Representative who Tried to Re-Enact Trump Shooting Scenario Landed 15 of 16 ‘Kill Shots’ Despite Lack of Shooting Experience
The Secret Service has a lot to answer for when it comes to their actions the day that shots were fired at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, and among the many pieces of the puzzle that don’t add up, the fact that 20-year-old shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to access the roof of a building so close to the former president is perhaps one of the toughest to accept.
Crooks managed to get up onto a rooftop situated less than 150 yards from Trump, where he opened fire on the crowd, grazing Trump’s ear, killing a former volunteer firefighter chief, and critically wounding two other attendees.
Representative Pat Fallon (R-Texas) set out to recreate the incident with his own AR-15 to try to better understand how things went down that day. He noted that he has never had long-gun training and has only shot his weapon on one occasion six years ago.
He recreated the conditions of the incident in Savoy, Texas, and reported his findings in a House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing on Monday.
“I was lying prone on a sloped roof at 130 yards at 6:30 at night. And I knew that he had a scope. I didn’t know what kind, red dot or magnified, so I shot eight rounds from both,” he told the committee.
“You know what the result was? Fifteen out of 16 kill shots! And the one I missed would have hit the president’s ear. That’s a 94 percent success rate, and that shooter was a better shot than me. It’s a miracle President Trump wasn’t killed,” he added.
Crooks reportedly went shooting on multiple occasions and was a member of a local gun club, with his father.
Rep. Fallon’s comments came as he questioned Secret Service Director Kimbery Cheatle, who admitted to being aware of a heightened threat to Trump at the time of the rally.
“You just said you had the ability to beef up the security. You knew about the threat, and you didn’t. And that’s as telling as it is chilling,” Fallon told her.
He went on to point out that the shooter visited the location more times than Cheatle did, even using a drone to scout out a good position to fire from.
The question of how the gunman was able to get close enough to Trump to take such a clear shot at him – one that, according to Fallon, is nearly unmissable – was a big focus of the heated committee hearing, during which Cheatle faced repeated calls from both sides of the aisle to resign.
Sloped roof comment makes no sense
Cheatle also took a lot of flak for saying that the Secret Service didn’t place snipers on the rooftop from which Crooks fired because it was sloped, so they chose to “secure the building from inside” instead.
However, it was clearly not too sloped for a sniper, as evidenced by the fact that an untrained 20-year-old had no trouble shooting from it, and photos showed it was barely sloped and that agents were placed on other nearby rooftops that were more sloped.
Fallon told Cheatle that her “horrifying ineptitude” was a “disgrace” and said she should be fired immediately, while Representative Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) told her that she was “full of s—t” and said she was “being completely dishonest” after repeatedly sidestepping questions about whether her agency had complied with the committee’s request for a list of all law enforcement agents working at the site, along with all of the audio and video recordings in their possession.
Her evasive language throughout the questioning only deepened calls for her to step down. She resigned the following day in a letter taking full responsibility for what she characterized as a “security lapse.”

West Using Energy Supplies to Blackmail Opponents – Moscow
The West is using energy supplies to blackmail countries that oppose its policies, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Tuesday.
She was referring to Brussels’ reluctance to support its member states Hungary and Slovakia in an impasse over disrupted oil flows through Ukraine.
Kiev stopped the transit of crude from major Russian supplier Lukoil via the Druzhba pipeline earlier this month, citing sanctions on the energy major, thus depriving the two countries of oil that meets up to 40% of their needs.
In response to the move, Budapest and Bratislava jointly initiated consultations with the bloc and asked the EU to mediate in the dispute. However, Brussels stalled the request, claiming it needed time to “gather evidence and assess the legal situation.”
The EU’s reluctance to interfere comes as no surprise to Russia, as Hungary and Slovakia are the only EU member states that have opposed the bloc’s policy of providing military aid to Ukraine in its conflict with Moscow.

“The West is using energy resources as an instrument not just of a political battle but of direct pressure and blackmail against countries and nations,” Zakharova told Izvestia.
Landlocked Slovakia and Hungary were granted exemptions from an EU-wide ban on Russian oil supplies in 2022 to ensure their energy security. They are the only EU member states that have opposed the bloc’s policy of providing military aid to Ukraine and have repeatedly called for a diplomatic solution to the crisis.
“One of the tasks set by the so-called collective West, particularly by Washington and London, to the Kiev regime and for which they paid quite well, was to turn Russia’s energy cooperation with the Western European countries into an endless zone of turbulence,” Zakharova said.
Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico warned on Monday that Bratislava would halt diesel supplies to Ukraine if Kiev doesn’t resume the transit of Russian oil via its territory, noting that Slovak deliveries account for one-tenth of Ukraine’s diesel consumption.
Kiev imposed sanctions on Lukoil, Russia’s second-largest oil company, in June, freezing its assets and placing restrictions on trade operations.

