WATCH LIVE: President Trump to Host a Town Hall in Warren, Michigan at 6 PM ET

By: Jordan Conradson — September 27th 2024 at 16:40
President Trump holds Town Hall in Warren, Michigan – September 27, 2024

President Trump is scheduled to host a Town Hall tonight in Warren, Michigan, focused on the economy, the auto industry, and American manufacturing.

From President Trump’s webpage:

President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will hold a Town Hall on Friday, September 27, 2024, at 6:00PM EDT in Warren, Michigan.

Michigan prides itself on being the auto capital of the world, and it’s the backbone of Michigan’s economy. President Donald J. Trump has shown time and time again that he is dedicated to supporting and rebuilding the auto-industry, starting with encouraging American manufacturing jobs. 

Kamala Harris’ actions have only shown that she will destroy the auto industry. If Kamala Harris has her way with a gas-powered car ban, Michigan will lose, at minimum, nearly 40,000 jobs. It’s painfully clear that Michiganders cannot afford four more years of Kamala Harris, and voters in the Great Lakes State are eager to hear how President Trump will lower inflation and protect the auto industry. 

Date and Time:

Friday, September 27, 2024

6:00PM EDT

Venue:

Macomb Community College 

14500 Twelve Mile Rd.  

Warren, MI 48088 

Timeline of Events:

3:00PM – Doors Open 

6:00PM – 45th President of the United States Donald J. Trump Delivers Remarks 

Thousands lined up early at the Macomb Community College to attend Trump’s Town Hall in the battleground state.

WATCH:


Earlier in the day, President Trump also delivered remarks on the economy at a rally in Walker, Michigan. He also slammed Kamala Harris’ failed open border policies as she heads to the state of Arizona today to visit the border and pretend to advocate for secure border policies like she didn’t cause the worst border crisis in history.

Airbnb Host Kicks Pro-Trump Ballot Chasers to The Curb After Discovering Intention to Get Out The Vote for Republican Candidates

By: Jordan Conradson — September 27th 2024 at 15:40

An Airbnb host was seemingly so triggered by Republican volunteers getting out the vote in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, earlier this week that they removed ballot chasers with Citizens Alliance’s PA CHASE  program from their rental property.

According to PA CHASE’s webpage, “The Pennsylvania Chase was launched by door-knocking guru Cliff Maloney.

The project is a dedicated initiative aimed at matching the Democrat’s tactics for mail-in ballot success and securing a significant victory for liberty-loving Republicans in the 2024 election.”

The group aims to knock on 500,000 doors across Pennsylvania during early voting.

On Monday, the ballot chasers were reportedly given an hour’s notice to leave the Airbnb after the host discovered what they were in town for.

Upon learning that the tenants were working to elect Donald Trump and Republicans in the state, the host immediately reported the group to Airbnb and canceled their $5,000 reservation.

Though Airbnb is reportedly investigating the incident, the organization has not been refunded the $5,000 used to pay for their reservation. The organization is currently consulting attorneys and weighing legal action.

Per Breitbart:

“This is how you know the PA CHASE is over the target — being discriminated against in Philadelphia is nothing new for conservatives,” Cliff Maloney, PA CHASE founder, told Breitbart News. “Democrats are furious that we are finally fighting fire with fire and beating them at their own game.”

“Let me be clear: we will not back down… we will not stop… and we will not let off the gas until we crush the commies and claim victory on November 5,” he added.

Citizens Alliance, a grassroots organization, launched an initiative in 2023 dubbed “Pennsylvania Chase” to increase Republicans’ 2024 mail-in voting results in Pennsylvania. The initiative is in response to failed efforts by establishment Republicans to match the Pennsylvania Democrats’ mail-in ballot tactics that regularly produce election victories.

“Our PA CHASE team in Philly has been targeting Bucks County which scares the living daylights out of the Democrats,” said PA Chase Chief Strategist Justin Greiss, who was on the ground in Pennsylvania during the incident. “This blatant political discrimination will not hinder our team, especially when the enemy is advocating for cutting off the private parts of America’s children. Trump must win to save the Republic.”

The incident comes as Vice President Kamala Harris is short about 360,000 Democrat mail-in ballot requests in Pennsylvania compared to where President Joe Biden was during this time in 2020, according to Secretary of State data released Monday.

“She Lost 325,000 Children” – Trump Slams Kamala Harris’ Open Border Policies in Press Conference Ahead of Kamala’s Arizona Border Visit (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — September 27th 2024 at 15:00
Trump holds press conference at Trump Tower in NYC – September 26, 2024

President Trump on Thursday held a press conference at Trump Tower in New York, where he responded to Kamala Harris’ plans to visit the southern border in Douglas, Arizona on Friday.

“She’s going there to try and convince people that she wasn’t as bad as everybody knows she was. She was the worst in history!” the President remarked.

Kamala will reportedly call for increased border security during scheduled remarks. President Trump said, “She should save her airfare. She should go back to the White House and tell the president to close the border.” He continued, “He can do it with the signing of—just a signature on a piece of paper to the border patrol.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Kamala Harris is visiting the border today for a photo-op as her historic illegal immigration and smuggling operation rages on.

ALERT!… Border Czar Kamala Harris to Visit Southern Border in Douglas, Arizona on Friday – Dirty RINO Douglas Mayor Donald Huish Reportedly Considering Endorsing Harris

Kamala will be in Douglas, Arizona, about two hours Southeast of Arizona’s second-largest city, Tucson. No further details were provided. Not surprisingly, the Harris campaign chose the farthest port of entry from Phoenix and Maricopa County, where over 60% of the state’s population resides.

She will still likely be met by protestors just as she was during her first and only visit to the Southern Border in El Paso, Texas, in June 2021. It's no wonder the Harris campaign decided to bring her as far away from the people of Arizona as possible.

It is also unclear if the trip is intended to pander to American citizens or to encourage her illegals to register and vote for her.

The Gateway Pundit recently reported that non-citizens and illegal aliens in Phoenix, Arizona, admitted to being registered to vote, in an undercover video posted by the Oversight Project. They further expressed interest in voting for Kamala Harris.

During his remarks Thursday, Trump slammed Kamala as the "architect of this destruction" and "untold suffering, misery, and death upon our land."

He continued, "She keeps talking about how she supposedly wants to fix the border. We would merely ask, why didn't she do it four years ago?"

Trump also commented on the more than 320,000 children that the Biden-Harris Regime has lost.

An August report from the Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General admits that over 320,000 unaccompanied migrant children were lost track of and “are considered at higher risk for trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor.”

291,000 of these missing children were never issued Notices to Appear or placed into removal proceedings. 32,000 children failed to appear on their court dates and are now missing.

"They're either dead, being sold into sex slavery, or just plain missing," said President Trump.

WATCH:

Trump: For nearly four years, we have been living through the worst border crisis in the history of the world--there's never been anything like it--which has brought untold suffering, misery, and death upon our land. The architect of this destruction is Kamala Harris.

When you look at the four years that have taken place after being named Border Czar, Kamala Harris will be visiting the southern border that she has completely destroyed, from what I understand tomorrow.

Why would she go to the border now, playing right into the hand of her opponent? And then you take a look at this. Why would you do that? There could be no justification for what she's done.

There's nobody saying, ‘Oh gee, she's done a fabulous job.’ She's done the worst job, probably in the history of any border, not just our border. She keeps talking about how she supposedly wants to fix the border. We would merely ask, why didn't she do it four years ago?

It's a very simple question. I can say this, with everything she has, she talks about borders and taxes and all these different things. Her policies on tax, by the way, are terrible. I can say it for everything.

Why didn't she fix it almost four years ago? She's got no plans, got no talent, got no ability to do it. I'm here today to present you with the facts, and only the facts, about how Comrade Kamala Harris willfully threw open our border, helping to virtually destroy our country.

She ended all of our programs that we instituted to stop child and woman trafficking. The trafficking is at a level now that it's never been before. I had it down to the lowest level it's been in 32 years because we had such a strong border.

They couldn't get through. But now it's the worst it's been in 32 years plus.

And then she lost, and this is probably the worst statistic of them all, 325,000 children. Think of that. Three and a half years, she lost 325,000 children, and they're either dead, being sold into sex slavery, or just plain missing. Think of the number 325,000, if that were a Republican instead of her. And she was the Border Czar.

She says, Well, "I wasn't the Border Czar." She was. And tomorrow, she'll make a case that, oh, she did a fairly good job. She can't say much. You can't justify it. She should save her airfare.

She should go back to the White House and tell the president to close the border. He can do it with the signing of—just a signature on a piece of paper to the border patrol. Instead, she's going there to try and convince people that she wasn't as bad as everybody knows she was. She was the worst in history!

ALERT!… Border Czar Kamala Harris to Visit Southern Border in Douglas, Arizona on Friday – Dirty RINO Douglas Mayor Donald Huish Reportedly Considering Endorsing Harris

By: Jordan Conradson — September 26th 2024 at 22:00

Kamala Harris is set to visit Arizona’s southern border on Friday, marking only the second time she’s visited the border since being appointed Biden’s Border Czar.

Local Communist propaganda rag Arizona Republic reports, “The visit would be Harris’ first to the border since becoming the Democratic nominee.” However, much like the failing New York Times, they fail to mention that it’s also her first trip to the border since 2021 when she visited the border for the first and only time.

Even that was a farce. As The Gateway Pundit reportedBorder Patrol sources revealed in July that agents in El Paso, Texas, were ordered to clear the illegals from the streets and move them into rented-out hotels to put on a “show” for Kamala Harris’ border photo op in 2021. “We sanitized all the aliens out of there to make it look good,” one agent said.

According to the campaign, late in the afternoon, Kamala will be in Douglas, Arizona, about two hours Southeast of Arizona’s second-largest city, Tucson. No further details were provided. Not surprisingly, the Harris campaign chose the farthest port of entry from Phoenix and Maricopa County, where over 60% of the state’s population resides.

It would be a shame for Kamala and the Democrats if thousands of Patriots called in sick to work and spent their Friday trolling the staged border visit!

Many are already prepared to show their support for President Trump:

Per Real America’s Voice correspondent Ben Bergquam, Harris is vying for the endorsement of RINO Douglas Mayor Donald Huish, who is considering announcing his support. “I really hope that’s not true, but if it is, the question is, how much did it cost?” asked Bergquam.

Apparently, the reason Kamala is visiting Douglas, Arizona tomorrow is because the Republican Mayor, Donald Huish, is considering endorsing her. I really hope that’s not true, but if it is, the question is, how much did it cost?

Be sure to call his office and let him know what you think about Kamala and the invasion she and Biden have caused!

This visit comes one month before the election as the Biden-Harris Regime has facilitated a historic influx of human trafficking and illegal aliens who are bringing drugs and crime into neighborhoods across the country with transportation provided by your tax dollars.

It is unclear if she will pander to American citizens or encourage her illegals to register and vote for her. The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that non-citizens and illegal aliens in Phoenix, Arizona, admitted to being registered to vote, in an undercover video posted by the Oversight Project. They further expressed interest in voting for Kamala Harris.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump shredded Kamala Harris’ border photo-op on Tuesday, commenting in a Truth Social post, “What a disgrace that she waited so long, allowing millions of people to enter our Country from prisons, mental institutions, and criminal cells all over the World, not just South America, many of those coming are terrorists, and at a level never seen before!”

WATCH: Rep. Eli Crane Warns President Trump Against Returning to Butler, PA Assassination Attempt Site for Scheduled Oct. 5 Rally – Suggests Possible Second Shooter in July Assassination Attempt

By: Jordan Conradson — September 26th 2024 at 19:00
Rep. Eli Crane testifies during the first public hearing of the Congressional Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump – September 26, 2024

Arizona Republican Congressman Eli Crane, a retired Navy SEAL sniper with five wartime deployments, testified on Thursday during the first public hearing of the Congressional Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump and warned the President against returning to the Butler, Pennsylvania rally site in the future.

“This was a horrible venue for a rally,” Crane said in his opening statement, citing the potential security threats discovered after he and his colleague Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) examined the site. Crane continued, “Secret Service should have done everything possible to dissuade the campaign from hosting it there.”

Later in his testimony, Crane also sounded the alarm on the potential of a second shooter in Butler, Pennsylvania, urging members of Congress to show courage in their investigation. Previously, in his opening statements, Crane challenged members of the Task Force to “have enough courage to think outside the box, challenge the mainstream narratives, and be willing to investigate every theory, regardless of how conspiratorial others might claim them to be.”

In the clip below, Crane references allegations and possible video evidence of a second shooter. The post from John Cullen points out inconsistencies in bullet trajectory that he says “could not have been fired from the AGR building” where the “lone shooter” was positioned.

WATCH:

CRANE: One of the things that I’ve seen online, and let me be clear when I say this, guys, so much of any investigation, I think, needs to be open-minded and willing to look at anything and everything that even if it might be outside the official narrative, even if you talk to somebody and find out that the evidence that they’re presenting, you know, might not hold water, might lack credibility, I think that’s extremely important. One of the videos that I’ve seen online is from a gentleman named John Cullen, who talks about the possibility of a second shooter, and he shows a video Miss Lee, where In this video, he shows a bullet traveling down a path, and the disruption that that round supposedly makes and then flies into, you know, one of the stadium fence railings, that shows that it would have been very, very difficult for that round to travel the path that it did, had it come from Thomas Crooks. I think that you need to bring this gentleman in, see as evidence. And if you don’t think it holds water, then you know, you need to make that assessment. But that was one of the things I said in my opening testimony. Far too often, especially as representatives, we’re scared that if we investigate something that others are saying might be conspiratorial, then that might defame us or give us a lack of credibility. But I think any investigation out there that’s worth its salt will look at any theory and then try and disprove, debunk it, or see if it holds water and run with it. So, John Cullen is somebody, I think, you guys should bring in here and look at the video evidence that he has of a bullet traveling, you know, in a trajectory, in a path, that would not have been able to come from Thomas Crooks.

The task force, chaired by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), was established in response to the July 13 assassination attempt at President Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when the House passed House Resolution 1367 on July 24. The three goals of the task force include,

  • To understand what went wrong on the day of the attempted assassination
  • To ensure accountability
  • To prevent such an agency failure from ever happening again

During Thursday’s hearing, Eli Crane and Cory Mills, an army veteran with sniper experience, testified on the Secret Service’s security failures and what they observed while visiting the rally site in Butler, Pennsylvania.

On July 13, Trump was shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks while speaking in Butler, Pennsylvania. One rallygoer was killed in the shooting, and two were injured. Crooks fired the shot on top of a nearby building, where Secret Service counter snipers had a clear view of the shooter from their position at a higher elevation than the shooter behind Trump, yet they did not act. Crooks accessed the building with a ladder he bought at Home Depot the same day as the shooting.

Additionally, as The Gateway Pundit reported, an eyewitness told the BBC that several people witnessed the shooter crawling on the roof of a local building with a rifle before Trump was shot, but they did not act until Trump was shot. According to later reports, a police officer encountered the shooter on the roof but let him go after he pointed the gun at him and before he shot Trump.

Investigations into the matter have left more questions than answers. For example, former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle’s excuse for leaving the building unmonitored by agents was that the building “has a sloped roof at its highest point” and it wouldn’t be safe.

Crane responded to the sloped roof claim by Cheatle, stating that he and Representative Mills were “able to confirm that former Secret Service Director Cheatle was lying to Congress when she gave us the excuse that the roof was too slanted, too dangerous for Secret Service snipers to take up counter sniper positions” immediately following the attempted assassination. “It was not steep at all. Ironically, the positions that secret service counter snipers posted themselves upon were actually far steeper than that roof at the AGR building,” he continued.

“Though I appreciate the former president’s courage and strong desire to rally his supporters, I strongly suggest that he and his campaign avoid this site on October 5 and in the future, which leads me to my most concerning assessment now of both assassination attempts on the former president,” Crane also said, noting, “we have been extremely lucky” that neither Thomas Crooks nor would-be assassin Ryan Routh, who targeted Trump at his West Palm Beach golf resort earlier this month, were professionals. “What is going to happen, Mr. Chairman, when the president of Iran, China, Russia, or any other country or group who does not want to see President Trump come back into office send professionals?” Crane asked. “I think we can all see by now that their likelihood of success would be tremendous.”

The Trump campaign issued the following news release on Wednesday, announcing his return to Butler, Pennsylvania, to finish his speech and honor Corey Comperatore’s heroism and sacrifice to his family:

On Saturday, October 5th, 2024, President Donald J. Trump will return to Butler, Pennsylvania to hold a rally on the very same ground where he came within a quarter of an inch of losing his life less than three months ago.

President Trump’s return to Butler will mark his first visit to the site of the attack since he was struck by an assassin’s bullet on July 13th—but was saved in what the world has recognized as an act of divine providence. 

During his visit, President Trump will honor the memory of Corey Comperatore, who heroically sacrificed his life to shield his wife and daughters from the bullets on that terrible day. President Trump will also recognize the two other Americans who were wounded by the shooter, David Dutch and James Copenhaver. He will express his deep gratitude to law enforcement and first responders, and thank the entire community for their outpouring of love and support in the wake of the attack.

President Trump’s return to Butler will stand as a tribute to the American spirit. In America, we do not let monsters like that evil assassin have the last word. Every time our nation is struck by attack or hardship, we rally, we persevere, and we prevail. When terrorists knocked down our towering skyscrapers, we rebuilt taller. When our communities are ravaged by fire, storm, or natural disaster, we pull together and come back stronger. And when a shooter attacked our democracy and tried to end this movement, President Trump will return to the site, joined by tens of thousands of proud citizens, and together, they will celebrate a unifying vision for America’s future in an event like the world has never seen before.

After not one, but two attempts on his life in the past nine weeks, President Trump is more determined than ever to see his mission through to the end. In that Butler field on July 13th, he took a bullet for democracy—and on November 5th, he is going to save our democracy. With the help of the amazing people of Pennsylvania and citizens all across our land, we will make America safer, stronger, freer, and greater than ever before.

Tickets to the historic rally on October 5 are available here.

Crane further took a shot at the Secret Service, suggesting to President Trump and his campaign that they “beef up his private security details with individuals who are loyal to him and not burdened by the bureaucracy and culture of an organization that many of us used to hold in high esteem.”

Watch Representative Crane’s opening statement below:

CRANE: For those of you who don’t know, I served in the US Navy from 2001 to 2014, had the opportunity to deploy to Iraq multiple times with SEAL Team Three. One of my qualifications was as a sniper. We are highly trained in various aspects of military operation, weaponry, technology, tactics, and all sorts of mission sets to include executive protection. With that background, it’s evident to me that many basic security measures were completely dropped. That being said, you do not have to have a background in special operations to recognize the incompetence and security failures that led to the catastrophic vulnerability surrounding President Trump and the crowd that day. I hear from Americans every day, in complete disbelief in the wake of two assassination attempts in two and a half months, that cannot believe how ineffective our Secret Service has become. There’s simply no excuse. I’m glad I can testify today to share some insight into the operational failures of that fateful day. Rep. Mills and I visited Butler Pennsylvania rally site immediately following the assassination attempt to investigate. I’ve also visited the site with Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green and my colleagues on the committee. Some of the main challenges facing Secret Service were completely avoidable. For example, we investigated the second floor window Secret Service agents and local law enforcement had access to, overlooking the roof from where the shooter engaged the former president. I was able to confirm that had anyone stationed in the second story at AGR building come off of their weapon system, moved to the window, and looked out the window during their search to reacquire Thomas Crooks, they would have seen him within 30 to 40 yards of that position. He would have easily been spotted lying on that roof with no camouflage and his rifle. We were able to confirm that former Secret Service Director Cheatle was lying to Congress when she gave us the excuse that the roof was too slanted, too dangerous for Secret Service snipers to take up counter sniper positions. But as myself and others who went up on that roof, it was not steep at all. Ironically, the positions that secret service counter snipers posted themselves upon were actually far steeper than that roof at the AGR building.

Furthermore, Secret Service did not have any of its counter snipers on a nearby water tower, the tallest structure at the farm show grounds. I knew immediately upon setting foot at that site—and Mr. Chairman, you were there as well—that that’s exactly where I would have placed myself as a counter sniper because of its commanding view over the entire property. Not only would any counter sniper have been able to easily engage Thomas Crooks from that position that he attempted to assassinate former President Trump, but it’s very likely that Thomas crooks might have decided to abort his mission and go home, had we had counter snipers on that water tower. The thing that we need to understand about security is how important deterrence is. Had Thomas crooks visually spotted or located counter snipers with the use of his drone that day, it is very likely that he would recognize that he would have been deterred long before ever getting into that position capable of having a direct line of sight to the podium and to President Trump, and would have possibly aborted his mission. Rep. Mills and I also ranged several other buildings and windows that were well within range for anyone with a desire to assassinate the former president. Upon our investigation that day, we were informed that nobody was posted on nor had conducted any advance work amongst these very choice and accessible firing positions Rep. Mills and I both concluded, within minutes of observation from the same exact positions used by secret service counter snipers, that this was a horrible venue for a rally, and Secret Service should have done everything possible to dissuade the campaign from hosting it there. To date, we have seen no evidence that secret service tried to dissuade the campaign from using the site due to the alarming threat profiles surrounding the site.

