House Finds Secret Service Responsible For ‘Preventable’ Trump Assassination Attempt

House lawmakers tasked with investigating the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania said Monday that the attack never would have happened had the Secret Service been prepared.

The House Task Force on the July 13 assassination attempt in Butler released a 53-page interim report detailing the “stunning security failures” that led to Trump being struck in the ear by a bullet fired by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. These failures included numerous communication errors and inadequate planning to secure the site. 

“Put simply, the evidence obtained by the Task Force to date shows the tragic and shocking events of July 13 were preventable and should not have happened,” the task force said. 

One of the key findings of the report concluded that the security perimeter set up by the Secret Service allowed people to get within around 150 yards of the stage where Trump was speaking without going through security screening.

Democrats in tight Senate races run ads touting their work with Trump

Ads have been released that show four Democratic Senate candidates in battleground states either working with former President Donald Trump or agreeing with his messaging as the November election is less than a month away.

Campaign ads for Rep. Elissa Slotkin in Michigan, Sen. Sherrod Brown in Ohio, Sen. Bob Casey in Pennsylvania, and Sen. Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin focus on the Democratic candidates’ alliance with Trump or his policies, implying that aligning with the former president may benefit their campaigns more than siding with Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

While Trump is behind Harris by 1.4 points nationally according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, he leads the vice president in every battleground state.

Slotkin, who is running for Senate, released an ad in which she criticized electric vehicle mandates and promoted manufacturing EVs in the U.S.

“I live on a dirt road, nowhere near a charging station, so I don’t own an electric car,” Slotkin said. “No one should tell us what to buy, and no one is gonna mandate anything. But here’s the thing: If there’s gonna be a new generation of vehicles, I want that new generation built right here in Michigan, not China.”

However, Slotkin voted against the GOP-led bill last month that would have blocked the Environmental Protection Agency’s new emissions standards requiring up to two-thirds of new cars sold to be EVs by 2032.

In Ohio, an ad produced by a PAC for Brown noted that “he wrote a bill that Donald Trump signed to crack down on drugs at the border.”

Meanwhile, a clip of a Casey ad described how the senator “sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China to stop them from cheating.”

In Baldwin’s ad, it says, “Tammy Baldwin got President Trump to sign her Made in America bill. Then she got President Biden to make it permanent.”

The Trump campaign criticized the Democrats’ ads, distancing them from the GOP presidential nominee.

Man Arrested Over ‘Third Assassination Attempt’ Had ‘No Intention’ to Kill Trump at Coachella Rally, Close Friend Claims

Vem Miller, a known pro-Trump activist and right-wing documentarian, was arrested near a rally for former President Donald Trump in Coachella, California. 

The arrest has spurred intense discussions, with some questioning the motives behind his detention and others highlighting his history as a fervent supporter of the former president.

Mindy Robinson, a fellow conservative documentarian and business partner of Miller, spoke out vehemently against the arrest, emphasizing that Miller had no intention of harming Trump. 

“He’s a big, huge Trump supporter. It’s what we’ve been doing for years,” Robinson said, adding that the accusations of him plotting to assassinate Trump are unfounded.

Biden Has Reportedly Told Iran That Assassinating Trump Would Be “An Act Of War”

Joe Biden has reportedly instructed his National Security Council to make it clear to Iran that killing president Trump would constitute an act of war.

Fox News reports that Biden has signalled that if anything happens to Trump at the hands of airman it will trigger a US military response.

The development comes after the Trump campaign sought presidential level protection for the GOP nominee and even military protection against possible drone and missile strikes.

“We consider this a national and homeland security matter of the highest priority, and we strongly condemn Iran for these brazen threats,” National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savitt previously said in a statement.

“We have ensured that appropriate agencies are continuously and promptly providing the former president’s security detail with evolving threat information,” the statement continued.

Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Warns An Assassination Attempt On Orbán Being Prepared

In an interview with his country’s National Defense magazine, Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Vulin commented on recent assassination attempts in the lives of Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and former U.S. President Donald Trump, as well as the death of former Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, while warning that an attempt on the life of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is being prepared.

