One of the men critically wounded at Trump’s deadly campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania earlier this month has been released from the hospital, but still has a long road to recovery, his family said Sunday.
James Copenhaver, 74, of Moon Township, suffered “life-altering injuries” after he was struck by errant bullets fired by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was perched on a nearby rooftop taking aim at former President Trump at the July 13 event.
He was one of three rally-goers shot and the last surviving victim to be released from the hospital.
Members of the local SWAT team assigned to protect former President Donald Trump at his rally on July 13 have revealed that they had no contact with the Secret Service prior to an assassination attempt on the former president.
The shooting occurred on July 13 when a would-be assassin opened fire at Trump while he was addressing supporters.
During an exclusive interview with ABC News’ senior investigative correspondent Aaron Katersky, the officers detailed how a lack of communication and planning failures led to a critical delay in identifying and neutralizing the threat.
After the exercise in debauchery seen in the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics, the Associated Press raced to praise the transgender-infused program.
The AP was agog over the program created by gay French artist Thomas Jolly.Aside from the scores of obviously gay dancers, the large number of transgenders, and the dance scene suggesting a bisexual three-some sex encounter, Jolly was also condemned for a gross parody of the famed “Last Supper” painting that depicts the last time Jesus Christ met with his disciples.
SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium --When small margins decide Formula One races, it's usually measured by tenths of a second at the finish line. That appeared to be the case at Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix, when a jubilant George Russell led Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton across the line by 0.526 seconds. Two hours later, however, a similarly small margin, albeit measured in kilograms, had cost him the very same victory.

Border agents detained three Palestinian migrants who illegally crossed the southern border after they were found to have possible ties to terrorist organizations earlier this month, according to sources.
One of the migrants had “salacious photos” on their phone — including a picture of a masked man holding an AK-47 rifle, federal law enforcement sources said.
In addition to the three Palestinians, federal authorities caught one migrant from Turkey who was also suspected of having ties to terror groups.
From the moment Kamala Harris became her party's de facto nominee for the presidency, her team began cranking out advertisements attacking Donald Trump as you would expect. But she's also been attacking JD Vance as well. In one recent ad, Harris somberly warns the country that if her opponents are elected, Vance will be loyal only to Donald Trump, not to America. It's certainly true that loyalty is an attribute that Trump values highly, but going after Vance in this fashion was an obvious mistake. He's a Marine, after all, not to mention being a job creator. Accusing him of a lack of loyalty
A student at a prestigious business school was in the Big Apple for a summer internship at Citibank when he allegedly went on a sex-crimes spree, authorities and sources say.
Overachieving pervert Chamberlain Nw-iue, a 21-year-old rising senior at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, tried to rape one of his victims the day after being freed without bail in another attack, according to cops and Manhattan prosecutors.
The twisted suspect later boasted to cops about his knowledge of women — and claimed his eye contact with his attempted-rape victim beforehand was enough of an “invitation” for him to come into her apartment, authorities said.

A disturbed Virginia tween with an interest in snuff films and animal cruelty called in more than 20 violent threats to several Florida schools in May — including one in which he said there were two bombs at an elementary school, and he’d “shoot every police officer that responded,” authorities in the Sunshine State said.
The so-called “juvenile terrorist” — who hasn’t been identified because he’s a minor — was arrested July 19 in Henrico County, Va., about two months after an alleged nine-day spree of phone calls that mostly targeted a handful of schools in Flagler County, Fla.
Grassroots activists are warning Republicans that while former President Donald Trump has surged in momentum lately, the “belief that Democrats are in such disarray” following President Joe Biden’s ouster from the race could lead to dangerous “complacency.”
Trump currently leads Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, by 3 points nationwide, according to a recent CNN poll. RealClearPolitics has Trump up 2.1 percentage points in its polling average. But if President Joe Biden could win an election from his basement, and if Sen. John Fetterman could win his election despite being severely impaired from a stroke, then Harris can easily win this November if Republicans

2024 has already proven to be a headache for the Democratic Party. They had to force President Joe Biden out of the race to save their “legacy,” and Kamala Harris is not the saving grace they were hoping for. Meanwhile, outside the White House, things aren’t looking too good for the party.
For the first time in nearly a decade, Ohio's vulnerable Democratic incumbent, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), failed to secure the police union's endorsement by four votes during a floor vote.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that as president, Kamala Harris will work with Congress to “create a pathway to citizenship.”
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “President Biden charged Vice President Harris with addressing the root causes of mass migration at the border by going to those Central American countries. She’s consistently defended his handling of the border crisis. I don’t need to tell you voters overwhelmingly disapprove of how the Biden-Harris administration has handled the border by giving the nomination to one of the leaders of the border effort. So aren’t democrats doubling down on one of your party’s biggest vulnerabilities?”
A key Google feature is failing to show results for the attempted assassination of Donald Trump — drawing claims from the former president’s son that Big Tech companies are trying to influence the election.
It has also sparked a Senate investigation.
Google users were surprised to discover that the search engine’s “Autocomplete” was apparently omitting suggested results related to the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
The anomaly quickly caught the attention of social media users, including a Texas congressman and Donald Trump Jr., who began sharing screenshots of their own examples showing Google search suggestions coming up empty for queries about the deadly Pennsylvania rally shooting.
There’s no mention of Trump even when
President Joe Biden announced he was ending his reelection campaign a week after meeting in Delaware with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
But the New York Democrat won't say if he privately urged the president to step aside.
Reports emerged earlier this month that Schumer, 73, was joining the lengthy list of Democrats pressuring Biden to drop out, but he has not confirmed whether this is true and kept up the act during an interview on Sunday.
CBS Face the Nation host Robert Costa pressed the senator and said it was important to know for 'history's sake' whether he had such talks with the President.

