“I was 10 years old when my uncle was assassinated and I remember it like it was yesterday,” said Robert F. Kennedy Jr on Fox News, hours after a bullet skimmed the side of Donald Trump’s head. Kennedy recalled the days after that tragedy in 1963. “There was a healing that took place,” he said.
BUTLER, Pa. (AP) — On the heels of an attempt to kill him, former President Donald Trump called Sunday for unity and resilience as shocked leaders across the political divide recoiled from the shooting that left him wounded but “fine.”
A former fire chief attending the rally with family was killed, as was the gunman. Two other people were also critically wounded.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee said the upper part of his right ear was pierced in the shooting. His aides said he was in “great spirits” and doing well.
Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle facing mounting calls to resign after ‘total security breakdown’ at Trump rally
Calls are mounting for the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Critics claim Cheatle dropped the ball on security measures at Saturday’s Trump rally — saying she has been too focused on woke “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” policies, such as making sure the department is 30 percent women by 2030, to take care of the agency’s more crucial business. They note she even allowed a YouTube influencer to train with agents last year.

Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc says top Canadian security officials have assured him that they have upped their vigilance following Saturday’s assassination attempt on former U.S. president Donald Trump.
In a series of posts on social media on Sunday, LeBlanc said he met with RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme, David Vigneault, director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, and Public Safety Canada officials.
“They have assured me that they are exercising increased vigilance and are in close contact with their American partners,” the minister said. “I have every confidence that they will continue to keep Canadians safe.”
French authorities have rejected more than 3,500 applicants to work at the Olympics over terror links and security threats.
Gérald Darmanin, the interior minister, announced that the government conducted hundreds of thousands of investigations to screen applicants who posed a risk to the games and to national security.
He said: “770,000 administrative investigations have been carried out to date, resulting in the exclusion of 3,570 people.”
NEW YORK—Bobby Corrigan, a world-renowned rat expert, grew up in Brooklyn reading mystery novels. He dreamed of being a detective, but instead used his sleuthing instincts and science credentials to become the Sherlock Holmes of rodent control.
One morning this spring, Corrigan, 73, stood in a small auditorium inside New York City’s health department. The room was church-like, with high ceilings, wood-panelled walls and frosted glass windows. Looming behind him, projected on a large screen above a wooden stage, was a whiskered rodent with a long naked tail.
Vehicle theft continues to be a significant problem in Mississauga and Brampton with over 3000 reported incidents in the last seven months, a trend that has persisted since 2023.
Peel police data indicates that from Jan. 1 to July 14, a combined 3900 vehicle thefts were reported across both cities—1948 in Mississauga and 1942 in Brampton.
The left-wing voter-turnout group that once received a small donation from the man suspected of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump described the former president as a “threat to our democracy” just hours before the shooting but is denouncing the violence unleashed at Saturday’s rally in Pennsylvania.
The Olympic Games return to Paris after a century’s absence, yet there is little excitement in the air. In Middle America, I really don’t hear anybody talking about them. Occasionally, some sports commercial reminds viewers about athletes whose names have largely been forgotten since their last appearance on the world stage. A few Big Box stores are selling Olympic-themed t-shirts, toys, dog leashes, drink mugs, and other sundries. Now and then, someone remarks that this would be a terrible time to visit the City of Light. Besides the knickknacks and small talk, though, few seem to care.
It shouldn’t be news by now but if it is: These people aren’t playing games.
As of this writing, there’s little to say about the assassination attempt against the former president other than thank God he’s reportedly okay and deep condolences to anyone at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania who may have suffered serious injuries.
A FEDERAL jury has convicted Hunter Biden on three felony gun charges. It concluded that he violated laws meant to prevent drug addicts from owning firearms.
Referring to his wayward son’s fight against his addictions, the President said: ‘We are so proud of the man he is today.’
Considering the multiple charges against 54-year-old Hunter that were not pursued by prosecutors, his father’s pride seems rather inappropriate. One wonders if he is also proud of the following . . .
After the Rumble with the Mumble debate our President is now officially away with the fairies in the view of most constituencies in the U.S. But after he released statements earlier this week stating that folks will have to prise his cold dead hands away from both the Presidency and the Democrat nomination for another term, he picked up some surprising support. The mainstream media were now stuck on the fence not knowing what to do despite earlier comments that assumed Biden would go. Ditto many Democrat power brokers and establishment folks.
Why slavery is not America’s original sin
Modern histories tend to rely heavily on the new ideological pieties of left-wing activists. First among these is the belief that we live in a totally corrupt and oppressive society – in fact, in the world’s most oppressive and corrupt society. Feeding this belief is the widely accepted claim – at least, within the modern Western world – that slavery is the United States’ ‘original sin’, and alleged to be uniquely evil as practised within the US.
One major American textbook, Traditions and Encounters, appears to describe the Western-dominated slave trade as the largest and most brutal in history, calling even the full sweep of Arab / Islamic slavery ‘smaller than the Atlantic slave trade of modern times’. Elsewhere, the 1619 Project’s Nikole Hannah-Jones argues bluntly: ‘America’s brutal system of slavery [was] unlike anything that had existed in the world before. Enslaved people were… property that could be mortgaged, traded, bought, sold, used as collateral, given as a gift and disposed of violently.’
— “So before being put in charge of protecting the PRESIDENT, she was guarding bags of Cheetos.” —
This attempted murder may galvanize both Trump and a majority of the American people to deal with the Left decisively. We must hope so.
The annals of American history will have few artifacts as potent as the iconic image taken by Associated Press photographer Evan Vucci, of a bloodied but defiant Trump, rising from a symbolic grave, fist raised, and framed by an American flag. This election is likely over. Trump went down as a fatmouthing politician, and rose as a pagan demigod. If Jesus Christ and George Washington came down from heaven to replace Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on the Democratic ticket, Trump would still likely win in a landslide.
By election-time 2025, EV mandates in Canada, the United States, and Europe may well be gone, or at least watered down
The language of law must not be foreign to the ears of those who are to obey it
For those for whom the mere mention of anything legalese is cruel and unusual punishment, let me apologize. Profusely. Were it not for an extremely important, but much-ignored, missive from Reuters last week, I, too, would avoid all things constitutional as forcefully as warm beer and tight stockings. Delving into the language of lawyers, as it turns out, makes Bernoullian physics seem simple and straightforward in comparison.
