Alejandro Mayorkas continues to defend the incompetence of his Secret Service Secretary, Kimberly Cheatle.
The world has lost a terrible and stupid career politician. That means the media will spend the entire week celebrating her worthless ass. We need to talk about this.
And just because one can sing doesn’t mean one is a good person. Let’s talk about Barbara Streisand.
She Should Just Resign

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been called to account for a number of apparent security failures that led to an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump last Saturday – and while he has made no move thus far to answer those questions, he did take time on Saturday to issue a memo demanding people stop criticizing female agents.
In the memo, Mayorkas complained about the “baseless and insulting” suggestions that perhaps the Secret Service should not have put women on Trump’s security detail at the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally.
This dumbass questioned at the mall isn’t the only one who said something like this. Barbara Streisand, the has-been singer, also made a comment. She thinks Trump deserved it because he said things she didn’t like.
According to Breitbart:
Less than a week after a would-be assassin tried to kill former President Donald Trump, Hollywood star Barbra Streisand is pushing a bizarre claim that Trump brought this on himself because he is a “bully.”
Barbra Streisand floated her cockeyed karmic theory in an X post this week, asserting that the would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was frequently bulled at school and was therefore motivated to kill ‘bully” Trump.
“Thomas Matthew Crooks was a registered Republican but as it has been reported he was bullied a lot in school. Trump has always been branded to be a bully. Maybe that’s what motivated him,” Streisand said.
So why do I point these two dumbasses out? Because there is no center ground with these people. They think murder is completely justified because Trump leans right and they would wish the same thing on anyone who is vocal and they disagree with.
Trump was right. These people are after anyone they disagree with to the point they don’t want us to exist anymore. That is what Trump meant when he said we have to fight.
Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat from Texas who was a leading voice for racial justice and progressive causes during three decades in the House, died on Friday in Houston. She was 74.
Her death was announced in a statement by her family that did not list a cause. She said in June that she had pancreatic cancer.
“By God’s grace, I will be back at full strength soon,” she told constituents at the time.
Ms. Jackson Lee was the author and lead sponsor of the legislation that in 2021 established Juneteenth — commemorating the day in 1865 when the last slaves in Texas finally learned of their freedom — as the first new federal holiday in 38 years.
“I thought it was extremely important,” she said on CNN in 2022 “to pass a federal holiday that would give America a moment to be able to reflect not just on the jubilation of freedom, but also the brutality of slavery and what it meant to human beings.”
That’s pretty much all she did while she was in Congress. Oh, yeah, and she was a racial grifter.
Continuing:
A former member of the Houston City Council who was elected to Congress in 1994, Representative Jackson Lee was an irrepressible presence from the start, relentlessly lobbying senior members for speaking time and almost always getting her way.
To critics, she would say that she was just serving her constituents.
“You have an obligation to make sure that their concerns are heard, are answered,” she said in a 1999 interview with The New York Times. “I need to make a difference. I don’t have wealth to write a check. But maybe I can be a voice arguing consistently for change.”
So she was in Congress for 30 years and the only thing she did was make Juneteenth a holiday. Jeez, we need term limits.
Continuing:
During her congressional career, Representative Jackson Lee served as chairwoman of the Judiciary Subcommittee for Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security, and as a senior member of the Judiciary, Homeland Security and Budget committees.
“Always fearless, she spoke truth to power and represented the power of the people of her district in Houston with dignity and grace,” President Biden said in a statement issued on Saturday.
The Congressional Black Caucus called Representative Jackson Lee “a fierce advocate for social and economic justice, national and homeland security, energy independence, and children and working families” in a statement released late Friday.
In other words, she was a peddler in racial grievance.
I’m done with this syrupy article about a career useless person.
The article failed to mention a couple of things. First, she was abusive to her staff. Brutally abusive. She was known to cuss them out for not doing what she wanted or making mistakes. Here is a leaked audio. I just want you to imagine if a Republican did this:
Apparently this wasn’t a one-off. She got sued over crap like this.
She was also a big gun control advocate. Here’s a problem. She knew nothing about guns. Here she is, talking about why AR-15s need to be banned:
This is the reasoning from a person trying to take away your Second Amendment rights.
But, more so, she’s just stupid. Here she is discussing the mood during last year’s solar eclipse:
Why am I making such a big stink about someone who just died? Because she’s a bad, stupid person and everyone is celebrating her worthless life. I don’t care who you are or whether you’re alive or dead, if you’re a bad person, you’re a bad person and attitude should change just because that person has died.
As far as I’m concerned, the world is a better place without her.
Joe Biden is out. Get ready for all hell to break loose.
He’s Done
Joe Biden has decided not to run for President. He released a statement from Delaware. The statement was written on his own stationary and was released on X. He did not have a press conference and is not expected to until Tuesday and Wednesday. Kind of makes you wonder, right?
Here’s the statement:
Some things:
The lies continue. The country is not in great shape and they had no big victories.
Our standing around the world has weakened. Hell, there are two wars with a third brewing in the far east.
Why is it in the “best interest of the country”? If things are going so great, wouldn’t it be the best thing for the country to stay in?
He should have been speaking to the country on Sunday. Not through a letter posted on X.
Other things:
His campaign was completely surprised by this.
As of four hours before the announcement, people believed he was going to stay in.
Notice something is missing from his praise of Kamala Harris? No endorsement.
