Shocking details of 'security breakdowns' that led to attempted assassination of Trump revealed in probe by Secret Service
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] An internal investigation by the Secret Service confirms multiple catastrophic security breakdowns took place ahead of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, fired eight bullets at the crowd, striking Trump's ear and hitting three rally attendees, one fatally, on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania at a rally.

Officials, in a new report, have called the entire operation to protect the former president 'alarmingly slipshod' and its communications system having 'significant weaknesses'.

Much has already been revealed about the haphazard communication between local police but the investigation uncovered that Secret Service had no access to real-time updates by local police.

Director Kim Cheadle resigned following the shooting. The Secret Service confirmed Assistant director of the Office of Protective Operations Mike Plati resigned ahead of the report's release Friday, while senior executive John Buckley and a senior, unidentified Pittsburgh-based agent are set to retire.
When nearby authorities were contacted about a suspicious man showing up at the rally it was not heard on Secret Service Radio, which is used by the service instead of the Military-supported systems used to protect the president and vice president.

The counter-snipers who eventually took Crooks out were initially told to send photos via text message to just a single official with the Secret Service, meaning an all points bulletin could not have been sent out.

This lax activity despite the fact that the police had seen Crooks carrying a range finder and said he was behaving strangely.

No one with the Secret Service was then able to hear about the authorities attempt to find Crooks after he was spotted when Trump started his speech and never secured the roof of the AGR building he used to fire away, senior government officials told the Washington Post.

The investigation allegedly went beyond the shooting, however, with the revelation that Secret Service dragged its feet on increasing security for Trump during the campaign, despite an Iranian plot to kill American political candidates.

Already, heads have begun to role within the organization after disgraced Director Kim Cheadle resigned following the shooting.

The Secret Service confirmed Assistant director of the Office of Protective Operations Mike Plati resigned ahead of the report's release Friday, while senior executive John Buckley and a senior, unidentified Pittsburgh-based agent are set to retire.

In August, a whistleblower is claiming that the lead Secret Service agent in charge of Donald Trump's deadly Butler, Pennsylvania, rally was 'inexperienced' and 'failed to implement appropriate security protocols.'

This past week, a bombshell congressional report claims would-be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks was incapacitated by a local cop before he was killed by a Secret Service sniper.

Two months after Crooks shot the former president's ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, a preliminary report from Rep. Clay Higgins offered a differing narrative to the official one pushed by the FBI.

While it was initially claimed that Crooks was shot in the head within seconds by a Secret Service sniper, Higgins' report claimed it was actually a local SWAT operator who stopped the gunman's hail of bullets.

The congressman said the local cop's shot 'hit Crooks' rifle and fragged his face/ neck/ right shoulder area from the (gun) stock breaking up', which meant Crooks was unable to keep firing before he was killed.

It comes amid mounting scrutiny on the FBI and Secret Service's investigations into the shooting, weeks after Higgins also revealed Crooks' body was mysteriously cremated with approval from the FBI after just 10 days.

A bullet clipped the former president's ear while two others were critically wounded and former firefighter, Corey Comperatore, tragically lost his life while heroically defending his family from the incoming fire.

Trump recovered from his wounds and continued on with his campaign, appearing at the Republican National Convention two days later.

There is online video showing the operator taking the shot, but the target is almost invisible from the angle of the shot. Whether he actually "stopped" anything is not clear from the video or from the evidence released by the FBI. See my other post on this.

NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban resigns a week after federal raids: sources
[NYPOST] NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban stepped down Thursday under pressure from City Hall in the aftermath of raids by federal agents that targeted a slew of police officials and close aides to Mayor Eric Adams
...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a bunch of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve...
Caban — whose electronic devices were seized by federal agents last week in what sources described as a sweeping corruption probe involving potential influence peddling — submitted a letter of resignation that Adams said he accepted.

After Caban's resignation takes effect Friday, the commish job will be filled by former FBI official Tom Donlon on an interim basis, Adams said.