Though I appreciate the former president’s courage and strong desire to rally his supporters, I strongly suggest that he and his campaign avoid this site on October 5 and in the future, which leads me to my most concerning assessment now of both assassination attempts on the former president. I cannot be more clear. To this point, we have been extremely lucky. Whether either of these individuals were working in coordination with other groups, organizations, or nation states who desired to kill the former president, none of the individuals attempting to kill the president have been professionals. I can tell you that with authority by the weaponry and the gear they used, as well as the fact that Thomas crooks took a head shot. I can tell you from experience that most snipers are trained to take center mass torso shots, if possible, for the very exact reason that we saw him miss a headshot on July 13. I can also tell by examining Ryan Routh’s final firing position on the fence line of the golf course that he too was not a professional. No trained sniper, no trained assassin, would have set up their final firing position the way he did. We are trained to make absolute sure that nothing on our person or in the vicinity of where we are located and going to take our final shots, that anything stands out from the environment we are in. You could see those large bags holding ballistic plates on the fence, which would easily catch the eye of any trained security agent. He also stuck his barrel through the fence instead of cutting what we call a loophole in it, so that he could stay back in the shadows, allowing his concealment. I want to reiterate, to date these individuals that have tried to assassinate former President Trump are not professionals. What is going to happen, Mr. Chairman, when the president of Iran, China, Russia, or any other country or group who does not want to see President Trump come back into office send professionals? What is going to happen next time there is a 10 man Hezbollah team, snipers, assaulters and drone operators launching a coordinated and overlapping assassination attempt on the president. I think we can all see by now that their likelihood of success would be tremendous. My suggestion to the former president and to his campaign is that he beef up his private security detail of individuals who are loyal to him and not burdened by the bureaucracy and culture of an organization that many of us used to hold in high esteem. The reason for this is so they can plug holes that Secret Service continues to leave and make sure they are not putting him in vulnerable situations. It is important that these investigations and oversight continue to make sure that in the coming days, weeks and months and even years, this is no longer a regular occurrence and not even a possibility. I want to challenge this task force to continue doing the great work that they are doing here today. I also want to challenge them to have enough courage to think outside the box, challenge the mainstream narratives, and be willing to investigate every theory, regardless of how conspiratorial others might claim them to be. There is a concern from the American people that this task force will be like most investigations in Washington, DC, that lead to zero accountability and transparency and simply call for money for an organization that desperately needs reforms at its core.

Kari Lake’s Daughter Attacked by Crazed Leftist While Registering Voters at Arizona State University

By: Jordan Conradson — September 26th 2024 at 13:20
Kari Lake’s daughter, Ruby Halperin, gets a drink thrown at her by triggered leftist

In a predictable turn of events on a campus known for its opposition to conservative ideas, Ruby Halperin, the daughter of Arizona’s Republican Nominee for US Senate, Kari Lake, was attacked on Wednesday while she was registering voters at Arizona State University (ASU). 

Turning Point Action on Wednesday held a “Greek Voter Registration” event that far outsized a competing Democratic voter registration drive on campus.

We are not the same

Same location, different candidates and different policies

It’s fun to wear the hat, register new voters, chase ballots, to be vocal about the future you want and we have 41 days to keep doing just that

VOTE TRUMP/VANCE
VOTE KARI LAKE

Get involved

— Nick Moore (@GOPNickMoore) September 26, 2024

This seemingly triggered the liberal students, leading to an incident where Lake’s daughter says, “A crazed leftist threw a drink at me and ran off.”

Halperin posted photos of herself soaked by the perpetrator’s drink to X, commenting, “THIS IS THE LEFT. They know we are winning this election and it scares them. GET UP AND VOTE TRUMP.”

Her mother, Kari Lake, agreed, adding, “They know that thousands of kids at every university are registering Republican. They know that they are losing the young vote because young Americans know their future is on the line and it’s the America First Republican party that wants to make their future great again.”

— Kari Lake (@KariLake) September 25, 2024

In a subsequent X post, Lake questioned, “Where is the news media in giving this coverage??” Lake continued, “If the tables were turned and a young Democrat was registering other students to vote and a Republican poured a bottle of soda on that Democrat student the news media would be ALL OVER THIS. Shame on the compromised Arizona news media.”

It should be noted that, as of writing, none of the local Arizona media has reported on the incident.

Halperin told The Gateway Pundit, “Today while registering voters at Arizona State University, a crazed leftist threw a drink at me and ran off. This is not just a normal attack; it’s meant to scare conservatives. This is why it’s so important that we continue to fight this fight. The left is scared, and they are showing it through violence. I will never back down.”

This was just one of many incidents in recent years targeting conservatives with violence and suppression. Last year, a professor who founded Drag Story Hour Arizona and taught a seminar on “LGBTQ+ Youth in Pop Culture and Politicsattacked two Turning Point USA journalists.

Also, in 2023, the woke ASU faculty erupted with outrage over an event at the school with conservative panelists Charlie Kirk, Robert Kiyosaki, and Dennis Prager. This led to the harassment and firing of two employees who hosted the event.

During the 2022 midterm elections, Arizona PBS, which is housed in and partnered with Arizona State University’s Cronkite School of Journalism, swindled Arizona voters by giving Katie Hobbs free airtime in lieu of a debate following her refusal to debate Kari Lake. This also came after the Arizona Clean Elections Commission, which partners with PBS to host candidate debates, rejected Democrat Katie Hobbs’ proposal to change the gubernatorial debate into a forum with separate interviews for the candidates.

Earlier in 2022, ASU canceled a conservative group’s event featuring Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs and former Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz, ostensibly because the event featured conservatives, which is one of the three reasons reportedly given by the university.

In 2021, The Gateway Pundit reported on one professor’s radical leftist propaganda operation, which assigned homework in her business management class, which listed “the election of Donald Trump” as a potential event that posed “a threat to the world trading system.”

Later that same year, far-left students protested Kyle Rittenhouse’s attendance at the university, calling on the school to “protect students from a violent, blood-thirsty murderer.” The protestors’ demands included Rittenhouse’s expulsion from the university, a statement by ASU denouncing “racist murderer” Rittenhouse, and the defunding of ASU police to fund the so-called “multicultural center” that discriminates against white people.

And who can forget the viral 2022 incident in the school’s aforementioned “multicultural center,” where two women harassed two white students–for being white on campus?

What? Kari Lake’s Senate Opponent Ruben Gallego Announced Engagement to Current Wife in 2020 and Marriage in 2021 After Secret 2019 Marriage

By: Jordan Conradson — September 25th 2024 at 21:00
Ruben Gallego and Sydney Barron’s “wedding” in June 2021

Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), the Democratic Nominee for the US Senate in Arizona, has been caught in a bizarre lie about his marriage, apparently announcing his engagement and wedding long after secretly getting married in 2019.

Gallego divorced his ex-wife, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, in 2016, just before she gave birth to his son.

The Gateway Pundit has reported on Gallego’s abandonment of his family for a Washington, DC lobbyist. Kari Lake, the Trump Endorsed Republican facing Gallego in the November General Election, took a shot at Gallego in an ad earlier this year, calling him a “deadbeat dad” who “shacked up with a DC lobbyist and left his son fatherless.”

According to a report by the Washington Free Beacon, Gallego's Washington, DC, marriage license shows that he remarried in December 2019 to National Association of Realtors lobbyist Sydney Barron. Gallego has also sponsored or cosponsored at least 17 bills and voted for 38 bills that Barron lobbied for. 

However, months later, Gallego publicly announced that he popped the question in a February 15, 2020 Instagram post, captioned, "She said yes!!"

Shortly after, on February 18, 2020, Politico reported the following:

ENGAGED -- Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) and Sydney Barron, a legislative representative at the National Association of Realtors, got engaged this weekend on a trip to Ireland, where Gallego popped the question at a small restaurant in the historic city of Limerick. The couple met through mutual friends at the 2018 Congressional Baseball Game.

Oddly enough, they were already married for several months when he "proposed" to his wife. Over one year later, in June 2021, the pair reportedly had a wedding ceremony.

Politico again reported on June 7, 2021,

GALLEGO GETS HITCHED — Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) and Sydney Barron, director of government affairs at the National Association of Realtors, got married this weekend in Puerto Rico. The ceremony was officiated by Leigh Parker Pross, who introduced the couple back in 2018, and they were joined by friends and family for a beachfront ceremony. PicAnother picSPOTTED: Puerto Rico Gov. Pedro Pierluisi, Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.), Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) and Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), and Puerto Rico Sen. Carmelo Rios Santiago.

Gallego reportedly also listed his wife in a disclosure as a "family member" in April 2021, before the two announced their marriage when he went on a trip to Qatar that was paid for by the US-Qatar Business Council, a special interest group that spent more than $84,000 on at least five lawmakers’ travel.

His motive for deceiving the public and keeping his marriage a secret for almost two years is unclear.

Gallego previously had his records of the divorce proceedings with his ex-wife sealed by the court. Washington Free Beacon is currently suing Gallego to unseal his divorce records, which they say "has fought tooth and nail."

"Ruben Gallego is a con man," Kari Lake told The Gateway Pundit. Whether it be working at a company investigated for committing medicare fraud, defrauding immigrants at a bank, egregiously violating the Stock Act, to now, very publicly, lying about the timeline AND circumstances between his controversial divorce to his nine-month pregnant wife and second marriage to a lobbyist."

Lake continued, "Like I said, Gallego is a con man, and his run for Senate is another swindle."

WATCH: Muckraker Exposes The Fate of Biden and Harris’s 320,000 Missing Children Trafficked Through The Border – Border Patrol Agent Says It’s “Exactly Like” The Sound of Freedom

By: Jordan Conradson — September 25th 2024 at 19:00

A new investigation by Muckraker exposes the Biden-Harris administration’s trafficking of humans and children and the pathway of the hundreds of thousands of children that are trafficked into the United States with the federal government’s help.

This comes as an August report from the Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General admits that over 320,000 unaccompanied migrant children were lost track of and “are considered at higher risk for trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor.”

291,000 of these missing children were never issued Notices to Appear or placed into removal proceedings. 32,000 children failed to appear on their court dates and are now missing.

After a government insider provided the outlet with a list of over 8,000 children and their last known addresses, Muckraker began investigating the “dangerous places” these children were taken, interviewed some of the trafficked minors, and confronted one of the federal contractors moving the children.

“We discovered that while in federal government custody, some children asked to be sent back to their home country, but are instead taken away in the middle of the night and sent to sponsors who they do not know. It is also well documented that this program has placed children in the hands of criminal organizations such as MS-13, as well as labor and sex trafficking rings,” says Muckraker CEO Anthony Rubin.

One of the first properties that they visited was an abandoned house in Amityville, New York, where two boys (7 and 10 years old) were allegedly transported. They later went to an address in the Bronx, New York, and spoke to a girl who was trafficked across the country from a migrant facility in Pomona, California.

The girl told them that two kids who were in the facility with her did not know where they were going or what would happen to them.

She also said a 16-year-old girl disappeared overnight at 3 AM after crying because “she didn’t know what they would do with her.”

The girl confirmed that some of the children had asked to be sent back to their home countries, but the federal government wouldn’t let them go home.

Other children confirmed that kids were being held against their will in the United States to be exploited for labor and sex and being threatened with deportation or homelessness.

Muckraker further discovered that in Florida, five different addresses were being used by illegal aliens to sponsor children, who were being held with a “trafficking debt.”

Anthony Rubin says that despite a case being referred to the FBI, HSI, and HHS, the agencies sat on it for months and did nothing.

One girl who was transported through this trafficking ring, led by two Guatemalan illegals named Baltazar and Juana, said, “Baltazar and Juana take in a lot of children here and put them to work.”

The girl said that children as young as five years old were taken in by Baltazar, and that Baltazar rented out space in the house to his friends. It is unclear if the children were made available to the renters at the home.

Rubin confronted the government contractors who were transporting the minors in McAllen, Texas.

The company, MVM, Inc., has received hundreds of millions of dollars from the Department of Homeland Security for “unaccompanied children and family unit transportation services.”

When the journalists encountered a van moving children and confronted the adult contractors with questions, they refused to speak and denied working for MVM.

After following the van to the airport, they discovered that everyone, including the children, was wearing masks and hiding their faces.

A border patrol agent who was asked about the children confirmed that many of them are trafficking victims who are given fake names. The border patrol agent compared the situation to The Sound of Freedom film, saying “exactly like that sh*t happens.”

The agent also confirms that the kids come with notes attached to them with an address, which a lot of times leads to a sex trafficker.

“There’s a lot of sh*t that we can’t tell you,” he said, stating it’s all about politics and making the administration look good.

Watch below via Muckraker:

We Found the Biden-Harris Administration’s Missing Children | FIRST-HAND TESTIMONIES FROM CHILDREN WHO WERE TRAFFICKED IN AMERICA

We tracked down some of the 320,000 illegal alien children lost by the Biden-Harris administration.

During the course of our investigation, we discovered:

– The federal government is sending children to strangers.

– A CIA contractor is moving children across America.

– Children are being sent to labor trafficking rings.

– Traffickers use deportation as a threat to exact “debt” payments from sponsored children.

This report reveals the cold, hard truth about the reality of the Biden-Harris administration’s open-border policies, which have resulted in the trafficking of untold numbers of children.

JUST IN: Border Czar Kamala Harris Announces She Will Finally Visit the Border This Week – TRUMP RESPONDS

By: Jordan Conradson — September 24th 2024 at 12:40

Border czar Kamala Harris is set to stop at Arizona’s southern border on Friday as she campaigns in the state.

The Harris campaign has not provided details of the border stop and location she will visit, likely to prevent the locals from showing up.

It would be a shame for the Democrats if thousands of Trump supporters showed up in protest of Kamala’s inaction on the southern border.

The far-left New York Times reports that “Harris is expected to make her first visit to the southern border since becoming the Democratic nominee,” omitting the fact that her first and only visit to the border was in June 2021. And it was all an act!

As The Gateway Pundit recently reported, Border Patrol sources revealed in July that agents in El Paso, Texas, were ordered to clear the illegals from the streets and move them into rented-out hotels to put on a “show” for Kamala Harris’ border photo op. “We sanitized all the aliens out of there to make it look good,” one agent said.

During the one trip she took to the border long ago, Harris was met with angry Trump-supporting protestors.

“Que Mala! We Don’t Want You Here!” – Latino Trump Supporters Greet Kamala Harris as She Arrives in El Paso (VIDEO)

Now, as the border is a key issue this election, with polls showing Trump's border policies leading in voter trust, "She’s trying to con the public like she did a good job at the Border when, in fact, she has destroyed the very fabric of our Nation allowing 21 Million people in from places unknown," says Trump.

"When Kamala is seen at the Border on Friday, she will pass Hundreds of Miles of Wall that was built by TRUMP, and it is Wall that WORKS... When she speaks, I hope everybody remembers that she has caused our cities, towns, and Country itself, tremendous damage, and only I can fix it!" said Trump.

Trump roasted Harris in a series of Truth Social posts:

TRUMP:  After almost four years, Border Czar Kamala Harris has decided, for political reasons, that it’s time for her to go to our broken Southern Border. What a disgrace that she waited so long, allowing millions of people to enter our Country from prisons, mental institutions, and criminal cells all over the World, not just South America, many of those coming are terrorists, and at a level never seen before! She’s trying to con the public like she did a good job at the Border when, in fact, she has destroyed the very fabric of our Nation allowing 21 Million people in from places unknown….

….When Kamala is seen at the Border on Friday, she will pass Hundreds of Miles of Wall that was built by TRUMP, and it is Wall that WORKS! When she speaks, be advised that this woman has allowed more than 21 million people into our Country, totally unvetted, and from places unknown. They are now creating criminal havoc all throughout the Country. Every State is a Border State! When she speaks, I hope everybody remembers that she has caused our cities, towns, and Country itself, tremendous damage, and only I can fix it!

The Gateway Pundit will provide updates on Kamala's campaign stop in Arizona and further details on her whereabouts.

Rep. Paul Gosar Calls Out Kamala Harris and Lloyd Austin Over Lies About Active-Duty Troops in Combat Zones

By: Jordan Conradson — September 24th 2024 at 09:45

Congressman Paul Gosar (R-AZ) fired off a letter to Kamala Harris and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Friday, seeking a correction to Harris’ lies about active-duty military troops who are placed in harm’s way in the Middle East.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Kamala Harris falsely bragged in the September 10 debate with President Trump that there are no American men and women serving in a combat zone today.

This was instantly fact-checked by U.S. Military troops serving in a combat zone who were watching this in real time.

VIDEO: US Soldiers Give Kamala Harris the MOST BRUTAL FACT-CHECK in Debate History!

Americans are not only serving in dangerous areas and war zones; they are still being injured and killed, as Gosar's letter to Harris and Austin notes.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Gosar also sent a letter to Lloyd Austin in February highlighting and requesting information regarding the military's presence in the Middle East following an airstrike that killed three troops and injured over 40 Arizona National Guardsmen at Tower 22 in Jordan. "In the response, the DOD claims U.S. troops are deployed to the Middle East to counter Iranian influence, but could not discuss the status of service members overseas," Gosar writes.

While Kamala Harris claims that not a single American troop is currently serving in a combat zone, Gosar emphasizes that a June 2024 press release from the U.S. Central Command states, "From January to June 2024, ISIS has claimed 153 attacks in Iraq and Syria" and underlines ISIS's pathway to "more than double the total number of attacks they claimed in 2023."

The Arizona Republican further suggests that Harris's denial of troops in combat zones infers that these troops do not deserve combat pay or will be withdrawn before they can receive increased pay.

"These false statements dishonor the men and women still stationed abroad and those American soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation," Gosar writes, adding, "Vice President Harris's public denial of their presence in combat zones is detrimental to morale."

Gosar's letter to Austin and Harris concludes with the following ask:

I request that you immediately correct the record. These false statements dishonor the men and women still stationed abroad and those American soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in defenseof our nation. Further, I respectfully request the following information:

  • If the belief is still held that there are no troops in combat zones, how do you define the term, "combat zone?"
  • Does the term differ in use by the White House compared to the DOD?
  • Please provide a list of the combat zones recognized by the White House.
  • How many active duty service members are stationed in combat zones?
  • Are these service members receiving combat pay, also known as imminent danger pay?
  • How many members of the Arizona National Guard are still deployed to Jordan?
  • Is the mission in Iraq still to counter Iran or has the mission evolved?
  • How does this affect greater risk to service members?
  • How is the DoD protecting U.S. service members overseas from this known pattern of attacks?
  • The Congressional Research Service reports there are eight permanent bases and 1 other U.S. military sites in the Middle East. Is this accurate?
  • Reuters reported the United States is planning to withdraw some U.S. troops from Iraq in 2025. Is this accurate?
    • Is there aplan to withdraw our service members from any ofthese foreign facilities?

Read the full letter here.

From Rep Paul Gosar's office:

This week I sent letter to Vice President Harris and Department of Defense Secretary Austin in response to recent false claims by the Vice President that “there is not one member of the United States miliary who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world, the first time this century.”  This is a bold face lie.  In fact, the United States has 2,500 troops being fired or in harm’s way in Iraq and 900 troops in Syria, both designated combat zones.  U.S. naval ships are under constant attack by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea.

Kamala’s latest lie is particularly galling here at home.  Last September, more than 350 Arizona Guardsmen were deployed to the Middle East as part of Task Force Spartan in support of CENTCOM.  Tragically, on January 28, 2024, a drone strike in Jordan killed three U.S. service members and injured over forty others.  Most of the injured were members of the 1st Battalion, 158th Infantry Regiment, or “Bushmasters,” of the Arizona National Guard, including Guardsmen from Phoenix, Tucson, Florence, Prescott, and Buckeye.

Kamala Harris cannot dishonor our troops for political gain, nor should our service members overseas feel abandoned by their country.  VP Harris’ public denial of their presence in combat zones is detrimental to morale and is a slap in the face to all brave men and women in combat’s harm.

JUST IN: Late Night Shooting in Birmingham, Alabama Leaves 4 Dead, Over a Dozen Injured

By: Jordan Conradson — September 22nd 2024 at 10:00

A shooting in Birmingham, Alabama’s Five Points South entertainment district left four dead and at least 18 injured after multiple shooters opened fire in what is believed to have been a targeted incident on Saturday night.

Police are still looking for a motive and suspects in the shooting. It is unclear whether it was a drive-by shooting or the shooters were on foot, according to police.

Multiple bystanders were caught in the crossfire, and police are still trying to identify the target of the shooting.

Video and photos from the scene show chaos as police respond to multiple victims in the 2000 block of Magnolia Avenue.

BREAKING: MULTIPLE PEOPLE SHOT IN ALABAMA, POSSIBLE CASUALTIES

Birmingham Police have confirmed multiple victims in a shooting at Five Points South late Saturday night.

The incident, reported at 11:29 p.m., may involve several casualties.

Per WVTM 13:

Birmingham police said multiple people fired multiple shots on a group of people just after 11 p.m. Saturday night in Birmingham Five Points South. It happened outside Hush, a hookah and cigar lounge on Magnolia Avenue.

Police believe the shooting was not random and stemmed from an isolated incident. Multiple people were caught in the crossfire, and right now, police are trying to identify the intended target.

A total of 22 people were shot. Among the 18 who survived, their injuries range from non-life-threatening to life-threatening.

No one is in custody at this time, according to police.

While the leftist media and politicians will blame guns and push hysteria over “mass shootings,” Birmingham Police Officer Truman Fitzgerald said in a press conference these incidents “have more to do with culture than they do criminality.” He added, “We’re seeing far too many arguments being settled by bullets.”

The Gun Violence Archive and leftist media outlets identify mass shootings as incidents with “a minimum of four victims shot, either injured or killed, not including any shooter who may also have been killed or injured in the incident.” Therefore, incidents like this and other shootings that could be related to gang violence and don’t come to mind when you think of a mass shooting are considered “mass shootings,” likely to inflate the statistics and drive fear.