“We also received information that an assassination attempt was being prepared on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán,” the deputy chairman of the Serbian government said.

According to Vulin, the threat to the life and security of “politicians objectionable to the West” is “far from accidental.” He noted that all of them favor starting peace talks to end the Ukraine war. In August, Vulin said that after the assassination attempts on Fico and Trump, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is also in danger.

Repeated Attempts on Trump’s Life: A Major Threat to Democracy Ignored by the Administration

Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have repeatedly called Trump a threat to democracy, while ignoring the real threat posed the many assassination attempts against him.

The fact that Iran has been linked to at least one of these attacks and that the FBI warned Trump that Iran is trying to kill him should be ringing alarm bells all over Washington. Instead, the media is downplaying the attacks.

Democrats and liberals on Twitter are either mocking the situation or criticizing Trump for bringing up these assassination attempts.

Meanwhile, the administration, beyond issuing an official statement, has made no effort to recognize or address the ongoing pattern of threats.

Due to the media and the administration’s disregard, most Americans believe there have only been two attempts, when in reality, the actual number is more than double that.

There have been more than four attempts or plots on Donald Trump’s life, each highlighting the ongoing threat to his security. In 2016, at a Las Vegas rally, British national Michael Steven Sandford attempted to seize a police officer’s gun to assassinate Trump but was arrested and later deported.

Fast forward to July 2024, during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Thomas Matthew Crooks shot Trump in the ear, injuring others and killing one attendee before being taken down by Secret Service agents.

Just a day before this shooting, Asif Merchant, a Pakistani national allegedly tied to Iranian operatives, was arrested for plotting to assassinate Trump and other U.S. officials after hiring an undercover FBI agent posing as a hitman.

Another attempt came in September 2024 when Ryan Wesley Routh was arrested at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, armed with an AK-47 and charged with attempted assassination.

Most recently, in October 2024, Vem Miller was arrested near a Trump rally in Coachella, California, with an AK-47 and other weapons, though officials later stated that Trump was not in immediate danger.

Repeated assassination attempts or plots against a political figure like Donald Trump pose a significant threat to the stability of democracy.

Third Trump assassination attempt thwarted when armed man arrested outside Coachella rally, sheriff says

A third assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump was thwarted at the last minute Saturday when local cops stopped a man armed with guns and fake passes outside his rally at Coachella Valley, the local sheriff said.

The suspect was caught about a mile from the rally venue with a phony-entry pass, according to police. He was also carrying a loaded shotgun, handgun and high capacity magazine.

“We probably stopped another assassination attempt,” Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said.

The suspect, identified as Vem Miller, was intercepted by police at a checkpoint about a half-mile from the rally entrance. He was carrying a fake phony press and VIP passes.

Dirty Barack Obama Who Was Caught Spying on Candidate and President-Elect Trump – Now Takes Credit for Trump’s Booming Economy

Democrats turned to Barack Obama this week to stop the bleeding from the Kamala Harris campaign.

Obama spoke in Pennsylvania on Thursday and used his time on stage to attack President Donald Trump and then lie about his record.

During his appearance in Pennsylvania on Thursday Barack Obama attempted to take credit for the booming Trump economy.

What a crock.

Obama has a lot of nerve slandering President Trump. After all, it was the Obama Administration that was caught spying on the Trump Campaign, President-elect Trump, Trump’s family, and the Trump administration.

Here is a reminder on how Barack Obama was caught spying on Trump from our earlier reporting.

The Gateway Pundit was the first to report back in 2018 that the Deep State was using foreigners to spy on then-candidate Trump in 2015.  President Trump tweeted our report by Joe Hoft the following day and the fake news mainstream media immediately attacked him for promoting what they called a “conspiracy theory.”

We later discovered more evidence in 2020 that we were 100% correct in our initial reporting.

