    SARVER, Pa. — The heartbroken widow of Corey Comperatore, the hero firefighter shot dead by a sniper at a Trump rally, wanted nothing to do with President Biden when he called after the tragedy, she told The Post. “I didn’t talk to Biden,” Helen Comperatore said from her Pennsylvania home on Monday. “I didn’t want to talk to him. My husband was a devout Republican and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.” Corey Comperatore, a beloved volunteer firefighter and married father of two, was at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pa. on Saturday with his family when...

  • Biden to propose national rent hike cap of 5%

    President Joe Biden will propose on Tuesday a nationwide cap on rent hikes of 5% per year, according to The Washington Post, which cites “three people familiar with the matter.” The proposal will rescind unspecified tax breaks to landlords who raise rents by more than 5%, although it would only apply to landlords who own more than 50 rental units. This would cover roughly half of all rental units in the country, according to Post sources. It would not apply to units that haven’t been built yet so as to not discourage construction of new housing, which the Biden administration...

    Catacora announced Monday the discovery of the largest natural gas deposit in the country since 2005. Arce tweeted in Spanish that the country had spent “nearly” $50 million to find “a mega [natural gas] field in the north of La Paz, the third best producing field in the entire country.” The president added that the well contained 1.7 trillion cubic feet “of potential reserves.” SNIP “[W]ith this discovery La Paz enters a totally different dimension, because we will have royalties as a producing department,” he wrote. The new natural gas field will contribute to the country’s existing gas reserves, which...

The likely perpetrator is a Ukrainian refugee from Ternopil, who has been living in Hungary for the last two years.

    BUTLER, Pa. — Law enforcement officers confirmed to ABC News the building where a gunman opened fire at a Pennsylvania rally for former President Donald Trump was the building being used as a staging area for a local police tactical team. Moments before shots rang out, rallygoers noticed 20-year-old Thomas Crooks climbing onto the roof and warned two officers. ABC News learned the building was the same building a local police tactical team was using as a staging area to watch over the crowd at the Butler Farm Show grounds. It is unclear if the team was inside the building,...

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — As authorities sought to piece together the puzzle of glaring security failures in the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, the Secret Service vowed to find out what went wrong at the Trump rally as soon as they figure out who left cocaine in the White House. "One mystery at a time, people," Secret Service spokesperson Jeanine Harper. "We'll get right on that once we finally get to the bottom of this conundrum about who could have possibly left a bag of cocaine in the White House. All in good time." Federal agents reportedly remained stumped...

    The Democratic Party (Democratic in name only) has no candidate. 80% of the country has known it for months or years (the other 20% are too terrified to admit it). If there is no candidate, then there is no positive vision of the future to market. The only thing left is negative campaigning, attacking the opponent, or, as we all know commonly: fearmongering. We’ve had a pretty exciting Summer in terms of politics. Lots of historic things are happening, and certainly both sides of the political spectrum can agree that our country-we as a people-are not having our greatest hours....

    Free speech is an absolute right. Anyone should be able to say any opinion they hold regardless of how distasteful, offensive, scary, obscene, etc... However, you are also responsible for the speech. If were to say, "I hate redheads.", that may be offensive to some but it is my opinion and should be legal. Same thing if I was talking about blacks, jews, muslims, etc.... If I were to say, "I wish all redheads would die."... same scenario. If I were to say, "I wish someone would kill that particular redhead." That MAY still be legal. However, if someone were...

    Senator Vance Blasts President Biden’s “incoherent” Handling Of Israel-hamas War May 12, 2014:... ‘why are Palestinian civilian casualties so high?’ It’s because Hamas started the war and now, they hide behind Palestinian civilians. So if you want to learn the lessons of the last 40 years, the most important thing is we have to defeat Hamas as a viable military organization. You’re never going to defeat the ideology of Hamas, but you can root out those commanders, those final military-trained battalions, and I think you should empower the Israelis to do it.”____ May 29, 2024: Vance used his speech to...

    In a new interview with NBC News anchor Lester Holt on Monday, President Joe Biden defended his language in the lead-up to Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, saying his rival’s rhetoric is the real problem. Some Trump allies have blamed Biden and other Democrats for allegedly fomenting hostility to Trump that they claim contributed to the shooting, including Biden’s telling donors on a private call recently that it is “time to put Trump in a bull's-eye.” Biden said it was a “mistake” to use the word, but dismissed the larger criticism, telling Holt it was merely a...

The progressive news network confirmed the decision to preempt its influential and top-rated morning show after a CNN inquiry Sunday evening. The network said the show will resume airing Tuesday. The decision by MSNBC to leave one of its most recognizable programs on the sidelines amid a seismic politics-driven news cycle, with the Republican National Convention getting underway in the wake of the Saturday shooting at...

    Declassified Live ^ | 7/15/24 | Julie Kelley
    Jack Smith should be writing a thank you note to U.S. District Court Judge Aileen M. Cannon right about now. By dismissing the so-called classified documents case against Donald Trump and his two co-defendants, Cannon just spared the special counsel and his team months of continued humiliation in her Florida courtroom and, eventually, in front of the nation. In a 93-page order issued on Monday, Cannon, in her typically cautious and detailed manner, explained why Smith’s appointment violated the Constitution; Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith in November 2022 to take over the Department of Justice’s existing investigations into Trump’s...

    "Some people are a bigger problem dead, than they are when they're alive." sings a Puerto Rican singer in one of his songs. You kill the wrong person (i.e. The Archduke Ferdinand) and you can start trouble you never imagined and which will engulf you and probably EVERYONE you know. Folks need to calm down and take that to heart. What we ALL need is mouth control. What help would be the arrest of the primary offenders who stirred this all up recently and over several years: Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer, AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Woopie Goldberg, Joy Behar,...

    The agency has sacrificed its basic mission on the altar of DEI.It was a shot heard around the world. On Saturday, a gunman whom the FBI has identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks fired a burst of rifle shots at former president Donald Trump, grazing his ear and nearly killing him. The attempted assassination is an historic, and perilous, moment. We’ll get commentaries and investigations, and the government will announce reforms. But amid all the chaos weaves the thread of another story, one that reveals a mounting problem in our political life. A surprising number of the Secret Service agents protecting...