DOJ Files $100M Lawsuit Against Owner and Operator of Ship That Destroyed Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge

By: Jordan Conradson — September 18th 2024 at 19:00
Francis Scott Key Bridge collapses following container ship collision – March 26, 2024

The Department of Justice on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against Grace Ocean Private Limited and Synergy Marine Private Limited, the owners and operators of the Dali, the Singaporean ship that collided with and destroyed Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge in March.

The Gateway Pundit reported on the bridge’s collapse after the Dali took out a support column.

The Key Bridge is a major commuter route that carries the Baltimore Beltway I-695 over the Patapsco River at the southern end of Baltimore Harbor.

Breaking: Massive Bridge Collapse in Baltimore; Large Sections of Key Bridge Fall into Patapsco River After Cargo Ship Collision Took Out Support Column

The Gateway Pundit reported that Grace Ocean Private Limited previously “denied any fault or neglect of the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge” and requested to be exonerated from all liability for the Key Bridge’s collapse in a federal court filing.

“With this civil claim, the Justice Department is working to ensure that the costs of clearing the channel and reopening the Port of Baltimore are borne by the companies that caused the crash, not by the American taxpayer,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a press release.

The suit alleges that the incident was "entirely avoidable," arguing that electrical and mechanical systems were improperly maintained and violated safety regulations, and the ship was in "unseaworthy condition." Additionally, the complaint argues that "none of the four means available to help control the DALI—her propeller, rudder, anchor, or bow thruster—worked when they were needed to avert or even mitigate this disaster." The issues that led to the ship losing power multiple times and colliding with the bridge are credited by the Justice Department to the operators' decisions, which were "made to save money and for their own convenience."

Prior to the collision, the ship underwent multiple power losses while at the pier, including on March 25, before the incident occurred shortly after midnight on March 26. Despite an obligation to report the power loss, "the DALI’s power losses in Baltimore were not reported to the Coast Guard," the complaint states. Additionally, the ship failed to inform the pilot steering the ship of the irregularities and ship's defects, the lawsuit claims. 

The complaint states, "As a result of the disaster, the United States incurred more than $100,000,000 in losses and response costs in the course of clearing the wreck and bridge debris from the navigable channel to reopen the Port of Baltimore." In addition to approximately $103,078,056 in damages, the United States also seeks punitive damages in an amount to be determined by the Court, citing the companies' gross negligence, willful, wanton, and reckless indifference.

"The new claims provide the most detailed account yet of what led to the bridge’s total collapse early March 26," Baltimore Banner reports.

More from Baltimore Banner:

The Dali included a rigged transformer that had been repeatedly cracking from excessive vibrations and a “recklessly disabled” backup circuit system, the government alleges. Recent inspections had found loose bolts, nuts and washers and broken electrical cable ties inside the transformers and switchboards.

The ship’s electrical equipment was so poor that one agency stopped electrical testing because of “safety concerns,” according to the government’s court filing.

With a deadline looming next week to respond to the Dali operators’ petition to limit their liability, new legal claims are flowing in.

A criminal investigation is ongoing, officials said, as well as a National Transportation Safety Board inquiry. Certain members of the Dali crew, who hailed almost entirely from India, remain in Baltimore voluntarily to assist in the investigation, officials said.

Press release from DOJ:

Claim Seeks Over $100M in Costs Incurred to Reopen Access to the Port of Baltimore and Punitive Damages for the Owner and Operator’s Reckless Conduct

The Justice Department filed a civil claim today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland against Grace Ocean Private Limited and Synergy Marine Private Limited, the Singaporean corporations that owned and operated the container ship that destroyed the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

In the early morning hours of March 26, the Motor Vessel DALI left the Port of Baltimore bound for Sri Lanka. While navigating through the Fort McHenry Channel, the vessel lost power, regained power, and then lost power again before striking the bridge. The bridge collapsed and plunged into the water below, tragically killing six people. In addition to this heartbreaking loss of life, the wreck of the DALI and the remnants of the bridge obstructed the navigable channel and brought all shipping into and out of the Port of Baltimore to a standstill. The loss of the bridge also severed a critical highway in our transportation infrastructure and a key artery for local commuters.

The suit seeks to recover over $100 million in costs the United States incurred in responding to the fatal disaster and for clearing the entangled wreck and bridge debris from the navigable channel so the port could reopen.

“The Justice Department is committed to ensuring accountability for those responsible for the destruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which resulted in the tragic deaths of six people and disrupted our country’s transportation and defense infrastructure,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “With this civil claim, the Justice Department is working to ensure that the costs of clearing the channel and reopening the Port of Baltimore are borne by the companies that caused the crash, not by the American taxpayer.”

The United States led the response efforts of dozens of federal, state, and local agencies to remove about 50,000 tons of steel, concrete, and asphalt from the channel and from the DALI itself. While these removal operations were underway, the claim alleges that the United States also cleared a series of temporary channels to start relieving the bottleneck at the port and mitigate some of the economic devastation caused by the DALI. The Fort McHenry Channel was cleared by June 10, and the Port of Baltimore was once again open for commercial navigation.

“The owner and operator of the DALI were well aware of vibration issues on the vessel that could cause a power outage. But instead of taking necessary precautions, they did the opposite,” said Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer. “Out of negligence, mismanagement, and, at times, a desire to cut costs, they configured the ship’s electrical and mechanical systems in a way that prevented those systems from being able to quickly restore propulsion and steering after a power outage. As a result, when the DALI lost power, a cascading set of failures led to disaster.”

Indeed, the lawsuit specifically asserts that none of the four means that should have been available to help steer the DALI — the propeller, rudder, anchor, or bow thruster — worked when they were needed to avert or even mitigate this disaster.

“This was an entirely avoidable catastrophe, resulting from a series of eminently foreseeable errors made by the owner and operator of the DALI,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. "The suit seeks to recover the costs incurred by the United States in responding to this disaster, which include removing the bridge parts from the channel and those parts that were entangled with the vessel, as well as abating the substantial risk of oil pollution.”

“In so many ways, the Key Bridge has symbolized the resilience of both the State of Maryland and our Nation. In a very real way, the Key Bridge was a pathway to the American Dream. A part of our culture is gone,” said U.S. Attorney Erek L. Barron for the District of Maryland. “Those responsible for the Key Bridge collapse will be held accountable.”

The Justice Department’s claim also seeks punitive damages to deter the owner and operator of the DALI and others. During a press call announcing the Justice Department’s actions, Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Chetan Patil of the Civil Division explained, “This accident happened because of the careless and grossly negligent decisions made by Grace Ocean and Synergy, who recklessly chose to send an unseaworthy vessel to navigate a critical waterway and ignored the risks to American lives and the nation’s infrastructure.”

The Department’s claim is part of a legal action the owner and operator of the DALI initiated shortly after the tragedy, in which they seek exoneration or limitation of their liability to approximately $44 million.

“Wholly preventable failures by the owner and operator of the DALI caused this tragic incident that cost six bridge construction workers their lives and closed one of the largest ports on the East Coast,” said Rear Admiral Laura M. Dickey, Deputy for Operations Capability and Policy of the U.S. Coast Guard. “The Coast Guard quickly responded by establishing a Unified Command with federal, state, and local stakeholders to rapidly open alternative channels and restore the Port of Baltimore to full operations in just over two months. We stand ready to support the Justice Department to ensure that those responsible for this tragedy pay the costs of reopening the Port.”

The claim on behalf of the United States does not include any damages for the reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The State of Maryland built, owned, maintained, and operated the bridge, and attorneys on the State’s behalf may file their own claim for those damages. Subsequently, pursuant to the governing regulation, funds recovered by the State of Maryland for reconstruction of the bridge will be used to reduce the project costs paid by federal taxpayer dollars.

The United States is represented in the filed action by attorneys from the Civil Division’s Aviation, Space & Admiralty Litigation Section and from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division.

The claims alleged by the United States are allegations only. There has been no determination of liability.

WATCH LIVE: President Trump Delivers Remarks at Rally in Uniondale, New York at 7 PM ET

By: Jordan Conradson — September 18th 2024 at 17:40
Screenshot: Trump Live

President Trump is holding a rally tonight in Uniondale, New York, marking his second major campaign appearance in the state that a Republican hasn’t been competitive in since 1988.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, in May, thousands of voters turned out to see Trump speak in the Bronx. This was despite fears of violence from Democrats, who had a minimal presence at the rally despite 15 or more politicians and groups trying to disrupt the rally with their protest.

Doors to the rally opened at 3 pm ET. Supporters were seen early in the morning lining up over 12 hours early to see President Trump speak at 7 pm:

By approximately 9 am, thousands of supporters had already shown up, awaiting entry at 3 pm.

WATCH:

President Trump returned to the campaign trail on Monday for the first time since a second assassination attempt against him on Sunday, marking the second attempt on his life since July. Trump spoke last night during a Town Hall in Flint, Michigan, moderated by Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, answering questions from supporters in the battleground state.

The second attempt on President Trump’s life came as Trump was golfing on the 5th hole of his West Palm Beach resort with real estate investor Steve Witkoff on Sunday. Shots were fired on the golf course after Secret Service agents identified a muzzle aimed at Trump through the fence line at Trump’s golf course. The shooter fled, leaving behind a Go-Pro, two backpacks, a loaded SKS-style, 7.62×39 caliber rifle with a scope, and a black plastic bag containing food.

Officials identified the gunman as 58-year-old Routh and confirmed that he was targeting President Trump.

On July 13, a shooter also came close to killing President Trump, hitting him in the ear with a bullet during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Secret Service Assured Butler, PA Law Enforcement They Would “Take Care” of Building Thomas Crooks Shot Trump From

By: Jordan Conradson — September 18th 2024 at 13:20

In a letter to acting US Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) highlights newly discovered security failures on July 13 that led to the shooting of President Trump during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

As revealed in the letter, Butler County law enforcement told Grassley’s staff in interviews that during security walkthroughs on July 11, they had “raised concerns to the Secret Service several times about securing the AGR complex buildings,” Grassley writes. “Butler County law enforcement officials said they told the Secret Service counter sniper that they didn’t have the manpower to cover the AGR complex buildings and asked that the whole area be ‘locked down’ and to not let people in that area because, based on their knowledge of that area, they believed people would gather there to see former President Trump.” 

However, in response to these concerns, two Secret Service agents said, “We will take care of it.”

The Senator asks Rowe if the representations made by local law enforcement are accurate and what actions the Secret Service took to secure the area. He also asks for additional records and reiterates previous requests, which remain unfulfilled, by September 24.

Grassley’s letter also highlights the Secret Service’s refusal to provide requested information on August 19 and September 4, 202, calling it “unacceptable” and notifying Rowe that the denial “fails to take into consideration Congress’s constitutional authority to conduct independent oversight.” Grassley continues, “It also flies in the face of your congressional testimony about responding to Congress.”

Due to Rowe’s failure to disclose and provide information, Grassley writes, “I’ve had to go around the Secret Service to get answers.”

On July 13, Trump was shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks while speaking in Butler, Pennsylvania. One rallygoer was killed in the shooting, and two were injured. Crooks fired the shot on top of a nearby building, where Secret Service counter snipers had a clear view of the shooter from their position at a higher elevation than the shooter behind Trump, yet they did not act. Crooks accessed the building with a ladder he bought at Home Depot the same day as the shooting.

Additionally, as The Gateway Pundit reported, an eyewitness told the BBC that several people witnessed the shooter crawling on the roof of a local building with a rifle before Trump was shot, but they did not act until Trump was shot. According to later reports, a police officer encountered the shooter on the roof but let him go after he pointed the gun at him and before he shot Trump.

Investigations into the matter have left more questions than answers. For example, former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle’s excuse for leaving the building unmonitored by agents was that the building “has a sloped roof at its highest point” and it wouldn’t be safe.

Grassley’s investigation into the July 13 assassination attempt also extends to the recently foiled assassination plot by 46-year-old Pakistani national Asif Merchant and the second attempted Trump assassination in West Palm Beach last weekend

The second attempt on President Trump’s life came as Trump was golfing on the 5th hole of his West Palm Beach resort with real estate investor Steve Witkoff on Sunday. Shots were fired on the golf course after Secret Service agents identified a muzzle aimed at Trump through the fence line at Trump’s golf course. The shooter fled, leaving behind a Go-Pro, two backpacks, a loaded SKS-style, 7.62×39 caliber rifle with a scope, and a black plastic bag containing food.

Officials identified the gunman as 58-year-old Routh and confirmed that he was targeting President Trump.

BREAKING: Explosive Device Reportedly Discovered Near Trump Rally in Uniondale, New York After Second Trump Assassination Attempt – Suspect in “Suspicious Occurrence” in Custody

By: Jordan Conradson — September 18th 2024 at 09:34

Police have reportedly discovered an “explosive device” in a car near President Trump’s rally venue in Uniondale, New York tonight.

According to Nassau County Police Department sources, “During K9, doing their checks, they found an explosive device in one of the vehicles and that driver ended up running into the woods.” Another source from the department confirmed this, investigative reporter James Lalino told The Gateway Pundit.

Per James Lalino:

Sources in the Nassau County Police Department just told me that “the perimeter was breached and a blue barrel was removed” from the area surrounding tonight’s Trump rally site.

Source said “During K9, doing their checks, they found an explosive device in one of the vehicles and that driver ended up running into the woods. No one saw if he had anything on him, they just saw him take off running. A lot of cars are now parking, they’re lining up on Hempstead Turnpike, just parking on the grass. Even over at Eisenhower Park, they’re just parking over there.”

Sources in the Nassau County Police Department just told me that “the perimeter was breached and a blue barrel was removed” from the area surrounding tonight’s Trump rally site.

Per Daily Mail, a Nassau County Police Department spokesperson confirmed that “there was a suspicious occurrence” near the rally on Wednesday.

Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder, however, has released a statement claiming the reports are “unfounded” but confirming someone has been detained for questioning. “Reports of explosives being found at the site are unfounded. There is a person who is being questioned who may have been training a bomb detection dog near the site. The individual with the bomb dog falsely reported explosives being found and that individual is currently being detained by police,” the statement reads.

This raises the question, why would someone be training a bomb detection dog near the rally site? And why was someone taken into custody?

Clearly, something happened, though, details and the official narrative are still unclear at this time.

The commissioner “went on to blame a suspect with a ‘self-trained bomb-detecting dog’ for sounding the alarm about explosives near the rally site,” Daily Mail reports. The department has further claimed that the unidentified suspect in custody was a civilian and not a member of law enforcement.

This comes after the second attempt on Trump’s life in two months. Shots were fired at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach on Sunday as President Trump was golfing on the 5th hole with real estate investor Steve Witkoff.

Officials later confirmed that the gunman, identified as 58-year-old Routh, targeted President Trump. However, it was unclear if the shots that were heard came from the gunman or the Secret Service shooting at the suspect before he was able to discharge his weapon. However, Trump said that the Secret Service agents shot first at the shooter’s barrel in the bushes.

On July 13, a shooter came close to killing President Trump, hitting him in the ear with a bullet during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

President Trump is scheduled to speak at 7 pm ET.

Thousands are already lined up to see the President speak in the deep blue state of New York.

The Trump campaign shared:

President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will deliver remarks at a rally in Uniondale, New York on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 7:00PM EST. 

Nassau County is reeling from the harmful effects of the dangerously liberal policies championed by Kamala Harris and Democrats like Eric Adams. Since Kamala took office, the average New York household has been forced to spend an additional $27,387, including $4,118 more on food, $4,656 on shelter, $3,882 on energy, and $8,621 on transportation. These disastrous economic policies are draining the bank accounts of hardworking New Yorkers.

Nassau County has also felt the dangerous effects of Kamala Harris’ open border bloodbath. The flood of illegal immigrants into nearby “sanctuary,” New York City has unleashed crime and chaos into their community. 

In February, an illegal migrant who crossed the border last November brutally attacked a homeowner in Hempstead. In 2023, police arrested eight men from South America in connection with a series of break-ins targeting homes and businesses across Nassau County. The safety of our neighborhoods is being compromised, and it’s clear that Kamala’s reckless immigration policies are putting New Yorkers at risk.

President Trump’s message to Nassau County is simple and built on his winning record: If you want to return to the strongest economy in over 60 years, rising wages, quality jobs, strong borders, and safe neighborhoods, then vote for the Trump-Vance ticket.

This is a developing story…

Massive “ERROR” in Arizona Validates Nearly 100,000 Voter Registrations Without Verifying Citizenship — Issue Has Existed for 20 YEARS

By: Jordan Conradson — September 18th 2024 at 08:00

A so-called error in the Arizona Motor Vehicle Department’s (MVD) system, which provides driver’s license information to the state’s voter registration system for citizenship verification, has caused 97,000 voter registrations to be approved without verifying citizenship.

This has apparently been happening for 20 years and was somehow not discovered until now.

This comes just days before military and overseas ballots are set to be mailed out on Thursday. Early ballots will be sent to voters across the state on October 9.

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer announced on Tuesday that his office is suing the Secretary of State’s office after discovering a loophole in the state’s voter registration system that, Richer says, for 20 years has allowed individuals who received a driver’s license before 1996 to vote without citizenship verification.

The issue has existed since 2004, when Arizona began requiring documentary proof of citizenship to vote. Licenses issued before Arizona required proof of citizenship to drive in 1996, regardless of citizenship status, showed as proof of citizenship on file with the MVD.

“If a driver received a license prior to 1996, he did not have a documented proof of citizenship on file. But then, if he got a duplicate license (e.g. in the case of losing a license), the issuance date would be updated in the statewide voter registration’s interface with MVD,” Richer said.

“The number is about 97,000 registrants across the state.” According to the lawsuit, “there are 53,445 Affected Voters in Maricopa County.”

Later today, my office (@RecordersOffice) is suing the Secretary’s office (@AZSecretary) regarding how to handle certain voters who need to provide documented proof of citizenship.

Since 2004, Arizona has been the only state in the country to require that a voter provide…

— Stephen Richer—MaricopaCountyRecorder (prsnl acct) (@stephen_richer) September 17, 2024

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs said in a statement, “After Recorder Richer brought an erroneous voter registration record to my attention, my team identified and fixed an administrative error that originated in 2004, and affects longtime residents who received a driver’s license before 1996. As soon as I became aware of the problem, I directed MVD to work with the SOS to aggressively develop and implement a solution and, out of an abundance of caution, will be implementing an independent audit to ensure that MVD systems are functioning as necessary to support voter registration. I’m proud of MVD for their hard work implementing a fix to this problem in record time.”

After a closer look, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said that his office found close to 98,000 registrants whose citizenship went unchecked, AZ Capitol Times reports.

Notably, this comes after the US Supreme Court ruled that a voter registration law requiring proof of citizenship on state registration forms to vote in local elections will go into effect ahead of the 2024 election. Voters who use the federal voter registration form are still allowed to vote in federal elections, an issue that the SAVE Act would have solved had Democrats not blocked the legislation in the Senate.

US Supreme Court Upholds Arizona’s Law Requiring Proof of Citizenship to Register to Vote

Richer's lawsuit challenges Secretary of State Fontes' position that the voters should be eligible to vote in all elections on the full ballot and not be limited to a "Federal Only" ballot without providing proof of citizenship as required by law.

ABC Debate Moderator Linsey Davis in First Anchor Appearance Since Rigged Debate Ties Trump Assassination Attempt to “Baseless Rumors” About Immigrants Eating Pets

By: Jordan Conradson — September 17th 2024 at 15:40

Kamala Harris’s sorority sister, Linsey Davis, made a return to the air, anchoring ABC’s World News Tonight on Sunday for the first time since moderating the rigged Presidential debate between President Trump and Kamala Harris.

Shots were fired at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach on Sunday as President Trump was golfing on the 5th hole with real estate investor Steve Witkoff. Officials later confirmed that the gunman, identified as 58-year-old Routh, targeted President Trump. However, it was unclear if the shots that were heard came from the gunman or the Secret Service shooting at the suspect before he was able to discharge his weapon.

This is the second attempt on President Trump’s life since July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania. Notably, both attempted assassinations occurred closely following a presidential debate.

After Trump administered a career-ending thrashing against Biden on the debate stage in the first presidential debate on June 27, 2024, he was nearly assassinated while speaking at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, about two weeks later on July 13. When this failed, Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential election eight days later on July 21, leaving many questions.

On September 10, Trump faced off against Kamala Harris in a rigged debate and still overcame her, despite extreme bias, conflict of interest, and possible cheating from ABC moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir and the Harris campaign. Now, just five days later, as the debate is under heavy scrutiny and investigation by members of Congress, we have another attempt on President Trump’s life.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the leftist media didn’t waste any time, in a coordinated fashion, blaming Trump’s accurate rhetoric about savage immigrants eating cats, dogs, and other animals for the attempted assassination.

Linsey Davis continued to push this narrative, tying Trump’s rhetoric to the incident on Sunday.

But Ryan Routh wasn’t just some disgruntled leftist madman enticed by the media’s coverage of Trump and his statements or by the Democrats’ violence-inciting rhetoric. Routh was, in fact, an extreme leftist, discovered to have donated 19 times exclusively to Democrats since 2019 and had a Biden Harris bumper sticker on his truck.

However, as The Gateway Pundit reported, Routh had previous contact with law enforcement with over 100 charges, including charges for possessing a weapon of mass destruction in 2002, affiliations with Ukraine’s international legion, where he alleges that he was working to move recruits for the war effort into Ukraine illegally from Pakistan and Iran, and wrote a book, where he urged Iran to assassinate President Trump in 2023. Routh also made several contacts with mainstream media outlets over the years.

