Secret Service Agent Was Breastfeeding Baby as Trump Arrived for Event.

Security and professional lapses continue to plague the U.S. Secret Service (USSS), with the latest incident involving a female agent abandoning her post during former President Donald J. Trump‘s rally in North Carolina. The agent was found in a secured space reserved for USSS emergencies, using the area to breastfeed her child.

Compounding the matter, the site agent—a supervisor in charge of the overall site security plan—found the agent alongside family members who had been able to bypass Uniformed Division security checkpoints. Additionally, the agent and her family were accompanied by an event staffer whom the USSS did not clear to be present in secured areas.

According to USSS protocols, an agent on duty is not allowed to be accompanied by a child. Nor are uncleared family members allowed to accompany an agent into secured areas—especially before a major event involving a protectee. It is believed the agent who left her post to breastfeed was not part of former President Trump‘s regular security detail but rather an agent from the Atlanta, Georgia, field office.

In the aftermath of the July 13 attempted assassination of Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, some have pointed to the overuse of inexperienced USSS agents from the Pittsburgh field office as a contributing factor in the massive security lapse. Additionally, the substitution of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers for USSS agents is also blamed for the breakdown in protection. It is unclear what role, if any, DHS staff played in the North Carolina rally.

POLITICO: Walz Refuses to Provide Critical Info on Military Service, War Dodging.

Establishment media outlet POLITICO admits Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), Kamala Harris‘s running mate, is refusing to disclose when he asked to leave the National Guard. Walz took early retirement shortly before his unit deployed to Iraq, and unearthed press releases from the time suggest his claims he did not know about the looming deployment are untrue.

“Walz has not publicly provided one key detail about his retirement—namely the specific date that he officially requested to leave the service,” reports Ben Kesling, himself a Marine veteran. “That information would allow the public to know if his unit was aware of a forthcoming deployment at the time he submitted paperwork to leave the military. Walz’s staff did not provide that date when asked for it by POLITICO,” he confirms.

In an article comparing the service records of Walz and former President Donald J. Trump‘s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, Kesling acknowledges Vance, who deployed to Iraq as a U.S. Marine, has been forthright about his service.

On the other hand, he reluctantly concedes that Walz has misrepresented his service. He notes that the Minnesota Democrat, who deployed to Europe in support of operations in Afghanistan but never to a combat zone, has “nodded along” when others have inaccurately described him as having deployed to Afghanistan.

STOLEN VALOR.

Kesling also acknowledges “both sides of the political spectrum seem to agree” that Walz “claim[ed] too much” when he referred to “weapons of war, that I carried in war” during an anti-gun rights speech, having never been deployed to a war zone.

Walz also now admits to being “imprecise” when he claimed to be a “retired command sergeant major,” as he never earned the rank before retiring.

Lieutenant Colonel John Kolb, a former commander of Walz‘s battalion, has said Walz’s attempts to “glom onto the title” of command sergeant major are an “affront to the Noncommissioned Officer Corps” and that Walz’s early retirement made way for better leadership in his unit.

These ‘Celebs’ Are Descending on Chicago for the DNC.

As the Democratic National Convention approaches, arrangements for paid appearances by celebrities, entertainers, and musical acts are being finalized. While the convention‘s agenda is not yet public, several after-parties and side events have announced music act headliners and Hollywood celebrity guests.

Among the expected glitterati will be film and television stars like Uma Thurman, Disney‘s Danai Gurira, who has featured in the Marvel “Black Panther” movie, “Young Sheldon” actor Iain Armitage and Uzo Aduba of “Orange is the New Black” and “Mrs. America.” These celebrities are rumored to be among the audience during the Wednesday night concert series hosted by former Representative Gabby Giffords (D-AZ) and her husband, Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ).

JOAN JETT & DRAG QUEENS.

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts will headline the Giffords event at the Ramova Theater in Chicago. Other acts include Drive-By Truckers and SistaStrings. Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer is slated to host the concert.

In addition to major film celebrities and an 80s rockstar, the pro-LGBTQ Equality PAC will host a Monday night party in Chicago‘s gay Boys Town neighborhood. Several stars from “RuPaul’s Drag Race” are expected to attend, including Chad Michaels, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, and Jackie Cox. Also, on Monday night, there will be concert appearances by 90s pop-punk act Jimmy Eat World and rapper Lil Jon.

JOHN LEGEND, TAYLOR SWIFT, & BEYONCE? 

Democratic Party booster and three-time Grammy Award winner John Legend will headline a concert on Tuesday night sponsored by billionaire and DNC host Governor J.B. Pritzker (D-IL). Legend has baselessly accused former President Donald J. Trump of being racist “at his core,” claiming he “believes in a genetic hierarchy of humanity, and it’s racially determined.”

On the final night of the DNC, the Future Forward SuperPAC will host a concert aimed at youth voters. The event will also serve as a fundraiser for the Harris campaign-aligned group. While there haven’t been any official announcements regarding the musical talent, there is rampant speculation that Beyoncé or Taylor Swift could appear.

