BREAKING: Cops Find Explosives Near Trump Rally on Long Island UPDATE: False alarm, thank goodness
[PJMedia] UPDATE: According to a report from Newsweek, Nassau Police confirmed its response to a “suspicious occurrence” near the Trump rally site on Wednesday morning. However, it is denying that officers discovered an explosive device.

Original article: Police reportedly discovered "explosives" in a car near the site of former President Donald Trump's rally on Long Island just hours before his Wednesday evening speech, reports the Daily Mail. If confirmed, this would mark the latest alarming security breach, a mere three days after a second assassination attempt was thwarted at Trump's Palm Beach golf club.

Sources within the Nassau County Police Department reportedly told One America News Network journalist James Lalino that the rally site’s perimeter had been breached and a blue barrel was removed from the area.

In addition, during the K9 sweep they apparently 'found an explosive device in one of the vehicles.'

The sources allegedly said the driver ended up running into the woods.

'No one saw if he had anything on him, they just saw him take off running. A lot of cars are now parking, they’re lining up on Hempstead Turnpike, just parking on the grass. Even over at Eisenhower Park, they’re just parking over there,' the source went on to tell Lalino according to a post on X.

Thousands of MAGA fans are expected to descend upon Long Island this afternoon ahead of the 7 p.m. ET rally at the Nassau Coliseum.

Although doors don't open until 3 p.m. ET, a large crowd has already gathered, with many camping out overnight to secure good seats in the indoor arena.
More on that update from the Daily Mail article linked by PJ Media:
Said Nassau County Commissioner of Police Patrick Ryde, 'There is a person who is being questioned who may have been training a bomb detection dog near the site. The individual with the bomb dog falsely reported explosives being found and that individual is currently being detained by police.'
It’s comforting that the security team is both alert and reacting quickly. Had that been the case at the Pennsylvania rally, President Trump would not be missing a small chunk of his ear.

I’m grateful that this can be moved from Lurid Crime to Short Attention Span at 12:20 p.m. ET. And also grateful that Rantburg’s irregular militia, as it were, is equally alert and quick to react.

Government Corruption
Cryptographic Algorithm Secretly Embedded in Ohio's Board of Election Voter Registration Database
[Gateway] The Gateway Pundit reported earlier on Jerome Corsi, Ph.D., and Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., meeting with the official Ohio Secretary of State’s Inquiry regarding alleged evidence of secret algorithms encoded into the Ohio State Board of Elections official Ohio voter registration database with a presumed purpose of facilitating mail-in ballot fraud.

In a one-hour-and-twenty-minute meeting, Corsi and Pacquette presented to Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office a series of voter ID scatterplots for various counties. Corsi and Pacquette told The Gateway Pundit that these scatterplots revealed undeniable evidence that mathematical formulas had been secretly applied to create a cryptographic assignment of State Board of Election Voter ID numbers in Ohio, a fact previously unknown to the Ohio Board of Elections.

On Monday, a complaint was filed with the Ohio Secretary of State — with all the documentation on the CRYPTOGRAPHIC ALGORITHM that Dr. ANDREW PAQUETTE found embedded in the Ohio Board of Elections Official Database.

GodsFiveStones suggests that the preliminary report submitted to the Ohio Secretary of State and the Ohio Attorney General on Monday, September 16, 2024, Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., identified a complex cryptographic algorithm embedded in the voter identification numbers of three counties in the Ohio State Board of Elections voter registration that he believes were designed "for the purpose of covert data manipulation."

Eric Adams admin involved in 'low-rent corruption': former NYPD chief
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] New York City Police Department Commissioner Edward Caban, one week removed from his cell phone being seized by federal agents, formally resigned Friday, effective at 5 pm that day.

Caban, a veteran New York cop since 1991, was first promoted to the top job in July 2023. He is one of many close 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...
currently under federal investigation, including Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Phil Banks and his brother David Banks, the city's chancellor of schools.

''He (Caban) was there to be a puppet,'' a former NYPD chief told The Post Millennial. ''He was an inspector on the borough staff. That's nothing. He was in a support role. And to give him that kind of job (police commissioner), it was ridiculous. It was unfair to Ed, too, by the way.''

The former NYPD chief also said ''Banks is a fraud man, who's had problems before. This mayor brought him back,'' adding that Adams, ''took a big risk in doing so.''

