Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsed Kamala Harris on Monday afternoon following Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 race.

Pelosi’s full statement on Harris:

“America has been truly blessed by the wisdom and leadership of President Joe Biden. With love and gratitude, I salute President Biden for always believing in the possibilities of America and giving people the opportunity to reach their fulfillment. As one of our country’s most consequential presidents, President Biden has been not only on the right side of history, but on the right side of the future.

“Today, it is with immense pride and limitless optimism for our country’s future that I endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States. My enthusiastic support for Kamala Harris for President is official, personal and political.

“Officially, I have seen Kamala Harris’s strength and courage as a champion for working families, notably fighting for a woman’s right to choose. Personally, I have known Kamala Harris for decades as rooted in strong values, faith and a commitment to public service. Politically, make no mistake: Kamala Harris as a woman in politics is brilliantly astute – and I have full confidence that she will lead us to victory in November.

“In the Democratic Party, our diversity is our strength and our unity is our power. Now, we must unify and charge forward to resoundingly defeat Donald Trump and enthusiastically elect Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States. Onward to victory!”

With immense pride and limitless optimism for our country’s future, I endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States. I have full confidence that she will lead us to victory in November.

Pelosi reportedly threatened Joe Biden as she pressured him to drop out of the 2024 race.

Barack Obama damaged Joe Biden with leaks to the media.

Nancy Pelosi straight up threatened Biden, according to Politico.

Per Politico: “Nancy made clear that they could do this the easy way or the hard way,” said one Democrat familiar with private conversations who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. “She gave them three weeks of the easy way. It was about to be the hard way.”

After nearly a week of getting battered by damaging leaks, Joe Biden on Sunday announced he is dropping out of the 2024 race.

Representative Eli Crane (R-AZ) took a trip to Butler, Pennsylvania, and got on the roof of the American Glass Research Building, where Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed up and sniped President Trump and fired on several rallygoers at Trump’s rally on July 13.

Rep. Crane posted a video of himself on top of the building and stated, “I’m here on the building where the supposed sniper took a shot; it’s not that steep at all. We just had a 70-year-old back here climb up on the roof easily.”

Crane continued, “See that water tower behind me? Had the Secret Service or anybody had sniper teams up there, this guy would not have made it five feet up this roof he would’ve been taken out.”

“Behind me, you see the windows that the Secret Service were supposedly in the second-floor of this building behind; makes you wonder why they weren’t able to quickly dispatch the individual.”

Crane concluded his video by saying, “Lot of questions here in Butler.”

Gaetz Ethics Inquiry Takes Dubious Turn

Gaetz Ethics Inquiry Takes Dubious Turn

Is an advocate of foreign policy restraint being railroaded?


Credit: BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty Images

Amid the hurly-burly of presidential dropouts, attempted presidential assassinations, and novel presidential conventions, the gears of Washington grind on. 

A sideline moment of the winding last week in Wisconsin was a direct confrontation between Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and his pet aversion, the former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. 

“What night are you speaking?” Gaetz quizzed McCarthy. “Are you speaking tonight?” 

“If you took that stage, you would get booed off of it,” he added. “You would get booed off the stage.” In a game-after interview with CNN, McCarthy shot back: “[Gaetz] looks very unhinged.” 

The representative from Florida’s First District, of course, led the successful charge last autumn to defenestrate the then-speaker. Gaetz alleged a panoply of heresies—spending issues, foreign policy, etc—where McCarthy was said to be deficient in comparison to alternatives. 

Gaetz eventually backed now-Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). 

McCarthy, as of late, has said the story is simpler. The Californian wouldn’t stop a House Ethics Committee investigation into years-old allegations against Gaetz (allegations for which he was never charged). But from the outside looking in, McCarthy’s side of the story would seem no clean tale of moral probity. 

Far from being above the fray, McCarthy in private life has initiated a “revenge tour” of sorts, attempting to primary his former foes in Congress. 

Perhaps most prominently, Charleston-area Congresswoman Nancy Mace—a former McCarthy acolyte turned ally of Gaetz et al.—survived a primary challenge in June. “I want to send him back to the rock he’s living under right now. He’s not part of America.… I hope I drive Kevin McCarthy crazy,” Mace told the Times.