''The news around recent developments has created a distraction for our department, and I am unwilling to let my attention be on anything other than our important work, or the safety of the men and women of the NYPD,'' Caban said in an internal email sent to members of service Thursday morning, and obtained by The Post.

Haitian Voter Fraud Uncovered in Springfield, Ohio
[PJMEDIA] Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose warned election boards to be extra vigilant in the weeks before the November election after an investigation uncovered illegal voter registration forms circulating in Clark County.

In a media advisory, the secretary of state's office noted, "The office's Election Integrity Unit recently concluded an investigation into the origins of an illegal voter registration form translated into the Haitian Creole language. The Clark County Board of Elections reported this form to our office after rejecting its submission by a local applicant." According to the Public Integrity Division, the form had a name written on it but nothing else. Under Ohio law, anyone who commits election falsification is guilty of a fifth-degree felony.

In a memo to election officials, Hun Yi, director of investigations for the Secretary of State's Public Integrity Division, said, ''The Board confirmed they've only received one of these unauthorized forms, but they rightly recognized it as illegal and worked with my team to track down its source with the help of a county government assistance office."

''The form was erroneously included among others outsourced to a foreign language translation service. It garnered national attention considering the high number of Haitian refugees that have recently migrated to the Springfield area, and it serves as an important reminder that boards and designated voter registration agencies should be vigilant about the use of forms submitted to their office," Yi added.

Clark County is home to Springfield, Ohio, where as many as 30,000 Haitians have unexpectedly migrated—most of them semi-legally after the Biden-Harris administration extended Temporary Protected Status to 300,000 Haitian migrants colonists in June.

Wireless Audio Earrings Company Responds to Rumors Kamala Harris Wore Earpiece
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] A wireless audio earring company responded after rumors spread that Kamala Harris
once a marijuana-busting Caliphornia prostitutor
wore an earpiece during Tuesday night’s presidential debate against Trump.

Social media users posted photos of Nova audio earrings next to a screenshot of Kamala Harris’s earrings and suggested she used an earpiece during the debate.

Others pointed out that Kamala Harris wore a pair of Tiffany pearl earrings.

The Germany-based company responded to a request for comment from Just The News.

"The resemblance is striking," the company told Just The News.

Read more on this story from Just The News reported:

Following the presidential debate on Tuesday, social media users theorized that Vice President Kamala Harris wore audio earrings on stage. The Germany-based company that sells the earrings said on Wednesday that the resemblance between Harris’ earrings and their audio earrings "is striking."

"We do not know whether Mrs. Harris wore one of our products. The resemblance is striking and while our product was not specifically developed for the use at presidential debates, it is nonetheless suited for it," Malte Iversen, managing director at Icebach Sound, told Just the News on Wednesday. "To ensure a level playing field for both candidates, we are currently developing a male version and will soon be able to offer it to the Trump campaign. The choice of colour is a bit challenging though as orange does not go well with a lot of colours.

"Currently, we are unfortunately out of stock and also busy preparing a lawsuit against a big Chinese tech company breaching our patents," Iversen continued. "We are talking to investors in order to ramp up operations accordingly and are confident that we will ship again very soon."

The marketing people must be tearing their hair out. On one hand, it is a high profile, once in a lifetime opportunity to highlight their product, "The fashionable wireless earpiece for Presidential Candidates and Girl Bosses everywhere". On the other, there is the whole cheating thing, very un-American and not at all a good look.

Ah yes, that Havana Syndrome thingie.

Interesting about the Chinese breaching the company's patents. One of the counter arguments on the interwebs is that Kammie's earrings look more like a fancy jewelry brand. What are the odds the Chinese copied that too?

In Huge Blow to Fani Willis, Judge Drops Two Counts Against President Trump
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee on Thursday dropped two criminal counts against President Trump in Fani Willis’s lawfare RICO case.

In August 2023, corrupt Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis indicted President Trump and 18 co-defendants for daring to challenge the 2020 election.

Judge McAfee said two of the counts related to conspiracy and filing false documents are outside of Fani Willis’s jurisdiction since she is a local District Attorney and not a federal prosecutor.

