The Trump campaign released a very long list of other blame-the-victim examples. Yet, while the left holds Trump entirely responsible for the impact of his rhetoric, it always excuses its own hatemongering. At a White House press briefing this week, Fox News’ Peter Doocy posed this question to Karine Jean-Pierre: “It’s been only two days since somebody allegedly tried to kill Donald Trump again, and you’re here at the podium in the White House briefing room calling him a threat. How many more assassination attempts on Donald Trump until the President and the Vice President, and you, pick a different...

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily that there are currently five known assassination teams in the United States, three of which are foreign and out to kill former President Donald Trump. “Tragic. Avoidable,” Gaetz said when asked for his thoughts on the second assassination attempt against the former president. “I am starting to get the impression that we do not have enough force protection of supporting President Trump that we ought to have, given the threat environment,” he said, noting that he recently met with a senior official in the Department of Homeland Security...

have the solution to what’s coming on November 5th. But President Trump needs to act fast. He must make this high-profile, controversial, headline-grabbing, announcement TODAY! Trump is winning an electoral landslide. We all know that. In every credible and historically accurate poll, Trump is leading in the popular vote nationwide. And winning by an even bigger margin in each battleground state. Which adds up to an electoral landslide. Trump is winning. But will his lead hold up to the vast array of ways Democrats cheat? They have rigged this election 1000 ways to Sunday. It’s past time for any semblance...

In July, Democratic activists launched a “White Dudes For Harris” campaign to drum up support for the Harris-Walz ticket. The activists held a virtual Zoom call featuring Walz, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and low-T Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Also on the call were “celebrities” like singers Josh Groban and Lance Bass, and actors Mark Hamill and Bradley Whitford. During remarks, Whitford gushed, “What a variety of whiteness we have here. It’s like a rainbow of beige,” which appears to be the genesis of the name “Beige Rainbow PAC.” On Thursday, the group released its first ad under the Beige...

Surge in Unauthorized Border Crossings Highlights Challenges in U.S. Immigration Management Over 2.75 million foreign nationals have entered the U.S. without authorization in the current fiscal year, according to recent data released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This figure encompasses encounters and apprehensions across all U.S. borders, both at ports of entry and in areas between these official crossings, totaling 2,756,646 following the publication of August’s figures. The government’s fiscal calendar starts on October 1st and ends on September 30th each year. With additional figures factored in, the magnitude of unauthorized border crossings is even more pronounced. In...

Earlier this month, four Venezuelan members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang who were arrested in Colorado were confirmed as illegal aliens, according to a statement made by an ICE spokesperson to Fox News. The Venezuelan nationals were in the age ranges of 19 through 24, and they all crossed the southern border via Texas illegally in 2022 and 2023, under the Biden regime’s watch. Aurora police arrested all four of them and ice placed detainer requests on two of the Venezuela nationals. The four Venezuelan nationals were arrested following a shooting which took place close to Nome Street...

The pledge comes one week after he visited New York City for the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced that, as president, he would make Ground Zero in New York a national monument. "I am announcing tonight that as President, I will officially make the Ground Zero site at the World Trade Center a national monument protected and maintained by the United States government, so that hallowed ground and the memory of those who perish there will be preserved for all time, preserved forever," he said at a rally in Uniondale,...

During the presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, debate moderators curiously failed to include a question about efforts to “reform” the Supreme Court. The Biden administration is proposing radical changes to the Court, which include ending life tenure for justices and giving Congress the power to oversee the Court’s ethics. Others are calling to expand the size of the Court by adding more seats. Those proposals would destroy judicial independence and the rule of law. They’re a threat to Americans’ civil liberties. “Court packing would not simply alter the structure of the Supreme Court—it would...

Ask any budget expert in Washington to explain the ballooning deficit and debt, and Social Security and Medicare will be high on the list of causes. That’s wrong. The real driver, the elephant in the room, is means-tested social-welfare spending—Medicaid, food stamps, refundable tax credits, Supplemental Security Income, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, federal housing subsidies and almost 100 other programs whose eligibility is limited to those below an income threshold. True, Social Security and Medicare are a drain on general revenue and will become big fiscal problems if not reformed. But they aren’t the major source of our current...

