A team of police snipers team saw Thomas Crooks scouting their command post three times in the minutes before he climbed on top of it and shot Donald Trump from just inches above their heads, it has emerged. Three police marksmen from Beaver County were using the single-story AGR International building as their watch-post when the would-be assassin chose it as his place to shoot from, CBS reported. And he may have been in place on the roof for up to 30 minutes before he unleashed his volley of shots that killed one man and nearly took the life of...

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith said on Monday that the man who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump guaranteed his victory in the upcoming election. Trump survived the attempt on his life by now-deceased 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks at his Saturday rally in Pennsylvania, with the former president pumping his fist as he departed with blood on his face after a bullet grazed his head. Smith on “The Stephen A. Smith Show” said his opinion is that this incident ensured Trump would win and that his legal cases would be terminated.

In the aftermath of Saturday’s attempted assassination of President Trump, details are continuing to emerge about the security decisions that made the shooting possible. Lori Levi has attended every Trump rally selling merchandise except for 10, and noticed major security lapses in the set up and layout of the Trump rally by event organizers. “I had a terrible feeling. I knew something was wrong. I kept waiting for them to fix the basic security problems, since there was a direct ‘line-of-sight’ to President Trump.” The FBI and federal authorities have assumed total control over local law enforcement to respond to...

Former President Donald Trump is the ninth US president to be a target of an assassination attempt. The last was President Ronald Reagan, who, like Trump, survived an attack by a lone shooter. But that was in 1981 — a decidedly different political moment than today’s highly polarized environment. And that means it’s uncertain that the political benefits Reagan saw after surviving his attempt will come to Trump. On March 30, 1981, Reagan was exiting the Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC, where he had just given a speech before members of the AFL-CIO. As he raised his arm to salute...

Claim: Inflation was at 9% when U.S. President Joe Biden took office in January 2021.FALSE

Jack Black’s band Tenacious D has cancelled its upcoming gig after United Australia Senator Ralph Babet demanded the band be deported from Australia over an "evil" joke band member Kyle Gass made about the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump. Gass made the controversial comment during a concert in Sydney on Sunday night which coincided with his 64th birthday. After a cake was brought out for the musician as Black sang ‘Happy Birthday’, Gass was asked to make a wish when he jokingly replied “Don’t miss Trump next time” to shocked laughter and applause. The rockstar’s comment appeared on...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) took a swipe at an anonymous senior House Democratic figure who allegedly suggested that many within the party have come to terms with the possibility of Donald Trump securing another term in office. In a direct response to the situation, Ocasio-Cortez urged the unnamed Democrat to step down and allow room for “true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism.” She noted, “This kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people. Retire.” TWEET AT LINK...............

The Secret Service had already been under investigation by House Oversight Committee Republicans for several months when a bullet came within inches of killing former President Trump, killed a bystander, and injured at least two others at a rally in Pennsylvania Saturday afternoon. Even though Trump and his family members credited the special agents and a counter sniper assigned to his protective detail with saving his life and possibly many others, recriminations against the Secret Service started almost immediately after the assassination attempt.

Everyone must watch this split-screen video below of the moments leading up to the attack. (split screen from multiple videos)https://x.com/moment_mirthful/status/1813204221098918067 Here is another angle from behind. The Secret Service should have got him out of their immediately. Why would leave him up their for a full minute?The secret service woman in the very back is doing nothing but shielding herself. Absolutely pathetic. https://x.com/JackPosobiec/status/1813186807753810319

Leftists reach voters a new way. Ways to sponsor the news on a local level. Get the facts: Verifying claims made in videos at the Republican National Convention on the economy Local news spewing national lies about the Republican convention. A new way to reach local voters. I have not this before. This is a very left slanting local Maine station.

Speculations on the Late Raid-Retreat of the Enemy-Plundering Everywhere. WASHINGTON, Friday, July 15. Speculations continue to be made as to the number of rebels recently menacing this city, but there are no data by which to determine this question. From conversations with farmers from Montgomery County to-night, it appears that the fields for some miles were filled with the enemy, and that those who made the demonstration on our immediate front were only the advance of their army. The intention was evidently to invade Washington, but the continuous arrival of troops in formidable numbers satisfied them that their design was...

A local law enforcement officer spotted a suspicious man carrying a range-finder "in or just-outside" the venue before former President Donald Trump took the stage at his rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania on Saturday night, according to a law enforcement source. The officer reported the sighting to state police, the source said. He took a photo, and there was a discussion about whether what he was carrying was a pair of binoculars to try and see the rally better.

Why Does The Biden Admin Have ‘100 Percent Confidence’ In Secret Service After Assassination Attempt?For Democrats, every failure is actually a success, which means there is never accountability.No failure, regardless of how monumental or catastrophic, is ever so bad that President Joe Biden and his lieutenants won’t try to spin it into some kind of success. Because no Democrat will ever admit failure, there’s never any accountability when things go unimaginably bad.Witness the spectacle of Biden’s Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday defending U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who is facing a growing chorus of calls to resign,...

Another in a long line of horror tales. One recent horror tale — there are so many — about Muslim murders of Christians in Pakistan should not be overlooked. It is a simple story of an 18-year-old Christian man, Waqas Salamat, who wanted to leave his job at a Muslim-owned factory where he had been receiving slave wages and treated miserably. In response, his Muslim employer, together with his son and several Muslim employees, tortured Salamat to death. More on this horror tale can be found here: “Muslim Employer in Pakistan Tortures Christian Worker to Death,” Morning Star News, June...

Can you guess who the 'Partner for Peace' is financially rewarding and glorifying? It should not be overlooked that several weeks ago, the Palestinian Authority — the “moderate” Palestinian Authority that the Bidenites hope will take control of Gaza — yet again honored the mass killer Abu Jihad, who was responsible for the deaths of 125 Israelis. More on this murderer, upon whom honor after posthumous honor has been lavished by the PA, can be found here: “PA names hall after arch-terrorist Abu Jihad, whom it admires for planning murder of 125,” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, June...

When I found my way to Trump’s rallies in the Summer of 2020, I felt like I had crawled out of a desert searching for signs of life. No one could know my discovery. I had to keep it a secret. If anyone found me out, I would be MAGA. I would be a Trump supporter, and that would be the end of my career and most of my relationships. Despite how often I’d become the target of the fanatical mobs that rule over social media and the Left writ large, I’d knew not to cross the Trump Line. That...

The Democratic National Committee is quietly steaming ahead with plans to technically nominate President Biden weeks before the party's convention next month, Axios has learned. Why it matters: It's the latest effort by Biden's team to stamp out the Democratic rebellion that's been pushing for the president to step aside since his bad performance in the June 27 debate. Once Biden receives votes from a majority of the nearly 4,000 delegates, it will become exceedingly difficult to remove him from atop the Democratic presidential ticket. The DNC's current plan is to train state party chairs next week on how to...

From the little man on the wedding cake to Donald Trump. On Saturday evening, we saw where the left’s overheated rhetoric leads.Leftists have called Trump a traitor, an insurrectionist, a dictator, and much more. Above all, they have repeatedly likened him to the man whose name has become synonymous with evil, Adolf Hitler. Is it any wonder, in light of the way the left has portrayed Trump since 2015, that someone tried to kill him?Trump, however, is by no means the left’s first Hitler, and likely won’t be the last. You probably remember “Bushitler,” but this reprehensible and incendiary tactic...