DiPLoMaCY! – Every New UK Foreign Affairs Appointee Has Said Nasty Things About Trump.

Every newly appointed official in the United Kingdom Labour government’s Foreign Office appears to have a long history of taking jabs at and smearing former U.S. President Donald J. Trump. Should the former Republican President retake the White House in November, potentially cold relations could complicate UK efforts to engage with Trump and the U.S. government.

The National Pulse reported in mid-July that Britain‘s new Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, has thus far refused to apologize for calling Trump a “neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath” and “tyrant.” Defending his remarks, Lammy argued, “You’re going to struggle to find any politician who has not had things to say about Donald Trump in his first term, particularly on Twitter.”

With the U.S. presidential election neck-and-neck between Trump and the Democratic Party nominee, Kamala Harris, Lammy has toned down his recent criticism of the former President, going so far as to say Trump’s stance on NATO and European security is “often misunderstood.” However, the anti-Trump sentiment in the Foreign Office does not end with the Foreign Secretary.

The new North America Minister, Stephen Doughty, and Indo-Pacific Minister, Catherine West, pushed an April 2019 parliamentary motion demanding the then-Conservative UK government cancel Trump‘s state visit. International Development Minister Anneliese Dodds also signed on to the motion at the time, which condemned Trump for allegedly promoting misogyny and xenophobia.

During the debate over the state visit, Doughty accused Trump of lacking “basic values of humanity and equality.” Meanwhile, Dodds said Trump did not abide by “democratic values.”

Woody Johnson, the former U.S. ambassador to the UK under Trump, recently reminded Lammy of his past comments and those from other ministers in the government, warning they were not “wise.” Johnson reportedly told the Foreign Secretary that “people will remember all those comments.”

Abortion Rights, Sports Betting Ballot Measures Approved in This State.

Voters in the Show-Me State will face several crucial decisions on the ballot this November 5, including whether to overturn the state’s current abortion ban and legalize sports betting. The Missouri Secretary of State’s office confirmed on Tuesday that a proposed constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to an abortion has garnered enough signatures to be included in the general election ballot.

The proposed abortion rights amendment will appear as Amendment 3. If passed, it would allow abortions until after fetal viability, approximately 24 weeks, with exceptions when the mother’s life or health is at risk. Under current law, abortion in Missouri is restricted to only instances of medical emergencies.

Democrats in the state hope the ballot measure will energize pro-choice voters in November’s election and boost the prospects of the party’s gubernatorial candidate, State House Minority Leader Crystal Quade. The Republican Party nominee—and favorite to win the election—Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe is a strong opponent of the initiative.

In addition to the abortion measure, voters will decide on Amendment 2, which proposes the legalization of sports betting in the state. This initiative has support from major sports franchises, including the St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs, and aims to implement a 10 percent tax on sports wagers. Revenue from this tax would be allocated to educational institutions and a fund for compulsive gambling prevention.

Lastly, voters will decide on a ballot measure that proposes increasing Missouri’s minimum wage from $12 to $15 per hour by 2026. The initiative, named Proposition A, also includes provisions for guaranteed paid sick time based on hours worked.

Biden-Harris Accelerate Asylum Processing at NORTHERN Border.

According to internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) documents, the Biden-Harris government is expediting the processing of asylum seekers at the U.S.-Canada border. This follows a surge in northern migrant crossings.

The should involve changes to the operation of the “Safe Third Country” asylum agreement between the U.S. and Canada. Migrants subject to the agreement are supposed to be barred from seeking asylum in the U.S. and can be sent back to Canada, which provides ample safe refuge opportunities. Likewise, Canada can also return asylum seekers crossing into its territory from the U.S.

DHS aims to streamline the implementation of the Safe Third Country Agreement, as migrants often delay returns by consulting with lawyers at length and spending time trying to build a case that they are exempt from the agreement’s terms. However, the agency insists the changes will not compromise migrants’ right to a full asylum review.

In fiscal year 2024, 16,500 migrants were apprehended after crossing the U.S.-Canada border illegally, an increase from 10,000 in 2023 and 2,200 in 2022. This is the highest recorded number for the northern frontier.

The resources allocated to the 5,500-mile northern border are much smaller than those allocated to the southern border, which has seen millions of illegal crossings under the Biden-Harris government.

Nevertheless, the Canadian frontier is still a point of vulnerability, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Terrorist Screening Dataset (TSDS) recording that almost 86 percent of suspected terrorists entering the U.S. in fiscal year 2023 did so via the northern border.

DATA: Most Voters Unaware of Harris’s Radical Views.

New survey data reveals significant gaps in voter awareness regarding Kamala Harris’s past far-left policy positions. The study, conducted by McLaughlin & Associates on behalf of The Media Research Center, found that on ten aspects of Harris’s political record, between 71 percent and 86 percent of respondents were either unaware or unsure of her positions.

The issues surveyed include her support for the Green New Deal, abolishing ICE, and eliminating private health insurance. Additionally, the data reveals that many voters obtain their political news primarily from broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) and cable channels (CNN, MSNBC). The lack of voter knowledge of Harris‘s record suggests these outlets have not provided adequate coverage of the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.

