An IRS special agent was shot and killed during a training exercise on a Phoenix gun range by another agent Thursday, sparking an investigation by the FBI. ABC 15 News broke the story that the shooting and death had occurred outside of Anthem on a range used by multiple law enforcement agencies.
FBI officials released a statement on Thursday evening confirming the death of the agent but did not share further details about what exactly happened on the range.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) also issued a statement that it was investigating a “shooting incident” at the Federal Correctional Institutional (FCI) Phoenix firing range Thursday afternoon
Hair-raising bodycam footage of a fearless Fargo police officer stopping a would-be mass murderer in the middle of a busy street was released by North Dakota’s Attorney General Drew Wrigley on Thursday, leading many to wonder why they had never heard about the July 14th event that left one officer dead and three people wounded, including two more officers and a fleeing bystander.
Police were responding to a routine car accident when Syrian gunman Mohamad Barakat, 37, opened fire on them in a deadly ambush.
Barakat was allegedly on his way to a Fargo street fair, evidence suggests, with enough explosives in his car to create a national tragedy,

President Trump will skip the first Republican primary debate and sit down for an online Twitter interview with Tucker Carlson instead, according to the New York Times.
The Republican debate will take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin next Wednesday and will be hosted by Fox News.
Trump said he won’t participate in the debates because his poll numbers are “extraordinary.”
“Reagan didn’t do it, and neither did others,” Trump said of his decision to skip the primary debates.

The owner of Ruiz Cash & Carry convenience store located in Houston’s East End went to the bank to deposit funds from that day’s business transactions. He then went back to his store where he was attacked from behind, according to TheBlaze.
He was reportedly bashed in the back of the head with an unidentified blunt object. The owner then turned to see the masked men wearing gloves who were assaulting him.
Trump Can Prove It

Establishment politicians and mainstream media have fought harder than on any other issue to convince the public that voter fraud is a conspiracy theory. But unconstitutional changes to state election laws, unsupervised ballot drop boxes, voting machine errors, mathematically improbable voter turnout, and other examples of outright voter fraud that were denied a chance to be presented in court between the 2020 election and Biden's inauguration can't simply be chalked up as coincidental. All those things occurring simultaneously make the fraud seem coordinated.
In response to the most recent indictments, Trump's attorneys indicated they finally have a platform to "fully re-litigate every single issue that occurred

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said Thursday that she would consider being former President Donald Trump’s running mate in 2024 if he asked.
The Republican governor was asked about appearing on a 2024 GOP presidential ticket with Trump during an appearance on Fox News, with host Sean Hannity pointing out that she’s “generating a lot of buzz” as a possible running mate.
“This is a different question. And I will tell you that, of course, I would consider it,” Noem responded, in comparison to questions she steers away from about running herself.
“I think everybody should consider it. Our country is breaking right in front of our very eyes today,

Atlanta—For much of the Republican presidential field, Donald Trump is the candidate who must not be named — or at least not criticized too harshly.
Multiple GOP White House contenders took the stage Friday in Atlanta, the city where the former president was most recently indicted and where he must surrender next week on racketeering charges related to the 2020 election. They dealt gingerly with the man they’re trying to catch in the 2024 GOP primary campaign.
Radio host Erick Erickson’s annual convocation of conservative leaders and activists mostly sidestepped the dominant figure in Republican politics. The Gathering, Erickson said, “is our time to come together and hear from people
Former President Donald J. Trump has finally made a decision on whether or not to attend the first Republican presidential debate, and as many things go these days, not everyone is happy about it.
Although more than a few have expressed their approval of Trump’s reported decision to hold an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in lieu of the highly anticipated GOP primary.
It’s a one-two punch to the former Trump-friendly news network as the interview is reported to take place at the same time the debate will be shown live on Fox from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on August 23rd.

