October 03, 2024 ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT - Donald Trump Is Once Again Targeted By A Gunman
Donald Trump was the target of what the FBI said “appears to be an attempted assassination” at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, just nine weeks after the Republican presidential nominee survived another attempt on his life. The former president said he was safe and well, and authorities held a man in custody.
U.S. Secret Service agents stationed a few holes up from where Trump was playing noticed the muzzle of an AK-style rifle sticking through the shrubbery that lines the course, roughly 400 yards away.
In an email to supporters, Trump said: “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!” He wrote: “Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!”

September 25, 2024 RFK Jr FORCES Ballots To Be Reprinted In North Carolina After SUPREME COURT Ruling
North Carolina’s Supreme Court ruled Monday that the State Board of Elections must reprint presidential ballots to remove former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name from the ticket.
The decision marks a significant win for Kennedy, who suspended his campaign in critical swing states more than two weeks ago and subsequently endorsed former President Trump. The independent candidate has since launched an effort to remove his name from ballots in the battleground states where the race is expected to be close in November — a move aimed at boosting Trump’s support.
In the 4-3 decision Monday, the state’s top court said it was clear that Kennedy ended his campaign and that a vote for him would not count. The order stressed the importance of protecting the right to vote over other concerns.

September 16, 2024 Why The Taylor Swift ENDORSEMENT Of Kamala Harris Over Donald Trump CHANGES The 2024 Election
Taylor Swift said Tuesday she is supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in the race for president, ending speculation about whether the superstar singer would share her political views ahead of November’s election.
“Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most.
As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country,” Swift wrote on Instagram, shortly after the conclusion of Harris’ debate with former President Donald Trump, her Republican rival, on ABC News.

September 12, 2024 Trump FUMBLES First Debate Against Kamala Harris - Starts Talking About Eating Dogs 👀
Almost 60 million people watched Tuesday night’s debate between Vice President Harris and former President Trump, according to initial Nielsen research.
That total audience figure is 10 million more than watched this cycle’s first presidential debate between Trump and President Biden in May, but well short of the record 84 million that watched a 2016 clash between Trump and then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
During the debate, Harris and Trump clashed over issues ranging from the southern border to the economy and fracking.

September 10, 2024 This Is Why Dick Cheney Is ENDORSING Kamala Harris Over Donald Trump
Former Vice President Dick Cheney said he plans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris instead of former President Donald Trump — explaining that his decision had to do with Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again," Cheney, 83, said Friday in a widely reported statement.
He added, "As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris."

September 09, 2024 Donald Trump Is OBVIOUSLY Bothered By Tim Walz’s “Weird” Comments - Here’s The Proof
Donald Trump repeatedly insisted that he and running mate JD Vance were “not weird”, moments before launching into a tangent about hating mosquitoes during a town hall, where he also attacked rival Kamala Harris and promised “the largest deportation in history” if he was to return to the White House.
The former president participated in a one-hour, pre-taped event with Fox News’ Sean Hannity in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Wednesday.
With few interjections from Hannity, Trump repeated common refrains about Harris’ economic agenda and her record at the border. He also worked to distance himself and “JD” from the “weird” label first given to them Democratic vice presidential candidate, Tim Walz.

September 05, 2024 Chinese Spy Caught Working In New York Governor’s Office 👀 Here’s The Details
Federal agents have arrested a former top aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochul and prosecutors charged her with acting as an undisclosed agent of the Chinese government.
Linda Sun, 40, who served as the deputy chief of staff in Hochul’s office for roughly 15 months between 2021 and 2022.
Sun is accused of acting at the request of People’s Republic of China officials and Chinese Communist Party representatives by blocking representatives of the Taiwanese government from accessing high-level New York state officers, obtaining official state proclamations for PRC government representatives without authorization, attempting to facilitate a trip to the PRC by a high-level state politician and more.
In return, Sun allegedly received “substantial” monetary benefits that she and Hu allegedly laundered to purchase real estate in Manhasset, a condominium in Hawaii and multiple luxury vehicles.

September 05, 2024 $1,000 Payment To New Parents Found UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Supreme Court Deals Major Ruling
A ballot proposal that would pay new Baltimore City parents $1,000 has been ruled unconstitutional by the Maryland Supreme Court. The question will not appear on the November ballot for city voters.
The Baltimore Baby Bonus campaign wanted the city to provide a one-time, $1,000 payment to new parents, whether through adoption or birth, in order to provide children and families with needed resources. The campaign collected more than the 10,000 signatures required to put the "baby bonus" on the ballot.
Organizers of the campaign estimated the program would cost the city $7 million per year.
The city opposed the initiative, saying it violates state and local laws by circumventing legislators, and that the city did not have the funds to sustain such payments.

September 02, 2024 RFK Jr. REMAINS On Several Swing States Ballots. Will This Bring Down Trump?
On Aug. 23, Kennedy suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump. Kennedy said his name would remain on the ballot in many noncompetitive states. But in the seven battleground states and three others that he considers competitive, he would request to have his name removed from the ballot.
"Our polling consistently showed that by staying on the ballot in the battleground states, I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues," he said.
Some of the states have granted Kennedy's request. Others say he must remain. Here's where his efforts to get off the ballot in those 10 states stand.

August 30, 2024 Mark Zuckerberg ADMITS To Censoring Information At The Request Of The White House
On Monday, Zuckerberg sent a letter to the powerful House Judiciary Committee, stating that the Biden administration had “pressured” Meta to “censor” content during the pandemic.
“In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree,” Zuckerberg said.
The Meta chief added that the pressure he felt was “wrong” and he came to “regret” that his company, the parent of Facebook and Instagram, was not more outspoken.
