U.S. — Secret Service has reported that former President Donald Trump sustained only minor injuries in an assassination attempt, leaving the number of dead Presidential candidates at one. "We can now confirm there is only one dead Presidential candidate," announced Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham. "Praise the Lord that former President Trump is alright." The nation breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that there was still one remaining Presidential candidate with a pulse. "I'm just so glad one of our leaders is still alive," said local woman Allison Thompson. "It would be such a tragedy to have lost both...

With reports of Trump’s attempted assassination today at a rally in Pennsylvania, less than a week after Joe Biden told his elite donors that he needed to “put Trump in the crosshairs” the possibility exists that Biden is also signaling to the Secret Service and bodyguards around Trump that they should assist in the murder. Reports are coming out that the shooter was in easy view of Trump from the roof of a nearby structure. This is a location that the Secret Service would have investigated and controlled access to prior to the event, again making it suspicious that this...

An eyewitness at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania claims he saw a man with a rifle on a rooftop. He said he warned authorities but was ignored. "We couldn't see [Trump], but we could hear him. So we walked up probably five to seven minutes from Trump speaking—I'm estimating here, I've no idea. But we noticed the guy crawling, bear-crawling up the roof of the building beside us, fifty feet away from us. So we're standing there, you know, we're pointing, we're pointing at that guy crawling up the roof." "He had a gun, right?" a BBC reporter asked him....

While most politicians were quick to put out statements decrying the violence at Saturday’s rally where former president Donald Trump was shot, some Republicans, including potential Donald Trump vice presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance and far-right Trump-supporting firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, called out Democratic rhetoric in the aftermath. “Today is not just some isolated incident,” Vance wrote on X. “The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.” “Democrats wanted this to happen,” Greene posted on...

Patients with lupus have an imbalance in a crucial chemical pathway in their bodies, according to a Nature study published on Wednesday.Researchers found that this imbalance produces more disease-causing cells that promote lupus. If this chemical imbalance can be corrected, they believe lupus can be reversed.Current lupus treatments often target symptoms or broadly suppress the immune system, leading to side effects. The researchers believe targeting the specific chemical imbalance identified could more effectively treat lupus without systemic immunosuppression interventions.Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack its own tissues and organs, including the joints, skin, kidneys,...

Thank God President Trump is OK. Sadly, at least one attendee at the rally was killed and another was hurt. Prayers for them. We don't know anything about the shooter yet but almost certainly it was a person of the political Left. The media won't be able to ignore that as they can't ignore this event. Suppose this person was a member of or had association with say, Antifa or BLM? What if it turns out this person voted for Biden or Bernie Sanders and donated to the Democratic party? How will the media cover this? They won't be able...

How do I know that the reports over Democrat despair are credible? This one comes from Politico, but the New York Times has covered it wall-to-wall for the past two weeks as well. This isn't just conservative schadenfreude, but a real phenomenon unfolding on and being reported by the Left.Before we get to Politico's more explicit report, we can certainly extrapolate establishment Democrat despair from this NYT report about Joe Biden's appearance in Michigan. He drew a crowd, but not any other high-ranking Democrat officeholder:Conspicuously absent, however, were many of Michigan’s highest-profile Democrats, including Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, whose popularity in...

The Israelis wanted to bring the co-author of the October 7 massacres to justice. They'd be just as happy if they brought justice to him instead. An IDF strike on a compound in southern Gaza targeted Mohammad Deif, the top commander of Hamas' 'military,' as well as one of his top deputies. Apparently, hot intel put both of them above ground, and the IDF wasted no time in taking action:Mohammad Deif, the leader of the Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, was targeted in an airstrike in the Khan Yunis area of southern Gaza, Israel's Army Radio reported on Saturday.A...

Witnesses desperately tried to warn police that a rifle-toting sniper was crawling on a roof moments before gunfire erupted at the Trump rally Saturday. “You could clearly see him with a rifle,” the man, wearing a MAGA 2020 hat, told BBC News. “We’re pointing at him.