President Joe Biden’s Cuban-born border chief is accelerating his transfer of poor Cuban migrants into Americans’ society and the U.S. economy.
“Cubans, like my own family, who nearly 63 years ago fled the communist takeover, deserve the same opportunity to follow legal pathways to build a new life in the United States,” said a statement from border chief Alejandro Mayorkas.The statement announced the opening of a “Field Office” in Havana to help migrants get into the United States via chain migration paperwork, family reunification claims, refugee status, and supposedly “lawful … pathways.”
Mayorkas is a pro-migration zealot, and has frequently argued that “equity” forbids Americans from excluding foreigners
More than 1,000 school districts across the United States have policies openly stating that district personnel can or should keep students’ transgender status hidden from their parents.
This figure includes 18,335 schools and 10,712,558 students, according to the organization Parents Defending Education. (X) The expansion shows the growing reach of advocates for the transgender ideology. They claim that the government must treat each person’s self-described “gender” as more important than their male or female sex.
As Breitbart News previously reported, a recent study strongly suggests that social contagion is a factor in teenagers and young adults identifying as transgender.
Maui authorities are dramatically underplaying the number of people known to have died in the inferno that ripped through Lahaina last week - with locals telling DailyMail.com that the actual death toll is at least 480 and that morgues had run out of body bags.
The figure is quadruple that of the official number of 111 - and some of the relatives of the victims have been left to uncover the remains of their loved ones themselves due to the glacial progress of the search and recovery operation.
On Tuesday, Maui mayor Richard Bissen said just 25 per cent of the stricken town had been searched, although he expected

Saving the Republic was always going to be a trilogy. In 2016 we caught the club off guard, “Club Wars” began. In 2020 the collective “Empire Strikes Back.” Now we enter 2024, all of the enemies are defined, and the “Revenge of the MAGA” begins.
Within the epic battle that 2024 represents, the multinationals are deploying every available weapon in their arsenal and the rebellion is running an insurgency campaign while withstanding the constant bombardment. While much is yet to be determined, our flag is still raised, and we stand steadfast -living our best life- while the bombs burst all around us.
A requirement that voters present a valid photo ID when they show up at the polls is unfortunately working exactly as the Republicans who passed it last year intended. The Lorain County Board of Elections on Wednesday discarded the provisional ballots of 160 voters because 39 didn’t have a photo ID and 121 had expired IDs when they showed up to vote in the special election Aug. 8. “That makes me very uncomfortable,” Democratic board member Anthony Giardini said. “These people weren’t cheating.” (Snip) The board’s other Democratic member, Inez James, called it “voter suppression.”
Thursday, during an appearance on FNC’s “America’s Newsroom,” network contributor Karl Rove urged former President Donald Trump to participate in the upcoming first presidential primary debate.
Rove argued Trump’s participation would demonstrate he was a “leader” of the GOP primary field. “I would, even though there’s, you know, look, there are dangers,” he said. “I mean, he will be, you know, he if he shows up, he will be attacked by everybody in one way, shape or form.
The Georgia RICO indictment against President Trump this week for challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election is ‘retribution for Black voters in Georgia according to Kenda Davenport Cotton, CEO of the New Georgia Project Action Fund. Cotton is also the CEO of the New Georgia Project which was founded by noted Georgia election denier Stacey Abrams. [Tweet]
Cotton made her remarks about Black voter retribution to The Grio (excerpt):
Advocates say Trump’s indictment is a rare moment of accountability by a judicial system that has historically been unfair to Black Americans.