Now the primary effort of the hardliners and the ethics investigation against Gaetz have apparently merged. 

Congressman David Joyce (R-OH) is a member of the House Ethics Committee, which is probing Gaetz. The American Conservative found financial disclosures that reveal Rep. Joyce’s campaign and his leadership PAC donated a combined $7,000 to Gaetz’s primary challenger, Aaron Dimmock.  

For his part, Gaetz told TAC: “It is no surprise to see Mr. Joyce, a stock-trading member of the ethics committee, funding my opponent. The ethics committee was hand picked by McCarthy and they will do his bidding in elections and in their witch hunt coming after me.” 

There is evidence here of a $2,000 transaction from Friends of Dave Joyce (his campaign committee) and then $5,000 from Defending American Values Everywhere PAC (DAVE PAC)—his leadership committee.

What comes next is unclear. 

Depending on what the committee finds (a source close to the matter indicates the likely timeline is “at this rate” after the election), Gaetz could face expulsion from the House. But the stink of potential conflict-of-interest could corrode the legitimacy of any report. 

And the political realpolitik is murky.

Gaetz is a stalwart ally of Trump, and if the president is re-elected, it would seem unlikely that the first order of the day would be to punish allies based on a potentially tainted report. 

If Trump loses, and the Democrats take the House, the precedent of removing a member of Congress who has never been charged with a crime would also weigh heavily. Recent examples such as Rep. George Santos of New York and Rep. James Traficant of Ohio involved situations in which both figures had at least been charged with crimes.  

Most serious: There is the question of why Gaetz has been such a focus. 

Since at least 2019, Gaetz has set himself apart in advocating for a hardline position of foreign policy restraint, making him a standout in a Trumpian fray that has countenanced hawkish and even neoconservative elements. 

“The ‘fog of war’ is no fog to me, or any of the 700,000 people I serve,” Gaetz said five springs ago, when he was beginning to make his mark on this front. 

“It is not hazy,” said Gaetz, whose North Florida district has among the highest concentrations of active-duty military in America. “We see the impact of war every day among the people we love who shape our lives.” 

Add in the background of Joyce. 

Ohio has rising stars on the restraint right such as the vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and Rep. Warren Davidson. And the Buckeye state would seem very much at the center of the new Republican politics, as I wrote for the TAC cover piece in the March/April 2024 issue. 

But in other ways, Ohio is a vestige of the old guard. 

Joyce has contemporaries such as Rep. Mike Turner, the House intel chair, who represents a more establishment perspective. Turner was a sparring partner with former Fox host Tucker Carlson. Turner’s district features an epic military base, “with over 30,000 employees and an annual contribution of $16.68 billion to our regional economy,” per Turner’s own reporting.   

Joyce was a prime advocate of the contentious foreign military aid packages to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan that passed out in the Spring. 

“Today was not only a vote to support our allies when they need it the most, but also a vote to protect America’s national security. China, Russia and Iran are anti-American regimes that have no intent of stopping their aggressions with our allies. They also pose a strong and dangerous threat to Americans here at home,” Joyce said. “This package provides the critical funding necessary for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan to defend their freedom. Something every American should stand for.”

For what it’s worth, Gaetz voted against all three of those packages.

WAYNE ROOT: I’ve Been Right About EVERYTHING So Far. Kamala’s the Worst Candidate in History. I Pray She is the Choice. But Democrats Aren’t That Stupid. There is a Surprise Coming.

By Wayne Allyn Root

Why doubt me now? My track record is the best in media history. I’m batting close to 1000%. Here are just a few of my recent hits…

*On 12/24/21 right here at TGP, I predicted the great Donald J. Trump comeback. When no one else thought he had a chance, I predicted Trump would steamroll the 2024 GOP nomination and become the favorite for President. At that time Trump had a fan club of one- me!

*Since the first Alvin Bragg indictment of Trump, I’ve predicted each indictment and conviction would make him stronger.