He later released another tweet on X.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
So, I guess Biden’s handlers just forgot about that little tidbit. We will get into Kamala Harris running for President in a second because it seems this is going to be a little more complicated
Kamala also released a statement:
This is going to be the BS we will be hearing for the next three months. Biden was not a good President, he is not a nice guy, he is not running the country and he’s senile. Kamala Harris is Brutus waiting to knife Caesar in the groin without being caught.
Trump’s Response
Speaking of Brutus…
The Obamas also released a statement:
“Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded — again — that he’s a patriot of the highest order.
“Sixteen years ago, when I began my search for a vice president, I knew about Joe’s remarkable career in public service. But what I came to admire even more was his character — his deep empathy and hard-earned resilience; his fundamental decency and belief that everyone counts.
“Since taking office, President Biden has displayed that character again and again. He helped end the pandemic, created millions of jobs, lowered the cost of prescription drugs, passed the first major piece of gun safety legislation in 30 years, made the biggest investment to address climate change in history, and fought to ensure the rights of working people to organize for fair wages and benefits. Internationally, he restored America’s standing in the world, revitalized NATO, and mobilized the world to stand up against Russian aggression in Ukraine. More than that, President Biden pointed us away from the four years of chaos, falsehood, and division that had characterized Donald Trump’s administration.
A lot of bullshit.
“For him to look at the political landscape and decide that he should pass the torch to a new nominee is surely one of the toughest in his life. But I know he wouldn’t make this decision unless he believed it was right for America. It’s a testament to Joe Biden’s love of country — and a historic example of a genuine public servant once again putting the interests of the American people ahead of his own that future generations of leaders will do well to follow.
“We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges. I believe that Joe Biden’s vision of a generous, prosperous, and united America that provides opportunity for everyone will be on full display at the Democratic Convention in August.
“And I expect that every single one of us are prepared to carry that message of hope and progress forward into November and beyond. For now, Michelle and I just want to express our love and gratitude to Joe and Jill for leading us so ably and courageously during these perilous times — and for their commitment to the ideals of freedom and equality that this country was founded on.”
Notice something is missing? His support for Kamala Harris. In fact, it sounds like he is expecting an open convention.
I never want to hear anything from the Democrats and media about Democracy being under threat again. We’ll get more into that later.
Clinton’s Statement
According to the New York Times:
Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton posted a statement on social media on Sunday afternoon endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to take President Biden’s place as the party’s nominee for November.
“We are honored to join the President in endorsing Vice President Harris and will do whatever we can to support her,” they wrote in the statement, which was posted within 90 minutes of Mr. Biden announcing that he would leave the race and back Ms. Harris as his replacement in the race against former President Donald J. Trump.
“We’ve lived through many ups and downs,” the Clintons said, “but nothing has made us more worried for our country than the threat posed by a second Trump term.”
The statement concluded, “Now is the time to support Kamala Harris and fight with everything we’ve got to elect her. America’s future depends on it.”
Well, at least we know Hilary is not running again. They decided to support Kamala. Or is she? The plot thickens.
Yeah, white people made Joe Biden senile. These guys are going to go insane over the next few days until the Democrats come up with some narrative.
Time for Some Analysis
I have some thoughts:
The Democratic party used Joe Biden because people liked him and then shivved him in the back when everyone figured out what was going on.
There was some deal made with Biden. I’m sure he just made a ton of money, got his beautiful Presidential library and will have an airport named after him. Money and prestige are all that prideful piece of shit is interested in.
Biden will speak this week because he must to maintain the presidency for the next six months, but don’t expect two words from him after that.
Democrats and the media will have to keep saying how great Biden was because they want a candidate that will do exactly what he did. Someone to control. Trump is going to run on Biden’s policies, not his senility. Every other Democrat is going to will do exactly what Biden did. This is why I don’t think Republicans should focus on his incompetence.
Who will be the next Democratic candidate? Who knows.
Kamala has to be in the lead. The campaign money cannot be legally transferred. Court cases will happen, but I do not think those cases can come fast enough. She was also part of the ticket that won the primary.
Hilary? Doubt it. She hasn’t developed a personality since 2016.
Bernie? He was popular in 2020. I could see him jumping in if the cards are laid correctly.
AOC? She’s stupid and crazy. I can see her throwing her hat in the ring.
Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmore? No. Those two are not going to want to get in the middle of this mess especially since their policies mimic Biden’s policies. Not to mention, their states are a mess.
Josh Shapiro. Doubt it. He’s a Jewish, moderate democrat. The Left would eat him alive.
Finally, what about Michelle Obama? She is the most viable person, but I doubt it. She hates politics and is living a pretty good life now. It just depends who wears the pants in the Obama household.
All this depends if the Dems are going to have an open convention.
What about Hunter?
He will be pardoned by his father. Joe can’t rely on Dems winning the Presidency.
Hunter’s corruption will not be forgotten. It is the same corruption that every other Dem has been embracing.
Joe Biden Might be done. I’ll give you my thoughts.
More information comes out about the Trump assassination attempt.
And it doesn’t sound like any of this political violence is over yet.
It’s Not Over
According to the Daily Wire:
A man wearing a ski mask who was armed with an AK-47 was arrested near the Republican National Convention this week as he approached the perimeter of the event, police revealed in a statement Tuesday evening.
Homeland Security Investigators and Capitol Police were surveilling the area on Monday, which comes just days after former President Donald Trump was shot during an assassination attempt, when they noticed a suspicious man approaching, Fox News reported.
The man was carrying a tactical bag that had an AK-47 and ammunition inside, the report said. It’s not clear what he was planning to do.
