Brandon Judd, President of the National Border Patrol Council, has revealed he made Vice President Kamala Harris fully aware of the policies required to end the illegalimmigration crisis, but she “refused” to implement them.
“Kamala Harris knows what she needs to do. I was there, I gave her all of the policies she needed, all of them, and she refused to implement them,” Judd said at a rally for former former President Donald J. Trump in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Thursday.
“She does not care about you, she does not care about the safety of this country. He does,” Judd said, indicating former President Trump. “This is the man for the presidency.”
Harris was put in charge of the border by Joe Biden in 2021—although she and her media allies are now downplaying her “border czar” role, claiming she is only responsible for the “root causes” of illegal immigration in the “Northern Triangle” of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
She has not been successful even in this limited remit, however.

Despite once being rated the most liberal Democratic senator, Vice President Kamala Harris is selling herself to independents as a moderate former prosecutor without the anti-law enforcement, defund-the-police baggage that weighs down much of her party. Former President Donald J. Trump argues this is spin and that she is a soft-on-crime radical.
“Now that she’s running for President, Kamala‘s suddenly trying to transform her personality to pretend she’s tough on crime,” Trump said at a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina. “In fact, Kamala Harris was the original Marxist district attorney. She was the first of them… You hear all about them in Philadelphia, in Los Angeles. She was the first; she was worse than any of them,” he argued.
The America First leader said Harris supports ending cash bail—”If you murder somebody, just go home and relax, murder another couple of people—as well as “stripping police officers of legal protections” and “ending jail sentences for parole violators.”
Trump stressed that, in 2020, Harris “helped raise $35 million to bail out criminals released from jail after they shot at our police, looted stores, sexually assaulted innocent victims, and committed many other very serious crimes.”
He cited Shawn Michael Tillman as one of the beneficiaries of the Harris-backed bailout fund. Tillman is “a repeat offender who, with Harris’s help, was set free. He then went on to murder a man on a train platform in St. Paul, Minnesota.”
“Kamala Harris wants to be the President for savage criminals, illegal aliens. I will be the President for law-abiding Americans of every race, religion, color, and creed,” Trump vowed.

A new survey conducted by Reuters on Monday and Tuesday, after 81-year-old Democrat incumbent Joe Biden announced he would not seek reelection, shows Vice President Kamala Harris running two points ahead of former President Donald J. Trump, the 2024 Republican nominee. The poll suggests the 2024 presidential election could be tightening, with Harris now at the top of the Democratic ticket.
However, the Reuters poll—conducted by Ipsos—has received some pushback. Critics point to Reuters having historically oversampled Democrats in their surveys, leading to a significant polling error during the 2016 presidential election. In the current poll by Reuters and Ipsos, 426 Democrats were reached for a response, while just 376 Republican responses were registered. The Reuters oversample of Democrats versus Republicans in 2016 ran roughly four to six percent.
In addition to accusations of sample bias, others point to the expectation that Harris would rise in the polls in part because of Biden’s exit from the race and her being viewed as a fresh candidate—especially by disillusioned Democrat voters. A polling surge by Harris, in this instance, could be only temporary, with the presidential race returning to its prior dynamics after the Harris honeymoon phase fades.
“That bump is likely to start showing itself over the next few days and will last for a while,” pollster Tony Fabrizio, a Trumpcampaign pollster, noted in a memo circulated to press members.
However, the survey contains some data points that are concerning for Trump supporters. Voters view Harris as more mentally sharp than Biden and Trump. According to the data, 56 percent of respondents said Harris was “mentally sharp and able to deal with challenges.” Meanwhile, 49 percent said the same for former President Trump.