*For 2 years I’ve been predicting and warning Biden would be forced out before the convention.

*For weeks, I warned President Trump should not debate Biden in June, simply because Biden would never be the nominee come September.

*I warned Democrats planned the earliest debate in history to expose Biden as brain-dead and force him to drop out of the race.

*For weeks I predicted JD Vance as Trump’s pick for VP.

*I’ve predicted for months the Deep State would try to assassinate President Trump if all the indictments, trials and 34 felony convictions didn’t work.

My record is uncanny. That’s why I just don’t believe Democrats are dumb, delusional and clueless enough to make Kamala Harris their nominee. I think it’s all a head fake.

Here’s why…

Kamala is “the new Walter Mondale.” She is the worst candidate in US political history.

She has already proven herself the worst candidate in 2020. In a terribly weak field, she dropped out before getting a single delegate. As the only black candidate, she couldn’t get any black support in the Democrat primary. That’s really saying something.

Then she topped that performance by becoming the most mocked and despised Vice President in history. She was consistently more unpopular than her boss Joe Biden. And that’s a nearly impossible achievement.

She’s in the running with Dan Quayle as the most unpopular VP since the 1800s.

She is the border czar who never went to the border, and never did anything about the border. She is personally responsible for the wave of innocent American women and young girls who have been raped and murdered by the illegal alien invaders.

She is clearly dumber than a box of rocks. Her speaking ability is worse than her boss- who is literally brain-dead with dementia.

She is mocked for her early years when she gained political power as the girlfriend and lover of older married men- including Willie Brown. She’d be laughed off the world stage negotiating with macho men like Putin or Xi.

And I haven’t even gotten to the two worst weaknesses of Kamala…

As VP she was close to Biden for four long years. She is guilty of fraud versus the American people, by covering up Biden’s failing mental competency.

And she was VP and partner for the worst president in history. Biden’s policies on the border, inflation, green energy, crime, DEI, transgender brainwashing, and allowing boys to play in girls’ sports are all terrible failures and overwhelmingly unpopular. She defended all of them.

Trying to claim Kamala is their best shot is like that old saying- “Democrats are putting lipstick on a pig.” They have -0- chance with Kamala. Zero. Zip, Zilch, Nada.

I’m rooting for Kamala. I pray she is the candidate. And of course, it certainly looks like she has it won. She has the endorsement of Biden, George Soros’s son, unions and all 50 Democrat state chairs. It’s over, right? Kamala is “the one.”

Except, Obama is in charge.

Obama and his radical Marxist cabal are cunning, evil and corrupt. They know Kamala can’t win.

What do they have in mind?

Biden appears to be fading fast. He could resign as president any day now, or he might even be dying. That would make Kamala the incumbent President of the United States. And the first female president in history. Maybe that’s an option. That might create enough excitement to cover-up Kamala’s weaknesses.

Or they could add Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer as VP to create an all-female ticket.

Or more likely, they might be planning right now how to dump Kamala and pick a fresh face with no negatives at the convention.

Or Gavin and Hillary might be hanging around to try their luck at an open convention.

I’m sure RFK Jr and Senator Joe Manchin think they’re the answer.

But I can’t help thinking Michelle Obama is still the plan.

As I’ve predicted for two years now- I believe she’s always been the plan. There are three “tells.”

First, the Obamas did not endorse Kamala over the weekend.

Second, there are reports many of the biggest Democrat biggest donors were at Obama’s DC mansion over the weekend. Obama is plotting something.

Third, why is the convention in Chicago? I believe they’ve always planned on coronating Michelle at the last second in her hometown as an emergency backup plan.

Trust me, Obama, Democrats and the Deep State aren’t stupid. I’ve been predicting for two years now that they have to replace both Biden and Kamala for any chance to win. They just forced Joe out. My gut says they’re cooking up a plan to replace Kamala too.

Or maybe, it doesn’t really matter much to them who the candidate is. Maybe what they’re plotting is chaos and crisis for this Fall. They need America distracted by a new pandemic; anarchy in the streets; WW3 starting; and/or terror attacks. They just need enough crisis and a candidate to keep the polls close enough, so they can steal the election with 20 million illegal alien voters and fake mail-in ballots.

