Joy Reid Emerges As Lead BlueAnon Conspiracy Theorist on Attempted Trump Assassination.

Joy Reid, a far-left mainstay at MSNBC, has emerged as one of the leading BlueAnon conspiracy theorists regarding the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. In a video posted on social media, Reid—under the auspices of ‘just asking questions’—posits Trump may have been struck by glass and not a bullet.

The far-left political commentator has long been seen as a liability for MSNBC, given her penchant for racially charged language and spreading false information. However, Reid‘s newest rant may be a bridge too far, even for the Democrat-aligned news network.

“We still don’t know for sure whether Donald Trump was hit by a bullet, whether he was hit by glass fragments, whether he was hit by shrapnel—we don’t have those details,” Reid states in her video, going on to falsely claim that the public has no details from Trump’s attending physician at the Butler, Pennsylvania area hospital where he was treated.

“We know almost nothing,” the MSNBC host states before plunging deeper into her bizarre conspiracy theory: “Why don’t we know that much? We know that three people were shot, and one person was unfortunately killed at the rally. We don’t know where they were sitting or standing relative to him.”

Reid continues to spin her conspiracy theory, making unfounded claims about why Trump was held in place on the stage—ignoring Secret Service protocol that requires the evacuation route be secured prior to moving a protectee. She even acknowledges that Trump was only “allowed” to stand after his security detail determined the shooter was down.

“What is the actual injury to Donald Trump‘s ear that’s under that bandage,” she asks, implying the former president may be covering something up. In an effort to further cast doubt on what millions of Americans have now seen with their own eyes, Reid declares: “It’s weird, there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of curiosity about it… it’s just a strange thing that I’ve noticed.”

Wanting to Be Buried Alongside Your Ancestors & Loved Ones Is White Nationalism: MSNBC.

In a new low, MSNBC and Netflix news personality Alex Wagner is accusing Republican vice presidential nominee Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) of dropping an “Easter egg of white nationalism” during his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. Wagner lamented that Vance’s speech “was not the same red meat, sort of blood and soil nationalism that you might hear in, I don’t know, other parallel universe Republican conventions,” suggesting she intended to smear the candidate regardless of what he said.

“I do think there were some sort of Easter eggs of white nationalism in the speech,” Wagner argued—kicking off what can only be described as an unhinged rant. She continued: “One of the things that stuck out to me was when he started talking about what America is, he said that ‘America is not just an idea, it is a group of people with a shared history and a common future.'”

She claimed that Vance‘s reference to the “plot in eastern Kentucky, where his seven or six generations of his family are buried” was a white nationalist dog whistle.

RANTING ABOUT A BURIAL PLOT.

“And I sort of understand the idea of sharing the burial plot, but it also is, it reveals someone who believes that the history that the family should inherit, and indeed the history that should be determinative in the story of the Vance family, is the history of the eastern Kentucky Vances and not the Vances from San Diego, which is where his wife is from and where her Indian parents are from,” Wagner said.

She continued: “And I just think the construction of, of this notion reveals a lot about someone who fundamentally believes in the supremacy of whiteness and masculinity, and it’s couched in a sort of halcyon, you know, revisitation of his roots, but it is actually really revealing about what he thinks matters and who America is, and that America is a place for people with his shared Western background.”

The line that Wagner found so troubling in Vance‘s speech was a recollection of a heartfelt conversation with his wife: “Honey, I come with $120,000 worth of law school debt and a cemetery plot on a mountainside in eastern Kentucky.”

Local Government Uncovers Over 6,500 Lost Votes from Election Day.

England’s Wandsworth Council has discovered a significant error in the election results for the Putney constituency (electoral district), revealing that 6,558 votes were initially missed on election day, amounting to approximately 15 percent of the original turnout. Despite the error, the outcome of the election remains unchanged, confirming Labour‘s Fleur Anderson as the MP for Putney, a position she has held since 2019.

Due to the reissue of results, candidates across parties saw their vote counts increase by 13 to 17 percent.

The Conservative Party has raised concerns about the competence of the election team, particularly since the parliamentary election count was overseen by a new Labour administration. Wandsworth Council had been controlled by the Conservatives from 1978 to 2022.

Peter Graham, a Tory councilor (councilman), voiced strong concerns over the handling of the situation, stating, “It’s extremely concerning that the Council knew the official declaration was wrong, failed to tell anyone, and then concealed a correction on its website.”

The incident has sparked broader concerns about other constituencies where narrow majorities could potentially have been affected by errors. Several races in Britain’s July 4 snap election were decided by thin margins.

Joe Scarborough Demands Biden Advisors Intervene & End Campaign: ‘Not Going To End Well.’

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough is calling on those closest to Joe Biden to “do the right thing” and push the 81-year-old Democrat out of the 2024 presidential race. A close ally of Biden, Scarborough has until now defended the octogenarian career politician’s decision to push forward with his re-election bid despite plummeting support and concerns about his cognitive decline.

