Breaking: Burgham/Vance/Rubio/Youngkin are ALL in Milwaukee and we are hearing that all are still awaiting President Trump’s tap on the shoulder. Apprentice vibes anyone?

Springing, a city in southwestern Ohio, is facing an unprecedented number of newly arrived illegal aliens, most from Haiti, who have strained local resources, Fox News reported on Saturday. Springfield Mayor Rob Rue blamed the Biden administration’s lax immigration policies in an interview on Fox News’s Fox and Friends First. “This border crisis, the policy of this administration, is failing cities like ours and taxing us beyond our limit,” Rue said. “This has overwhelmed safety services and caused great concern for our community.” City Manager Bryan Heck echoed Rue’s concerns, highlighting that Springfield’s infrastructure and services cannot support the new...

CINCINNATI (WXIX) - Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine approved security over the weekend for U.S. Senator and Republican vice presidential contender J.D. Vance, who lives in the Cincinnati area, after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. “Our office does not comment on security details, but I can confirm Governor DeWine approved assistance at 6:40 p.m. Saturday,” said Dan Tierney, a spokesman for the governor. Cincinnati police were on scene at Vance’s home on Monday morning.

Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case against Trump, ruling that the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith was unlawful and violated the Constitution. “The Superseding Indictment is DISMISSED because Special Counsel Smith’s appointment violates the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution.” The judge also ruled that Congress was required to appoint “constitutional officers” and the legislature was also needed to approve spending for such cases.

A woman who was sitting behind Donald Trump when he survived an assassination attempt has sparked suspicion over her strange behavior. Footage showing the unidentified woman wearing sunglasses, a white shirt and a black hat pulling out her phone as shots rang out at the Pennsylvania rally on Saturday has gone viral. She did so while everyone else - including Trump - was still down on the ground in fear for their lives. A post on X asking people to 'pay close attention' to the woman has been viewed more than 19 million times. The images have even added fuel...

According to sources, the United States Secret Service plans to beef up Trump's security team with a squad of blind midgets. "I have personally vetted these seeing-impaired persons of limited stature and certify them ready for deployment," Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said in a statement. Republican leadership questioned the effectiveness of these new agents but the agency dismissed their concerns as bigoted. "They asked why they were so short and also why they kept bumping into things, and that's just not acceptable," Direct Cheatle said. "They are as devoted to their duty as they are physically handicapped." "I can...

"United We Stand" is a song written by Tony Hiller and Peter Simons. It was released in 1970 by the Brotherhood of Man. It spent 15 weeks on the charts, peaking at #13.

In reaction to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, leading left-wing political figures in Europe pointed the finger at gun rights in America, with the former head of the UK Labour Party in the European Parliament saying that Republicans “reap what they sow” for defending the Second Amendment. The failed assassination attempt on former president and current frontrunner in the 2024 election Donald Trump at a campaign rally, which claimed the life of an audience member and left two others critically wounded, is already being used for political points scoring to forward the anti-gun agenda of the left in Europe....

Daily Readings from the USCCB“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.” Matthew 10:37–38At first read, this appears to be a difficult teaching of our Lord. But when properly understood, it is clear that it helps us keep our relationships with God and with our family properly ordered in charity and truth. Following this command will never result in a lack of love for...

Before the attempt on Donald Trump’s life, while questions raged about the health of President Joe Biden, officials downplayed the importance of the physical leader. White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters to look at the administration, not the man. “What we are saying,” she said, “is there are results, his record.” As my podcast partner Walter Kirn wrote, we were “being introduced to the idea that the presidency is a diffuse impersonal ‘office,’ and the bucks stops nowhere that is… conventionally identifiable.” But we live in a physical world, and individuals still matter. Official actions betray this more than...

A Catholic priest who gave the benediction at former President Donald Trump’s rally on Saturday reportedly prayed for his safety–and urged Americans at the rally to do so too–just moments before the attempted assassination. Father Jason Charron, a Ukranian Catholic pastor, had given a benediction prior to the former president’s rally on Saturday. As he was trying to leave, a group of 15 to 20 people reportedly called him over to a barricade within the rally asking that he pray. “I said to them: I prayed for him and his safety, but that they have to pray, as well, because...

Kung Fu Panda star Jack Black’s band Tenacious D mocked Donald Trump just one day after the former president was struck by but survived an assassin’s bullet, with a band member shouting “don’t miss Trump next time” during a performance on Sunday. Tenacious D was performing in Sydney, Australia, when the tasteless comment was made from the stage, according to video from Sunday’s concert. It remains unclear which band member made the remark, though some reports identified the speaker as bandmember Kyle Gass. Expressing a wish for the death of a U.S. president is a federal crime.

right. Which is why I shouldn’t be in the Secret Service any more than they should. Kimberly Cheatle, head of the Secret Service, got the publicity she wanted for hiring a bunch of women. Now she’s got a bunch of questions to answer. How did this happen? How did a guy with a rifle access a rooftop that close to his target? Why didn’t agents listen to the attendees who spotted him first? Why was one female agent heard screaming, “What are we doing? Where are we going?” Why haven’t you cleaned out your desk yet? That last question is...

Jack Black's "Tenacious D" bandmate Kyle Gass made a "joke" about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a concert in Sydney on Sunday. Yahoo News reports: "Black is seen presenting his Tenacious D band member Kyle Gass with a birthday cake during their performance at the ICC Sydney Theatre... 'Make a wish,' he urges, with Gass then seen blowing out the candles and says in a hushed tone, 'Don’t miss Trump next time' -- causing the crowd to erupt. While some are heard laughing and clapping, others are less impressed." Jack Black appeared at a Hollywood fundraiser for President...

A friend who supports Biden and hates Trump complained to me this morning that I am being narcissistic by sharing my views publicly on the presidential election, and that I should keep my views to myself.I explained to my friend that part of being a good citizen is participating in the political process. If one believes that one candidate is materially better for the country than another, one should advocate in any way that they can for that candidate. This is not narcissism. It is patriotism. All of us have an obligation to stand up and be counted.

BREAKING: JD Vance spotted leaving Ohio home in a motorcade.

Here's a video excerpt of Brandon delicately caressing a man's arm; he doesn't seem to be speaking. The man between them seems highly entertained. The brief gif is taken from the larger video clip in the X post below.https://x.com/PapiTrumpo/status/1808203401848607109

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump in an order Monday morning over the manner in which special counsel Jack Smith was appointed. “The Superseding Indictment is DISMISSED because Special Counsel Smith’s appointment violates the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution,” wrote Judge Cannon, who was appointed to the bench by the former president.

RealClearPolitics White House and National Political Correspondent Susan Crabtree dropped an important report on the failure of the Secret Service to protect President Donald J. Trump and those around him during last week’s Pennsylvania rally. According to Crabtree, the potential lack of drones and the “DEI” protocols at the Secret Service contributed to the failure, but the biggest reason Trump’s life was put in danger is because rules of engagement prohibit snipers from engaging until the assassin shoots first.