Bohemian Club Uses Copyright Strikes to Scrub Ritual Footage
A video uploaded by a citizen journalist, known by the pseudonym “Dancer,” was removed from YouTube after the Bohemian Club issued a copyright strike against the footage, which captured scenes from the secretive Bohemian Grove’s annual ceremony.
Dancer filmed parts of the “Cremation of Care” ceremony, a private event held within the confines of the 2,700-acre retreat in Monte Rio, California. The Bohemian Club, a private club known for its high-profile membership including politicians, business leaders, and artists, asserts strict privacy policies and prohibits any recording devices at the gathering.
Tucked away in the ancient redwood forests of Monte Rio, California, lies a 2,700-acre retreat known as Bohemian Grove. This exclusive enclave hosts a private all-male membership that comprises some of the most influential figures in politics, business, and the arts. Annually, members of the Bohemian Club, which was founded in San Francisco in 1872, gather for a two-week retreat that is both a sanctuary from the public eye and a subject of substantial controversy.
Bohemian Grove continues to be shrouded in mystique and controversy. While members may argue that the retreat serves as a critical decompression chamber away from the limelight, the secrecy surrounding its ritualistic activities fuels ongoing debates about transparency.
Copyright strikes have become a prevalent tool for removing controversial footage from online platforms, a trend that raises significant concerns about the suppression of free speech and transparency.
While these legal mechanisms are designed to protect intellectual property rights, they are increasingly leveraged by corporations, private entities, and even government bodies to censor material deemed sensitive or damaging. This practice not only restricts public access to potentially important information but also stifles discourse and debate, particularly when the content in question involves powerful figures or institutions.
This incident has added fuel to the ongoing controversy surrounding Bohemian Grove, which has been criticized for its secrecy and alleged influence on global affairs. Activists and transparency advocates have long demanded more insight into the club’s annual gatherings, suggesting that the decisions made behind closed doors should be subject to public scrutiny.

Jill Biden Praises Anti-Christian Olympic Ceremony that Mocked the Last Supper: ‘Spectacular!’
PARIS (LifeSiteNews) — First Lady Jill Biden believes the anti-Christian opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics was “spectacular.”
Biden is in France attending the games with a delegation from the U.S. that includes Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, among others.

Biden made her remarks during a brunch in Paris on Monday that was celebrating the upcoming 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
“So, last night, it was just spectacular,” Biden said. “The rain did not dampen our spirits. Every step of the way, I was thinking to myself, ‘Oh my god, oh my god. How are we going to top this?’”
This year’s opening ceremony has been rebuked by a growing number of prominent public figures, politicians, and religious leaders, primarily due to its blasphemous depiction of the Last Supper.
“This was disrespectful to Christians,” X CEO Elon Musk said.
This is “seemingly Satanic,” Donald Trump Jr. remarked. “Using the games to push woke ideology has zero to do with anything the games stand for.”
Bishop Joseph Strickland called the event a “new low for our human community.”
The bigotry toward Christians and the blasphemy of Jesus Christ, God’s Divine Son on display at the Olympics is a new low for our human community. Shame on those who produced this mockery, shame on the Olympic Committee and the nation of France for allowing it. This tarnishes… pic.twitter.com/NLQuARKHyu
— Bishop J. Strickland (@BishStrickland) July 27, 2024
While many other Catholic clergy have rebuked the event and called for boycotts and reparations to be made, Pope Francis has refused to do so thus far.
Biden and her husband Joe have taken many steps to advance left-wing and LGBT causes for many years. In 2008, she joined Michelle Obama in criticizing then-GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, whose wife, Cindy, had said that abortion was not a major issue for voters. Jill Biden said that supporting abortion was something “I think [is] very important, personally.”
In 2012, Biden told students at Colorado College that “we’ve fought so hard for Roe v. Wade, for access to contraception, and equal rights.”

As First Lady, while wearing a rosary, she told students during a trip to Africa in February 2023 to use contraception. On “International Women’s Day” last year, she bestowed an award to a gender-confused Argentinian man, for which she was roundly mocked by social conservatives. At the 2024 State of the Union address, Biden invited a woman who destroyed her preborn daughter who had trisomy 18 in a late-term abortion.
The choreographer of the opening ceremony was Thomas Jolly, a 42-year-old homosexual Jewish man who works in the art industry as an actor and theater director. Pro-homosexual website PinkNews relates that he has “explored LGBTQ+ themes in his stage work.” He claimed that he wanted to make sure “everyone feels represented” in the ceremony.
Biden’s praise for Jolly’s anti-Christian efforts echoes comments made by French President Emmanuel Macron, who also acclaimed Jolly for his “creative genius.”
Olympic organizers have since issued a half-hearted apology for the ceremony, saying they were sorry “if anyone was offended.”