Joe Hoft reported on this development at the time.  In June of 2018 The Gateway Pundit posted an article identifying unredacted words in previously redacted texts between corrupt cops Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, two individuals supposedly having an affair and key players at the top of the FBI involved in spying on candidate and then President Trump.

The discovery came from an individual on Twitter who was later removed from the platform, named Nick Falco, who identified a word uncovered in a Senate text that the corrupt DOJ previously redacted.

DHS Sec. Mayorkas Bristles at Reporters Asking How CIA-Linked Afghan ISIS Terror Suspect Was Allowed Into U.S.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas lashed out at reporters for asking him how his agency allowed an Afghan terror suspect into the U.S. without proper vetting.

Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, a former CIA security contractor, was arrested by the FBI in Oklahoma City Monday for plotting a terrorist attack against large crowds on Election Day.

According to the DOJ’s charging documents, Tawhedi was brought into the U.S. on a Special Immigrant Visa, which are given to Afghans who worked with the U.S. in Afghanistan after they pass DHS screening.

But State Department sources familiar with Tawhedi’s arrest contend that the DOJ’s charging document is incorrect, and that Tawhedi entered the U.S. on humanitarian parole. 

During a White House press briefing a reporter asked Mayorkas, who appeared remotely from North Carolina, to clarify the discrepancy between his agency and the DOJ.

“How was this man brought into the U.S.? What screening did he undergo? What did he apply for to get here?” the reporter asked.

A visibly irritated Mayorkas snapped at the reporter and tried to pivot to FEMA’s response to the Hurricane Helene aftermath.

“I’m here in North Carolina, we’re communicating with the individuals who are still conducting search and rescue operations,” Mayorkas responded. “Over 200 people lost their lives in Hurricane Helene. We have reports that at least 10 individuals have lost their lives as a result of Hurricane Milton. I’d be very pleased to answer your question in a different setting, but we’re here to talk about emergencies and the support that we can deliver to people in desperate need. Thank you.”

But the reporter pressed him again to clarify conflicting answers between the DHS and DOJ’s reason for bringing suspected terrorist Tawhedi into the U.S.

“I understand that Mr. Secretary, but we’re getting conflicting answers from your agency and the State Department about a man who arrested for an Election Day terror plot. How do you not have those answers prepared?” the reporter asked.

Mayorkas snapped, “Jackie, that’s not what I said. What I said is I’d be pleased to discuss, uh, this issue at a different time, but I am here to speak about disasters that have impacted people’s lives in real time, and that is the subject that I’m addressing today.”

Kamala Harris Rushes to Accept CNN’s Debate Offer to Save Face — Trump Rejects Rigged Mainstream Circus Setup

Kamala Harris is desperately clinging to any opportunity to regain her political footing after a string of underwhelming performances.

CNN’s offer to host a second presidential debate on October 23 in Atlanta seemed like a lifeline for Harris, who quickly accepted the invitation, confident that the far-left network will shield her from tough scrutiny.

“CNN sent invitations on September 21 to both Vice President Harris and former President Trump’s campaigns to participate in a CNN debate this fall as we believe the American people would benefit from a second debate between the two candidates for President of the United States,” the far-left network said in a statement.

“With less than 30 days to Election Day, we are placing a deadline for a formal response from both campaigns for this Thursday, October 10 at 12 p.m. ET to participate,” the network added.

However, former President Donald Trump isn’t falling into CNN’s trap. He’s well aware of the network’s slanted coverage and refuses to participate in a rigged mainstream circus.

Trump’s rejection of the debate isn’t just a strategic move; it’s a stance against the very media machine that has propped up Harris and her failing campaign.

Harris, now left to fend for herself, tried to paint Trump as afraid of another face-off.

“Trump should have no problem agreeing since it is the same format and setup as the CNN debate he attended and said he won in June, when he praised CNN’s moderators, rules, and ratings,” according to Harris’ campaign.

His decision to decline isn’t just about the timing—it’s about refusing to engage with a network that has lost all credibility. CNN may have once been the gold standard of debate hosts, but under its current leadership, it’s little more than a PR firm for the Democrat Party.
