Newsweek Claims Donald Trump Was Not Really
Shot Because Only Part of a Bullet Hit Him

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 7/25/2024 2:00:05 PM

Newsweek is facing social media backlash after downplaying the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump by suggesting he was only hit with part of a bullet instead of an intact bullet. The Newsweek article is titled “Donald Trump Might Not Have Been Shot After All.” Newsweek attempts to justify this title by pointing to testimony from FBI Director Christopher Wray, wherein Wray said, “…With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear.” (X)

If shrapnel, what caused it? If Biden were in the same situation, the press would be touting how brave he was surviving an AK-47 attack

So will Wray or any member of Newsweeks staff kindly volunteer to be hit with just a part of a bullet, to prove that point?

Yea! Great source in Christopher Wray of the Deep State. A real go-to guy. No explanation how it was a shrapnel, not a deadly bullet. These guys are just not going to let Trump have his day in the sun!

It would be reasonable to expect the FBI Director to have enough knowledge of ballistics to realize how absurd that statement is. Then again, we have the lesson of the "Magic Bullet" theory from the events of November 22, 1963 to consider........

FTA -Wray said, “…With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear.” Two people critically wounded, one dead, the target of an assassin miraculously escapes injury. And Wray makes a sociopathic statement like this.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) praised the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris, France, as being “imaginative, inventive and memorable.” The opening ceremony featured an opening dance number that showed women being “flung around on poles,” while another dance number showed three dancers, two men and a woman, who had been dancing through the streets, going up the stairs of a building as they began kissing. The dancers then went into a room and began to kiss some more. Lady Gaga also sang French songs in a prerecorded opening, while Celine Dion sang from the Eiffel Tower.

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals responded to Jack Smith’s bid to appeal Judge Cannon’s decision to dismiss the classified documents case against President Trump. The appeals court provided a schedule that requires Trump and Jack Smith to file briefs through October, Politico reported. Jack Smith’s chances of reviving the case will not happen before the election after all the legal briefs are filed and the court hears oral arguments. Special counsel Jack Smith’s bid to revive the classified documents case against Donald Trump appears unlikely to be resolved or even argued in court before Election Day. Politico reported:

Democrats and the media don’t like to talk about it, but Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 was one of the things that led to his downfall. You can look at a graph of Biden’s approval rating and pinpoint the exact moment of the withdrawal. His approval numbers went upside down and never recovered. Now that the media is desperately trying to rewrite history, it’s important to remember that Kamala Harris was part of that process and even defended it months later. Harris even tried to take credit for it.

The FBI clarified Friday that a bullet struck former President Donald Trump during an attempt against his life in a rally on July 13. An attempted assassin present near a Trump rally in Pennsylvania on July 13 opened fire and injured the former president before he was neutralized by the Secret Service. FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress on Thursday that there were still “some questions” as to what exactly had struck Trump during the assassination attempt, whether it was a “bullet or shrapnel,” though did not directly mention whether glass fragments could be responsible, a theory that has been used by some in the media.

Advice to Israel: Get it done in Gaza fast and get to it with Hezbollah soon, because it’s a 50-50 proposition that Kamala Harris is going to be president in January. And she is coming after you. In her first major statement as the presumptive Democratic nominee, Harris began by saying Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorism. Some commenters said she was therefore speaking supportive words. That is absurd on its face. It actually goes without saying that every nation, in every circumstance, has the right to defend itself against terrorism, since terrorism is the act of deploying political violence against non-combatants. That includes bad nations, and mean nations,

'It is my great honor to have Joe's endorsement in this race,' she boasted to cheers from a crowd who were now on her payroll.But as the assembled readily applauded, some must have harbored private concerns. For, behind the recent public self-branding of Harris as a kindly, jovial 'Momala', she has earned a nasty reputation as an alleged 'soul-destroying' workplace 'bully'.

First of all, some perspective on polls. I have had some experience with polls and pollsters during my time in the media. The results of any poll are dependent on, among other things, the demographic contacted, the number of people polled, the questions that pollsters ask, and the way they phrase those questions. And it is not unheard of for organizations to conduct polls to obtain a desired result. So it is always wise to take the results of any poll with a few shakers of salt. Be that as it may, if the information about a recent poll that the Daily Mail highlighted is at all indicative of the

So much for the expected polling bump for Vice President Kamala Harris. In three surveys since she became the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, Harris has failed to overtake former President Donald Trump as his campaign feared would happen. Instead, the race remains where it has been for months, with Trump leading Harris both in new national head-to-head and battleground state surveys. Just out is the latest Rasmussen Reports poll shared with Secrets and taken over the past three nights. It shows Trump leading Harris with likely voters 50%-43%, well outside the margin of error. That is just a 1-point increase for Harris over Rasmussen’s last Biden-Trump head-to-head survey

Biden had revealed himself to be woefully unprepared to challenge Donald Trump effectively in what many have called the most significant election of our lifetimes.
