Guest post by Raven Harrison, Founder and President of Restore Our American Republic (R.O.A.R.), author of the book “Raven’s Mantle: Fighting the Betrayal of America”, host of the podcast “Raven’s Radar” and featured in the documentary “Ravenous: Fighting the Betrayal of America”:

It has been said that “it is always darkest before the dawn.” Nothing exemplifies this more clearly than the attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13th, 2024. The past 3 1⁄2 years under the confused, dictatorial Biden regime have left the world desperately waiting for the return of the “light” in the form of a free and prosperous America. The evil that has consumed our great nation boldly attempted to extinguish the fire burning within every patriot by attempting to assassinate the most prominent champion of hope, President Trump. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, JFK, Reagan, and now President Trump. What trait did these men possess that has put them in such grave danger? What pattern exists among those who were and were almost assassinated?

A dangerous pattern was repeated last night and has become the hallmark of tyrannical regimes. 1. Discredit. 2. Imprison. 3. Eliminate. Every dictator in past and modern history, with the help of the complicit media, has used this strategy to control its people. America remains the last bastion of freedom, only as long as the checks and balances that prevent government overreach and impropriety remain. The fractures in this check and oversight are laid bare when an attempt is made on the life of a presidential candidate, especially one who has been subjected to relentless persecution by his political opponent and all the government apparatuses he controls.

This attempt on the life of President Trump is an obvious, pervasive and symptomatic failing of the U.S. government at the highest levels. Not anywhere in modern history have we seen such divisive, hateful and violent rhetoric being espoused and condoned by a political party, in this case the Democrats and left-leaning media. For years and increasingly prevalent in the past week, have been the calls for extreme violence against President Trump and his supporters. This hate-filled, anti American, base vitriol has come from many high profile Democrat officials including President Joe Biden himself, who recently commented that we should “put a bull’s eye on Trump”.
Democrat House of Representatives member Dan Goldman (D-NY) went on live television and stated “Trump should be eliminated”.

The assassination attempt on Donald J. Trump was a foreseeable outcome after years of hateful and violent rhetoric being espoused and celebrated by the Democrats.

This kind of reckless rhetoric being supported by sitting government officials exemplifies the dire state of our Republic. Instead of closing our wide open borders to prevent more murders of American citizens, or cutting spending to address the crippling inflation that is strangling American families, seniors and veterans, the democrats have chosen to attack Trump and his supporters. I fear they will once again blame the gun and not the shooter of the gun. This, like every scheme hatched to keep President Trump out of office, will backfire spectacularly.

Regardless of political affiliation, the momentum in recent months has been and continues to be in President Trump’s favor. Even more since Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance in which the world witnessed the truth of Biden’s abilities, in spite of the gaslighting campaign the Democrats trotted out over the last 3 1⁄2 years. Overwhelming evidence of Biden’s mental decline, coupled with reports of freezes in donations from mega donors have combined to amplify calls from even the staunchest of liberals for Biden to step down and suspend his campaign. Additionally reports of “civil war” amidst the DNC titans paint a Titanic-esque picture for the Democrat party. The DNC’s grip on government power appears as fragile as Joe Biden’s mental acuity.

The energy at this year’s Republican National Convention will be high, strong and patriotic; a mirror of the demonstrated traits of President Donald Trump. The images that have emerged from the aftermath of the attempted assassination have cemented President Trump’s legacy of true leadership, courage and strength in the face of adversity. It is this spirit that will unite the conservatives, moderates and the undecided under the flag of patriotism.

The attempted assassination of President Donald Trump by an un-American lunatic was the least American thing the world could have witnessed. A slap in the face of the very freedom many fought and died for.

On July 13th, 2024 a strong, bloody and boldly defiant Donald J. Trump stood and encouraged patriots to keep fighting as he resisted attempts for the Secret Service to whisk him to safety. Americans saw true leadership for the first time in 3 1⁄2 long years.

In a significant development, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer reportedly told President Joe Biden that he should withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. According to an ABC News report, Schumer’s candid conversation with Biden took place during a visit to Delaware, where he emphasized the growing concern among key Democrats about Biden’s chances of securing re-election against former President Donald Trump.