“Milwaukee Police arrested a 21-year-old man for carrying a concealed weapon on July 15, 2024, at approximately 1:00 p.m., on the 1200 block of N. 11th Street,” the Milwaukee Police Department said in a statement. “United States Capitol Police initially observed the suspect looking suspicious, wearing a ski mask and a large tactical backpack in the street.”
“United States Capitol Police performed a subject stop, and it was determined that the suspect was concealing a firearm in his backpack,” the statement added. “The suspect does not have a legal CCW permit in Wisconsin or any other state. The suspect was arrested, and charges are pending review by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office.”
In an interview with the LA Times on Wednesday, Rep. Adam Schiff, who is running for the late Senator Dianne Feinstein’s seat, called for Biden to “pass the torch” and drop out of the presidential race.
Schiff told the outlet he had “serious concerns” over whether Biden could beat Trump come November, adding that despite this, Biden “has been one of the most consequential presidents in our nation’s history, and his lifetime of service as a Senator, a Vice President, and now as President has made our country better.”
“But our nation is at a crossroads,” he said. “A second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and I have serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November.”
He said that the “choice to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden’s alone,” but Schiff said he believed it’s time “to pass the torch” and “secure his legacy of leadership” by stepping aside. Schiff’s call for Biden to step down joins calls from other Democrat politicians and pundits for Biden to leave the race following his dismal debate performance.
Schiff said he would support whoever takes the Democratic nomination, including Biden, stating, “I will do everything I can to help them succeed. There is only one singular goal: defeating Donald Trump. The stakes are just too high.”
President Joe Biden is reportedly planning to push major changes to the Supreme Court after years of lobbing attacks against the court and flouting its authority.
Biden is planning to endorse an effort to establish term limits for Supreme Court, as well as enact an enforceable code of ethics for justices, according to The Washington Post. The effort may include other changes, as well as a push for a constitutional amendment that would strike broad immunity for constitutional officeholders, such as Supreme Court justices, the president, and others.
The left flank of the Democratic Party has pressured the president to crack down on the Supreme Court for years, particularly after the court overturned Roe v. Wade and then recently ruled that presidents have immunity from prosecution for exercising core constitutional powers. Biden outlined his plans in a call over the weekend with the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
“I’m going to need your help on the Supreme Court, because I’m about to come out — I don’t want to prematurely announce it — but I’m about to come out with a major initiative on limiting the court … I’ve been working with constitutional scholars for the last three months, and I need some help,” Biden told the caucus, according to a transcript obtained by The Washington Post.
The feasibility of Biden’s proposed changes is unclear. The changes would likely need congressional approval, a dubious bet with Republicans in control of the House of Representatives, though only by a thin margin.
A staffer gave the 81-year-old president a note card with tips as he attempted to persuade members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus on Saturday that he was fit to serve and able to defeat former President Donald Trump on Election Day, the New York Times reported.
“Stay positive, you are sounding defensive,” Biden said on the call, seemingly reading directly from his staffer’s short missive.
One lawmaker told the New York Times that the moment represented how “stage-managed” calls between the president and lawmakers concerned about his re-election chances have seemed.
Biden has long been known to rely on note cards for press conferences, summits and private fundraisers, instructing him where to sit, what to do and who people are.
Still, the lawmaker also interpreted the moment as the president “poking fun at his aides” rather than accidentally reading the private memo.
California became the first U.S. state to bar school districts from requiring staff to notify parents of their child’s gender identification change under a law signed Monday by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The law bans school rules requiring teachers and other staff to disclose a student’s gender identity or sexual orientation to any other person without the child’s permission. Proponents of the legislation say it will help protect LGBTQ+ students who live in unwelcoming households. But opponents say it will hinder schools’ ability to be more transparent with parents.
The legislation comes amid a nationwide debate over local school districts and the rights of parents and LGBTQ+ students.
“This law helps keep children safe while protecting the critical role of parents,” Brandon Richards, a spokesperson for Newsom, said in a statement. “It protects the child-parent relationship by preventing politicians and school staff from inappropriately intervening in family matters and attempting to control if, when, and how families have deeply personal conversations.”
Actually, it does the opposite.
In other news concerning this subject, Elon Musk has had enough. He stated that he was taking Space X out of California.
The jury in the federal corruption trial of Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and two of his business associates, Fred Daibes and Wael Hana, found Menendez guilty on all charges after a grueling nine-week complex trial in Manhattan.
Menendez pleaded not guilty to federal charges that he accepted an array of bribes in exchange for helping foreign governments. Jurors deliberated for three days. The conviction on all 16 counts against him exposes Menendez to a sentence of more than 200 years in prison, though such a heavy sentence is unlikely.
The judge scheduled the senator’s sentencing date for Oct. 29.
What did he do?
During the trial, prosecutors used cited emails and text messages from Menendez – as well as FBI testimony – to present evidence they argued shows the senator accepted extravagant gifts from foreign governments. The gifts totaled more than $100,000 worth of gold bars, in addition to hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash stuffed throughout Menendez’s New Jersey home.
In March, an 18-page indictment was wrapped into Menendez’s existing charges already against him and his co-defendants — including his wife, Nadine — for allegedly acting as a foreign agent and accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to benefit the Egyptian government through his power and influence as a senator.
The indictment came after co-defendant Jose Uribe – who allegedly gifted Nadine a Mercedes convertible – accepted a plea deal and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. The charges also alleged Menendez committed conspiracy, bribery, acting as a foreign agent, extortion and wire fraud.
US authorities obtained intelligence from a human source in recent weeks on a plot by Iran to try to assassinate Donald Trump, a development that led to the Secret Service increasing security around the former president in recent weeks, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN.
