Adversaries turned allies tell RNC Trump is right for job, Biden right for “Weekend at Bernie’s”

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Actions speak louder than words and on the second evening of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisc., a few of former President Donald J. Trump's rivals acted through their words. Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy, who offered Mr. Trump the greatest challenge in the primary season, joined with his toughest competition from the 2016 primary, Sen. Ted Cruz, as an expression of the party coalescing around Trump. "Never before has an election mattered so much," Cruz said. Mr. Trump is the Republican Party's nominee for President. On Monday, he announced Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate on the Republican ticket. Ron DeSantis, the governor of Trump's home state of Florida, set a tone. "Joe Biden has fa...

Secret Service director says ‘sloped roof’ to blame for would-be assassin deterring agency from securing location

By Emily Hallas | Washington Examiner Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said Monday that the shape of the roof former President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin sat on played a role in her agency not securing the building.  Cheatle has come under fire for her agency’s failure to prevent Thomas Matthew Crooks’s assassination attempt against Trump during a Pennsylvania rally last Saturday. During the event, Crooks gained access to a building approximately 400 feet from Trump’s podium. Counter-snipers were in the building and encountered the gunman, expressing concern about Crooks’s possible security risks shortly before the shooting. Witnesses who saw Crooks on the building’s rooftop, visibility armed with a rifle, warned police and Secret Service agents minute...

Elon Musk to chip in $45M a month to pro-Trump Super PAC, donates $100k to victims, families in weekend shooting

By Landon Mion | Fox Business Billionaire Elon Musk, coming off his endorsement of Trump after the Republican candidate survived an assassination attempt on Saturday, plans to donate about $45 million per month to a super PAC backing the former president, according to a report.

Two days after surviving assassination attempt, Trump gets hero’s welcome at RNC

By MIA MCCARTHY | Politico The party didn’t embrace him in 2016. Covid-19 kept everything virtual in 2020. But on Monday night, two days after an assassination attempt that almost claimed his life, Donald Trump received an adoring hero’s welcome on night one of the Republican National Convention. It was a drumbeat of wins for Trump, who saw the dismissal of his classified documents case, announced his long-awaited vice presidential pick and was formally announced as his party’s presidential nominee all before the evening programming.  But a surprise appearance from the former president — with a bandage covering his bullet-grazed ear — stole the show on Monday night. The president appeared emotional, sitting next to his newly picked running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) and...

The announcement was made almost simultaneously with former President Trump’s announcement of his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio). The GOP confirmed its nomination of the former president as the state of Florida added its delegates to the official count. The roll call of states’ delegates began just before 2 p.m. CT.

Ohio Sen J.D. Vance will join Trump on Republican ticket as VP

By Paul Steinhauser , Brandon Gillespie | Fox News With an eye toward the future of a Republican Party dominated by former President Trump and his legions of MAGA supporters, Trump has named 39-year-old Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate on the GOP'S 2024 national ticket. The former president, who made his greatly anticipated and high-stakes announcement on Monday as the Republican National Convention kicked off in swing-state Wisconsin's largest city, will now share the ticket with one of his top supporters in the Senate and a one-time Trump critic who has transformed into a leading America First disciple. Vance, a former venture capitalist and the author of the bestselling memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy," before running for elective office, was one of a handful o...

Secret Service rejects accusations that security was diverted from Trump to Jill Biden’s rally

By Washington Examiner Much has been said of the Secret Service detail after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. Many are seeking answers as to how the shooter could position himself on a roof so close to a former president and current presumptive Republican presidential nominee. One theory suggested that some Secret Service members were relocated from Trump’s rally in Butler to a Sunday campaign event for first lady Jill Biden in Pittsburgh. The Secret Service rejected this claim. On Sunday, a social media post from a White House correspondent from RealClearPolitics advanced the idea of personnel being diverted to the first lady’s campaign event.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Day One: What to expect as Republicans descend on Milwaukee

By Haisten Willis | Washington Examiner Former President Donald Trump‘s nomination becomes official this week as tens of thousands of Republicans gather in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with festivities beginning just two days after Trump miraculously survived an assassination attempt that left his right ear slashed and a supporter dead from gunshot wounds. The 2024 Republican National Convention lasts from Monday through Thursday, with each day focusing on a particular theme. Monday’s theme is “Make America Wealthy Once Again,” as the economy has been one of Trump’s most significant messaging points this year. “On day one, we will throw out Bidenomics and replace it with a thing called MAGAnomics.,” Trump said at a recent rally in Miami. “We will quickly build the greatest econ...

Federal judge dismisses Trump documents case, says Jack Smith unlawfully appointed

By Catherine Yang | The Epoch Times U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case on July 15, finding that special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment violated the Appointments Clause. “The Superseding Indictment is DISMISSED because Special Counsel Smith’s appointment violates the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution,” the order reads. The 93-page opinion and order was issued after days of oral arguments over the special counsel’s appointment and the statutory authority the Justice Department argued Attorney General Merrick Garland used to appoint Mr. Smith.

Trump: ‘I’m not supposed to be here’

By Byron York | Washington Examiner Former President Donald Trump can’t stop thinking about the way he moved his head in the split second before a gunman, intent on assassinating him, pulled the trigger during his speech in Pennsylvania Saturday evening. Trump was standing at the podium and began to refer to a large screen, hanging to his right, that showed statistics about immigration. To better see the screen, Trump turned his head to the right and a little up, and at the millisecond in which his head was at just the right angle for the bullet to graze his ear but not enter his skull — at that moment, the bullet whizzed by. Trump suffered a bloody wound to his ear, but no other injuries. It seemed like a miracle. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