A Boston-bound United Airlines flight was diverted on Sunday mid-air over a 'biohazard' issue.
United Airlines flight 2477 departed from Houston at 9:39 a.m. CT on Sunday destined for Boston, but was forced to reroute when a customer became sick, the airline told DailyMail.com.
The plane, a Boeing 737-800, was diverted to Washington Dulles International Airport, landing at 1:36 p.m. ET, according to FlightAware.

Shortly after the FBI revealed that Thomas Matthew Crooks was the gunman at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, who shot President Trump and killed former fire chief Corey Comparatore, hundreds of users on X speculated Crooks may have been part of a CIA MKUltra experiment.
MKUltra was a mind control experiment conducted by the CIA between 1953 and 1973 where agents used psychoactive drugs such as LSD and other chemicals on subjects without their consent in an attempt to brainwash and force the subjects to make confessions.
In response to the recent claims that Crooks was part of a CIA MKUltra experiment, the CIA has issued a rare comment refuting the claims.

Despite a furious backlash that is still going well into its third day, the spokesperson for the Paris Olympic Committee believes that their LGBT and drag queen-inspired opening ceremony performance achieved its goal of “community tolerance.”
Anne Descamps, an official with the committee, told reporters on Sunday that their performance hit its intended mark.“Clearly, there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. (The opening ceremony) tried to celebrate community tolerance,” Descamps told reporters, according to Reuters.“We believe this ambition was achieved.

The Lights Went Out in Paris

After a vile, degenerate and blasphemous opening ceremony to the Olympics in Paris France, on the first day of competition the region suffered a total power failure. Well, almost a total power failure. You see, in the top of the picture showing the blackout, you might notice one area completely unaffected. That is the Sacre Coeur Church, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. A loving God will not be mocked. The light of Jesus Christ can’t be overcome by the darkness of man. Our faith is steadfast. God is in control.
Sen. JD Vance responded to attacks on his character and patriotism from the Democratic presidential candidate during a rally Saturday in St. Cloud, Minnesota:
SEN. JD VANCE: I saw the other day that Kamala Harris questioned my loyalty to this country. That's the word she used—loyalty. It's an interesting word --
AUDIENCE: Semper fi!

Loyalty -- because there is no greater sign of disloyalty to this country than what Kamala Harris has done at our southern border.
I'd like to ask the Vice President, what has she done to question my loyalty to this country? I served in the United States Marine Corps. I went to Iraq for this country. I built
God and the Trump Shooting
replies
It seems like I’m constantly trying to come to an understanding or at least a settled position on how God involves himself in human affairs. The Trump shooting brought that to the surface again, simply because it couldn’t be scripted -- it felt beyond consequence. Also, many people of faith, including people that I see as nuanced and intelligent began claiming that it was almost beyond question, an act of God (Ben Shapiro, for instance).
I’ve been all over the board over the years from “there’s no understanding God’s involvement” to determinism (more early in my Christian life), to compatibility, meaning that paradoxically God’s sovereignty and free will aren’t mutually exclusive.
Venezuelans headed to the polls on Sunday to vote in a presidential election in which incumbent President Nicolas Maduro is aiming to secure a third term against rival Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia.
Long queues of voters gathered at various ballot stations even ahead of the polls opening at 6 a.m. (1000 GMT), the French news agency AFP reported. Polls are due to remain open until 6 p.m.
Around 21 million Venezuelans are registered to vote. Tens of thousands of security forces have been deployed, with border control ramped up and public gatherings and protests banned.
The Atlantic has published an article claiming that former President Donald Trump promised Christian supporters that he will end elections if he takes office in 2025.

Key West, Florida — In quirky Key West, Florida, it's not just tourists flocking to town, feral chickens have found their tropical paradise.

A resolution introduced by Lopez, which is now law, bans feeding chickens on public property.
"What I am looking to do is to try and address the health issues of humans, as well as the chickens," Lopez said.
The chickens can cause property damage and their droppings can spread disease. The chickens are sometimes run over by cars, and chicks can fall into storm drains.