There’s no indication that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin who attempted to kill the former president on Saturday, was connected to the plot, the sources said.
The existence of the intelligence threat from a hostile foreign intelligence agency — and the enhanced security for Trump — raises new questions about the security lapses at the Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and how a 20-year-old man managed to access a nearby rooftop to fire shots that injured the former president.
A US national security official said the Secret Service and Trump campaign were made aware of the threat before Saturday’s rally.
“Secret Service learned of the increased threat from this threat stream,” the official told CNN. “NSC directly contacted USSS at a senior level to be absolutely sure they continued to track the latest reporting. USSS shared this information with the detail lead, and the Trump campaign was made aware of an evolving threat. In response to the increased threat, Secret Service surged resources and assets for the protection of former President Trump. All of this was in advance of Saturday.”

Donald Trump has been nominated for President at the Republican National Convention.
JD Vance has been picked for Vice President. We’ll talk about that one.
And Elon Musk has decided to support Trump in a big way.
Some News
Here is some news
Donald Trump is officially the Republican candidate for President.
JD Vance was picked by Trump to be the VP candidate.
He is a Senator from Ohio.
He started out poor.
He joined the Marines.
He got his B.A. from Ohio State University.
Got his law degree from Yale.
So much for the rhetoric tamping down. The Biden/Harris campaign tweeted after Vance was announced: “Trump has selected far-right MAGA extremist JD Vance as his running mate. Vance is a 2020 election denier, supports a national abortion ban, and voted against IVF access.”
The leftist network decided not to air the top-rated politics show’s first broadcast since Saturday’s deadly shooting over concerns that one of the show’s guests might make an “inappropriate comment on live television that could be used to assail the program and network as a whole,” CNN reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.
Protestors are outside the RNC and have been loud. They have not caused any damage, but are very close to the delegates.
Democrats may push to nominate early to avoid a Democratic rebellion. The Democrats are stuck with Biden. It sounds like Democrats are conceding the election.
The Wall Street Journal reported Musk that is committing to giving $45 million a month to America PAC. Other major backers of the PAC include Palantir Technologies co-founder Joe Lonsdale, the Winklevoss twins, former U.S. ambassador Kelly Craft and her husband, Joe Craft, who is the CEO of Alliance Resource Partners, the report said.
The political action committee is focused on “registering voters and persuading constituents to vote early and request mail-in ballots in swing states,” the report said, adding that the group wanted to neutralize the massive advantage Democrats have had for years with their “get out the vote” campaigns.
This is How Conspiracy Theories Start
More updates (or lack thereof):
The shooter was spotted with a scope 30 minutes before Trump took the stage.
Some snipers were in the building that the shooter was perched on.
The FBI said it was having trouble getting into the shooter’s phone. The finally got in.
There is still no motive.
I Got Some Problems Here
BREAKING: Democrat Rep. Ted Lieu is falsely accusing Donald Trump of being in the Epstein files.
Florida mass shooter Nikolas Cruz has agreed to donate his brain to science in a “unique” civil settlement reached with one of his victims, according to court papers and experts.
Cruz used an AR-15 assault rifle to massacre 17 students and staffers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on Feb. 14, 2018, in one of the deadliest mass shootings in the nation’s history.
An attorney for Anthony Borges, 21, who was shot five times in the attack, proposed the unusual stipulation.
“I figured if scientists studied his brain they might be able to figure out what created this monster,” Borges’ lawyer, Alex Arreaza, told Fox News Digital. “Maybe there was some kind of imbalance that caused this that we can prevent in the future.”
Berkeley-based attorney Scott Herndon, who has represented victims of mass shooters, called the settlement novel.
“I’ve never heard of anything like this before. It’s pretty unique,” he told Fox News Digital. “It underscores the feeling of those left behind that whatever can be done to avoid these massacres in the future should be done.”
The new settlement agreement also gives Borges the right to Cruz’s name for use in movies, books and other media.
The 25-year-old killer, who is serving life in prison, can’t profit from his crime and must obtain permission from Borges prior to giving any interviews.
California will impose permanent water restrictions for the first time in history after the state’s Water Resources Control Board approved a long-debated policy.
Retail water suppliers, not individual households or businesses, will now be required to reduce their water use by close to 30% over the next 15 years. Suppliers who do not follow the new guidelines will face $10,000 daily fines.
Suppliers will have to find ways to encourage their customers to reduce their water usage, such as imposing restrictions or promoting the use of low-flow appliances.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the cuts will not be based on a one-size-fits-all method but on a formula that weighs several factors, including the area’s past water consumption, climate, and land use.
Some areas, like the Bay Area, won’t see dramatic reductions since water use in the region has historically been low. For the Los Angeles County area, water use reductions will also vary.
A 16-year-old girl who had been transitioning to the opposite sex, per police, was arrested over the weekend in Palm Bay, Florida after allegedly killing her mother and her mother’s boyfriend. Julia Egler was subsequently charged with two counts of premeditated first-degree murder for the deaths of Kelley McCollom and Matthew Szejnrok.
Egler initially staged a home invasion in an attempt to convince police she was simply an innocent bystander to a grisly double homicide, but later came clean and admitted that she had killed them. The teen cited disagreements with her mother over “her transition,” claiming she “was not very accepting.”
As WKMG reports, shortly after midnight on Sunday police pulled up to an address on Bencher Road after Egler herself called 911 to report a home invasion. The teen told officers she had been in her room when a man broke in and attacked the pair. She proceeded to show evidence she’d planted, however eventually investigators caught on and took her in for questioning.