Christopher Wray, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), for the first time confirmed that former President Donald J. Trump was the intended target of would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks. According to Wray, the images of Joe Biden, Fani Willis, and other public officials found on Crooks’s electronic devices were merely cached images from news articles the 20-year-old gunman had read, and do not seem to be part of a target list.
In the week following the July 13 assassination attempt against former President Trump, multiple corporate mediaoutlets, including CNN and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reported that law enforcement had photos of Biden, Willis, and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Crooks’s cell phone. The reports insinuated that these public officials were also likely targets of the shooter and that the attack on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, was merely one of opportunity.
CACHED IMAGES AND JFK’S ASSASSINATION.
However, the FBI director’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday has thrown cold water on the media’s misconstrual of Crooks’s intentions.
“The images that we’ve recovered so far from… appeared to be what we call cached images from searches of news articles,” Wray told the committee. “So if you do a news article search, of course, images—if there are photos on it—those photos get stored automatically in your cache, as opposed to… him searching for a specific person and getting up images of that person.”
Wray also noted that the shooter had searched how far Lee Harvey Oswald was positioned from President John F. Kennedy when fatally shot the late president in Dallas on November 22, 1963.
Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA), citing the reports of additional photos of public officials found on Crooks’s devices, still pressed Wray as to whether there were more targets.
“From that, any indication of any other particular target that is someone who was not just the subject of the search issue you just described but for which there was more of an interest than others?” asked Schiff, who was a ringleader of the Russia hoax scandal.
Wray responded, shaking his head ‘no,’ that the “information I just described, at the moment, does not appear particularly indicative of targeting in its own right.”

Christopher Wray, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), says investigators currently believe Donald J. Trump‘s would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was not just shootingdrone footage of the rally site in Butler, Pennsylvania, prior to the attack but actually live streaming the feed—potentially to unknown individuals.
Speaking to the House Judiciary Committee about the assassination attempt, Wray confirmed: “We have recovered a drone that the shooter appears to have used… The drone was recovered in his vehicle.”
“[I]t appears that around 3:50 PM, 4 o’clock, in that window, on the day of the shooting, that the shooter was flying the drone around the area… Not over the stage and that part of the area, [but] around 200 yards, give or take, away from [the stage]. We think, but we do not know… that he was live streaming, you know, viewing the footage,” Wray added.
As of the time of publication, Wray has not revealed the platform where Crooks is believed to have streamed this footage.
Wray also said there were three explosive devices recovered, two from Crooks’s vehicle and one from his residence.
“We’ve seen more sophisticated and less [sophisticated devices]. I would say these were relatively, again, key word relatively, crude, but they did have the ability to be detonated remotely,” he said.
FBI Director Wray says that Thomas Crooks, the attempted Trump assassin, was flying a drone about 200 yds from the stage where Trump spoke about two hours before the rally, “live streaming.”

A whistleblower has come forward to allege that “at least one” law enforcement official was assigned to the roof where a would-be assassin shot Donald Trump but abandoned their post because of the hot weather.
Back up: On July 13, former President Trump survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania when a shooter gained access to a roof roughly 130 years away.
The details: Republican Senator Josh Hawley posted a letter on X, which he sent to the impeached Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, revealing disturbing details that whistleblowers have revealed to him:
“[T]he whistleblower alleges that at least one individual was specifically assigned to the roof for the duration of the rally, but this person abandoned his or her post due to the hot weather.”
“The whistleblower further alleges that concerns over the heat prompted law enforcement to forego patrolling Building 6 and instead to station security personnel inside the building.”
Follow the chain: The Department of Homeland Security, which has failed to secure the southern border, also oversees the U.S. Secret Service.
Zoom out: On the same day Hawley released his letter, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle testified before the House Oversight Committee, where she was grilled by a bipartisan group of lawmakers over the failure to protect former President Trump.
What happens next? Hawley, in his letter, calls on Mayorkas to confirm if the whistleblower’s allegations are accurate and, if so, reveal when the post was abandoned. Additionally, Hawley has requested that the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee conduct its own investigation.

