“I Took a Bullet for Democracy:” Trump Returns to the Stage in Grand Rapids
Donald Trump took to the stage in Grand Rapids, Michigan for the first time since he narrowly escaped an assassin’s bullets last Saturday.
In front of a packed arena—massive queues stretched around the block eight hours before Trump spoke—the former president wasted no time in blasting his opponents for claiming that he’s a “threat to democracy.”
“As you’re seeing, the Democrat Party is not the party of democracy. They’re really the enemies of democracy. The party of corrupt insiders like Whitmer, special interests, and the failed political class. That’s what they are. Under our leadership the Republican Party is now the party of the people. We’re the party of hardworking Americans of every race, religion, colour and creed. We’ve become a very big party.”
Trump distanced himself from Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation project that in recent weeks has been a major source of criticism from his opponents.
“The other side’s going around trying to make me sound extreme, like I’m an extremist. I’m not. I’m a person with great common sense. I’m not an extremist at all. Like some on the right, the severe right, came up with this Project ’25. I don’t even know. I mean, some of them I know who they are, but they’re very, very conservative. They’re sort of the opposite of the radical left.”
“I don’t know anything about it. I don’t want to know anything about it.”
“They keep saying, ‘He’s a threat to democracy,’” Trump added.
“I’m saying, ‘What the hell did I do for democracy? Last week I took a bullet for democracy!’”
Donald Trump – ‘They say I’m a threat to democracy. Last week I took a bullet for Democracy.”

Trump spoke about the assassination attempt.
“It was exactly one week ago today almost to the hour, even to the minute,” he said, as chants of “Fight! Fight! Fight!” rang out in the crowd.
“What a day it was. As I said earlier this week, I stand before you only by the grace of almighty God, that’s true. I shouldn’t be here. I shouldn’t be here.”
Trump also praised Corey Comperatore, the army veteran and firefighter who was killed during the assassination attempt, as he shielded his wife and daughter.
“Cory was a hero and we will carry his memory in our hearts for all time. Great Hero,” Trump said.

‘She’s Running’: Hillary Clinton Tells DNC Grandees It’s ‘Her Turn’ To Beat Trump
Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has re-entered the fray, elbowing herself into position to be crowned the Democrat presidential nominee following an open DNC convention next month. The Democrat party is in disarray as party […]
The post ‘She’s Running’: Hillary Clinton Tells DNC Grandees It’s ‘Her Turn’ To Beat Trump appeared first on The People’s Voice.
This Is A Test Of The Emergency Cyber Attack Network
Most people may not remember the recent history involving Crowdstrike, the Obama Administration, and the Russia Collusion Hoax.
CrowdStrike is operating on a massive level, integrated into the grid, transportation, and hospitals.
The Austin, Texas-based company CrowdStrike was at the heart of the Democrat’s Deep State deception.
Don’t let the media white wash the details.
With a company so deeply embedded in Democrat sabotage, the “global outage” that just occurred was likely no accidental update.
It was a test of the emergency cyber attack network.
Sen. Hawley Says FBI Blocked Him From Rally Site Where Trump Was Shot
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Ark.) revealed the FBI turned him away from the rally site where former President Donald was shot last week.
Hawley explained in a Friday exchange with Fox News host Sean Hannity that he tried to visit the fateful spot in Butler, Pennsylvania, where at least one shooter attempted to assassinate Trump, but was ordered by the Bureau to leave.
“Today, when I went to the site, the FBI has got more security on that site now than they did the night that Trump was shot at,” Hawley said.
As the Senate prepares for hearings, today I went to Butler County to see the site of the shooting myself – and FBI told me to leave. We need ANSWERS. I won’t stop pushing until we get them pic.twitter.com/rtswNlngGi

“And they’re trying to control the information. Sean, they tried to kick me off of the site. They said ‘Get outta here, you shouldn’t be on this site, we don’t want you here.’”
“They brought local cops Sean, get this — I’m there onsite, I had permission from the local security operator to be there and the FBI came out and said, ‘You have got to leave. We do not want you here,’” he added.
The Arkansas senator was simply probing the security lapses at the site that led to the shooter to be able to take several shots at the former president and how several eyewitnesses got the jump on the would-be assassin before the authorities did.

Hawley on Friday also sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas revealing he’d been hearing from whistleblowers within the DHS exposing the fact that most of Trump’s security detail that day were NOT, in fact, Secret Service personnel.

“Whistleblowers who have direct knowledge of the event have approached my office,” Hawley wrote.

According to the allegations, the July 13 rally was considered to be a ‘loose’ security event. For example, detection canines were not used to monitor entry and detect threats in the usual manner. Individuals without proper designations were able to gain access to backstage areas. Department personnel did not appropriately police the security buffer around the podium and were also no stationed at regular intervals around the event’s security perimeter.
Security was so lax that the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was even able to fly a drone into the security perimeter and smuggle in homemade explosive devices to the event showground, according to reports.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and the House Oversight and Homeland Security Committees in the aftermath of the failed attempt on Trump’s life announced that they would conduct an investigation into the shooting.
Secret Service Director later agreed to testify this Monday about her agency’s failure to protect Trump after she was threatened with subpoenas by Republican lawmakers.

Clinton had conspicuously been mum on social media over the attempted hit against Trump last Saturday, opting instead to make critical posts about his VP nominee and Project 25.
And right on cue, the mainstream media has suddenly begun to sing her praises right before the Democratic National Convention is set to kick off in a couple weeks.
But fortunately, the American people are wise to Clinton’s criminality, cold and ruthless personality, lust for power, and revulsion for American values.
