Kamala’s Las Vegas Event Is Half Empty – The Entire Event Is Weird
by Joe Hoft
Kamala’s Las Vegas event is half empty – the entire event is weird.
This morning there was hardly anyone in line for Kamala’s event in Las Vegas today.
Over
the day some people did show up. You would likely not see these people
at Trump rallies. This is for sure. Kamala’s pick for VP, Tim Walz,
the radical governor who is busy destroying Minnesota, tried to brand JD Vance, President Trump’s VP nominee as weird.
The entire event in Las Vegas is weird.
Here is a group of Kamala radicals waiting to get in. They look like members of Antifa.
Here is a lady inside the event.
Here is another individual at the rally.
We don’t know who this is but this person looks tough.
Here are some attendees protecting themselves from COVID with masks.
Here
are some union employees. They must be receiving pay for attending
because the Biden/Harris/Obama gang is destroying their jobs and sending
them to China.
Here is another picture of the crowd.
This
is the Kamala crowd. And they say President Trump’s supporters are
weird? They will never win the election if this is their base.
(They sure found a way to have ID didn't they? Just anyone that wanted to vote right? JUST LIKE THE REST OF US !!)
Party that Opposes Voter ID Laws as Racist Required ID for Participants to Enter Harris Arizona Rally
by Margaret Flavin199 Comments
Although the left opposes voter ID and calls the effort to secure
American elections “racist,” they apparently have no problem requiring
ID for their events.
An email sent to the RSVP list for the Harris-Walz
rally in Arizona on Friday said participants must present a matching
government-issued photo ID to be admitted to the venue, KTAR reported.
So, requiring ID to vote is racist, but requiring ID to attend an event with Democrats is not?
In a 2021 interview with Soledad O’Brian, Harris talked about how “problematic” voter ID laws are.
“I don’t think that we should underestimate what that could mean.”
“Because in some people’s mind that means, well, you’re going to have
to Xerox or photocopy your ID to send it in to prove you are who you
are. Well, there are a whole lot of people, especially people who live
in rural communities, who don’t – there’s no Kinko’s, there’s no Office
Max near them.”
“People have to understand that when we’re talking about voter ID
laws, be clear about who you have in mind and what would be required of
them to prove who they are.”
Harris added, “Of course, people have to prove who they are. But not
in a way that makes it almost impossible for them to prove who they
are.”
Watch:
29. In an interview with Soledad O’Brian in 2021 when asked about Voter ID Harris gave the most ridiculous response.

So how did rallygoers “prove who they are” if it is almost impossible?

Eyewitness, Who Secretly
Recorded Interrogation with Police, Claims to Have Overheard Police
Radio Comms Mentioning ‘Blood in the Bathroom’ and ‘Second Shooter on
the Loose’ Following Trump Assassination Attempt
by Jim Hᴏft75 Comments
Disclaimer:
The content of this article is based on eyewitness accounts and
personal testimonies. It is intended for informational purposes only and
should not be taken as a definitive fact. Readers are encouraged to
form their own opinions and conduct further research if desired.
An eyewitness who was detained by the police on the day of the Trump
assassination attempt has come forward with explosive claims.
The witness claims that during his time in police custody, he
overheard alarming details on police radios that were not disclosed to
the public.
The witness, who goes by the name Dave James Stewart or
“realDJStew724” on YouTube, claims to have overheard police discussing
the presence of blood in a bathroom and a potential second shooter on
the loose.
Stewart first posted a video
on July 28, fifteen days after the shooting, that shows police reacting
to a perceived threat on the roof of the building several minutes
before the would-be assassin, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened
fire.
Two minutes before Crooks’ first shot, an officer could be seen with
his handgun drawn as he kept watch on the roof from the opposite side of
where Crooks turned out to be.
The man, who appears to be the same man in a suit later seen in
police bodycam video talking with officers on the roof guarding Crooks’
body, just wanted to photograph Stewart’s ID. A state trooper would soon
take Stewart into custody and take his phone, apparently giving it to
the FBI who would keep it for almost a week.
Stewart wrote on his YouTube channel, “Dear PA State Police Trooper
who cuffed me and roughed me up: Don’t ever tread on me again. You know
what you did. Your partner better have had that bodycam on. That footage
better not be deleted. You’re going to pay for what you did to me.”
David James Stewart was trying to get a glimpse of a
Trump rally after clocking out from a nearby Sheetz convenience store on
Saturday. He ended up becoming a witness to an assassination attempt.
Why it matters: Stewart was standing right below the
Butler, Pennsylvania building where the shooter was and took a video,
later seized by law enforcement, he told Axios.
Former President Trump was shot in the earon Saturday in an attack that left one rally attendee dead and another two wounded, the Secret Service said.
The suspect was shooting from an elevated position outside the rally's security perimeter.
Zoom in: Someone yelled AK when they saw the shooter, Stewart said.
Then bullets starting going over Stewart's head. He took video and continued recording for 10–15 minutes after the shooting.
