Yep, the first step in killing cockroaches is illuminating them so you can hit them with pesticide.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Trump's memory concerning people that shit on him!!

I appreciate Trump calling Kemp out for those of us in Georgia who had to watch our state flip to Biden in the middle of the night.

I don't disagree that Kemp screwed the dog on many of the post-2020 election issues.

But to govern, you have to be elected, and this kind of squabbling doesn't help that. The base for Trump is already solidly DJT. All this does is discourage the "middle" that we need-- the same "middle" that the Dems are abandoning, and we should be scooping up easily-- from doing ANYTHING, including showing up to vote.

I respect your opinion but we need to fight dirty and brutal.

No more being nice. If you’re a cockroach and a backstabbing POS then it’s incumbent upon all of us to make sure as many people as possible know.

This is how transparency works.

This Kemp thing ain't going to register shit with the moderates and independents, they won't care. The only thing they care about is how much groceries are, price of gas, illegals pouring into their cities. Nothing else matters except for those on the very far left.

Ronald Reagan A.I. Narrates Latest Trump Campaign Ad

The campaign for former President Donald Trump released a new one-minute commercial this week with narration from former President Ronald Reagan.

The ad starts with the introduction "Please welcome President Ronald Reagan, who has a few questions" before going to a retro-style television featuring an overlay of Reagan as he begins speaking behind a podium.

"A lot of you will go to the polls and stand there in the polling place and make a decision," Reagan begins.

The campaign for former President Donald Trump released a new one-minute commercial this week with narration from former President Ronald Reagan.

The ad starts with the introduction "Please welcome President Ronald Reagan, who has a few questions" before going to a retro-style television featuring an overlay of Reagan as he begins speaking behind a podium.

"A lot of you will go to the polls and stand there in the polling place and make a decision," Reagan begins.


Under a graphic that reads, "U.S. Incomes Fall for Third Straight Year," from a Wall Street Journal headline of September 2023, Reagan says, "I think when you make that decision it might be well if you would ask yourself, 'Are you better off than you were four years ago?'"

Next, a Forbes headline reads, "Grocery Prices are 30% Higher Than Four Years Ago," while Reagan asks, "It is easier for you to go and buy things in the store than it was four years ago?"

A Reuters headline from July then appears, reading, "U.S. Labor Market Loses Steam as Unemployment Rate Climbs," while Regan continues, "Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago?"

Over an image of Afghans racing to catch the last transport plane during the fall of Kabul, Afghanistan, in September 2021, a headline from Foreign Affairs reads, "Allies No Longer Trust the United States." Reagan then asks, "Is America as respected throughout the world as it was?"

Under video of the wall at the U.S. southern border and a headline that reads, "U.S. at Highest Possible Terrorist Threat," Reagan asks, "Do you feel that our security is as safe, that we're as strong as we were four years ago?"

Finally, under images of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, Reagan says, "If you don't think that this course we've been on the last four years is what you would like to see us follow the next four, then I could suggest another choice that you have."

The video ends with a picture of a young Trump shaking hands with Reagan and the voice of an AI narrator concluding, "President Trump. He'll make America great again."

FBI let suspect in plot to kill Trump into U.S. on parole despite terror ties, Iran trip, memos show

https://justthenews.com/govern..._campaign=newsletter

The FBI allowed Asif Raza Merchant, the Pakistani man charged with plotting with Tehran to assassinate Donald Trump and others, to enter the U.S. in April with special permission known as “significant public benefit parole” even though he was flagged on a terrorism watchlist and recently traveled to Iran, according to government documents reviewed by Just the News.

The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force interviewed Merchant, fingerprinted him and inspected the contents of his electronic devices when he arrived at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport, in Houston, but then let him leave with the special parole that expired on May 11, the memos states.

“Subject was polite and cooperative throughout encounter,” the FBI interview memo reads. “... Subject's notable travel outside of country of citizenship includes a recent trip to Iran.”