A total of five of the 13 charges of the original indictment have now been dropped against President Trump. Judge McAfee dropped three of the charges earlier this year.

In March Judge Scott McAfee quashed six counts of the indictment, including three directly implicating Donald Trump
...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried....
, AP reported.

Judge McAfee’s order specified that the charges dismissed were linked to the alleged solicitation of elected officials to breach their oaths of office.

This includes two charges tied to the controversial phone call on January 2, 2021, in which Trump spoke to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

Clinton Advisor says ABC needs investigation into rigged election debate
[TN Star] Mark Penn, a former top adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton, called Thursday for ABC to launch a formal internal investigation into its news division’s planning and execution of this week’s presidential debate to determine if there was some effort at "rigging the outcome of this debate."

ABC News came under significant bipartisan criticism because its moderators fact-checked some of Donald Trump’s statements but none from Kamala Harris.

Trump said Thursday that the debate was three-on-one and declined to participate in another one before the election.

Anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis moderated the first debate between Harris and Trump, which drew 67.1 million viewers, making it the most watched presidential debate since 2008. But it has drawn scorn from both Republicans and Democrats for giving the appearance of bias.

"I actually think they should do a full internal investigation, hire an outside law firm. I don’t know how much of this was planned in advance," Penn told the John Solomon Reports podcast.

"I don’t know what they told the Harris campaign. I think the day after, suspicion here is really quite high, and 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. I think the situation demands nothing less than that," he added.

Penn, chairman of the Harvard CAPS Harris Poll, also said Harris has done a "good job" defining Trump as the incumbent and herself as the change candidate even though she’s the sitting vice president. But he described the mainstream media’s coverage of Harris’ campaign as laughable.

"It’s a 50-50, race. He’s [Trump] got more obvious tools to get across the finish line than she does and part of the thing here is that if the referees have their finger on the scale, it’s harder to, you know, break through and overcome. And certainly, general media coverage has been fairly laughable," he said.

Penn, president and managing partner of The Stagwell Group, suggested the Trump campaign mail out to every voter the ACLU questionaire that then-Sen. Harris, D-Calif., filled out and indicated she supports gender surgery for illegal immigrants and defunding Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

IRS whistleblowers file $20M defamation lawsuit against Hunter Biden's attorney: ‘Incredible and malicious harm'
[NY Post] IRS investigators Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler, who blew the whistle on Hunter Biden’s tax crimes, filed a $20 million defamation lawsuit Friday against the First Son’s attorney Abbe Lowell in Washington DC.

They accuse Lowell of behaving with “clear malice” when he retaliated against their whistleblowing by making defamatory statements to the media alleging that they had illegally leaked Hunter’s private tax information.

As a result of Lowell’s statements Shapley and Ziegler claim their reputations suffered “incredible and malicious harm.”

A sweetheart plea deal between Hunter and Delaware US attorney David Weiss fell apart last year after Shapley and Ziegler went public with their concerns.

Last week, their concerns were validated when Hunter pleaded guilty to all felony tax crimes brought against him.

WATCH: Kamala Harris Completely Bombs Her First Solo Interview
[RedState]
TAFF: "Talk about bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people. What are one or two specific things you have in mind for that?"

HARRIS: "Well, I'll start with this. I grew up a middle-class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard. She was able to finally save up enough money to buy our first house when I was a teenager. I grew up in a community of hardworking people. You know, construction workers and nurses and teachers. I try to explain to some people who might not have had the same experience, but a lot of people will relate to this.

You know, I grew up in a neighborhood of people who were really proud of their lawn, you know, and I was raised to believe and to know that all people deserve dignity and that we as Americans have a beautiful character. You know, we have ambitions and aspirations and dreams, but not everyone necessarily has access to the resources that can help them fuel those dreams and ambitions. So, when I talk about building an opportunity economy, it is very much with the mind of investing in the ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American people and creating opportunity for people, for example, to start a small business.