Stewart told Axios that law enforcement started shooting at the
suspect on the rooftop immediately. Another witness told Stewart that he
saw the suspect's head get blown apart.
Between the lines: Stewart was taken on the back of a
Homeland Security vehicle filled with other witnesses to a building
where he was told not to talk to other witnesses and spoke to
Pennsylvania State Police, Homeland Security and others.
Law enforcement told Stewart that 18 total witnesses were held in that building after the shooting.
Stewart had been just released and was back at Sheetz when he spoke with Axios on Saturday night.
On July 30, Dave Stewart released an audio recording of his interrogation by a State Police trooper who followed him to a gas station.
Dave said, “I was sitting in my car in a gas station parking lot with
my front sunshade up for about 45 minutes when I noticed a PSP trooper
at my window. I started recording audio from a new phone that I bought
specifically for this. When I take my sunshade down, I see that a PSP
cruiser has my car blocked in.”
This incident happened a day before his scheduled meet-up with the
FBI at 10:00 a.m. the next day to retrieve his phone, which was taken by
law enforcement.
While sitting in his car. The officers questioned him about his
whereabouts and activities on the day of the shooting, at one point
showing him a blurry photo and asking if he recognized the shooter,
Thomas Matthew Crooks.
During the recording, Stewart can be heard confronting the trooper about being detained and blocked in.
Trooper: Where are you staying at, buddy?
Stewart: Am I being Are you being detained right now?
Trooper: Yes.
Stewart: For what?
Trooper: He'll explain. So you can't leave right now.
Stewart: Why? Oh f—k. You motherf—ker. You're smart. F—k... You guys are f—king doing something. You guys are doing something fishy.
Trooper: We're not.
Stewart: Yeah, you are.
Trooper: No, we're not.
Stewart: Yeah, you are.
A visibly confused and alarmed Stewart asked the officers how they
were able to locate him. A trooper who identified himself as Trooper
Glasgow of the Pennsylvania State Police Troop D responded, "We're good
at what we do."
Stewart: Hey, what did I do Why did you guys block me in?
Trooper: Listen, we need to talk to you.
Stewart: What are you guys trying to do?
Trooper: We're trying to get you with the FBI to get your phone back.
Stewart: Why this time of night? I was already
there. I was already at the police barracks earlier. Got no answers. I
was there yesterday at noon. Got no answers. I drove down to the FBI
building myself. I understand that. And why are you coming here? How did
you even know I was right here?
Trooper: Because we've been trying to get a hold of you.
Stewart: How the fuck did you find me here?
Trooper: We're good at what we do.
Stewart: What?
Trooper: So here's the way this works. They need to talk to you so we can get this all behind us.
Stewart: You're not talking to me right now at 10 o'clock at night.
Trooper: Well, that's what they want to do. That's what the instructions we were given is.
Listen:
Stewart recounts an earlier incident involving a 'man in a red truck'
who allegedly threatened people near the fence line, claiming to own
the property and trying to force people to leave. Dave believed at the
time that this man might have been involved in the shooting.
Trooper: Maybe this is a blurry photo, but do you recall seeing this guy [Crooks] ever?
Stewart: No. No. What about the red truck guy? The
one that was trying to shoo us away from the building, the one that was
causing fights, trying to fight us all like an hour before Trump
arrived?
Trooper: Tell me about that.
Stewart: Well, there was a guy in a red truck,
probably early to mid-2000s, Ford Ranger, single cab, bright red, white
guy, older, 50, maybe almost 60, salt and pepper hair, gray shirt, blue
jeans. He was coming up, telling everybody that he owned the building.
That this was his area and we were all trespassing. We needed to move
away from the building.
He was getting in people's faces, pointing his finger at old guys'
faces. And then he left, pissed off, got in his truck, drove around the
AGR building for 20 seconds, and then drove back around. As he was
getting out of his truck, he put something down his pants. I ran back
over to the crowd and told them, 'Yo, that guy that was just harassing
you all? He's coming back, and I think he might have a gun or something.
This guy's fucked.' And he came back and started harassing people even
more. So we started waving the police down from the rally area to come
down toward us, toward the fence. And they came down, they talked to
that guy.
Trooper: Hold on a second. So this white male, describe him again.
Stewart: White male, probably in his 50s. I would
say mid-50s range. Salt and pepper, long hair, maybe about as long as
mine, maybe a little bit shorter. Just a gray shirt and blue jeans. And
he had a red truck, and it's a mid to early 2000s Ford Ranger, bright
red. A single cab, because I'm pretty sure it was a little thing.
Trooper: You said mid-2000s?
Stewart: Yeah, mid-2000s, mid to early 2000s Ford Ranger.
Trooper: And you said he owned the place?
Stewart: He was claiming that he owned the place.
But I was talking to this lady named Val. She lives right behind the
farm show. She's like, 'I've lived here forever. That guy doesn't own
this place.'
Trooper: Okay. So he said that you all needed to leave?
Stewart: That we all needed to leave. He was screaming, 'Get the fuck out of here. Fuck all you people.'
Trooper: He drove around the building?
