Your bias is showing again. In response to an assassination attempt, you say it is Trump who should change, “offering grace to those who oppose him” (“Turning point: It’s Trump’s party, and how he handles it will determine America’s future,” July 18).How about those who spread eight years of lies about Mr. Trump? That he was in collusion with the Russians, was Putin’s puppet, said there were good people on both sides at Charlottesville, said we should inject bleach to fight Covid, demanded quid pro quo from Ukraine, those who said he was Hitler, a Nazi, a racist, and a...

A bombshell new poll has predicted which presidential candidate will win the election based on a 'no tossup' electoral map. RealClearPolitics showed Trump taking multiple swing states in the Rust Belt region - in addition to one that hasn't been nabbed by a Republican in decades. The map shows Trump winning in Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and even Virginia. Biden won Virginia in 2020 by 10 points and no Republican has taken the state since former president George W. Bush did so in 2004. The RCP map shows that, as of late July, Trump will win the election 325-213...

The suspect in the Trump rally shooting searched online for information on the arrest of a Michigan mass shooter and his parents, who were prosecuted in a 2021 high school shooting. He visited websites for how to build explosives. And in the minutes before he fired shots in an attempted assassination of Donald Trump, he screenshotted a picture from a livestream of the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally. A week before the shooting, Thomas Matthew Crooks searched online for the date of the Democratic National Convention and where Trump planned to speak, as well as other searches for Trump and President Joe...

Some time around 2021, American corporate executives discovered greed. Before that time, they kept prices low out of the goodness of their hearts, but three years ago — for mysterious reasons — they suddenly, en masse, decided to send prices through the roof. At least that’s the story Sen. Bob Casey wants you to believe. It wasn’t the reckless deficit spending from the federal government, flooding the nation with cheap money while interest rates were already zero. No, it was that newfound greed by shadowy evil-doers that made your grocery bill go up and your wages fail to keep up.

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...

Within minutes of the July 13 attempted assassination of Donald Trump, observers were asking how the assassin managed to gain a clear shot of Donald Trump at the Butler Farm Show Grounds near Butler, Pennsylvania. Since then, the question remains unanswered, but many allegations about the shooting have emerged. For example, multiple sources plausibly contend that both local police and the Secret Service had spotted the armed shooter—on a nearby roof with a rangefinder and a gun—several minutes before the shooting occurred. Law enforcement officers and agents chose to do nothing. Videos of the event show bystanders vocally warning both...

Would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks purportedly wrote a chilling online message that hinted at his sinister plans for the day he shot up the former president’s Butler, Pa. rally over the weekend. “July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds,” the 20-year-old gunman allegedly wrote on Steam, a popular online platform where gamers communicate, Fox News reported. Investigators are currently working to determine whether the posting is legitimate. The foreshadowing was revealed to US senators during a briefing by top law enforcement officials Wednesday.

Kamala Harris has suffered a blow in a poll that looked at how alternative Democratic candidates would do in swing states. There have been calls for U.S. President Joe Biden to be replaced as the Democratic candidate since the world watched his poor performance in his debate with Donald Trump on June 27. Many have assumed the vice president would be the obvious choice, but a new poll shows she doesn't fare as well as others, and she wasn't among the four who performed best. Analytics company BlueLabs carried out research to determine who would increase the number of people...

Throughout history, certain photographs, such as Nick Ut's "Napalm Girl", have etched themselves forever into the public psyche. A recent photograph of Donald Trump is poised to join this club. Blood streaks his face. The American flag looms in the background. His fist raised in defiance. The photograph of Donald Trump taken by Associated Press photographer Evan Vucci in the aftermath of an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania on 14 July is gathering iconic status. To coin a phrase, the photo is "one for the history books", a defining symbol of an era plagued by political crisis, violence and upheaval in...

There is only one Democrat who thinks he’s winning or in a good position to win: Joe Biden. Every other member of his party, excluding his Rasputin-like inner circle, knows he’s in trouble. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) reportedly told donors that House Democrats face annihilation if the president remains in the race. The polling reflects that the map has only improved for Donald Trump ever since Biden’s abysmal June 27 debate. CNN’s John King’s projection of the 2024 race isn’t just brutal for Joe Biden; it’s also something of an epitaph. We’re sixteen weeks away from Election Day, and with...
