Suspected White House Correspondents’ Dinner Shooter Donated to Democrat Fundraising Machine ActBlue

The suspected White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner shooter donated money to ActBlue, the Democrat fundraising arm, according to reports.

The suspect, 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, meant for the money to go to former Vice President Kamala Harris’s (D) presidential campaign, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.

The newspaper said officials have not shared a possible motive behind the shooting that happened at the Washington Hilton hotel where President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were in attendance for the event:

In October 2024, Allen donated $25 to ActBlue, a political action committee that raises funds for Democrats, according to the Federal Election Commission. The money was earmarked for Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. It was his only political donation listed on the FEC website in the past decade.

Allen, who is registered to vote with no party preference, graduated from CalTech in 2017 with a degree in mechanical engineering. While at CalTech, he was a member of the school’s Christian fellowship and the nerf club, according to his LinkedIn profile.

The Sunday Times also reported Allen had donated $25 to ActBlue.

“The authorities have not publicly released a motive. If confirmed to have been an attempt on the president’s life, the incident will have been the third such in two years,” the article read.

North Dakota State Rep Liz Conmy Killed in Plane Crash – Plane Erupts Into Fireball

North Dakota state rep Liz Conmy was killed in a plane crash on Saturday.

Liz Conmy was a member of the North Dakota Democratic–Nonpartisan League party, an affiliate of the Democrat party.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed there were two people on the plane and local authorities said there were no survivors.

Neighbors living near the crash site described hearing a loud boom and seeing flames.

“I was in the house, in my bedroom, and my daughter was eating cereal at the kitchen table, and there was a really loud boom,” said Ashley Capp, who lives across the street.

Kim Clark, another neighbor, said, “It was scary because it was like, it’s really close to my home, and my family stays here.”

Clark captured video of the plane engulfed in flames just after the crash.

FACT CHECK: An X Account in 2023 Tweeted Name of Alleged WHCA Dinner Shooter in Only Post to Platform

CLAIM: A mysterious X account using the screen name “Henry Martinez” posted the name of alleged White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner shooter Cole Allen in December 2023, the only tweet made on the account.

VERDICT: TRUE. Social media users discovered the tweet shortly after authorities identified Allen as the suspect arrested at the Washington Hilton. The account, identified as @HenryMa79561893, posted the message at 6:07 p.m. on December 21, 2023, and has remained inactive since that date.

The mysterious nature of the post has divided internet users into two camps. Some dismiss it as pure coincidence, while others believe there may be a more complex explanation. The single tweet has generated thousands of replies and sparked numerous conspiracy theories across various social media platforms. Although the theories are flying hot and heavy, the initial question of if the post by “Henry Martinez” is real has been definitively answered.

Feds: Manifesto outlined plot to target admin. officials, expressed hatred of Christians

President Donald Trump has confirmed that Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old Los Angeles resident identified as the shooter at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, allegedly left behind a manifesto in which he expressed hostility toward Christians.

In an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Briefing,” Trump described Allen as a “sick guy,” noting that the suspect’s own family had previously attempted to warn law enforcement about his radicalizing views.

“When you read his manifesto, he hates ‌Christians —that’s one thing for sure. He hates Christians, a hatred,” the president said.

The manifesto, which was reportedly shared with his family members via email just minutes before the attack, framed Allen’s motives as a moral necessity.

“Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes,” the manifesto read, according to a law enforcement official.

His brother alerted New London, Connecticut police after receiving it minutes before the shooting occurred. In it, Allen allegedly referred to himself as the “Friendly Federal Assassin.”

The document reportedly outlined plans to target administration officials, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest. Notably, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel was omitted from the list.

Additionally, the manifesto mocked the “insane” lack of security at the hotel where the event was held.

“Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance,” the manifesto reportedly said. “I ​walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.”

According to the Washington Metropolitan Police Department, Allen was carrying a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives when he stormed a security checkpoint on the lobby level. One Secret Service officer was struck in the chest during the ensuing struggle but was saved by his ballistic vest.

Ilhan Omar Probe Expands Into Hubby’s $30M Of Shady Biz Deals In Kenya, Dubai And Somalia

House Oversight Chairman James Comer is cranking the investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, into overdrive – demanding a full accounting of shadowy international business trips and deals that stretch from the Horn of Africa straight into Kenya, Somalia and the glittering skyscrapers of Dubai.