Michigan’s Democrat-controlled Senate passed a package of four DIRTY election bills yesterday, referred to as the “State Voting Rights Act.” The bills, now heading to the Democrat-controlled House, have stirred controversy among critics asserting they represent a significant state government takeover of elections and threaten election integrity on a number of fronts, not the least of which is the special treatment afforded to “protected classes” of people. In addition, Senate Bills 401 through 404 shift control of elections from the legislature to the state’s courts and executive branch, giving the secretary of state unprecedented power over local governments. For example,...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a first-of-its-kind “deepfake” law after conservatives created a powerful and hilarious parody video mocking Kamala Harris’s candidacy. In a post on the X platform, Newsom confirmed that he had signed the bill after Elon Musk shared the anti-Kamala video using an altered version of her voice. I just signed a bill to make this illegal in the state of California. You can no longer knowingly distribute an ad or other election communications that contain materially deceptive content — including deepfakes. https://t.co/VU4b8RBf6N — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) September 17, 2024 Politico has all the details: The...

BEIRUT, Sept 17 – Hundreds of members of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, including fighters and medics, were seriously wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they use to communicate exploded, a security source told Reuters. A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the “biggest security breach” the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of war with Israel. A Reuters journalist saw ambulances rushing through the southern suburbs of the capital Beirut amid widespread panic. Residents said explosions were taking place even 30 minutes after the initial blasts. Groups of...

Twice-failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton on Monday evening joined MSNBC’s chief conspiracy theorist and Russian propaganda host Rachel Maddow to discuss the 2024 election. Hillary Clinton immediately launched an attack on President Trump and said he is a danger our country and world just one day after a second assassination attempt against him. “The press needs to create a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is,” Hillary Clinton said. “He is a danger to our country and world,” Clinton said.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has admitted that alleged Trump assassin Ryan Routh was on the FBI’s radar in 2019. In a press conference, Jeffrey Veltri, the FBI Special Agent in charge of the Miami field office that is investigating the attempted assassination against Trump, admitted the FBI received a “tip” on Routh in 2019. Veltri stated, “I can also share with you that Routh was a subject of a previous closed 2019 tip to the FBI where it was alleged he was a felon in possession of a firearm.” “The alleged complainant was interviewed and did not verify providing...

CNN data analyst Harry Enten is ringing an alarm bell for Kamala Harris, suggesting that even though she is leading by a point or two in some national polls, she is in the ‘danger zone’ in the swing states where it matters most. Her numbers may not be enough to get her across the finish line because of our Electoral College system. If Harris somehow pulls out the popular vote in November but loses the election, we will once again be subjected to the left’s white-hot rage against the Electoral College, just like in 2016. FOX News reports: Kamala Harris...

Ryan Wesley Routh, the alleged would-be Trump assassin, set up a sniper’s nest near the former President’s golf course and hid there for nearly 12 hours before the apparent ambush attempt, federal prosecutors said Monday. Routh’s cell phone pinged to the spot on the edge of Trump International West Palm Beach starting from 1:59 a.m. on Sunday, the federal criminal complaint said. His gun barrel was spotted by a Secret Service agent about 1:30 p.m. — while Trump was on the links 300-500 yards away. In the sniper’s nest agents found a digital camera, two bags and a loaded SKS-style...

In recent days, calls for an investigation into ABC’s moderation of last week’s presidential debate have reached a fever pitch, with many questioning the glaring bias displayed during the event. The moderators repeatedly fact-checked Donald Trump while allowing Kamala Harris to peddle unchecked lies and propaganda. Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) revealed on Friday that a Senate investigation into ABC News and Kamala Harris’s campaign is underway. Marshall suspects collusion between ABC and the Harris team, citing Kamala’s unusually prepared responses as evidence that she knew the questions ahead of time. Former Clinton advisor Mark Penn also joined the fray, calling...