JUST-IN: Is Trump’s Would be Assassin Ryan Routh an Associate of MSNBC Terrorism Analyst Malcolm Nance With Ukrainian Ties Mentioned in NY Times Article?

How did another armed gunman get within killing distance from Trump, who is supposed to have heightened security after the July 13 incident in Butler, Pennsylvania?

In the clip below, Davis not so subtly pivots from the second Trump assassination attempt into alleged threats in Ohio "following the baseless rumors that Asian immigrants have been eating pets" in an effort to downplay the severity of the incident and blame Trump for the attempt on his life, which she further downplayed as a “threat against the former president.”

Is this just a distraction from the curiosity of the assassination attempts, or do these deranged people actually believe Trump's rhetoric is driving people to somehow sneak past his security and murder him?

WATCH:

Davis: Tonight, breaking news as we come on the air. Shots fired at Donald Trump's golf club in Florida as the former president was nearby. The Secret Service opening fire after spotting a man with an assault-style rifle. One suspect is now in custody. The former president is safe. The details just coming in from West Palm Beach. The Secret Service treating this as a threat against the former president. Agents have detained a suspect and have recovered a weapon. This comes two months after the former president survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Pierre Thomas and Maryalice Parks lead tonight's coverage. Also tonight, Springfield, Ohio on edge. Local schools are being threatened with violence and a college shuts down activities after threats were made following the baseless rumors that Asian immigrants have been eating pets. Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance defends spreading those claims. The Ohio governor calls the rumors "garbage," and says the immigrants are here to work.

CNN Rebukes Trump for Crediting Violent “Communist Left Rhetoric” and Criminal Allegations for Attempts on His Life (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — September 17th 2024 at 11:30

CNN cried foul on Monday, reacting to President Trump’s statements calling out the Democrats and liberal media’s rhetoric for fueling the increasing political extremism on the left and assassination attempts against Trump.

All the while, Trump continues to be attacked and blamed for the attempts on his life for accurately stating that immigrants in Ohio are terrorizing communities and eating pets.

Instead of reporting on this bombshell story, the liberal media is pushing their globalist open-borders narrative and using it to blame Trump for the violence against him.

Fake News pundits and Democrats were quick to jump on Trump’s “increasingly fierce rhetoric” relating to Haitian immigrants immediately after the second assassination attempt, appearing to imply that Trump deserves to be shot.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump made a scathing social media post on Monday, commenting, “The Rhetoric, Lies, as exemplified by the false statements made by Comrade Kamala Harris during the rigged and highly partisan ABC Debate, and all of the ridiculous lawsuits specifically designed to inflict damage on Joe’s, then Kamala’s, Political Opponent, ME, has taken politics in our Country to a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust.”

He continued, “Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse!”

Trump Appears To Blame “Comrade Kamala Harris” and Dirty Media For Assassination Attempt Against Him: “Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying!”

Trump further said in a Fox News interview, "Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at," calling the left "the real threat."

But this did not sit well with the leftwing media, who peddle the same violence-inciting rhetoric against Trump.

As NewsBusters Associate Editor Nicholas Fondacaro writes, "For years now, the liberal media and the Democratic Party have been engaging in stochastic terrorism against former President Trump through claims that he’s literally Hitler, a “threat to Democracy,” etc.

They’ve even blamed his rhetoric for certain things happening in America, but when Trump blamed the rhetoric coming from the White House and the Democratic ticket, on Monday, for the two assassination attempts, the cast of CNN News Central clutched their pearls and decried the notion."

Republican strategist Erin Perrine joined the conversation on CNN and blamed both sides for the extreme rhetoric that led to two attempts on Trump's life in two months, specifically calling for Trump to end the "rhetoric has led to two attempts to kill" him.

Sanchez: Today, former President Donald Trump is pointing the finger at President Biden and Vice President Harris, blaming them for the apparent assassination attempt against him.

Keilar: In his first interview since the incident, Trump told Fox News that, quote, “Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at,” before adding, “they are the real threat.”

We're joined now by Erin Perrine. She is a former press communications director for Donald Trump's 2020 campaign and a Republican strategist for Axiom Strategies. We're also joined by Tim Hogan. He is a Democratic strategist and former spokesperson for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign.

I wonder Erin, you're hearing what Trump is saying here. What questions, concerns is this raising for you?

Perrine: I think ultimately, everybody needs to remember that crazy doesn't know a political party or ideology. There is extreme rhetoric on both sides of the political spectrum, and everybody needs to accept a little bit of culpability and responsibility for what becomes inflamed rhetoric in this country. But to be clear, this isn't a Republican or Democrat issue. This is an American issue.

We should be treating it like that for President Trump, right now, I think his best course of action would be to be a bit more like he was—this is really hard to believe I'm saying—after his first assassination attempt, where he was much more unifying.

If people want to try and make this political, let other people do that. Be the leader the country needs at a time where this rhetoric has led to two attempts to kill Donald Trump. Everybody needs to take cooler heads. The world will not end. This country will not end and cease to exist as a democracy if Kamala Harris wins or if Donald Trump wins.

VILE: Hillary Clinton Joins Rachel Maddow One Day After Assassination Attempt Calls Trump “a Danger to Our Country and World,” Calls to Jail Americans for Posting “Propaganda”

By: Jordan Conradson — September 17th 2024 at 11:00

Hillary Clinton joined the Rachel Maddow show on Monday, one day after the second assassination attempt on President Trump in two months, and ramped up the hateful rhetoric that led to violent leftists trying to kill the Republican frontrunner.

Shots were fired at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach on Sunday as President Trump was golfing on the 5th hole with real estate investor Steve Witkoff. Officials later confirmed that the gunman, identified as 58-year-old Routh, targeted President Trump. However, it was unclear if the shots that were heard came from the gunman or the Secret Service shooting at the suspect before he was able to discharge his weapon.

Hillary Clinton did not even condemn the violence against Trump before jumping on the attack and calling him a “danger to our country and the world.”

Rachel Maddow, in a scathing monologue before bringing Clinton on the show, appeared to downplay the severity of the incident before jumping into a nearly 12-minute anti-Trump rant, calling him racist, racist, and comparing him to Nazis.

Hillary Clinton joined the show and called for more hateful rhetoric against Trump and a “consistent narrative” from the press “about how dangerous Trump is,” calling him a “danger to our country and the world.”

WATCH:

Clinton: I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is. You know, the late, great journalist, Terry Evans, you know, one time, said that, you know, journalists should, you know, really try to achieve objectivity. And by that, he said, I mean, they should cover the object—well, the object in this case, is Donald Trump, his demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world—and stick with it.

Moments later, Clinton repeated the debunked 2016 Russia collusion conspiracy theory and called for criminal charges against Americans engaging in what she calls “propaganda.”

WATCH:

Clinton: I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda, and whether they should be civilly or criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence.

NBC’s Lester Holt Blames Trump Assassination Attempt on “Baseless Claims About Haitian Immigrants” Who Are Eating People’s Pets (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — September 16th 2024 at 20:40

NBC host Lester Holt reacted last night to the assassination attempt on President Trump, blaming Trump for the effort by a disturbed leftist Trump-hater and seemingly implying Trump deserves to be shot for his rhetoric about Haitian immigrants.

Shots were fired at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach on Sunday as President Trump was golfing on the 5th hole with real estate investor Steve Witkoff. Officials later confirmed that the gunman, identified as 58-year-old Routh, targeted President Trump. However, it was unclear if the shots that were heard came from the gunman or the Secret Service shooting at the suspect before he was able to discharge his weapon.

Trump has recently spoken about Haitian immigrants eating people’s pets in Springfield, Ohio. This is actually happening, too, and not just in Springfield! The Gateway Pundit recently reported that investigative reporter Chris Rufo released an explosive report on Saturday with video of migrants killing and grilling cats in Dayton, Ohio.

Immediately following, on Sunday’s episode of NBC’s Nightly News, Holt wasted no time in justifying the would-be shooter’s actions, implying that Trump’s “increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail” is to blame. While saying this, NBC aired a background, which read, “NEW THREATS IN SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.”

WATCH:

Holt: Today’s apparent assassination attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail, itself. Mr. Trump and his running mate JD Vance continue to make baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in Ohio…

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk posted the video on X, commenting, “Lester Holt is saying Trump deserved to die. That’s what this is.”

Similarly, as The Gateway Pundit reported, MSNBC host Alex Witt blamed Trump, questioning whether he and his campaign needed to “tone down their rhetoric” and “violence” after the second assassination attempt in two months. Witt’s guest, Elise Jordan, agreed and said we were “back to where we started” with Trump’s rhetoric before he was nearly murdered the first time.

Blame the Victim: MSNBC Anchor Wonders If There Will Be Calls for Trump Camp to “Tone Down Their Rhetoric” Following Second Assassination Attempt in 2 Months

Former Congressman Adam Kinzinger, who claims to be a Republican but spoke at the DNC, also said that Trump pointing out that Haitans are eating people's pets is to blame for the attempts on his life.

These people are deranged.

Meanwhile, the leftist mainstream media refuses to mention the fierce and violence-inciting rhetoric from Democrats prior to the assassination attempt.

For example, hours before Secret Service stopped the gunman, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said that Donald Trump and the MAGA movement are "a threat to us domestically." On MSNBC, the night before the incident, Dr. Jacqui Lewis, a guest on MSNBC, said Trump is "exactly like Mussolini, exactly like Hitler." She concluded, "He is that guy."

In fact, the left has spent the last eight years calling for violence and the assassination of Trump.

THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE: “If I Can Do it, I’m Going to Perp Walk Your Kid” — Florida Sheriff Publishes Video “For Public Embarrassment” After Boy Arrested After Threatening Violence at School, Showing Off Arsenal (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — September 16th 2024 at 20:20

An 11-year-old boy in Volusia County, Florida, was hauled off to the county jail and publicly shamed by the County Sheriff after threatening to shoot up a school and writing a list of names and targets.

“He had written a list of names and targets. He says it was all a joke,” said Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood in social media posts. “Volusia Sheriff’s Office deputies recovered a bunch of airsoft rifles, pistols and fake ammunition along with knives, swords and other weapons he was showing off to other students in a video. For his actions, Carlo “Kingston” Dorelli (age 11) is charged with a felony (making a written threat of a mass shooting).”

Chitwood published the suspect’s mugshot and a photo of the seized weapons. He also posted a video of the suspect being booked at the jail, found below.

Carlo “Kingston” Dorelli (11) has been charged with a felony for a written threat of a mass shooting.

This comes after Sheriff Chitwood came out with a powerful message during a Saturday press conference, warning students and their parents that he would “publicly embarrass” them for such threats. In the video below, Chitwood warns students and parents that he will “perp walk” children, and for parents who knew what their kid was doing but failed to intervene, “Your ass is getting perp walked with ‘em,” he states. Chitwood also highlights that 54 threats were reported to the Fortify Florida app, used to anonymously report suspicious activity, in one day, making 207 threats this year as of Saturday.

Transcript:

Chitwood: This is absolutely out of control, and it ends now. 54 and counting tips came into Fortify Florida last night, okay? That means investigators in the school district have been running around the clock to investigate these tips, which are all turning out to be false.

So far, it’s cost $21,000 to do these investigations. We have two in custody. We have an investigation looking at one other individual. So far, this year, there have been 207 threats that have come in. We’ve arrested seven people for written threats to kill. One student, if you remember, tried to bring a loaded firearm into a Mainland football game. We’ve had 11 weapons on our campuses this year.

So, what we’re going to start doing Monday is, since parents, you don’t want to raise your kids, I’m going to start raising them. Every time we make an arrest, your kid’s photo is going to be put out there. And if I can do it, I’m going to perp walk your kid so that everybody can see what your kid’s up to.

The second point of this is, if I can, anyway, find out that a parent knew what was going on and wasn’t doing anything, your ass is getting perp walked with ‘em.

The purpose of Fortify Florida is to send in tips that we’re going to investigate because you believe something is going to happen. To keep sending in these tips over and over and over again and think it’s a big joke, and nothing’s going to happen to it, starting Monday, we’re going to have a billboard—we’re gonna have a poster out.

We’re going to show you every kid that’s been arrested and where they go to school, and then from there on out, we’re going to publicly shame them and their parents. So, parents, do your job. Don’t let Sheriff Chitwood raise your kids. This is absolutely ridiculous. Go talk to the families who have lost a loved one in a school shooting. These little knuckleheads think it’s funny? Go talk to those parents and see how funny this is. It’s not. We’re going to come and get you, and we’re going to put you out for public embarrassment.

And I know a set of parents right now that they’re looking at $11,000 each because somebody’s paying this bill.

WATCH:

On Friday, after two other students in Volusia County were arrested for online school shooting threats and charged with making written threats to kill, Chitwood announced on X, “If you post a threat to shoot up a school, our job is to ID you and track you down. You can say you’re just joking, playing around, looking for attention – you’re going to have a felony to show for it.”

This is a solid prevention tactic, unlike in the case of Apalachee High School shooter Colt Gray, who was known to the FBI, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, and local schools as early as May 2023 after anonymous tipsters revealed “online threats to commit a school shooting” accompanied by photographs of guns from an online account associated with Gray.

Sheriff Chitwood publicized the suspect's mugshot and the seized weapons in a Facebook post, vowing to "release the names and photos of juveniles who are committing these felonies, threatening our students, disrupting our schools and consuming law enforcement resources.":

As promised. We just arrested a Creekside Middle School student who made threats to commit a school shooting at Creekside or Silver Sands Middle School.

He had written a list of names and targets. He says it was all a joke.

Volusia Sheriff's Office deputies recovered a bunch of airsoft rifles, pistols and fake ammunition along with knives, swords and other weapons he was showing off to other students in a video. For his actions, Carlo "Kingston" Dorelli (age 11) is charged with a felony (making a written threat of a mass shooting).

P.S. I can and will release the names and photos of juveniles who are committing these felonies, threatening our students, disrupting our schools and consuming law enforcement resources. You can expect video coming up next.

Chitwood posted the following video on Facebook, X, and YouTube:

LISTEN: President Trump Shares Story of Second Assassination Attempt on Live X Space

By: Jordan Conradson — September 16th 2024 at 20:09

President Trump is hosting a live X space, recounting the attempt on his life while he was golfing on Sunday.

Shots were fired at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach on Sunday as President Trump was golfing on the 5th hole with real estate investor Steve Witkoff.

Officials later confirmed that the gunman, identified as 58-year-old Routh, targeted President Trump. However, it was unclear if the shots that were heard came from the gunman or the Secret Service shooting at the suspect before he was able to discharge his weapon. However, Trump said that the Secret Service agents shot first at the shooter’s barrel in the bushes.

“I would have loved to have sank that last putt, but we decided, let’s get out of here,” Trump joked.

This is the second attempt on Trump’s life in two months.

The X space began at 8 pm ET. Trump is co-hosting with cryptocurrency investor and podcast host Farokh Sarmad.

Topics of discussion range from crypto, the 2024 election, the Trump family, and the attempts on Trump’s life.

Earlier, Trump shared his personal account of the attempted shooting.

LISTEN:

Trump: I was playing golf with some of my friends. It was on a Sunday morning and very peaceful, very beautiful weather. Everything was beautiful. It was a nice place to be. And all of a sudden, we heard shots being fired in the air, and I guess probably four or five, and it sounded like bullets.

But what do I know about that? But Secret Service knew immediately it was bullets, and they grabbed me, and I think probably the other one, Steve is one of the people, Steve Witkoff, a great friend of mine, a great, great businessman from mostly New York and Florida, great businessman, and, more importantly, just a fantastic person.

So we were in the group, and everybody just–we got into the carts, and we moved along pretty, pretty good. I was with an agent, and the agent did a fantastic there was no question that we were off that course. I would have loved to have sank that last putt, but we decided, let’s get out of here.

And what the gunfire was, actually, interestingly, was a secret service agent. Barrel of an AK 47, which is a very powerful rifle, and he started shooting at the barrel, started shooting in the bushes; could only see the barrel.

How good is that, right? Could only see the barrel, based on that, he started shooting, and ran toward the target, and was shooting a lot of—I mean, those were the shots we heard.

The other one never got a shot off. And he ran across the street and grabbed his car, hopped into his truck or car, and amazingly, a civilian in that area saw something, and it looked very suspicious, and in the car, drove their car to the back of his truck of some kind, and took pictures of the license plate, gave them to the sheriff’s office.

Sheriff Bradshaw, who’s fantastic, very great Sheriff for a long time. And within a fairly short period of time, they tracked him down on the highways, pretty high speed chase, and they ended up getting him. They got him. You wouldn’t want to have somebody like that out there, you know, he dropped his gun, the AK 47, he left his gun. He left cameras behind, left a lot of things behind.

So, the agent did a fantastic job. The civilian did a phenomenal job, a woman. I mean, who would think, you could take 1000 times like that, how many people would have the brainpower to follow him, and take pictures of the back of his truck, so that they end up getting him?

And the key was the license, so they got the license, and after they had the license, you know, there’s all sorts of technology where they can literally pinpoint where this truck is. I never knew something like that existed, and they pinpointed him on the highway.

They got him with a high speed chase. So, they got him. It was amazing, so Secret Service did a great job, and I think I can say honestly, the sheriff’s office, law enforcement, everybody really did a great job.

REPORT: Would-Be Trump Shooter Ryan Routh Donated Exclusively to Democrats Since 2019

By: Jordan Conradson — September 15th 2024 at 19:20
Would-be Trump shooter Ryan Routh

Newly uncovered information about Ryan Routh, the man who planned to shoot President Trump on Sunday at his West Palm Beach golf resort, shows that he’s a long-time Democrat and has donated to several Democratic candidates, the New York Post reports.

Shots were fired at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach on Sunday as President Trump was golfing on the 5th hole with real estate investor Steve Witkoff. It was unclear if the shots that were heard came from the gunman or the Secret Service shooting at the suspect before he was able to discharge his scoped AK-47.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, per the New York Times, Routh had ties to Ukraine as a member of the International Legion, created by Ukraine for allied foreign fighters to join the war effort. Also tied to this cause is nutbag MSNBC terrorism analyst Malcolm Nance, who once called for ISIS to bomb the Trump Tower in Istanbul.

In an interview with the New York Times, Routh detailed plans to smuggle recruits for the war effort into Ukraine illegally from Pakistan and Iran, using phony passports from Pakistan.

JUST-IN: Is Trump’s Would be Assassin Ryan Routh an Associate of MSNBC Terrorism Analyst Malcolm Nance With Ukrainian Ties Mentioned in NY Times Article?

This begs the question: what ties does this deranged Trump-hating leftist have to the CIA?

Over a six-month period between September 2019 and March 2020 primary season, Routh donated dollar amounts ranging from $1 to $25 19 times, amounting to over $140.

Per New York Post:

The Hawaii man suspected in former President Donald Trump’s assassination attempt on Sunday is a long-time Democrat, donating exclusively to the party’s candidates 19 times since 2019, records show.

Between September 2019 and March 2020, Ryan Routh contributed more than $140 on the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue, Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings show.

The filings indicate he lived in Kaaawa, Hawaii, at the time of the donations. The records indicate that he was “not employed.”

While the money went to ActBlue, it was earmarked for individual 2020 Democratic presidential primary candidates including former Rep. Beto O’Rourk (D-Texas), Andrew Yang and Tom Steyer of New York and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (R-Mass.)

JUST-IN: Is Trump’s Would be Assassin Ryan Routh an Associate of MSNBC Terrorism Analyst Malcolm Nance With Ukrainian Ties Mentioned in NY Times Article?

By: Jordan Conradson — September 15th 2024 at 19:00

A New York Times report was discovered on Sunday mentioning Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, who was caught targeting Trump, armed with a scoped AK-47 rifle in West Palm Beach before shots were fired by the Secret Service.

The New York Times was actually in contact with and interviewed Routh for their article.

In an oddly coincidental Truth Social post, just hours before the attempted shooting, Trump said, “THE FAILING NEW YORK TIMES IS A TRUE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!”

The article from the Times ties the would-be shooter to nutbag MSNBC terrorism analyst Malcolm Nance, who once called for ISIS to bomb the Trump Tower in Istanbul.

In 2022, when war broke out in Ukraine, Nance traveled to Ukraine and claimed he had joined the fighting against Russia.

The New York Times editorial, titled “Stolen Valor: The U.S. Volunteers in Ukraine Who Lie, Waste and Bicker,” references the International Legion created by Ukraine for allied foreign fighters to join the war effort, which both Routh and Nance were part of.

Routh is mentioned twice in the article. He alleges that he had planned to move recruits for the war effort into Ukraine illegally from Pakistan and Iran. New York Times excerpt:

With Legion growth stalling, Ryan Routh, a former construction worker from Greensboro, N.C., is seeking recruits from among Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban. Mr. Routh, who spent several months in Ukraine last year, said he planned to move them, in some cases illegally, from Pakistan and Iran to Ukraine. He said dozens had expressed interest.

“We can probably purchase some passports through Pakistan, since it’s such a corrupt country,” he said in an interview from Washington.

It is not clear whether he has succeeded, but one former Afghan soldier said he had been contacted and was interested in fighting if it meant leaving Iran, where he was living illegally.

Nance was mentioned 12 times and reportedly used his intelligence background to relay information to Ukrainian counterintelligence. From NYT:

Malcolm Nance, a former Navy cryptologist and MSNBC commentator, arrived in Ukraine last year and made a plan to bring order and discipline to the Legion. Instead, he became enmeshed in the chaos.

Raheem Kassam first posted the report linking the two, commenting, “Birds of a feather.”