Stewart: Yeah, in the parking lot that almost comes
up to the fence line. He got back into his truck, and then he drove out
of sight. And then he came back. We were like, 'What was that about?'
Trooper: What did he do when he came back?
Stewart: He kept yelling at people even more, but he
was even more pissed off, but more confident. And I saw him have
something black in his hand, and he shoved it down his pants.
Trooper: Was this when he came back?
Stewart: Yes.
Trooper: He had something black in his hands?
Stewart: Yes. And he shoved it down his pants. I
went over to the crowd and was like, 'Hey, that guy that was harassing
you all earlier? I think he might have a gun. He's coming back even more
angry.' So then we started flagging down the police from the rally
area.
Trooper: Did he leave at that point?
Stewart: The police came and talked to him. And then
after they talked to him, basically, I think they told him, 'Hey, dude,
there's a hundred people down here at this fence line. What are you
going to do? Just go. Just leave.' And then he left.
Trooper: Was it state police or local police?
Stewart: It's on that video. I videoed the
interaction between that man and those police officers. I can't believe
crowd control wasn't sent down at that point. It was out of control,
that fence line. There was a friggin horse there.
Trooper: Was there anything else about this truck, like stickers or anything like that?
Stewart: I wasn't close enough. I only saw it from the front. And I just—
Trooper: Or anything on his shirt?
Stewart: No, I just know it was bright red, like
that candy apple red, that bright red. And it was one of those dark
gray, just plain shirts, just regular. He just looked like a regular
dude.
Trooper: Around what time do you think this all happened?
Stewart: It'll be timestamped on the video. You guys
have it. I would say it was definitely before the motorcade arrived,
for sure, because that's when I started filming. It didn't stop when the
motorcade arrived. But the whole fight and everything between that guy,
that was, I'd say, a half-hour. I would say maybe five o'clock. It was
shortly after I arrived. Actually, yeah, I would say it was around five
o'clock. It was shortly after I arrived, because it took me a couple of
minutes to walk across the field right there. I left my car and just
walked over.
Listen:
The most alarming part of Stewart's testimony comes from what he
claims to have overheard on the police radio: reports of blood found in a
bathroom and a second shooter still at large.
Trooper: Have you ever met or spoken to Mr. Crooks before?
Stewart: No.
Trooper: No?
Stewart: Yeah. Get the fuck out of here. You guys think I'm involved?
Trooper: No, just asking.
Stewart: That's a weird-ass question. Who are you asking, bro?
Trooper: I've asked everyone.
[...]
Stewart: "Yeah, because when we were first
ducking... When they moved us all from the back of the AGR building, and
Homeland Security and the other guy with the long gun moved us over to
the Township police car to take cover there, the door was open, and we
could hear the radio communications. And they said, 'Shooter dead on the
roof.'
And then they said, 'We breached the building. There's blood in the bathroom, second shooter on the loose.'
Because if the guy climbed the building and shot from there, how was
there blood found inside of a bathroom inside that building? So there
had to be a second shooter, right? That got shot or something."
Trooper: You got moved to another building by who?
Stewart: Moved to another area by Homeland Security.
I got the cuffs taken from behind me to the front by Homeland Security.
And then when we got moved over to Township. The Township Police were
like, 'Stewart?' And I'm like, 'Yeah, please take these cuffs off me.'
And they took the cuffs off me. And then they moved us across the
street. And then they were like, 'This is even a horrible spot over
here. If the dude wants to shoot out the windows, get in the trunk of
our car over here, and we'll drive you to the farm show.'
Trooper: Okay. So what was it that you heard on the radio?
Stewart: There was a shooter dead on the roof, and then they were clearing the building, and they found blood in the bathroom. And they said, 'second
suspect at large,' or something like that, or whatever. I don't know.
But blood was found in the bathroom, I remember that for sure. Because that's what had us freaked out, because that's what the cops were telling us. Like, 'Hey, the second shooter is still around here.
So let's move from this point over to this point where it's safer.' And
then they're like, 'Well, it's not safe over here. Let's take you over
here.'"
Trooper: So you didn't actually see any potential second shooter?
Stewart: No, I assumed the red truck guy was because
what I thought was when the shots were going off, I thought it was the
red truck guy shooting us for being along his fence.
Trooper: You don't know who the red truck guy is or anything?
Stewart: Hell no. If I knew, I'd tell you. His picture is on the video. I got a close-up of his face.
Trooper: So there was some surveillance footage that
indicated you and [Crooks] might have communicated at one point. Do you
recall that at all?
Stewart: What?
Trooper: Yeah.
Stewart: No way. Let me see it.
Trooper: I don't have it with me.
Stewart: Well, f—k.
Trooper: We'll have somebody text it to you.
Stewart: I want to see that sh-t. Yeah, are you serious? I was within inches from this guy?
Trooper: Potentially.
Stewart: No way. Wow. Not only was I feet from the
muzzle, but I was also f—king inches from the f—king guy beforehand?
Good Lord. I'm going down in the history books, my friend. F—k. God damn
it. This sucks. This is all in my mind right now, bro. Holy sh—t. I
can't believe you just told me that. Oh, my God.
