“They were weaponizing government against me. They brought in the whole DOJ to try and get me. They weren’t too interested in my health and safety,” says former president.

Former President Donald Trump appeared to suggest the Biden administration was partially responsible for the assassination attempt against him on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.

In a wide-ranging interview with Dr. Phil on Tuesday, Trump explained that the Biden administration “always made it very tough” for him to have a properly staffed Secret Service detail.

“I don’t know whose fault it is, but I will tell you I have these massive rallies with 50-60,000 people or more. And our people are always fighting to get more security, more Secret Service,” Trump said. “And he knew that we didn’t have enough.”

Is it just me or does it feel like Trump is hinting that he knows the Biden Admin was responsible for the assassination attempt? He lays out some of the supporting evidence:

“And he’d have a rally of 3 or 4 people. I mean, nobody would go. If he had a rally, if he had 20 people, it was a lot. Nobody would go…and yet he had a massive contingent of Secret Service. And I know that they wanted to have his people come over to these big rallies that I was having. And I know that it was a very tough situation.”

Trump went on to finger Joe Biden and his vice president Kamala Harris as being partially responsible for the attempt on his life last month.

“When this happened, people would ask, ‘Whose fault is it?’ I think to a certain extent it’s Biden’s fault and Harris’s fault. And I’m the opponent,” Trump said.

“Look, they were weaponizing government against me,” he continued. “They brought in the whole DOJ to try and get me. They weren’t too interested in my health and safety. I would be if I were in their position, but they weren’t very interested.”

“I could feel it. They were making it very difficult to have proper staffing in terms of Secret Service,” he added.

Dr. Phil followed up by asking, “I’m not saying they wanted you to get shot, but do you think it was okay with them if you did?”

Trump replied, “I don’t know. There’s a lot of hatred. I don’t know why. I had a great presidency. We had the best economy we ever had. We had job numbers that were unbelievable.”

The former president may have answered his own question as to why the Biden regime would want him dead.

Meanwhile, the House Republicans’ investigation into the assassination attempt against Trump has been slow going, what with the sudden cremation of shooter Thomas Crooks’s body and the Secret Service rejecting multiple FOIA requests for key documents related to the incident.

Moscow’s foreign ministry has warned that any talk of using long-range missiles to strike Russian territory is “very dangerous”. During a press conference on Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the West was “asking […]

“It’s probably unconstitutional,” says co-host Joe Kernen.

Kamala Harris’s economic adviser Bharat Rama was pilloried by CNBC’s “Squawk Box” hosts over her campaign’s proposal to tax unrealized capital gains.

“Taxing unrealized gains just doesn’t seem fair in any sense of the word,” co-host Rebecca Quick told Rama on Wednesday. “In the very best sense, if you were taxing unrealized gains, all you’re doing is pulling forward the taxes that would be paid later when someone actually sells the stock.”

CNBC: “Taxing UNREALIZED gains just doesn’t seem fair in any sense…”

Harris economic advisor Bharat Ramamurti: “This reaction to unrealized gains is a little funny.”

Rama responded that the pushback against the proposal is “a little funny,” claiming people are already paying a tax on unrealized gains through property taxes.

His explanation was immediately torn apart by Quick and co-host Joe Kernen, who noted that property tax is a use tax, which is essentially a conditional sales tax.

“It’s a use tax. It pays for schools,” Quick said as Rama attempted to talk over her. “Your value of your home never moves the way a stock moves, the way something else moves. Property tax is a use tax, you’re paying for the schools, you’re paying for emergency services, those are things that make absolute sense.”

Kernen piled on, saying, “It’s tiring. It’s not the same. That’s always the go-to answer.”

Rama insisted that “all the revenue” from taxes on unrealized capital gains are going to go to “more opportunity.”

“It’s to make sure that every newborn in this country get $6,000–” he said before Quick cut in.

“But it’s not a use tax for people actually using those services,” Quick said.

Rama replied, “You’re arguing that this is some foreign concept that’s completely unknown–“

Kernen broke in, “It’s probably unconstitutional.”

Quick added, “It’s not income. It’s not an income tax.”

Kernen concluded, “It’s never gonna happen…probably.”

The Harris campaign’s proposal for a 25% minimum tax on unrealized capital gains is part of a $5 trillion tax plan unveiled this week that also includes a “wealth tax” on households with over $100 million and a 44.6% tax on capital gains and qualified dividends first put forward by the Biden administration in April for its 2025 budget proposal.

???LIQUOR STORE EMPLOYEE PULLS GUN ON MOB IN OAKLAND

Dozens of teenagers riding bicycles near Golden Hours Liquor started arguing with a store employee before one young man sucker-punched the worker in the face.

After taking the weak blow, the employee stepped back and was suddenly hit with a barrage of punches and kicks from several of the young men.

While he was being attacked, the liquor store worker was able to pull out his handgun and point it at the violent group.

The firearm successfully scared away the attackers and potentially even prevented things from getting further out of hand.

The guy holstered his weapon and argued with some of the remaining teens as he went back to his post outside the store.

Oakland police investigated the incident and did not make any arrests despite the fact the employee was clearly assaulted on camera.

Internet users joked the guy who pulled the gun will probably get prosecuted by Oakland’s far-left DA.

He will be the only person in Oakland prosecuted for pulling a gun in the last 7 years. https://t.co/fK5yUSuHuE