Egler reportedly said she used a .38 caliber revolver that she stole from her mother’s room to shoot her and Szejnrok. The former died instantly, while the latter was still alive. After running out of bullets, Egler grabbed a chef’s knife and stabbed him again, before he asked her to reload the gun and shoot him dead.
According to WFTV, at the station, she confessed that it was she who had committed the murders, noting that the attack was the culmination of “many disagreements in the previous weeks.” She told police that she “was not happy with the fact that [McCollom] was not very accepting of her transition, and she also did not like that [McCollom] was dating [Szejnrok] who was 22 years old.”
Egler was transported to a juvenile detention center, where she remains in custody.
There are some issues with the Secret Service that are going to have to be addressed:
How did this guy get onto the roof only 130 yards away from Donald Trump?
When people saw the assassin, what took so long for the Secret Service snipers to react?
It was policy. A very bad policy.
The shooter must shoot first.
Any action must be cleared by supervisors first.
The shooter shot before anything could be done.
The video shows people were screaming about the shooter and the snipers saw him also.
Is DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) an issue? I’d say it is.
Three of Trump’s bodyguards were women a foot shorter than Trump.
One woman couldn’t holster her weapon.
All three women looked completely confused.
Kimberly Cheadle, the director of the Secret Service, said she wants to increase the number of women to 30% over her tenure. She said it was her priority. Shouldn’t her priority be to protect the president and former president?
Is she hiring people that will meet her DEI quota or is she hiring the best people? I think we know the answer to that question.
The Media
CNN's Jamie Gangel attacks Trump for saying "Fight! Fight! Fight!" after someone tried to murder him.
Literally, she complains about what he did 5 seconds after he was shot

It is always a shock to see something like this. But this wasn’t a surprise. The tried to impeach him twice, tried to take his money, tried to shutter his businesses and take his property, tried to ruin his reputation and are trying to throw him in prison. Nothing else has worked.
This is all they have left. Don’t be surprised if this happens again.
More Information
Here is some more information that I heard but has been confirmed:
The Secret Service had fewer agents with Trump because Jill Biden was holding an event near by. I don’t know how near or anything. JILL BIDEN?! REALLY?!
Trump only had two snipers with him and the rest of his detailed was very overworked.
The Secret Service was responsible for the rally area, local police were responsible outside of the perimeter.
The shooter was confronted by a local policeman on the roof. The rifle was pointed at him and he ducked down. The shooter turned and started shooting.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, the shooter, was called a potential school shooter by his classmates. There are always red flags.
Joe Biden had his much anticipated, big-boy news conference. The average viewer would think it didn’t go well. The media is saying it was a good one. Joe Biden will be the Democratic nominee.
Jen Psaki has an idea as to why nobody likes Kamala.
And Neil DeGrass-Tyson has decided to believe in science again. That’s good because I like the guy.
Not Good

OMG: "I wouldn't have picked Vice-President Trump to be Vice President, if I didn’t think she was qualified to be President." – Joe Bidenpic.twitter.com/XSx7xWnS3P
New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has introduced articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
Ocasio-Cortez has long criticized multiple conservative members of the Supreme Court, but the rhetoric of impeachment was amped up in the wake of recent rulings, including the court’s decision on presidential immunity.
“The unchecked corruption crisis on the Supreme Court has now spiraled into a Constitutional crisis threatening American democracy writ large,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement. “Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s pattern of refusal to recuse from consequential matters before the court in which they hold widely documented financial and personal entanglements constitutes a grave threat to American rule of law, the integrity of our democracy, and one of the clearest cases for which the tool of impeachment was designed.”
Ocasio-Cortez specifically criticized gifts Thomas received from his friend, billionaire Harlan Crow.
“Clarence Thomas, in his conduct as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors, by refusing to report the source, description, and value of gifts, and by failing to report of real estate property,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in the articles, going on to list gifts he did not reportedly reveal.
Thomas acknowledged in his latest annual financial report, released in June, that he had “inadvertently omitted” reimbursement for food and lodging expenses for the July 2019 travel.
House Republicans and a handful of Democrats passed legislation on Wednesday requiring proof of U.S. citizenship in order to vote, a top GOP priority that Democratic leadership strongly opposed.
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act was supported by 216 Republicans and five Democrats, with 198 Democratic lawmakers opposing the bill. It is unlikely to go anywhere in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
The SAVE Act would require voters to provide proof of citizenship including a valid photo ID and documentation such as a birth certificate.
Republicans have warned of illegal immigrants potentially registering to vote and casting ballots in national elections this year. Although documentary proof of citizenship is not required for federal voter registration forms, it is illegal to falsely claim oneself to be a U.S. citizen.
Noncitizen voting is not a widely documented phenomenon, but some deep-blue locales have passed laws permitting it. The left-wing Brennan Center found 30 suspected cases of noncitizen voting out of 23.5 million votes across 42 jurisdictions in the 2016 election.
“Over the past four years, Joe Biden has welcomed millions upon millions of illegals into the country knowing that noncitizens only have to check a box to vote in a federal election,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.) said in a statement.
The Democrats fought hard to stop this thing from passing.

Legislation increasing penalties for people who solicit, agree to engage in, or engage in any act of commercial sex with a minor is being opposed by a group of activists, claiming that it disproportionately harms minorities and the LGBTQ community. The bill has also been watered down from its original punitive measures.
Activists opposed the legislation that would make a felony to purchase or solicit children for sex, claiming during public testimony on the legislation that “SB 1414 takes an overly punitive approach that fails to address the root causes of these issues and will not effectively stop sexual violence.”
