Pittsburgh's Action News 4 has learned from multiple sources that Thomas Crooks was spotted at the rally, photographed as suspicious and officers were actively looking for him when he made his way onto the roof and fired at former President Donald Trump. Sources say the Secret Service was aware something was wrong, and the snipers were in position, but the pitch of the roof Crooks was on prevented them from seeing the 20-year-old until he moved to the peak and fired his weapon

MILWAUKEE — President Biden could secure the Democratic nomination for a potential second term as early as this month thanks to electronic voting by delegates, The Post has learned — a move seen by critics as trying to shove him through the process. Electronic delegate voting had been discussed before the embattled 81-year-old president’s disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump on June 27. But details about the timeline are only taking shape now, and the perception among some party stalwarts is that his camp wants to hurry things along — while critics try to slam the brakes on the process...

Andrew Riddaugh joins Alex Jones live to exclusively describe how secret service was denied to President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania for his massive rally.

Need a little convincing about the worthiness of J.D. Vance as President Trump's running mate? Look no further than Sen. Mitt Romney's boiling hate of the guy. So much for civility. So much for Senate congeniality. That's a fellow Republican Senator of his, with whom he's now served in the Upper House for three years and he couldn't manage to muster a courteous word for his entry three years ago, let alone just shut up taking granny's advice that if you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all. What a welcome that was for Vance from...

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday excoriated Democrats over reported plans to introduce legislation reforming the Supreme Court, contending that such a move amounted to an attack on the justice system. Reports emerged the same evening that President Joe Biden is planning to endorse reforms to the court, including the implementation of term limits and a code of ethics. Such an effort comes amid longstanding Democratic frustrations with the conservative leaning bench and in the wake of a string of reports highlighting the justices' ethics disclosures. "The Radical Left Democrats are desperately trying to 'Play the Ref' by calling for...

Like Doug Emhoff before her, another VP pick's spouse has left Biglaw thanks to politics. "Usha has informed us she has decided to leave the firm. Usha has been an excellent lawyer and colleague, and we thank her for her years of work and wish her the best in her future career."— A statement given by a Munger Tolles & Olson spokesperson to Bloomberg Law, concerning the recent departure of litigator Usha Chilukuri Vance, in the wake of her husband Sen.

The agency run by impeached migration czar Alejandro Mayorkas is interfering with the House’s investigation into the attempted murder of President Donald Trump, Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas), told Breitbart News.The shooting was “an epic failure,” Cloud told Breitbart News during an interview at the GOP’s national convention, adding, “It is very concerning that right off the bat, we see DHS [Mayorkas’ Department of Homeland Security] obfuscating as opposed to being transparent. This should be something that, regardless of party, we don’t allow this kind of thing in our country.”The Secret Service agency is part of Mayorkas’s DHS. It is run...

House Republican members on the Oversight Committee said Tuesday the Department of Homeland Security has taken over communications between the committee and the U.S. Secret Service and refuses to confirm a time for a briefing that was supposed to take place today. The interposition by the Department of Homeland Security comes as Congress is seeking answers from the Secret Service about the security failure at Donald Trump's July 13 rally in Pennsylvania where an attempt was made on the former president's life. The USSS had previously agreed to brief the committee Tuesday. "After the Secret Service agreed to brief members...

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS Could someone please help me find a video of the harass and assault of Republicans as they left an inaugural event (was it a party or a ball?) in January 2017?

Just days after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, theories are flying from all directions. Many who ridiculed the “conspiracy theories” of conservatives are now suggesting the whole event was a set-up to boost Trump in the polls ahead of the election. Others suggest it was the “deep state” or even foreign actors who organized it.Former US Navy Seal and founder of Blackwater, Erik Prince, claims that “The fact that [the Secret Service] allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150 yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence.” He went on to observe that, “unaccountable...

A computer simulation shows just how close Trump was to losing his life on Saturday. The computer model shows three bullets taking the exact same path which is unlikely – and Trump shot in the ear twice (only one bullet grazed his ear). Depiction of the first bullet grazing Trump’s ear shows just how close he was to being struck in his skull. WATCH:
