Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee Dead After Battle With Cancer
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), a congresswoman of over 30 years, passed away at 74 on Friday, according to her family.
Jackson Lee’s death comes a month after she announced that she had pancreatic cancer. She had also been treated years earlier for breast cancer.
“Today, with incredible grief for our loss yet deep gratitude for the life she shared with us, we announce the passing of United States Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of the 18th Congressional District of Texas,” her family said in a statement.

“A local, national, and international humanitarian, she was acknowledged worldwide for her courageous fights for racial justice, criminal justice, and human rights, with a special emphasis on women and children,” the statement said.
Her family went on to describe her as “a local, national, and international humanitarian, she was acknowledged worldwide for her courageous fights for racial justice, criminal justice and human rights, with a special emphasis on women and children.”
“Her legislative victories impacted millions, from establishing the Juneteenth Federal Holiday to reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act.”
She won in the Democratic primary for much of Houston’s inner city district in March after losing in her effort to become Houston’s mayor in December.
Jackson Lee was also a big supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement, gun control, and expanding the Supreme Court.
Joe Biden released a statement Saturday praising Jackson Lee as a “great American.”
“I had the honor or working with her during her nearly 30 years in Congress,” Biden wrote. “No matter the issue – from delivering racial justice to building an economy for working people – she was unrelenting in her leadership.”
“Always fearless, she spoke truth to power and represented the power of the people of her district in Houston with dignity and grace,” he added
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries also said in a statement, “Sheila Jackson Lee was an accomplished legislator, passionate public servant, loving mentor and wonderful friend to so many of us in the Congressional Black Caucus and House Democratic Caucus family. I am grateful for her fearless advocacy, fierce determination, formidable service and legacy of leadership.”
Other Democrat and Republican lawmakers also expressed their sympathies on X, including Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

Evidence of Multiple Shooters at Trump Assassination Attempt
Historically, government assassinations are often carried out with a patsy to take the fall and a professional, or team of professionals, to execute the target. This ensures success and gives the appearance that there was no conspiracy. It all gets blamed on a mentally disturbed lone gunman.
But the alleged would-be Trump assassin was willing to go on a suicide mission. It was an easy shot and he had at least five years of marksmanship training. The independent work of Azget Industries shows how our young suicide assassin could have been the lone gunman. But she is restricted to using the limited information we have gotten.
According to the sound analysis of Mike Adams, there were at least three shooters.
“I think round one is probably Crooks. Round two is Crooks. Round three is Crooks. I think these three rounds are Crooks. It’s my guess. Rounds four and five are from the same distance as Crooks but they are not Crooks. I think rounds four and five, right here, I think rounds four and five are from a rogue Secret Service team in the building that Crooks was on top of. So that’s my guess. Round six is from medium range sniper, round seven is long range sniper.” ~ Mike Adams
Several witnesses that day claimed that there was a second shooter in the water tower. FOX News live-streamed the following testimony, but omitted it from final edits.
“that’s where the other shooter was. There was one I heard in the water tower, there was one by the fence.” ~ witness
NBC live-streamed the following testimony of a woman who was in the front row
“He could see the sharpshooter behind Trump. He said the sharpshooter shot to the left. He killed the gentleman in the water tower here.” ~ witness
And omitted the following from the final edit.
“Now they feel that there was two shooters on both sides, so they got the one on the tower on this side, but the one on the right side, they never got. So that’s why they wanted us to leave immediately because they thought there’s still a shooter out there somewhere. I’m glad that guy’s no longer with us any more in that tower. And I hope they get the other one, too.” ~ witness
Images of the water tower show a shadow at the very top. Frame by frame analysis shows what could be described as muzzle flash or the reflection of a scope lens.
Before any shots were fired, police were seen running towards the water tower.
Multiple shooters makes more sense. But then, how did they miss? Many are insisting that it was a staged event to inflame Trump’s popularity.