Merchant wasn't arrested until July 12, after a confidential human source ascertained he had tried to line up assassins and was planning to leave the United States, the FBI said.

The memos add a new twist to an assassination plot that was uncovered before Trump was shot by a 20-year-old American in Butler, Pa., but not announced until earlier this week. Authorities say they don't believe there is connection between the two assassinations plots.

The FBI declined to comment about the documents obtained by Just the News. But, the JTTF interview summary and immigration records give some rich detail about what the bureau knew before it allowed Merchant to enter the country and what conditions they placed on his entry.

The immigration records from his arrival in Houston on April 13 clearly stated in bright red that he was flagged by the Department of Homeland Security database with the identifier “WATCH LIST” and denoted as a "Lookout Qualified Person of Interest."

Despite direct travel to a country with known terrorist activity, the memo relays that Merchant was “released without incident” into the United States and was “free to travel to desired destination,” which was listed as a family member's home in Texas.

Law enforcement officials who alerted Just the News to the FBI's role in April compared the parole decision to an earlier law enforcement controversy known as the "Fast and Furious" scandal in which federal agents allowed U.S. guns to flow to Mexican cartels in hopes of tracking crimes.

The parole in Merchant's case, the officials said, would allow agents to try to flip Merchant as a cooperator or try to determine why he was coming to the United States and who he might be working with. But such tactics also carried a risk that agents might lose track of him, the officials said.

The records show that Merchant was allowed to stay in the country beyond the May 11 expiration date for his parole.

While there is no statutory or regulatory definition of a public benefit parole, according to the DHS, a variety of factors can be used to determine whether a subject qualifies, and the status is extended based on a benefit to the public, not the individual.

“Parole based on significant public benefit includes, but is not limited to, law enforcement and national security reasons or foreign or domestic policy considerations,” the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website says.

The Justice Department says Merchant tried to hire an individual for an assassination plot shortly after he entered the country in April and that individual become a confidential informant for law enforcement after reporting the contact.

Merchant reportedly asked the informant about various methods to carry out an assassination attempt.

He also told the confidential source that the planned assassination would occur after he left the United States and that he would communicate with the individual to relay instructions. However, law enforcement intercepted Merchant before he left the country.

After the charges against Merchant were announced earlier this week, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency issued a new warning Wednesday to its field offices that Iran or its proxy groups may try to transport “operatives, money or materials” across both the southern and northern U.S. borders to carry out attacks on the United States.

In the memo, which was obtained by Just the News, the CBP’s Office of Field Operations directed agency personnel to take a “heightened posture due to ongoing security threats,” including against possible attacks on the United States mirroring the recent Iran-backed Hezbollah rocket attack on an Israeli town in the Golan Heights.

The memo also warned that heightened tensions across the Middle East due to Israel’s retaliation for the Golan Heights strike – the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran’s capital – increased the risk of a terror attack in the United States.

The memo specifically urged CBP personnel to implement “hardening measures” at ports of entry such as the airport in Houston where Merchant arrived and was subsequently released into the country.

Merchant was ultimately arrested on July 12 as he attempted to make arrangements to leave the country.

Prosecutors unsealed a complaint against him earlier this week, charging him with organizing a “murder-for-hire” plot in a scheme to assassinate U.S. politicians or government officials. Justice Department and FBI officials said Merchant was working “on behalf of others overseas” and pointed the finger at Iran.

“This dangerous murder-for-hire plot exposed in today’s charges allegedly was orchestrated by a Pakistani national with close ties to Iran and is straight out of the Iranian playbook,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement. “A foreign-directed plot to kill a public official, or any U.S. citizen, is a threat to our national security and will be met with the full might and resources of the FBI.”

Though Trump, a former GOP president running for reelection in 2024, was not named in the complaint directly, sources confirmed to ABC News that he was one of the intended targets.