Monday’s House Oversight Committee hearing regarding the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump evolved into a rare moment of near-bipartisan unity as lawmakers demanded United States Secret Service (USSS) Director Kimberly Cheatle resign. As Cheatle‘s questioning progressed through the morning and early afternoon, committee members became increasingly alarmed by the lack of information Cheatle was willing to provide and her seeming incompetence.
Cheatle—who from 2019 to 2022 served as the global director of security for PepsiCo.—sat for nearly four and a half hours as lawmakers peppered her with questions regarding the lapses in security that resulted in a 20-year-old shooter being able to get within 200 yards of Trump and nearly assassinate him. While the hearing could have been an opportunity to assuage concerns on Capitol Hill and among the American public, Cheatle offered little transparency.
Calls for Cheatle’s resignation were nearly unanimous, although Representative Pete Sessions (R-TX) stopped short of demanding she step down and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) avoided the conversation altogether.
Three exchanges between lawmakers and Cheatle best summarize the hearing overall.
CHEATLE’S EGO EXPOSED.
Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) engaged in one of the most aggressive pushes among the lawmakers regarding Cheatle‘s resistance to calls for her resignation from the USSS. The Flordia Democrat asked: “You said there’s going to be accountability. I understand that you don’t want to give us names. When you say that, are you telling the committee that once [the investigation] is concluded, that you’re prepared to fire the people on the ground who made poor decisions that day?”
Cheatle attempted to dodge the question, saying she was prepared to “take the actions necessary” before Moskowitz intervened and pressed again if she would fire those who failed in their duties. Again, Cheatle offered only a non-answer.
The USSS director’s lack of candor instigated a telling question from Moskowitz, who had grown frustrated with Cheatle. “Let me ask this question a different way. If Trump had been assassinated that day, if the gunman had succeeded, would you have come and tendered your resignation?” he asked.
Cheatle responded: “I would still be sitting here because I would want to ensure the integrity of the investigation.”
While Moskowitz acknowledged that it was fair that she would want to set the process in motion, he pressed again, asking if she would have acknowledged the need for new leadership at the USSS if “a president was assassinated on [her] watch.” Cheatle, as she had done throughout the hearing, refused to give a direct response.

Next, Cheatle struggled to give an honest answer to Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) regarding evidence and information that had been communicated to her by officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Tired of Cheatle’s non-answers, Rep. McClain told the USSS director the best way to keep her job was to answer the questions honestly and “not play this shell game.”
When pressed on when she began preparing for the hearing, Cheatle couldn’t offer a date, leaving the Michigan Republican exasperated. McClain then asked Cheatle if she’d communicated with the FBI and with whom. At first, the USSS director would not answer as to what FBI officials she was communicating with, though she eventually relented and acknowledged she had spoken with the agency’s director and deputy director.
“How many shell casings were on the roof?” Rep. McClain asked Cheatle, noting the USSS director had acknowledged that the FBI had given her an exact number despite the fact she had declined to answer in her earlier testimony. Cheatle responded: “I would refer to the FBI.”
McClain again asked how many shell casings were found on the roof where the assassin was positioned. Again, Cheatle referred the Congresswoman to the FBI—refusing to share information with the committee.

Cheatle: “I’m not covering anything up.”

The final exchange with Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) was the most telling of the day. The Florida Republican questioned why the USSS had not held a single press conference informing the American public as to updates regarding the attempted assassination of former President Trump. Cheatle acknowledged that neither she nor Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas had held a single press conference.
“This is how misinformation flies in the darkness. In the absence of information,” Rep. Waltz said of the lack of public transparency from the USSS. He continued: “Are you aware that national news anchors are saying this was a hoax? On national television, they’re saying, ‘No, the president wasn’t shot; it was flying glass.’ Are you aware of that?”
Cheatle responded: ” I have not heard those reports.”
“Are you aware that there are rumors rampant online that there were multiple shooters?” Waltz pressed, with Cheatle responding: “Yes.”
“Are you aware that because the shooter had overseas encrypted platforms in Belgium, New Zealand, and Germany, that a lot of people are speculating there could have been foreign involvement? Logically?” he asked Cheatle, with the USSS director admitting she was aware.
“And have you done anything to disabuse any of these notions today?” the Florida Congressman asked before answering for Cheatle: “No.”

Reform Party leader Nigel Farage believes former President Donald J. Trump will be “delighted” to face Vice President Kamala Harris in November if she secures the Democratic nomination now Joe Biden has bowed out. He has also revealed the Trump family is “incandescent” at the security failures that allowed a gunman to open fire on the former president in Butler, Pennsylvania.
On Biden‘s exit from the race, Farage told British radio it had become “impossible” for the Democrats to sustain him as a viable contender. “The debate was bad enough; they managed to quell that, but… they couldn’t hide him in a bunker when it came to the NATO summit,” he said, recalling how Biden introduced Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin” and referred to Harris as “Vice President Trump.”
“Look, they’ve been covering up for this guy for years,” Farage said. “He’s not been up to the job for years… an incompetent man who, you know, is sadly past his sell-by date.”
TRUMP VS. HARRIS.
Farage believes Trump will be “delighted” to face Harris, whom Biden has endorsed, noting her lack of support when she ran against Biden for the Democrats’ 2020 nomination. He also notes her close association with the illegalimmigration crisis, with Biden having put her in charge of the border in 2021.
However, Farage predicts Harris will still secure the 2024 nomination without serious challenge, as he “cannot see the Democrat getting rid of a black African woman.”
Harris’s father is a Jamaican economist of African descent, and her late mother was an Indian medical researcher.
ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT.
Farage, who flew out to the Republican National Convention to support Trump after the attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, also revealed the Trump family is “incandescent with rage” at the security failures that allowed “a man with a rifle [to] get onto a roof 125 yards away” from the former president.
“[W]arnings [went] up from the crowd, from the police, and yet it takes Secret Service so long to act. No, the family were both upset and very, very angry,” he said.
VANCE.
Farage has kind words for Trump‘s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, describing him as embodying “the American Dream.”
“Growing up in abject poverty, drug addiction, fatherless home, and the guy joins the Marines and does well, goes to law school, goes into private equity. I mean, J.D. Vance is a huge success story,” he said.
“I’ve known Vance for over a decade, and he’s a very, very bright, impressive man.”