“We still don’t know for sure whether Donald Trump was hit by a bullet, whether he was hit by glass fragments, whether he was hit by shrapnel. We don’t have those details. We actually have no details from his physician, even though this man is still a secret service protected, you know, and, presidential candidate, We know almost nothing. Why? Why don’t we know that much? We don’t know why for nine full seconds, Donald Trump was allowed to stand back up during an active shooting, an active shooter situation. Even though they at that point had said the shooter, the shooter was down, how would have they known? How would they have known if there were more shooters or not? Nobody knew that. There could have been five shooters for all they knew. Yet they allowed him to stand up in the middle of that, you know, crisis and pose for a photo, and fist pump the air so he could get the iconic photo. And then they allowed him to stand up again outside of the SUV instead of just shoving him into the SUV. That seems really unusual. What is the actual injury to Donald Trump’s ear that’s under that bandage? Shouldn’t we know that by now?” ~ Joy Reid
If it was fake, it was a flawless performance. And if it was authentic, it was not only sloppy, it was a millimeter away from Chaos. Either way, Trump is now seen by many religious people as being ordained by god, and others as being the Anti-Christ. Who believers have been expecting to survive an assassination attempt.
Illegal Alien TikToker Who Urged Migrants To Invade US Homes Reportedly Worked For Venezuela’s Military Intel
Millions of Americans were disgusted when they learned earlier this year that an illegal alien used TikTok to inform other migrants how to “invade” unoccupied homes across America and take advantage of progressive squatter laws.
We noted at the time, “The Marxist destruction of private property rights is on full display after a viral video circulating TikTok, then posted on X, shows a migrant informing other migrants how to “invade” unoccupied …”
Remember this idiot?
Remember the ILLEGAL who encouraged squatting in US homes? Turns out, he’s a (former) sergeant in Venezuela’s military intelligence unit named Leonel Moreno. pic.twitter.com/UCa5RBUneG

The good news is that in March, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested the illegal alien who goes by the name “Leonel Moreno.”
And now, time for the bad news: Since Moreno’s arrest, US intel officers have found the illegal alien was a sergeant in Venezuela’s military intelligence unit before he invaded the US southern border, the New York Post reports, citing a Homeland Security source.
It’s believed Moreno illegally entered the US through Eagle Pass, Texas, on April 23, 2022, and was released into the country with no proper vetting. He intentionally skipped check-ins with ICE.
Here’s more from NYPost:
Information from foreign countries is often hard to come by for border agents trying to protect the country from potential threats.
When it comes to Venezuela, the task is nearly impossible because the government there is unwilling to communicate with US authorities, several Border Patrol sources have told The Post.
The issue with Moreno is that many others like him are still running amok across this nation, unvetted and lost by the incompetent federal government overseen by the Biden administration. This risk has been repeatedly highlighted by former President Trump, Elon Musk, and many others who have warned Biden’s disastrous open southern border policies are flooding the nation with military-aged men.
Meanwhile, we were the first to report in early March about the Iranian assassin roaming the US and possibly plotting assassination attacks against former and current government officials. This is still a very real and active threat.
Activists Foil ICE Raid in New Jersey College Town
Local residents and activists interfered in an operation carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Princeton this month, authorities say.
The episode unfolded during the early hours of July 10 in the affluent college town located in New Jersey, which is a de facto ‘sanctuary’ for illegal aliens.
While conflicting information about the raid has been circulating, ICE confirmed a twice-deported illegal alien with an outstanding warrant was arrested while the apprehension of another criminal illegal was foiled by members of the public.
ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) agents from the Newark office arrived in Princeton looking for two illegal aliens.
They quickly located one, a 29-year-old Guatemalan who has been removed from the U.S. twice and is facing a slew of criminal charges.
The Guatemalan was arrested earlier this year in Princeton on charges of robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault.
He skipped a hearing at Princeton Municipal Court and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
He was taken into custody by ICE without incident.
Agents then stopped a man matching the description of the second suspect but discovered it was not him and quickly told him he was free to go.