But in the end, I’m still betting that candidate is Michelle. And if not Michelle, it’s anyone but Kamala.

Kamala Takes Over: Joe Still Incommunicado While Harris Presides Over White House Event Honoring NCAA Athletes; Will Travel to Wilmington HQ to Say “Hello” to Campaign Staff

Kamala Harris is quickly taking over from Joe Biden after he was deposed as the Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee on Sunday. As Biden remained incommunicado at his Rehoboth Beach, Delaware beach house while recovering from COVID, Harris presided over a White House ceremony honoring NCAA athletes. Harris also posted she would visit the Wilmington, Delaware campaign headquarters of the former Biden campaign, now the Harris campaign, to say “hello” to staff. Harris did not say whether she will meet with Biden.

Harris posted Monday morning, “It’s the first full day of our campaign, so I’m heading up to Wilmington, DE later to say “hello” to our staff in HQ. One day down. 105 to go. Together, we’re going to win this.”

It’s the first full day of our campaign, so I’m heading up to Wilmington, DE later to say “hello” to our staff in HQ.

Earlier Monday, team Harris put out word to reporters that Harris spent ten hours on the phone working to consolidate her position as Biden’s successor (and talking to her pastor) while dressed in sweats and eating anchovy pizza. (CNN excerpt):

Joe Biden’s 1:46 p.m. ET Sunday announcement that he would not seek a second term ignited a frenetic push by Harris to consolidate the support of a party that had been in crisis in the weeks since the president’s dismal performance during his June 27 debate with former President Donald Trump.

Harris knew what Biden had decided: She’d had multiple phone calls with Biden on Sunday, a person familiar with the matter said. Once the announcement came, Harris — wearing a hoodie from her alma mater, Howard University, workout sweats and sneakers — made more than 100 phone calls over 10 hours.

Alongside her family and staff, the vice president’s calls included lawmakers, governors and leaders of influential labor, advocacy and civil rights groups.

Those calls included former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, as well as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The Clintons, in a statement Sunday, endorsed Harris; Obama did not, deferring to the party’s process.

Harris also called her pastor, Amos Brown III, who, along with his wife, prayed over her, the source said. She ate pizza with anchovies — Harris’ go-to topping — for dinner.

“I Would Have to Refer You to the FBI” – Secret Service Director Cheatle Refuses to Say if Would-Be Trump Assassin Thomas Crooks Acted Alone (VIDEO)

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle appeared before the House Oversight Committee on Monday to answer questions about the so-called security breaches that led to an assassination attempt on Trump during his Butler, Pennsylvania rally on July 13.

She stonewalled during the interview. She refused to answer any pertinent questions! Cheatle did not answer any important questions and blamed it on “an ongoing investigation.”

She should resign immediately!

Cheatle revealed that she hasn’t even visited the site of the assassination attempt in Butler nine days into the investigation.

GOP Rep. Andy Biggs asked Cheatle if Thomas Matthew Crooks worked alone.

“I would have to refer you to the FBI investigation,” Cheatle said.

Crooks did not work alone.

Nine days ago President Trump was grazed in the ear after a 20-year-old gunman named Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed on a roof and took several shots at Trump and rallygoers in Butler, Pennsylvania.

This is the full clip.

The gunman’s attempt on Trump’s life had little to do with lack of security. The Secret Service refused to act even though they identified Crooks as a threat before Trump took the stage.

A Senate briefing revealed the Secret Service identified Crooks as suspicious 10 minutes before Trump took the stage.

Thomas Matthew Crooks was seen bear crawling on the roof as bystanders pointed him out to law enforcement.

The Secret Service did not secure a roof next to Trump’s rally even though they identified it as a security vulnerability several days before the event.

Crooks also reportedly flew a drone over the Butler, Pennsylvania fairgrounds and got aerial footage of the layout shortly before Trump took the stage at last Saturday’s rally.

Crooks had two cell phones and used three encrypted accounts overseas to communicate.