The Israel Air Force struck Hezbollah facilities throughout Lebanon Sunday in response to a Hezbollah rocket attack that killed 12 Druze young people on a soccer field in an Israeli town in the Golan Heights. It was the deadliest attack on Israel since October 7, 2023, and stoked fears that the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza might broaden into a war between Israel and Hezbollah in the Hezbollah heartland of the Bekaa Valley.
Yesterday, Hezbollah fired at least two rockets into the Israeli town of Majdal Shams. The town is mostly Muslim Druze, who retain Syrian citizenship under the 1981 law annexing the area and are not drafted
At least 13 people were shot, two of them fatally, Friday into Saturday night in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) Chicago.
ABC 7 reported the weekend’s first fatal shooting occurred Friday in a basement apartment “in the 100 block of North Lamon Avenue.” The incident took place shortly after 11:30 p.m., leaving a 40-year-old man dead.
The weekend’s second fatal shooting occurred “early Saturday,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Two men, a 39-year-old and a 53-year-old “were in the 4900 block of West Madison Street” when someone exited a Ford Explorer and fought with them.
A staggering number of U.S. voters think that Vice President Kamala Harris was at least partially involved in covering-up the extent of President Joe Biden's mental decline.
Biden, 81, ended his reelection bid last weekend amid a flurry of calls for him to step aside after a disastrous debate performance and ensuing weeks of flubs and missteps from which he could not recover.
Harris immediately stepped in as his replacement and took over Biden's campaign. Two days later, the VP earned enough delegates to become the Democrat's presumed 2024 nominee.
Recently, I wrote a Hill column criticizing NewsGuard, a rating operation being used to warn users, advertisers, educators and funders away from media outlets based on how it views the outlets’ “credibility and transparency.”
Roughly a week later, NewsGuard came knocking at my door. My blog, Res Ipsa (jonathanturley.org), is now being reviewed and the questions sent by NewsGuard were alarming, but not surprising. I do not know whether the sudden interest in my site was prompted by my column. I have previously criticized NewsGuard as one of the most sophisticated operations being used to “white list” and “black list” sites.
The two greatest demographic bulwarks of the modern Democrat Party are urban blacks and suburban college-educated women. The first is a true mystery, given the degradation of our cities under 70 years of straight Democrat control. The second, though, is a less explored, greater mystery for at least one large subgroup: Those suburban college-educated women with children.
Over the last 40 years (and accelerating over the last 15), there has been a significant decline in all types of education metrics in the US. Math scores. Reading scores. And try to get the average high schooler (or even college student) to write you a structured, grammatical, and coherent paragraph!
When Vice President Kamala Harris became the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination following President Joe Biden’s dramatic exit from the race on Sunday, the next question was: Who will she select as her running mate?

This rueful joke has made its way around Cuba for decades: A foreign tourist, soaking up what he thinks are the advances of the communist revolution, stops a kid in the street for a chat.
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” the visitor asks.
“A foreigner,” answers the young Cuban.
Morbid humor has long been the staple of communist regimes, from Czechoslovakia to the Soviet Union, from China to the once-prosperous Caribbean island of Cuba.
People who have lived through communism, with its alternating bouts of horrors and tedium, say it is one way to deal with such surreal surroundings.

The synchronized swimming competition at the Paris Olympics hasn’t started yet, but we already have a winner.
The gold medal goes to the American media for its flawless unity in drop kicking Joe Biden to the curb and synchronized slobbering over Kamala Harris.
Without missing a beat, the mob that demanded Democrats dump Biden is embracing Harris as his replacement atop the party ticket.
On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) praised President Joe Biden as someone who “has put together the most progressive agenda and accomplishments of any president in modern history.”
While discussing his lack of a formal endorsement of 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris and what commitments he wants from her, Sanders said, “I’m going to do everything I can to defeat Donald Trump, clearly the most dangerous president in our history, somebody who doesn’t believe in democracy, the right of women to control their own bodies.

Once again, the Democrats are offering up a woman candidate for president. And once again it is an unlikeable candidate who owes her career to a far more skillful male politician. In Hillary’s case, it is her husband Bill, a charismatic personality adept at the game. In Harris’ case, it was her lover Willie Brown who boosted her up the ladder and showered her with expensive gifts.When in 2019 Harris ran for president, she was highly promoted by the media but drew little support and dropped out quickly. The Los Angeles Times said she never should have even entered the race.
Former President Donald Trump condemned a rocket attack by Hezbollah on Saturday that killed 12 Israeli Arab children in the Golan Heights, blaming President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their weakness.

If you thought the incompetence and disgrace of the Olympic opening ceremony was limited to grotesque parodies of the Last Supper and strongly suggestive bisexual threesomes, you would be wrong.

A majority of Americans, including a significant number of Democrats, now see Biden’s failing mental health as a national security threat, according to new polling from Rasmussen Reports.
Biden’s address to the nation this week did little to nothing to allay the concerns. Biden did not seem well or even fully engaged, mentally.
This is why there has been an ongoing call for him to step aside from not only his campaign, but the presidency.