“Shortly thereafter, ERO Newark officers positively identified the second subject. They began a foot pursuit but were blocked by people whose stated goal was to stop the arrest. The subject was able to abscond because of the interference,” ICE explained in a press release.
ICE says they are still seeking the second suspect, a 27-year-old Guatemalan male who is in the U.S. illegally and was arrested for assault by automobile and convicted of DUI in Lawrence Township, NJ, in 2023.
“The unfortunate and unacceptable interference from outside actors not only created a dangerous situation for the public and our officers, but also impeded ERO Newark from the performance of our duties,” said ERO Newark Field Office Director John Tsoukaris in a statement.
“Our officers are to be commended for maintaining their professionalism throughout this ordeal as well as for arresting a violent noncitizen offender.”
“The unfortunate and unacceptable interference from outside actors not only created a dangerous situation for the public and our officers, but also impeded ERO Newark from the performance of our duties,” said ERO Newark FOD John Tsoukaris. https://t.co/Sy5eZipD9D

Officials and activists blasted ICE for attempting to enforce immigration law and remove foreign criminals from the streets of New Jersey.
“I am horrified to learn of the ICE raids carried out in Princeton today, by agents who did not identify themselves, drove into communities, and stopped Hispanic/Latinx residents seemingly at random to interrogate them and demand documentation,” Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) said in a statement.
In light of last week’s ICE activities, Princeton Human Services has been working closely with our immigrant community to inform them of their rights and to provide access to vital immigration resources. For more information: https://t.co/n1oR6dMAYH pic.twitter.com/Yz7Zf33JxH
— The Municipality of Princeton (@PrincetonNJ_Gov) July 16, 2024
Princeton Mayor Mark Freda said he was “deeply troubled” about enforcement actions that “starkly contradict our core values of respect and dignity for all.”
Incredibly, it seems no one who obstructed ICE was arrested.
Revival Pastor: Trump Must Lift Up Jesus Christ to Save the United States
Hate To Say I Told You So
Show me the man who says he doesn’t like to be proven right, and I’ll show you a liar. But please believe me when I say, it brought me no great pleasure to have my predictions come true last Saturday, 13 July, when Thomas Matthew Crooks came within millimetres of killing former president Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Back in December, I said that Trump would be subject to an assassination attempt of some kind before the election. I wrote about why I thought that, in an essay for Human Events. I initially called that essay “the Brutus Option,” on account of persistent attempts to portray the former president as America’s Caesar, the man who would finally bring about the end of America’s 250-year experiment in republican self-governance, just as Julius Caesar brought about the end of the Roman Republic.
As I said in that piece, every good schoolboy knows—or, at least, every good schoolboy used to know—what happened to Julius Caesar. “Et tu, Brute”—and all that. The knives hidden in the togas. The blood on the marble floor of the Senate. The crucial difference with America’s Caesar is that we’re looking forward, not back. We know what happens next, which means we have a chance to stop it before it happens—and that’s where the Brutus Option, a pre-emptive intervention on behalf of the republic, comes in.
The Roman Republic fell, but the American republic can still be saved.
It was all wink wink and nudge nudge, with plenty of subtle but mostly not-so-subtle messaging. Nobody, at least nobody in the mainstream, was directly saying “Trump needs to be killed,” but it was pretty clear to me, even in December, that that was the inescapable conclusion of all the words and images.
Nothing else has worked to stop Donald Trump.
Nothing else will work.
I’m not claiming special powers of prediction. I certainly didn’t predict the time, place or manner of Trump’s attempted assassination, or that it would involve a character like Thomas Matthew Crooks; although he looks to me like the perfect kind of MKUltra victim—a frazzled porn-addict high-school loser on SSRIs—you’d choose to assassinate the president of the United States in as deniable a manner as possible.
I simply put 2+2 together on the basis of what the media had been telling me, and the whole world, since Trump first walked down that escalator back in 2016.
