I can't recall anyone uttering anything this irresponsible from the White House podium. Ever.
In the first White House presser since the latest attempt on former President Trump's life, Biden Administration spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre shockingly doubled down on vile, anti-Trump rhetoric that arguably led to yet another attempted assassination attempt.
In a jujitsu of what she thinks passes for logic, Karine Jean-Pierre told the White House press corps that Trump was a threat to democracy. When Fox News White House reporter Peter Doocy challenged her, KJP told Doocy that his question was "dangerous."

Vice-president Kamala Harris has signalled her openness to the idea of reparations for black people, saying she would not rule out executive action if she wins the White House in November.
Speaking to the National Association of Black Journalists on Tuesday, Harris was asked about her position on the issue, which is typically confined to Black Lives Matter activists and far-left radicals.
“Do you have a position on whether that [reparations] should happen — this [reparations] commission should happen through executive order or via Congress?” she was asked by Politico’s Eugene Daniels.
Harris responded:
I think Congress ultimately will have the ability to do this work.
Senators Chuck Grassley (IA) and Ron Johnson (WI) uncovered more Biden-Harris lawfare election interference.
Last month, with just 90 days to go until Election Day, The Washington Post revealed new details about a previously unknown federal probe into whether Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi attempted to funnel $10 million into Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
This investigation, which remained undisclosed for over three years, aimed to determine if a $10 million donation made by Trump to his campaign shortly before the election was actually financed by the Egyptian government.
This is the same agency that ignored the Biden crime family.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, was stumped Tuesday when asked by a reporter to explain what he and Vice President Kamala Harris would do for families struggling financially.
In an interview with local Macon, Georgia, CBS affiliate WMAZ, Walz first said that he and Harris understood the problem because they are “middle class.” (X Video) He then offered a series of her proposals unrelated to inflation:
I tell them Kamala Harris and I know something about it being middle-class folks. Our family sit at the table trying to pay the bill. We know coming out of the COVID pandemic
Furious tech workers at the New York Times are threatening to strike on Election Day unless bosses meet their lengthy list of outlandish demands.
Requests from the union members include a four-day work week for increased pay, unlimited sick leave and paid time off for pet bereavements, Semafor reports.
Employees are also demanding trigger warnings around discussions of the news, banning scented products in break rooms and well as job security for foreign employees on visas in the event of layoffs.
Being president is a 'dangerous job,' Donald Trump told a Michigan crowd of supporters Tuesday night, telling cheering supporters the attempt on his life only proved he mattered.
'You know, only consequential presidents get shot at,' Trump said at a town hall in Flint where he spoke at length about the dramatic incident.
It was one of several light-hearted comments he sprinkled into his remarks, while pointing to the danger that comes with his public profile. After a pair of assassination attempts, he compared the job to high risk occupations like race car driver and bullfighter.
Flint — Republican Donald Trump told a crowd in Flint Tuesday that Michigan had become an "afterthought" in the auto industry and that "only consequential presidents get shot at," two days after a man apparently attempted to assassinate the former president on a golf course in Florida.
Trump made the comment about the shootings at the beginning of a town hall inside inside Dort Financial Center, a venue that's traditionally home to a hockey team. He was detailing his plan to place tariffs on vehicles built by Chinese manufacturers in Mexico.
"You wonder why I get shot at, right?" Trump asked. "Only consequential presidents get shot at."
ABC News’ David Muir seems to have suffered some consequences regarding his appalling stint as debate moderator for the network’s presidential debate on September 10.

