Trump Attempted Assassin’s Identity Still Not Known in Butler, PA

AbleChild has recently obtained a copy of the much sought after autopsy results of alleged attempted assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks. In a word, the autopsy leaves a lot to be desired and, frankly, even with the autopsy, the public still has not been provided physical evidence to, once and for all, indict Thomas Matthew Crooks as the shooter.

First, the autopsy of the alleged shooter was only made public when the Headline USA reporter, Kenneth Silva, filed suit with the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records (OOR) to obtain “the medical examiner case information summary, as well as all lab analysis reports, exam images, pathology reports, histology slide recuts, toxicology reports, and scene images for Thomas Matthew Crooks.” The request also included “all records that document the transportation and chain of custody of Crooks’s body from the crime scene to the Alleghany (sic) County Office of the Medical Examiner or any other coroner’s office, including yours – including all internal communications about this decision.”

As expected, and in keeping with all the other investigative reports and materials surrounding this attempted assassination, the request was denied. Silva appealed and was awarded the right to the autopsy but any information dealing with the “histology slides (which would determine the DNA of the shooter), crime scene photos and exam images were denied.

What is most interesting is that despite the entire free world still blabbing about Thomas Matthew Crooks being the shooter, the data released by the Allegheny County Medical Examiner (ME) not only doesn’t describe how the body autopsied was identified, but admits that the Butler County Coroner, William Young, did not provide written communications about the transport or chain of custody of the deceased. Why?

For the record, neither the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Secret Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), Butler Police Depts., Butler County Coroner, or the Allegheny County Medical Examiner have publicly provided any physical evidence that conclusively identifies Crooks as the shooter.

The move to conceal the flight data of a congressman’s SECRET $1.5 million helicopter

A congressman who represents one of the poorest districts in Pennsylvania appears to have gone great lengths to hide that he owns a $1.5 million helicopter. 

NOTUS reported on Friday that Republican Rep. Rob Bresnahan owns a 2024 Robinson R66, a chopper that retails between $1 million and $1.5 million. 

Bresnahan has yet to list the helicopter on his congressional financial disclosure forms. 

He’s never spoken about it publicly and it’s unlisted on the popular flight tracking website FlightAware.

‘This aircraft (N422RB) is not available for public tracking per request from the owner/operator,’ a message reads, NOTUS found. 

The news site was able to get a spokesperson to admit Bresnahan was the owner by analyzing Federal Aviation Administration record, other congressional financial disclosures and commercial flight data made available by the ADS-B Exchange website.

The website found that he purchased the helicopter in late 2024 using a limited liability company called ‘RPB Ventures LLC.’ 

A spokesperson for Bresnahan told NOTUS that the Pennsylvania Republican bought the helicopter while he was campaigning for Congress last year.

The Vault Files: The 1965 Kecksburg, Pennsylvania Crash

The Kecksburg UFO incident of December 9, 1965 remains one of the most intriguing unresolved cases of a mysterious object falling from the sky. Often dubbed “Pennsylvania’s Roswell,” it involved reports of a fiery fireball streaking over several U.S. states and Canada, a crash in the woods near the village of Kecksburg, and an alleged military recovery of an unknown object[1]. Over the decades, the incident has been the subject of intense speculation – from meteor to secret Cold War satellite to extraterrestrial craft – and persistent efforts by investigators to unearth official records. This deep dive examines all angles of the Kecksburg case, drawing on eyewitness accounts, media reports, and released government documents (many obtained via The Black Vault’s FOIA requests) to present a balanced, evidence-backed picture of what we know.

On the early evening of December 9, 1965, just as dusk fell, a brilliant fireball was observed by citizens across at least six U.S. states and Ontario, Canada[2]. Witnesses from Detroit, Michigan to Windsor, Ontario saw a flaming object streak through the sky, dropping hot metal debris over parts of Ohio and Michigan and even igniting some grass fires[2]. Sonic booms rattled the Pittsburgh area as the object passed overhead[2]. In the rural community of Kecksburg, Pennsylvania (about 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh), residents reported hearing a “thump” or impact and seeing blue wisps of smoke rising from the woods[3]. Something appeared to have crashed into a wooded ravine nearby[3].