Schumer’s sentiment echoes similar concerns from other prominent Democrats. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have also conveyed their doubts about Biden’s viability as the Democratic nominee. Pelosi, in a private phone call, pointed to polling data suggesting Biden’s potential inability to defeat Trump, which could jeopardize the Democrats’ control of the House​.

The pressure on Biden has intensified following a New York Times report indicating that the president acknowledged to a key ally the possibility of stepping aside if his campaign faced further setbacks. Despite this, Biden has publicly reaffirmed his commitment to the race, insisting to his campaign staff and supporters that he intends to stay the course and secure a second term​.

This internal party tension has led to speculations about potential replacements for Biden on the Democratic ticket. High-profile governors such as Gavin Newsom of California, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, and J.B. Pritzker of Illinois have been mentioned as possible candidates. These governors, along with others, attended a crisis meeting at the White House to discuss the future of the party’s strategy and express their support for Biden​​.

Yikes.

Biden’s team is throwing Pelosi, Schumer and even Obama under the bus.

If Biden isn’t leaving the race after these 3 have spoken t him, I have a hard time believing he’s going to leave the race at all.

However, the growing calls for Biden to step aside are not limited to political figures. A recent poll conducted by the Associated Press and the University of Chicago found that about two-thirds of Democratic supporters believe Biden should withdraw from the race. This survey, which included over 1,200 voters, underscores the deepening concern within the party about Biden’s chances in the upcoming election​​.

Adding to the urgency, the Leadership Now Project, a group of business leaders focused on countering threats to democracy, has also called for Biden to step down as the Democratic nominee. They argue that the stakes are too high to ignore the risks posed by Biden’s continued candidacy​​.

Despite these mounting pressures, Biden’s campaign has been working diligently to bolster support. The president plans to sit for an interview with ABC News and hold campaign events in Madison, Wisconsin, and Philadelphia. He is also engaging with Black radio stations in key swing states to shore up support among critical voter demographics​ ​.

As the Democratic Party grapples with this internal conflict, the future of its presidential campaign remains uncertain. With significant figures like Schumer and Pelosi urging a change in leadership, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Biden will heed these calls or continue his bid for a second term.

One of the largest healthcare systems in America has canceled all non-urgent visits, procedures, and surgeries due to a computer outage linked to cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that major “IT outages” are being reported across the world, affecting banking systems, health care systems, emergency services, and airlines’ communications.

Mass General Brigham, which serves 2.5 million patients annually across its 15 hospitals and clinics, has suspended all non-urgent visits, procedures, and surgeries.

“We have dedicated every available resource to resolve this issue as quickly as possible, and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused our patients,” said a statement released by Mass General Brigham according to the Daily Mail. “It is our highest priority to ensure that our patients receive the safest care possible.”

The healthcare giant reassured the public that they continue to provide care for all patients currently admitted in their hospitals.

A notice released on their website clarified the situation further:

“A major worldwide software outage has affected many of our systems today. This means we are not able to access our clinical systems, including patient health records and scheduling.

As a result, all non-urgent visits at all Mass General Brigham hospitals and clinics are cancelled for today, Friday, July 19, 2024. If you have a non-urgent visit scheduled, a care team member will reach out to you to reschedule.

Please do not call to reschedule today. We are open for urgent appointments and procedures, and our emergency rooms remain open. We are working this to resolve this issue. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

More from Daily Mail:

The outage is believed to be from a software update from a cybersecurity company called CrowdStrike, a tool is used to protect against hacking threats, and is not believed to be linked to a malicious cyberattack.

While paper charts were the norm for decades in healthcare, the advent of technology in the medical field made them obsolete and nearly all day-to-day operations are conducted via computer programs.

In one TikTok video, a woman in a breathing mask suggested her electronic medical records could not be accessed, leaving her unable to get the correct meds.

In another, staff can be heard shouting with panicked voices as the camera pans to a a computer that has been knocked offline and is showing a so-called ‘screen of death’.