Joe Biden on Friday hosted a first-ever trilateral summit with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol at Camp David in Maryland.
After the meeting, Joe Biden held a joint press conference with the Japanese Prime Minister and South Korean President.
The 80-year-old described the summit by reading from his notes.
Joe Biden also read answers from his notecards.
At one point, Joe Biden insulted a Japanese reporter who asked him a few questions: “I’m glad I didn’t have you as my law professor!”
The advent of a new presidential campaign season brings with it the usual political- and media-class sentiment: no one wants to go back (to whatever one thinks there is to go back to), everyone wants to move forward. The conceit of progress that has gripped the American psyche for well over a century always demands the next click in the ratchet. It is the sort of perennial existential discontent, questing for the next thing, that is superb for, say, settling a frontier. It is much less salutary when the "next thing" is a new frontier in state power or societal overthrow.
President Biden has taken fire this week for reportedly using aliases and "secret" email addresses as vice president in messages to his son Hunter Biden, who had business in Ukraine at the time. Under former President Barack Obama's administration, White House officials defended the use of alternate email addresses. During a 2013 press briefing, the Obama-Biden White House, amid accusations that individuals within the administration had been using "secret" email addresses for correspondence, highlighted its belief that using "alternate email addresses" for high-ranking officials made "eminent sense."
Former Trump "Fixer" Michael Cohen, one of Donald Trump's former most-prominent lawyers, not only had some harsh words to say about his old boss on Wednesday; he also pre-blasted, as it were, voters who'll support Trump in the 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries.
In a word, Cohen said it would be "stupid" for the GOP to nominate Trump.
Did I mention that Cohen recently announced he's considering running for Congress in New York — as a Democrat? In other words, I suggest that you read every Cohen comment I quote with that caveat. That way, you won't pull out your hair before you get to the end of the article.
Dates have been proposed for former President Donald Trump’s four criminal trials, and they appear to follow a suspicious pattern.
Each of Trump's trials will take place at a crucial point in the GOP primary, guaranteeing it will dominate news coverage of the primary from start to finish.
The trials will likely hamstring Trump’s efforts to campaign, and this could undermine his appeal if voters decide the former president is too bogged down to effectively run for a second term. Given the polling and fundraising boosts which Trump has enjoyed after each indictment, however, the trial dates could also push Trump to victory.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre got embarrassed on a friendly network discussing the devastation of the island of Maui. Last week, massive brushfires tore through Hawaii, likely caused by damaged electrical wires subjected to high winds from a hurricane off the coast. The blaze killed over 100 people, with the death toll expected to rise. There are at least 1,000 people still unaccounted for as recovery efforts continue. Total damages are $6 billion. It’s one of the deadliest wildfires in a century.
The Biden White House is still recovering from the president’s compassionless remarks about the rising death toll.
A former Brazilian military police officer who was convicted of multiple murders and sentenced to over 200 years in prison was arrested in New Hampshire, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Vidal was convicted, along with three other Brazilian military police officers, of the 11 murder charges, as well as charges of attempted murder and physical and mental torture. The crimes occurred in November 2015.

SARASOTA, Fla. — Ron Filipkowski sat at a table in the Sarasota courthouse waiting for the judge to call his client’s name, when the urge to pull out his cell phone finally overcame him.
The docket was stacked that day and he had time to kill. So, he did what he often does: checked X, formerly Twitter. His eyes began to scan. His fingers moved into place. Filipkowski saw that former Vice President Mike Pence had turned down an invitation to appear at a Georgia GOP convention where Donald Trump was slated to appear as the keynote speaker. He dashed off his take.

Al Sharpton, who has a history of stoking racial tensions, accused former President Donald Trump of wanting to use the N-word in a social media post about election rigging in Georgia during the 2020 election.

Trump has since announced his legal team has advised to put what was going to be said in the press conference into legal court documents and the presser will no longer take place.
The Great China-American Abyss

Imagine if the United States treated China in the same way it does us.
What if American companies simply ignored Chinese copyrights and patents and stole Chinese ideas, inventions, and intellectual property as they pleased and with impunity? What if the American government targeted Chinese industries by dumping competing American export products below the cost of production -- to bankrupt Chinese competitors and corner their markets?
What would the communist Chinese government do if a substantial American spy balloon lazily traversed continental China -- sending back to the United States photographic surveillance of Chinese military bases and installations?
It seems as if everything that could go wrong happened during the Maui wildfires. The island’s disaster relief chief never triggered the alarm system. He bluntly said it wouldn’t have saved the people in the mountainside region when pressed why it was never activated.

Donald Trump's biggest GOP rivals are descending on Atlanta for a conference just days after the former President's latest indictment was handed down in Fulton County, Georgia.

Former president Donald Trump plans to skip the first Republican primary debate on Wednesday and will instead sit for an interview with Tucker Carlson.
The debate night plan, first reported by the New York Times, was finalized in recent days after Trump spent weeks crowd testing the question with campaign crowds and waffling on the topic in private discussions with advisers.
The exact timing of the Tucker Carlson interview is still up in the air, but if the sit-down streams live on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, during the debate time slot, it could simultaneously strike a blow against Fox and diminish Trump’s Republican primary opponents
Hunter Biden secretly hid out at the White House two weeks after making a plea deal for his tax and gun crimes, according to a report.
The president's scandal-plagued 53-year-old son spent two weeks in the executive mansion beginning on June 21 - the day after he reached the now-defunct plea bargain with US Attorney David Weiss, the Washington Post reported.
The deal would have seen Hunter avoid jail time for failing to pay taxes and lying about his drug habits on a gun form - but it blew up when the judge informed Hunter he could still be prosecuted other crimes in the future.

