Three More Democrats Call for Biden to
Step Aside Right after Prime-Time Press Conference
Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/12/2024 9:26:12 AM
Immediately following President Joe Biden’s prime-time press conference Thursday night at the NATO summit in Washington, a top Democratic lawmaker called for the embattled president to step aside, and soon after he was followed by two more congressmen. Representative Jim Himes (D., Conn.) ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, issued a statement once the press conference concluded, calling for Biden to “step away from the presidential campaign.” “The 2024 election will define the future of American democracy,

The nation escaped an unspeakable tragedy that would have been profoundly destabilizing for the country by perhaps a few centimeters.
As it is, what happened in Butler, Pa., is godawful enough. A gunman tried to assassinate former president Donald Trump and grazed his ear with a bullet, while killing one rally-goer and seriously injuring others. This was a heinous act of violence and an attack on American democracy.
Trump’s reaction was truly extraordinary and will long be remembered. After Secret Service officers threw themselves on the former president and then picked him up to begin to take him to safety, he insisted on pausing on the stage
The gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump Saturday was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, sources told The Post.
Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pa., squeezed off shots — one of which grazed Trump in the ear — at an outdoor rally in Butler, just outside Pittsburgh.
Sources said Crooks was planted on a roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at Butler Farm Show grounds. He was killed by Secret Service snipers. An AR-style rifle was later recovered.
Bethel Park is a village 40 miles south of where the Butler rally was held.
Why Crooks fired on the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is unclear.
How do I know that the reports over Democrat despair are credible? This one comes from Politico, but the New York Times has covered it wall-to-wall for the past two weeks as well. This isn't just conservative schadenfreude, but a real phenomenon unfolding on and being reported by the Left.
Before we get to Politico's more explicit report, we can certainly extrapolate establishment Democrat despair from this NYT report about Joe Biden's appearance in Michigan. He drew a crowd, but not any other high-ranking Democrat officeholder:
Conspicuously absent, however, were many of Michigan’s highest-profile Democrats, including Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, whose popularity
Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman endorsed Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential race on Saturday.
"I just endorsed him," Ackman posted on social media platform X after former President Trump was shot in the right ear during a campaign rally earlier Saturday. "But you know me. I write long posts on important topics. I want people to understand my thinking so it means more and helps others get to the right place," Ackman said in response to an X user.
Ackman had considered endorsing Trump as recently as May, and had planned to announce his support on X, Reuters and other media outlets reported.
An eyewitness at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania claims he saw a man with a rifle on a rooftop. He said he warned authorities but was ignored.
"We couldn't see [Trump], but we could hear him. So we walked up probably five to seven minutes from Trump speaking—I'm estimating here, I've no idea. But we noticed the guy crawling, bear-crawling up the roof of the building beside us, fifty feet away from us. So we're standing there, you know, we're pointing, we're pointing at that guy crawling up the roof."
"He had a gun, right?"
After an apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, leaving the former president bloody but defiant, it’s time for Americans to wake up and hear the gunshots. Democrats have been claiming Trump and his supporters are worse than Nazis and equivalent to terrorists. This election is about the survival not only of Donald Trump, but of the American Republic.
Whether the online rumors about the attempted shooter being an Antifa member are true or false, the fact remains that Joe Biden, his handlers, and his media lackeys have been using the most aggressive and slanderous language against Trump and MAGA for years. Some prominent Democrats have even fantasized about Trump’s death.
Saturday, July 13th, 2024, will be one of those days in American history about which, years from now, people will still be talking about — the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. It will be one of those days, like the day President Reagan was shot, the days of the shuttle disasters, about which people for years will be saying, "I remember I was at X doing Y when that happened."
My wife and I were enjoying our usual Saturday lunch date when suddenly, our favorite Susitna Valley eating place went abuzz. A television above the bar came on, and someone cried out, "The President has been shot!"
On Monday, during an appearance on “Morning Joe,” President Biden used violent rhetoric about Donald Trump.
“It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye,” Biden said.
Earlier this evening, Trump was shot at during a rally in Pennsylvania. As my colleague, Rick Moran, wrote earlier today:
For years, Republicans have been told their rhetoric leads to violence. Sarah Palin put a bullseye on the congressional district of Rep. Gabby Giffords. The "crosshairs" were not placed on Giffords. They were placed on her district on a map.
After Giffords was shot by a mentally unstable person, Democrats blamed Palin for the attack. School shootings, mass casualty events, and almost any act of violence
A man with a rifle was seen on a rooftop minutes before shots were fired at a Donald Trump rally in Pennsylvania, a witness has told the BBC.
Greg, the witness, said the man had crawled on top of a building just outside the event in Butler County on Friday evening.
He said he pointed the gunman out to police.
"I’m thinking to myself 'Why is Trump still speaking, why have they not pulled him off the stage'... the next thing you know, five shots ring out."
The former president was immediately swarmed by Secret Service agents and escorted away.
Former President Donald Trump says he “felt the bullet ripping through [his] skin” during an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
“I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear,” the 78-year-old presumptive Republican presidential nominee said in his first statement after being rushed to a local hospital. “I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening.” Trump issued the statement on his Truth Social page amid conflicting initial reports, including
President Joe Biden on Saturday evening said there was no place for 'sick' political violence in America and said he was grateful that former President Donald Trump was safe.
He addressed the media about two hours after shots were fired at Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. There's no place in America this kind of violence, it's sick. It's sick,' he said. 'It's one of the reasons we have to unite this country.
The president said he was trying to reach Trump, who is believed to be in a hospital near the rally site. He said the investigation was ongoing and he steered clear of giving a definitive assessment
Elon Musk announced on Saturday that he "fully endorses" former President Donald Trump minutes after the former president was injured at his Pennsylvania campaign rally when loud pops that sounded like gunshots erupted from the crowd.
"I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery," the tech billionaire wrote on Saturday.
Musk also shared a photo being widely shared of the former president being escorted off stage after the pops rang out from the crowd. The image shows Trump with blood on his face while holding his fist in the air. The American flag can be seen waving in the background.
Later, Musk also commented that the "last time America