The FBI found Crooks’ second cell phone at his home with only 27 contacts, The Daily Mail reported.

Police found a cell phone and a bomb detonator next to Thomas Matthew Crooks after a Secret Service sniper fatally shot him on a rooftop outside of Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania rally.

It was previously reported by The Wall Street Journal and CNN that Crooks had explosives in a vehicle which was parked next to the rally.

Details about the explosives are not known.

However, according to CNN, investigators found no online search history of Crooks researching how to assemble homemade explosives.

“It’s unclear how Crooks assembled the explosive devices found in his car. Investigators parsing through his online search history haven’t found any indication of him researching how to make home-made explosives, law enforcement officials said.” – CNN reported.

The so-called ‘security lapses’ and circumstances surrounding the assassination attempt against Trump raise questions about how Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to pull everything off by himself.

Crooks reportedly purchased a 5-foot ladder from Home Depot the morning of the assassination attempt.

How did he know he needed a ladder to access a rooftop with a clear line to President Trump? Crooks did not use the newly-purchased ladder because the one photographed is larger than the one he bought from Home Depot.

Crooks was not a lone wolf.

Cheatle denied the requests.

Joseph Phillip Daniel was waiting for Cheatle as she pulled up to the US Capitol.

Phillip Daniel screamed out, “You failed Cheatle in assassinating Trump! You failed! Satan isn’t all powerful. You’re on the wrong side and reap what you sow. God is good. God is in control, Cheatle!”

Cheatle then proceeded to the Congressional hearing where she refused to answer any important questions.

Frank Biden Smeared as an “Alcoholic” After He Suggests Biden is Terminal

This is turning into a Jerry Springer episode!

Frank Biden was smeared as an “alcoholic” after he suggested Joe Biden is terminal.

Frank Biden

Joe Biden’s brother, Frank Biden, told CBS News that Biden’s declining health played a considerable role in his decision to drop out.

Joe Biden officially dropped out of the 2024 presidential race on Sunday.

Biden made the announcement on X like a coward. He has been hiding out at his Rehoboth Beach house for four days.

Joe Biden didn’t say why he was dropping out of the race.

*We know Obama was behind the coup.*

There was a ‘funeral-like’ feeling to Frank Biden’s statement to CBS News.

He suggested Joe Biden is terminal.

Frank Biden told CBS News that he wants Biden back to “enjoy whatever time we have left.”

“I’m incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left,” Frank Biden told CBS News.

They threw Frank Biden under the bus after he said the quiet part out loud.

“Frank Biden suffers from alcoholism and hasn’t spoken to his brother in weeks. What he said…is completely untrue,” a source ‘close to the Biden family’ (probably Nurse Jill) told CBS News.

Frank Biden told @cbsnews that his brother’s health, “in my humble opinion absolutely” contributed to his decision to bow out. But source close to Biden fam says “Frank Biden suffers from alcoholism and hasn’t spoken to his brother in weeks. What he said…is completely untrue.”

Ablechild: Important Questions Still Unanswered Related to Identification and Custody of Body of Would-be Assassin

Guest post by Joe Hoft at JoeHoft.com – republished with permission

Important Questions Still Unanswered Related to Identification and Custody of Body of Would-be Assassin

The following is republished with permission from AbleChild.

AbleChild posted an exclusive article on July 18th revealing that the Allegany County, PA coroner’s office had conducted the autopsy on Thomas Matthew Crooks and according to Jessica in the coroner’s office the manner of death was homicide, and the cause of death was a gunshot wound. However, the coroner’s office refused to provide any details about the date and time the body had arrived at the office and what tests had been conducted during the autopsy, such as a toxicology report which would include test for psychiatric drugs if the shooter had a mental health diagnosis.

Contrary to several news articles, including FOX News and TMZ, the Coroner’s office did not publicly provide information about where the shooter, Thomas Mathew Crooks, was shot…that is where on his body. According to Fox, TMZ and other news organizations, “Crooks died from a gunshot wound to the head.” The coroner’s office only provided the following information: the cause of death is gunshot and manner of death is homicide. The coroner’s office did not make public where on the shooter’s body the gunshot occurred.