The source described Mayor Adams, himself a one-time police officer, as ''fast and loose with what he does, his operational tactics.'' They added that the mayor's administration is involved in ''low-rent corruption, like back from the old days. Skimming, taking money, shaking down people.''

Adams' campaign has been under investigation for alleged illegal campaign fundraising connections with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
. It is unclear if these most recent device confiscations are also related to the Ottoman Turkish government, or some other nation's government. The source believes Adams may be benefiting from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Reports of attempted extortion for police protection have also surfaced regarding Caban's brother, and top legal counsel for Adams has also since resigned.

Adams publicly hosted the mayor of Shanghai, Gong Zheng, at City Hall in May. The New York Post reported last week that one of Caban's top aides, Lin Gui'an, was directly linked to the CCP through a nonprofit group.

Last week, Linda Sun, a former deputy chief of staff to New York Governor Kathy Hochul, was charged with acting as a foreign agent for the Chinese Communist Party.

Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams are close allies.

Tom Donlon, former director of the Office of Homeland Security, has been brought in as interim police commissioner. Adams announced the appointment in a social media post Thursday to his office's official X account.

Regarding Donlon, Adams said on X, ''He is an experienced law enforcement professional who has worked at local, state, federal, and international levels to keep us safe.''

Adams isn't believed to be the one who actually made the decision to hire Donlon. ''The feds, in their investigation, wanted someone who could stop this nonsense in its tracks,'' says the former NYPD chief. ''Tom Donlon can do it. He's not NYPD, but he's a New York guy. So that helps a little. Donlon is a winner.''

The source also said that former commissioner Keechant Sewell, who resigned last year, ''wasn't even in charge of promotions, which is a priority job for them.'' The source added that Sewell ''had class'' and ''didn't badmouth anyone'' as she was leaving the job.

According to the National Police Association, ''she (Sewell) apparently wanted to promote based on her criteria, which appear to be merit-based. For example, promoting a patrol officer to detective or detectives to higher grades for stellar performance. Typically, department promotions are within the commissioner's purview.''

The retired police chief wants to see a return to a merit-based promotion system, such as Sewell intended. ''We were once a meritocracy. We went through a disastrous mayoral tenure through de Blasio that's changed the fabric of how we police.''

Eric Adams faces an uphill battle in his re-election bid next year. The city comptroller, Brad Lander, and New York state senator Jessica Ramos, have both declared their candidacies. Former governor Andrew Sonny Cuomo is also rumored to be considering a run.

Former White House Chief of Staff Meadows denied transfer of Arizona election case to federal court
[JustTheNews] "The State has indicted Mr. Meadows for allegedly orchestrating and participating in an illegal electioneering scheme. Few, if any, of the State’s factual allegations even resemble the secretarial duties that Mr. Meadows maintains are the subject of the indictment," the judge ruled

Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows' request to transfer his Arizona election case to federal court has been denied.

U.S. District Judge John Tuchi’s rejected the effort to move the case in a ruling issued on Monday.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes charged Meadows and a dozen other individuals with attempting to interfere with the 2020 election.

Meadows has argued that he was performing his official duties by assisting Trump in contesting the 2020 election results.

“Contrary to Mr. Meadows’s assertions, the State has not indicted Mr. Meadows for merely facilitating communication to and from the President or for simply staying abreast of campaign goings-on,” Tuchi, the judge, wrote in the ruling. “Instead, the State has indicted Mr. Meadows for allegedly orchestrating and participating in an illegal electioneering scheme. Few, if any, of the State’s factual allegations even resemble the secretarial duties that Mr. Meadows maintains are the subject of the indictment.”

#2  Jean-Pierre appeared frustrated and angry during her response.

"Peter, if anything from this administration, I actually completely disagree with the premise of your question. The question that you’re asking, it is also incredibly dangerous in the way that you’re asking it," she responded.

"Because the American people are watching and to say that, to say that from an administration that has consistently condemned political violence, from an administration where the president called the former president and was thankful, grateful that he was OK, from an administration who has called out Jan. 6, called out the attack on Paul Pelosi, called out and said we need to lower the temperature after the Butler incident, and now for you to make that kind of comment in your question, because your question involved a comment and a statement," Jean-Pierre continued.

