Sen. Josh Hawley said he’s been informed by whistleblowers that most of the agents assigned to protect Donald Trump during the assassination attempt at his Butler, Pa., rally in July were Homeland Security personnel who had minimal protective training. Instead of having dozens of Secret Service agents on his detail for the July 13 rally, Trump was mostly guarded by Homeland Security agents who only received online webinar training before the event, Hawley (R-Mo.) said in an interview on “Jesse Watters Primetime” Tuesday evening. “A two-hour, online webinar. And I’m told that half the time, the sounds to the webinar didn’t even work,”…
Sept. 4, 2024 3 AM PT To the editor: I take great umbrage that the brave souls resting at Arlington National Cemetery have been used as props for a draft-dodging, racist former president. There have been no members of Donald Trump’s family who have been “suckers” or “losers” and earned a place among our heroes. My great grandfather, all of his brothers, my grandfather, all of his brothers, all of my uncles, my stepfather and my brother are all resting in national cemeteries. My birth father, who was Bahamian, was honored with an American flag. They were all Black. Not…
U.S. Senate candidate Tim Sheehy is facing criticism after two recordings from November surfaced in which he appears to have characterized the Crow people as drunk in the morning and accused them of throwing beer cans at him in a parade. Sheehy is running as the hand-picked Republican looking to unseat incumbent Sen. Jon Tester, a Democrat and Montana’s lone Democratic leader in elected federal office. The former U.S. Navy SEAL and Bozeman businessman Sheehy made the comments in November, and those were reported first by Char-Koosta News, the official publication of the Flathead Indian Reservation. However, Sheehy appears to…

CLAIRTON, Pa. (KDKA) — A state Senate campaign is embroiled in controversy after one of the candidates crashed her car in Clairton on Saturday, leading to calls for an independent investigation. The allegation is Democrat Nicole Ruscitto, who is looking to unseat Republican state Sen.

Allegheny County Republican Chairman Sam DeMarco immediately issued a statement questioning why responding officers made no police…
Donald Trump’s campaign denounced Amazon as their popular Alexa devices provided vastly different answers to the same question about Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump. The gadget provided biased answers to users’ questions about the two presidential election nominees. The company claimed that the difference in answer was due to an “error” which has been fixed now and Alexa has no political opinion of its own. Trump campaign slams Amazon for Alexa’s biased political answers.

Former President Donald Trump’s behavior following his visit to Arlington National Cemetery last week just “fuels this fire” and shows that he does not “respect” service members who gave the ultimate sacrifice, former Trump White House aide Alyssa Farah Griffin said on Tuesday.Trump’s team has been assailed after reports circulated last week that members of his staff got into a physical altercation with Arlington National Cemetery officials after the former president’s campaign sought to film and take photographs in Section 60, the burial site of soldiers killed while fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.The incident was first reported by NPR, and…

Pat Toomey, who voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and again four years later, won’t be doing so a third time, he revealed Tuesday.On CNBC’s Squawk Box, Toomey explained that Trump’s refusal to concede his election loss in 2020 and his subsequent efforts to remain in power were a deciding factor.“When you lose an election and you try to overturn the results so that you can stay in power, you lose me. You lose me at that point,” said Toomey, who voted in favor of convicting Trump of incitement of insurrection during the former president’s impeachment trial…
A federal judge denied Donald Trump’s bid to move his hush money case in New York to a federal court on Tuesday, just two weeks before the former president is set to be sentenced after being convicted for falsifying business records to help his 2016 campaign.Despite the Supreme Court’s July decision that upheld limited presidential immunity for official acts taken while in office, District Judge Alvin Hellerstein of the Southern District of New York shot down Trump’s second attempt to move the criminal court case to federal court, arguing that “nothing in the Supreme Court’s opinion affects my previous conclusion…
