Johnstown, Pa. (AP) — A man at Donald Trump’s rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, stormed into the press area as the former president spoke Friday but was surrounded by police and sheriff’s deputies and was eventually subdued with a Taser.[Snip] The incident happened amid heightened scrutiny of security at Trump rallies after a gunman fired at him, grazing his ear, during an outdoor rally in nearby Butler, Pennsylvania. Security at political events has been noticeably tighter since the shooting.

Comments:

“A gunman fired at him, grazing his ear”. How’s that for a journalistic description of the assassination attempt that would have blown DJT’s head off if he hadn’t turned at precisely the time and angle to cause the bullet to only graze his ear?

Grazed his ear? Damned near shot half of it off but the media wants to downplay it because it might help Trump. I despise most of the media....the real enemies of our country. They even tried to suppress the picture of Trump, fist upraised and blood running down his face. A truly heroic photo that went viral quickly much to their dismay.

"Grazed his ear"? As if we needed another reason to distrust and avoid AP. Pure dishonesty, repeatedly.

"It was not clear what motivated the man or whether he was a Trump supporter or critic." AP scores again in "impartiality".

The AP article itself unwittingly provides a textbook example of why the media is despised by at least half the populace. First, as others have noted, the author takes pains to minimize the assassination attempt. Secondly and more insidiously, there is a subtle attempt here to imply that it was Trump's harsh words about the media that drove this individual to storm the media area. In other words it's scaled-down version of the old January 6 "insurrection" narrative being trotted out once again.

My hat is off in respect for the Pennsylvania police and sheriffs deputies for the security they provide. I also note that there is no mention of any federal security doing anything.

To me, it appears that law enforcement is more worried about protecting the press pukes than they ever were about protecting PDT.

At first the press area and security pounded him. They tossed him over the rail. I saw many agents, city, County, state and several feds made sure he was arrested. As thy led him out I could tell the loud mouth was shouting to untie him and he would take everyone on. He didn't realize how lucky he was.

Despite threats of legal action from former President Donald Trump, the controversial biopic The Apprentice has reportedly landed a U.S. distributor and is set to hit cinemas less than a month before the presidential election.[Snip] Briarcliff Entertainment appears to be trying to inflict as much media damage on former President Donald Trump as possible heading into November’s election. While the movie itself likely won’t be seen by many people, the news media coverage leading up to the release will no doubt be extensive.

From George Orwell’s 1984 comes one of the author’s most memorable lines: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”[[Snip] So what does this apartment community look like post-hijacking? Frankly, it’s exactly what you’d expect, a third world hellscape nightmare. We’ve got a cartel boss calling the shots (his name is “Cookie” in English), lackeys who dole out merciless beatings, seized properties, and lots of firearms.

When I fled civil unrest and violence in Mexico City for the United States as a young girl, I had no idea that I would eventually become sucked into another violent regime: the U.S. abortion industry. Unfortunately, the 17 years I spent working as an employee of Planned Parenthood opened my eyes to unspeakable horrors inflicted on babies and moms that Democrat politicians like Kamala Harris facilitate. Today, as Vice President Kamala Harris seeks to win the White House, I hope my story serves as a warning that Harris’ laundry list of incompetency and injustice against immigrants and women make her unfit to lead our nation.

Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) is facing yet another scandal after it was revealed he signed new teacher licensing rules that target Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Taking effect in July 2025, Minnesota will require teacher license applicants to affirm transgenderism, race, and other culturally sensitive issues that violate their religious beliefs. If teachers refuse to accept the new regulations, their teaching license will not be renewed. The policy applies to both public and private schools.

It’s easy to understand why “equity” is such a powerful word in the progressive world of the left.[Snip] it’s clear that leftists feel they are entitled to equal results no matter how little people have to do to earn those results.

There has to be more time.” Many interpreted his comments to mean he would vote in favor of Amendment 4.[Snip]Lately, many pro-lifers have been frustrated with Trump because he has offered them precious little in terms of commitments on abortion policy.[Snip]By simply raising concerns about the full implications of Amendment 4, Trump could win back the support of some skeptical pro-life voters.

Maybe President Joe Biden was never a serious member of the Washington, DC, establishment — like the Clintons, the Bushes, or the Obamas — or, maybe, the establishment just had no more use for him. Either way, the knives seem to be out for the Biden family after Joe Biden stepped aside from the 2024 presidential election. In three leaks in the last month, members of the permanent political class in Washington disclosed damaging information about the Biden family. One: Hunter Biden accepted $3,101,258 from Romanian partner Gabriel Popoviciu to “influence U.S. government agencies” when Joe Biden served as vice president, Special Counsel David Weiss said in a court filing.
New Pennsylvania Poll Shows Just How Stupid

Is Kamala Harris having second thoughts about picking Tim Walz as her running mate? If she isn't, she probably should be. A new poll out of Pennsylvania is shedding some light on just how much of an own-goal that was. Before getting there, though, the topline is really good news for Donald Trump, showing him tied in the head-to-head and leading in the five-way matchup (which is more relevant). It appears Harris' momentum has been completely halted, with no perceivable bounce from the DNC. Bob Casey, the Democrat senator up for re-election in Pennsylvania, only being up two points is also a huge result for Republicans.

It doesn't take an expert to know that Kamala Harris was out of her element during the softball interview with CNN. She's been avoiding interviews and press conferences for weeks, and despite finally agreeing to an interview with a friendly network conducted by a friendly host, she still needed her male running mate to accompany her. But it should come as no surprise that a body language expert who analyzed Kamala's performance during the interview told Fox News Digital that Harris lacked both confidence and a presidential demeanor. According to Susan Constantine, Harris frequently looked down during the CNN interview, which suggested that she was “not confident in what she’s saying.”
