I suggest that before one red cent is sent to the secret service, the secret service needs to start forking over information that Congress has been asking to see for the last three months.

In this case Mike Johnson is right. The original bill that included the SAFE Act would never have passed a Democrat controlled Senate. It would have created drama and little else. Government shutdowns are not the answer. A totally Republican held Congress with a strong leader at the top is. We need to see and understand this clearly and logically and not be ruled by emotions.

More than 700 members of the Deep State — a mixture of high, medium, and low-ranking government officials and staffers — signed a letter endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday, in a move reminiscent of the letter 51 former intelligence officials signed claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. In fact, some of the signatories of the new letter also signed the Hunter Biden laptop letter, such as former Obama CIA Director John Brennan and Air Force Gen. (Ret.) Michael Hayden.Other signatories of the new letter include Trump-haters Alexander Vindman, the former Ukrainian-American National Security Council staffer and retired Army lieutenant colonel who sparked the second impeachment

The mass exodus continues. Former congressional candidate Sammy Ravelo, a Gulf War veteran, 9/11 first responder, and retired NYPD lieutenant, has officially cut ties with the Democrat Party. In recent months, the Democrat Party has witnessed an increasing number of former supporters, like Ravelo, walking away due to the lies and propaganda being fed to the American people. For years, Democrats have claimed they are the party of the people, of unity, and of progress. But Ravelo’s departure lays bare what many Americans already know: it’s all a facade. The Democrat Party isn’t for America, it’s for control — and law-abiding citizens like Ravelo are done playing their game.

The man who authorities say sat with a rifle in the trees where Donald Trump was golfing earlier this month in West Palm Beach, Florida, previously wrote a letter stating “this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump,” according to a new filing Monday by federal prosecutors. In a court hearing, prosecutors also said they plan to charge Ryan Wesley Routh with attempting to assassinate Trump, and a federal magistrate judge ordered Routh to remain detained pending further proceedings. A witness told investigators that Routh had dropped off a box at his home months before, which “contained ammunition, a metal pipe, miscellaneous building materials, tools, four phones, and various letters.”

The gunman who allegedly tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump while he was golfing has been ordered held without bond until his trial. Ryan Wesley Routh appeared in federal court in West Palm Beach, Florida, Monday morning for a three-hour hearing — where Judge Ryon McCabe agreed with prosecutors that Routh should be kept behind bars until his trial for weapons charges. On Monday, prosecutors released a letter in which Routh allegedly admitted he was going to try to kill the 2024 Republican presidential nominee and encouraged others to also attempt to assassinate Trump.

New polling shows Donald Trump leading Kamala Harris in three critical battleground states both candidates have been campaigning heavily in as the race for the White House heads into the final stretch. The New York Times/Siena College poll shows the ex-president's strength in the Sun Belt where he has a sizable lead over the vice president in Arizona and is polling ahead in Georgia and North Carolina among likely voters. Respondents there said Trump improved their lives when he was president and worry a Harris administration would not.

At least 11 meetups took place, six of which turned into violent confrontations with police. The mayhem resulted in the hospitalization of one officer, while five police cars were heavily damaged.

You might think that an attempt to shoot the president – okay, the former president and likely the next one, but you know what I mean – would be a big deal. And you might think that two attempts to shoot him in the space of a couple of months might be an even bigger deal. But you would be wrong. They are no deal at all, and that’s not a good thing. Not at all. We are on a very scary path, and it’s unclear that there is a turn-off we can take that brings us someplace good. What is happening now is unprecedented.

After all the pandering and sanitized statements concerning the war in Gaza, the Democrats’ plan to keep Michigan from falling away might not be working. It’s not a slam dunk, but this mayor’s endorsement is rather damning for the Kamala Harris team, which has worked overtime to keep Muslim Americans from either staying home or, worse, backing Trump. The former was likely the biggest fear, as Arab American voters are incensed over Israel’s justified war of self-defense in the region against Hamas. Yet, in Hamtramck, Michigan, America’s only Muslim-majority city, its Democrat mayor decided to make his 2024 decision public: He’s voting for Trump (via Fox News):

As Democrats revel in Vice President Harris closing the polling gap against former President Trump, speculation is ramping up over who might serve in a potential Harris Cabinet if she prevails in November. Any Cabinet appointee would likely face a razor-thin Democratic-controlled or GOP-controlled Senate, meaning Harris would have to balance partisan realities with her desire to break the mold with her choices, like naming the first woman to head the Pentagon.“I’m sure it will be very diverse. I think it will be a mix of people who have been around Washington for a while in these kinds of roles because she respects that,

Speaking at a recent business summit in West Hollywood, Diller — the mogul who runs the left-wing Daily Beast, among many other media properties — glossed over the many failures of the Biden-Harris administration, including record consumer prices, an unprecedented tidal wave of illegal immigrants, and the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The Secret Service in America not only failed to protect President Trump from nearly getting assassinated on two occasions, but it’s so discombobulated that agents are now shooting themselves. WUSA 9 revealed today that a United States Secret Service (USSS) agent was on duty Saturday evening right before 8 p.m. when he “negligently” discharged his weapon and shot himself. The incident reportedly happened near 32nd and Fessenden Streets in northwest Washington, DC. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment and is expected to recover from his injuries. The Secret Service is not making any further details public at this time as they plan to investigate what happened.