Listen:
Stewart wrote on X, "It would be on the dash/body cam of a Butler
Township officer with white sunglasses. I didn't catch his name. I rode
in the back of his car with neon green guy to the front of the building
while the others in the group got in other cars."
The Gateway Pundit cannot verify this claim at this time. A body cam
video later released by Sen. Grassley showed an officer who allegedly
had fallen and cut his hands, with discussions about him possibly
needing stitches. Many believe this incident might explain the origin of
the "blood in the bathroom" story.
Do they ever tell the truth ??? I also heard she pays for votes maybe she pays for this too? Hmmm
Democrat Lackeys and Snopes Busted! Tests Show Crowd Shot Image at Campaign Stop in Detroit Was AI and Digitally Enhanced
by Jim Hoft70 Comments
A recent crowd shot from Kamala Harris’s rally at the Detroit Metro
Airport made headlines last week after the photo appeared to be AI
generated or digitally enhanced.
The photo shows a very enthusiastic and massive crowd of supporters
waiting for Kamala and Tampon Tim at their rally in Detroit on
Wednesday, August 7.
The photo was first published by Democrat political strategist Rachel Bitecofer where it was disseminated on social media.
Bitecofer is a popular activist in Democrat circles who was even invited on leftist Bill Maher’s show on HBO as a guest.
Bitecofer has stated she did not attend the rally and did not know where the photo came from.
According to XRVision a comparison of similar verified images, such
as those by the AP, reveals that the image has an inconsistent field of
view geometry, depth and width, proportions, and lighting.
SNOPES reportedly examined the image and reported that it is “unproven” if the image is not authentic.
SNOPES claims they ran the image through an AI Detector and the
results came back 96% human or likely photographed by someone at the
event.
However, XRVision ran the same photo through an AI Detector several
times, and the results came back as 76%, 79%, 78%, 79%, and 80% likely
AI-generated.
The AI detection program gave it a NSFW label meaning “Not Suitable
for Work” or, in other words, IT IS NOT LIKELY A REAL PHOTO!… And ‘Stay
Away.”
So now we know that there is no depth of deception Democrats will not go to push their unlikeable and failed candidates.
Nothing is real with these people. Nothing is honest.
They have no integrity.
And SNOPES, a company founded by a degenerate who blew nearly $100 grand of company money on hookers, is caught once again playing cleanup for the Democrat liars.
Watch: ‘Normal’ Tim Walz Supports 10-Year-Olds Getting Transgender Care
by Michael Schwarz, The Western Journal25 Comments
If we suddenly learned that satanic pedophiles actually run the world, would it not explain everything?
To be clear, that half-joking question does not refer to any
particular individual, but to millions of adults who subscribe to a
demonic ideology of tolerance that apparently leaves them feeling
empowered to obsess over children’s sexuality — an obsession most
healthy adults would regard as weird.
For instance, in a clip from a 2017 town hall posted Thursday to
social media platform X, Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, whom
Vice President and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris tabbed
as her running mate on Tuesday, talked openly about 10-year-olds
choosing whatever bathroom happened to align with their gender identity.
In other words, Walz has thought about children’s sexuality for at least seven years.
“In many cases, these are children my son’s age, a 4th-grader, a
10-year-old, who just want to go to the bathroom, and their identity is,
they are male or female, and they just go in that bathroom and use it,”
Walz said at the end of the clip.
Sometimes one forgets how long the “identity” nonsense has persisted, for this town hall preceded even Walz’s governorship. The embattled Democrat, currently embroiled in a “stolen valor” controversy, won Minnesota’s 2018 gubernatorial election.
Meanwhile, in the weeks since former President Donald Trump chose
Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate in the 2024
election, Democrats have tried to paint Vance in particular and Trump’s
entire MAGA movement in general as “weird.”
In fact, the entire establishment media seems to have received instructions to disseminate the new “weird” talking point around the same time.
Vance, of course, emerged from humble origins, achieved spectacular success, served in the Marines, married and had a family. Democrats call that weird.
Talking about children’s sexuality, however, constitutes “normal” in Democrat-world.
But the depravity runs much deeper.
In a recent interview with X owner Elon Musk,
Canadian psychologist and prominent conservative intellectual Jordan
Peterson described the entire phenomenon of “gender-affirming care” —
and telling boys to use the girls’ bathroom constitutes
“gender-affirming care” to leftists like Walz — as worse in one respect
than any historical atrocity he has studied.
“At least the bloody Nazis knew it was wrong and tried to hide it,”
Peterson said near the beginning of a nearly eight-minute clip posted to
X.
Therein lies the truly demonic element of “gender-affirming care” for children.
In other words, when the Nazis committed atrocities, they concealed
them. But when Walz and other woke leftists talk about children’s
sexuality, they think themselves compassionate.
After all, the town hall audience applauded when Walz mentioned “the safety, security and belongingness of every single child.”
