Acting Secret Service Head ‘Cannot Defend’
Trump Rally Failures, Says Agents Didn’t
Know Shooter Had Gun on Roof
Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/30/2024 9:17:41 PM
Washington, D.C. – The acting head of the Secret Service admitted at a congressional hearing Tuesday that he “cannot defend” the security failures that allowed would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks to carry out the shooting at the former president’s rally earlier this month. Acting Secret Service director Ronald Rowe candidly discussed with Senate lawmakers the agency’s failures at the Trump rally and the various reforms he will implement to ensure nothing like it happens again, a contrast to former director Kimberly Cheatle’s refusal to answer basic questions when she testified before the House Oversight Committee last week. She has since resigned.

So former President Trump did what only he does best today and walked into the proverbial "lion's den" at the National Association of Black Journalists conference. It was by invitation - they also issued one to his opponent, whoever it was at the time and now isn't - but Trump is the only one who showed up.
That in itself is hysterical. The guy, God bless him, is fearless.
Rachel Scott was "hosting," but judging by the immediate hostile tone and rude interrogatories, she was loaded for bear and wanted to earn her bad-a** badge.
I don't think she did, even as hard as she pushed.
A new Harvard/Harris Poll has found that support for Israel among registered voters in the U.S. is still strong — and growing stronger.
The poll, conducted July 26-28 among 2,196 registered voters with a 2.1% margin of error, found that 80% of voters continue to support Israel in its war against Hamas — the same proportion as in June.
Nearly two-thirds — 66% — believe that Israel is trying to minimize civilian casualties, which is up from 62% in June. And 70% believe that a ceasefire should only happen when Hamas is removed from power in Gaza, up from 67% in June.
Similarly, 66% believe Israel should retaliate
To hear the establishment media tell it, the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh has brought the world perilously close to a full-scale war in the Middle East and maybe even a world war. In this hour of crisis, one would expect America’s leaders to be way out front, working energetically to protect the American people, our allies, and American interests, trying to calm the international situation. Instead, the episode has once again raised the question: who exactly are America’s leaders?
The killing of Haniyeh has led to a spate of ludicrous establishment media headlines labeling this bloodthirsty terrorist “moderate and pragmatic.”
Donald Trump stopped by the National Association of Black Journalists’ convention in Chicago on Thursday for a lively on-stage interview that saw him label ABC “fake news” and get into arguments with moderators over Kamala Harris, JD Vance, and abortion. ABC’s Rachel Scott did most of the questioning, and she led off by recalling, “You have told four congresswoman of color who, are American citizens, to go back to where they came from. You have used words like 'animal' and 'rabbid' to describe black attorneys. You attack black journalists, calling them 'a loser' saying the questions that they asked are, quote, “stupid and racist.”
The Associated Press has refused to call out the falsehoods Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign is spreading about Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), claiming that these are simply cases of “vetting” Vance rather than correcting the record.
The radical left has continued to target Vance, former President Donald Trump’s running mate, for remarks he has made about the “anti-family and anti-child” positions of the radical left. They have repeatedly taken clips out of context with hot takes, hoping that no one actually listens to the entirety of Vance’s remarks. This instance is no exception.
On Wednesday, the Kamala HQ posted what they described as an “unearthed video”
Speaking to a room of Black journalists in Chicago, former President Donald Trump said his opponent in the presidential race, Vice President Kamala Harris, "turned Black" a number of years ago.
When answering a question about Republicans labeling Harris a "DEI hire," Trump asked for the reporter's definition of DEI and appeared to question Harris' heritage. "So I've known her a long time - indirectly, not directly very much - and she was always of Indian heritage. And she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black," Trump said. "And now she
Ten days. It's been ten days since Kamala Harris was anointed as the Democratic Party's Chosen One to replace the failing Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election. She has not won one primary vote, but the Democrats waved their hands over her and she's the candidate.
And since this happened, she has not given one unscripted press conference.
Harris announced that she'd locked up the nomination late on July 22, declaring that she'd won commitments of backing from a majority of the nearly 4,000 delegates to next month's Democratic National Convention. She’s since hit the campaign
A student loan forgiveness update will be rolled out in the next week by the Biden administration, coming less than 100 days before the presidential election.
Emails will be sent to millions notifying them they could qualify for debt relief under the enhanced program, along with an opportunity to opt out if they want.
An Education Department announcement made clear what is on offer, with U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona declaring:
Starting tomorrow, the U.S. Department of Education (Department) will begin emailing all borrowers with at least one outstanding federally held student loan to provide updates on potential student debt relief.
As you're probably already aware, James O'Keefe claimed another Lefty scalp this week with secret video of DNC compliance manager Joyce DeCerce calling Vice President Kamala Harris "weirdly unpopular" and saying that he doesn't think she "would win this year." Damning stuff — or is it?
During their meet-not-so-cute, DeCerce told O'Keefe Media Group's undercover female reporter that Harris has no “accomplishments to speak of” but that the DNC tells donors "what they want to hear" to keep the money coming in.
With all due respect to O'Keefe and especially to the reporter — who went above and beyond the call of duty or even the value of any paycheck
The broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC proved themselves to terrorist sympathizers again on Wednesday as they whined about Israel sending Hezbollah’s second in command and Hamas’s top leader to meet their maker. Despite the fact Hamas had been a bad-faith actor in ceasefire negotiations, they suggested it was Israel who was sabotaging them by taking out the threats. One reporter even suggested the leader of Hamas was a “moderate” voice. CBS foreign correspondent Imtiaz Tyab was the hands down worst. During his CBS Mornings segment, he decried:
Settling All Family Business?
6 replies
Lots of observers are remarking on social media that Israel’s strikes against Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut and Hamas commander Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran resemble the climactic scene in The Godfather when Michael Corleone “settled all family business” with the simultaneous assassinations of his mob rivals.
It’s looking like a more apt analogy this afternoon with breaking news reports that a senior Iranian commander has been killed in Damascus. Asianet news reports:
Unconfirmed reports from Syria suggest that Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Forces, has been assassinated
Benjamin Netanyahu held a press conference on Wednesday to officially announce the deaths of two top terrorists, signaling a scorched earth approach shortly after meeting with Kamala Harris.
On Tuesday, it was confirmed that an IDF airstrike killed Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr. Not only had he been leading the effort to bombard Israel with rockets over the last year, but he was also responsible for the bombing of a U.S. Marines barracks in Beirut in 1983. Vengence was finally delivered.
Wednesday brought about another huge victory when Hamas' most senior political leader Ismail Haniyeh was blown up