Harley-Davidson Facing Boycott over DEI Pride Events FOR KIDS
Iconic motorcycle brand Harley-Davidson is facing criticism from conservative groups for its promotion of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, including supporting Pride events that target children.
The company, which generates $6 billion annually and is known for its tough, rebellious image, is under fire after critics highlighted its DEI initiativesand urged riders to boycott the brand.
Robby Starbuck, an online influencer, has been very vocal about exposing Harley-Davidson’s support for various progressive causes, including policies on transgender care for children, critical race theory and prioritizing minority groups in business.
This backlash is similar to those faced by other companies, like John Deere and Bud Light, which have been criticized for their support of LGBTQ+ and other progressive causes which harm consumers and turn them away.
(Related: John Deere abandons WOKE DEI corporate policies following backlash from conservative activists.)
Supporters of DEI initiatives argue that they help increase the representation of women and ethnic, sexual and gender minorities in the workplace. However, critics view these efforts as “tokenistic” and believe they disproportionately impact straight White men.
Starbuck, a former House candidate for the Republican primary in Tennessee, expressed his concern, stating that Harley-Davidson seems to have lost touch with its core customer base. He cited several examples of the company’s actions, such as supporting the Democrat-sponsored Equality Act, funding Pride events and requiring employees to undergo LGBTQ+ ally training, among others.
According to Starbuck, Harley-Davidson’s CEO Jochen Zeitz has pushed the company towards a more progressive stance, including a commitment to DEI policies. These efforts have included forming partnerships with organizations like the Wisconsin LGBT Chamber of Commerce and the Human Rights Campaign and supporting initiatives like the “United for Equity” program by United Way. The company has also introduced employee resource groups that focus on gender, race and sexual identity.
Starbuck encouraged conservative customers to voice their concerns and consider whether Harley-Davidson’s values align with their own. He suggested that consumers use their purchasing power to support companies that reflect their values and avoid those that promote ideologies they disagree with.
Harley-Davidson has been a symbol of freedom and rebellion for over a century. Known for its iconic motorcycles and the culture of independence it represents, the brand has attracted a diverse group of riders who value the open road and the sense of adventure that comes with it.
Many customers alienated by Harley-Davidson’s new direction
There are mixed reactions to Harley-Davidson’s actions. While some people support the company’s efforts to be more inclusive and diverse, others feel alienated. Social media has played a significant role in spreading both support and criticism, showing how public opinion is divided on this issue.
Harley-Davidson has not publicly responded to criticisms but the controversy reflects a broader trend of conservative-led boycotts against brands that support progressive policies. While some customers may find Harley-Davidson’s DEI efforts uncontroversial, others feel alienated by the company’s direction, The situation highlights the challenges companies face in navigating social and political issues in today’s divided climate.
As Harley-Davidson navigates this controversy, questions remain about how it will balance its traditional image with new social responsibilities. The company is at a crossroads – trying to reconcile differing viewpoints among its customer base. Customers are encouraged to express their opinions respectfully, as their feedback is crucial in shaping the company’s future direction.

Trump Agrees to FBI Interview for Assassination Attempt Probe
Former US President and Republican Party 2024 presidential nominee Donald Trump said he would sit for an interview with the FBI, as part of an investigation into this month’s attempt on his life, the agency announced on Monday.
Trump narrowly avoided death at a rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month, when he was shot in the ear. One person in the audience was killed, and two more were wounded.
The FBI wants to “get his perspective on what he observed, just like any other witness to the crime,” Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office Kevin Rojek told reporters in a conference call. He explained that this kind of interview is standard practice for a victim of a crime.
More than two weeks following the attempt on Trump, the FBI investigation has yet to establish the shooter’s motive.

The gunman, later identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired several shots at the Republican presidential nominee as he was mid-speech at an open-air campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, grazing Trump’s ear.
“While the FBI investigation may not yet have determined a motive, we believe the subject made significant efforts to conceal his activities,”Rojek said. The agency believes his actions illustrate “careful planning ahead of the campaign rally,” the FBI official added. He noted Crooks had a small social circle, which “appears to be limited to his immediate family,” and had “few friends and acquaintances throughout his life.”

The would-be assassin had used aliases to make purchases related to firearms and explosives, Rojek explained. Earlier this year, Crooks bought “six chemical precursor-related purchases online of materials used to create the explosive devices recovered in the subject’s vehicle and home,” he said.
The failed assassination has spurred widespread criticism and questions about what security measures were put in place before the event.
Last week, FBI Director Christopher Wray said the agency will leave “no stone unturned” as it looks into what happened. A day earlier, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned admitting her agency had failed to properly guard the Republican frontrunner.