Meanwhile a nurse in California detailed how staff have had to revert to pen and paper and using iPhones to treat patients and prescribe drugs, raising the risk of errors.

Also thrown into chaos were 911 and non-emergency call centers which are not working correctly across multiple states.

This is a developing story.

Defendants Holly Kasun, Col. Shawn Smith, and pro se defendant Ashe Epp

 

David struck a crushing blow to Goliath in Federal Court yesterday in Denver, Colorado.

The Gateway Pundit reported all this week from the courthouse in Denver, CO on a First Amendment election-related case involving a grassroots organization that was being sued by a consortium of non-governmental organizations, some of which have been waging lawfare against former President Donald J. Trump recently.

In the case, CO, MT, WY State Area Conference of the NAACP v Shawn Smith et al., plaintiffs alleged that the defendants had violated the Voting Rights Act and the Ku Klux Klan Act with the grassroots organization, US Election Integrity Plan (USEIP), that the trio of defendants helped co-found after the 2020 Presidential Election.

David vs. Goliath Election Case Update: Colorado Secretary of State Redacts Exculpatory Evidence and “Civil Rights” NGOs’ Attorneys Coached a Witness

The grassroots volunteers began to canvass voters door-to-door in the spring of 2021 by asking them non-partisan questions to attempt to validate the Colorado voter rolls provided by the Secretary of State’s Office.  Canvassers did not question voters about the secrecy of their ballot, nor did they act on behalf of any particular party or candidate.  If they were asked to leave, they immediately did so.

The plaintiffs could not produce any credible witnesses that claim they’d been intimidated by USEIP canvassers.  The one witness they provided was a resident of Mesa County, CO.  However, the USEIP did not canvass that county.

Only July 17th, after three days of what was expected to be a five day trial, Judge Charlotte Sweeney ruled in defendant’s favor in a Rule 52c directed verdict, meaning the plaintiffs in the case did not meet the burden necessary to prove their claims.  Because the plaintiffs failed to argue the case, it was unnecessary for defendants to present their own case in order for the judge to rule.

Defendant Shawn Smith, a retired USAF colonel, was represented by R. Scott Reisch, himself a Marine, while co-defendant Holly Kasun was represented by Michael Wynn and Cameron Powell of the law firm Gregor Wynne Arney.

But perhaps the most impressive victor in the two-year-long lawsuit was Ashe Epp, a co-founder of USEIP who represented herself in the case a pro se litigant.

In a statement to The Gateway Pundit, pro se defendant Ashe Epp said:

Justice still exists in America, and today is proof of that. As a pro se defendant, I found this process to be accessible and transparent. It’s a lot of work, and it’s harder than it looks, but the truth matters. The court found the facts without fear or favor, and the truth prevailed. I want to thank everyone that prayed, donated, shared our story, and otherwise supported our defense. Never stop fighting, and don’t give the lawfare machine an inch. The First Amendment is still in effect. Onward! 

The case was brought by the CO NAACP, the CO League of Women Voters, and Mi Familia Vota with counsel provided by Free Speech For People and Lathrop GPM.

Judge Sweeney, a Biden appointee, subtly scolded plaintiffs’ counsel in her ruling this morning, mentioning that their one and only witness “upon the suggestion of counsel” named USEIP definitively as the canvassers that visited her home in her sworn declaration.

During testimony, the witness, Ms. Yvette Roberts, said that she had not heard of USEIP until she engaged with plaintiffs counsel.  When asked by defendants counsel how she knew that it was USEIP at her door, she shockingly testified that plaintiffs’ counsel had suggested to her that it was USEIP who canvassed her.  Had counsel not suggested this, Roberts likely never would have known the name of the canvassing organization.

Since USEIP did not canvass Mesa County at all, it is extremely concerning why USEIP was suggested by counsel as being responsible for the canvassing.  Plaintiffs did not produce evidence during trial that USEIP did, in fact, canvass in Mesa Co.