Authorities responded swiftly. Pennsylvania State Police and local volunteer firefighters were among the first on scene, but they were soon joined by U.S. military personnel. The area was quickly sealed off, with state troopers establishing a perimeter and ordering civilians back. According to later accounts, approximately 25 U.S. Army soldiers (reportedly from a nearby base) and a few U.S. Air Force members arrived to scour a 75-acre patch of woods for the object[4]. Roadblocks were set up, and some curious onlookers who tried to sneak in were turned away at gunpoint by armed military guards[4] – an unusually strong response for what many assumed was a simple meteorite fall.

Homosexual who fundraised to get baby through surrogacy exposed as pedophile

Logan Riley and Brandon Keith Mitchell of Seven Valleys, Pennsylvania, made a big show of their efforts to secure custody of a baby boy through surrogacy.

Although they apparently started the process in 2019, the homosexual couple began hitting up strangers for cash in 2020 on GoFundMe to help expand their “family by using a gestational surrogate.”

A Nov. 3, 2023, update on their now-deleted fundraising page stated: “Since our last post, we successfully created four embryos through an egg donor program in 2020. After three long years of searching, a family friend … reached out in early 2023 to see if we were still looking. After multiple conversations and a great connection with her family, we decided to proceed.”

The couple recently shared a compilation video on social media featuring them repeatedly kissing a baby boy reportedly in their custody.

The video was subsequently reshared on X by critics concerned about the boy’s well-being as well as about homosexual adoption in general. Despite accusations of bigotry, it turns out that the critics were right to worry, as the boy is now allegedly in the custody of a registered sex offender.

State documents indicate that Mitchell, age 30 at the time, was arrested and charged in early February 2016 with three felony counts of possession of child pornography; endangering the welfare of children; corruption of a minor; felony sexual abuse of a minor; and felony photographing/videotaping sexual acts in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

‘Riddled With Errors,’ Dirty Voter Rolls Pose Growing Threat To Election Integrity

Battleground Pennsylvania appears to have thousands of “shady” voter registrations on its rolls, according to a review by an election integrity watchdog. And Pennsylvania’s problems speak to a wider issue of dirty voter files, the reluctance of state elections officials to clean them up, and what that all means for the principle of free and fair elections.  

The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) on Thursday said it sent a formal letter to Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt detailing “alarming findings” from its review of the Keystone State’s voter files. 

PILF Research Director Logan Churchwell said the examination found more than 19,000 potential interstate duplicate registrations, thousands of same-address duplicates, and hundreds of records with placeholder and fake dates of birth. 

“The Pennsylvania voter roll is riddled with errors that undermine the integrity of the election process,” said PILF President J. Christian Adams in a press release. “Our findings in Pennsylvania are consistent with patterns we have exposed in other states like Maine and New Jersey.”

As of this summer, Pennsylvania’s voter rolls contained 19,489 registrants with matched voter registration files in second states, according to the watchdog’s review. Nearly 10,000 of those duplicates came from Florida, another 5,700 were from New York, and 2,400-plus in California. The review also included matches in New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio and Maine.  

“The Foundation’s relational database was designed to house voter registration rolls from every state to run comparative analytics,” Churchwell wrote in the letter to Schmidt. Copied on the letter are Harmeet Dhillon, U.S. assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, and Maureen Riordan, acting voting section chief at the U.S. Department of Justice.

