Tesla CEO and X/Twitter owner Elon Musk has reportedly pledged to donate around $45 million a month to a pro-Trump Super PAC.
Sources close to the matter told the Wall Street Journal that Musk had pledged to donate roughly $45 million a month to America PAC, a political action committee that was created in June. This comes after Musk previously came off the sidelines and donated a “sizeable amount” to America PAC to heThe outlet noted that other financial backers of America PAC were Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Harvard-educated twins who accepted a settlement after they had accused Mark Zuckerberg of taking the idea for Facebook from them,
Three law enforcement officers were stationed inside the building where a gunman shot former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally Saturday.
Two days after the failed assassination attempt, BeaverCountian.com reported that an officer confirmed “there were three counter-snipers” stationed underneath the same roof where the assailant blew off part of President Trump’s right ear. Officers notified the “command center” about the threat before the gunman fatally shot a rallygoer and injured three others, including the Republican presidential nominee.
Milwaukee — Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley endorsed Donald Trump’s campaign Tuesday night in her Republican National Convention speech, her latest step toward embracing her former rival and unifying the party after their bitter presidential primary.
“I’ll start by making one thing perfectly clear: Donald Trump has my strong endorsement, period,” Haley said Tuesday.
As Trump watched on from the convention center’s VIP suite, Haley used her speech to defend the former president’s foreign policy record and speak directly to voters who disagree with him on certain issues. “There are some Americans who don’t agree with Donald Trump 100% of the time,” she said. “My message to them is simple:

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) warned in a recent private meeting that Democrats stand to lose everything this election so long as President Joe Biden remains at the top of the ticket.
Schiff delivered his warning to donors during a meeting on Saturday, which occurred prior to the attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump’s life. Schiff feared not only that Democrats would lose the White House but that they would also lose the down-ticket races in the House and Senate.

Billionaire Elon Musk said Tuesday he will shift the headquarters of privately held SpaceX and social media site X to Texas from California — calling Gov. Gavin Newsom’s decision to sign a new student gender identity law “the final straw.”
The law, signed Monday, blocks school districts from requiring teachers to notify parents about changes in a student’s gender identity or sexual orientation without the child’s permission. It also requires the state’s Department of Education to create resources for families of LGBTQ+ students from seventh grade through high school.
“This is the final straw,” Musk wrote on X. “Because of this law and the many others
As the country continues to reel from the failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, more and more Americans are waking up to the lies they have been told by Democrats that have been amplified by their willing accomplices in the media.

Thank God former President Donald Trump survived the assassination last Saturday during his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Unquestionably the guiding hand of Providence protected him on that fateful day. A mere turn of the head was the difference between life and death, and possibly civil unrest on a scale not seen since the Civil War. America has been the beneficiary of providential acts since its inception. Even a cursory overview of American history displays the hand of God in our national affairs. In a letter to the Hebrew Congregation of Savannah Georgia, dated 14 June 1790, George Washington said,
While former and potentially future President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt on Saturday during his rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania, Corey Comeperatore, 50, was tragically killed while shielding his wife and daughters.

U.S. authorities reportedly received intelligence ahead of an assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump over the weekend that Iran was reportedly plotting to kill him, CNN reported on Tuesday.
The intelligence, provided to U.S. authorities by a human source, prompted the Secret Service to ramp up protections for the former president in the weeks leading up to the shooting, several people briefed on the matter told CNN. White House National Security spokeswoman Adrienne Watson told The New York Times that there is no known connection between the alleged Iranian plot and the assassination attempt against Trump by Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old gunman who was killed by U.S. forces

As Vice Presidential hopeful J.D. Vance moves into the spotlight after being selected as former President Donald Trump's running mate in 2024, the campaign is setting the record straight on a number of issues - including his height.
Google search results identified Vance's height is 5'7," which appeared as a significant underestimation of his stature, based on his record in the Senate with his colleagues.
To set the record straight, a campaign official sent a photo of Vance standing next former President Trump, himself listed as 6'3 by his White House physician.The spokesman sent the following photo to DailyMail.com and noted that Trump and Vance were ‘of similar height.’
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.

Thank to Joe Biden-flation and his catastrophic economic policies, American families are spending over $11,000 more annually just for necessities.
The obscene cost of inflation is hitting hardworking Americans, as overall prices have gone up almost 20% since the Meanderer-in-Chief came into office in 2021. Americans can thank the Biden administration for that $11,400 extra for necessities, about 20% of the average U.S. annual salary. And if you hear the lie that inflation is down, don’t believe it. All that means is that the inflation rate is allegedly slowing, and the Biden administration loves to engage in monkey business to manipulate such statistics.
This was a miracle.

