Got Back Up on His Feet’

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) delivered a powerful speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC) this week in which he compared former President Trump to a lion climbing back to his feet following the failed assassination attempt on his life. “Are you ready for 4 more years of Donald Trump?” Tim Scott asked the crowd, who enthusiastically responded. “If you didn’t believe in miracles before Saturday, you better be believing right now,” he said. “Thank God almighty that we live in a country that still believes in the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the Alpha and the Omega. And our God – Our God! – still saves.

President Joe Biden is preparing to back changes to the Supreme Court that he hopes will energize the left-wing base of the Democratic Party as his reelection campaign continues to sink.
The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Biden will soon back term limits for Supreme Court justices and a new “ethics code” to be enforced against the judiciary.
He will stop short, however, of calling to expand the Court.
That could be a matter of politics more than one of principle.
Democrats once hoped to use their temporary majority in both houses of Congress in 2021 and 2022 to expand and “pack” the Court with enough liberal justices
I’ve spoken to so many people who were shocked at the assassination attempt on President Trump. But as pointed out by Sebastian Gorka, what is shocking is not that the assassination was attempted but that it took this long.
The public discourse has become progressively uglier over the years, especially over the last few months as Trump has risen in the polls. Dr. Gorka pointed out the many calls for violence against Trump and MAGA supporters coming from leftist politicians like Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi and, of course, President Biden’s call to put a bullseye on President Trump.
Joe Biden's interview with NBC News’ Lester Holt Monday night was kind of a disaster. His failure to accept responsibility for his dangerous and violent rhetoric about Donald Trump was enraging, but the interview also became the latest example of his disturbing lack of mental fitness for the presidency. He once again came off as tired and weak, but things got really disturbing when he referred to his female Secret Service director as a man.
"Do you have — are you — are you — you have confidence in the Secret Service?” Holt asked. "Do you feel safe?"
"I feel safe with the Secret Service,” Biden said.
According to two sources familiar with the Secret Service's operations, the rooftop from which a gunman fired at former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., had been flagged as a potential security risk by the agency days before the incident, NBC News reported.
The sources indicate that the Secret Service was aware of the risks associated with the building adjacent to the Butler Farm Show, an outdoor venue.
“Someone should have been on the roof or securing the building so no one could get on the roof,” one of the sources, a former senior Secret Service agent, explained.
Understanding how the gunman got onto the roof —
In the wake of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, Brexit leader Nigel Farage announced that he is going make an emergency trip to the United States to show solidarity with his longtime friend and political ally.
The newly-elected Reform UK Member of Parliament said that he will fly to Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention this week to “stand shoulder to shoulder with President Trump and the US to stand up for democracy.”
Writing in The Telegraph the morning following the attempt on Donald Trump’s life by a gunman, Mr Farage said: “I do so to support my friend, Donald Trump,
Former White House press secretary and MSNBC host Jen Psaki said Monday on the network’s coverage of the Republican National Convention that Teamsters president Sean O’Brien’s speech to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee stung “a bit” for Democrats.
Psaki said, “I think this one stings a bit. I don’t think it matters hugely but it I think it does sting a bit if you are the Democrats and the Biden team. There perhaps there hasn’t been a more pro-labor president aside from Joe Biden in modern history.”
Co-host Rachel Maddow said, “Although Sean O’Brien has been telegraphing this for a long time. This is not a surprise.”

Former President Donald Trump arrived at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Monday, two days after surviving an assassination attempt.
Lee Greenwood first spoke to the crowd, making it clear that “prayer works” ahead of Trump’s introduction.
“Is there any doubt who’s going to be the next President of the United States?” he asked.
“Prayer works — this nation based on faith. Prayer works, because he was sure as Donald Trump turned his head just slightly, that the bullet missed him just enough to save his life to be the next President of the United States,” Greenwood said as the crowd cheered.
During all the insanity that happened on Saturday involving the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, there was a moment that stood out to many, and it involved the conduct of the female Secret Service agents. As one clip showed, the women protecting Trump looked jittery and slightly unsure of themselves. One of them tried to holster her side arm but kept missing the holster, eventually just placing it close to her until it was easier to do so. This resulted in many people questioning why there were female Secret Service agents in the first place.
To be clear, I also spoke out about this,

BUTLER, Pa. — Channel 11 News uncovered dramatic new details Monday in the moments leading up to the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump. According to multiple law enforcement sources, Thomas Crooks was spotted by law enforcement on a roof nearly 30 minutes before shots were fired that injured Trump, killed a former fire chief and injured two others in the crowd.
Channel 11′s Nicole Ford confirmed that Beaver County’s ESU team had eight members at the rally, including snipers and spotters. According to Ford’s sources, one of them noticed a suspicious man on a roof near the rally at 5:45 p.m.,
Former President Donald Trump has chosen freshman Ohio Sen. JD Vance to serve as his No. 2 in his bid to return to the White House, ending months of speculation about who he had chosen for his VP.
Trump world insiders had long said the 78-year-old would choose someone based on “loyalty” and someone who would compliment his strong personality, but not overshadow him, raise money and be ready to serve.
The decision comes on the first day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and comes two days after a gunman shot Trump in the upper ear at a Pennsylvania rally. The shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, nearly missed Trump’s head,
Things got heated at the Staten Island GOP conference after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, and some members have been tearing reporters a new one as they attempt to place the blame for it on...Donald Trump.
One fiery moment includes New York State Assemblyman Sam Pirozzolo, who got behind the podium to address accusations that Trump's own rhetoric is responsible for the attempt on his life and that the shooter was a registered Republican, something that the press has been attempting to use to absolve themselves of any blame.
Taking the stage, Pirozzolo chided the reporters for suggesting that this is just more Republican violence.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough did not react kindly to the network removing his show from the air Monday following the assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump.
Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski, his wife, addressed the situation Tuesday and accused MSNBC of lying to them about replacing the show with breaking news coverage of the fallout from the Trump assassination attempt. If MSNBC does that again, Scarborough said, he will leave the show and they can find a new host.
“We were told, in no uncertain terms on Sunday evening that there was going to be one news feed across all NBC news channels yesterday,” Scarborough said. “That did not happen.”
This is a scary moment in America, and we need a leader who won’t exploit the chaos. Someone who can strike just the right tone – with humanity, and moral clarity – that trickles down to other leaders in both parties, reminding us of our values, our better selves.
Joe Biden rose to the occasion. He expressed sincere empathy for Donald Trump and other victims of Saturday’s horrific attack, including a father killed while protecting his family from bullets. He called on all Americans to “lower the temperature in our politics,” and to reject violence in any form. He did his part, dialed it down,