Washington—White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to say Tuesday whether President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris support Donald Trump’s call to end federal income taxes on overtime pay — despite previously backing his plan to end taxes on tips.
Jean-Pierre said it wasn’t possible to address the potential policy because the Republican ex-president pitched the idea as part of his campaign to reclaim the White House — even though Biden, Harris and Jean-Pierre got behind Trump’s “no tax on tips” proposal without acknowledging its source.
“The question that you’re asking me — supporting overtime pay, this is something, a proposal in the 2024 election so I’m going to be really,
We actually have two questions that require answers in the wake of Sunday's assassination attempt on Donald Trump by a (well-)"known wolf". The first question: Why didn't federal security and intel agencies take Ryan Wesley Routh seriously? He had a decades-long track record of criminal activity, and numerous people tried to warn the FBI, Homeland Security, and the State Department of his dangerous nature.
We may wait a long time for a satisfactory explanation for that question. Thanks to Tanya Lukyanova, however, we have a good answer to the second question: Why did American media outlets take Routh seriously?
In his opening monologue for Monday’s eponymous show, his first since the second assassination attempt on former President Trump, NewsNation host Chris Cuomo voiced his disgust and frustration with how many in the media and in the country were reacting to it. While he didn’t like that Trump had called Democrats a threat to democracy, he was “ashamed” of those who were being flippant, mocking, and lacking empathy. He even disclosed that he made a personal call to Trump to check in on him.
Cuomo explained that he had gone through several drafts for his opening monologue but “it wasn't even landing right with me. So, I called former President Trump.”

Though we knew at some point it was coming, the last thing people were thinking about in the immediate aftermath of the first assassination attempt on GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump on July 13th was who he would pick as his vice presidential running mate.But make it he would have to do and soon, considering the Republican National Convention was the following week.
Many names had been bandied about ahead of Trump's eventual announcement, including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.
But on Day One of the RNC,
In a press conference on Tuesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) appeared in a press conference to detail why his state would take the lead on the investigation into the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
To recap, on Sunday, United States Secret Service discovered that an armed man was hiding in the bushes at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. An agent noticed the muzzle of a rifle in the shrubs, the Associated Press noted, and fired at the gunman. The suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, fled the scene but was later tracked down and arrested. The FBI confirmed that Trump was the target.

A top election official in Arizona said he would file a suit Tuesday that could bar almost 100,000 residents from voting in state and local races this fall, claiming they have not provided citizenship documents required under state law.

Such documents are not required for Arizona residents to register to vote or cast a ballot in federal elections.

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.
Today is Constitution Day, commemorating the day in 1787 when the Founding Fathers signed that historic and precious document, the foundation of our constitutional republic.
America has come a long way since the 18th century, and while we have a great many feats of heroism and genius to reflect on with pride, we are also in grave danger of torching the Constitution altogether and destroying the republic our forefathers fought so hard to found. Founder Benjamin Franklin told a woman who asked what form of government the Constitutional Convention had decided on, “A republic, if you can keep it.”
We've learned quite a bit of information about the latest Trump assassination attempt since Sunday — both about the incident itself and the suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh.
According to officials from the FBI, Secret Service, and Palm Beach Sheriff's Office, Routh was charged with firearm offenses but not yet with crimes related to the assassination attempt. In 2019, the FBI received a tip about Routh illegally possessing a firearm, but authorities didn't take action after the tip was deemed unverified.
Routh is a convicted felon with an extensive rap sheet that includes a 2002 conviction for possessing a weapon of mass destruction. I wonder if we'll hear more about that one day.
Remember that time Congress spent trillions of dollars we didn't have to provide relief from the unnecessary and illegal lockdowns? And then actual Americans only received a pittance while the resulting inflation murdered our paychecks after we were mercifully allowed to eventually go back to work?
Yeah, it's so much worse than that, according to Subcommittee on Government Operations and the Federal Workforce Chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas). While the name of Sessions's subcommittee is a mouthful, what they've uncovered has got to be the biggest theft in the history of — well, everything.
Sessions said the theft adds up to "Half a trillion dollars. Maybe more.
A poll released by the University of Chicago via the Chicago Project on Security and Threats offers a chilling account of the growing radicalism in America, particularly after the second foiled assassination attempt of former president Donald Trump, the poll found that 26 million Americans believe “the use of force” is justified to keep Trump from regaining the presidency.

A conservative watchdog group launched a Freedom of Information Act probe against the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) seeking documents relating to the situation that has left two U.S. astronauts at the International Space Station (ISS) for several more months.

The filing by Mike Howell, head of the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project, also demands outgoing emails to Harris’ presidential campaign.