Further, during Roberts testimony, there was nothing presented that was reasonably intimidating about the canvassers that visited her home.  She willfully opened the door after they knocked.  They asked questions about publicly-available information from the voter rolls and had identifiable name tags.  Roberts could not remember the names of the canvassers nor the organization on the name tags during testimony.  When Roberts no longer felt comfortable answering questions, she asked the two canvassers, an older man and woman, to leave, which they promptly did without debate.  Roberts also notably claimed that the male canvasser said “Republicans!” in some regard during their interaction, another detail that was not mentioned in her initial police report.

Also in the initial complaint with local law enforcement, Roberts did not identify the canvassers’ names nor the organization.  She also stated they had on “homemade-looking badges”.  In her declaration, “homemade-looking badges” was changed to “official-looking badges”.  During her testimony, she added that they looked like they were “from an office supply store.”

Roberts also added that she was “half Native-American” in the sworn declaration.  When asked why this wasn’t mentioned in the original report with police, she said it was suggested by counsel to mention that detail.

One of the lead plaintiffs in the case, CO League of Women Voters executive Director Beth Hendricks, acknowledged that she was unaware of who was funding the legal expenses for the counsel representing her.  Counsel for the defense thought this was concerning.

John Bonifaz, the founder of Free Speech For People (FS4P), signed on to the initial complaint filed against the USEIP founders in this case (USEIP was initially named but later removed because they were an unincorporated association).

Bonifaz’s organization, FS4P, has been waging lawfare against President Donald Trump regarding elections in Oregon, where they unsuccessfully sued before the 2020 Election on behalf of Mi Familia Vota, also a plaintiff in this case.

FS4P also unsuccessfully sued President Trump in Michigan all the way up to the Michigan Supreme Court in 2023.  They also unsuccessfully sued to keep President Trump off the ballot in Oregon, losing at the Oregon Supreme Court.  In 2022, they unsuccessfully sued to keep Madison Cawthorn and Marjorie Taylor Greene off their respective ballots.

They also notably filed an amicus brief in the Colorado 14th Amendment challenge, which was ultimately decided by the US Supreme Court.  Coincidentally, during the initial trial for that case, defendant Ashe Epp was doxxed by counsel.  USEIP was also mentioned in that case.

Michael Wynn, counsel for Holly Kasun, remains undefeated in the lawfare battle against non-governmental organizations over the last year or so, including a massive victory in a 11b Voting Rights Act case while representing Dinesh D’Souza.  He also represented True The Vote in a victory against lawfare.  He has represented 11 clients in these types of cases, at least seven of them against the Elias Law Group.  He is undefeated.

In a statement from Cameron Powell, he wrote:

We should all be proud of our Voting Rights Act.  It’s an important bulwark against voter suppression and other anti-democratic tactics.

But lately we are seeing intimidation claims brought under it that lack any evidence of intimidating conduct but are focused instead almost entirely on punishing the defendants’ free speech – speech that is not itself a true threat or even reckless.

That was the case with Holly Kasun.  The Court rightly rejected the dangerous precedent urged by the plaintiffs.  And we will continue to defend both the Voting Rights Act and the First Amendment against overreaching uses of the Voting Rights Act.

Massive riots broke out in a migrant community located in Leeds, England, on Thursday.

According to the BBC, a police car was flipped, and a bus was set on fire by rioters who took to the streets in response to an incident involving child protection workers removing children from their homes. 

Users on the social media platform X have circulated unbelievable footage showing some of the apocalyptic-looking scenes. 

“War-like scenes tonight in Harehills, Leeds, England as migrant rioters carried out hours of attacks as retribution for child protection social workers and police responding to a home.” Journalist Andy Ngo said in a post. 

This viral video is being shared without context by engagement farmers so I did some research.

Officials have since attempted to downplay the event. Leeds City Council Chief Executive told the BBC that the riots had nothing to do with race and that it was instead caused by a “family incident” that triggered the community. 

“As always in Leeds we work with the community, we work with families… We always intervene where we need to where children are at risk. It was an incident that was probably misinterpreted I would say.” Tom Riordan said, 

“No one was injured. It was contained. It de-escalated. We’re doing the cleanup. This is not a community where this happens regularly. This is a very diverse community that generally gets on well.” He added.