On July 13, Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. It led to an iconic image of the former president, who had just escaped death from a would-be assassin, perched less than 200 yards from the stage, raising his fist in defiance, face bloody, telling his supporters to “fight.” It’s become a viral sensation. It’s also made some media photographers and editors queasy because—get this—it could hurt Biden and give “free PR” to Trump. You can’t make this up. They’re afraid to do their jobs because it could hurt the Democrats.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been handed a new court date in her election subversion case against former President Donald Trump.
It was announced Tuesday that on December 5, a panel of three Republican-appointed Georgia appeals court judges would hear Trump's appeal seeking to disqualify Willis from the case due to her relationship with former prosecutor Nathan Wade.
The change will pause the already delayed case until one month after this year's presidential election. If Trump wins the election, the case would almost certainly remain on hold until his next presidential term is over, if not be thrown out entirely.
The appeal had previously been scheduled for October 4.

Black Republican delegates held their first-ever formal meeting at the Republican National Convention, headlined by a long list of black elected Republicans whose number has grown in the Trump era.
The event, which drew about 200 attendees, was sponsored by the Black Republican Mayors’ Association, and headlined by Richard Irving, the black Republican mayor of Aurora, Illinois — that state’s second-largest city after Chicago.

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.

Bethel Park, Pa. — The road leading into Bethel Park, where former president Donald Trump’s would-be assassin lived, is decorated with American flags, “Trump/Pence” signs, “Trump 2024: No More Bullsh**” banners, and “Bethel Park salutes” posters. On almost every corner in town hangs a military banner, part of a program the municipality started to pay tribute to community members who served in the Armed Forces. The town displays banners of local heroes from Memorial Day to Veterans Day each year, among them Leo John Kelly, who was killed in action in Vietnam, and Sgt. Russell A.

Monday’s Lester Holt interview with President Biden shows that Joe’s damage-control press tour just keeps on doing more damage — it went far worse than his heart-to-heart with George Stephanopoulos. For starters, Biden couldn’t even bring himself to fully apologize for saying Dems should put Donald Trump in a “bull’s-eye,” instead lamely insisting, “I didn’t say crosshairs.” Cold comfort (and bad taste) indeed, after Trump was nearly felled by an assassin’s bullet.
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.
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.
Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey was convicted of federal corruption and bribery charges on Tuesday, Fox News reported.

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.
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.

"Do you have — are you — are you — you have confidence in the Secret Service?” Holt asked. "Do you feel safe?"

President Joe Biden continues to resist calls from Democrats to quit his flagging reelection bid, and continues to accede to prayers from Republicans not to.
Instead, he has set some pre-conditions on quitting that he figures will never be fulfilled. “If the Lord Almighty came down and said, ‘Joe, get out of the race,’ I’d get out of the race,” he said last week.
At his rare press conference a few days later, he said he’d quit if the polls said, “There’s no way [he] could win.” He followed that up with “No poll says that” in that creepy, corny stage whisper he has affected.

Enough about Joe Biden's mindless nastiness. I'll take my cue from Donald Trump and Biden himself and focus on policy this morning.

This demonstration of determination and life force provides a stark contrast to the dithering and often incoherent meanderings of his opponent, Joe Biden.

They have to wonder what to do next after their wish that someone would take out Donald Trump was attempted and failed.
In the hours after Trump was shot in a botched, but only by millimeters, assassination bid, the media scolds began to insist that we must “take down the temperature.”
The Republican Party platform has been out for several days now. The platform lists the following 20 points and then provides a brief explanation of how some of them are to be accomplished: “1. Seal The Border, And Stop The Migrant Invasion
2. Carry Out The Largest Deportation Operation In American History
3. End Inflation, And Make America Affordable Again
4. Make America The Dominant Energy Producer In The World, By Far!
5. Stop Outsourcing, And Turn The United States Into A Manufacturing Superpower
President Biden repeatedly scolded NBC anchor Lester Holt in an interview Monday — exclaiming at one point, “What’s with you guys? Come on, man!” — as he defended his criticism of Donald Trump despite calling on Americans to “lower the temperature” after the assassination attempt on the former president Saturday.
The 81-year-old president lashed out when Holt pressed him on his disastrous June 27 debate performance and bristled when the journalist asked him about former Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance.
“Are you seeing what [viewers] saw, which was moments of frankly, that appeared to be — you appeared to be confused?” Holt asked the president.
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.
Why is Chinese President Xi Jinping moving so fast at this time to exert control over peripheral waters? Prominent China analyst Willy Lam wrote last October that China's leader perhaps sees a closing window of opportunity and therefore is in a hurry to annex territory.
Whether he goes to war or not, he is getting ready to do so. Both the Financial Times and CNN have reported that businesses have been establishing military units inside their organizations. "Chinese Companies Are Raising Militias Like It's the 1970s," the cable network reported.
Former President Donald Trump has named Ohio Republican Sen. JD Vance as his running mate, marking the first time in 80 years a major party’s vice presidential nominee will be from Ohio.
Trump, now the Republican presidential nominee, announced Vance’s appointment as his running mate on Monday, marking the opening day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. The former president made his decision known on Truth Social.