#4  Yeah, the clip is at Fox News, at Skidmark's link. I can't stand listening to that woman lie and distort the truth. Such as, she says Trump told those people to go to the capitol. But she conveniently forgets that he told them to protest peacefully, and that he never told them to enter the building. That kind of dishonesty, repeated over and over again, is the kind of Big Lie that would have made Joseph Goebbels proud.

We have a right in this country to protest and to peacefully air our grievances.

Then she acts like questioning the integrity of an election is a threat to democracy. The real threat is when we are not allowed to ask questions.

Calling a question dangerous is an implied threat of violence to the questioner as well as to democracy. If anything happens to Doocy, she is a prime suspect.

CBS only finds 'one Harris supporter' in Nevada restaurant—the rest were for Trump
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] When CBS Mornings went around to different restaurants in Nevada, correspondent Adriana Diaz could only find one supporter of Kamala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's' former mistress
in a diner that she visited. In contrast, she found many supporters of Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
She recently made the remark about the diner while talking to the other hosts on the "3 Meals" segment of the CBS show, where they then showed many Trump supporters instead.

Diaz told the other hosts: ''In every single restaurant, of the people willing to talk to us, we could only find one Harris supporter in every restaurant." The broadcast outlet aired footage from a diner in Washoe County, Nevada, where they spoke to several supporters of Donald Trump about immigration.

Diaz asked the Trump supporters, "Which issue is most important to you?" To which Melody Lewis said, "I am extremely concerned about the border."

Another supporter of the GOP nominee, Debra Canestrani, said, "Illegals, they got to go." When Diaz followed up with this, saying that some of the illegal immigrants colonists are "seeking asylum," Canestrani called it "baloney," adding, "they're coming here for the freebies."

"When people talk about immigration, they're thinking we're saying that we don't want immigrants colonists of any kind, and that's not what we are saying. People are saying that there are people who have come here legally — why do they get pushed aside to allow people who have not even worked one day in our country, have not paid to the system," Tomoko Rogers, another Trump supporter, told Diaz.

Under the Biden-Harris administration, soft border policy has led to dramatic increases in illegal immigrants colonists coming into the US, and the topic has been a top issue for many voters in recent polls, with Trump being seen as the better option for the border.

Don Lemon says Trump needs to 'stop threatening democracy' if he wants Kamala to stop trying to have him shot saying he is
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Former CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
host Don Lemon appeared on the next work on Monday to speak out against former President Donald Trump
...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down...
for causing a second liquidation attempt on his own life. On Sunday, a gunman lay in wait for 12 hours on Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach, the barrel of a long rifle with scope propped through the fence, before he was spotted by Secret Service agents who fired at him and scared him off.

Lemon said "the effort is right" to "lower the temperature" on political rhetoric in America and as we enter the final days of this bizarre election season, "but," he continued, "Donald Trump, and his folks, to say, and JD Vance, that it's Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
that are causing this..." Lemon turned to his notes and began to read. Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
made the same assertions on Rachel Maddow's MSNBC show on Monday night.

"So," Lemon began, "he's called everyone who works in this building the enemy of the people, right? We had pipe bombs sent because he kept calling us the enemy of the people. And that CNN was fake news." Packages containing "pyrotechnic powder" were sent to many elected officials and former officials of the US government in 2018 by Cesar Sayoc. None of them went kaboom! despite being "handled through the postal system — jostled and moved" and all were intercepted before they reached a target.

Trump spoke against it at the time, saying "The full weight of our government is being deployed to conduct this investigation and bring those responsible for these despicable acts to justice. We will spare no resources or expense in this effort. And I just want to tell you that, in these times, we have to unify. We have to come together, and send one very clear, strong, unmistakable message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the United States of America."

Chris Cuomo calls Trump, says he's 'ashamed' of how media is blaming him for second assassination attempt
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] In what many on X are calling a "red pilling" moment for News Nation's Chris Cuomo, Cuomo said that he had called Donald Trump after the second assassination attempt on his life. Cuomo praised Trump for surviving the first assassination attempt in July and continuing with his campaign, said he is not a Trump supporter, but said he reached out to Trump because he's "really sorry that this is going on and it's being dealt with this way." In the wake of a second attempt on Trump's life, media and Democrats have placed blame on Trump for it.