“You know, it’s really incumbent on people that are around Joe Biden to step up at this point and help the President. And help the man they love. And do the right thing,” Scarborough said during Thursday morning’s episode of Morning Joe. “This is not going to end well if it continues to drag out.”

The Congressman turned left-wing news host stopped short of directly telling Biden he needed to leave the race. Instead, Scarborough suggested that Biden’s re-election bid has been hampered by aides who exist in a “bubble” and are not telling the incumbent the truth about his failing campaign.

“The anger that I hear is not at Joe Biden. The anger I hear are at the people [sic] who are keeping him in a bubble,” Scarborough said. The MSNBC host added: “That’s not just the anger from inside Congress. That is anger from inside the political, his own political camp, and it is widespread.”

As recently as March, the talk show host was insisting, “This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.”

Monday’s episode of Morning Joe was pulled amidst fears from MSNBC executives that Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski —or their regular guests—could say something “inappropriate” about the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

When they returned, the seething couple threatened to quit the network if they are benched in the same way again.

Biden Border Gap Becomes Hot Spot for Illegals Entering the U.S.

A gap in the U.S. border wall near Otay Mountain, California, has become a focal point for illegal immigrants still surging into the United States despite Joe Biden‘s alleged border crackdown. The unprotected stretch of the U.S. border sits about a mile and a half from the Otay Mesa port of entry. It was slated to be walled off by former President Donald J. Trump as he left office. However, the Biden government suspended construction on the border wall in early 2021.

“It has a very significant impact on operations because it’s an open area where migrants can walk right into the United States unimpeded, and when there’s an influx of migrants, they just use that instead of climbing the fence and just walk in that open area,” said National Border Patrol Council in San Diego president Manuel Bayon in a recent interview.

Bayon continued: “It was almost completed. You’re looking at possibly approximately two football fields. It’s just an open gap. It’s a beacon that here you’re allowed to cross into the United States.”

Agents describe the long stretch with no barrier to entry as “frustrating.”

Under mounting public pressure, the Biden government announced a quasi-crackdown on illegal immigration in early June. Despite the White House’s claims that the Biden executive order aimed to end the border crisis, it actually will allow approximately 1.5 million illegal immigrants to cross the U.S. border annually.

The National Pulse reported earlier this year that an internal memo from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) advises San Diego sector agents to release single adult migrants from over 100 countries, with only six designated high-risk nations receiving proper scrutiny.

House Oversight Subpoenas Secret Service Director After DHS Says She May Not Testify.

The House Oversight Committee, chaired by Representative James Comer (R-KY), says it has issued a subpoena for testimony from United States Secret Service (USSS) Director Kimberly Cheatle. Cheatle was initially slated to appear before the House committee next week. However, Joe Biden‘s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is believed to have intervened on behalf of the USSS Director, throwing her testimony into question.

Following the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump in Bulter, Pennsylvania, on Saturday—which resulted in the death of rallygoer Corey Comperatore—the House Oversight Committee asked that Cheatle voluntarily appear for a hearing to answer for the apparent lapse in security. Initially, it appeared she had agreed.

“On the day of the deadly attack, the Committee sent a written request for your voluntary attendance at a public hearing on July 22, 2024. The Committee next wrote to you on July 15, 2024, requesting specific information in anticipation of your testimony at the July 22 public hearing,” Chairman Comer writes. He adds: “Initially, the Secret Service committed to your attendance.”

“Subsequently, however, DHS officials appear to have intervened, and your attendance is now in question. In addition, since DHS’s intervention, there have been no meaningful updates or information shared with the Committee,” the House Oversight letter announcing the subpoena continues.

Comer’s letter concludes: “The lack of transparency and failure to cooperate with the Committee on this pressing matter by both the DHS and Secret Service further calls into question your ability to lead the Secret Service and necessitates the attached subpoena compelling your appearance before the Oversight Committee.”

The National Pulse previously reported that Cheatle has refused to resign following the deadly attempted assassination against Trump.

Wife of WaPo Columnist Who Accused Trump of Being a Russian Asset Has Been Charged as a Foreign Agent.

Sue Mi Terry, a former senior official with the White House National Security Council and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst, has been arrested and charged with acting as an agent of the South Korean government. According to federal prosecutors, Terry has been indicted for failing to register as a foreign agent and conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

Federal prosecutors allege the woman clandestinely promoted South Korean interests in the U.S. government in exchange for luxury handbags from Louis Vuitton and other high-end items. Terry is the wife of Washington Post columnist Max Boot—a prominent neoconservative and critic of former President Donald J. Trump.

In 2019, Boot published a column listing 18 reasons why he believed that Trump could be a Russian foreign asset. Among the reasons, the Washington Post columnist repeated the widely disproved Russia collusion hoax. Additionally, Boot insinuated that those around Trump may have been influenced by the Russians, including through business ties and gifts.