Embattled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle says she has no plans to resign, even after the stunning revelation that the agency decided not to guard the roof from which Thomas Crooks opened fire on former President Donald Trump because it was too slanted. “That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof,” she told ABC News in a startling admission.“And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside,” she told the outlet.
Need a little convincing about the worthiness of J.D. Vance as President Trump's running mate?
Look no further than Sen. Mitt Romney's boiling hate of the guy.
From X:
“I don’t know that I can disrespect someone more than J. D. Vance,” Mitt Romney told me when he was running for Senate.
So much for civility. So much for Senate congeniality. That's a fellow Republican Senator of his, with whom he's now served in the Upper House for three years and he couldn't manage to muster a courteous word
In the 48 hours before he opened fire on former President Donald Trump, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks made a series of stops in and around his suburban Pittsburgh hometown. On Friday, he went to a shooting range where he was a member, and practiced firing, [Snip] The next morning, Crooks went to a Home Depot, where he bought a five-foot ladder, and a gun store, where he purchased 50 rounds of ammunition, the official said. [Snip] He parked the car outside the rally, with an improvised explosive device hidden in the trunk that was wired to a transmitter he carried, the official said.
The Biden campaign says former president Donald Trump’s decision to select Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate makes it “more clear than ever that our rights, our freedoms, and our democracy are on the line this November.”
The fearmongering rhetoric comes just two days after Trump survived an attempted assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pa.
Trump announced his VP pick on the first day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, selecting Vance from a shortlist that reportedly included North Dakota governor Doug Burgum and Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
Vance, an Ohio-based venture capitalist and the author of the bestselling memoir Hillbilly Elegy, entered politics less than two years ago
Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey was convicted of federal corruption and bribery charges on Tuesday, Fox News reported. Menendez, who was indicted on Mar. 5, was convicted by a jury over his involvement in a bribery and corruption scheme with three New Jersey businessmen and the Egyptian government. The indictment was brought forth following an investigation and search of his New Jersey home, where authorities found over $480,000 in cash hidden throughout the property, a luxury vehicle purchased for his wife by the businessmen, and over $100,000 of gold bars, according to the indictment.
Enough about Joe Biden's mindless nastiness. I'll take my cue from Donald Trump and Biden himself and focus on policy this morning.
Specifically, let's talk about Joe Biden's mindless and nasty demagoguery on economic policies. Faced with the electoral consequences of his corrosive inflationary wave, especially in shelter costs, Biden has to come up with some promised policy solution. And that is ... federal rent control:
President Joe Biden is ready to propose a 5% cap on annual rent increases for tenants of major landlords as he tries to show he’s doing something about the high cost of housing, according to a person familiar with the plan.
US authorities obtained intelligence from a human source in recent weeks on a plot by Iran to try to assassinate Donald Trump, a development that led to the Secret Service increasing security around the former president in recent weeks, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN.
There’s no indication that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin who attempted to kill the former president on Saturday, was connected to the plot, the sources said.
The existence of the intelligence threat from a hostile foreign intelligence agency — and the enhanced security for Trump — raises new questions about the security lapses at the Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and how a 20-year-old
The heartbroken widow of Corey Comperatore, the hero firefighter shot dead by a sniper at a Trump rally, wanted nothing to do with President Biden when he called after the tragedy, she told The Post.
“I didn’t talk to Biden,” Helen Comperatore said from her Pennsylvania home on Monday. “I didn’t want to talk to him. My husband was a devout Republican and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.”
Corey Comperatore, a beloved volunteer firefighter and married father of two, was at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pa. on Saturday with his family when deranged sniper Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, opened fire.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid was credited with “gaslighting at its finest” as she spun up a “universal kind of reaction” regarding the coverage of former President Donald Trump’s post-assassination attempt. (Snip) “And people are concerned and expressing concern that we won’t be the guardians of memory. And that we will allow Donald Trump as he is, you know, bathed in the glory and grandeur of his party, to rewrite himself as both a hero and a victim,” she said at one point during the coverage. The take prompted former cop and commentator Brandon Tatum to state, “Gaslighting at its finest. This
A local police counter-sniper team was stationed inside the building that Thomas Crooks crawled on top of to fire at and nearly kill former President Donald Trump, according to a shocking report.
The building was a “watch post” for local police snipers to scan for threats, law enforcement sources told the New York Post.
Sources told the Post that the local police sniper team was inside the building, but not on the roof — where Crooks climbed and waited for Trump to begin speaking before firing off eight shots, hitting Trump in the ear, killing a rally-goer, and wounding two others