Immigration is top of mind — not only at the RNC — but for Americans across the country.” — ABC News (screenshot from video)

Far-left detractors are calling the Republican National Convention a Nazi convention because Republicans want to secure the border and deport illegal immigrants.

They also claim that Republicans are falsely demonizing illegal immigrants. However, protecting the border and enforcing the law is not a Nazi act; it is a normal function of government and part of the contract a government has with its citizenry.

As for demonization, the claims of illegal immigrants taking jobs and lowering wages are 100% true. To cover for the negative impact of immigration on jobs and wages, Biden lies about his job numbers, and Democrats and the mainstream press support his false claims.

As of June 2024,  approximately 6.8 million Americans were unemployed. In fiscal year 2023, the United States hit a record of 3.2 million encounters with illegal immigrants nationwide, including more than 2.4 million encounters at the Southwest border alone.

Over the past four fiscal years, from October 2019 to January 2024, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported more than 9.8 million border encounters across the country. This number represents approximately 2.93% of the current U.S. population, which is estimated to be around 334 million.

The Biden administration claims that unemployment is at the lowest level in fifty years. However, the unemployment rate is currently 4.1%, which is higher than during most of the Trump administration.

During the first three years of Trump’s administration, the unemployment rate averaged around 3.9% in 2018, 3.7% in 2019, and 3.5% in early 2020 before the pandemic struck.

The Biden administration claims to have created nearly 14.8 million jobs since taking office in January 2021. However, the raw numbers, which support Biden’s claim of record job gains, gloss over the reality that the U.S. economy remains about 5 million jobs under its pre-pandemic peak.

Furthermore, approximately 2.5 million of the jobs created have been part-time positions, accounting for about 17% of the total job gains. Using raw numbers of job gains also ignores population growth. During the same period, the official U.S. population increased by 3 million citizens, plus 10 million illegal aliens.

A significant portion of the illegal immigrants in the U.S. come from Latin American countries. As of recent data, nearly 30% of illegal immigrants are from Mexico, 9.1% from Guatemala, and 8.9% from Honduras.

These migrants tend to work in specific industries such as construction, where they make up about 15% of the workforce, drywall installers (31%), roofers (29%), and construction painters (26%). In agriculture, they represent 26% of the workforce.

In addition, illegal immigrants are prevalent in the service industry, holding 32% of service occupations, which include roles in food service, cleaning, and maintenance​​.

In their home countries, the GDP per capita is relatively low, contributing to the push factors driving migration. For example, the GDP per capita is $11,477 in Mexico, $5,535 in Guatemala, and $3,154 in Honduras.

When broken down to an hourly wage, this equates to approximately $5.52 per hour in Mexico, $2.66 per hour in Guatemala, and $1.52 per hour in Honduras. Low wages are the primary reason these people flee their home countries.

The law of supply and demand shows that an increase in the total pool of workers will bring down the wages in those fields. Having people who are willing to work for as low as $5.52 per hour in Mexico, $2.66 per hour in Guatemala, and $1.52 per hour in Honduras further suppresses wages.

The normal wages in these fields are higher, but the influx of illegal immigrants willing to work for less drives down the overall wage levels. The competition from illegal immigrants not only lowers wages, but causes displacement among low-skilled native-born workers and legal immigrants.

Illegal immigrants in the United States predominantly work in sectors such as construction, agriculture, hospitality, and manufacturing, where they often face lower wages.

Construction workers earn an average hourly wage of about $18, with specialized roles like drywall installers potentially earning slightly more. In agriculture, farmworkers typically earn between $11 and $13 per hour.

Hospitality workers, including food service employees, earn around $12 to $14 per hour, while housekeeping and cleaning staff earn about $13 per hour. Manufacturing workers, particularly in food processing and textiles, generally earn between $14 and $17 per hour.

Illegal immigration tends to lower wages for low-skilled workers due to increased labor supply, with studies showing a 3-4% reduction in wages for these workers when the immigrant population increases by 10%.

Native-born workers and authorized immigrants in low-skilled jobs face more competition and potential job displacement, although the overall impact on employment rates of native-born workers varies across sectors and geographic areas.

The sectors most affected by illegal immigration include agriculture, construction, hospitality, service, and manufacturing. Ironically, the very people the Democrats claim to be helping, African Americans and Latinos, are most adversely impacted by illegal immigration.

African Americans, particularly low-skilled workers, are disproportionately affected, experiencing significant wage depression and job competition. Native-born Hispanics and legal immigrants also face wage suppression and job competition, especially in agriculture, construction, and service industries.

With over 3 million illegal immigrants entering each year, wages will continue to drop and unemployment will persist among low-skilled workers.

Illegal immigrant from Venezuela, Leonel Moreno

Federal sources have revealed that Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan illegal immigrant and TikTok influencer, who gained notoriety for promoting squatting in US homes, is believed to have been a sergeant in Venezuela’s military intelligence unit, The New York Post first reported.

For context, Moreno’s activities came to light when his TikTok account @leitooficial_25 was suspended for violating the platform’s policies against promoting criminal behavior. He had attracted a following of over 500,000 before the suspension.

“If a house is not inhabited, we can seize it,” he asserts in the video, which has now been viewed nearly 4 million times.

In the controversial clip, Moreno speaks in Spanish, elaborating on his plans to squat in the U.S.

“I have thought about invading a house in the United States,” he says. “I found out there is a law that says if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it. Here in the United States, the law of land invasion applies, and I think that will be my next business: invading abandoned houses.”

He further mentions collaborating with friends from Africa who have purportedly already taken over multiple houses. Moreno suggests that the law allows for the takeover of dilapidated and poorly maintained homes, which can then be repaired, lived in, or even used to secure credit lines.

— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) March 20, 2024

Following this controversial video, his account has been suspended.

“I am in danger of death in the US! I need protection! I am being persecuted! My account has been blocked!” he said in a snotty sobbing video.

“My people, I need you to pay attention to what’s happening because my family is on danger. They erased my TikTok accounts. I have received threats from powerful people. Help!”

“My people, they have gotten what they wanted! The envy has reached my family! Everything that’s happening is because of your evilness! The want to silence me!”

Moreno’s journey into the US began when he crossed the border illegally at Eagle Pass, Texas, in April 2022, after which he became a part of the Alternatives to Detention program.

This program, designed to monitor migrants through ankle monitors and other technologies, was Moreno’s pathway to freedom within the United States. However, he soon violated the terms and became what is referred to as an “absconder” by ICE officials.

In one of his videos, Moreno boasted about receiving $350 weekly from the federal government. He also said he ‘doesn’t like to work because it gives him allergies.’

Since his arrest, intelligence officers have delved deeper into Moreno’s background. A Homeland Security source disclosed to The Post that there are indications that Moreno served as a sergeant in the Venezuelan general directorate of military intelligence.

When it comes to Venezuela, the task is nearly impossible because the government there is unwilling to communicate with US authorities, several Border Patrol sources have told The Post.

“Knowing who these guys are, we have, like, no access to anything International. Like, we really don’t and it kind of sucks,” said one border agent.

“I wanted to get into Border Patrol and protect from terrorists. And it’s like, well, I probably let terrorists in the country.”

Moreno remains in custody at the Geauga County Jail in Ohio and is set to see an immigration judge today.

However, he’s been having trouble coming up with the money to hire an attorney so the judge presiding over his immigration case has kept delaying his appearance, according to sources.

Moreno has been laying low in jail, Geauga County Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand told The Post.

“I don’t know of any problems that we’ve had with him. He’s in with the rest of the ICE inmates,” said Hildenbrand.

Founder of La Libertad Media, Eduardo Menoni, reported back in March that “LEONEL MORENO, alias LEITO OFFICIAL was a Sergeant of Nicolás Maduro’s political police (DGCIM) and that he lied about his age. Which leads to suspicion that he was sent by the Maduro dictatorship to sabotage in the United States.”

Mike Benz joins OAN to discuss the investigation into the Trump assassination attempt.