South Korean intelligence agents plied Boot’s wife, Sue Mi Terry, with luxury gifts in exchange for handing over information pertinent to the Asian nation’s interests and providing introductions to key U.S. officials. According to prosecutors, she received a  $2,950 Bottega Veneta handbag, a $3,450 Louis Vuitton handbag, a $2,845 Dolce & Gabbana coat, and multiple trips to top-tier restaurants. In addition, her policy program focusing on South Korean affairs received over $37,000 in funding from South Korean intelligence operations.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) indicates Terry began serving the interests of the South Korean government in 2013—just after she left Barack Obama‘s White House. Consequently, this means that Boot made false accusations against Trump while his wife was allegedly working as a foreign agent against the interests of the United States.

‘You Owe President Trump Answers’ — Senators Heckle Secret Service Chief at RNC.

United States Secret Service (USSS) Director Kimberly Cheatle was lambasted by a group of Republican United States Senators as she walked through the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Wednesday. The Senators demanded answers and transparency regarding the security failures that led to Saturday’s attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump.

“This was an assassination attempt! You owe the people answers. You owe President Trump answers,” shouted Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) as she and others kept stride with Cheatle through the convention concourse. Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), meanwhile, accused the USSS director of “stonewalling.”

Sens. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and James Lankford (R-OK) were also among the scrum following Cheatle as she made her way to a suite occupied by the USSS. Cheatle was in Milwaukee ostensibly to oversee security arrangements following last week’s attempted assassination, though some speculate her presence was little more than an attempt to save face.

According to Sen. Blackburn, Cheatle “…would not answer our questions and wanted to say it was not the time nor place.”

The Tennessee Republican added: “This is after we’ve been through a conference call today. … She can run, but she cannot hide because the American people want to know how an assassination attempt was carried out on former President Donald Trump.”

In response to the senators’ questions, the USSS released a statement insisting that Cheatle and the agency are committed to transparency and cooperation in the ongoing investigation into the assassination attempt. The agency also reiterated that Cheatle has no intention of stepping down as director.

WATCH: Navarro Delivers Speech in Milwaukee After Heading Straight to RNC from Prison.

Peter Navarro, former top trade adviser to President Donald J. Trump, was released from federal prison on Wednesday after completing a four-month sentence for defying the corrupt January 6 Committee. Navarro, aged 75, headed directly to the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee to support the former president.

News of Navarro’s release was shared on social media by his staff, who optimistically wrote, “The best is yet to come.”

At the convention, he delivered a speech saying the committee had demanded he “betray” Donald Trump and break the law, and Joe Biden’s “Department of Injustice” punished him for refusing to do so.

“They did not break me, and they will never break Donald Trump,” he declared.

In September, Navarro was found guilty of two counts of criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the January 6 Committee. A leftist federal judge in Washington sentenced him to four months in prison and a $9,500 fine.

A three-judge appeals court panel in Washington rejected Navarro’s request to delay his sentence. Subsequently, he sought emergency relief from the Supreme Court, but Chief Justice John Roberts denied his initial request to remain free during his appeal. The full Supreme Court later declined a renewed effort by Navarro.

Navarro became the first former White House official to serve prison time following a contempt of Congress conviction.

Stephen K. Bannon, former White House chief strategist, is currently serving a four-month sentence in a federal prison in Connecticut for similarly defying the January 6 Committee.

Trump to Attend Funeral of Hero Firefighter Killed During Assassination Attempt.

Former President Donald J. Trump is set to attend the private funeral of firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was killed while protecting his family during an assassination attempt against the former president last weekend in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Comperatore was among those supporting Trump at a campaign rally when gunfire erupted from a nearby rooftop. The shooter grazed Trump’s right ear while fatally injuring Comperatore and severely wounding two others. The assailant, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, was subsequently killed.

Responding to inquiries about Trump‘s attendance at Comperatore’s funeral, a source close to the former President affirmed, “Of course he is.”

Earlier this week, Trump personally reached out to Comperatore’s wife to offer his condolences. Helen Comperatore shared on Facebook that Trump was compassionate during their conversation and assured her of continued support in the coming days.

Comperatore, a father of two, was the fire chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company in Sarver, Pennsylvania. He died while shielding his wife and daughter from Crooks’s gunfire. Since his tragic death, a GoFundMe launched for Comperatore’s wife has garnered over $1.2 million in donations.

The private funeral service is scheduled to take place Thursday, marking a somber occasion as family, friends, and community members gather to honor Comperatore’s life and sacrifice. Since the shooting, many have criticized the United States Secret Service (USSS), but despite admitting failures, the head of the agency, Kimberly Cheatle, has ruled out resigning.

She claims the slightly sloped roof of the building where the shooter took his shots was deemed too risky to post agents. Several law enforcement sources across Pennsylvania contradicted Director Cheatle, and said they had observed Crooks at least 26 minutes prior to the shooting and sent the information up the command chain.