Omar has been making strange moves since February, after Comer fired off a no-holds-barred letter demanding every document and communication on Mynett’s travel and business dealings in Kenya, Somalia and the UAE. Since then, the story has exploded again with several stunning new twists: Omar quietly amended her 2024 financial disclosure in late March, slashing the reported $30 million fortune down to nearly zero; just nine days later, on April 4, the California winery central to those valuations was officially dissolved; forensic accountants have publicly torn into the revised numbers for major inconsistencies.

The Feb. 5 letter ordered Mynett – president of Rose Lake Capital LLC and co-owner of the now-defunct eStCru LLC winery – to hand over every record related to travel or business solicitation in those three countries. The Feb. 19 deadline came and went with no public confirmation that Mynett ever complied.

Omar’s original 2024 disclosure, filed in May 2025, showed the two firms exploding in value from a combined $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million the following year. Rose Lake Capital was listed between $5 million and $25 million; the winery sat between $1 million and $5 million. Then came the late-March amendment, in which Omar blamed an accountant’s error in netting out liabilities. The companies’ reported net value was wiped to zero and the couple’s total household assets were slashed to between $18,004 and $95,000.

Nine days after that amendment, California business records show eStCru LLC was officially terminated and dissolved on April 4. The winery had never owned a vineyard, tasting room or major production equipment. It produced only tiny batches at a shared custom-crush facility, had no active phone line and went dark on social media years ago. It was already dogged by investor lawsuits alleging fraud. One Washington, D.C., restaurateur, Naeem Mohd, claimed he invested roughly $300,000 after being promised a 200% return in 18 months – plus 10% monthly interest if late. A separate cannabis-related venture involving Mynett’s partner William Hailer ended in a roughly $1.2 million settlement after investors accused the duo of misappropriating funds.

According to Comer’s letter, Rose Lake Capital had marketed itself as a globe-trotting player with “deep global networks” built from on-the-ground work in more than 80 countries. Its website – later scrubbed of officer and advisor names, including former diplomats – hyped sustainable investments and solar-panel projects across Africa. One partner reportedly received a $10,699 business-class ticket to Dubai for deal discussions. The firm once claimed to manage $60 billion in assets – an eye-popping figure for a company that, according to earlier disclosures, had less than $1,000 in the bank in 2023.

Because of this, “unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence” with Omar. The timing has fueled even more suspicion: the reported wealth spike overlapped with the massive social-services fraud scandals ripping through Minnesota’s Somali-American community – the heart of Omar’s district – where authorities allege billions in taxpayer dollars were looted through fake daycare and nutrition programs.

Democrat Rep. Raskin Uses WHCD Shooting Platform to Defend SPLC as ‘Fighting Right-Wing Extremism,’ Slams DOJ Prosecution

Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin is once again under scrutiny—this time for remarks made during a Face the Nation interview following the shocking shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Instead of focusing on the immediate facts of the attack, the suspect, or the broader security implications, Raskin quickly pivoted to a familiar political narrative: gun control and systemic “political violence.” 

The response follows a pattern that has become increasingly common in Washington, where major incidents are rapidly folded into broader policy arguments before the full details are even established.

During the interview, Raskin described the chaos inside the ballroom, recounting the moment guests were forced to the ground after hearing multiple loud bangs. 

The scene, by all accounts, was serious and alarming. But rather than staying focused on the event itself, Raskin used the moment to draw comparisons to school shootings and broader gun violence statistics, citing daily shooting figures across the country.

That framing immediately raises questions.

School shootings, while tragic, are statistically extremely rare compared to other forms of violence, particularly gang-related crime and illegal firearm use in major cities. Yet, they are often emphasized in political messaging because of their emotional impact. 

By invoking school violence in response to an incident involving a politically motivated suspect targeting Trump Administration officials, Raskin blurred the distinction between fundamentally different types of crime.

The pivot did not stop there.

In one of the more controversial moments of the interview, Raskin turned his attention to the Department of Justice’s prosecution of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). 

As previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, the organization is currently facing a federal indictment alleging serious financial misconduct, including fraud and the alleged diversion of donor funds.

Rather than addressing the substance of those allegations, Raskin suggested that prosecuting the SPLC could actually contribute to political extremism. That argument is difficult to reconcile with the nature of the charges. 

