Former RNC Chair Michael Steele Demands Answers, Says, 'If Trump Was Shot with a High-Caliber Bullet, There Should Be Very Little Ear There,' Asks, 'Where is the Medical Report from the Hospital or Campaign?' Suggests a Cover-Up.

Three more Democratic congressmen called for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the race following his Thursday night press conference, as the president is still struggling to tamp down concerns in his own party about his cognitive state. However, a lingering question for many Democrats is: who could possibly replace Biden as the nominee (especially after they refused to seriously consider this question during presidential primary season)? Even the Biden campaign is asking this question; according to mainstream media reports, it is “quietly testing” the possibility of replacing Biden with Vice President Kamala Harris. Substituting a candidate is a bit...

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! trashed the Republican National Convention on Tuesday when guest host Anthony Anderson called it “The White People’s Choice Awards” — continuing the woke left’s belief that being white is a moral failing. Anthony Anderson also called the RNC the “No Soul Train.” The actor-comedian appears not to have watched the RNC because if he had, he would know the convention has spotlighted numerous non-white speakers. Monday’s speakers included Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, and Goya Foods CEO Bob Unanue.

DCNF)—CNN senior political analyst Mark Preston said on Wednesday that Americans can rest assured that there is not a deep state that could eliminate former President Donald Trump because Washington is too disorganized. Trump survived an assassination attempt by now-deceased 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks at his Saturday rally in Pennsylvania, with some Republicans blaming Democrats’ rhetoric for inciting the incident. “CNN News Central” host Kate Bolduan asserted that Republicans’ use of the word “they” typically refers to Democrats and the media, with Preston suggesting that they might be alluding to the deep state but asserting that such an entity does...

[T]he 20-year-old gunman once mocked him over his support of former President Donald Trump and had a general disdain for mainstream politicians across the political aisle. brought up the fact that I'm Hispanic and, you know, I'm for Trump. And he said, 'Well, you're Hispanic, so shouldn't you hate Trump?'" Vincent Taormina told Fox News Digital Tuesday. "No. He's great. He was a great president. He called me stupid – or insinuated that I was stupid."

Jesse Watters gives his take on reports that counter-snipers were inside the building Thomas Matthew Crooks fired shots from.

CNN recently interviewed Cory Mills, who has worked in military security, and is also a current Republican member of the U.S. Congress from Florida.I don’t know if Mills was deliberately making a reference to the 1994 movie Pulp Fiction, or if this is just a coincidence, but he said that “divine intervention” saved Trump.

Barack Obama is warning supporters that the general election fight between him and John McCain may get ugly, but the Illinois senator is vowing not to back down. “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said at a fundraiser in Philadelphia Friday, according to pool reports. “We don’t have a choice but to win,” Obama said, joking that he has heard “folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles games.”

A U.S. Secret Service official said a Pennsylvania police SWAT team was in another building than the one whose roof was used Saturday by Thomas Crooks to shoot at former President Donald Trump. The new account contradicts a prior claim by Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle that Crooks was on top of the building containing the SWAT team near Trump's campaign rally in Butler. The disclosure follows news that the Secret Service had increased security for Trump after being told of a plot by Iran to kill him. A U.S. Secret Service official on Wednesday said that a local Pennsylvania...

The far-left Lincoln Project, whose cofounder has openly and publicly called for someone to “put a bullet in Donald Trump,” is still looking to get the former president assassinated by comparing him to Adolf Hitler. Three days after an assassin fired off eight rounds at Trump, one nicking his ear, the Lincoln Project released this assassination dog whistle: Hitler's power wasn't taken, it was given. And once he had control he enacted his horrifying, dictatorial agenda. The same dynamic is at play with Trump. pic.twitter.com/PKKzyJFomc — The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) July 16, 2024 Here are the facts… When you tell...

David “Jake” Dutch walked out of the Trump rally on Saturday, in the aftermath of the failed assassination attempt against President Trump, with a T-shirt bunched up to stop the flow of blood received from two gunshot wounds, according to friends. Dutch, a 57-year-old Marine Corps veteran who served in Operation Desert Storm, is in critical condition after being struck twice, once in the stomach and once in the liver. He is one of two people critically injured at the rally. Tragically, former fire chief for Buffalo Township, Corey Comperatore was killed as he shielded and protected his family. Fox...

During a portion of an interview with CNN on Tuesday that was released on Wednesday, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle responded to a question on her earlier statement that local law enforcement was responsible for the building from which an attempted assassin fired at 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump by stating that the Secret Service was “solely responsible for the design and the implementation and the execution of the site” of the rally. CNN Law Enforcement Correspondent Whitney Wild asked, “When you said that local law enforcement was responsible for that building, what did you mean by...

Thomas Matthew Crooks’ parents were looking for him on Saturday in the hours leading up to the Trump rally shooting and eventually called law enforcement to indicate that he was missing and they were worried, Fox News has learned. It’s unclear what his parents told authorities, but the call happened on Saturday before Crooks later opened fire at Trump during the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The parents are being cooperative with authorities and the FBI is still trying to determine a motive for the attack, sources also told Fox News.

As the country continues to reel from the failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, more and more Americans are waking up to the lies they have been told by Democrats that have been amplified by their willing accomplices in the media. A Democrat voter took to social media to share how watching the speakers at the RNC, something she has never done before, caused a seismic shift in her and the beauty of the love for America and the diversity she is seeing, and the reality that she has been lied to about the MAGA movement brought her to...

CRAIG Kilborn’s show is in hot water over an offensive George W. Bush joke last week. On last Friday’s “The Late Late Show,” a graphic reading “Snipers Wanted” appeared briefly over a tape of Bush’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. The joke was part of the satiric “In the News” segment of the late night show. Yesterday, CBS and the show’s producers, David Letterman’s Worldwide Pants, apologized for the graphic

According to law enforcement sources in multiple counties in western Pennsylvania, there were two sniper teams set up near the building where Thomas Crooks fired from Saturday evening. However, in direct contrast to comments made by Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle, there were no local police...