Los Angeles Magazine Editor-in-Chief Shirley Halperin has resigned after just over a year on the job amid reports the publication’s owners—Mark Geragos and Ben Meiselas—have failed to pay reporters, photographers, freelancers, and other vendors for their work. Meiselas co-founded the far-left, anti-Donald Trump MeidasTouch Network with his brothers Jordan and Brett, which has spread conspiracy theories regarding the former president and Republican lawmakers.
Responding to a report in The Wrap regarding Halperin’s resignation and the failure to pay staff and freelancers, the magazine offered a non-answer. “We are proud that Los Angeles Magazinewill have a profitable year in a challenging media environment, and circulation is way up,” Christopher Gialanella, the president and publisher of Los Angeles Magazine, said, adding: “We will be announcing our new Editor-In-Chief in the next two weeks.”
‘NO REGARD FOR MEDIA INDUSTRY.’
Ben Meiselas and his law partner Mark Geragos purchased Los Angeles Magazine in 2022 for an estimated $6 million. At the time of the purchase, the magazine was an unprofitable venture. Under Meiselas and Geragos, the magazine has continued to hemorrhage cash.
According to The Wrap, Greg Gilman—the executive editor for the magazine’s website—departed the publication last month over the failure to pay freelancers and the “lack of vision and strategy by new owners.” Meiselas and Geragos are said to have “little or no regard for journalists and media industry.”
The National Pulse has reported extensively on Ben Meiselas and his brothers’ MeidasTouch operation. Ron Filipkowski, Editor-in-Chief of the far-left network, has likened his organization’s behavior on social media to criminal arson, “dropping a burning ember in a dry forest” and creating a “big blaze” of fake news within hours. MeidasTouch popularized the “bloodbath” hoax against Trump, and has been praised by the Biden-Harris regime as their “front lines.”
Disgraced attorney and perjuror Michael Cohen is a regular contributor to the far-left website, which has received funding from Epstein Island visitor Reid Hoffman and the scandal-ridden Lincoln Project.

Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC) blasted United States Secret Service (USSS) Director Kimberly Cheatle during Monday’s House Oversight Committee hearing over the agency’s failures resulting in the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump on July 13, 2024. The South Carolina Republican opened her questioning by asking Cheatle if she would like her to use the five minutes of questioning to draft the USSS director’s resignation letter.
In a rapid-fire series of ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ questions, Mace hammered Cheatle, pressing her on whether the attempted assassination was a colossal failure. Cheatle attempted to demurely respond that “it was a failure.” However, Mace pushed back, insisting she answer ‘Yes’ or ‘No,’ with the USSS director finally relenting, “Yes.”
The heated exchange between Mace and Cheatle came to a head after the USSS director continued to give vague non-answers in an attempt to dodge the Congresswoman’s ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ enquiries.
“You’re full of shit today,” Mace bluntly told Cheatle after her patience with the USS director wore thin. The South Carolina Republican continued: “You’re just being completely dishonest.”
Additionally, Cheatle acknowledged that no one has been fired over the security lapse that nearly resulted in Trump‘s assassination.
Throughout the hearing, Cheatle refused to give direct or detailed responses to any of the questions by Members of Congress. The USSS director often hid behind the ongoing FBI investigation into the shooting—which resulted in the death of rallygoer and Trump supporter Corey Comperatore.