Federal prosecutors have outlined claims that involve years of alleged financial deception and misuse of funds—issues that would typically demand accountability regardless of political affiliation.

‘Gender Identity’ Requirements Will Be Discarded In Housing Programs: HUD

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner announced a new proposed rule on Thursday that seeks to end the use of “gender identity” across all departmental programs, which is intended to “restore biological reality and protect women.”

“Under the proposed guidance, HUD would remove radical definitions of gender identity, sexual orientation, and gender, replacing them with sex across nearly 50 regulations,” HUD said in an April 23 statement.

The department’s Equal Access Rule will be modified to replace the ban on discrimination on the basis of “gender identity” across all Community Planning and Development programs.

HUD intends to define common terms such as mother, father, woman, man, girl, and boy, in a way that is consistent with a person’s sex across the department’s regulations.

“God created two sexes: male and female. The Left’s war on biological reality through radical gender ideology will no longer take precedence over the safety and security of America’s most vulnerable women,” Turner said.

The 2012 Equal Access Rule, titled Equal Access to Housing in HUD Programs Regardless of Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity, sought to ensure that HUD’s housing programs would be made available to all individuals and families regardless of their gender identity, sexual orientation, or marital status.

At the time, the rule did not address how transgender identifying and “gender non-conforming” individuals should be accommodated in certain temporary and emergency shelters, and other facilities used for this purpose. In 2016, another final rule was issued on this regulation addressing the matter.

The recent proposal builds on an order issued by the HUD Secretary in February last year that required a stoppage of any pending or future enforcement of the Equal Access Rule.

In a Feb. 13, 2025, statement, Turner said that the department’s actions were in line with an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on his first day in office.

Jimmy Kimmel Fantasized About Trump’s Death on ABC Days Before Third Assassination Attempt

Jimmy Kimmel, host of the Disney-owned ABC late-night show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, put on a mock White House Correspondents’ Dinner roast during Thursday night’s broadcast in which he fanaticized about President Donald Trump’s death in a joke aimed at First Lady Melania Trump.

Firing off one-liners about President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Stephen Miller, among other White House officials, Kimmel set his sights on the First Lady.

“And of course, our first lady, Melania, is here. Look at So beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow,” Kimmel said to the delight of the studio audience.

Kimmel’s ten-minute monologue meant to, as Kimmel said, give him the opportunity to “do some of the jokes a comedian might do if our president wasn’t a trembling drama queen who’s scared of comedy,” aired just days before the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, which saw 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, reportedly charge through a metal detector and shoot a Secret Service agent in the chest before being tackled to the ground and taken into custody.

‘Staged Theatrical Event’: Bluesky Leftists Insist Latest Trump Assassination Attempt Was a False Flag

President Donald Trump was the apparent target of another assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday night.

The event was safely evacuated after shots were fired in the lobby as a man attempted to breach the Secret Service protection.

The suspect has since been identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen, a school teacher from Torrance, California.

A Secret Service Agent was shot and injured during the incident.

However, the miserable leftists over on Bluesky are absolutely convinced that the event was a “staged theatrical event.”

Among their wild theories was the idea that the attack would somehow increase Republican success in the midterms and distract from Trump’s alleged dealings with Jeffrey Epstein.

ICE Nabs Illegal Alien Pedophile In Virginia; Sanctuary Officials Ignored Detainer

ICE has arrested an illegal alien child sex predator in Abigail Spanberger’s Virginia. Authorities there tried to protect him by declining an ICE detainer last year and releasing him back into the community.

Of course they did.

The suspect, Roni Mendez-Escobar, a Guatemalan national, faced charges including multiple felony counts of possession of obscene material and child pornography with intent to distribute.

Fairfax County’s refusal to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement allowed him to remain free despite the detainer – exactly the outcome sanctuary policies are designed to produce.

This isn’t an isolated failure. It’s the predictable result of Virginia Democrats turning the state into a magnet for criminal illegal aliens while American families bear the cost. Spanberger ran as a “moderate,” yet her administration’s moves to limit cooperation with ICE have repeatedly put Virginia children and residents at risk.

Just weeks ago, ICE urged Spanberger not to release another criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, Misael Lopez Gomez, who allegedly bludgeoned his own three-month-old daughter to death with blunt force trauma in Fairfax.