David Sacks, the general partner of Craft Ventures, a venture capital fund, spoke at the RNC, and he did not hold back his criticisms of President Biden and his administration.
Sacks started off his speech by letting folks know he is a legal immigrant:
Good evening America. I'm David Sacks, a legal immigrant, who worked hard to achieve the American Dream. Now, I'm concerned those same opportunities won't be there for future generations. As I look out at this convention, I see a party that is strong and unified behind President Donald J. Trump, and his pick for Vice President Sen. J.D. Vance.

How exactly did Kimberly Cheatle rise the lead the United States Secret Service? A new report points the finger at Jill Biden, stating that she and her top advisor pushed for the appointment.
That decision culminated in an attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Saturday. The former president was shot in the ear, narrowly avoiding death while a chaotic and clumsy response from the Secret Service followed. It was a disastrous event for an agency with a zero-fail mission.

attacks on Vance after VP selection: 'Poor taste' replies
The Trump campaign is pushing back after President Biden immediately took to social media to blast Trump’s newly chosen candidate for Vice President, Ohio Sen. JD Vance. Shortly after Vance was announced as Trump’s candidate, the Biden campaign posted on X along with a fundraising link, "Here’s the deal about J.D. Vance. He talks a big game about working people. But now, he and Trump want to raise taxes on middle-class families while pushing more tax cuts for the rich."
Trump 2024 Deputy Communications Director Caroline Sunshine took issue with that attack in an interview with Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
Less than a day after Joe Biden called on Americans to “lower the temperature,” he denied his own dangerous and divisive rhetoric in an interview with Lester Holt on NBC News.
“You called your opponent an existential threat,” Holt pointed out. "On a call a week ago you said it's time to put Trump in the bullseye. There's some dispute about the context, but I think you appreciate that we’re—"
“I didn’t say crosshairs,” Biden retorted. “I said bull's eye. I meant focus on him. Focus on what he’s doing, focus on his policies, focus on the number of lies he told in the debate. Focus on — I mean
NBC’s Lester Holt sat down with President Joe Biden for a much-hyped interview that would kick off Biden’s counterprogramming of the Republican National Convention, which kicked off tonight. Despite President Biden’s calls to lower the temperature in the wake of the failed attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump, his rhetoric remains pretty much the same and met little pushback from Holt.
The interview begins with a question about the assassination attempt. Biden immediately cited the thoroughly debunked “Fine People Hoax” as part of the divisive rhetoric, with zero pushback from Holt.
The first night of the Republican convention had some great speeches, and lots of cheers when J.D. Vance started working the floor. But all of that receded quickly when a bandaged Donald Trump entered the room and took his seat in the final hour or so of the evening: Interestingly, Trump chose to make his entry as the speakers shifted from officeholders to the "everyday Americans" speakers slotted for the end of the evening. Michigan businessman Mark Laws seemed the most daunted by Trump's appearance, but he did overcome it and delivered a good speech. The most surprising of the speeches that followed was an ultimately charming address
In an unprecedented address, Sean O’Brien, the president of the powerful Teamsters union, delivered remarks at the Republican national convention (RNC) Monday night.
In addressing the RNC, O’Brien broke with most major unions in the US, which have overwhelmingly thrown their support behind Joe Biden. During his speech, O’Brien thanked Donald Trump “for opening the RNC’s doors” to the union – whose leaders have never spoken at the Republican national convention – and shot back at criticism over his willingness to appear at the former president’s invitation.
“I travel all across this country and meet with my members every week,” said O’Brien. “I see American workers being taken for granted