Activists oppose California bill giving harsher penalties for soliciting minors for sex, say it will disproportionality harm LGBTQ community and people of color.

Senate Bill 1414 passed a vote in the Public Safety Committee last week. State Sen. Shannon Grove originally proposed making it a felony for someone to solicit teenagers 17 and younger, however, the bill was watered down by the committee to exclude those ages 16 and 17.
The committee later revised the bill to include 16- and 17-year-olds, but with the caveat that prosecutors now must prove that the 16- or 17-year-olds were not only solicited for sex but also are victims of sex trafficking.
Grove told KCRA 3 that the change to put 16 and 17-year-olds back in the bill is just political showmanship. “I think Kevin McCarty is looking for a way to put 16- and 17-year-olds back in the bill and say he was successful, but he only damaged them further.” The question still remains as to what form the bill will ultimately pass.
Today, we are going to get more into the crazy stuff within the culture. But first, let me prove to you that it is Biden’s policies that should lose him the election, not his senility.

The Biden administration recently allowed Iranian citizens to vote in the totalitarian regime’s sham presidential election from makeshift booths in a handful of U.S. hotels, drawing the ire of the terror-sponsoring nation’s critics.
Biden green-lighted Iranian regime voting stations across America for election of the president of the Islamic Republic. The contest on Friday resulted in the victory of Masoud Pezeshkian, a heart surgeon, over the former nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili. Pezeshkian secured secured 53.3% of the vote while Jalili received 44.3%.
Kaveh Shahrooz, an Iranian-Canadian expert on Iran’s regime, urged a “two-front battle” to debunk the myth that Pezeshkian is a reformer and to unite the Iranian opposition against the regime in Tehran.
“But now, with the selection of a ‘reformist’ president, they will revive their lies about the Iranian regime’s capacity for change,” wrote Shahrooz.
The largely symbolic presidential position is controlled by the unelected Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ali Khamenei, who has the final word on domestic and foreign policies. Khamenei selects who can run for president. Hence, Iranians call it a “selection” and not a real election.
Last Friday’s first round of voting saw the lowest participation since the country’s 1979 Islamic revolution established a theocratic state. The Iranian regime’s Interior Ministry said that yesterday’s election produced over 30 million votes. The alleged turnout of 50% in the run-off election was higher than the first round (40%) on June 2, but still low by historical standards. Eyewitness reports and videos showed empty polling stations in Iran.
According to KTLA Channel 5 News out of Los Angeles:
San Bernardino County supervisors are asking state officials to declare a statewide state of emergency as insurance companies continue to limit business in the Golden State.
The Board of Supervisors unanimously voted on June 25 to adopt a resolution asking California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara, Gov. Gavin Newsom and the State Legislature to declare a state of emergency and take action to strengthen and stabilize the state’s insurance marketplace, the San Bernardino Sun reported.
The state of emergency, if declared, would bar insurance providers from dropping current homeowners policies.
The resolution comes as major insurers, including State Farm and Allstate, have decided to limit business in California. Last year, State Farm announced it would stop accepting new insurance applications for all business and personal property in California.
Other insurance companies, including Allstate and Farmers Insurance, have announced plans to limit business in the Golden State.
The rapid decrease in insurance companies offering services to California residents has resulted in many new and existing homeowners turning to California’s FAIR plan for coverage. The plan covers basic hazards but is described as a “temporary safety net” since it was never meant to replace insurance coverage companies can offer.
An Arizona cop got quite the surprise when he recently pulled over a white Jaguar SUV for an alleged slew of reckless actions near a construction zone — and the car turned out to be a driverless Waymo taxi with no one inside.
Newly released body-cam footage from the Phoenix Police Department shows how the officer chased down the vehicle near Seventh Avenue and Osborn Road on June 19 after it allegedly drove into oncoming traffic, ran a red light and “FREAKED OUT,” according to dispatch records obtained by AZ Central.
The officer’s confusion is audible after he goes up to the driver’s side of the vehicle — which is designed to pull over when it detects emergency lights and sirens — and sees that the carhe stopped doesn’t have a driver.
The vehicle’s audio system then connects the officer with a company representative, and the cop informs them of the problem.
“So your car here drove into oncoming lanes of traffic,” the officer informs the company.
The rep responds, “OK, I’ll go ahead and take a look at that right now.”
The cop adds, “Yeah, there’s like a little bit of a construction area, and it went on opposing lanes of traffic, which is real bad.”
Another officer can seen at one point popping by to ask what is going on — and also appears visibly surprised see the car is empty.
He gasps in shock, too, when he learns that the driverless car veered into the oncoming traffic lane.
A Waymo support staffer eventually arrives to assist the first responding cop.
Phoenix officials later humorously noted that the incident ended without further need for action, as the officer was “UNABLE TO ISSUE CITATION TO COMPUTER,” according to the dispatch records.
Waymo said in a statement that the vehicle had “encountered inconsistent construction signage” during the trip, causing it to move into an oncoming lane of traffic.
The car was then “blocked” from moving back into the correct lane for about 30 seconds before the officer pulled it over, the company said.
Phoenix is one of the few cities in the US that allows autonomous vehicles to drive on its roads, with Waymo cleared to operate even in the Arizona capital as of 2024.
A parody social media account named the “Chief Rabbi of Gaza” claimed another victim from the progressive “Squad,” duping Rep. Cori Bush’s, D-Mo., team into boasting about a potential event with the fake rabbi.
Bush’s re-election campaign was considering a possible fundraiser with “Fabbi Linda Goldstein,” a parody X account that posts anti-Israel rhetoric in an attempt to catfish progressives, according to a report from the New York Post.