The revelation that Merchant was stopped at a port of entry but permitted to enter the United States, even with terror ties, follows a report from the House Judiciary Committee that found the Biden administration’s DHS released 99 individuals on the terrorist watch list into the country between fiscal years 2021 and 2023 and has 34 others in custody who have not yet been removed.

During those years, Border Patrol encountered individuals from 36 different countries with an active terrorist presence, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Kyrgyzstan, Mauritania, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkey, Uzbekistan and Yemen, the report says.

In June, eight men from Tajikistan were arrested in coordinated sting operations across the United States because their suspected ties to the Islamic State terror group. All eight of the suspects crossed the southern border, but their criminal background checks were clean when they crossed, NBC News reported.

Bet she only wants to do the latter 2 because, early voting and Fox.

Screw the legacy media, lets have a debate setup by Musk on X, with no legacy media pundits or talking heads with agendas allowed to moderate, lets get 4 moderators from various non legacy media to do the questions.

This would have worldwide viewership, hundreds of millions of people, unmoderated by one side, fair open questions, real time interaction, be the biggest event on the internet...

Just one more example of why the FBI is a domestic terrorist organization.

Police Release New Bodycam Footage From Trump Shooting, Showing Rooftop Incident



Bodycam footage from a local Pennsylvania officer who tried to get on the roof where a man shot at former President Donald Trump last month was released on Thursday.

The footage shows the moment an officer with the Butler Township Police Department tried to get on the roof of a building where suspected gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks was perched. Another officer helped lift the responding officer to the roof after rally attendees alerted police that there was an individual on the roof near the rally where Trump was set to speak.
In the clip, an officer is seen moving toward a building before another officer tries to hoist him onto the roof. The officer is then seen trying to climb onto the building before he drops down.

Only officers’ hands are seen as he tries to get onto the roof in the video, which does not show Crooks.

Butler Township Police Department Lt. Matthew Pearson last month told a local Pennsylvania news outlet that the officer was not able to draw his firearm because he was holding onto the building. And Butler County Sheriff Michael Slupe told the New York Post last month that the officers who interrupted Crooks may have distracted the shooter before he shot at the former president, hitting him in the ear.

“If I’m interrupted, and I move my gun, you are going to have to reassess that whole situation at this point, so yes, you can make a case that those two officers saved the president’s life,” Slupe told the paper.

He then asked, “Can you imagine 10 seconds before that? That the president was looking straight ahead and where that bullet could have potentially landed.”

More than three weeks after the assassination attempt, federal officials have not disclosed the Crooks’s motive. So far, few details have emerged about the suspect, and his family has not issued a public statement responding to the incident.

cont...

^^^I thought the 'story' was that the local LEO that got boosted up to the roof had come down hard when Crooks pointed his rifle at him and injured (severely?) his ankle. Per the body cam video by the LEO in question, he certainly seems to be plenty mobile/ambulatory after that occurred. Make you go hmmm, because that's what they told us!

^^ By now we'd all forget that.

It could be true, adrenaline is a remarkable substance. Of course, after it wears off and the pain begins is when you can barely move.

^^ Oh, I get it...I've gotten injured, played injured, etc, but that's NOT the 'story' that was reported to the public! In the body cam video it looks like he runs about 75 yards or so (maybe more!) without issue, and doesn't seem to be favoring a leg either. Usually, by the time you've run a little bit on an injury, especially an ankle, it's gonna starting to show in your gait, regardless of whether you're pushing through some pain or not.

No, you are right, I distinctly remember reading they reported the cop who was hoisted up, fell back and basically broke both feet or ankles or something. Does not appear to be the case at all.

Luckily his surprising the shooter was what it took for him to be rushed/off and miss Trump.

Not really. Had Trump not turned his head he would have made a solid shot. The only person that “saved Trump” was Trump himself.

Yeah, his first shot would've been a kill shot.

And regarding the cop that was hoisted up, they also said he fell like 8 feet. Bulllllshit.
