Bombshell congressional report on Trump assassination attempt reveals 'who REALLY took the first shot at Thomas Crooks' | Daily Mail Online - By Will Potter
- A bombshell congressional report claims would-be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks was incapacitated by a local cop before he was killed by a Secret Service sniper...
- While it was initially claimed that Crooks was shot in the head within seconds by a Secret Service sniper, Higgins' report claimed it was actually a local SWAT operator who stopped the gunman's hail of bullets.
- The congressman said the local cop's shot 'hit Crooks' rifle and fragged his face/ neck/ right shoulder area from the (gun) stock breaking up', which meant Crooks was unable to keep firing before he was killed.
- It comes amid mounting scrutiny on the FBI and Secret Service's investigations into the shooting, weeks after Higgins also revealed Crooks' body was mysteriously cremated with approval from the FBI after just 10 days.

- More than a quarter of physicians who participated in traditional Medicare don’t participate in any ACA plan.
- And many doctors don’t accept Medicare because of its low payment rates...

Thus, Immigration and Customs Enforcement “has no assurance UCs are safe from trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor.”
Four days later, at a rally in Arizona, former President Donald Trump called attention to the missing children.
“This is impossible to believe. Listen to this: 325,000 migrant children are gone. They’re missing. [Harris] allowed them to be trafficked into our country. Many of these children are now in sex slavery, or they’re dead!” the former president said in a clip posted to the social media platform X.

CO Mayor Asks for Migrant Gang Eviction, Gov. Polis Dismisses Problem
CO Mayor Asks for Migrant Gang Eviction, Gov. Polis Dismisses Problem:
Aurora, Colorado, officials are asking the courts to let them evict Venezuelan migrant gangs from apartment buildings, even as Democrat Gov. Jared Polis keeps dismissing video reports of gang takeovers.
Only two days ago, Polis and his spokespeople were telling Americans to ignore their lying eyes concerning video of armed migrant gangs taking over apartment buildings and forcing citizens to turn their rent money over to the gang.
From the New York Post -They asked a a 28-year-old George Mason University librarian what she thought Harris' policies are.

Not even Kamala Harris’ biggest fans can say what the flip-flopping VP stands for
In recent weeks, The Post has spoken to several swing-state voters who plan to cast ballots for Harris. The majority of them painted a vague picture of what the vice president stands for.

“I haven’t been that invested in the news, but from what I’ve seen, knowing about her beginnings as attorney general of California to where she is now as vice president to presidential candidate — she has always seemed to stay true to herself, even though she changes her mind,” she added. “I think she really sees [illegal immigration] more as an opportunity for growth and development as in keeping in tune of what most Americans want.”This sentence frustrates me to no end:
"She has always seemed to stay true to herself, even though she changes her mind..."
- How do you stay true to yourself by constantly changing your mind?...