The parody account reached out to Bush’s team on June 23 with the idea of partnering on a fundraiser, with the account telling the lawmaker’s office that their “congregation was displaced from Gaza after Israel’s invasion on October 7.”
“Also – would [Bush] travel to the Gaza border for the fundraiser? The optics could be incredible,” the account told Ronika Moody, Bush’s finance and engagement director, according to emails reviewed by the Post.
“Cori is interested in hosting in Gaza, and it’s something she has been trying to plan. Unfortunately, we have not been successful with that opportunity as of yet,” Moody responded four days later, asking whether the “theme” of the fundraiser would be Gaza.
Goldstein responded with a suggestion that the fundraiser’s theme could be “the morality” of intifada, according to the report.
“The topics are built around finding a final solution to the problem of Zionism,” Goldstein said in the email, garnering no response from Bush’s team.
Pride month is over and it went out with a bang in San Francisco.
Getting rid of Joe Biden seems like it’s an impossibility, so the Democrats are changing course.
And it’s not just senility that is why people don’t want Biden as President. It is also his crappy policies that are going to get him kicked out. I have another one for you.
The “Fetish Zone” was home to multiple booths where sex toys and demonstrations of sex acts were being performed on stage and upon walking into the area attendees were encouraged to “use the pool if they needed to urinate”.
Immediately upon walking in, a bearded man laying in a small inflatable pool of urine could be seen being urinated on by multiple attendees.
Other booths featured participants getting spanked, whipped and imitating sex acts on each other, all in public. Sex toys and bondage ropes were also being sold and attendees could participate in “active demonstrations.”
The “Fetish Zone” was blocked off as a 18+ only portion and there was an ID check, however, the attendee monitoring the area was not checking attendees IDs. Children could be seen walking outside the area mere feet from where this event was taking place.
Videos of the event went viral and sparked outrage. Tenet Media’s Tayler Hansen asked police how these lewd acts were legal.
“We don’t make the rules,” one officer chimed in, “it’s a pick your battle kind of day,” another officer added. Police who were monitoring the event refused to step in or stop people even when public masturbation and sex acts were taking place.
And this is not the first time a San Francisco event has sparked outrage over public sex acts or urination. Back in 2023, California State Senator, Scott Weiner made headlines after he praised the Folsom Street Fair, a kink festival applauding the day as “one of the best days of the year in San Francisco.”
Public nudity was outlawed in San Francisco back in 2012, however, city officials have made an exception for any event, parade or festival held under a city- or government-issued permit. Meaning the acts committed in front of children at SF Pride were only allowed by permission of their local government.
Throughout the two day event multiple adults walked around full naked and sometimes erect, in front of children. Adults took photos holding each other’s genitals and imitating sex acts on each other with even adult attendees visibly shocked and surprised at the open nudity at San Francisco Pride 2024.
The past 36 hours showcased two Joe Bidens: the veteran president rallying voters in a swing state, and an 81-year-old man struggling to string thoughts together in a debate.
Why it matters: The public split screen isn’t new to many inside the White House, where top aides have meticulously stage-managed minutiae such as Biden’s sleep schedule, his orthopedic shoes, his walks to Marine One and his climb aboard Air Force One to try to blunt concerns about his age.
Internally, many aides have seen flashes of an absent-minded Biden, but typically brush them off as ordinary brain farts because they usually see him engaged, eight current and former Biden officials told Axios.
But Thursday’s debate has shattered the White House’s efforts to show Biden at his best: a president capable of serving until 2029, when he’d be 86.
Driving the news: In his debate against Donald Trump, Biden often looked lost or slack-jawed, and delivered meandering answers in a hoarse voice.
Some campaign aides projected calm Friday and framed the debate as just a bad night that they’d recover from. Other Biden aides, donors and senior Democrats were deeply shaken, as Trump and other crowing Republicans questioned his fitness for office.
Beyond the politics of whether Biden can beat Trump again, the aides expressed new worries about whether the president can carry out his duties through another four-year term.
Friday, Biden eased some of those concerns with a full-throated campaign rally, where he found a more comfortable setting with a cheering crowd and a Teleprompter.
He also acknowledged he’d done poorly the night before, and cast himself as a survivor who bounces back.
“I don’t walk as easy as I used to, I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to, I don’t debate as well as I used to,” he said to roars from the crowd in Raleigh, N.C.
“…But I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. And I know how to do this job, I know how to get things done.”
Between the lines: Biden’s miscues and limitations are more familiar inside the White House.
The time of day is important as to which of the two Bidens will appear.
From 10am to 4pm, Biden is dependably engaged — and many of his public events in front of cameras are held within those hours.
Outside of that time range or while traveling abroad, Biden is more likely to have verbal miscues and become fatigued, aides told Axios.
Thursday’s 90-minute debate began at 9pm ET.
Afterward, CNN’s cameras captured First Lady Jill Biden gingerly helping her husband descend the few stairs by the podium.
What they’re saying: White House spokesperson Andrew Bates told Axios that there “is one Joe Biden, who works his heart out fighting for families like the one he grew up in in Scranton, and who, because of his determination, experience and decency, keeps achieving unprecedented results for them.”
Zoom in: Some of the close-knit Biden aides who prepped him for the debate told confidantes they were optimistic beforehand, and that he’d done well in their practice sessions.
The vast majority of Biden aides agreed the debate was damaging, but disagree on the extent.
Having an early debate was meant to make up a polling deficit to Trump rather than fall further behind.