For example, thinking about developing and creating an opportunity economy where it's about investing in areas that really need a lot of work and maybe focusing on, again, the aspirations and the dreams but also just recognizing that at this moment in time some of this stuff we could take for granted years ago, we can't take for granted anymore"

#7  She was not raised in a middle income family

Except for the very richest and poorest of us, Americans all think of themselves as middle class. And given that we do not have an aristocratic or noble class, and our very richest have paying jobs just like the poorest McDonald’s cashier, we are almost exclusively a country of the bourgeois class, with all the virtues and vices thereof. Many of our kids get paying jobs as soon as they have skills to sell, an experience middle class kids are not permitted elsewhere in the world, and it shapes their outlook.

Our beloved vice president’s problem is that she is an idiot, poor dear, not that she grew up other than middle class — even if it was the upper range of middle class.

Walz Goes Into Hyperdrive of Weirdness With Wild Gesticulations and Chants About Cats — RedState
[REDSTATE] Eric Inaction Jackson Holder
... aka Mister Fast and Furious...
was supposed to be in charge of vetting Kamala Harris
What can be, unburdened by what has been
' VP running mate choices.

I don't know what they did to vet people; I know they didn't have a lot of time. But they surely messed up when it comes to Tim Walz
...Kamala's smarmy-looking running mate, governor of Minnesota, who decided to retire rather than to deploy with his National Guard unit to where live ammunition was in use, then claimed to have been in Iraq and Afghanistan. One man's socialism is another man's neighborliness....
. There seems to be a never-ending bounty of damaging stories about Walz, including stolen valor, which rightly sets people on edge.
Personnel is policy, ‘tis said.
Harris probably should have picked Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro because he was more moderate and would probably have helped the campaign in Pennsylvania. Not doing so earned them accusations of antisemitism and toadying to the radical left.

Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, the SWAT team had finally arrived...
Walz — in addition to the false stories — is just flat-out weird. I wrote earlier about the wild thing he said about Kamala Harris, tripping over his words or I don't know what else when he called her a "hookerr" while he was at an event in Grand Rapids, Michigan. And he isn't any better at enunciating positions than Kamala Harris is.

But that wasn't all — I've been calling him the "Howard Dean
Former Dem governor of Vermont or Rhode Island or one of those dinky states. Howard lost his bid to be president by shrieking and screaming and acting like a loon. Then they made him chairman of the Dem national campaign committee, where he continued doing the same things only nobody paid any attention....
Scream in the flesh," and he certainly proved that with what he did in Michigan.

He started slow. He said he didn't understand why half the country would be supporting former President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
and JD Vance and not him and Harris.

That's right, you don't understand, and you'll have a long time to think about it after you lose. It's simple: Harris screwed everything up with Biden and plans to do even worse with you. We already have been crushed with inflation, and many can't buy homes because the Biden-Harris administration has put them out of reach.

But Walz had no shame and tried to claim that Harris had brought down prices when Biden and Harris drove inflation to over 9 percent.

Inflation was 1.4 percent under Trump.

USA Today - Recently FAILED in its attempts trying to discredit the Haitian Cat eating reports.

It seems, based just on the over, 8,440 posted comments to the article.
It is clear way too many readers know of the Police Bodycam video evidence proving it is happening a lot in the Illegal refugee areas.

The "X" video using the Police Bodycams, documents the arrest of one such Illegal Haitian Female, with blood on her face, hands and cat fur in her teeth and mouth.

All along with the dead cat next to her, as she is being arrested for animal cruelty.

We had the local report of that story yesterday, NN2N1 — see here. The police in Canton, Ohio said the lady in question was born there, graduated from the local high school a decade ago, and is a drug-using nutter.

#9  Me, yesterday,

Ladies, Gentlemen, and all non-binary magical forest things, we have a problem. After our psyop, nobody is talking about Harris. Even the big name media are talking about cats, and memes, everything except about Harris, and we need to get her name back in the news. Ideas?

Let's have Walz do a public human side expose about her.