Of course, everyone who is not a psychopath wants children to have
safety, security and a sense of belonging. So the audience members did
not applaud those platitudes in particular. They applauded themselves,
and for no other reason than for the sheer satisfaction of thinking
themselves more compassionate than others.
Some might call that weird.

CALIFORNIA CHAOS: 50 Masked Teens Ransack L.A. 7-Eleven Store, Cause Thousands of Dollars in Damage (VIDEO)
by Ben Kew215 Comments
Up to 50 teenagers ransacked a store in Los Angeles on Friday where shoplifting has effectively become decriminalized.
Security footage uploaded online showed the teens jumping over the
counter and grabbing fistfuls of items from the shelves. Store staff
were later seen engaging in a large clean-up operation.
KLCA reports:
A large group of juveniles used “bodily force” to ransack a 7-Eleven store in Los Angeles Friday night, authorities said.
A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson confirmed to KTLA that
about 50 teens descended upon the 7-Eleven at the corner of Olympic and
La Cienega boulevards in Pico-Robertson at 7:50 p.m.
The teens, many of whom were wearing masks, forcibly stole property from the store, the spokesperson said.
…
Video posted to the Citizen App shows police officers responding to
the store, where displays had been knocked over and products scattered
across the floor, including hot food items, sunglasses, automotive
products and even an open gallon of milk.
Surveillance footage obtained by KTLA shows multiple teens hopping over the front counter and grabbing a fistful of products.
The vandals are said to have caused thousands of dollars in damage as well as significant losses to the store.
Nobody was injured in the incident and as of Saturday no arrests had been made.
Such incidents are commonplace in California, where criminal gangs
and professional shoplifters are effectively allowed to operate without
risk of criminal prosecution.
Under current California law,
those suspected of stealing less than $950 worth of goods are only
liable for a misdmeanor. In most cases, local law enforcement will
therefore not even bother to investigate.
Please pass this on to everyone you know so they will see the crap that people are starting.
Fair is fair no matter how it turns out. FAIR VOTE... NOT STOLEN.
YOUR vote matters.
St. Johns County GOP
Launches Election Fraud Investigation After Fake Voter Guides were
Mailed to Confuse Voters Ahead of August Primary
by Jim Hᴏft29 Comments
The St. Johns County Republican Party (SJCRP) has sounded the alarm,
claiming that fraudulent endorsement cards are being circulated ahead of
the August primary.
These cards, which appear to be near-exact replicas of the legitimate
GOP endorsements, have been mailed in an apparent attempt to confuse
voters and sway the election.
“It’s a very close knockoff, but it’s fraudulent,” said Denver Cook, Chairman of the St. Johns County GOP per WOKV. “When you talk about election interference and election fraud, I don’t know how it could be worse than this.”
The fake endorsement cards list 8 candidates that directly contradict
those endorsed by the St. Johns County GOP. According to Cook, this is a
deliberate and malicious attempt to mislead voters and disrupt the
integrity of the election.
“This is our real voter guide, you can see on the back side of it, we
explain why we did, we have the required disclaimers on the bottom,”
Cook said.
The St. Johns GOP endorses grassroots conservatives who are willing to take out the RINOs in Congress.

The Chairman has received over a dozen calls from concerned citizens, all of whom were confused by the fake mailers.
“To do this, it’s angering, frustrating and it concerns me about
behavior when you talk voter intimidations, voter fraud, the level of
anger that’s been produced,” he said.
Cook stated that they would never have sent anything from Jacksonville, according to News4Jax.
“You can see that it was mailed from Jacksonville on Aug. 7 with a stamp and no return address,” Cook said.
“We
wouldn’t have mailed it from Jacksonville but additionally these cards
aren’t prepared to be mailed. There’s no way for us to put a stamp or an
address on them. The other thing is we don’t have.”
For Cook, this act is dirty politics, he called it “outright fraud and criminal.”
“I would call this beyond dirty politics. Dirty politics you would
see the hate mail that comes out on individuals or attack pieces that
are fabricated, based on a sliver of truth and blown up to be this whole
thing. This is so far beyond that. This is outright fraud and
criminal.”
Cook expressed deep concern over the motives behind these fake voter
guides, which he believes were not only costly but also strategically
crafted to undermine the party’s efforts.
“The first one that comes to mind is to try and offset the work we’re
doing for political gain for people they’re supporting,” Cook said.
“The second is greed. I think when you look at trying to get certain
people in certain positions that will vote in a way you need them to,
people want that.”
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has been notified,
and Cook is determined to see justice served. If those responsible for
this fraud are identified, Cook vows that they will face serious legal
consequences.
“First of all, I think the people need to be held accountable for
this criminally and civilly. And we as a party and chairman are going to
pursue that as far as we can. The state party is already engaged as
well.”
Evan Power, Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, also weighed
in on the matter, issuing a strong statement of support for the St.
Johns County GOP.
Statement via WOKV:
“The Republican Party of Florida and the St. Johns County
Republican Party are the only organizations qualified to speak
officially on behalf of our party in St. Johns County. We are taking
this matter very seriously and are investigating. No Florida voter
should be misled by anonymous, phony groups pretending to speak for the
GOP.”
