The second suspect accused of trying to take out former President Donald Trump at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach over the weekend has, so far, only been charged with firearm offenses. 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, of Hawaii, the alleged would-be Trump assassin, was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession and receipt of a firearm with an obliterated serial number, according to a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) press release.

A pathetic loser with little income and no savings somehow travels to Florida, acquires state of the art tools, and knows to show up at the exact place and time where he could knock off Donald Trump. Let's waterboard this guy until we get the whole story.

Those charges are just so they can keep him locked up while the investigation is happening. Additional charges will be filed as more information comes to light. This happened Florida. Expect the book (and the bookcase) to be thrown at him!!

As far as adsassination attempt the evidence I've seen produced so far is compelling but circumstantial. if there is nothing to tie him directly to the evidence there is no case. just being there and fleeing won't hold up.

Just think, if this had happened in Noo Yawk, they would have released him (but only because he is anti Deep State) on his own recognizance. More seriously..... Where did he get the firearm? Did he bring it from Hawaii, or did he get it locally, perhaps from some of his buddies from his NC criminal days? On the other hand, do we want to get conspiratorial, and consider a Deep State source? Hopefully, Desantis' people will figure it out. I would not trust the "FIBbers" or the "SS" on this one. Too much EVIL has happened on their watch already. Suggest Trump adopt the theme song "I'm Still Standing!" Spread the idea.... maybe someone here or in conservative media will come up with a song using the melody, but with lyrics applicable to today's situation.

Fly him back to Hawaii, and open the door half way back and let him out.

Legitimate question... Other than a firearms violation, what charge would apply to someone with a rifle in a public space 400 yards from the former president? I am not sure they really have much here. No shot was fired. Can we really extrapolate from the facts and charge based on assumption... no matter how strong such an assumption would be? This could be problematic.

Colt Gray, the suspected shooter accused of killing four at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, reportedly posted on social media about his plans to carry out a mass shooting over his "frustration with the acceptance of transgender people." Last year, a Discord account that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has linked to the 14-year-old shooting suspect had referenced plans for a future massacre and shared screenshots of firearms, documents obtained by CNN allege. "im committing a mass shooting and im waiting a good 2-3 years," the Discord user wrote.

CNN is working hard to avoid creating trouble for the Democratic Party over Israel’s justified war in Gaza. Hordes of Arab Americans are furious with the Biden-Harris policy in the region; they’ve given the vice president the moniker ‘Killer Kamala.’ In a race that will be decided by razor-thin margins. (snip) Hence, why we have weak sauce and inaccurate headlines like this regarding the gruesome discovery made by Israeli forces over the weekend: the bodies of six hostages were found, including American Hersh Goldberg-Polin. Yet, the network framed his death as if he died in a car accident: “Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin has died, his family says in a statement…”

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s (D) children were not conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF), the Harris-Walz campaign confirmed this week. This comes after Walz claimed multiple times that he owes his two children to IVF. According to The New York Times, “many have assumed” that Walz and his wife, Gwen, relied on IVF to conceive. This includes several prominent news outlets that reported that the couple used IVF. In April, the Tim Walz for Governor campaign office mailed out a fundraising letter in an envelope that said, “My wife and I used IVF to start a family,” the Times pointed out.

Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris has chosen far-left Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her VP pick, snubbing popular Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a moderate Jewish Democrat whose support for Israel in the war against Hamas had ticked off the antisemitic wing of Kamala's party. So Shapiro, at the behest of the Democrat establishment, was officially dumped in favor of a Bernie Sanders-aligned leftist. Here's what Walz believes in, making the 2024 Democrat ticket the most extreme ever assembled in U.S. history:

Imane Khelif has won her first bout after Italian opponent Angela Carini abandoned their bout after 46 seconds - with the Algerian boxer cleared to compete in the women's event amid an eligibility row. Carini was punched twice by Khelif in the opening round of their women's welterweight bout in Paris. The blows appeared to knock off the Italian boxer's chin strap, with the fighter moving over to her corner. Carini returned to the centre of the ring and abandoned the bout, leading to Khelif being declared as the winner.

The Democratic National Convention plans to spend the entire first evening of the event boasting about President Joe Biden’s so-called “accomplishments” and spin his presidency so it appears he’s leaving a “legacy” behind. A source close to the matter told CNN that the event’s programming will focus on celebrating Biden before he turns the “keys over” to Vice President Kamala Harris— the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. The 81-year-old president, who was forced out of the 2024 race a few weeks ago, will give one last primetime address at the convention in Chicago next month.

It keeps getting worse. As the Secret Service stonewalls the media and elected lawmakers regarding the glaring security breaches at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Fox News is reporting that federal agents knew there was a threat to the former president’s life ten minutes before he took the stage. They still allowed him to proceed with the rally and had identified the shooter an hour before the attack because he was spotted with a rangefinder by authorities. Former President Donald Trump barely escaped an assassination attempt on July 13, where a bullet grazed his right ear, missing a fatal headshot by millimeters.

Biden officials are pointing fingers at one another after the president suffered a series of malfunctions Thursday night during his first debate against former President Donald Trump. According to Axios, Biden’s debate was a "DEFCON 1" moment for Democrats— and now his aides are trying to point fingers at one another to blame someone for his train wreck performance. A person in Biden’s inner circle argued that the 81-year-old president was “over prepared” and should have rested the week leading up to the debate.

Late Tuesday Surgeon General Vivek Murthy declared "gun violence" a "public health emergency." The move gives the federal government, and more specifically the Biden administration, more authority to tread on Second Amendment rights. During his confirmation hearing, Murthy said the move to push gun control under the guise of public health was not his focus. In other words, he lied. When Murthy was nominated as surgeon general by former President Barack Obama, his confirmation nearly failed in the U.S. Senate because of his rabid anti-Second Amendment agenda.

Eight years later, having learned nothing from the epic public humiliation she suffered when her fact-free Russiagate hoax collapsed into itself with the Mueller Report, Rachel Maddow is still asserting “election interference.” Hillary Clinton is eager to assist her in her Red Scare propaganda efforts. Ironically, Hillary is now demanding criminal prosecutions for her opponents’ alleged propaganda — and not just foreign state actors, but explicitly “Americans,” presumably private citizens who post loosely defined “misinformation” on social media.

Sky News Arabia quotes sources saying that today’s large-scale pager attack in Lebanon was possible because the Mossad spy agency got hold of Hezbollah’s communication devices before they were handed over to the terror group. The Israeli spy agency placed a quantity of PETN, a highly explosive material, on the batteries of the devices, and detonated them by raising the temperature of the batteries from afar, the source says. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier that some Hezbollah members felt their pagers heating up and disposed of them before the series of explosions that killed at least nine and injured about 2,800 people.