Twice in one summer now, a Democrat with a long gun was able to get within a few hundred yards of former President Trump. You gotta hand it to the Left, they're nothing if not creative. What used to be the October Surprise came to be the tedious October Expected Non-Surprise. So they've introduced the First July Surprise (assassination attempt), the Second July Surprise (palace coup against their own president), and the September Surprise (second assassination attempt). From this pattern, Kamala better hope her poll numbers hold steady lest she find herself "surprised" into a Barco lounger watching Matlock next to a creepy hair sniffer.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday called for Americans to be “criminally charged” if they engage in speech that sounds like Russian propaganda.
“I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda, and whether they should be civilly or even in some cases, criminally charged, is something that would be a better deterrence,” she told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow in an interview.Maddow brought up recent actions taken by the Biden-Harris Justice and State Departments against Russians who were allegedly pushing pro-Russian propaganda
What a past few days I’ve had. It has been a whirlwind!
On Friday of last week, I was honored to be chosen by President Trump to open his Las Vegas rally in front of 6,000+ patriots and Trump warriors.
Then on Saturday, I was honored and blessed to enjoy my 16thinterview with President Trump. This one was special- it was my first-ever, exclusive, face-to-face TV interview, at President Trump’s hotel suite at Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.
I’ll write about the interview later this week. First, I’d like to share what I said and learned at the large Trump rally. Like President Trump, I like to test out
We're counting down to the election now and everyone is looking at the polls, focus groups, and the potential signs.
But I'll hand it to CBS: they're actually sending people out into the field to talk with people, and they're coming back with reactions that may fly in the face of some of the polls. As we reported five days ago, they sent Major Garrett out into the field in Michigan, and he came back with the report that the support for former President Donald Trump was "real and resilient." That was just as a local Detroit News poll and an Insider Advantage survey were putting Trump ahead.
Steve Benen, a former blogger for the Washington Monthly and current producer and contributor to "The Rachel Maddow Show," thinks the Mar-a-Largo would-be assassin was justified in wanting to take a shot at former president Donald Trump.
Or, in Benen's words, "the alleged would-be shooter." Benen is complaining that Donald Trump is blaming Democrats for using violent rhetoric that motivated Routh to try to kill the former president.
But Routh is right, claims Benen. Trump is, indeed, a "threat to democracy." [Tweet]
First of all, it takes a special kind of moral blindness to excuse a would-be presidential assassin.
You always hear it after a bear or lion eats a person – they say they have to kill the animal because it now has a taste for humans and won’t stop. This always struck me as odd, even funny, as though we humans are so delicious that one taste of us is so euphoric that they couldn’t possibly go back to salmon, elk or whatever.
That is, of course, not really the reason the animals have changed, the story goes. It’s that the fear of humans – their desire to avoid us because we’re strange to them – is gone, and now they will associate us with food.
Do you plan to vote this November? You’re not alone. Experts say somewhere between 1.5 million and 2.7 million illegal immigrants are likely to cast a ballot in the 2024 elections, “A 2014 academic journal found that 6.4% of noncitizens voted in 2008,” Kerri Toloczko, executive director of Election Integrity Network and senior advisor to the Only Citizens Vote Coalition, told The Washington Stand. “There are about 24 million noncitizens in the U.S. right now. If they voted only at the same rate of 6.4% this year as they did in 2008, they would account for 1.5 million votes.”
