the Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks had an unspecified “social media account” in 2019/2020 (when he was 14/15 years old) that posted “anti-immigrant and anti-semitic” content.

This is not consistent with Gab’s understanding of the shooter’s motives based on an Emergency Disclosure Request (“EDR”) we received from the FBI last week for the Gab account “EpicMicrowave” which, based on the content of that EDR, the FBI appeared to think belonged to Thomas Crooks.

We’d like to extend a special thank you to Elon Musk for highlighting this important story.

Many, particularly regime media reporters, have doubted Gab’s claims that this request existed. Normally we don’t confirm the existence or content of law enforcement communications. In this instance we had to make an exception due to the overwhelming public interest in disclosure and transparency.

The story is this: the account for which data was requested was, UNEQUIVOCALLY, pro-Biden and in particular pro-Biden’s immigration policy.

To the best of Gab’s knowledge, as of 2021, Crooks was a pro-lockdown, pro-immigration, left-wing Joe Biden supporter.

We are disclosing this information at significant personal and business risk. If the past is any guide, defying the D.C. consensus by publishing the first definitive evidence that the shooter was a Biden supporter – something Democrats and their media allies have tried to cover up and deny at every turn – has a high probability of resulting in significant political and media backlash.

In the past, we have been the target of politically motivated inquiries from both the House Oversight Committee and the Joint Committee on the January 6th Attacks, both of which sought to interfere with our mission of protecting free speech online. The enemies of freedom have the ability to impose significant present and future legal costs and any donations we receive will help to defray those costs.

Green Day Musician Holds Up Donald Trump Head at Concert Less Than a Month After Assassination Attempt

/5 Comments/in , /by

Rocker Billie Joe Armstrong held up what appeared to be a rubber head of former President Donald Trump and threw it into the crowd during a Green Day concert on Monday — less than a month after the assassination attempt on Trump.

Green Day was appearing at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. as part of the band’s current tour when Billie Joe Armstrong pulled his stunt while performing “Jesus of Suburbia.” The rubber head had the word “Idiot” written on the forehead.

Armstrong held the prop head by the top, as if it were a decapitated head, before hurling it with great fanfare into the audience. The fans cheered their approval.

Historian Who Predicted Almost Every Election Since 1984 Gives Take on Trump-Harris Matchup

/3 Comments/in , /by

The “Keys to the White House” are favoring Vice President Kamala Harris in a hypothetical 2024 matchup against former President Donald Trump, but a final prediction for the 2024 race has yet to be made.

Allan Lichtman, an election forecaster who has correctly predicted nearly every presidential race since 1984, developed a formula that is used to make predictions about an upcoming presidential election — and in most cases, it proves to be right.

Lichtman’s “Keys to the White House” consists of 13 true-or-false questions that he believes establish a strong indication of who will be named the victor on the fall ballot. Each question is asked about the two dueling nominees; if “true,” they are given a “key,” and if “false,” their competitor receives the point. If one party’s candidate receives six or more keys, they are the predicted winner.

At the beginning of the cycle, Democrats were handed one automatic “key” for President Biden’s incumbency — but the ballot has since seen a dramatic shift.

The “keys” are as follows:
party mandate
contest
incumbency
third party
short-term economy
long-term economy
policy change
social unrest
scandal
foreign/military failure
foreign/military success
incumbent charisma
challenger charisma

Celebs Spread Deceptively Edited Video, Falsely Claim Trump Will Outlaw Elections

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Hollywood celebrities are spreading a hoax claiming that former President Donald Trump will outlaw elections if he returns to the White House.

Their specious claim comes from a recent speech during which the GOP presidential nominee encouraged Christians to turn out en masse this November — with important context cut from a 27-second video clip.

“Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore. In four years, you won’t have to vote again,” Trump said Friday to the crowd at Turning Point Action’s Believers’ Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Celebrities twisted Trump’s remarks to claim that he will outright ban elections — when he was saying they needed to contribute to “a landslide that’s too big to rig” so a second Trump administration can reform election laws with voter ID requirements, thus reducing the need for massive turnout to counteract alleged voter fraud. The statement, in context, reads:

I will secure our elections. Our goal will be, as I said, one day voting with paper ballots, proof of citizenship, and a thing called voter ID. (Applause) You know, when you negotiate and I do that with the Democrats and I negotiate with them all the time on this. I say, look, we’re going to fix our laws with voting, we have to start with voter ID. Everybody has to — “No way!” — the discussion never even goes any further.

I say, we have to have voter ID. It’s called voter identification. “No, we’re not going to do it.” Now, there’s only one reason they do that. because they want to cheat. There’s only one reason.

. . .

And again, Christians — get out and vote! Just this time. (Applause) You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore. My beautiful Christians. I love you, Christians. I’m a Christian. I love you. Get out. You’ve got to get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good. You’re not going to have to vote.

China Expert Says Trump is Absolutely Correct About the T-Word

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Well-known China expert Gordon Chang has confirmed President Donald Trump is correct when he suggests tariffs are part of the solution of America’s business dealing with China.

Trump has suggested if elected, he’d pursue tariffs as high as 60% on Chinese goods being dumped on American shores.

“I can’t believe how many people are negative on tariffs that are actually smart people,” Trump said just a few weeks ago. “Economically, they’re phenomenal.”

In a commentary at Gatestone Institute, where he is distinguished senior fellow and advisory board member, Chang pointed out that immediately, “a lot of smart people” have insisted that high tariffs are “horrible.”

“Trump is right. Although these levies would increase costs to American consumers, the costs would not be nearly as great as experts say. Moreover, there are other considerations, both economic and national security, favoring raising tariffs now,” Chang wrote.

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)
