Melania & Eric Trump Sound Alarm Over ‘Hidden’ Details of Trump Assassination Attempt.

Eric and Melania Trump have raised grave concerns about the investigation into the July 2023 assassination attempt on Donald Trump, suggesting key details are being concealed from the public. Melania Trump, normally private and reserved, released a video expressing deep dissatisfaction with the way the situation has been handled.

“The attempt to end my husband’s life was a horrible, distressing experience,” she said. “Now, the silence around it feels heavy. I can’t help but wonder: Why didn’t law enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech? There is definitely more to this story, and we need to uncover the truth.”

Her statement referred to the July 13th incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, when 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks fired eight rounds during one of Donald Trump’s rallies. One of the bullets struck Trump’s right ear, causing profuse bleeding and almost killing the 45th President.

Though Crooks was shot and killed by a Secret Service sniper, Melania’s recent remarks imply that the investigation may have left critical questions unanswered. The shooter’s motives remain “unknown,” and while Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned shortly after the incident, taking responsibility for the security failure, the Trump family suggests that this may not be the end of the story.

Eric Trump followed Melania’s lead, posting on social media shortly after her video was released. “I want answers as well,” he wrote. “Something is being hidden.” This statement adds fuel to the growing speculation within Trump’s circle that certain details have not been fully disclosed to the public.

As public pressure mounts, law enforcement agencies may face increasing calls for more transparency on the assassination attempt and Crooks’ potential motivations. The Trump family’s insistence on uncovering the truth continues to raise questions about what, if anything, remains hidden from public view.

Biden & Harris Issued 300 Executive Orders to ERASE America’s Border.

The Biden-Harris government has issued nearly 300 executive orders to implement its mass immigration and open-border policies, according to Senator John Kennedy (R-LA). Additionally, the Louisiana Republican stressed this all occurred during Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s first year in office.

“Reminder: The Biden-Harris White House wrote nearly 300 executive orders to open our border in just their FIRST YEAR in office,” Kennedy wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

Senior officials in the Biden-Harris government have repeatedly attempted to obfuscate their role in the ongoing illegal immigration crisis at the U.S. southern border. The National Pulse reported that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, during a recent interview, attempted to evade blame for Americans who’ve been murdered by illegal immigrants released into the country by his agency.

300 EXECUTIVE ACTIONS.

The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) released a study in January 2022 stating that President Biden took 296 executive actions on immigration during his first year. MPI analysts Muzaffar Chishti and Jessica Bolter noted that these actions included reversing or beginning to undo 89 Trump-era policies, which restricted the ability of illegal immigrants to enter or be released into the country.

“Biden’s actions greatly narrowed the number of unauthorized immigrants vulnerable to arrest, detention, and removal, lifted some barriers to U.S. entry and accessing immigration benefits, and raised the refugee resettlement ceiling to 125,000,” MPI’s report states.

In the early days of the Biden-Harris government, immigrant rights activists pressured the White House to move more quickly in rolling back former President Donald J. Trump’s actions to secure the U.S. border. However, the pro-mass immigration campaign did not stop after a year. In January of this year, senior officials from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency held discussions with an activist group, the Detention Watch Network, which aims to abolish immigration detention in the United States.

Debate Prep: Trump vs. Kamala.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will face off tonight in their first (and likely only) presidential debate.

The logistics: Tonight’s debate is hosted by ABC News and broadcast live from the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at 9 PM ET.

  • The moderators are David Muir and Linsey Davis.
  • The event will last 90 minutes.

The rules: Despite desperate attempts by the Kamala campaign to change the rules at the last minute, this debate format will abide by the original agreement, which includes:

  • Both candidates must stand.
  • No pre-written notes allowed.
  • Muting mics of candidates not speaking.
  • No live audience.

Different debate prep styles: The NY Times reports that Kamala has been conducting “highly choreographed” debate prep on a mock debate stage with staffers dressed up as Donald Trump. Trump, on the other hand, is opting for more informal debate prep, with his staff peppering him with questions as he goes about his normal schedule.

  • Notably, Tulsi Gabbard, who embarrassed Kamala on the debate stage in 2020, has been very involved in Trump’s debate prep.

What Trump wants: Trump wants to focus on Kamala’s “dangerously liberal” record (eliminating private health insurance, decriminalizing illegal immigration, ending fracking) and tie her to the failures of the Biden regime [open borders, inflation, woke policies in schools].

What Kamala wants: Expect two areas of focus for Kamala. She’ll likely try to distance herself from many of Biden’s failed policies. And she’ll attempt to coerce Trump into becoming combative so that the focus is on his temperament rather than policy.

