    No longer a Bellarmine employee’ Bellarmine University Professor John James is out of work after appearing to joke about the failed assassination attempt against President Donald Trump. “If you’re gonna shoot, man, don’t miss,” the English professor wrote on Instagram after last Saturday’s shooting that took off part of the president’s ear during a rally in Pennsylvania. The Catholic university in Louisville announced soon after that James would be placed on “unpaid leave,” although the social media post did not name him. “Words and actions that condone violence are unacceptable and contrary to our values, which call for respecting the...

    Roll Call ^ | July 20 | By Mark Schoeff Jr.
    It’s not often a Republican member of the Senate Banking Committee attacks the home of the financial services industry. Sen. JD Vance did so Wednesday night at the Republican National Convention as he accepted his party’s nomination for vice president. “President Trump’s vision is so simple and yet so powerful,” Vance, R-Ohio, said to the GOP delegates and faithful at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. “We’re done, ladies and gentlemen, catering to Wall Street. We’ll commit to the working man.” Vance also placed part of the blame for the rising cost of housing on large financial institutions. “Wall Street barons...

    Anthony Fauci dismissed the gunshot wound Donald Trump sustained during Saturday's assassination attempt, telling CNN viewers: 'he's in the clear.' Fauci made the comments after the former president, 78, wore a large white bandage over the gunshot wound on his ear throughout the Republican National Convention this week. 'I don't think there is much more to it,' Fauci, 83, said of Trump's wounds while talking to CNN host Wolf Blitzer on Friday. 'It was a bullet shot that grazed his ear.'

    At 6:11 on Saturday, July 13 former President Donald Trump narrowly escaped assassination while giving a campaign speech in Butler, Pennsylvania. This near murder of the Republican nominee for president was preceded by a series of questionable decisions made by the Secret Service. No Drones Inasmuch as drones are often used for this type of outdoor political event, Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle was asked why they weren't used this time. Her reply was "we determined that the risk from that rooftop was mitigated by counter-snipers." However, the counter-snipers were on a shorter building and could not see a potential...

    In mapping what the two main counter-sniper positions would have seen as they looked toward Crooks, it became apparent that the counter-snipers closer to Crooks probably were unable to see Crooks because a large tree was in the way.Too clever, Crooks! Or did you have help to have learned those subtleties? Hence, neither of the two northerly counter-snipers likely liquidated Crooks.The southerly countersniper position was able to see Crooks AS HE FIRED, but BECAUSE OF THE SLOPE OF THE ROOF (hmmm!), they probably didn't see him until he fired, as Crooks exposed more than his scope's lens.

    Rachel Maddow and other top MSNBC hosts have been using an LED screen to cover the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee from the liberal network's studio in New York City, according to a report. Maddow, who has been leading the network's coverage of the GOP convention this week, has repeatedly appeared on air with the backdrop of the convention behind her, leading casual viewers to assume she was on the ground in Milwaukee. But Maddow and many of her colleagues, including Nicolle Wallace, Jen Psaki, Joy Reid and other MSNBC anchors have not been inside the convention hall or even...

    "I loathe Joseph Biden. He has been a cancer to our Republic for over half a century. Everything he has ever done has been at the bidding of his party, always putting their power over any devotion to America first. That said, he is still the President of the United States, as gruesome a reality as that may be. In what universe does Nancy Pelosi or any other swamp creature from the Democrat Party cesspool in Washington have the right to decide he must step down as president, simply because he is doing poorly in the polls? Is there not...
  • Blinken: Iran is capable of producing fissile material in just 'one or two weeks'

    Iran is capable of producing fissile material for use in a nuclear weapon within "one or two weeks," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday. News of Iran's capabilities follows the recent election of President Masoud Pezeshkian, who has said his goal is to "get Iran out of its isolation," and who favors reviving the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and global powers. Blinken said that "what we've seen in the last weeks and months is an Iran that's actually moving forward" with its nuclear program. The United States unilaterally withdrew in 2018 from the Iran nuclear deal, which...

    UPDATED 10:05 p.m. Central—The historic sanctuary of First Baptist Church of Dallas, the church led by Pastor Robert Jeffress, caught fire on Friday night. The cause remains unknown, though the fire comes less than one week after an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, of whom Jeffress has long been an impassioned supporter.“Dallas Fire-Rescue is currently battling a two-alarm fire in a building located at 1717 San Jacinto Street,” Chief Robert Borse told The Daily Signal. “The initial call was received at 6:05 p.m., and crews arrived on scene at 6:09 p.m.”“The fire has been knocked down and contained,”...

    American Thinker ^ | 07/19/2024 | Robert Weissberg
    The left is obsessed with falsifying American history. For these radicals, the Founding Fathers did not write the Constitution to form a more perfect union; it was merely a ploy by racist white males to protect slavery. Similarly, those who settled America were not seeking a better life for their families; their aim was genocide against peaceful indigenous people who were careful stewards of the environment. The latest example of this historical falsification recently occurred in New York City, where President Biden, accompanied by Governor Kathy Hochul and rock star Elton John, assembled for the grand opening of the Stonewall...

    It keeps getting worse: Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, reportedly flew a drone over the rally area shortly before he executed his attack. Crooks scaled a rooftop unmolested, despite scores of attendees watching him army crawl on the roof, which was left unprotected by the Secret Service, as he lined up to take shots at Trump. The roof was less than 200 yards from the stage. Donald Trump Jr. responded to this update tweeting, "Just to underscore how crazy this all is, I was once prevented flying...
