Law enforcement officials quickly launched an investigation into the Saturday night shooting of Donald Trump as an assassination attempt, offering few details. That did not stop a torrent of unsubstantiated theories from flooding social media and other channels shortly after the event. Some accounts from the left of the political spectrum immediately claimed that the shooting was a “false flag” operation perpetrated by Trump’s own supporters. Some on the far right accused President Biden of ordering a hit on a political rival...... But far-right channels on encrypted platforms were abuzz with a mixture of shock, rage and conspiracy theories. Triumphant...

Does anyone else remember seeing it? I have been searching for video of it, but no luck so far. Any input appreciated.

The Skirmishing Before Washington--Repulse of the Rebels--Retreat upon Poolesville--They Recross the Potomac at Edwards' Ferry--Partial List of Casualties. WASHINGTON, Wednesday, July 13. Skirmishing had been constantly going on, and our troops had acted strictly on the defensive until yesterday evening, when the rebel sharpshooters becoming annoying, it was determined to dislodge them from the front of Fort Stevens. This was effectually accomplished amid the shouts of applause of those who witnessed the action. The rebels retired in hot haste, leaving at the house of F.P. BLAIR, at Silver Springs, a hundred of their wounded, including eleven officers, and their dead...

VIDEOThis explains a lot of what happened in Butler, PA. A DEI Director of the Secret Service. Meet Kimberly Cheatle. She might not be up for the job but she gets to keep it because of DEI. Oh, and anybody hot for DEI is almost guaranteed to be a Trump hater which explains why the Secret Service turned down a request by the Trump campaign for an increase in security.

The FBI has identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old man from western Pennsylvania, as the person who attempted to assassinate former President Trump at a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. Crooks reportedly shot Trump from a rooftop perch some 130 yards away during a rally in the small town, striking the upper part of Trump’s right ear while the former president was speaking to rallygoers ahead of next week’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. One attendee was killed, and two others were injured during the incident, the agency said, and Crooks was shot dead. The victims have not...

If you don't believe in Jesus, God, or Prophecy, I have this to challenge you. This man even speaks that the bullet affected the RIGHT EAR of Donald Trump. Watch and be in awe of our Lord

Journalism, in part, is the work of turning up stones. Sometimes a reporter finds nothing underneath. Other times, he uncovers shock, scandal, or corruption. An entire twentieth-century lore, beginning with The Jungle and culminating in the Watergate reporting, portrays the reporter as a man who stands against the corruption of institutions. But as the Left, which invented muckraking, has consolidated its power over those same institutions, the story has been recast. Now, reporters for prestige publications defend, rather than interrogate, the organs of power. They seek to propagate official narratives and to discredit those who would question them. The establishment’s...

A few Months ago I was asked by a friend, "How do I love someone I don't like, and if I can't love them does it mean I do not love God?" At the time I gave an quick answer, but the next day as I was in my morning quiet time I found myself pondering the question more deeply. Then last night I found myself thinking on it as my anger boiled over the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. So I decided to write a post on this, if for no other reason than to satisfy my own...

Our nation’s survival came within centimeters of a bullet’s path tonight. The same Divine Providence that guided our Founders protected Donald Trump today. If any good comes of tonight’s tragedy, let it be this: I hope our grandchildren see images of it in their history books and remember this as the moment when our nation turned the page on an ugly chapter...

America's political divisions turned violent on Washington's streets during U.S. President Donald Trump's inauguration on Friday, as black-clad anti-establishment activists set fires and clashed with police, while Trump supporters cheered the new chief executive. Hundreds of protesters with varying agendas marched through downtown, and some groups clashed with police, throwing rocks and bottles, which police responded to with tear gas and concussion grenades. A helicopter hovered low overhead. At one flash point, a protester hurled an object through the passenger window of a police van, which sped away in reverse as demonstrators cheered. Earlier, activists wearing masks used chunks of...

How does a gunman, in plain view of some spectators, manage to open fire on a former president at a campaign rally protected by federal and local law enforcement?That is the frightening and unanswered question facing the country — and security officials — after Donald Trump said he suffered a graze wound on his right ear while he was speaking in a field in Butler, Pennsylvania, and left the stage with a bloodied head.Secret Service personnel shot and killed the gunman, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, immediately after he opened fire, the FBI said. A spectator...

Not moments after someone tried to assassinate Donald Trump, the trending topic on X was, disgustingly, “they missed” and “how did they miss.” Just how depraved do you have to be to sink that low? There have been plenty of examples of division in our history, and no, you don’t need to go all the way back to the Civil War to find them — many Americans are still around who personally witnessed the political turmoil and political killings of the 1960s. But today feels so uncivilized, so sad. That someone would decide that they had to kill a former...

World leaders united in equal measures of shock and dismay at Saturday’s attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life in Pennsylvania. The shooting killed one bystander and left two other spectators critically wounded, as Breitbart News reported. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Sunday he was “appalled by the shocking scenes” at the rally. “Political violence in any form has no place in our societies,” the premier said. Newly elected Reform MP Nigel Farage and close friend to Trump said: “Mainstream media have spread a narrative of hatred against my friend Donald Trump.

Gunfire erupted at a Donald Trump rally on Saturday, sparking panic in the crowd and spattering the Republican presidential candidate with blood, before he emerged and defiantly pumped his fist in the air and was ushered to a waiting car. Trump grimaced and grabbed his ear before security hustled him away, his red "Make America Great Again" hat knocked off. The Secret Service and the former president's campaign said Trump was safe following the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, about 30 miles (50 km) north of Pittsburgh. Live video showed blood spattered on Trump's right cheek and ear. Downing Street in...