The Times of Israel is liveblogging Tuesday’s events as they unfold. Lebanon’s health minister says eight were killed and some 2,800 were wounded, including 200 seriously, in the pager blasts in Lebanon. Hezbollah has said that two members are among the dead. A young girl, the daughter of a Hezbollah member, was also reported killed after a pager exploded in her parents’ home. Health Minister Firas Abiad says hospitals continue to receive the wounded and that most injuries are in the hand and face. Meanwhile, a large Red Cross convoy is on its way to southern Lebanon, according to Al Arabiya.
Former Navy SEAL and founder of the private military company Blackwater, Erik Prince, joined Natalie Winters on The War Room on Tuesday to discuss the second unsuccessful assassination attempt against President Donald Trump in two months. During their discussion Erik Prince pointed out the odd coincidence that both Trump failed assassins, Thomas Crooks and Ryan Wesley Routh, were both featured in a BlackRock commercial. Prince told Natalie Winters, “There’s some indication that shows both the Butler shooter and yesterday’s shooter both appeared in BlackRock TV commercials. The statistical likelihood of that being random is impossible.”
Since Sunday's second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, Democrats and the legacy media have been on overdrive in their efforts to blame Trump himself for the incident. One way or another, they must find a way to hang the threat of violence against Trump around his own neck, even if that means twisting logic into an unrecognizable pretzel and dispending with any effort at consistency.
Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), had his hands full Sunday (prior to the attempt), making the rounds on the Sunday shows
When FBI Special Agent Jeffrey Veltri addressed a room of reporters Sunday, he presented himself as a disinterested investigator in the second attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life. But Veltri was known at the FBI to be “adamantly and vocally anti-Trump,” according to a whistleblower account reported by The Washington Times. (snip) “It was well known that Veltri was adamantly and vocally anti-Trump,” the whistleblower said in a disclosure, reported by the Times.
FBI Director Christopher Wray, Deputy Director Paul Abbate, and Executive Assistant Director of Human Resources Jennifer Moore were all allegedly involved in telling Veltri to whitewash his online posts.
Three guesses, and the first two don't count.
After finding out about Ryan Wesley Routh's colorful history over the last 36 hours, one had to wonder how he'd managed to stay off the radar of the FBI, Homeland Security, and the State Department. Routh had multiple felony convictions involving firearms, had traveled to Ukraine on multiple occasions to join their foreign legion, and had even gotten attention from the media for his extremism.
How could the feds not know about him? Well, it turns out that they did. The Wall Street Journal reported last night that several people tried to warn federal authorities that Routh was
Former President Donald Trump said that he wanted to end the was between Russia and Ukraine as President-elect — even before he takes office — though he did not say how he intended to do so, given laws barring private diplomacy.
Trump made the comment during an interview on X (formerly Twitter) “Spaces” with cryptocurrency enthusiast Farokh Sarmad — the first interview the former president has granted since escaping a second assassination attempt the day before at his Florida golf club.
Democrats smeared Trump as a Russian puppet, yet Russian President Vladimir Putin did not invade any countries while Trump was president.

The alligator emojis are all giddy claiming Top Gov DeSantis, has kicked the feds out of Florida and taken custody of Ryan Wesley Routh. Apparently, the rumors of Ron DeSantis starting a state-level independent investigation has led the DeSantis supporters to believe Ron is doing something. However, there’s no truth to any of it.
FACTS: Asked in a press conference today about the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump, the Florida governor told the media he had not talked to President Trump; however, he did expect an announcement to be “forthcoming” that Florida will investigate the events of the assassination attempt. The announcement will come sometime later on.
Reports from Arab and Israeli media have said that over 1,200 people have been wounded.

"President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country.”
That was ABC News’ David Muir “fact checking” Donald Trump during his debate with Kamala Harris.
Two days later, the Bureau of Justice Statistics released the results of its national crime victimization survey, which showed that the number of victims of violent crime was 41% higher in 2023 than in 2020.
There were almost 170,000 more rapes, 300,000 more robberies, 1.4 million more assaults, 300,000 more claims of domestic violence, and almost 400,000 more crimes with a violent weapon.
Democrats have complete control of the state government in Colorado. The last Republican governor left office in 2007. The last time Republicans controlled one of the legislature's two chambers was 2019, and Democrats currently hold a supermajority in both the House and the Senate. Over the past decade, Democrats have enacted a number of new gun control laws, including "universal" background checks, a ban on "large capacity" magazines, and a "red flag" law, as well as repealing firearms preemption and allowing localities to pass their own measures more restrictive than state law. So how's that working out for the state?
“When somebody does a bad job, I fire them,” said former President Donald Trump during his recent debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.
On the other hand, “They never fired one person. They didn't fire anybody having to do with Afghanistan,” Trump said, referring to the Biden-Harris administration. “Look at the economy. Look at the inflation. They didn't fire any of their economists. They have the same people.” Although Trump’s comment about the Biden-Harris administration’s propensity to not fire incompetent officials who have screwed up royally over the past four years did not garner the attention it rightfully deserves, it certainly struck a chord with me and many more Americans.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released its latest statistics Monday, showing nearly 530,000 migrants flew into the U.S. and were paroled into the country as part of the Biden administration’s controversial mass parole program for those migrating from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (CHNV). The August report includes data after the Department of Homeland Security resumed processing new Advance Travel Authorizations (ATAs) in the parole process for the CHNV program.
Ahead of the second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, many influential actors, journalists, and influencers warned that Trump is an “existential threat” to democracy, compared him to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, and suggested he or his supporters should face violent attacks. Some continued attacking Trump even after the first assassination attempt July 13.
The New Tolerance Campaign, a nonprofit watchdog aimed at confronting “intolerance double standards” practiced by “establishment institutions, civil rights groups, universities, and socially conscious brands,” compiled a list of extreme rhetoric against Trump that may have contributed to the second assassination attempt.
During a Monday CNBC interview, Trump transition chairman Howard Lutnick expertly explained how President Trump plans to use tariffs to protect American industries, attract investment to the United States, and secure more favorable trade deals from other countries. CNBC host Becky Quick described Lutnick's explanation as one of the "best explanations" she's heard on the topic. "When you talk to the former president about tariffs, do you see it as a bargaining chip, or do you think you're going to see tariffs across the board at 20 percent?" Joe Kernan asked the billionaire businessman.

[T]he UK government announced that it is imposing an "immediate" weapons embargo against Israel. The statement followed almost a year of relentless attacks on Israel, not only by Iran's proxies -- Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis -- but by Iran itself, and probably several tons of unverified propaganda by Hamas that Israel is supposedly committing "war crimes."
Even South Africa is seeking to extend the deadline for presenting evidence against Israel at the International Court of Justice, for lack of evidence of its allegations of genocide. So far, all evidence points to Israel being "the world's most moral army." Meanwhile, the same cannot be said for the entities attacking it.

Anyone who works in media knows it's a race against time to find the social-media content of anyone involved in a high-profile crime. Whether it's a school shooter or a political assassin like Ryan Routh, social media companies immediately lock down the accounts and hide them from the public. Yesterday, just minutes after Routh's name began circulating, his X and Facebook accounts were disabled.
Fortunately, some quick-thinking individuals were able to access the social media posts before they were memory-holed, so we now know that Routh hated Trump and had extreme left-wing political views.

CNN’s Dana Bash on Monday claimed that former President Donald Trump’s attempted assassination suspect Ryan Wesley Routh’s anti-Trump social media posts have no relation to Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden.
Trump accused Harris and Biden in a Monday Fox News Digital interview of espousing “rhetoric” that he claimed is contributing to the attempts on his life. Bash, on “CNN Newsroom with Wolf Blitzer,” noted that both Harris and Biden have said they are grateful Trump was unscathed after the second attempt and dismissed any suggestion that they influenced Routh, despite his posts, including one mirroring their repeated claim that “democracy is on the ballot,” according to reports.
Former President Donald Trump said, “There’s something going on, perhaps it’s God,” one day after surviving a second assassination attempt within the span of two months.
“There’s something going on, perhaps it’s God wanting me to be president to save this country,” Trump quipped in a Monday night X Space. “Nobody knows.” (X) Trump then recalled the first assassination attempt against him, saying, “When I made the right turn, it’s very unusual because the people weren’t on the right, the people who were standing out in front of me. When I turned my head at an exact 90 degree angle, the bullet came zooming by and clipped my ear.”
NAACP Poll Is Brutal for Kamala

The tweet from The Hill sounded ominous: an NAACP poll showed that black voters are more enthused to vote in 2024 than in 2008. However, it only takes about three seconds to know that’s facially untrue. Kamala Harris isn’t Barack Obama. Harris isn’t leading in the battleground polls since we know the Trump vote is underestimated—she’s nowhere near where she needs to be to offset that polling conundrum.
