Like its competitors on CBS and NBC, ABC’s Good Morning America took time on Friday to get to former President Trump’s Republican National Convention speech and the hubbub surrounding President Biden’s cognitive and physical impairment thanks to the global Microsoft outage. But when they did, they denounced Trump’s “anti-immigrant”, “dark”, and “divisive” speech while continuing to dig Biden’s political grave.
Less than a week after a would-be assassin tried to kill former President Donald Trump, Hollywood star Barbra Streisand is pushing a bizarre claim that Trump brought this on himself because he is a “bully.”
According to Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, the Butler County Sheriff’s Office did not wear body cameras.
The conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch promptly began investigating the Secret Service’s failures and security breaches related to the attempted assassination of President Trump.

So, how long did it last? How long, after the attempted assassination of the former president and current front-runner, did all the “turn down the temperature” and “scale back the rhetoric” we heard from the mainstream media endure? How long did the cooling period last after their grudging concession that while they can’t stand Trump, maybe they went overboard with the constant shrieking about the end of Our Democracy™ and the rise of yet another Worse-Than-Hitler president?
At the height of the “QAnon” fervor in 2021 – roughly 23% of Republicans said they believed the theory that Donald Trump is fighting a cabal of satanic, sex-trafficking pedophiles.
Epstein didn’t kill himself pal.
David Lammy has refused to say whether he was wrong about Donald Trump, after previously calling the former US president a “neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath”.
The Foreign Secretary said Trump had the “thickest of skins” after he was challenged over comments he made as a backbench MP in 2018 and if it could affect UK-US relations if the Republican nominee wins November’s presidential election.
Mr Lammy told BBC Breakfast: “Donald Trump is the biggest, in many ways, of political characters we have at this point on the planet.
Much has been written about the Secret Service’s failure to secure the rooftop of the most obvious sniper hide in the area of Donald Trump. There are two possible conclusions: (1) From the lowest ranking agent present, to present supervisors, to the Director, the Secret Service (SS) is unbelievably incompetent. Or (2) the SS at some level or levels, perhaps on its own or acting on direction from above, was doing all it could to create vulnerabilities with plausible deniability, vulnerabilities they hoped someone would exploit to kill Donald Trump. A related possibility is they were creating those vulnerabilities while someone was simultaneously working to ensure someone exploited those vulnerabilities.
Nobody wants to hear this because of the implications, but oh well, because it needs to be said: Joe Biden’s security regime deliberately and with malice aforethought created the conditions that led to an attempted assassin shooting Donald Trump in the head. It is by the grace of God that he lived and our nation is not currently in the midst of a violent civil war.
They deliberately starved Trump’s security team of the resources it needed. And they did it repeatedly, over many weeks and months.

Max Boot – a big fan of ‘forever wars’ who laundered Trump-Russia conspiracy theories through the Washington Post – is married to a South Korean spy who used to work for the CIA, and is a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (now on ‘administrative leave) – according to a new indictment revealed on Wednesday.

“The strength of our organization,” Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle argued in the 2023 report, lay in, among other things, “seeking out the boundless benefits of diversity.”
The Secret Service offers “leadership training on how best to support LGBTQ+ employees” and “training on unconscious bias” which is the idea that all white people are innately racist, and tries to guide more “more inclusive decisions” while “increasing empathy” for minorities.
Kimberly Cheatle applied to join the Secret Service before she graduated from college in 1992. For nearly 30 years, the job gave her a front-row seat to history—until Saturday, when she became a part of it.
As a young agent, Cheatle was part of a team that secured Vice President Dick Cheney on Sept. 11, 2001, working in the White House at a moment when many feared Washington was facing an imminent attack. She later served on Vice President Joe Biden’s protective detail, where she was assigned to Jill Biden and built a rapport with her through a combination of competence and affability, former agents said.
WOAH Listen To This: Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle “She has close ties to the Cheneys, the Bidens and is responsible for the J6 deleted texts scandal”
She “evacuated vice president Dick Cheney on 9/11”

In the last few weeks, there has been a surge in the number of Americans searching online about moving to Canada and recent political events appear to have been a major catalyst.
But will they follow through?
Immigration lawyers say it’s a difficult question to answer, but they are already starting to see an uptick in U.S. citizens contacting their offices for help.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A former president is wounded in a shooting, the gunman quickly neutralized, and all of it is caught on camera. But for those who don’t believe their eyes, that’s just the start of the story.
For some supporters of Donald Trump, the failure of the Secret Service to prevent the attempted assassination of the Republican former president points to a conspiracy orchestrated by Democratic President Joe Biden. For some of Trump’s critics, however, the details of the shooting don’t add up. They wonder if Trump staged the whole thing.
I don’t know of anyone who has suggested Dementia Joe was behind the assassination attempt. The Deep State maybe.
It’s much more likely that the prolonged TDS propagated by the left and the media created the mass acceptance of political homicide.
MILWAUKEE — Four senators confronted Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle on Wednesday evening at the Republican National Convention, demanding that she “resign tonight or start answering our questions.”
GOP Sens. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, John Barrasso of Wyoming, James Lankford of Oklahoma and Kevin Cramer of North Dakota chased Cheatle through the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.

About an hour before a gunman let loose a volley of bullets that nearly assassinated a former president, the law enforcement contingent in Butler, Pa., was on the verge of a great policing success.
Among the thousands of people streaming in to cheer former President Donald J. Trump at a campaign rally on Saturday, local officers spotted one skinny young man acting oddly and notified other law enforcement. The Secret Service, too, was informed, through radio communication. The suspicious man did not appear to have a weapon.
Remarkably, law enforcement had found the right man — Thomas Matthew Crooks, a would-be assassin, though officers did not know that at the time. Then they lost track of him.
JUST IN: Secret Service was aware of the potential threat 10 minutes before Donald Trump took the stage in Pennsylvania but let him go out anyway.
The revelation was made during a Senate briefing today.