People in the crowd could be heard screaming as Secret Service Agents crowded Trump and rushed him off the stage. Trump appeared to grab his ear in the moments before he was taken to the floor by the Secret Service. He was heard asking for his shoes as the guards rushed him away.

An analysis of the 2024 presidential election by FiveThirtyEight found that while the election was close, President Joe Biden was still favored to win, despite his poor debate performance.
FiveThirtyEight found that Biden was favored to win the November presidential election “50 times out of 100,” whereas former President Donald Trump was favored to win the presidential election “49 times out of 100.” The predicted outcomes were a result of FiveThirtyEight’s “simulations of the 2024 presidential election.” Out of 1,000 simulations, FiveThirtyEight found that Biden won 505 times, while Trump won 491 times.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said Friday she will not be casting her ballot for former President Donald Trump in November.
Instead, the Republican senator told reporters she plans to write in former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.
“I publicly endorsed Nikki Haley, and I wanted her to win. She’s still my favorite candidate, and I think she could do a great job. She’s my choice, and that’s how I’m going to express it,” Collins told WMTW-TV. [Tweet, video]
Collins made the remarks about the election at an event in Limerick, about 34 miles west of Portland,

On July 8, CNN reported that while defending his campaign in a video call with top donors, President Joe Biden said:
“We’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in the bull’s-eye. We can’t go another day, another day, without explaining what he’s doing, and we have to go after him.”
Five days later, someone apparently took Biden up on his word and tried to assassinate Donald Trump at a campaign rally north of Pittsburgh.
A Florida mom has been charged with inciting a 500-person riot at a skating rink after calling on her daughter’s friends to “tear this bi**ch up” when her kid’s birthday party was canceled, according to police.
Stephanie Pedroso, 36, was arrested on Thursday for allegedly sparking the chaos at Astro Skate in Brandon in May after the rink canceled her booking for an “after hours birthday party” for breach of contract, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
Pedroso made the reservation on May 14 for the May 17 event for her daughter’s birthday, but failed to secure off-duty deputies for the party as agreed upon in the contract,
MSNBC host Al Sharpton said Friday on “Morning Joe” that it was “offensive” President Joe Biden only asked white reporters questions at his NATO Summit press conference but still expects black voters to support him while leaving them out of the conversation.
Co-host Willie Geist said, “There is deep concern and I know you’re hearing it, too, that Joe Biden could lose it all for Democrats.”
Sharpton said, “I’ m hearing it, yes but I’m also hearing, not so fast because if not Biden, then how do we do a transition that doesn’t put us in a more dangerous position? I was in Milwaukee yesterday doing a eulogy for a black man
The dark reality of Bidenomics is the alarming 19.5% inflation under the President’s watch, which is 5.7% annually. When he took office, inflation was at just 1.4%. Since March 2021, inflation has consistently remained above the Federal Reserve's 2% target for 40 consecutive months.
Under Biden, the federal debt has increased by $6.9 trillion. To finance his spending spree, the Federal Reserve printed money from nothing. The increased money supply, without a corresponding increase in goods and services, reduced the value of each dollar, causing prices to rise quickly and leading to high inflation, effectively acting as a hidden tax on everyone.
I’m not going to narrate what you can witness with your own eyes and ears. The camera lens is pointed toward two U.S Secret Service protective detail snipers on the roof behind President Trump. One is the spotter. Turn on sound. You can clearly see both USSS spot the shooter, do nothing, wait for the incoming fire, then respond.
Again, video might not last. WATCH: (video)We will soon hear, “mistakes were made.”

Tesla CEO and X/Twitter owner Elon Musk has reportedly donated to a pro-Trump Super PAC in an effort to help re-elect former President Donald Trump.
Anonymous sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that Musk had donated a “sizeable amount” to America PAC. The Super PAC has reportedly been the “biggest spender on direct voter contacts” and has spent roughly “$15.8 million so far,” according to the outlet.
America PAC is described as being a group that works “mostly behind the scenes to bolster the Trump campaign’s ground game,” according to the outlet. The outlet notes that Musk’s donation would “deal a devastating blow to” President Joe Biden and the Democrat Party:
