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.

Uniondale, N.Y. — Former President Donald Trump basked in the adulation of thousands of supporters on Long Island Wednesday night — insisting that recent attempts to kill him had “hardened my resolve” and predicting he would be the first Republican candidate to win New York state in 40 years.
“These encounters with death have not broken my will,” the Republican presidential nominee, 78, told roughly 16,000 fans at the Nassau Coliseum three days after a gunman was found hiding in the bushes of Trump’s namesake Florida golf course as he played a round.
“They have really given me a much bigger and stronger mission. They’ve only hardened my resolve
The city of Springfield, Ohio, has unwittingly become Ground Zero in the political maelstrom of this election, buffeted by the crosswinds of opportunism and the politicization of the press. While the Trump-Vance campaign has been highlighting what may be taking place in this small town the news outlets have been more eager to accuse the campaign of hatefulness and division, rather than looking into the matter. As a result, a surreal battle of will is swirling and the facts are completely lost in the debris.We are in an era in which this country's legacy news media displays an abject lack of regard for their journalistic reputations.
A Secret Service whistleblower has made a bombshell claim about a security lapse at former President Donald Trump's Florida golf course where a would-be assassin was found with an AK-47.
The 78-year-old former president was enjoying a round of golf in West Palm Beach on Sunday, when Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, allegedly stuck the barrel of his weapon through the chain-link fence.
But it was later revealed that agents had spotted Routh prior to the assassination attempt, and Republican Sen. Josh Hawley now says the Secret Service failed to secure the perimeter.
We have a very heartwarming update for you on a story RedState's Nick Arama covered last week about a young Trump super fan who got the surprise of his life when he received a personal letter from his hero. Little Liam, who has a brain disorder, was overwhelmed at receiving the birthday greetings from President and Mrs. Trump. (X Video) If you're not moved by the reaction of that sweet boy, you must be a Democrat.
Here's the text of that letter the former president wrote to Liam:
Donald Trump made an in-studio appearance on the Greg Gutfeld show on FOX News tonight. This is huge because Gutfeld reaches a massive audience. His ratings even eclipse network shows like Colbert and Kimmel on a regular basis.
Plus, the atmosphere is much different on Gutfeld than other FOX News shows. This isn’t like an appearance on Hannity or Laura Ingraham’s show. It’s a fun and laid back environment.
The live audience gave Trump a standing ovation when he was introduced.
From FOX News: Trump’s appearance was taped Wednesday afternoon at FOX News Media’s New York City headquarters before the former president headed to Long Island for a campaign rally.
Former President Donald Trump said Wedesday that when he left the stage last week he thought he had the 'best debate' and didn't challenge the moderators because he 'wanted to be elegant.'
Trump recapped his showdown last Tuesday against Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News' late night show Gutfeld.
While most polls showed that viewers believed Harris had definitively won last week's debate in Philadelphia, Trump admitted he came away from it with a different impression.
Former President Donald Trump revealed that the two assassination attempts on his life “have not broken” his will but have “hardened” his resolve to use his time “on earth to make America great again.”
During his rally from Uniondale, New York, on Wednesday, Trump spoke about how the “encounters with death” had not broken his will but had only made him come out with a “bigger and stronger mission.” Trump added that God had “spared” his life twice now.
Former President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he is planning to visit the city at the center off false migrants-eating pet claims within the next two weeks, as he tries to keep immigration at the heart of the election battle.
His supporters roared as he cracked an off-color joke about visiting Springfield, Ohio, during a rally on Long Island.
'You may never see me again,' he said to the delight of thousands of people packed into the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, who chanted 'Save the cats.'
Arizona Globe journalist Christy Kelly has reported a troubling development following former President Donald Trump’s rally in Tucson, Arizona, last Thursday.
Kelly noted that “as many as 20 people” were affected by these symptoms, all of whom were seated on the left side of the stage.
“Many supporters seated behind Trump onstage went to the ER after the rally with “blurred vision” and “burning” to the eyes. I spoke to several who still have not fully recovered. As many as 20 were affected,” Kelly wrote on X.
The cause of the symptoms remains unknown, and an active investigation is underway.
The FBI and intelligence agencies on Wednesday revealed that Iran has been engaged in online efforts to interfere with U.S. elections by hacking former President Donald Trump’s campaign and attempting to share it with President Joe Biden’s campaign. Before Biden dropped out of the race, Iran sent information taken from the Trump campaign to Biden’s campaign in June and July through unsolicited emails, according to The Hill.
The emails contained non-public information from Trump’s campaign. There is no evidence that the Biden campaign responded to the emails or collaborated with the Iranian hackers.
Within hours of its release, the response to “FIGHTER,” by Breitbart’s own singer/songwriter Jon Kahn, is undeniable as the emotional song has rocketed up the iTunes pop charts into the number 4 slot.
The anthem has cracked the top 10 in all genres on iTunes, currently positioned at number 10.
“FIGHTER” takes a spot on the iTunes charts between Lady Gaga and Teddy Swims. Earlier, Kahn told Breitbart News, “If he can take a bullet, I can write a song. Everybody should find their own method of fighting for what they believe in particularly in times like these.”
President Trump is holding a rally tonight in Uniondale, New York, marking his second major campaign appearance in the state that a Republican hasn’t been competitive in since 1988.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, in May, thousands of voters turned out to see Trump speak in the Bronx. This was despite fears of violence from Democrats, who had a minimal presence at the rally despite 15 or more politicians and groups trying to disrupt the rally with their protest.
Doors to the rally opened at 3 pm ET. Supporters were seen early in the morning lining up over 12 hours early to see President Trump speak at 7 pm:

Hillary Clinton forcefully argued that Vice President Kamala Harris didn't need to clarify her policy positions in interviews and said that the 2024 Democratic candidate was facing a "double standard" from voters and the media.
"She does not have to do it, Kara. I'm going to just cut to the chase," Clinton told journalist and podcast host Kara Swisher on the "On with Kara Swisher" podcast this week.
"In fact, she's put out policies on her campaign website. Anybody who's truly interested can go and read about them. She referenced policies. She actually doesn't just have policies and concepts. She has plans about what to do," Clinton said,

Gas powered stoves in California could now come with a health warning label similar to what you'd find on a pack of cigarettes or other tobacco products, according to a new proposed law in the state. California lawmakers passed a bill at the end of August that would make it illegal to sell a gas stove that is manufactured or sold online on or after Jan. 1, 2025, or sold in a store, "unless the gas stove bears an adhesive label attached in a conspicuous location," according to the text of the bill. Gov. Gavin Newsom has until the end of September to sign the bill into law.

I&I/TIPP Poll 16 replies
Much of the noise coming from the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris last week had to do with a media-driven narrative that Harris “won.” Maybe so. In initial polls after the debate, Harris padded her lead. But will the debate win be enough for the Democrats’ own rank-and-file voters, who believe the party used an undemocratic method to select its nominee?
September’s I&I/TIPP Poll suggests the answer is yes. Start with the fact that the Real Clear Politics polling average puts Harris up just 1.7 percentage points nationally, and a sliver-thin 0.2 percentage points in key battleground states.
BEIRUT - Hand-held radios used by Hezbollah detonated on Wednesday across Lebanon's south and in Beirut's southern suburbs, a security source and a witness said, further stoking tensions with Israel a day after similar explosions launched via the group's pagers.
Three people were killed in Lebanon's Bekaa region, the state news agency reported, and dozens of people were wounded in the latest device blast.
At least one of the blasts took place near a funeral organized by Iran-backed Hezbollah for those killed the previous day when thousands of pagers used by the group exploded across the country and wounded many of the group's fighters.