What can we expect from ABC News? Bias. An analysis from the Media Research Center looked at all ABC News coverage since Kamala replaced Biden on July 21 and found its reporting on her was 100 percent positive versus just seven percent positive reporting on Trump.

Big picture: Americans know who Trump is. He engages with the media on both sides of the political aisle. Kamala, on the other hand, has only sat down for one interview since replacing Joe Biden. And a recent poll found that 28 percent of voters say they need to know more about her, compared to just 9 percent for Trump. So, the primary goal of tonight’s debate for both candidates is to define what Kamala Harris represents.

State Supreme Court Orders Key Swing State to Remove RFK Jr. from Ballots.

The North Carolina Supreme Court ruled Monday to remove former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from state ballots before the general election. The 4-3 ruling upholds a previous appellate court decision mandating Kennedy’s removal, reversing an earlier, lower court verdict denying his removal request. Ballots will now need to be reprinted.

The ruling cites the state constitution’s Free Elections Clause to justify removing Kennedy from the ballot, emphasizing the need to prevent voter confusion and potential disenfranchisement. This marks a win for Kennedy after an earlier setback in Michigan, where the state supreme court ruled that he must remain on Michigan ballots, overturning an appeal court decision that he should be removed.

Kennedy dropped out of the race in several swing states and endorsed former President Donald Trump in August, believing his presence on ballots could enable a Kamala Harris win.

“Instead of showing us her substance and character, the DNC and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for Vice President Harris based on nothing. No policies, no interviews, no debates, only smoke and mirrors and balloons in a highly-produced circus,” Kennedy said of the Democratic candidate.

He blasted his former party’s “resort to censorship, media control, and weaponization of federal agencies,” warning Harris “will be an enthusiastic advocate for this and other neocon military adventures” as President.

WATCH: New Kamala Ad Leans on Wildly Unpopular Pence, Bolton, & Milley.

Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign is embracing the anti-Trump narrative of the ‘uniparty’ political class in a new television spot. It features comments made by former Vice President Mike Pence, former National Security Advisor John Bolton, and retired General Mark Milley. What voter demographic the message is meant to appeal to is unclear, as Pence, Bolton, Milley, and others cited in the one-minute-long ad spot are all deeply unpopular among average American voters.

The political class’s backing of Harris ahead of November’s election could become a political liability for the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee. With the likes of Iraq War architect and former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, former Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY), endorsing Harris, the Democrats risk becoming the embodiment of an unpopular political and economic status quo.

Pence, an afterthought candidate during the 2020 presidential primary, denounced the populist political message that saw Republicans win the White House in 2016 late last year. Meanwhile, Bolton admitted in April this year that he wrote in Dick Cheney on his 2020 presidential ballot. The former Vice President to George W. Bush, Cheney was the champion of the disastrous U.S. invasion of Iraq that cost thousands of American lives and directly resulted in Iranian influence and terror proxies expanding throughout the Middle East.

As for Milley, the retired general has spent his time out of the military cashing in lucrative speaking fees and consulting contracts through his uniparty contacts. The National Pulse reported in March that global banking giant JPMorgan Chase has retained Milley as a senior adviser — most likely to advocate for the company’s interests on Pentagon-related matters.

ABC News Reporters Have ‘100% Positive Spin Score’ for Kamala, 7% for Trump.

A Media Research Center (MRC) analysis reveals that ABC, set to host the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on Tuesday, is more pro-Harris than any comparable evening newscast and overwhelmingly negative towards Trump. Analysts reviewed 100 World News Tonight campaign reports aired from July 21, when Harris declared her candidacy, to September 6, finding Harris received 25 distinctly positive comments and no negative remarks from ABC’s reporters, anchors, or non-partisan sources—a 100 percent positive spin rate.

Trump’s ABC coverage included only five positive comments against 66 negative statements, giving him a 7 percent positive and 93 percent negative spin score. CBS and NBC also strongly favored Harris, with CBS’s coverage being 94 percent positive and NBC’s 71 percent. Trump’s coverage at CBS and NBC was 77 percent and 86 percent negative, respectively. Still, neither was as uniformly positive for Harris as ABC.

ABC did not label Harris as “liberal” or “progressive” even once. This is despite the fact she once rated as the most liberal senator in Congress, ahead of even Bernie Sanders, and has backed far-left policies such as decriminalizing illegal border crossings.

ABC consistently highlighted Trump’s controversies but downplayed negative stories related to Harris. For example, it did not report on an adultery incident involving Harris’s husband that was mentioned, albeit briefly, by CBS and NBC.

David Muir, a moderator of the Trump-Harris debate, is the managing editor of World News Tonight.

