VIDEOThere has been a lot of buzz over Greg Kelly of Newsmax "finding" video of the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt shooting in Butler, PA which apparently showed a soldier pointing a rifle at President Trump as he was taken by the Secret Service into the limo. Well, I hate to burst anyone's bubble on this but this video was ALREADY presented by Zach De Gregorio of the WolvesAndFinance channel nine days earlier on April 13, 2025. I should know because Your Humble Correspondent posted that video that very same day on the Free Republic. Therefore, I present this video...

VIDEOIt has been nine months since the attempt on Donald Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania. New information has been uncovered that is shocking. I am going to need you to share this video on social media, because most people do not know about this. We have to get the word out. If my information is correct, Donald Trump’s life is in danger. This is Zach's third video in his series covering Butler, PA:

A 32-year-old man from Butler, Pennsylvania, has been arrested and charged by federal authorities after allegedly making multiple online threats to assassinate President Donald J. Trump and other U.S. officials. The suspect, identified as Shawn Monper, was taken into custody by the FBI and Butler Township Police after investigators traced a series of violent messages posted to YouTube under the username “Mr Satan.” According to a criminal complaint filed in federal court, Monper made threats against the former president, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, and various U.S. officials over a span of several months. The case is particularly alarming...

Shawn Monper, 32, of Butler, Pennsylvania, faces federal charges of making threats to assault and murder President Trump, Musk, and others.Less than a week after a horrifying survey found more than half of self-identified leftists believe killing President Donald Trump would be justifiable, a Pennsylvania man has been charged with threatening to murder the president and other U.S. officials. Shawn Monper, 32, of Butler — the same Pennsylvania community where Trump came within a fraction of an inch of being assassinated last July — faces federal charges of making threats to assault and murder Trump, DOGE advisor and Tesla founder...

https://apnews.com/article/trump-painting-obama-portrait-bumped-assassination-attempt-dc23fef7f43354e1411f4747dc3f4e4d By DARLENE SUPERVILLE and WILL WEISSERT Updated 5:02 PM CDT, April 11, 2025 WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Friday hung a painting of President Donald Trump depicting a moment after an assassination attempt against him last summer — bumping the official portrait of one of his predecessors, Barack Obama. Hanging a new presidential likeness without advance notice is unusual, and Trump putting himself in that space could be seen as him breaking with norms yet again. By tradition, portraits of the two most recent former presidents go on display in the foyer — and Trump is in...

In a bombshell interview on The Joe Rogan Experience, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan tore into the suspicious circumstances surrounding the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at his Butler, Pennsylvania rally—a rally that, curiously, was the only Trump event CNN bothered to stream live during the entire campaign. Now, billionaire investor Bill Ackman is demanding answers, calling for an investigation into why the far-left network broke its pattern of ignoring Trump rallies just in time to broadcast an attempt on his life. During the podcast, Rogan and Musk pointed out the troubling anomalies in the Butler...

I highly recommend that you take the time to listen to the Tucker Carlson interview with Sean Davis, six months after the near-assassination of Donald Trump. The entire hour and a half is well worth your time, but at least watch the first 15 minutes. Half a year after Butler, there is still a thick blanket of secrecy surrounding Thomas Matthew Crooks. Who was he? What was his motivation? Was he a lone wolf, part of a group, or did he have help? Davis breaks this question into four options: Option 1: Butler was a “total SNAFU.” An amazing combination...

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) secretly met with Joe Biden at his Delaware beach house and urged him to drop out of the 2024 race shortly before Trump was shot in the ear by would-be assassin Thomas Crooks on July 13. Schumer traveled to Joe Biden’s Rehoboth Beach house on July 13 to bully him into dropping out of the 2024 race. “When Mr. Schumer arrived at Mr. Biden’s beach house that summer day, he could hear the president shouting,” The New York Times reported. According to the New York Times, after meeting with other top Democrats days earlier in the...

‘I refuse to believe this was just a series of unfortunate accidents and incompetence,’ Davis said. ‘It’s just not.’ Federalist CEO Sean Davis dropped some stunning details about the July 13 assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life in a Friday conversation with Tucker Carlson on “The Tucker Carlson Show.” The conversation explored how, six months after the shooting, despite a congressional investigation, little is known — or has been released — about the shooter, and the incident quickly fell out of the news cycle. Davis began the interview by describing three critical things the American people need to know: the...

Federalist CEO Sean Davis blasted the FBI for stonewalling Congress’s investigation into the first assassination attempt against President-elect Donald Trump. The moment came during a Friday interview, in which Davis was asked by conservative commentator Tucker Carlson what information is publicly available about Thomas Crooks, the would-be assassin who tried to kill Trump at a July rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The 20-year-old was killed by law enforcement shortly after the attempt on the incoming president’s life and information about his activities leading up to the shooting has remained scarce.Davis noted despite the near assassination having occurred months ago, Americans “still...