Richard Finke, Chair of St. John’s Democratic Party released the
following statement to News4Jax, distancing itself from the situation:
“The St. Johns Democratic Party has had nothing to do
with or knowledge of these events until today’s reporting. We don’t know
of any organizations or individuals who do. It appears to be evidence
of continued Republican infighting between the Trump club and the REC,
who have been at odds for a long time over endorsements.
We are saddened by the continued disregard of our country’s democracy
here in Northeast Florida and the nation at large. Our Party does not
endorse one Democrat over another in the primary process.
We want the people to decide and then we will back that choice in the
General Election. St. John’s Democratic Party is strongly united and
focused on electing Democrats up and down the ballot. We welcome all
Republicans and NPAs to join us in electing Kamala Harris as the next
President of these United States.”
Early voting is scheduled from August 10th to August 17th, with Election Day set for August 20th, 2024.
Bombshell: FBI Itself Allowed Would-Be Trump Killer Into Country, Said He Was ‘Polite’
by Joe Saunders, The Western Journal17 Comments
Do Americans have any reason to trust the FBI?
The once-vaunted reputation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
has been in tatters for years among conservatives — since well before
its deep-state warfare against Donald Trump and his supporters became
public knowledge.
But a report this week about the bureau’s dealings with a man arrested in July in a potential Trump assassination plot linked to Iran just made things a good deal worse.
According to Just the News,
FBI counterterrorism agents interviewed Pakistani national Asif Raza
Merchant in April when he landed at George Bush International Airport in
Houston.
“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,'” Just the News reported.
Nonetheless, he was allowed into the country on a special parole, Just the News reported.
Maybe it was because he was just an oh-so-smooth talker. The agents
who interviewed Merchan found him “polite and cooperative throughout
encounter,” Just the News reported, quoting an FBI interview memo.
Or maybe it was because the FBI planned to keep an eye on him, using
him as unwitting bait to maybe catch bigger fish in the subterranean sea
of terror networks.
That’s how unnamed FBI sources framed it, according to Just the News.
But they also pointed out the obvious dangers of simply letting
dangerous individuals go free on the expectation that the benefits
gained in surveillance would more than make up for any potential
hazards.
It’s playing with fire — and in the real world, innocent people get burned.
The sources cited the Obama-era operation known as “Fast and Furious,”
in which a plan to trace illegal guns ended up turning into a deadly
fiasco, with more than 1,000 weapons disappearing — presumably into the
hands of criminals. Two of those guns were found near the scene of the 2010 murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
The Merchant case hasn’t come with any corpses — at least not that have been publicized so far — so that’s something.
But the fact that the FBI would consider it a worthy risk to allow a
known terror suspect, with known ties to Iran — a terrorist-run nation
that has been at war with the United States since 1979 — beggars belief.
Or rather, it would beggar belief if the country hadn’t been treated
for years to the spectacle of an agency that has exchanged a reputation
for stellar law enforcement to become known as an ideologically driven
organization.
Americans who follow the news these days see more about an FBI committed to stomping on conservatives — say, parents who speak out at school board meetings — than about an agency battling criminals or the country’s enemies.
Much of the bureau’s current reputational problems no doubt stem from
the days of former Director James Comey, who was fired by Trump in
2017. Comey was behind the smearing of retired Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security advisor.
He was the FBI director who helped establish the “Russia collusion” hoax that bedeviled Trump’s presidency.
He was the director who employed FBI Agent Peter Strzok and his lover, FBI attorney Lisa Page, the infamous couple who cashed in their “insurance policy”
against Trump winning the presidency by attempting to frame him as a
stooge of the Kremlin, and getting millions of Americans to believe it.
In 2019, as NBC News
reported at the time, the Justice Department Inspector General issued a
report declaring that Comey had violated both Justice Department and
FBI policy by his actions after Trump fired him, including keeping
official memos he wrote while FBI director and giving one of them to a
friend, who in turn leaked it to The New York Times. Those were the kind
of games Comey played in American politics.
But the FBI since Comey’s departure clearly hasn’t proven itself to be reformed from those dark days.
Director Christopher Wray, the man Trump appointed to replace Comey,
has been a disappointment known more for evasive answers to Republican
senators and representatives than he is for being a new broom that
sweeps clean.
And now a reputable news source is reporting that the FBI allowed a
man with known terror ties into the country, only to arrest him three
months later on charges of organizing an Iranian-backed plot to kill the
45th president.
Merchant was arrested July 12, according to a Justice Department news release — one day before Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally.
That isn’t to suggest there was any link between Merchant and Trump’s
would-be assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania, but it does highlight how
dangerous threats are.
If the FBI was playing Merchant for a dupe, it was playing with fire.
And no American who’s followed the news over the past decade should even trust this agency’s leadership with a pack of matches.