Trump describes ABC as “by far the nastiest and most unfair newscaster in the business.” However, it is the only network Harris has agreed to debate on, refusing Fox News and, so far, even NBC.

ABC executive Dana Walden and her husband are close personal friends of Harris and her husband. Harris has previously said the Waldens, who have been donating to her since 2003, are “In many ways… responsible for my marriage.”

REPORT: Trump Victory Will Send Bitcoin to $90K While Kamala’s Win Would HALVE The Price.

Bitcoin could soar to a new high of $90,000 by the fourth quarter if former President Donald J. Trump is reelected in November, according to research by Bernstein. However, the brokers warn that if Vice President Kamala Harris succeeds Joe Biden, the cryptocurrency could crash to $30,000.

“After the last three years of regulatory purge, a positive crypto regulatory policy can spur innovation again and bring the users back to financial products on the blockchain,” the researchers said, stressing Trump’s commitment to making the United States the “Bitcoin and crypto capital of the world.”

Speaking at The Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, in July, Trump committed to creating a “strategic national Bitcoin reserve,” comparing the nascent crypto industry to the steel industry of a century ago and predicting it will probably “overtake gold” in the future.

“There’s never been anything like it,” he said. Bernstein also notes that Vice President Harris has never referenced crypto in her speeches, in contrast to Trump.

Mining Bitcoin is energy-intensive—an issue Trump recognizes, saying low-cost energy is key to achieving his ambition to center mining operations in the U.S. Meanwhile, Harris’s support of the Green New Deal and net zero government policies would likely harm the cryptocurrency industry.

In June, BTC Inc. CEO David Bailey said he plans on “raising over $100 million and turning out more than 5,000,000 voters” for Trump.

Tulsi: ‘A Vote for Kamala Is a Vote for Dick Cheney.’

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) says former Vice President Dick Cheney’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris should have “made the choice” in November “very clear” to Democratic and independent voters: “A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for Dick Cheney, the architect of everything that has gone wrong in the Middle East for the last few decades.”

Gabbard, a veteran of the Iraq War, condemned Harris’s response to the Cheney endorsement at a Colorado Springs event hosted by Tucker Carlson. “Her response to the Dick Cheney announcement… was that she was honored to have his endorsement, and we got military veterans in the house, got a lot of you who probably served in the Middle East like I did, and so it sickened me, Tucker, to read those words today from Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, and Kamala Harris because we have people who we care very much about who were killed in those wars because of Dick Cheney,” she said.

While Gabbard enlisted in the National Guard while already serving in the Hawaii State Legislature, deploying to Iraq and Kuwait, Cheney never served in uniform, securing five draft deferments during the Vietnam War.

Gabbard, a 2020 candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, endorsed former President Donald J. Trump at the National Guard Association of the United States General Conference in August. “I know that President Trump understands the grave responsibility that a President and Commander in Chief bears for every single one of our lives,” she said, expressing confidence that “his first task will be to do the work to walk us back from the brink of war.”

She and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., another former Democrat, now serve on Trump’s transition team.

Gavin Newsom Relatives Hosting Big Money Fundraiser for Trump.

Relatives of far-left California Governor Gavin Newsom are hosting a major fundraiser for Donald Trump in the Bay Area on September 13. Tom Siebel, a relative of Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, will host the event. Tickets are going for up to $500,000 per couple.

Tom Siebel is not the first Newsom family connection to the political right. Newsom’s father-in-law, Ken Siebel, registered as a Republican in Florida, and a trust connected to the Siebel family donated $5,000 to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in 2022.

However, when DeSantis suggested the Siebels had fled the Golden State for the Sunshine State to escape Newsom’s policies during a debate, Ken Siebel dismissed the Florida Governor as a “slimeball.”

California has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1988, and Joe Biden won with over 60 percent of the vote in 2020. Nevertheless, the Republican minority is significant in purely numerical terms, with more people voting for Trump in California than in Texas, and the state plays a substantial role in GOP fundraising. Alongside the Siebel fundraiser, former President Trump is attending another event at a currently undisclosed Los Angeles location on September 12, with tickets going for up to $250,000. On Sunday, Trump’s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, sold out a Los Angeles fundraiser alongside former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

NOT ALONE. 

Newsom is not the only high-profile Democrat whose relatives prefer Trump to Kamala Harris. Jeff Walz, older brother of Democratic vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz, says he is “100 percent opposed to all his [brother’s] ideology.”

“The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future,” Jeff Walz added.

Eight members of the Walz family in the Minnesota Democrat’s native Nebraska subsequently posed in ‘Nebraska Walz’s for Trump’ T-shirts.