“An associate of Malcolm Nance tried to kill President Trump,” responded Jack Posobiec.

— Jack Poso (@JackPosobiec) September 15, 2024

This begs the question: was the CIA or a foreign government involved in his assassination attempt?

More information from Routh’s social media accounts shows him in Washington, DC, and Kyiv, and in one strangely worded 2020 tweet, he calls Trump “retarded.”

BREAKING.

Alleged Trump golf course attacker has been identified as Ryan Routh.

The suspect was found hiding in the bushes, armed with an AK-47 equipped with a scope, carrying two backpacks, and wearing a GoPro, according to law enforcement sources.

Additionally, Charlie Kirk posted screenshots from Routh’s X account, where he posted bizzarre tweets attempting to rally support and produce a song for Ukraine in late 2023 and early 2024 and stated that he was “in Ukraine for eight months.”

Routh’s tweets can be read below:

“It Was 3 on 1, But They Were Mentally Challenged People, Against One Person of Extraordinary Genius” – Trump Responds to ABC News Rigged Debate Investigation

By: Jordan Conradson — September 15th 2024 at 17:20

President Trump called out ABC News and his “mentally challenged” debate opponents on Saturday in response to a new investigation into the rigged September 10 debate against Kamala Harris and the biased, conflicted ABC moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) on Friday started an inquiry into ABC News and Kamala Harris’ campaign for suspected collusion in last Tuesday’s rigged presidential debate.

JUST-IN: Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) to Formally Investigate Harris Campaign and ABC for Debate Rigging

It is suspected that Kamala knew the questions in advance due to her out-of-the-ordinary, well-prepared responses.

Going into the debate, there was concern about Harris’ friendship with a Disney executive who oversees the ABC News division. It was later discovered that Kamala Harris and Linsey Davis are sorority sisters in the influential Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., a conflict of interest that was not disclosed prior to the debate. AKA formed a PAC in August after Harris became the Democrats’ presidential nominee.

Linsey Davis also revealed in a post-debate interview that she schemed with debate co-moderator David Muir and ABC to protect Kamala Harris with their one-sided mid-debate fact checks.

It was three against one. They fact-checked Trump at every turn, and they ignored all of Kamala Harris’s lies. Kamala Harris told over two dozen lies and dodged questions, but the moderators did not fact-check her. Not even once!

WATCH:

They didn't fact-check Kamala when she said, "There is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world." The troops did, though. They didn't fact-check Kamala's lie that Goldman Sachs said that Donald Trump's economic plan "would make the economy worse," but her's would "strengthen the economy." Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon did, though. They didn't fact-check Kamala on her lies about abortion, the border, the economy, Charlottesville, defunding the police, or her health care policy. All of the "fact-checking" was reserved for Trump.

After Former Clinton advisor Mark Penn called for a third party to perform an internal investigation into ABC News, ABC came out with a suspicious statement, denying that Harris had the questions in advance. "I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done by an independent party to find out to what extent they were planning on, in effect, you know, fact-checking just one candidate and in effect, rigging the outcome of this debate," said Penn on the John Solomon Reports podcast.

Trump shredded ABC News in his statement Saturday, noting that they've been "completely discredited" and asking if they gave Kamala Harris the questions in advance.

"It was 3 on 1, but they were mentally challenged people, against one person of extraordinary genius," said Trump, holding that he won, and "it wasn't even close."

ABC FAKE NEWS has been completely discredited, and is now under investigation. Did they give Comrade Kamala the questions? It was 3 on 1, but they were mentally challenged people, against one person of extraordinary genius. It wasn’t even close, as is now reflected in the polls. I WON THE DEBATE!

Kamala Harris Responds to Attempted Trump Shooting That Happened Less Than One Week After Highly Scrutinized Rigged Debate

By: Jordan Conradson — September 15th 2024 at 17:00
Screenshot: ABC News/Youtube

The White House responded to the attempted shooting of Donald Trump in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, stating that “the President and Vice President have been briefed” and “they are relieved to know that he is safe.”

Kamala Harris also released a statement on X. Joe Biden has not released a statement.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Shots were fired at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach on Sunday as President Trump was golfing on the 5th hole with real estate investor Steve Witkoff.

Officials have confirmed that the gunman targeted President Trump. However, it was unclear if the shots that were heard came from the gunman or the Secret Service shooting at the suspect before he was able to discharge his weapon.

Following the incident, President Trump said in a statement, “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL! Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me. Unity. Peace. Make America Great Again.”

“Nothing Will Slow Me Down. I Will NEVER SURRENDER” – Trump Releases Statement on Attempted Shooting

This is the second attempt on President Trump's life since July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania. Notably, both attempted assassinations occurred closely following a presidential debate.

After Trump administered a career-ending thrashing against Biden on the debate stage in the first presidential debate on June 27, 2024, he was nearly assassinated while speaking at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, about two weeks later on July 13. When this failed, Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential election eight days later on July 21, leaving many questions.

On September 10, Trump faced off against Kamala Harris in a rigged debate and still overcame her, despite extreme bias, conflict of interest, and possible cheating from the moderators and Harris' campaign. Now, just five days later, as the debate is under heavy scrutiny and investigation by members of Congress, we have another attempt on President Trump's life.

Notice a pattern?

Also, during the debate on September 10, Trump stated, "I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things they say about me." But that didn't stop the violence-inciting rhetoric.

Just two days ago, the Harris campaign pushed lies on social media, claiming that 'Trump says “nothing was done wrong' in Charlottesville in 2017 when neo-Nazis chanted 'Jews will not replace us' and killed an innocent woman."

WATCH:

This further begs the question: How did another armed gunman get within killing distance from Trump, who is supposed to have heightened security after the July 13 incident in Butler, Pennsylvania? 

"I have been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former President Trump and his property in Florida, and I am glad he is safe. Violence has no place in America," Harris said in a statement posted to X.

I have been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former President Trump and his property in Florida, and I am glad he is safe. Violence has no place in America.

— Vice President Kamala Harris (@VP) September 15, 2024

Newsweek reports,

Shortly after former President Donald Trump was deemed "safe" after shots were fired near Trump National Golf Club on Sunday, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris responded to the reported shooting.

According to the Associated Press, the White House said in a statement that Biden and Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, had both been briefed and will be kept updated on the investigation, adding that they are "relieved to know that he is safe."

"The President and Vice President have been briefed about the security incident at the Trump International Golf Course, where former President Trump was golfing. They are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team," the White House said in a statement.

Security concerns have continued to be raised as the 2024 election continues with various public and outdoor events as security around Trump has been significantly tightened, with increased measures at his public appearances, including the use of bulletproof enclosures during outdoor speeches.

“I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” – Trump Responds to Taylor Swift Endorsing Kamala Harris

By: Jordan Conradson — September 15th 2024 at 16:00

President Trump on Sunday had harsh words for pop singer Taylor Swift with a short message on Truth Social posted in all caps.

“I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”

Taylor Swift announced her endorsement of Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election on Wednesday. Notably, Swift signed off her endorsement, writing “Childless Cat Lady,” a jab at JD Vance’s previous comments about childless women influencing politics. It would be a shame if an illegal alien ate her cats…

Swift declared, “I’m voting for Kamala Harris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” thereby admitting that she believes in unchecked illegal immigration, men in women’s sports, historic inflation, increased crime rates, and war.

What an idiot.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump initially responded to the news of Taylor Swift’s announcement, telling Fox and Friends that he is “not a Taylor Swift fan” and “she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.”

Trump Fires Back at Taylor Swift After Endorsing Kamala Harris: She Will “Pay a Price in the Marketplace”

“It was just a question of time," Trump said. "She couldn’t possibly endorse Biden… But she’s a very liberal person.”

Elon Musk also chimed in, trolling the pop singer’s announcement by offering to give her a child and protect her cats.

Megyn Kelly later gave Swift a scathing rebuke, specifically over Swift's support for Tim Walz and his child sex change policies in Minnesota.

Rapper Lil Pump, who has been outspoken in his support for Trump, also joined in, posting on X, "Taylor Swift... go f*ck urself."

Taylor Swift… go fuck urself

— Lil Pump (@lilpump) September 15, 2024

Ironically for Taylor Swift, a YouGov poll found that a staggering 20 percent of voters said her endorsement would make them less likely to support Harris' campaign. Only 8% said they would be more likely to vote for Harris.

“Nothing Will Slow Me Down. I Will NEVER SURRENDER” – Trump Releases Statement on Attempted Shooting

By: Jordan Conradson — September 15th 2024 at 15:40
President Trump speaks to supporters in Wisconsin behind bullet proof glass on Sept. 7, 2024.

President Trump on Sunday evening released a statement, notifying his supporters that he is “SAFE AND WELL” and that he “will NEVER SURRENDER” after shots rang out at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

“I will always love you for supporting me,” Trump said.

This is the second attempt on President Trump’s life.

Trump sent the following email to supporters, updating everyone on his situation:

There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!

Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!

I will always love you for supporting me.

Unity. Peace. Make America Great Again.

Shots were fired at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach on Sunday as President Trump was golfing on the 5th hole with real estate investor Steve Witkoff.

Officials have confirmed that the gunman targeted President Trump. However, it was unclear if the shots that were heard came from the gunman or the Secret Service shooting at the suspect before he was able to discharge his weapon.

Trump was immediately rushed to safety, and there were no injuries reported.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the White male suspect escaped in a black vehicle, but he was later arrested in Martin County.

Sean Hannity updated viewers after the attempted shooting, saying he spoke with Trump three times in the immediate aftermath of the incident:

JUST-IN: Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) to Formally Investigate Harris Campaign and ABC for Debate Rigging

By: Jordan Conradson — September 15th 2024 at 14:40

Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) suggested on Friday that a Senate Investigation into ABC News and Kamala Harris’ campaign for suspected collusion in last Tuesday’s rigged presidential debate has begun.

It is suspected that Kamala knew the questions in advance due to her out-of-the-ordinary, well-prepared responses.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, ABC denied that Kamala Harris was given the debate questions in advance amid calls for an internal investigation into the network for debate rigging.

WATCH: “F*ck Kamala, F*ck The Democrats. They All Need to Be Locked Up for Treason” – Black Man SHREDS Kamala in Street Interview, Video Removed From TikTok

By: Jordan Conradson — September 15th 2024 at 13:00

Popular conservative influencer and street poller @shaneyyricch posted a hilarious man-on-the-street style interview with a black voter who held nothing back on Kamala Harris.

When asked who he supported for President in 2024, the man responded, ” Trump all day. Matter of fact, f*ck Kamala Harris. Matter of fact, f*ck all the Democrats.” He continued, “They all need to be locked up for treason. I’m not talking about the Democrats in the street. I’m talking about the ones in the government right now. So, I say f*ck Kamala Harris, straight up.”

He then called Kamala Harris a “fraud,” “fake,” and “phony,” comparing her to CBD weed, which lacks the psychoactive THC ingredient that gets a user high.

Asked about her policies, the man responded, ” She don’t even got a goddamn policy. The only policy she got is that hyena laugh” and bashed her for only talking about Trump and stealing his policies. “Get Trump’s d*ck out your mouth,” he exclaimed.

The Democrats are in disarray over losing the black vote, and they don’t have the policies that black people actually support. They’re too busy pushing the woke mind virus and radical LGBTQ policies on Americans.

This is why Kamala keeps busting out her fake ebonic accent and attempting to pander to black voters by acting like them:

WTH: Kamala Harris Opens Speech at Congressional Black Caucus Gala With Extra Cajun Accent and Shrieking Cackle (VIDEO)

Shaneyy posted the video on X, commenting, "TikTok just removed this video for “community guidelines” after it amassed over 1.2 million views in a short few days."

Watch below:

Shaneyy: Trump or Kamala?

Man: Oh, Trump all day. Matter of fact, f*ck Kamala Harris. Matter of fact, f*ck all the Democrats. They all need to be locked up for treason. I'm not talking about the Democrats in the street. I'm talking about the ones in the government right now. So, I say f*ck Kamala Harris, straight up.

Shaneyy: Why?

Man: Well, you know, she's a fraud, she's fake, she's phony. She’s like CBD weed. Man, I can't f*ck with that. Nah. You know. And Trump is that Zaaa. We need Trump in office, man. Word up.

Shaneyy: How do you feel about some of Kamala Harris's policies?

Man: What policies? She don't even got a goddamn policy. The only policy she got is that hyena laugh. The only policy she got is talking about Trump. Get Trump's d*ck out your mouth. All you do is talk about “Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. Get the hell out of here. You don't got no policies? You should get locked up for theft. You should get locked up for piracy because you're stealing Donald Trump’s lyrics. Get your own policies. What policies have you gave to the people? None whatsoever. You can ask a Democrat right now, what's Kamala Harris' Policies? They don't know not one!

Bruh.

HILARIOUS: “PETA’s Been Waiting Their Whole Life For This!” – Tucker Reacts to Trump’s “Eating Pets” Comment (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — September 15th 2024 at 12:00

Tucker Carlson, at an event on Friday in Kansas City, reacted to Trump’s recent comments about Haitian immigrants eating people’s pets, thanking the President and pointing out that PETA is “totally fraudulent” if they don’t endorse the first candidate in history to stand up against pet eating.

During the September 10 debate with Kamala Harris, Trump brought up the immigrants eating dogs, cats, and ducks. This caused outrage from the left.

The Democrats and the leftist media claim that this isn’t happening, even trying to fact-check President Trump mid-debate when he mentioned that “they’re eating the pets!”

Of course, they did not fact check Kamala when she blatantly lied. Only Trump was challenged by moderators for telling the truth.

ABC News debate moderator David Muir issued a mid-debate fact check against Trump, claiming that there were “no credible reports” of pets being harmed by the illegal immigrants.

CNN’s Dana Bash later chimed in, calling the claims about illegal aliens sacrificing and eating animals a “racist meme.”

However, this did not quell the concerns of real people who are witnessing animals in their neighborhoods being gutted, hung to dry, and eaten by immigrants. Additionally, investigative reporter Chris Rufo released an explosive report on Saturday with video of migrants killing and grilling cats in Dayton, Ohio.

A Chris Rufo Investigation: SHOCK VIDEO!… Migrants Caught Killing and Grilling Cats in Dayton, Ohio

They are literally eating cats--in America!

While PETA, the notoriously leftist animal rights organization, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and is supposed to be nonpartisan, Tucker quipped that "PETA’s been waiting its entire life for this!" The least they could do is join Trump in championing this newfound issue of pet eating in the United States.

Watch below:

Tucker: What Trump said about people eating pets. And there were two levels on which to enjoy this. Well, the first one, I literally enjoyed it. People were like, ‘I can't believe Donald Trump accused people of eating pets!’ I was like, ‘I love him.' It's just hilarious. Who would ever say that?

‘They’re eating all the pets!’ So great. Thank you, Donald Trump. That was awesome because, first of all, it makes all the right people mad—like anyone getting red in the face over pet eating. 'That's not true. That's never happened. No one's ever eaten a pet!’ Okay, you just outed yourself. You're a liar.

So that's the first thing. The second thing is, now we're talking about eating pets, and so, now that we are, let me just count myself as opposed. Note that if PETA doesn't endorse Trump in the next 24 hours, they're totally fraudulent. I'm serious! People have run for president in this country since the 1780s has any presidential candidate ever taken an unequivocal stand against pet eating? None! PETA’s been waiting its entire life for this, and they still won't endorse.

DEI: “The Future of Naval Warfare Starts Here” – First Coed Submarine Joins Navy Fleet (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — September 15th 2024 at 11:20

The U.S. Navy on Saturday commissioned the first coed submarine in history, making a big stride for DEI in our armed forces.

It begs the question: Does this make us more prepared for World War III?

“USS New Jersey (SSN 796) is now commissioned and ready for service! The Navy’s latest Virginia-class submarine joins the fleet. Watch the video to learn more about the Navy’s newest sub,” the U.S. Navy announced on X.

“As the USS New Jersey sets sail, it marks a historic milestone, not just for its cutting-edge capabilities, but for what it represents,” a voiceover in the video below says.

“The first fully integrated submarine built for both male and female sailors, a testament to the strength that diversity brings to our Navy. Side by side, men and women will operate this vessel, united in purpose, skill and determination.”

The narrator continues, “USS New Jersey isn’t just a powerhouse beneath the waves. It’s a symbol of progress, breaking barriers as it protects our shores.”

“The future of naval warfare starts here, and it’s more inclusive, stronger, and more capable than ever.”

— U.S. Navy (@USNavy) September 14, 2024

“New Jersey is representative of the future of the Submarine Force, and integrating this boat is a long time coming,” says one woman, dressed in the Naval Working Uniform.

“The 100-year history of submarines, it is an honor that we are the first to have this slice of that particular narrative.”

Another woman, who appears to be a sailor, states, “This is really the first time that the Navy is truly planning for the future regarding manning and taking advantage of the entire population for finding those rare humans that can be and should be submariners.”

The ship is modified to separate submariners by sex and accommodations for women, including lower overhead valves and steps in front of beds and tall laundry machines.

 

NBC reports,

Modifications aboard the ship included more doors and washrooms to install separated sleeping and bathing areas for the coed crew, Stars and Stripes, an outlet that provides news for U.S. military members, reported.

Other modifications include lowering overhead valves and making them easier to turn, and installing steps in front of triple-high bunk beds and stacked laundry machines.

The changes to the ship’s design were made to accommodate the growing number of women who join the Navy as submariners, Stars and Stripes reported. According to the outlet, The Navy has seen the number of female officers double and enlisted sailors in the submarine force triple in the last five years.

Currently there are in excess of 60,000 enlisted women serving in the U.S. Navy, according to Women in the Navy.com. As of August, 730 women were assigned to operational submarines, Stars and Stripes reported.

CNN Turns on Harris, Says Campaign Social Media Has “Repeatedly Deceived” Followers With Misleading Out-of-Context Video Edits and Captions

By: Jordan Conradson — September 15th 2024 at 10:20
Kamala Harris in Johnstown, Pennsylvania

CNN came out with an extremely rare fact check of the Democrats after reviewing the Kamala Harris campaign’s social media account @KamalaHQ and determining that they “repeatedly” deceive voters with propaganda.

You know it’s bad when Democrat propaganda network, CNN, calls out lies from the Democrats. And it’s not the first time this has happened recently.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, during CNN’s Wednesday episode of “News Night with Abby Phillip,” the panelists shot Phillip down after lying about Harris’s record on fracking. “That’s not true!” they yelled simultaneously:

Watch: Panel Turns on CNN Host Live On-Air After She Lies About Kamala’s Fracking Position – ‘That’s Not True!’

CommunityNotesFTW, a non-affiliated X account that celebrates real fact checks on leftist disinformation, also highlighted how the Harris campaign account has abused community notes "over and over" to try and discredit accurate information.

The account @KamalaHQ has had community notes proposed over and over and are rarely found helpful. I'd love to do an analysis of this account, but need to have the "tweet author ID" associated with the account. "Tweet author ID" is not currently available in the CN data download.… https://t.co/sGSWbpPEtI

— CommunityNotesFTW (@CNsFTW) September 15, 2024

CNN reports,

WashingtonCNN — A social media account run by Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has been repeatedly deceptive.

The @KamalaHQ account, which has more than 1.3 million followers on the X social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has made a habit of misleadingly clipping and inaccurately captioning video clips to attack former President Donald Trump.

The Harris campaign deploys @KamalaHQ as a kind of irreverent attack dog, using jocular posts to draw attention to controversial, incorrect, or dubious comments by Trump and his allies. But the account, which the Harris campaign calls its “official rapid response page,” has itself made inaccurate comments on multiple occasions.

Below are eight examples of false or misleading video posts from the account since mid-August, including three from the latter part of this week. All of them have previously been highlighted by an anonymous rebuttal account called @KamalaHQLies, which itself has more than 268,000 followers.

CNN used the following examples of misleading posts from Kamala HQ:

On August 17, the account implied that Trump did not know what state he was in, pointing to his left and asking, "Would that be okay, North Carolina?" while speaking in Pennsylvania. In a similar Instagram post, the caption read, "Trump is lost and confused."

Trump: Would that be okay, North Carolina?

(He is in Pennsylvania) pic.twitter.com/TcymR609Rg

— Kamala HQ (@KamalaHQ) August 17, 2024

However, as CNN notes, earlier in Trump's speech, he had pointed to his left to acknowledge his supporters who traveled from North Carolina, and he later gave them another shout-out in the clip referenced by @KamalaHQ.

 On September 12, the Harris campaign did it again, claiming Trump was lost on the campaign trail while speaking in Arizona.

In the clip below, Trump says, "Pennsylvania, remember this when you have to go to vote. Just remember this: 2,000% increase..." which the X account uses to imply he's lost. Again, the @kamalahq Instagram account used the same clip but added text over the video, explicitly stating, "Trump forgets which state he is in (again)." The Instagram caption read, "He is rapidly declining."

Trump: “Pennsylvania, remember this when you have to go to vote”

(He is in Arizona) pic.twitter.com/lMEJwwvQ3I

— Kamala HQ (@KamalaHQ) September 12, 2024

CNN accurately reported that "the Harris campaign clipped out critical context." While speaking about immigration in Arizona, Trump mentioned that a town in Pennsylvania “experienced a 2,000% increase in the population of Haitian migrants under Kamala Harris.” He then reminded the viewers in Pennsylvania to "remember this when you have to go to vote."

Unlike Kamala, Trump has a nationwide audience with millions watching every speech he delivers, and he uses his platform to speak to the country.

The Harris campaign declined CNN's request for comment on both of these lies.

On September 13, the Harris campaign reprised the Charlottesville hoax, claiming Trump said "nothing was done wrong" in Charlottesville with a deceptively edited clip.

Trump says “nothing was done wrong” in Charlottesville in 2017 when neo-Nazis chanted “Jews will not replace us” and killed an innocent woman pic.twitter.com/rQEuzPp3KP

— Kamala HQ (@KamalaHQ) September 13, 2024

In Trump's full statement, which was edited by the Harris campaign, Trump clarified that he was not saying that the demonstrators in Charlottesville did nothing wrong. Instead, Trump said that he did nothing wrong in his comments following the 2017 Charlottesville demonstration, where he said there were "very fine people on both sides" while condemning the violence and bad actors in the crowd.

While speaking about the biased September 10 debate moderators and their numerous one-sided fact-checks against him mid-debate, Trump remarked, "I think [David Muir] corrected me 11 times. Of the 11 times, I don’t think he had the right to correct me at all. Didn’t correct her once. Like on Project 2025, I have no idea about — had nothing to do with me, he didn’t correct her, he knew that. Charlottesville — nothing was done wrong. All you had to do is read my statement one more sentence and you would’ve seen that. Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Jesse, all of them, they — Greg Gutfeld — they all took that and they corrected it many times. But they keep coming with the same lies.”

The Harris campaign doubled down on this post, ignoring the fact that Trump condemned the violence and Neo-Nazis in Charlottesville and telling CNN, “He’s saying he did ‘nothing wrong’ in relation to him saying ‘very fine people’ who did what is described in the tweet.”

On September 12, @KamalaHQ lied about JD Vance's comments regarding veterans' health care.

When asked if Vance would "consider privatizing veterans health care," Vance responded, "I think I'd consider it, and Donald Trump was really good at this--he doesn't get enough credit for this particular innovation--giving veterans more choice, right? Let's say you're in a rural hospital, your closest VA is 120 miles away, why force a veteran to drive two and a half hours to that VA facility when he can get cheaper and good care right in his backyard? So, I do think that we ought to open up choice and optionality for veterans. I think that there is areas where the VA works very well, so I wouldn't say get rid of the whole thing. I would say give people more choice. I think you'll save money in the process, you'll also give veterans a lot more optionality."

But Kamala HQ cut out all but two seconds of Vance's response to the question:

Q: Would you consider privatizing veterans health care?

Vance: I think I’d consider it pic.twitter.com/wmjJq59vNJ

— Kamala HQ (@KamalaHQ) September 12, 2024

Ignoring the misleading implications of the post, the Harris campaign told CNN in an email, “Vance is suggesting he would consider privatizing VA functions. This is not misleading. Our caption does not say ‘the whole VA health system.’”

On August 30, the Harris campaign used a seven-second clip to claim that "Trump plans to bring back laws from 100+ years ago" and push a narrative by referencing Project 2025, which Trump has denounced despite the good ideas found in the proposal.

Trump says he plans to bring back laws from 100+ years ago, echoing Project 2025: “We don’t pass laws like that. They are tough” pic.twitter.com/mVhcZV1lqS

— Kamala HQ (@KamalaHQ) August 30, 2024


However, in the full clip, Trump did not even mention Project 2025. Instead, Trump was speaking about a law that would dish out 10-year prison sentences for vandalizing monuments.

The Harris campaign again ignored the lies in their post and defended the claim, telling CNN, “Trump’s entire platform is about embracing ‘tough’ policy of the past.”

On September 5, the Harris campaign posted a 12-second clip of Trump and misrepresented his comments about an expansion of Trump tax cuts as "handouts for the ultra-wealthy."

Trump tells his wealthy donors he is going to make his tax handouts for the ultra-wealthy “permanent” and cut their taxes “even more” pic.twitter.com/nUEtbRUE8n

— Kamala HQ (@KamalaHQ) September 5, 2024

The account clipped out the part where Trump explained that his plan to cut taxes more was eliminating tax on tips and social security benefits and misrepresented his 2017 tax cuts, which benefitted all Americans.

The Harris campaign claimed the "no tax on tips and Social Security were not new.”

On August 30, the Harris campaign posted a five-second clip and lied about JD Vance's comments on Unions. 

Vance said in a speech to the International Association of Fire Fighters union, “A lot of Democrats want to attack Republicans as being anti-union, and sometimes the shoe fits — but not me, and not Donald Trump” and continued to speak on his accomplishments for firefighters and his plan to fight for them as Vice President. However, @KamalaHQ clipped all but five seconds of his speech to make it appear the Trump administration will be anti-union and anti-firefighter.

— Kamala HQ (@KamalaHQ) August 29, 2024

@KamalaHQLies on X corrected the record in a comment, noting that "JD Vance clearly says Trump supports the firefighter union but KamalaHQ cut that part out," and "KamalaHQ conveniently cut the video short to hide what JD Vance really said."

THE LIE: Kamala HQ shares a deceptive clip of JD Vance to misconstrue JD Vance’s comments on the firefighter union.

KamalaHQ conveniently cut the video short to hide what JD… pic.twitter.com/ARKv5rzXl2

Questioned by CNN, the Harris campaign said it was a “direct quote of JD Vance.”

WTH: Kamala Harris Opens Speech at Congressional Black Caucus Gala With Extra Cajun Accent and Shrieking Cackle (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — September 15th 2024 at 09:00

Is Kamala drunk again?

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris keynoted the Congressional Black Caucus’s Phoenix Awards dinner last night, and Kamala went all in with her fake ebonics and a joyous blush.

This is nothing new. Kamala changes her accent depending on the crowd and area she is speaking in every appearance.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, you can hear her speak the same line in Detroit and Pittsburgh on the same day, sounding like two different people.

WATCH: Kamala in Detroit vs Kamala in Pittsburgh: Kamala Harris’s Bizarre Urban Accent Disappears as She Delivers SAME LINE to Pittsburgh Voters!

Upon taking the stage, Kamala couldn't stop cackling like a hyena with her ridiculous mouth-wide-open smile and heavy emphasis on her accent.

WATCH:

After the interruption, Kamala continued cackling as she said, "Hello to all my divine nine, brothas and sistas, and my sorors and to all my HBCU brothas and sistas," a nod to the HBCU 'divine nine' fraternities and sororities.

WATCH:

The pandering didn't stop there. Next, she introduced Rep. Hakeem Jefferies (D-NY) as the next Speaker of the House and gave a nod to rapper Notorious B.I.G., seemingly to pander harder.

"I also want to thank Hakeem Jeffries, who will be the next Speaker of the House. Yes, he will. And nobody knows how to quote Biggie better than Hakeem," she said.

WATCH:

Near the end of her approximately nine-minute speech, Kamala, sounding like the proud, strong black woman she portrays to be, Harris defiantly told pro-life Americans to pound sand and vowed to sign a bill legalizing abortion into law under the guise of "reproductive freedoms."

WATCH:

Harris: we will continue to fight for the freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government telling her what to do, because we here know one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her what to do. And CBC, when you pass a bill to restore reproductive freedoms, as President of the United States, I will proudly sign it into law.

WATCH: Ben Bergquam Shows Cartel Campsites and Massive Wall Opening Where Illegals Cross Border with Help From Government Funded Organizations in Tucson, Arizona

By: Jordan Conradson — September 15th 2024 at 08:00

Real America’s Voice correspondent Ben Bergquam released more footage of cartel campsites showing how easy it is to transport illegals into the US at the southern border in Tucson, Arizona. 

These are Border Czar Kamala Harris’ new voters, and she’s not going to do anything to stop them.

In the video below, Bergquam shows the massive gap in the wall that is used by human smugglers and illegals to cross the border. “I guarantee you, those guys are coming right over to this spot, the way they’re going out. They left at the end of the wall, and they’re coming back to this opening that Kamala and Joe have left open for four years,” says Bergquam as illegals walk through the desert.

Bergquam also noted that the leftist organizations funded by Pima County, Arizona, such as No More Deaths, leave water for the aliens and provide safehouses for them once in the US.

Bergquam: “They’re coming right through here, right up there, and this all, both of these trails where the drug traffickers are going, where the human traffickers are going, all of them lead directly to No More Deaths. Some of them split off and get picked up. They got cars waiting for them. Some of them continue on, go all the way up to Tucson. Some of them go right through no more deaths, get aided and abetted by an American nonprofit organization that’s working to undermine American sovereignty that is partially funded by Pima County. Right now”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Bergquam released part one of his expose on the leftist organizations in Arizona aiding and abetting the cartel’s human smuggling operation.

Watch here:

Ben Bergquam of Real America’s Voice Exposes Cartel Trails, Water Stations Set Up By the Left to Assist Illegal Crossings (VIDEO)

Bergquam also filmed the cartel smugglers at their tents and multiple checkpoints, just waiting to cross over the border.

"These guys are just waiting. They're gonna be coming over," Bergquam says while filming the operation from his drone. "You got the cartel Scout, you got the lookout in the red shirt, and you got the camouflage guys right there. It's all connected. So if one route doesn't work, they move to the next one, and they're gonna be coming right down here, right through this wash."

"If I stay in one place too long, they'll probably take a shot at me," he added.

Watch below:

Bergquam: It's all right there, and guaranteed our border patrol knows about it, guaranteed the Mexican military knows about it, guaranteed the politicians in Arizona that are getting paid off know about it. If they cared, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden would know about it, and they're doing nothing. And that's where they're getting their money from. This is where they're getting their money from, right here, and they've left that hole in the wall for four years knowing full well these guys were operating right here.

And the reason they're there is because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have left us unsecured. Four years, they've left this open, and they've left the wall unfinished. Four years. And now they want you to believe that they're going to fix it. They are the cancer. They are the cancer

Breaking!!! And it just gets worse! Second set of cartel bunkers at the hole in the wall south of Tucson, Arizona with multiple cartel insurgents waiting to invade America. Kamala and Joe did this. Please, please, please share this and tag anyone who can help expose them and the… pic.twitter.com/gbhNNWdcbP

FAKE NEWS: Liar Anderson Cooper Airs Parody Account’s Edited Photo of Trump Looking Fatter Than Chris Christie (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — September 14th 2024 at 20:40

CNN host Anderson Cooper on Friday aired an image of President Trump and Laura Loomer that was edited to make Trump’s body look 200 lbs heavier.

The full segment attacking Trump and Loomer over her support for the President can be found here. Of course, they probably won’t retract the obviously fake image or apologize for misleading viewers.

A self-proclaimed “parody” account that goes by the name Liam Nissan™ on X first posted the image on X:

WATCH: “Screw You Taylor Swift!” – Megyn Kelly DESTROYS Taylor Swift for Endorsing Tim Walz’s State Custody of Minors and Child Sex Change Procedures

By: Jordan Conradson — September 14th 2024 at 18:40

Megyn Kelly absolutely went off on Taylor Swift while speaking at an event with Tucker Carlson in Kansas City on Friday, calling her out for endorsing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz’s harmful, radical agenda.

The former Fox and NBC host slammed Swift for mentioning her support of Tim Walz’s LGBTQ policies, which are taking children away from their parents and sterilizing them with puberty blockers and sex change surgeries.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Taylor Swift announced her endorsement of Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election earlier this week. Notably, Swift signed off her endorsement, writing “Childless Cat Lady,” a jab at JD Vance’s previous comments about childless women influencing politics. It would be a shame if an illegal alien ate her cats…

Swift declared, “I’m voting for Kamala Harris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” thereby admitting that she believes in unchecked illegal immigration, men in women’s sports, historic inflation, increased crime rates, and war.

She continued, “I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate Tim Walz who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights.” This is what led Megyn Kelly to sternly condemn the pop star with a large youth following, endorsing a policy that gives the state custody over misguided children and gives them irreversible sex change procedures.

WATCH:

Kelly: Screw you, Taylor Swift! That’s how I would like to begin. She says the reason she’s voting for Kamala Harris is because of Tim Walz’s LGBTQ stance. Do you know what Tim Walz has done on the LGBTQ front? Here’s what’s gonna happen.

A little girl is going to find herself down a rabbit hole on Reddit. Reddit is gonna tell her she’s actually a boy, and she’s gonna get sucked into this gender cult. And she’s gonna say, “Mom and Dad, I want puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, which will sterilize her. And they’re gonna say, “No, you’re a girl.” And she’s gonna say, “But I want top surgery, this benign thing, this double mastectomy, where I’ll have tubes coming out of me, and I’ll never breastfeed a child. I want that too.” And they’re gonna say “no,” and she’s gonna go to a judge in Minnesota, and because of Tim Walz, the court will take custody of her, use the Medicaid funds in Minnesota to provide her all of those things, chop off her breasts, sterilize her with the puberty blockers and the cross-sex hormones. And when this girl inevitably comes to the conclusion that she didn’t want any of this, that it only added to her problems, which were the divorce and the acne and the puberty and not any trans issue, who is she going to go to then? This is all because of Tim Walz.

That’s what Minnesota is doing right now to little girls and boys, taking custody away from the parents so that they can have these procedures without any loving parent there to help. And that’s what Taylor Swift just endorsed for your children, so screw you, Taylor Swift!

Carlson: Thank you for saying that.

Elon Musk, who previously trolled the pop singer’s announcement, offering to give her a child and protect her cats, agreed with Kelly, calling Walz’s policies “so messed up.”

So messed up https://t.co/Pkel3B36S5

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 14, 2024

It can be recalled that Musk was tricked into supporting his son Xavier’s determination to “transition” into a woman. “It wasn’t explained to me how puberty blockers are actually sterilization drugs. I lost my son essentially,” Musk told Jordan Petersen while sharing his heartbreaking account of the consequences of puberty blockers.

This is what the Democrats want for America’s children.

Megyn Kelly is right. Screw you, Taylor Swift.

THE ABDUL HOAX: “a Person Who Doesn’t Exist” – Media Leftists “Fake Fact-Check” Trump On Taliban Leader Abdul Ghani Baradar, Get DESTROYED by X Users (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — September 14th 2024 at 17:40

The leftwing media has come out with their latest hoax, deceiving voters by claiming Taliban leader Abdul Ghani Baradar “doesn’t exist” and is just a made-up person who Trump referenced during his first debate with Kamala Harris.

This is one of the several dishonest “fact checks” of Trump’s debate performance in addition to the moderators’ many one-sided fact-checks against Trump mid-debate.

During the debate, Trump reminded the country, “The Taliban was killing our soldiers, with snipers, a lot of them, with snipers… I got involved. And Abdul is the head of the Taliban. He is still the head of the Taliban, and I told Abdul, ‘Don’t do it anymore. You do it anymore, you’re going to have problems.’ And he said, ‘Why do you send me a picture of my house?’ I said, ‘You’re going to have to figure that out, Abdul.’ And for 18 months we had nobody killed.”

Trump has told this story numerous times in recent years while speaking about his foreign policy and record of world peace.

Prior to the debate, Abdul was a very real person and co-founder of the Taliban. According to Al Jazeera, following Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, which killed 13 US Servicemembers in 2021, Abdul was “named as the deputy leader in the new caretaker government of Afghanistan… Popularly known as Mullah Baradar, he emerged as the Taliban’s number two after the death of Mullah Mohammad Omar in 2013.”

The Gateway Pundit reported in August 2021 that Abdul Ghani Baradar was appointed leader by the Taliban and will be taking control of the government.

Taliban Declares Victory and Announces ‘Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’ From Presidential Palace (VIDEO)

But now that Trump mentioned Abdul in a debate with Kamala, Abdul Ghani Baradar is a "person who doesn't exist," according to leftist crank Joy Ried. Nicole Wallace added, "No one can really confirm who this Taliban person named Abdul is, who he said he talked to."

MSNBC reacted to Trump's mention of Abdul during the debate in a coordinated, clueless fashion:

Ried: This is the part where Donald Trump invented someone. He invented a person who doesn't exist in addition to the people he says are eating dogs. This is another person who doesn't exist. His name is Abdul... Maybe the reason that VP Harris is looking at him that way is that she's probably thinking, maybe he should go back to the old folks home and have a bowl of Jello. Or she might also be thinking herself, “no, no, no, the head of the Taliban's name is not Abdul” It is Hibatullah Akhundzada. So, maybe he couldn't remember that. You know, I had to write it down to know it. You're thoughts on his response in making up Abdul as a person that isn't real?

Wallace: No one can really confirm who this Taliban person named Abdul is, who he said he talked to.

WATCH:


CNN also made fun of Trump, implying he's a racist and just chose an Arab-sounding name, on their new "comedy show":


However, just a few years ago, the same leftist media outlets referred to Abdul Ghani Baradar as "the man who now leads the Taliban in Afghanistan." Mike Pence also confirmed that President Trump spoke with Abdul, and "he knew President Trump meant business."

WATCH: “Blinken, Go Home! Get Lost!” – Polish Member of European Parliament Slams Blinken After Meeting With Poland’s Foreign Minister, Discussions of Enhanced Military Aid to Ukraine

By: Jordan Conradson — September 14th 2024 at 16:20

Polish Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Grzegorz Braun slammed US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and the Biden Regime’s WWIII agenda on Thursday as Blinken met with leaders about increasing involvement in the Ukraine war.

The conservative Polish leader told Blinken to “Go Home!” and declared, “We don’t want Polish people paying and dying for your wars” amid discussions with Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski about easing restrictions on Poland’s aid to Ukraine, including permission to supply Ukraine with long-range missiles.

This request goes against Putin’s warning. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Putin once again warned that the U.S. and NATO would be ‘at war’ with Russia if the West allows Ukraine to use long-range missiles.

WW3 WATCH: Putin Warns Authorization to Fire Long-Range Missiles Deep Inside Russia Will Mean NATO Is at War With Russia

This comes after Blinken and UK’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy met with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Wednesday to discuss exactly that.

The next day, Blinken was met in Poland with fury from Grzegorz Braun, demanding he "Get lost!"

Watch:

Blinken, go home! Go home as soon as possible! Get lost! Get lost! We don't want you here! We don't want Polish people paying and dying for your wars.

Despite acknowledging the risk of Russia making "appropriate decisions" in response to the use of long-range missiles, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski pushed Blinken to allow the use of these weapons against Russia.

India Today reports,

The remarks followed a high-level meeting between the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Poland's Foreign Minister, which concluded with a joint press conference. The discussions centred around Poland’s efforts to push the U.S. into easing restrictions on the use of Western weapons and missiles by Ukraine in its defence against Russia’s aggression.

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski reiterated this stance during the press conference, calling for continued support of Ukraine. “We should continue to deliver advanced air defence systems (to Ukraine) ... and lift restrictions on the use of long-range weapons," he declared. Sikorski emphasised that enhancing Ukraine’s military capabilities was essential for the country’s defence and regional security.

However, Sikorski also warned of the potential consequences of such a move, cautioning that it could lead to the direct involvement of NATO countries, including the U.S. and European nations, in the war. "If this decision is taken, it will mean nothing less than the direct involvement of NATO countries, the United States and European countries in the war in Ukraine," he said, adding that this would compel Russia to take "appropriate decisions" in response.

With Poland geographically positioned at the front line of any potential escalation beyond Ukraine, there is growing concern about the ramifications of further involvement in the conflict. Poland is wary of the consequences it may face if the war spreads, as the country would likely bear the brunt of any fallout. This fear is shared by many within Poland who are concerned about the escalating tension between NATO and Russia.

Feds and New York City Announce Plans To Crack Down on Animal Sacrifices That Don’t Exist According to Liberal Media

By: Jordan Conradson — September 14th 2024 at 15:00

New York City and Federal Officials have announced plans to crack down on animal abuse in Queens after discovering mutilated animals, including pigs, rats, chickens, and dogs, near Jamaica Bay.

The Gateway Pundit recently reported on the increasing sacrifice rituals taking place in NYC.

Animal Sacrifice Rituals Are Increasing in Queens, New York

As revealed by the New York Post, in the last month, chickens, rats, dogs, and pigs’ mutilated body parts have been discovered in Spring Creek Park in Howard Beach and the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens. Animal rescuers have discovered at least eight maimed animals since late July, including "live wounded pigs, a near-dead baby rat stuffed in a bag with chicken bones, and a dog carcass with its neck snapped," per the Post.

Local religious leaders believe the animal sacrifices stem from a sect of Hindu devotees who worship the goddess Kali.

Similar practices are occurring in Springfield, Ohio, where Voodoo Haitians are suspected of kidnapping people's cats and dogs to feast on or sacrifice to their god. The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on the horror plaguing residents from the more than 20,000 Haitians living in Springfield, including the carcasses of domesticated animals being gutted and hung in trees.

Angry residents have been seen eviscerating the City Commission in public comments for doing nothing about the Haitians wreaking havoc on the community. One resident said Haitians are running people off the road, flipping cars and decapitating ducks in the parks and eating them. Audio from a 911 call further confirms that Haitians were seen carrying geese.

Also, in Houston, Texas, several cats have been found dead and cut in half in Houston’s East End neighborhood. The cats were found cut in half, paws cleanly chopped off, with no blood at the scene. Residents believe a human is responsible for this gruesome act, though the details are still unclear.