According to The Media Research Center, a review of evening news coverage by ABC, CBS, and NBC from July 21 to August 10 found that eight of the ten issues examined in the survey were not mentioned at all. Consequently, the remaining two received only limited air time. This dearth of comprehensive reporting aligns with the knowledge gaps found among voters.

Specific findings from the poll include:

– 71 percent were unaware of Harris’s past advocacy for cutting police funding.
– 73 percent did not know about her co-sponsorship of the Green New Deal.
– 81 percent were unaware of her support for Medicare for All.
– 74 percent were unaware of her 2015 statement that illegal entry into the U.S. should not be considered a crime.

Respondents’ primary sources of election news were broadcast television (50.2 percent), cable news (41.2 percent), and social media (34.4 percent). National newspapers (10.8 percent) and public broadcasting (9.2 percent) were less common sources.

Harris Deceives Voters with Manipulated News Headlines.

Kamala Harris‘s campaign was caught manipulating news headlines and paying to promote the altered stories as search advertisements on Google.

How do Google Search ads work? They appear at the top of the page when someone searches for specific keywords related to the advertiser’s ad.

The details: Since August 3, the Harris campaign has created dozens of these search ads, with headlines that look like they come from CNN, CBS News, NPR, USA Today, and many others.

The ads link to real articles from the news outlets, but the headlines are manipulated to appear as endorsements of Harris and her policies.

Cut to the chase: They want to trick voters into thinking these ads are real headlines. They have “sponsorship” labels but they’re easy to miss.

One example: A manipulated headline from The Independent reads: “VP Harris Protects Democracy – Trump Defends Jan 6 Comments” and the article description reads: “Kamala Harris will protect voting rights for all Americans.”

Another reads: “Harris Will Lower Health Costs” and the article description reads: “Kamala Harris will lower the cost of high-quality affordable health care.”

Is Trump running these shady ads? No. Google’s ad transparency center confirms this.

Is this allowed? Google’s terms of service do allow these types of ads to run on their platform and argue that because it says “Sponsored,” they’re easily distinguished from real results.

Big picture: Google is the same platform that was caught suppressing searches about Donald Trump’s attempted assassination just two weeks ago. Make no mistake—if the Trump campaign ran similar ads, they would find a problem with them.

Kamala’s Biggest Flip-Flop Yet!

Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic Party’s new presidential nominee, is now claiming she will not push for a Medicare for All-style healthcare plan despite backing legislation enacting such a plan in 2019. Harris, then a U.S. Senator for California, co-sponsored a bill by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) that would have expanded the Medicare program into a basic universal healthcare plan.

Under the Sanders proposal, government expenditures on healthcare could top $40 trillion over a decade.

The reversal in her support for Medicare for All marks the latest policy flip-flop by Kamala Harris as she attempts to disown the more radical political stances she took nearly four years ago during the lead-up to the 2020 Democratic presidential primary. Harris’s change of opinion was first reported by journalist Peter Doocy who pressed her campaign as to whether she still supported Sen. Sander’s socialized healthcare plan.

Since being selected as the Democratic Party’s 2024 nominee—replacing the 81-year-old Joe Biden—Harris has sought to distance herself from her past radical political statements and positions. The National Pulse reported in late July that the Harris campaign has claimed the candidate now disavows her previous support for a ban on fracking, attacks on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and sympathy for defunding the police.

Harris and her campaign’s corporate media allies have also worked to erase the fact Biden tapped her to serve as ‘border czar.’ Under her watch, the Biden government’s open borders policies saw an explosion in illegal immigration into the country.

In addition, the corporate media has attempted to remove partisanship ratings that revealed Harris to be the most far-left member of the U.S. Senate according to her legislative record.

Tim Walz’s National Guard Shot at Innocent Minnesota Residents During BLM Riots.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris‘s running mate, authorized police to shoot paintballs at local residents who refused to obey an 8 PM curfew during the Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots in Minneapolis in 2020 following the death of George Floyd.

Footage has resurfaced on social media showing police pelting locals with paintballs after one officer is heard saying “light ’em up” to his fellow officers.

The treatment of people standing on their own porches in their own neighborhoods during the 2020 riots is a stark contrast to the treatment of the actual rioters who went around setting large fires in part of the city with barely any police present.

Governor Walz‘s wife Gwen even stated that she purposely left the windows of their home open during the violent riots “as long as [she] could” so that she could smell the burning tires and other objects.

“I kept the windows open as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening,” she said.

Former President Donald J. Trump’s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, has criticized both Governor Walz and Vice President Harris for their reactions to the 2020 riots.

“Tim Walz allowed rioters to burn down Minneapolis in the Summer of 2020, and then the few who got caught, Kamala Harris helped bail them out of jail,” Senator Vance said earlier this month.

Despite giving authority to police to harass local citizens at their homes with paintball guns, Governor Walz has also compared U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions to detain illegal aliens to terrorism.