Great idea, make it happen.

Walz: "and I love this story; as a young prostitute...."

(Fuk!)


Yes, something someone says a lot in private squirting out.

John Kirby slammed over accidental email to reporter that there's 'no use in responding' to veteran concerns over Afghanistan withdrawal
[NYPOST] White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby was met with intense criticism Wednesday after he inadvertently emailed a reporter that there is ''no use in responding'' to veteran concerns about the Harris-Biden administration's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Kirby, 61, apparently intended to send his dismissive response to White House staffers but accidentally hit ''reply all'' on an email chain that included the Fox News reporter making the inquiry.

''Obviously no use in responding. A 'handful' of vets indeed and all of one stripe,'' read Kirby's email, according to the outlet.

The White House official's response was deemed ''callous'' and shameful by many on the right.

''Obviously no use in responding. A 'handful' of vets indeed and all of one stripe''
''This is how the Biden-Harris administration talks about the well-founded concerns of our nation's veterans?'' Sen. John Thune (R-SD) wrote on X. ''Just days after the anniversary of the deadly Afghanistan withdrawal. On the anniversary of 9/11. Our Gold Star families deserve better.''

''Shame!'' Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller tweeted, adding in a separate post that the Kirby's remarks were ''stupid'' and ''insensitive.''

''Horrifying. Callous. Disgraceful,'' former Republican National Committee communications specialist Steve Guest wrote on X.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said he was unsurprised but appalled by Kirby's comments.

''Retired Rear Admiral Kirby's comments are appalling, but sadly not surprising,'' McCaul said in a statement. ''The Biden-Harris administration has consistently disregarded our veterans, servicemembers, and Gold Star families over their botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.''

The White House did not respond to The Post's request for comment.

#3  He actually agrees with his critics. There was 'no use in responding' because the Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan was both incompetent and indefensible, which is what the veterans have been saying all along.

Time magazine issues correction for calling claim Harris supported funding migrant sex changes ''false''
[FoxNews] Kamala Harris
who got her start in politix between former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's' knees
' policy reversals in the spotlight ahead of presidential debate

Harris-Walz campaign communications director Michael Tyler joined 'America's Newsroom' to preview the ABC News Presidential Debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Time magazine was forced to correct its coverage of the ABC News Presidential Debate after implying former President Trump's statement that Vice President Kamala Harris supported free gender-transition treatment for detained migrants colonists was "false."
At least they had the courtesy to close the barn door.
During the debate on Tuesday night, Trump remarked on Harris' old position as one of many left-wing issues she appeared to have walked back on since running for president.

"Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens who are in prison," Trump said.

Though Harris pledged she would support taxpayer-funded gender care for detained migrants colonists in an ACLU candidate questionnaire during her first presidential campaign, Time first reported the statement as "false."

...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried....
and Kamala Harris

"The original version of this story mischaracterized as false Donald Trump's statement accusing Kamala Harris of supporting 'transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison.' As a presidential candidate in 2019, Harris filled out a questionnaire saying she supported taxpayer-funded gender transition treatment for detained immigrants colonists," a correction read.

Many other far-left news hounds also considered it too absurd to be true, implying Trump made the concept up during the debate.

"'She wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens who are in prison' is the WILDEST thing I've ever heard in any debate. EVER," former CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
commentator Marc Lamont Hill wrote.

Senators ''appalled'' by DHS failures, demand answers for lack of info on Trump assassination attempt
[NYPOST] Senators from both parties said Thursday that they were ''appalled'' by the security failures that led to the liquidation attempt against former President Donald Trump
...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried....
July 13 and want more information from the Department of Homeland Security ahead of an expected report on the near-tragedy.

Members of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee met with acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe for a closed-door briefing about the shooting in Butler, Pa. that killed Trump rally-goer Corey Comperatore and maimed the 45th president and two others.

''I think the American people will be shocked, astonished and appalled by what we will report to them about the failures of the Secret Service in this liquidation attempt of a former president,'' said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), who chairs the panel's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