In the United States of America, there are roughly 3,150 counties. Most of them have prosecutors or district attorneys. Each one of these can usually empanel a grand jury. These grand juries can, with rare exceptions, meet in secret to consider indicting anyone at all. There need be no publicity at all, but there usually is. These grand juries can call witnesses and even require Americans to testify for days or even weeks on end on matters that took place years before. The “defendants” in these matters are not allowed to have lawyers, although sometimes they do. They are sometimes kept from their families and colleagues for long periods.

District Judge Maryellen Noreika has dismissed two outstanding misdemeanor tax charges against Hunter Biden following a request from federal prosecutors, setting the stage for additional charges from newly appointed special counsel David Weiss.
Under the terms of an initial plea deal that later collapsed, Hunter was to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax violations and submit to a pre-trial diversion agreement to avoid a felony gun charge in exchange for broad immunity from future charges.
Noreika challenged the terms of the deal in court last month, noting that the broad immunity prosecutors offered Hunter was unprecedented.

A new report from Military.com has revealed that Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma is refusing to reveal the cause of death for 17 base personnel who have passed away this year. How does one base have a death toll of 17 in the span of eight months? Why would the base not want to share information concerning what happened to these individuals and why so many people at one military installation have died?
Since the base is funded with American tax dollars and the people dying are public servants, I think the general public has a right to know what is going on at Tinker Air Force Base, don’t you?
Imagine a young, bright-eyed journalism student, envisioning a future as a crusading force for truth, justice, and holding the powerful accountable. You idolize journalistic giants like Woodward and Bernstein, Upton Sinclair, H. L.

Yet, somewhere along the way, this passionate dreamer finds himself in a perplexing situation: that he is now part of the mainstream political reporting machinery, promoting narratives designed not to expose the truth, but to obfuscate and deceive.
So, how do these once-aspiring journalistic heroes live with themselves?

Poor Fani. Her moment of glory will be a short one. Lawyers tell us that Fani’s case against President Trump is likely to be moved to a federal court -- because it is directed at federal officials and because the accusations are very similar to those made by Jack Smith in the January 6th indictments.
In the end, however, Fani may be happy to let the feds conduct the trial because some of the 161 “Acts of Racketeering” (ACTs) in the indictment involve dangerous criminals doing dangerous things. For example, here is ACT 6 (in its entirety):

January 6 political prisoner Ryan Samsel has been held in prison without trial now since January 2021.
During his two-and-a-half years without trial Ryan has been moved around to 17 different facilities. Ryan has been beaten, abused, tortured, and neglected since his arrest in January 2021.
Earlier this week The Gateway Pundit received exclusive photos from Ryan Samsel’s prison cell at the FDC in Philadelphia. The cell was a size of a closet with a light on all of the time. The cell had a thin blue mattress, no sheets or blankets, no clothing, and he was kept here for five months straight.
Former President Donald Trump said Thursday on Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow” that the Georgia indictment and others are all part of the same “witch hunt.”
Anchor Larry Kudlow said, “We’re here to talk about the economy, what’s gone wrong and how you can fix it, but I do think you should have a chance to talk about this crazy Georgia indictment. I know you gave an interview with Fox Digital. It was a good interview. You said you saw darkness, but you also seem to see some optimism in the potential outcome. I thought we just see what you had to say about that.”
Georgia State Sen. Colton Moore (R) wants Gov. Brian Kemp to declare an emergency session to investigate Fulton County DA Fani Willis. Willis is the one who brought charges against President Donald Trump, including a RICO charge. A grand jury indicted him this week. (Snip) As a Georgia State Senator, I am officially calling for an emergency session to review the actions of Fani Willis. America is under attack. I’m not going to sit back and watch as radical left prosecutors politically TARGET political opponents.
I’ve made the point repeatedly that both the D.C. and Georgia indictments of Donald Trump start from a premise that isn’t true--that an attempt to “overturn” an election in and of itself is criminal. The means by which an election is overturned may be criminal, but the end goal is not. With regard to the D.C. indictment, I questioned Where is the crime?(Snip)The core of the alleged crime is disruption of the electoral count, but that took place because of the riot, and Trump has not been indicted (yet) for inciting the riot.