THIS SHOULD FINISH THE TIM
WALZ POLITICAL CAREER: Picture Unearthed of Walz Holding “Enduring
Freedom Veteran” Protest Sign – He Never Served in Operation Enduring
Freedom – IT WAS ALL A LIE
by Jim Hoft269 Comments

A bombshell revelation has surfaced this week that could mark the end
of Tim Walz’s political career. A photo, recently unearthed, shows Walz
holding a protest sign reading “Enduring Freedom Veterans for Kerry” during a 2004 anti-George Bush rally in Mankato, Minnesota.
The problem? Walz never served in Operation Enduring Freedom, and his
claims of doing so have been exposed as a lie that has persisted for
nearly 20 years.
The photograph, taken by Michael B. Brodkorb, was captured on August 4, 2004, as Walz protested outside a campaign rally for President Bush in Mankato, Minnesota.
Tim Walz has consistently portrayed himself as “a veteran of
Operation Enduring Freedom,” the U.S. military operation in Afghanistan
initiated after the September 11 attacks.
However, it has come to light that Walz never deployed to
Afghanistan, nor did he engage in any combat operations during his
military career. His service was primarily in Italy, where he supported
NATO forces but did not see action in the Middle East, Free Beacon reported.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on a 2007 video of Tim Walz
falsely claiming he deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
“I spent 24 years in the National Guard, some of that full-time. I was an artilleryman. I deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. My
battalion provided base security throughout the European theater from
Turkey to England in the early stages of the war in Afghanistan. And
that same battalion is now in Iraq at this time,” Walz said in 2007 on
CSPAN.

Then, another video from 2009
also resurfaces, showing Iraq War veteran David Thul confronting Walz’s
aides at his Mankato office regarding these claims. Thul, armed with
knowledge and evidence, filmed the encounter and pointed out that Walz’s
assertions could be interpreted as violations of the Stolen Valor Act.
During this confrontation, Thul informed Walz's aides that such misrepresentations could lead to jail time.
Thul presented evidence indicating that while
Walz served in a supportive role, he did not serve in Afghanistan or
engage in any combat actions. One aide admitted she was "not aware" of
Walz serving in Afghanistan.
Thul went on to present the 2004 photo of
Walz, holding a sign that says "Enduring Freedom Veterans for Care," to
another aide, who acknowledged that constituents could get the false
impression that Walz served in Afghanistan.

David Thul shared this photo in a blog post in 2009 detailing his concerns about Walz’s military record.
“My congressman, who publically attacked an Iraq War
veteran for questioning his service, held a sign in 2004 claiming to be
an Afghanistan War veteran. Even having an already low opinion of Tim
Walz, I still couldn't believe my eyes. Tim Walz held a sign at a
protest outside a President Bush campaign rally (the very same rally he
claims to have had his conversion at) claiming to be an "Enduring
Freedom Veterans for Kerry."
There are two medals that have been awarded to soldiers who served in
Operation Enduring Freedom-the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary
Medal (authorized by Executive Order on March 13, 2003) and the
Afghanistan Campaign Medal (authorized by Congress on May 28, 2004).
Congressman Walz does not qualify to wear either one.
Yet in this photo taken by Michael Brodkorb on his way to the Mankato Bush rally and posted last year on Minnesota Democrats Exposed, then National Guardsman Command Sergeant Major Tim Walz claimed to be a veteran of a war he didn't fight in.
Remember, Tim Walz's statement is that he re-enlisted after Sep 11,
2001 for 4 more years and did not retire until he decided to run for
Congress (some time after this picture was taken). So he was almost
certainly still a member of the MN National Guard when he held this
fraudulent sign.
So the question becomes, how wrong is this? How bad is it to claim to
be an Operation Enduring Freedom veteran when you are not? Reference
the Stolen Valor Act of 2005:
False Claims About Receipt of Military Medals- Whoever falsely
represents himself or herself, verbally or in writing, to have been
awarded any decoration or medal authorized by Congress for the armed
forces of the United States, or any of the service medals or badges
awarded to the members of such forces, or the ribbon, button, or rosette
of any such badge, decoration or medal, or any colorable imitation
thereof shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.' (Emphasis mine)
As my kids would say, "Ruh Roh Raggy".
Fortunately for Congressman Walz, the Stolen Valor Act wasn't passed
until January of 2006. But there is no way for Congressman Walz to spin
this photo or explain his way out of it. He claimed in writing to be an
Enduring Freedom vet and he is not.
VIDEO: The Debate Is Over — CNN Airs Investigation that Confirms Tim Walz Is Stolen Valor Fraud
by Jim Hoft27 CommentsCNN lays out the details of Tim Walz and his Stolen Valor scandal.
CNN settled the debate about Governor Tim Walz and his alleged stolen
valor scandal. The far-left channel ran a 10-minute investigation on
Governor Walz, his time in the service, his abandoning his men after
their deployment notice, and Tim later lying about his service in the
Iraq War.
Mike Cernovich called the segment “absolutely devastating” and
confirmed that CNN actually debunked all of the lies spread by Walz and
his Democrat defenders.
“Absolutely devastating and it debunks all of the lies spread by Tim
Walz’s defenders. I want him on the ticket as VP. The conversation is
over. Tim Walz is a deployment dodging stolen valor fraud!” he wrote on
X.