Churchwell said the tracking process uses secondary or mailing address data stored by the state of Pennsylvania to follow the registrant to a second address to check for a matching registration. The process is then reversed by “checking other states’ mailing address data, which lead to addresses in Pennsylvania. A registrant is flagged if names and birthdates perfectly match. “

The foundation’s review found 3,170 instances of duplicate registrants where variations in name spelling or nicknames have uncovered duplications at the same residential addresses. PILF’s review also captured a sample of 79 intercounty duplicates. 

And the foundation’s latest tally finds at least 321 registrants flagged for having placeholder or false dates of birth.

U. Pittsburgh teaches high school students, teachers to be ‘social justice’ activists

The University of Pittsburgh has partnered with local public high schools through the Justice Scholars Institute to “prepare young people to be advocates for change and social justice.”

The institute’s emphasis on creating “social justice” activists raises questions about whether the program is truly about education or if it’s about advancing a political agenda.

“The term ‘social justice’ is designed to make radical political views sound non-political and virtuous,” Paul Runko, director of strategic initiatives for K-12 programs for Defending Education, told The College Fix in a recent interview.

“You’re not opposed to justice, are you? Because that would make you a supporter of injustice. The phrase itself has no concrete meaning, which is part of why it is so useful,” Runko said. Defending Education is “a national grassroots organization working to restore schools at all levels from activists imposing harmful agendas.”

Through the university’s Justice Scholars Institute, high school students in Pittsburgh public schools can take college-level courses and earn credits.

The educational program is aimed at equipping students “to become change agents within their school, community, and broader world,” according to its website.

 Pennsylvania Democrat Politician Confesses to Cold-Blooded Murder During Meeting

A local Democrat politician made a shocking confession during a meeting this week that should prompt a full investigation.

As WKBN reported, Mel Witherspoon, the Democratic City Council President for Erie City, PA, flat-out admitted to killing another man decades ago when he was a teenager during the City Council’s bi-monthly meeting.

“I’m 17. I’m involved with a gang, the largest gang in Newark, New Jersey. I organize. We went over to Jersey City looking for the person,” the 80-year-old Witherspoon said. “Well, when we got there, we didn’t realize it was a family. And when you talk Jersey City and you talk family, you’re talking the mafia.”

Witherspoon went on to say that he was living in Omaha, Nebraska, at the time and bought a gun there. He then said some men came to his room and got high on drugs (likely marijuana).

The Democrat next dropped a bombshell: he shot a man with the first name Nick after the guys left, telling the man he could blow his head off.

“They left. I had the clip in my gun. Nick came into my room, Witherspoon explained. “I said, ‘You know, Nick, I can blow your head off.’ He said, ‘Go ahead.’ And I did. I shot him in the head point-blank. This close (pointing at his head).”

Did Witherspoon not realize that he confessed to murder?

Paranormal Investigator Dies Suddenly While on Tour With “Haunted” Annabelle Doll

A paranormal investigator has died while touring with the infamous “haunted” Annabelle doll.

Dan Rivera, 54, died on Sunday night while he was in Pennsylvania with the Annabelle doll as part of his “Devils on the Run” tour.

Adams County medics and firefighters were called to Rivera’s hotel room on Sunday and gave him CPR, but he was later pronounced dead.

The cause of his death is still under investigation.

Per TMZ:

A paranormal investigator on his creepy “haunted” Annabelle doll tour in the “haunted” battlefield town of Gettysburg has died … completely out of the blue.

Dan Rivera, 54, was in Pennsylvania for his “Devils on the Run” tour — hauling the infamous doll across the country — when firefighters and medics rushed to his hotel Sunday night.

Adams County dispatch logs reveal a call for CPR in progress on a man matching Rivera’s age. Rivera’s death was confirmed by the New England Society for Psychic Research, where he was the lead investigator. His exact cause of death remains unclear.

Rivera, a fixture in the paranormal world, was doing what he loved — bringing spooky legends to life — when tragedy hit. He’d built serious ghost-hunting cred and a social media following off the eerie superstitions tied to Annabelle’s haunted past.