"I called him today because I am ashamed of how we are responding and not responding to the threats on him," Cuomo said. "And I feel for his family, and I know you can roll your eyes and say, 'Oh yeah, he asked for it.' Listen, that's your choice, and I think it's a wrong choice. Okay? We got to get out of the judgment business, unless it's judging ourselves, and you've got to start rewarding things that are better. And I got to tell you, I don't know how he stays in the race. I don't know how he got up after being shot in the head. And you people who try to mitigate that, you need to check yourself. He gets up, pumping his fist, stays in the race, barely even talks about it."

Cuomo peppered his remarks with criticism of Trump,
…the man is all heart…
saying he's not supporting Trump but "supporting us." He went on to say "I am worried about us. I am ashamed of what's happening around us right now, and the relative lack of concern about it. I just don't see how we get anywhere better than where we are right now," Cuomo said.

Unlike many Democrats in media, Cuomo does not blame Trump for attempts on his life, he said instead he "blames the guy," Ryan Routh, "and whatever disease he has that the people around him either knew about and did nothing about. The guy was arrested 20 years ago for barricading himself in a room with all these weapons."

"Where are we caring about one another?" he asked "Where are we taking care of our own? Where are we pushing to get help? We're leaving people languishing, dying on the streets. What is going on with us? I don't get it."

"That's why I reached out to Trump. I wanted to just say, 'Listen, I'm really sorry that this is going on and it's being dealt with this way.' Not because I'm in favor of his politics or what he says. I criticize him all the time. That's my job, and he deserves it, but he doesn't deserve this. A guy pointing an AK-47 at him while he's playing golf? And we take solace in the fact that the guy didn't get any rounds off? That does not work for me," Cuomo said.

If I had been through what that guy's been through in the last two months, you would not know where I am. You would never see me on TV again. No way I would do that. I don't know how he does it. He's got kids, they're adults, but he's got grandkids. He's got a wife. People giving crap to Melania Trump, worrying about whether or not there was a plot around her husband. How could she not? I don't think she's right, but I totally get why she feels that way. People mock her? And then her husband has a guy pointed with an AK-47 where are those people apologizing? That's what it's time for. 'I should not have come at you, Melania Trump, for suggesting that maybe there was something more afoot I get your, paranoia, I get your feelings, you have a right to that.'" Perhaps Cuomo was speaking directly to his former colleague Don Lemon, who mocked Mrs. Trump for her concerns.

"There's nothing wrong with saying that," Cuomo went on, "with being a basic, decent human being, it has gotten too out of control, too far from where we need to be and how we need to be, and I don't know what to do about it. I don't know."

#1  To support leftism on any level is to support the environment that produced Routh.

Cuomo still has a ways to go.

Hillary Clinton Demands 'Criminal Penalties' for Americans to Deter 'Misinformation'
[PJMEDIA] Eight years later, having learned nothing from the epic public humiliation she suffered when her fact-free Russiagate hoax collapsed into itself with the Mueller Report, Rachel Maddow is still asserting ''election interference.'' Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
is eager to assist her in her Red Scare propaganda efforts.

Ironically, Hillary is now demanding criminal prosecutions for her opponents' alleged propaganda — and not just foreign state actors, but explicitly ''Americans,'' presumably private citizens who post loosely defined ''misinformation'' on social media.

From the transcript, via Real Clear Politics (emphasis added):

Committee and the Foreign Affairs Committee and other Republicans who are currently in office have said that Republicans go to the floor of the Congress and they parrot Russian talking points.

So, I think it's important to indict the Russians, just as Mueller indicted a lot of Russians who were engaged in direct election interference and boosting Trump back in 2016. But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda.

And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence, because the Russians are unlikely, except in a very few cases, to ever stand trial in the United States.
And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence, because the Russians are unlikely, except in a very few cases, to ever stand trial in the United States. They're not going to be going to a country where they can be extradited or even returning to the United States, unless they are very foolish.

So I think we need to uncover all of the connections and make it very clear that you could vote however you want, but we are not going to let adversaries, whether it is Russia, China, Iran, or anybody else, basically try to influence Americans as to how we should vote in picking our leaders.

#2  So ... does that mean we can't talk about Bill Clinton's "Monicagate", "Lewinskygate", "Tailgate", "Sexgate", and "Zippergate"?

So now we have Multiple High Ranking LSD's calling for Censorship.

Now there should be no doubt that it is the New National Socialist Party that is threatening the US Bill of Rights, in their quest for rule over their minions.