CNN host Laura Coates brought in retired Command Sergeant Major Doug
Julien to discuss Walz and his record. Julien previously accused Walz of
letting “his troops down”
and going over his head to secure his retirement after decades of
service in May 2005, a few months before the battalion was given a
mobilization order to deploy to Iraq.
Julien’s testimony provides a stark contrast to the narrative Walz
has long promoted, revealing a troubling pattern of deceit and
self-serving decisions that have cast a shadow over his military legacy.
According to Julien, Walz, who filed paperwork for his Congressional
bid in February 2005, deliberately went above his superior’s head to
retire just as his unit was preparing for deployment to Iraq.
Julien revealed that in the fall of 2004, his brigade was informed of
an upcoming deployment to Iraq, and the unit was in the process of
preparing for the mission.
By February 2005, Walz was already laying the groundwork for his
political career, notifying Julien of his intent to run for Congress but
assuring him he would still deploy with his unit.
However, in a move that Julien described as a “backdoor process,”
Walz retired in May 2005—just two months before his unit received
deployment orders. Julien claims that Walz knew about the scheduled
deployment and violated military protocol by seeking retirement approval
from someone higher up, bypassing Julien entirely.
“The issue that came out of this was, first of all, how did Tim Walz
quit without discussing it with me? Because I was his next level of
leadership or responsibility or supervisor,” said Julien.
“The real thing is, at the level that he held at time, which could
have been either a first sergeant, but he was conditionally promoted to a
Command Sergeant Major, he knew the rules or the policies or the
procedures and the manner of how to address issues going forward.”
“If this would have been an early entry, low-level ranking
individual, different story. We would have understood that, okay, he
didn’t understand the processes and the procedures. Tim Walz knew the
processes and the procedures. He went around me and above and beyond me
and went and basically went to get somebody to back him to get him out
of there without… It was just a backdoor process that he handled against
me or against the battalion out there.”
The interview further revealed that Walz’s actions may have violated
the military’s stop-loss policy, which prevents service members from
retiring or leaving service within 90 days of deployment.
“At that time is what’s called a stop loss, where if you’re in a
position, you’re going forward regardless unless there’s some really
major process that gets you out from not going on the deployment itself.
So there’s that window of opportunity.”
Julien emphasized that Walz was fully aware of the impending orders
and chose to retire anyway, abandoning his comrades just when they
needed him most.
To add insult to injury, Walz has repeatedly claimed to have been a
Command Sergeant Major—a title that Julien disputes. According to the
retired Sergeant Major, Walz never completed the academy required to
achieve that rank, making his claim a violation of stolen valor.
From the interview, it is clear that Tim Walz went over his superior,
pulled out of combat in Iraq within the 90 days prior to deployment and
violated a stop loss rule. Walz later claimed he was a retired Command
Sergeant Major – a level he never completed because he never entered the
academy to become a Command Sergeant Major.
Walz frequently lied about this military rank since he left the service.
In fact, we know that the Kamala Harris campaign had to rewrite their website to correct this violation of stolen valor.
Stellantis laid off 2,450 plant workers in Warren, Michigan after discontinuing its popular Ram pickup truck.
The layoffs come just one day after Kamala Harris and her running
mate stolen valor Tim Walz delivered remarks to United Auto Workers
(UAW) members in Wayne County, Michigan.
The UAW represents the Stellantis plant in Warren, Michigan.
“With the introduction of the new Ram 1500, production of the Ram
1500 Classic at the Warren [Michigan] Truck Assembly Plant will come to
an end later this year,” the company said in an emailed statement, CNBC reported.
CNBC reported:
Automaker Stellantis plans to indefinitely lay off up to
2,450 U.S. factory workers later this year as it discontinues production
of an older version of its Ram 1500 pickup truck in Michigan.
The truck has been largely used as a low-cost pickup to sell to
entry-level buyers and fleet customers since the automaker introduced a
new generation of the Ram 1500 in 2018. It is produced alongside the
Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer at the Warren Truck Assembly Plant,
located near Detroit.
The current Ram 1500, which was recently updated for the 2025 model
year, is produced at a nearby plant. Operations at that facility will
continue as planned.
For the first time in the history of the 150,000-member United Auto Workers Union, members went on strike against the “Big 3” manufacturers last year after no deal was reached.
The “Big 3” include Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, the newly-formed merger of Fiat Chrysler and the PSA Group.
“Key demands from the union have included 40% hourly pay increases; a
reduced, 32-hour, workweek; a shift back to traditional pensions; the
elimination of compensation tiers; and a restoration of cost-of-living
adjustments. Other items on the table include enhanced retiree benefits
and better vacation and family leave benefits,” CNBC reported last year.
Kentucky Truck Plant workers shut it down earlier this month. This is Ford’s biggest and most profitable plant.
The United Auto Workers strike expanded as thousands of workers walked out and shut down Stellantis’ largest plant last year.
6,800 workers walked out of the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Michigan last October.