I have the perfect story to show your Trump-deranged relatives on Thanksgiving 😂 From Breitbart: Crypto investors with the project $PATRIOT commissioned Ohio artist Alan Cottrill to create the bronze statue after Trump was nearly assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. Trump's pro-crypto policies also helped motivate backers to support the project, Breitbart News has learned. Cottrill is working to capture Trump's courage and defiance immediately after being shot. In iconic fashion, Trump rose with a bloodied face and pumped his fist as he repeatedly shouted, "Fight!" to his supporters before U.S. Secret Service agents rushed him off...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new Secret Service report into the July assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump said multiple staffers knew about clear line-of-sight risks but found them “acceptable” and that farm equipment intended to obstruct the view from the nearby building where the gunman opened fire was never used. The internal review released Friday is the latest in a list of reports and investigations into the July 13 shooting at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania... The internal review also said that a Secret Service counter-sniper team did not pick up a radio that the local law enforcement...

Donald Trump is on the cusp of an improbable comeback victory in the 2024 presidential election because the American people would not let him fail. The campaign and its staff worked incredibly hard, and from the outside, the 2024 effort seemed to be the most well-organized, and professional, of Trump’s three attempts at the presidency. Yet there were moments when Trump seemed to falter, and when he was lifted up by people who decided, on their own, that they would not let him lose. Take, for example, the song “Fighter,” written by Breitbart News’ own Jon Kahn and recorded in...

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman ripped into the Biden-Harris administration Friday, posting to X (formerly known as Twitter) 33 “catalysts” for his “losing total confidence” in the Democratic Party. Ackman formally endorsed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump hours after the former president survived an assassination attempt at a July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Many of Ackman’s friends and his family were “surprised” by the endorsement, he wrote on X, taking the opportunity to dismiss claims he wanted financial benefits or a role in a potential Trump administration.

A number of my good friends and family have been surprised about my decision to support @realDonaldTrump for president. They have been surprised because my political giving history has been mostly to Democrats, my voting registration has typically been Democrat (in NY, you must be registered to the party in order to vote in the primary, and usually the Republican candidate has no chance to win), and many of our philanthropic initiatives have supported issues that are consistent with Democratic priorities. All of the above said, I have always considered myself to be a centrist and/or moderate, and I have...

A friend who supports Biden and hates Trump complained to me this morning that I am being narcissistic by sharing my views publicly on the presidential election, and that I should keep my views to myself.I explained to my friend that part of being a good citizen is participating in the political process. If one believes that one candidate is materially better for the country than another, one should advocate in any way that they can for that candidate. This is not narcissism. It is patriotism. All of us have an obligation to stand up and be counted.

A fundraiser to throw a “rager” for the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill frat brothers who protected the Stars and Stripes from an anti-Israel mob this week has raised an eye-watering $400,000. And billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman is a fan — donating $10,000 to the cause. The GoFundMe contribution — spotted Wednesday night by an eagle-eyed X user — will help throw the patriotic pack of Pi Kappa Phi members “the party they deserve,” according to a description on the fundraising site.

A college in California became the site of chaos Monday evening when a group of students took over a university building as pro-Palestine protests continue to sweep across the nation's campuses. Protesters set up a shanty town within the California Polytechnic University's Siemens Hall equipped with beds and tents, reports KIEM-TV. The school is located in Arcata in rural northern California, close to the border with Oregon. As the protests gain attention worldwide, billionaire investor Bill Ackman, an outspoken supporter of Israel, tweeted took aim at college leadership.

Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman reacted to former President Donald Trump’s landslide victory in Monday’s Iowa caucuses by warning Democrats that incumbent President Joe Biden is toast. “If you haven’t figured it out already, it is now abundantly clear that @realDonaldTrump is going to crush @POTUS,” the founder and CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management wrote on his X social media account on Tuesday. Ackman, who has become far more vocal in the public sphere since the Oct. 7 Hamas assault on Israel and the subsequent eruption of antisemitism on college campuses, repeated his call for the 81-year-old Biden to...

Activist billionaire Bill Ackman says President Biden is too old to run for re-election and should drop out of the race for the White House. Ackman told CNBC’s “Squawkbox” he does not think Biden should run for re-election. “So one, I’ve always been a centrist, always believed in supporting whoever is best for the country — Republican, independent, Democrat,” said Ackman. “I think it’s really important that Biden steps aside.” Ackman, who was being interviewed about his recent fight with Harvard University, only made his remarks after being asked about the 2024 presidential race, Fox News reported. “Just on the...