Yet, the Democrats want to import more of these third-world savages who know nothing about American culture or laws and have no plans to assimilate. The leftwing media, complicit with the invasion of our country, continues to claim that this isn't happening, even trying to fact-check President Trump when he mentioned that "they’re eating the pets of the people" during his September 10 debate with Kamala Harris.
ABC News debate moderator David Muir issued a mid-debate fact check against Trump, claiming that there were "no credible reports" of pets being harmed by the illegal immigrants. CNN's Dana Bash later chimed in, calling the claims about illegal aliens sacrificing and eating animals a "racist meme."
New York City Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Queens) on Monday announced plans to install mobile lights and additional law enforcement patrols in a statement posted to Facebook:
A HUGE WIN for local animals today.
My office has been working closely with the National Park Service and the Federal Park Police to crack down on the animal sacrifices plaguing our community, and today I am pleased to say that this work has yielded strong results.
The National Parks Service has pledged to deploy mobile lighting units in the area, which will potentially deter those seeking to use the cover of darkness for their actions. Additionally, we have also secured a promise of increased Parks Police patrols in the trouble zones.
This is not all. We have also spoken with our partners at the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, and have gotten a commitment from them to deploy additional Parks Enforcement Patrols to the Sunset Cove area to deter activity there.
I promised my constituents that we would bring an end to these heinous mutilations and killings, and through these actions we are doing just that. No animal deserves to suffer like this, and I refuse to allow it in my District.
Together, we will end this. Enough is enough. Zion's Mission Animal Rescue

"I’ve gotten in touch with my partners at both the federal and city level, and we are going to bring a new level of enforcement to the area and really crack down on this sickening behavior,” Councilwoman Ariola told the Post.

Kamala Harris Steals Credit for Trump Executive Order Eliminating College Degree Requirements for Federal Jobs

By: Jordan Conradson — September 14th 2024 at 12:20

Kamala Harris has stolen another idea from President Trump, declaring that as President, she will “get rid of the unnecessary degree requirement for federal jobs.”

“For far too long, our nation has encouraged one path to success: a four-year college degree,” Harris said on X. “As president, I will get rid of the unnecessary degree requirement for federal jobs.”

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are known for stealing Trump’s ideas and credit for Trump’s past successes and future policy proposals.

The formerly Biden—now Harris campaign took credit for capping insulin costs at $35/month after ending the Trump-era policy of capping insulin prices in 2021.

More recently, Harris stole Trump’s No Tax on Tips proposal, announcing at a rally last month that she would “eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.” Trump had already been talking about this all year, but Kamala put forth the totally original idea as the first policy she spoke about after being installed as the Democratic Nominee.

Days after this, Kamala copied the Trump campaign’s child tax credit for parents, an idea that the media ridiculed until Kamala Harris ripped it off and put her name on another totally original idea from the Trump campaign.

Kamala Harris Steals ANOTHER Idea From Trump and Vance – Proposes $6,000 Child Tax Credit

The latest idea from Kamala Harris should show all of America how dishonest and incompetent she is.

It can be recalled that on June 26, 2020, President Trump signed an executive order alongside his daughter, Ivanka, directing the Office of Personnel Management to "replace degree-based hiring with skills- and competency-based hiring."

Seattle Times Tries to Fact Check Trump on Seattle Rioters Taking Over Portion of Seattle in 2020, Gets Fact Checked by Community Notes

By: Jordan Conradson — September 14th 2024 at 11:20
Warlord of CHAZ and Insurrectionist Raz Simone

The Seattle Times was destroyed by X’s community notes feature on Thursday after sharing an article titled, “Trump falsely claims CHOP protesters took over a big part of Seattle.”

Trump, during his debate with Kamala Harris on September 10, noted that radical BLM protestors in the summer of 2020 “went into Seattle, they took over a big percentage of the city of Seattle.” Not even the leftist moderators refuted his claims in their many one-sided fact-checks against Trump mid-debate.

Once again, Trump was debating the other candidate as well as the moderators. But since that failed, the media is coming in to lay more cover for the Democrats.

Elon Musk reacted to the success of community notes at combatting the real disinformation from the left with an emoji, expressing tears of joy.

“Former President Donald Trump referenced Seattle’s Capitol Hill Organized Protest during the presidential debate Tuesday night, falsely claiming protesters took over a big portion of the city,” reads the attempted fact check by Seattle Times.

However, as The Gateway Pundit previously reported, violent BLM and Antifa protestors sieged a six-square block area of Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood and called it the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ). Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best previously admitted “rapes, robberies, all sorts of violent acts” were occurring during the more than two weeks it was occupied by leftwing extremists and gangsters. The anarchists had been allowed to continue their game with the blessing of Mayor Jenny Durkan, who enabled and defended the chaos, lashed out at President Trump, and declared she would not allow the National Guard to intervene.

One mysterious figure and leader named Raz Simone was identified running guns in the newly formed country in the center of Seattle, had strange ties to the Islamic government in Dubai, and had previously received $82,000 from the city of Seattle to open his own studio in a building he purchased.

During the period of occupation in Seattle, at least five shootings and several murders were reported, ultimately leading to police storming the area and dismantling the compound.

‘ENOUGH IS ENOUGH’: Police Storm Into CHAZ After Seattle Mayor Orders ‘Occupied’ Area Cleared; 13 Arrested So Far

The Seattle Times even reported on the hostile takeover and insurrection "that pushed the Seattle Police Department out of its East Precinct building" in June 2020:

A new protest society — centered on a handful of blocks in Seattle’s quirky, lefty Capitol Hill — has been born from the demonstrations that pushed the Seattle Police Department out of its East Precinct building.

On Tuesday, demonstrators hung a banner on the police station: “THIS SPACE IS NOW PROPERTY OF THE SEATTLE PEOPLE.” Teenagers passed a bottle on the exit ramp for police vehicles. A young man carried a long rifle down the sidewalk, despite the mayor’s ban on weapons in Capitol Hill, which has not been clearly enforced.

Musician Raz Simone, emcee of the free speech circle at 12th and Pine on Tuesday, called for long-term occupation.

“This is not Coachella,” Simone said, but an opportunity for demonstrators to make it what they want. “Bring your sleeping bags and tents. We here.”

“They Don’t Like Men That Are Not Real Men” – Dating Guru and Bestselling Author Says Women Prefer Conservative Men Over “Beta Liberals” (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — September 14th 2024 at 10:40

Steve Santagati, bestselling author of “The Manual: A True Bad Boy Explains How Men Think, Date, and Mate–and What Women Can Do to Come Out on Top,” says that one of the secrets to dating for men is not to be a liberal beta male. 

The longtime serial dater and field researcher turned bestselling author told Fox News in a recent interview that women “just don’t like liberals, and they don’t like men that are not real men.” Instead, “real men predominantly are found in the Conservative Party.”

The reasoning behind this theory is that “women want to be with a man that they can trust, that they feel safe with,” a quality that conservative men have “by a landslide.” Santagati adds, “Any liberal woman who’s with a liberal man, chances are she hates him.”

Santagati also commented on the DNC convention last month, noting that women looking for a relationship were probably disappointed by the lack of real men in attendance. “The men are not being true to themselves. It’s all a veneer of, ‘Oh yes, I apologize for my whiteness, I apologize for my male toxicity. I apologize for these things.’ Women don’t want that,” said Santagati.

Fox reports,

Santagati was amused last month when CNN’s Dana Bash essentially suggested during coverage of the Democratic National Convention that the Harris-Walz ticket appeals to males who might not be as masculine as their Republican counterparts.

“They are doing so in trying to put forward male figures, Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff last night, who can speak to men out there who might not be the sort of testosterone-laden, you know, gun-toting kind of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan and the kind of players that came out at the RNC,” Bash said.

Santagati agrees that Walz and Emhoff aren’t exactly oozing masculinity, but he felt Democrats were targeting traditional males by playing up the Minnesota governor’s experience as an assistant high school football coach and pushing camouflage campaign hats.

Santagati laughed as he sarcastically suggested that Cabela’s bros and men who shop at Bass Pro Shop might suddenly support Walz because he likes camo, too. He also doesn’t think the typical non-masculine male can convert themselves into someone desirable to women if they’re too into far-left ideology.

” It’s not like you can pick up a fly fishing rod or shoot a gun, and all of a sudden, you’re a man,” Santagati said. To him, It all comes down to logic and common sense, the man’s ability to care for a woman, and his stability. These are “the overriding factors that make a conservative very different than a wishy-washy man-bun liberal.”

Watch below:

Santagati: It’s not that women like quote unquote “conservative men.” They just don’t like liberals, and they don’t like men that are not real men. And so a few years back, I wrote a book about why women like bad boys, because I was sick of seeing all the television commentator women trying to explain how men think, and they were just spending their hours bashing us. So, my book I wrote, called “The Manual: A True Bad Boy Explains How Men Think, Date, and Mate,” did better than I even anticipated, and it did better on a world scale. It’s in 15 languages, in 19 countries. Biologically, men and women think a certain way, regardless of what they tell you on television, regardless of what they want to promote via propaganda. Especially nowadays, men and women think a different way, and they think biologically; that’s what motivates them. That’s what makes our decisions to pick a mate concrete, if you will. So, for example, we recently saw this whole pesky XX chromosome, XY chromosome during the Olympics. Well, it turns out, those chromosomes don’t just decide who should be competing against each other in sports. It also decides who you’re going to like and why. So, for example, any liberal woman who’s with a liberal man, chances are she hates him. She resents him. He hates himself. He resents himself because he’s a beta male. Women want to be with a man that they can trust, that they feel safe with, and the bottom line is conservative men have these qualities over liberals by a landslide.

So, no matter what they tell you, equality, blah, blah, blah, if they keep pushing that on you, ask any woman to give you an honest answer. You’re driving down the road, it’s pouring rain, you get a flat tire, and your beta liberal husband says to you, “Honey, I don’t want to usurp your femininity, so why don’t you go out and change the tire, and I’ll wait in here and listen to NPR.” It ain’t gonna happen. She’s gonna hate you. It’s not like you can pick up a fly fishing rod or shoot a gun, and all of a sudden, you’re a man. It really comes down to, if I had to boil it all down, it comes down to logic and common sense. Does this make sense? Can I take care of you? Am I a stable guy? Those are the overriding factors that make a conservative very different than a wishy-washy man-bun liberal.

Any single woman going to the DNC and thinking in the back of her mind, maybe I’ll meet Mr. Right, probably had so much cognitive dissonance when she got there that her head—surprisingly, her head didn’t explode, primarily because, if you look at the DNC party, and you look at the people that are involved, especially at the level that will attend such an event, they’re very angry people. The men are not being true to themselves. It’s all a veneer of, “Oh yes, I apologize for my whiteness, I apologize for my male toxicity. I apologize for these things.” Women don’t want that. So they may have gone and even they may have interacted with some single men, but at the end of the day, that voice inside them, they’re thinking, Oh my God, this guy would not protect me if I heard a noise in the night, this guy is not going to be able to fix my thing, this guy is not going to be able to change a tire. That’s what they’re thinking inside.

You know, they attach all this woke ideology to themselves, and it’s no more impenetrable than putting a piece of rice paper on in a rainstorm. It’s that thin. Real men know, like a lion doesn’t get up in the morning, look in the mirror and go, I’m a lion, I’m a lion, I’m a lion. He just is, and you’re not going to convince him otherwise. And it’s the same thing with real men. And real men predominantly are found in the Conservative Party, because we think for ourselves. We have logic, we have common sense. You saw this during covid. You saw this during all kinds of events throughout time. If it weren’t for conservative men, these people wouldn’t even be allowed to protest the things they don’t like about the best country in the world.

SICK: Bill Maher Suggests Trump is “F*cking” Laura Loomer – Loomer Responds (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — September 14th 2024 at 09:00

Bill Maher, host of HBO’s “Real Time,” recently made disgusting allegations against Laura Loomer and President Trump, claiming that Loomer, 31, “looks like his type” and is “f*cking” the President.

Loomer issued a stern warning and threat to sue Maher for defamation, calling the claim “incredibly disrespectful to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.”

This comes after Loomer criticized singer Taylor Swift for her apparently staged relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this month, a leaked document bearing the letterhead of Kelce’s PR firm, Full Scope PR, revealed that his relationship with the singer was nothing more than a staged PR stunt with a planned break-up date of September 28.

Travis Kelce’s Team Calls in Lawyers After Leaked ‘Contract’ Allegedly Reveals ‘Staged’ Relationship Break-Up Date with Taylor Swift

It is unclear what the reason for the arrangement is, but Loomer called it last year, tweeting on December 27, 2023, that Kelce "regrets" his "arranged political relationship" with Taylor Swift.

We all know he actually regrets dating Taylor Swift.

But that’s the thing about arranged political relationships sponsored by @pfizer.

You don’t get to choose your mate, or your fate. In the end it ends in some form a heart damage. Either a broken heart, or maybe myocarditis. https://t.co/vZNQZC8Ulx

— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) December 27, 2023

This also comes as Trump debunked the leftist media's claims that Loomer works for his campaign. "Laura Loomer doesn't work for the Campaign. She's a private citizen and longtime supporter. I disagree with the statements she made but, like the many millions of people who support me, she is tired of watching the Radical Left Marxists and Fascists violently attack and smear me, even to the point of doing anything to stop their Political Opponent, ME!" Trump said in a Truth Social post.

JUST IN:

President Trump just released this statement on Truth Social confirming exactly what I have told all of you for over a year now. I don’t work for him. I have no position with him. I’m simply a ride or die supporter who dedicates all of my time to fighting for… https://t.co/BWrgtnQzdT pic.twitter.com/WWDnB1HNMQ

— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) September 13, 2024

Now, in a desperate attempt to tie Trump to Loomer and distract from Taylor Swift's arranged relationship, Bill Maher, likely at the request of higher-ups, suggests that Laura Loomer's in an arranged relationship to affect the election."

Loomer responded to Maher's insulting comments, suggesting a defamation lawsuit may be in the works:

I should sue Bill Maher @billmaher for Defamation.

This is beyond the pale and it’s a complete and blatant lie. I have never in my life seen such a coordinated attack by the mainstream Media, the White House and leftist personalities to target a private citizen and investigative journalist simply because I flew on a plane and I support Donald Trump.

This is unacceptable. And it’s a full-blown LIE and incredibly disrespectful to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

It’s very obvious some type of memo went out because the reaction to what I said is completely overblown and it’s a full blown character assassination campaign.

This is a full-blown lie from @billmaher, and he is maliciously and deliberately defaming me.

I should sue Bill Maher @billmaher for Defamation.

This is beyond the pale and it’s a complete and blatant lie.

WATCH: “I Already Kind of Had a Feeling it Was Gonna Happen” – Classmate Says Georgia School Shooter Colt Gray Was Quiet, Fits Stereotype of School Shooter, Left Classroom for Extended Period of Time Before Shooting

By: Jordan Conradson — September 5th 2024 at 18:00
Apalachee High School Killer Colt Gray – Credit: Barrow County Sheriff’s Office

A classmate of Colt Gray, the deranged school shooter who murdered four and injured at least nine others at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia on Wednesday, spoke about her experience following the tragic attack at her school.

Four individuals—two students and two teachers—were pronounced dead at the scene, and Gray was taken into custody after surrendering to the police. Gray is expected to appear in court on Friday, where he will officially be charged as an adult.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a search of Gray’s home uncovered disturbing evidence of the young boy’s obsession with mass shootings, including the 2018 Parkland shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 people were killed.

Further, the suspect was known to the FBI, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, and local schools as early as May 2023 after anonymous tipsters revealed “online threats to commit a school shooting” accompanied by photographs of guns from a Discord account associated with Gray, according to FBI Atlanta.

FBI Was Monitoring Georgia Apalachee High School Mass Shooter Since 2023 – And Once Again, They Dropped the Ball

This attack also comes after an unidentified individual warned the high school via phone earlier in the morning that it would be the first of five schools targeted with violence.

The classmate who spoke to CNN, identified as 16-year-old Lyela Sayarath, a junior at Apalachee High School, said that Gray's behavior "fit the description" of a school shooter. "He never really talked. He was pretty quiet," Sayarath said. "He wasn't there most times; either he just didn't come to school, or he just would skip class. But even when he would have talked, it was one-word answers or just short statements."

She continued, "When you think of like shooters and how they act or things that they do, it's usually the quiet kid, or like that's the stereotype for it to be, and he was the one that fit that description in our class."

Sayarath also revealed that "as soon as they didn't let him in, I don't know, I already kind of had a feeling it was gonna happen, and it was him," adding, "as soon as they didn't let him in, and you hear the gunshots, you kind of like, know." Though it is unclear exactly what she meant, it appears that the student expected Gray to commit violence against his peers. How did the school, the FBI, and local police miss the clear warning signs, as described by the student, coupled with past threats by the student?

While his mental health background and psychiatric drug history are still unknown, something is clearly wrong with this kid based on his introverted and withdrawn behaviors and his reported “obsession” with notorious school shootings.

Cofounder of AbleChild, a nonprofit fighting for transparency in child drug “treatment” and psychiatric services, Sheila Matthews told The Gateway Pundit,

"This young girl observed more about Cotl Gray’s behaviors than the mental health experts in the school system. In her short interview she described a withdrawn disconnected student that came and went as he pleased from the classroom with a clear communication problem with one-word answers. The interesting fact is that the public gets more information from other students and neighbors about the killer than from those in-charge of their education heavily funded by taxpayers. All we hear from the lawmakers and the media, is a clamor for more mental health funding. As the school and police hide behind privacy laws, other students often know exactly who potentially is on a cocktail of psychiatric drugs, the side effects are not hard to miss. There is no shortage of mental health access or money."

The student later revealed that the campus lockdown alert "wasn't instant," despite someone at the school "looking for him already" and reports that "toward the end of her Algebra class, Lyela said someone over the loudspeaker told her teacher to check her email." It would seem that the school was prepared for something to go wrong before the shooting started. Additionally, per Fox, "Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith said Wednesday night that teachers at Apalachee High School are individually armed with a Centegix ID which alerts law enforcement officers of an active incident when a button is pressed." Still, the student said it took "maybe a couple minutes" after the gunshots began for the alert to notify teachers of the situation.

Lyela Sayarath recounted the events that occurred in her Algebra class prior to and during the young man's killing spree. Per CNN, "She said Colt left the classroom at the beginning of their Algebra 1 class around 9:45 a.m. local time. Lyela thought Colt was going to the bathroom, but he didn’t take a pass, so she assumed he was skipping class, she said." The violence erupted about 45 minutes later, just before 10:30 a.m.

Watch below:

Classmate: I just remember, like the moment that it happened, he was at the door, and they—I knew they were looking for him already, but he was at the door, and they almost let him in, until they backed up, and then he turned away, and that's when you hear, like the first rounds of fire...[The doors] lock automatically, so you have to be let in to come back into our classroom. So I think he wanted to come to us first... to shoot us.

Reporter: And then he was at the door, a student went to open the door, and then what happened?

Classmate: She backed away. I think she saw him, or maybe somebody said something, but I'm pretty sure she saw that he had a gun, and so she backed away.

Reporter: So she was about to let him into the class, you think to shoot the students, saw that he had a gun, did not let him in. What happened next?

Classmate: He turns to the classroom, to what would have been my right, and he just starts to shoot, and you hear, like, about 10 to 15 rounds back to back.

Reporter: What did you hear? What did you think was going on in those moments?

Classmate: As soon as they didn't let him in, I don't know, I already kind of had a feeling it was gonna happen, and it was him, but as soon as they didn't let him in, and you hear the gunshots, you kind of like, know... He never really talked. He was pretty quiet. He wasn't there most times; either he just didn't come to school, or he just would skip class. But even when he would have talked, it was one-word answers or just short statements.... When you think of like shooters and how they act or things that they do, it's usually the quiet kid, or like that's the stereotype for it to be, and he was the one that fit that description in our class.

Reporter: How quickly from the moment that you heard the gunshots go off to the hard lockdown alert going on the screens, letting everyone else in the school know that something had gone wrong? How long did that take, do you recall?

Classmate: Maybe a couple minutes, but it wasn't instant.

FBI Was Monitoring Georgia Apalachee High School Mass Shooter Since 2023 – And Once Again, They Dropped the Ball

By: Jordan Conradson — September 4th 2024 at 21:00
FBI Director Chris Wray admits to Congress that the FBI is not investigating why President Trump was allowed on stage with a suspect on a roof with a gun was identified at the rally.

The FBI has confirmed that the 14-year-old Apalachee High School shooter, Colt Gray, a student at the Georgia school, was known to the agency as early as May 2023 after receiving “several anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting at an unidentified location and time.”

This comes after we learned that an unidentified individual also warned the high school via phone that it would be the first of five schools targeted with violence prior to the shooting on Wednesday.

UPDATE: Apalachee High School Received Phone Call Threat Prior to Shooting That Killed 4 – Why Was Nothing Done?

Gray denied making the threats in an interview with the Jackson County Sheriff's Office. Per FBI Atlanta, "Jackson County alerted local schools for continued monitoring of the subject," but no additional action was taken.

The full statement released by FBI Atlanta at 7:49 pm ET on X reads,

FBI Atlanta responded earlier today to Apalachee High School following reports of an active shooter. Throughout the day FBI personnel have been coordinating with and supporting local and state law enforcement. The FBI will dedicate all available resources, as requested, to seek justice and bring closure for the victims and their families.

In May 2023, the FBI's National Threat Operations Center received several anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting at an unidentified location and time. The online threats contained photographs of guns. Within 24 hours, the FBI determined the online post originated in Georgia and the FBI's Atlanta Field Office referred the information to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office for action.

The Jackson County Sheriffs' Office located a possible subject, a 13-year-old male, and interviewed him and his father. The father stated he had hunting guns in the house, but the subject did not have unsupervised access to them. The subject denied making the threats online. Jackson County alerted local schools for continued monitoring of the subject.

At that time, there was no probable cause for arrest or to take any additional law enforcement action on the local, state, or federal levels. ​

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation further confirmed that the FBI's statement is in connection to the student who was taken into custody earlier.

