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.

/2 Comments/in , /by

The father of would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks has revealed the family is just trying to “take care of ourselves” — as he stepped out in public for the first time since the shooting.

Matthew Brian Crooks, 53, made the remarks as he was spotted leaving a grocery store on Monday, Fox News reported.

“We just want to try to take care of ourselves right now. Please, just give us our space,” Crooks said as he loaded bag-loads of items into his car.

“We’re going to release a statement when our legal counsel advises us to do so – until then, we have no comment.”

It marks the first time the dad has spoken out since his 20-year-old son opened fire with an AR-15 rifle during Trump’s campaign rally in Butler, Pa. on July 13. (Read more from “Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ Father Speaks Out for First Time After Son Tried to Assassinate Ex- Prez” HERE)

‘Morning Joe’ Guest Says It is ‘Impossible’ to Believe in Christian Values While Supporting Trump (VIDEO)

/3 Comments/in , /by

The Lincoln Project’s Stuart Stevens said on Tuesday it is “impossible” for supporters of Republican nominee Donald Trump to truly believe in Christian values.

Stevens said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that some evangelical leaders are conflicted with their community’s support for Trump. He questioned whether Christians voting for the Republican nominee truly believe what they claim to.

“I don’t think this is really very complicated. I think sadly it’s exposed at the heart of a lot of these voters the fact that they don’t really believe what they say that they believe,” Stevens said. “It is impossible to say that you believe in Christian values and support a man like Donald Trump. I think that you just can’t reconcile that.”

Secret Service Advises Trump Campaign to Move Indoors Amidst Assassination Attempt Fallout

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the wake of the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, the Secret Service has reportedly advised his campaign to halt outdoor rallies and events, and hold them indoors.

Sources close to the matter, speaking anonymously to the Washington Post, revealed that the Secret Service has directly engaged with Trump campaign advisers, urging them to avoid large outdoor gatherings in light of security vulnerabilities exposed by the July 13 shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania. During that rally, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks fired a shot that narrowly missed Trump, piercing the upper part of his right ear.

The campaign, which traditionally thrives on the energy and spectacle of outdoor rallies, is now considering venues like basketball arenas and other expansive indoor spaces that can accommodate thousands of supporters.

“Indoor rallies provide a level of security because you can control who enters through a limited number of entry points,” explained a campaign official who spoke anonymously to discuss internal planning. “However, they lack the same dynamic and impact of outdoor rallies, where the atmosphere is electrifying.”

Since the attempted assassination, the Secret Service has faced mounting criticism over lapses in security that allowed Crooks to fire from a nearby rooftop undetected. Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle recently faced intense questioning from lawmakers during a hearing before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. Both Democrats and Republicans grilled Cheatle on security perimeter protocols and why suspicious activities were not addressed promptly.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) queried Cheatle on why the security perimeter did not extend beyond the range of an AR-15 rifle. Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) pressed Cheatle on the handling of suspicious persons at the rally and the decision-making process that led to the tragic incident.

Cheatle’s resignation from her position as director followed the contentious hearing, signaling ongoing turmoil within the agency amidst calls for accountability and reforms in security protocols.

Report: Phone Linked to Would-Be Trump Assassin Near FBI Offices in 2023

/4 Comments/in , , /by

Recent revelations from the Heritage Oversight Project have intensified scrutiny surrounding the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump, shedding light on alarming geo-location findings involving the perpetrator, Thomas Matthew Crooks.

According to a report by the Heritage Oversight Project, a phone associated with Crooks visited the Gallery Place building in Washington, D.C., which houses the FBI offices, on June 26th, 2023. The phone reportedly “pinged” multiple times from that location, raising concerns about potential connections or reconnaissance activities prior to the attempted attack.

Crooks, 20, was fatally shot by a Secret Service counter-sniper after opening fire on Trump and attendees at the July 13 event, narrowly missing the former president due to a timely movement. The shooting claimed the life of retired fire chief Corey Comperatore and left two others seriously injured, sparking a nationwide debate on security protocols and the motives behind the attack.

The Oversight Project, a division of the Heritage Foundation, initiated a comprehensive geo-location investigation immediately following the incident, utilizing data from phones associated with Crooks’ home and work addresses. This investigation aimed to track the movements and potential accomplices of the assailant.

Geo-location technology identified several devices linked to Crooks that traveled from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, to strategic locations including Butler and even Logan International Airport in Boston. The report highlighted trips made to surveil the Butler site ahead of the Trump rally, suggesting premeditated planning.

Furthermore, a phone associated with Crooks was reported to have visited the Allegheny Arms & Gun Works, adding to questions about how he accessed firearms and conducted surveillance undetected.

“We began this investigation on the night of the shooting and have been working tirelessly since then,” a spokesperson for the Oversight Project told Blaze News.

The findings underscore significant gaps in security protocols and raise critical questions about how an individual with limited firearms experience could orchestrate such a sophisticated attack. Concerns have also been voiced regarding potential connections between Crooks and individuals or entities that facilitated his actions.