The immediate cause of my prediction was an op-ed in the Washington Post by Robert Kagan entitled “A Trump Dictatorship is Increasingly Inevitable.” Robert Kagan, for those who don’t know, is the husband of the despicable Victoria Nuland, a woman twisted by her evil deeds as part of the Deep State into a hag worthy of the blasted heath of Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
As far as I was concerned, Kagan’s piece was a missive direct from the poison pen of the Deep State, and its message was clear. The graphic used to headline the piece was a photomontage of Trump’s head on a statue of Caesar, and Kagan referenced Trump twice in the piece in Caesarian terms: “indicting Trump for trying to overthrow the government will prove akin to indicting Caesar for crossing the Rubicon, and just as effective”, he said, adding that Trump, like Caesar, “wields a clout that transcends the laws and institutions of government.”
The Kagan piece appeared at a time when the mainstream media were widely speculating that at least one of the candidates might die. They didn’t mean Joe Biden, either, whose severe cognitive and physical decline was already on show for the whole world to see and the mainstream media to debunk with endless exercises in fact-checking. No, they meant Trump. It was like a re-run of 2020, when Trump got COVID and Vice allowed its wish-fulfilment fantasies to run wild with a piece breathlessly explaining how America could have a Nancy Pelosi presidency if Trump died and then Mike Pence died as well…
“Here’s what happens if Donald Trump dies while running in the 2024 presidential election”—MSN.
“What happens for GOP candidates if Trump dies during the 2024 election?”—Business Insider.
“What happens if a presidential candidate cannot take office due to death or incapacitation before 2025?”—the Brookings Institute.
The health of candidates has never figured in an election like this before. Sure, there were questions about Ronald Reagan’s age and competence in 1984, when he ran for re-election against Walter Mondale, but they were deftly swept aside with an immortal quip from Reagan: “I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.” At no point did the mainstream media ever suggest that Reagan would drop out—or, worse, that he would give up the ghost before election day.
The truth is, the deep state and its pet media had been preparing us for the events of 13 July, 2024 for eight years. Talk of a Trump dictatorship began before he even took office, and has continued ever since. Of course, Cheeto Hitler has proven thus far to be anything but Hitlerian or Caesarian in his behaviour—the transgender concentration camps never materialised, Hillary Clinton has remained a free woman, and Trump told his supporters not to breach the Capitol or be violent on January 6th—but instead of changing their minds, Trump’s actions in and out of office have only hardened his opponents’ convictions that he harbors some secret plan to found a Thousand-Year Orange Reich if he returns to power.
The deep state and America’s uniparty establishment, even if they weren’t directly involved in the assassination attempt, are still responsible for what happened in Butler. And the same goes for the mainstream media. We must never forget this. All of these groups created the hysterical conditions under which Trump Derangement Syndrome could flourish and bear the evil fruit it bore last Saturday. Even now, common-garden libtards, celebrities and political movers and shakers across America are prepared to deny that a real assassination attempt took place. Trump, master of subterfuge, great subverter that he is, planned and executed a “classic Russian tactic,” a false flag, all for the sake of a photo opportunity—“Fight! Fight! Fight!”
We knew these people had lost their minds years ago, but until last Saturday we didn’t fully appreciate how dangerous that might be. Now we know.
The questions that matter from this point on are not questions of means or motive. We know why Trump’s opponents want him dead. They—and Thomas Matthew Crooks did not work alone—struck at a moment when Trump was uniquely vulnerable, without an heir. The entire populist movement would have been decapitated with Trump. Now Trump, wisely, has an heir in JD Vance and he also has “insurance.” I intend no disrespect to JD Vance by saying this, but it’s true. If Trump had chosen an establishment candidate—Marco Rubio, or perish the thought Nikki Haley—the decapitation tactic would have remained on the table as the obvious solution to all the regime’s problems.
It still remains on the table, and frankly we must assume, with 12 weeks still remaining until the election, that this is not the end of the craziness, but just the start.
The questions Trump and his supporters need to focus on now are all eminently practical ones, not least of all: How do we keep Trump alive until November? After that, it’s: How do we keep Trump alive until his inauguration?
I pray to God they come up with the right answers.
