/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.

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.”
