President Trump was golfing with friends when the second attempt to assassinate him on his Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, FL, took place.
Ryan Wesley Routh was tracked down by police vehicles after he reportedly fled from the scene of the alleged attempt to assassinate President Trump in West Palm Beach, Florida, yesterday. Routh reportedly dropped the AK-47 he used when US Secret Service agents spotted the end of his rifle poking through the tree line and ran to his car, where he jumped in a vehicle and attempted to flee law enforcement.

Late last week, the RNC achieved yet another election integrity victory in Pennsylvania to do with mail ballots. The RNC Election Integrity team achieved a win last month, though a panel with the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court overturned that days later. More recently, however, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court rejected such a challenge, the RNC announced last Friday, voiding the lower court's ruling. "This is a huge win to protect the vote in Pennsylvania that will secure commonsense mail ballot safeguards and help voters cast their ballots with confidence. The Keystone State will be absolutely critical in this election,

The unverified document, said to be a sworn affidavit signed by a notary public on September 9, has sparked controversy as it has spread online.
It alleges that ABC News gave Harris questions ahead of the debate, along with agreeing to preconditions to give her a leg up on former President Donald Trump.

Ahead of the election, Republican lawmakers are raising alarm bells about Texas billionaire John Arnold, who was appointed to Meta’s board earlier this year — warning he could undermine the efforts to keep speech free and open on Facebook ahead of the presidential election.
Arnold, who is worth an estimated $2.9 billion according to Forbes, has spent tens of millions of dollars bankrolling left-wing causes, including bail reform in New York State and George Soros-affiliated organizations that slam “disinformation.”
“John Arnold is a far left radical who funded pro-criminal projects in Indiana and pro-censorship organizations nationwide. His board appointment should make every patriotic American nervous about Big Tech interfering
Kamala Harris senior adviser David Plouffe once called for the extermination of former President Donald Trump and “his kind,” according to a 2016 post on X — another example of Democrats calling for harm against the former president that has been highlighted in the wake of another assassination attempt.
Plouffe, a former adviser to then-President Barack Obama, posted on June 13, 2016, “It is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again.” The Trump campaign highlighted the post in the wake of a second assassination attempt against him on Sunday, which was thwarted

The gunman who allegedly staked out former President Donald Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course with an SKS rifle was able to exploit a security hole that the Secret Service has known about for years.
News photographers — including those hired by The Post — have had no problem repeatedly securing spots around the perimeter of the course to snap pictures of Trump playing golf or driving around in a golf cart.
They have even taken images — which require a clear line of sight to the 45th president — unnoticed through the bushes with telephoto lenses. Some have gotten as close as 75 yards — without so much
It was Groundhog Day during Monday’s edition of ABC’s The View. The staunchly anti-Trump cast once again reacting to an assassination attempt against former President Trump with a mix of claiming political violence came from “both sides,” calls or blaming guns, a call for a crackdown on the First Amendment, and one co-host scoffing at those who dare to suggest that politically motivated violence had no place in America.
Arguably, the worst reaction came from fake Republican and DNC speaker Ana Navarro, who seemed to scoff at the outrage over the political violence directed at her favorite hate object: Trump.

Linda C., a retired deputy sheriff in California, considers herself politically independent.
She voted for former President Donald Trump in 2016 and then for President Joe Biden in 2020. But this year, she feels strongly about supporting the Democratic ticket, largely because of the stances Republicans, including Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance, have taken on childcare.
She was particularly perturbed by Vance's recent suggestion that grandparents and other family members "help out a little bit more" with childrearing to relieve the burden of childcare costs.
Reverend Dr. Jacqui Lewis said on MSNBC’s broadcast of “The Saturday Show” that former President Donald Trump is “exactly like” Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
Host Jonathan Capehart said, “Give me your response to what Donald Trump is doing?”
Lewis said, “It’s outrageous but expected by an authoritarian who wants to take us to Nazi Germany. We exploited racism, fascism to Nazi Germany. We know how to do it.”
She continued, “Let’s not pretend that Donald Trump isn’t exactly like Mussolini, exactly like Hitler, he is that guy. I want to say something to the American people. I live in a neighborhood, Jonathan.
The potato has returned. Brian Stelter is back on the air at CNN and it’s almost like he never left.

He also cheered for the image of Harris speaking at rallies. Has anyone told Brian that the campaign has to bus people in for these events?

The alleged would-be assassin arrested for targeting Donald Trump while he golfed in Florida may have been given inside information about the former president’s schedule, according to an ex-FBI official who called the possibility “scary.”
Chris Swecker, a retired FBI assistant director, told Newsweek that the feds and other law enforcement will be probing how the suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, allegedly appeared to know Trump would be at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Sunday.
“The biggest question to answer is: ‘How did the would-be assassin know to be at that location at that time?'” said Swecker, who worked on FBI criminal investigations.
The U.S. Navy commissioned a new submarine on Saturday, the first vessel in its fleet designed to fully integrate male and female sailors.

A campaign speech by Minnesota first lady Gwen Walz, in which she used a sweeping hand gesture to say "bye bye" and "turn the page" on former President Trump energized a Wisconsin audience, but induced cringes elsewhere.
Gwen Walz was slammed as the "living embodiment of Trump Derangement Syndrome" for a stump speech for her husband, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and Vice President Kamala Harris in Wisconsin on Saturday.
In the speech, Gwen Walz cited Harris’ debate performance last week and how she repeatedly said the election is the time to "turn the page" on the current political climate.
The alleged gunman who authorities said targeted former President Trump while he golfed in Florida Sunday afternoon previously declared on social media that “Democracy is on the ballot” this year, and “we cannot lose” — echoing the anti-Trump rhetoric used by Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden.
Law enforcement sources identified the suspect as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58.
Routh, who has a lengthy criminal record from North Carolina, frequently posted about politics and exclusively donated to Democratic candidates and causes dating back to 2019.