Additionally, as The Gateway Pundit reported, Mobile ad data analysis reveals someone who regularly visited would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks’ Pennsylvania home also visited a building in DC near an FBI office. It is unclear if the FBI had any contact with Crooks prior to the attempt on President Trump's life in Butler Pennsylvania.

Another post on X points out that the FBI may have had knowledge of several other previous mass murderers in Buffalo, NY; Boulder, CO; Parkland Springs, FL; Sutherland Springs, TX; Las Vegas, NV; Orlando, FL; San Bernardino, CA; and the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013.

The Gateway Pundit reported that the incident occurred around 10:30 a.m. at the school, located in Winder, Georgia, approximately 40 miles northeast of Atlanta. As of 2:23 p.m. ET, CNN confirmed that nine of the injured were transferred to local hospitals, while four people were confirmed dead at the scene.

The shooter was later identified as 14-year-old Colt Gray.

SICK: Kamala Politicizes Georgia School Shooting by Likely Mentally Ill Person, Takes Aim at Gun Rights During Campaign Stop (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — September 4th 2024 at 18:20

While speaking at a rally on Wednesday in New Hampshire–where she bussed people in from the neighboring state of Massachusets–Kamala Harris went “off script” and took advantage of the school shooting in Georgia to make guns “one of the many issues that’s at stake in this election.”

Before they had even counted the bodies and identified the shooter, Kamala was politicizing the situation.

The incident occurred around 10:30 a.m. at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, approximately 40 miles northeast of Atlanta. As of 2:23 p.m. ET, CNN confirmed that nine of the injured were transferred to local hospitals, while four people were confirmed dead at the scene.

Shortly after 3 p.m., Kamala used the opportunity to push her agenda, labeling the epidemic of mental illness and violent acts fueled by psychiatric drugs as an “epidemic of gun violence.”

What else would drive a person, especially a child, to commit such heinous senseless murders?

As seen in the case of Transgender Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale, whose manifesto was just released on Tuesday, the shooter had two decades as a psychiatric patient at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center with at least five mental illness diagnoses and was treated with numerous drugs that could be responsible for her deadly thoughts.

As The Gateway Pundit also reported, the high school received a phone call stating that it would be the first of five schools targeted on Wednesday morning, indicating that this was likely another premeditated attack by a deranged individual. Still, seemingly nothing was done to prevent the shooting.

UPDATE: Apalachee High School Received Phone Call Threat Prior to Shooting That Killed 4 – Why Was Nothing Done?

The shooter was later identified as 14-year-old Colt Gray, a student at the school, The Gateway Pundit reported. ​

It is currently unknown what role mental illness and drugs played in the Georgia shooter's actions. Wait until we see the manifesto and psychiatric history of the shooter...

But Kamala doesn't care if the individual was sick and what type of medications he may have been on. After all, why would the Marxist Democrats waste a good crisis where innocent children die? Never mind the senseless murders of innocent women and children by Kamala’s illegal aliens. 

In an awkward, stumbling speech, Kamala Harris took the opportunity to declare her love for Gen Z, stoke fear, and blatantly campaign on this morning's tragedy.

Watch below:

Harris: Before I begin, I do want to say a few words about this tragic shooting that took place this morning in Winder, Georgia. We're still gathering information about what happened, but we know that there were multiple fatalities and injuries. And, you know, our hearts are with all the students, the teachers, and their families, of course, and we are grateful to the first responders and law enforcement that were on the scene. But this is just a senseless tragedy on top of so many senseless tragedies, and it's just outrageous that every day in our country, in the United States of America, that parents have to send their children to school worried about whether or not their child will come home alive. It's senseless. It is--We've got to stop it.

And we have to end this epidemic of gun violence in our country once and for all. You know, it doesn't have to be this way. It doesn't have to be this way. So we will continue, of course, to send our prayers and our thoughts to the families and all those who were affected, including—you know, I'm going off script right now, but listen, I mean, you know, at the last year, I started a college tour. And I traveled our country, meeting with our young leaders, right? And so it was college-age young leaders. So, I did trade schools, colleges, universities, community colleges. By the way, I love Gen Z. I just love Gen Z. But I'll tell you, one of the things, one of the things that I asked every time I went to the auditorium, and it would be filled with these young leaders students, and I'd ask them, raise your hand if at any point between kindergarten and 12th grade, you had to endure an active shooter drill. And the—for the, for the young leaders who are here, who are raising their hand, I'm telling you, every time the auditorium was packed, and almost every hand went up. You know, a lot of us, I'll speak about myself. You know, we had, well, I grew up in California, earthquake drills, we had fire drills, but our kids are sitting in a classroom where they should be fulfilling their God-given potential and some part of their big, beautiful brain is concerned about a shooter busting through the door of the classroom. It does not have to be this way. It does not have to be this way. And you know, this is one of the many issues that's at stake in this election.

UPDATE: Apalachee High School Received Phone Call Threat Prior to Shooting That Killed 4 – Why Was Nothing Done?

By: Jordan Conradson — September 4th 2024 at 15:40

New details have emerged from Wednesday’s shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, regarding a warning the school received prior to the gunman opening fire.

Despite reportedly receiving a phone call stating that the high school would be the first of five targets, seemingly nothing was done to prevent the violence.

The Gateway Pundit reported on the deadly shooting this morning, which claimed the lives of at least four people and sent nine to the hospital with injuries.

BREAKING UPDATE: 4 Dead, Approximately 30 Injured in Georgia School Shooting — Shooter Believed to be 14-Years-Old (VIDEO)

The shooter is believed to be a 14-year-old boy, according to law enforcement source.

Per CNN:

The high school had received an earlier phone threat, multiple law enforcement officials told CNN.

The phone call Wednesday morning warned there would be shootings at five schools, and that Apalachee would be the first.

It is not known who placed the call. Officials tell CNN they are investigating the call and where it originated.

Despite this apparent incompetence or lack of care for the safety of students, leftist politicians and their media hacks are already disseminating the narrative that guns are responsible for deranged homicidal ideations and terroristic attacks. ”Gun safety” is all they have to run on after Kamala Harris aided Joe Biden and the Democrats in destroying our country.

Meanwhile, they will continue to pour billions of dollars into mental health treatments and drugs that may play a role in the deadly thoughts of these deranged killers, as is likely in the case of Nashville transgender school shooter Audrey Hale. It is currently unknown what role mental illness and drugs played in the Georgia shooter's actions.

BREAKING UPDATE: 4 Dead, Approximately 30 Injured in Georgia School Shooting — Shooter Believed to be 14-Years-Old (VIDEO)

By: Jordan Conradson — September 4th 2024 at 11:46

UPDATE: At least four people are reportedly dead, with approximately 30 injured, per CNN. As of 2:23 pm ET, CNN reports that nine people were transferred to hospitals with injuries and four are confirmed dead, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

One suspect is in custody.

According to CNN, “The shooter who opened fire inside Apalachee High school is believed to be a 14-year-old boy, a law enforcement source tells CNN. The source said it is not yet known whether the teen attended that school.”

An active shooter situation at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, about 40 miles northeast of Atlanta, is believed to have left four dead and approximately 30 injured on Wednesday morning.

The school was placed on a hard lockdown, which was suspended at approximately 11:30 am, according to reports.

Per an early report from the New York Post, “At least one person is dead and a suspect is in custody after authorities responded to a report of an active shooter at a northern Georgia high school on Wednesday.” The number has now grown, according to law enforcement sources.

Via New York Post:

Other photos and videos on X show police responding to the scene and students running to the football field:

With the recent revelations in Nashville transgender shooter Audrey Hale’s manifesto, hopefully, the country will have a renewed focus on the mental illnesses involved in violent acts like this and the effects of psychiatric drugs as “treatment.” As The Gateway Pundit reported, Hale, 28, had two decades as a psychiatric patient at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center with at least five mental illness diagnoses and was treated with numerous drugs that could be responsible for the shooter’s deadly thoughts. And the FBI’s Behavioral Threat Assessment Center is withholding these medical records from the public:

Report: Billions in Funding at Risk If Audrey Hale’s Mental Health Records Are Released to Public

Still, leftist politicians and their media hacks will perpetuate the narrative that guns are responsible for deranged homicidal ideations while continuing to pour billions of dollars into mental health treatments and drugs. It is currently unknown what role mental illness and drugs played in the Georgia shooter's actions.

The FBI issued a statement on this shooting, saying, "FBI Atlanta is aware of the current situation at Apalachee High School in Barrow County.  Our agents are on scene coordinating with and supporting local law enforcement," per Fox Atlanta.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) responded to the news asking America to join her in praying for all students and staff.

Please join me in prayer for all the students, staff, and families at Apalachee High School in Winder, Ga.

There has been a school shooting and reports of multiple injuries are being reported.

— Marjorie Taylor Greene (@mtgreenee) September 4, 2024

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp also issued a statement on X:

We will continue to work with local, state, and federal partners as we gather information and further respond to this situation. (2/2)

— Governor Brian P. Kemp (@GovKemp) September 4, 2024


Fox 5 Atlanta reports,

SkyFOX 5 flew over the scene and emergency responders could be seen treating people at the school. At least two people were observed being put into helicopters to be flown to hospitals for treatment. Dozens of law enforcement officers and ambulances were also observed outside the school.

Grady Memorial Hospital confirmed at 12:20 p.m. they had received one gunshot victim from the school. No other information was released.

Shortly before 11:30 a.m., the school told FOX News that the school had been cleared and students are being released to their families. Students may be picked up from the school. Buses will also run for students needing transportation to their homes. The school says it will share more information as soon as it can.

According to U.S. News & World Report, there are approximately 1,900 students enrolled at the school. It is one of two high schools in the Barrow County Public Schools district

J6 Award Gala and Fundraiser at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster Postponed Until After General Election

By: Jordan Conradson — September 1st 2024 at 15:40

Conservative music label First Class Label Group, the America Project, and nonprofit Vote Your Vision have postponed a scheduled fundraising gala to honor and support the peaceful January 6 defendants who faced political persecution from the Biden Regime.

Originally set for September 5, 2024, The Gateway Pundit has learned that the event to honor J6 prisoners with high-profile figures in attendance has been postponed until after the November presidential election. Confirmed attendees at the J6 Gala included former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Trump advisor Peter Navarro, UFC Champion Colby Covington, as well as other conservative influencers. According to First Class Label Group President LJ Fino, President Trump was invited and “expressed interest in attending,” though his attendance was not confirmed by the campaign.

“Although disappointing, the ‘Justice For All Gala’ has been postponed due to scheduling conflicts of invited guest speakers,” Fino said of the event’s rescheduling.

Stand in The Gap Foundation co-founder Sarah McAbee, wife of J6 prisoner Ronald McAbee, told The Gateway Pundit, “after careful consideration and extensive discussions, we made the difficult decision to postpone the January 6th Awards Gala. Given certain external factors beyond our control, we felt this was the most responsible course of action.” McAbee continued, “We are working closely with our partners to reschedule the event for a later date. We remain committed to assisting the January 6th defendants and look forward to rescheduling.”

McAbee gave us the following statement on her organization’s continued support for J6 prisoners:

“Our commitment to supporting January 6th defendants remains unwavering. In addition to planning the rescheduled event, we are actively working on several initiatives to provide ongoing support to these individuals and their families. This includes financial assistance, legal advocacy, re-entry programs, and awareness campaigns to ensure their stories are heard. We are also collaborating with donors and partners to explore new ways to make a meaningful impact. We believe in standing up for what is right, and we will continue to do so in every way possible.

At Stand in the Gap, we firmly believe that no American should be deprived of their constitutional rights, regardless of their race, religion, gender, ideologies, or alleged actions. Our nation was founded on principles enshrined in the Constitution—such as the right to free speech and assembly (First Amendment), due process (Fifth Amendment), a speedy and impartial trial with adequate legal representation (Sixth Amendment), protection against unreasonable searches and seizures (Fourth Amendment), and protection against excessive bail and cruel and unusual punishment (Eighth Amendment)—yet we have strayed far from these ideals, as many January 6th defendants have continued to face excessive punishment, lack of due process, extended pretrial detention, and mistreatment in detention facilities. Meanwhile, other groups have engaged in similar or worse actions with little to no consequences. All we are asking for is equal justice across the Nation, as guaranteed by the Constitution.”

The Gateway Pundit previously reported on the event sponsored by our organization and Stand in The Gap Foundation.

Gateway Pundit Sponsors J6 Awards Gala to Honor Defendants Who Sang Platinum “Justice For All” Record – At Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ on Sept. 5 – UPDATE: EVENT LIKELY POSTPONED

Nearly 1,500 people have been persecuted in relation to January 6, 2021. Today, innocent Americans are still being held captive as an example for other conservatives who wish to protest their government and question the legitimacy of the upcoming election.

The fundraiser and award ceremony aimed to celebrate the historic success of the January 6 Prison Choir and President Trump’s chart-topping hit song, “Justice for All.”

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the “Justice for All” song reached NUMBER ONE in digital song sales on Billboard, topping Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga. Every night, the January 6 political prisoners sang the National Anthem at 9 pm from their jail cells, which was recorded and mixed with President Trump’s recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance to make an incredible statement through music.

J6 defendants will be awarded a Billboard plaque for the song’s success in topping the chart when the event is held following the election. Because of this, Billboard actually sent a cease and desist letter, preventing the organizations from using the word billboard in event advertisements.

“Despite being advertised as an "awards gala," there is no indication of what type of awards will be given out.”@billboard sent us a C&D for using the word “Billboard”. They will receive Billboard Awards that were earned for topping @billboardcharts.https://t.co/qgttMDJeS8

— LJ Fino (@LjFino) August 24, 2024


Additionally, proceeds from the event would "help cover costs and support the defendants and their families, with exclusive benefits and recognition at the gala,” per the organizer's webpage.

The Gateway Pundit will provide updates on the new date of the fundraiser and any additional information we learn.

Tickets to the event begin at $1,500 for general admission and $2,500 for VIP tickets. Table options are available starting at $30,000. According to America Project, proceeds from the event “will help cover costs and support the defendants and their families, with exclusive benefits and recognition at the gala.” Get tickets here!

Confirmed attendees at the J6 Gala include former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Trump advisor Peter Navarro, UFC Champion Colby Covington, conservative influencer Anthony “ConservativeAnt” Raidmoni, GenZ conservative influencers Bo Louden and Hannah Faulkner, as well as families of January 6th defendants. President Trump has been invited to attend and is expected by the organizers.

First Class Records President and former Mailman Media Head of recorded music LJ Fino told The Gateway Pundit, “His confirmation is pending campaign approval, but The President has expressed interest in attending, and we would be honored to have him there.”

Trump will also appear in Washington, DC, on September 5 for a status conference in Jack Smith’s bogus January 6 election interference case, hours before the J6 Gala.

Some RINOs like Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have lumped peaceful J6 defendants in with the feds who attacked police officers and vandalized the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and called on Trump to distance himself from “those who broke into the Capitol, destroyed the place and hurt police officers.” Graham recently joined CNN’s most prolific Trump hater, Jake Tapper, who reports that Trump’s campaign “says Donald Trump is not attending,” though this detail is not yet confirmed.

In regard to Trump hosting this event for peaceful protesters wrongfully imprisoned by the Marxist Biden Regime, Graham said, “I don’t like that very much, but I’ll leave it up to him as to what causes to support.”

Trump Reposts Photo With RFK Jr. Captioned “The Strongest Anti-Establishment Ticket in American History”

By: Jordan Conradson — August 27th 2024 at 18:40

President Trump on Friday reposted an image of himself and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaking in Glendale, Arizona with the caption, “The strongest anti-establishment ticket in American history.”

The post, which does not mention Trump’s current running mate, JD Vance, seemingly refers to Trump and RFK as a “ticket.” With the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump and the Kennedy family’s history of assassinations, this may truly be the only team that can end the deep state and expose the CIA.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, RFK Jr. suspended his presidential campaign last week and joined Trump onstage in Glendale, Arizona to announce a historic partnership between two anti-establishment leaders in American politics. During the rally, Trump unveiled a plan to form an expert panel in partnership with RFK to address the alarming rise of chronic diseases in children. RFK also announced that he would partner with President Trump’s administration to fight against big pharma.

The Gateway Pundit reported in January 2024 on the dream team that could be with Trump and RFK Jr. running on the same ticket and winning 60% of the general election vote. It was later reported by the New York Post that a Trump insider revealed the Trump campaign was interested early on in the potential of a Trump/Kennedy ticket. “Anything’s possible. I wouldn’t write it off by any means,” the insider said early on in Kennedy’s bid for the White House.

Trump ally Roger Stone also floated RFK as a potential Trump running mate in a Substack article last year, where he called on President Trump to “consider the drafting of RFK as the Republican vice presidential candidate in a ‘bipartisan’ unity ticket.” The idea was also spearheaded by Steve Bannon, who said on War Room a Trump/Kennedy ticket would “win a massive landslide.”

While a Trump/Vance sign is displayed in the photo, the X post from Benny Johnson, shared by Trump on Truth Social, makes no mention of JD Vance. This led some to speculate that Vance could be replaced on the ticket, which has been done before. The Democrats even canned their democratically elected presidential nominee after the primary election. Unlike Biden, nobody voted for JD Vance.

To many Trump supporters, who do not fall into the category of a traditional Republican voter and have supported Trump since day one, this would be a blessing. They do not see Vance as any different than the plethora of establishment Republicans and Never-Trumpers within the party.

After all, Vance, eight years ago before the 2016 election, described himself as a “Never Trump guy,” called him a “fraud,” called his supporters racists, and declared that he would vote for Hillary Clinton or a third party candidate in 2016. In now-deleted tweets, Vance declared his support for Evan McMullin for president in 2016 and lambasted soon-to-be President Trump in October 2016 for “making people I care about,” including Immigrants and Muslims, “afraid.” After Trump was inaugurated, in March 2017, Vance wrote, “In 4 years, I hope people remember that it was those of us who empathized with Trump’s voters who fought him the most aggressively.” He also liked a slew of tweets parroting leftwing talking points against Trump.

The Gateway Pundit previously highlighted some of his vicious rhetoric against President Trump, including calls for both sides to “despise Trump and what he stands for.”

Republican Candidate J. D. Vance Should Respond to His Many Anti-Trump Statements Before He Attempts to Win the Trump Vote in Ohio Primary

WATCH:

Vance further declared in a 2016 OP-ED for the New York Times that Trump is "unfit for our nation’s highest office."

Vance went on to write what could be aptly considered a love letter in 2017, titled "Barack Obama and Me. " In it, he outlined his admiration for Bill Clinton despite his sexually scandalous presidency, how Obama's life "seemed to embody my sense of the American ideal" and made him an "admirable man," and then declared before his final departure from the White House, "I’ll miss him, and the example he set."

The Vice Presidential nominee's anti-Trump rhetoric was later disavowed while he was vying for Trump's endorsement in a seven-way primary race for the Senate in 2022. Prior to entering the Senate race, Vance also scrubbed his Twitter feed of past posts attacking Trump.

However, as Trump has repeatedly said over the years, politicians tend to revert to their original stance on a topic.

Still, RFK has his own drawbacks. As Roger Stone notes in his 2023 OP-ED, RFK "has a long record of environmental activism and support for other progressive policies." In fact, RFK has been so radical on environmentalism that he's called for imprisonment or other consequences for influential climate skeptics and politicians who deny climate change. While RFK claims these remarks were taken out of context, he has a history of extreme environmental stances, including a permanent ban on natural gas exports.

Time is running out to determine whether or not Vance is another Mike Pence, who began sabotaging President Trump early on in his first term and later betrayed the country on the world stage by cowering and certifying the stolen 2020 election.

Recall Trump's famous recitation of "The Snake" poem, which partially reads:

"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake...

"I saved you," cried that woman
"And you've bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake before vou took me in"

WATCH LIVE: GOP Reps to Hold “J13 Forum” to Analyze Assassination Attempt of President Trump and Secret Service Failures – 12 PM ET

By: Jordan Conradson — August 26th 2024 at 10:40

Five GOP Representatives are set to hold an unofficial congressional hearing in Washington, DC, today at noon with subject matter experts to analyze Secret Service security failures at President Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last month when a shooter opened fire, injuring several, including the president, and killing an innocent bystander.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, damning revelations have come to light since the assassination attempt, including whistleblower allegations that the Secret Service headquarters specifically ordered agents not to request any additional manpower, emerging details about Secret Service ignoring local law enforcement’s warnings about the shooter, and several agents involved in Trump’s July 13 security planning being placed on administrative leave.

This is in addition to Democrats’ calls for violence against conservatives and President Trump for the last eight years, and even calling for Joe Biden to “send in Seal Team 6” to kill Trump, following SCOTUS’ ruling in favor of presidential immunity. Biden also told donors on a private call and tweeted days before the attempt on Trump’s life, “It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.” Meanwhile, Trump and his supporters are constantly attacked for “violent speech” and accused of inciting violence, specifically on January 6, 2021.

Rep. Cory Mills previously suggested “a ‘J13′ committee styled after the Democrats’ Jan. 6″ committee,” citing the “hypocrisy” of Democrats’ violence-inciting statements leading up to the assassination attempt, per Fox.

“Are they not going to be also with a J13-style select committee, as we did with J6, so that we can go ahead and play a tit-for-tat on how this works?” Mills asked. “I think that we need to understand that the games that they continue to play, that the idea of their hyper-polarization of our political system, is really on them.”

Per Rep. Eli Crane, “This Monday’s J13 Forum will give the American people the opportunity to hear from subject matter experts who will provide us with deeper insights into the massive security failures at the Butler rally.”