But by having it in June, Biden’s team has several months to recover.
On April 30, Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services enacted the “Safe and Appropriate Foster Care Placement Requirements,” which require child welfare agencies to place foster children only with families who have committed to “establishing an environment that supports the child’s LGBTQI+ status or identity.” Under the new rules, foster care providers must use a child’s “identified pronouns” and “chosen name,” and allow the child to dress in a way that “reflects [their] self-identified gender identity and expression.”
The rules also require foster parents to establish “an environment that supports the child’s LGBTQI+ status or identity,” something legal experts warn could be interpreted to mean providing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or surgical interventions designed to change the child’s sex.
The Biden Administration’s new rules stand to put further strain on a foster care system that is already struggling to serve more than 600,000 children annually as it would disqualify the families most likely to care for vulnerable kids. The new HHS rule is not scheduled to take effect until 2026, but it follows similar regulations in Oregon, Massachusetts, and Vermont.
Practicing Christians are more than twice as likely to foster or adopt than the general population, with Catholics being three times more likely and evangelicals five times more likely. Further, 65 percent of non-kin foster parents attend religious services weekly.
Yet a recent Pew poll found these are also the kinds of families least likely to meet the Biden administration’s new demands. Among white evangelicals, only 15 percent agree that a person’s sex can differ from their biology. For black Protestants like those depicted in Sound of Hope, only 36 percent believe gender can change. (Pew did not offer results for non-whites who identify as evangelical.)
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said that she would be filing articles of impeachment against justices on the US Supreme Court after they sided with Donald Trump in the immunity case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
AOC posted, “The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control,” after the ruling came down in Trump’s favor 6-3.
“Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture. I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return,” she added.
In other spats with more conservative justices on the court, AOC has taken aim at Justice Samuel Alito recently, after his wife said she flew an upside-down flag at their home after an argument with a neighbor. She also called for Justice Clarence Thomas to resign last year.
Many online slammed AOC for the post about impeachment. Elon Musk also responded with a parody story from Grok, titled, “AOC to Supreme Court: ‘You’re Impeached, You’re Impeached, EVERYBODY’S Impeached!'”
On Monday, the court ruled that those who fill the role of the president have absolute immunity for actions under core constitutional powers. This would also apply to Trump when he was in office, though not for unofficial acts. The opinion of the court was written by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
The illegal alien crime wave continues. Here’s a couple of more cases that our justice system is going to have to deal with:
The migrant charged with murdering a young woman on her birthday in Syracuse was caught on video carrying her lifeless body — right in front of a passing police cruiser, the harrowing clip shows.
Surveillance footage shows the moment murder suspect Jhon Moises Chacaguasay-Ilbis went into the Airbnb with still-alive Joselyn Jhoana Toaquiza, 21, on June 18. Chacaguasay-Ilbis, an Ecuadorian national who entered the US illegally, then leaves the home with a limp Toaquiza draped across his back.
He was reported to have entered the US illegally in January 2023, but although initially detained, he was released into the US because there wasn’t any space to hold him.
Oved Bernardo Mendoza Argueta, a 37-year-old native of El Salvador, was arrested and charged with capital murder after he opened fire in the fast-food joint in Irving around 3:40 p.m., according to police.
Two workers were allegedly shot and killed by an illegal migrant at a Texas Chick-fil-A on Wednesday — in the latest disturbing incident believed to have been committed by an asylum seeker.
Two people, one identified as Patricia Portillo, died at the scene from gunshot wounds. The other victim’s identity is being withheld pending family notification, a police spokesperson told The Post.
An illegal immigrant who was previously deported from the United States allegedly reentered the country and has been charged with sexual battery after he allegedly assaulted a 14-year-old girl in Florida.
Jose Chan, a 24-year-old foreign national from Guatemala, was arrested by Florida’s Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday. The girl reported the alleged attack to family members, who transported her to a nearby hospital.
Chan is currently in the Okaloosa County Jail, though Customs and Border Patrol has requested to take him into custody. The suspect was previously deported back to his homeland on February 9th, 2024.
Regulators in New Jersey are set to determine whether Donald Trump‘s golf courses in Colts Neck and Bedminster should have their liquor licenses renewed following his guilty conviction on 34 felony counts. The State Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control has refused to do so, opting instead to issue temporary permits which will last until the hearing, scheduled for July 19 in Trenton.
The former president had turned over management of The Trump Organization, which runs the courses, to his sons Donald and Eric after being sworn in as president on January 2017, however officials in New Jersey argued that because he is still the “sole beneficiary” of the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, the fact that he is now a convicted felon will impact his businesses’ ability to serve alcohol.
According to the Washington Post, the Attorney General’s Office noted that “a review by ABC indicates that Mr. Trump maintains a direct beneficial interest in the three liquor licenses through the receipt of revenues and profits from them, as the sole beneficiary of the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust.”
Under New Jersey law, anyone convicted of a crime involving “moral turpitude” is prohibited from holding a liquor license. During the hearing, the AG’s office explained, Trump “bears the burden of proof to demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that they remain qualified to maintain licensure, which includes a review of any beneficiaries of the licenses.” Essentially, Trump must show that the crimes for which he was convicted do not violate the aforementioned rule.
“We believe that a hearing regarding the renewal of our liquor licenses is unwarranted and unjustified,” the Trump Organization said in a statement. “We sincerely hope that this investigation is not political in nature, and given the foregoing, we feel confident that our licenses will remain unaffected. “A third Trump golf course in Pine Hill had its license renewed by the municipality, and is unaffected by the hearing.