Mike Benz is a former State Department official with responsibilities in formulating and negotiating US foreign policy on international communications and information technology matters. Mike is the founder of the Foundation for Freedom Online.

Mike recently sat down with Kara McKinney on her Tipping Point program on OAN.

Mike Benz: “The FBI is where evidence goes to die. They are the mop-up men for crimes of the state. They have been for a century now, but particularly in the past 20 years. It’s so gross as to basically when they make us never believe something until the FBI officially denies it.

This is a situation where they made a formal determination it was a lone gunman before the night was even over. They already made their conclusion before they started the investigation.

Then you the fact that there was not a single social media post, now over 100 hours since the event took place, not a single X post, Facebook post, Instagram post, Reddit post. You don’t just get the idea to assassinate the President of the United States without something so extreme that it tilts the entire world on its axis unless you have some community you’re interacting with that is encouraging you, goading you on or radicalizing you.

And my concern is that the FBI, who was at the shooter’s house, the killer’s house, mind you, this man murdered Cory Comperatore, a hero firefighter protecting his daughter. So the murderer and would be assassin of the President of the United States, this person was obviously following people online, communicating with people online.

The FBI was at his house for four hours before they disclosed a name. That means they have the IP When you have someone’s IP address, the router that they’re using the Internet from, you know everything. You know their search history, you know what they plugged into Google, you know what they bought in their Amazon shopping carts, you know every connection node you could possibly ask for.

The fact that the entire thing has been locked up, everything’s shut down on socials, everything now going to be shrouded in the cloak of an ongoing investigation, likely for months now, when we know that the FBI has gotten busted a dozen times in the past decade alone, being ultimately responsible for radicalizing these shooters. We saw this happen with the Whitmer fed-apping/attempted assassination, we were told, where there’s this five alarm fire about how there was this MAGA group that was going to kidnap and potentially assassinate the Michigan governor. Months go by, it turns out half of them were feds, and the other half were radicalized. They were flown around the country. They were pitched to buy explosives all by federal agents.

You had the case in 2015 where the FBI in the Garland, Texas shooting with ISIS, and it turned out that the FBI, years later, took four and a half years after the event for it to come out that the FBI had paid an informant $125,000 to tell him to, quote, tear up Texas and to radicalize the person.

Trump is surrounded by agents after he was nearly assassinated at his PA rally.

And the hits keep coming.

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday demanding answers on the attempted assassination attack on President Trump at his rally in Pennsylvania last weekend.

Senator Hawley wrote that whistleblowers have notified him that a majority of the security officials working the rally last weekend were not even Secret Service personnel but were with the Homeland Security Investigations team!

They were not even trained Secret Service personnel!

Government officials also treated the attempted assassination as a “loose” security event and that canines were not used at entry points and to detect threats.

It was a setup!

Mark Zuckerberg appears to be warming to Donald Trump.

The Facebook founder, who has long been associated with liberal and Democratic Party causes, told Bloomberg in an interview that Trump’s response to this weekend’s assassination attempt was one of the most “badass” things he had ever seen.

“Seeing Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen in my life,” he told the publication.

“On some level as an American, it’s like hard to not get kind of emotional about that spirit and that fight, and I think that that’s why a lot of people like the guy,” he continued.

The 40-year-old. who has long overseen an aggressive censorship regime against conservative voices across his various platforms, added that Facebook would be less political moving forward.

“The main thing that I hear from people is that they actually want to see less political content on our services because they come to our services to connect with people,” explaining that Meta is recommending less political content to people than before. “I think you’re going to see our services play less of a role in this election than they have in the past.”

Zuckerberg also declined to endorse either candidate in the 2024 presidential race, although it is a safe bet he will still be gunning for Joe Biden or his eventual replacement.

Trump, meanwhile, is not a great of the billionaire businessman. Back in March, he suggested that banning TikTok from the U.S. would only benefit Meta which he described as an “enemy of the people.”

“If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business,” Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time. “I don’t want Facebook, who cheated in the last Election, doing better. They are a true Enemy of the People!