It is unclear when the FBI will make publicly available the complete autopsy information, including where on the body the shooter was hit and any toxicology reports, but there are other pressing issues to consider regarding the on-going investigation.

For example, there are several news reports about the efforts taken by the FBI to identify the would-be assassin, including DNA. CNN reported on Sunday, July 14th that agents had “to run his DNA and get biometric confirmation.” However, there is conflicting information about when and where the shooter was confirmed dead and even when law enforcement learned of the shooter’s identity.

Why should the FBI have to conduct DNA analysis when the shooter’s identity had already been established within 30 minutes of the shooting. According to a July 17th article by CNN, “within 30 minutes of the shooting…federal law enforcement used a byzantine paper records system to track down decades-old gun sales records to help identify the 20-year-old would-be assassin.” The article continues, “results were provided to the FBI and Secret Service in less than 30 minutes.”

Based on the above information, it would appear that the FBI knew of the shooter’s identity literally within thirty minutes of the attack. But it is the whereabouts of the shooter’s body that is troublesome. According to the local Butler Eagle Newspaper, “The coroner and another Deputy later returned after 6a.m. to the American Glass Research (AGR) International building, where he climbed on to its roof to confirm the death of Thomas Matthew Crooks…”

Are you kidding? Twelve hours after the shooting, the coroner is on the roof of the AGR building confirming the shooters death? Was the body lying on top of that building for twelve hours? This is bizarre. What is the chain of custody on this body? Where is the video/photos of this body lying on this roof at 6 a.m.? It’s time for law enforcement to explain the chain of custody of this body and, if the Butler Eagle account is correct, why was this body still on the roof twelve hours after the shooting?

Holy Crap! Secret Service Director Admits that Crooks Had a Range Finder – And that Was Completely Acceptable! (VIDEO)

Secret Service Director says it is acceptable for attendees to have a range finder at the Trump rally.

United States Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle testified before the House Oversight Committee on Monday morning.

She stonewalled during the interview. She refused to answer any pertinent questions! Cheatle did not answer any important questions and blamed it on “an ongoing investigation.”

She should resign immediately!

Cheatle appeared before the committee alone and under subpoena. She refused to answer questions on the failures of the Secret Service in the deadly assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump that left one man dead and three, including President Trump, injured.

During questioning Director Cheatle told Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) that it was totally acceptable for people to bring in range finders to Trump rallies.

This is insane!

Rep. Stephen Lynch: Did he have a range finder? There were some reports that the individual had a range finder. That would certainly raise my suspicion. Did he have a range finder?

Director Cheatle: Yes, he did. But may I explain that at a number of our sites, especially when you’re at outdoor venues, a range finder is not a prohibited item. It is sometimes an item that is brought in by individuals. If you’re going to be in the back.

Rep. Lynch: But did anybody confront him on that? Anybody ask him questions? What are you doing with the range finder? Anybody confront him on his presence, where he was in proximity to the President?

Director Cheatle: So again, to my knowledge, I believe that that was the process that was taking place was to locate the individual.

Rep. Lynch: Did they confront him? Did they go up to him? Did they talk to him?

Director Cheatle: I do not have those details at this time.

Rep. Lynch: Those are important details.

Here is the list of items that are not allowed at a Trump rally.

Here’s the Complete Secret Service Prohibited List:
– Aerosols
– alcoholic beverages
– appliances, i.e. toasters
– backpacks, bags, or suitcases exceeding 12’X14″X5″
– balloons
– balls
– banners, signs or placards
– chairs
-coolers
– drones
– e-cigarettes
– explosives of any kind, including firecrackers
– firearms
– glass, thermal and metal containers
– laser lights or laser pointers
– mace or pepper spray
– noisemakers such as air horns, whistles, drums, bullhorns, etc
– packages
– poles, sticks, selfie sticks
– spray containers
– structures
– supports for signs or placards
– tripods
– umbrellas
– weapons

You can’t bring a lighter in but you can bring in a range finder so you can plan your assassination attempts on a US president? Makes perfect sense.