President Trump traveled to Chicago on Wednesday to deliver remarks at the National Association of Black Journalists conference.
A rude reporter opened the question and answer session by accusing Trump of lying and attacking the black community.
President Trump sat quietly and patiently as the host spewed lies.
The crowd erupted as President Trump unleashed on the rude fake news reporter. “Well, first of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner,” Trump said as the crowd erupted.
Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier thinks the White House owes his network an apology.
But he won't be holding his breath.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, the anchor and executive editor of Special Report with Bret Baier fired back at Democratic critics, who have sought to undermine his reporting on President Joe Biden's record of disturbing public incidents.
And, while Baier is not yet ready to declare a 'White House cover-up' of the president's true condition, he's not ruling it out and he's certainly not done investigating who knew what and when.
'There was clearly an effort to prevent some of what they knew
The Democratic National Convention plans to spend the entire first evening of the event boasting about President Joe Biden’s so-called “accomplishments” and spin his presidency so it appears he’s leaving a “legacy” behind. A source close to the matter told CNN that the event’s programming will focus on celebrating Biden before he turns the “keys over” to Vice President Kamala Harris— the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. The 81-year-old president, who was forced out of the 2024 race a few weeks ago, will give one last primetime address at the convention in Chicago next month.
President Joe Biden announced new rules on July 31 that make millions more borrowers eligible for student loan debt relief.
“Today, my Administration took another major step to cancel student debt for approximately 30 million Americans,” Biden said.
“We won’t stop fighting to provide relief to student loan borrowers, fix the broken student loan system, and help borrowers get out from under the burden of student debt.”
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Iran by what the terrorist group said was an airstrike carried out by Israel early Wednesday morning as Iran’s Supreme Leader has vowed revenge.
Haniyeh, who was one of the most senior Hamas officials, was in Tehran to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s new president when he was killed, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced.
The Revolutionary Guards did not comment on how or who killed Haniyeh, but Hamas pointed the finger at Israel, stating the leader was killed “in a Zionist airstrike on his residence in Tehran after he participated in the inauguration of Iran’s new president.”
As a dementia patient occupies the White House, World War III may be about to break out in the Middle East.
Jim Hoft previously reported that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed after their residence was hit in Tehran on Tuesday evening. Moreover, Israel DID NOT inform the Biden regime before they reportedly took out Haniyeh in Tehran.
The strike by Israel came less than after the Jewish State took out the military commander of Hezbollah in Lebanon. This was in retaliation for Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists slaughtering 12 innocent children after one of their rockets hit a soccer field on Saturday.

Vice President Kamala Harris caused a wave of criticism on social media after appearing to suddenly use a southern accent during a speech in Atlanta. "You all helped us win in 2020 and we gonna do it again in 2024," Harris, who is from California, told Atlanta rally goers while seemingly debuting the new accent. The accent immediately caught the attention of critics on social media, who accused the presumptive Democratic nominee of pandering to her audience.

Vice President Kamala Harris is beating her chest, claiming her record is better than that of former President Donald Trump. Why she is highlighting her resume of non-achievements is beyond me. For voters, they can’t name anything. There’s no single initiative to which voters can apply her name because it doesn’t exist. What does exist is a record of failure. Harris had a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, yesterday, and Peach State voters were dead silent about the Harris record. One woman admitted she never heard her speak until about a week ago:

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has said she no longer endorses a ban on fracking, but political strategists and energy experts say the sudden policy shift will do little to move the needle with key voters in November.
Harris said in 2020 there is “no question” she would end fracking if elected president, but her campaign recently told The Hill she no longer wants to outlaw the practice after videos of her endorsing a ban resurfaced following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race. The campaign can walk back Harris’ old fracking position as it pleases,
