The vitriol and hate in this nation among Biden supporters has surged to the next level. This administration has done well in sowing those seeds. It has led to former President Donald J. Trump apparently being shot at Saturday's campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. It's also led to disgusting cries...

Shots rang out Saturday at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, for former president and presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump. Blood was seen on the side of his head. A shooter was "neutralized," according to CNN, which is a pleasant way of saying someone has been killed. There are reports of...

On any other day, at any other moment, perhaps an Israeli attack on a Hamas leader in Gaza that supposedly killed dozens of Palestinians might be the top story on CNN's homepage. That day and moment was not the evening of Saturday, July 13, 2024, shortly after the former president of...

The United States needs a president with the mental and emotional acuity to react in crisis in a way that will provide confidence and faith in the people he stewards. In the midst of an apparent assassination attempt, Trump rose to his feet, and the first thing that he did...

Law enforcement late Saturday night were ransacking the Bethel Park, Pennsylvania home of a 20-year old male named Thomas Matthew Crooks in connection to the shooting Donald Trump, neighbors told The Daily Wire. Multiple neighbors said on condition of anonymity that police had knocked on their doors to ask questions and in some cases advised the neighbors to leave their homes. The police activity corroborates the reporting of the New York Post, which identified Crooks as the suspected shooter. The FBI later confirmed Crooks’ identity early Sunday, after declining to do so during a press conference. The bureau also described it as an assassination attempt. Federal Election Commission records show that on January 20, 2021—Biden’s inauguration day—the 20-year old Crooks donated $15 through ActBlue, the progressive donation clearinghouse, to the Progressive Turnout Project, which says it “is dedicated to mobilizing the Democratic party and defending democracy.” In donor records, he listed his occupation as unemployed, and listed the address descended upon by police. Public records reviewed by The Daily Wire suggest that both of his parents are licensed counselors, and that the father owns a firm providing disability services.  Records suggest that his mother is a registered Democrat and his father is a registered Libertarian. The family purchased their home in 1998. The family could not be reached for comment. The shooter was killed by Secret Service after shooting Trump in the ear. The 20-year old lived with his parents there, and the family keeps to themselves, the neighbors said. They said the mother is handicapped and is often seen clinging to her husband to walk. They said she was sitting in the street Saturday night on a lawn chair brought out by police. The Secret Service did not show up to the press conference, where an FBI official acknowledged it was “surprising” that the shooter managed to plant himself on a rooftop and get off several shots before being stopped by the agency. FBI Special Agent in Charge Kevin Rojek said the Secret Service “needs to answer that question.”

We’ve all been there—facing a minor problem and coming up with a solution that’s a little over the top. It’s human nature to sometimes overthink things, especially when we have the tools and technology. This list is a celebration of those moments when inventors and engineers took simple problems and threw everything they had at […] The post 10 Hilariously Over-Engineered Solutions to Simple Problems appeared first on Listverse.

As much as we may think it is a problem of the modern age, serial killers are not just a 20th-century (or 21st-century) phenomenon. Sure, it’s true that it feels like about a thousand of them were running around California in the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s. And the truth is that there are a surprising […] The post 10 Terrifying Serial Killers from Centuries Ago appeared first on Listverse.

On Saturday following the attempted assassination of former President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, CBS was out of control in demanding Republicans be the ones to lower the proverbial temperature and alter their rhetoric to soothe our collective body politic. Of course, as our Alex Christy wrote about earlier, they even expressed concern about the well-being of…themselves. The worst moment came when Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan had the gall to lecture House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) about rhetoric even though Scalise himself was nearly assassinated in June 2017 by a far-left kook. Click the tweet to watch the video and click “expand” below to see the transcript: CBS's Margaret Brennan lectures Steve Scalise, who was nearly assassinated in 2017 by a leftist: "Have you specifically instructed members...to rein in some of the rhetoric...some are using online that is somewhat incendiary...really blaming this, somehow, on the administration?" pic.twitter.com/M3MQINzuuH — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) July 14, 2024 BRENNAN: Have you specifically instructed members in the coming hours, to rein in some of the rhetoric, that – that I will point out, some are using online, that is somewhat incendiary in terms of really blaming – blaming this, somehow, on the administration. Have you asked them to refrain from that? SCALISE: I’ve already been very vocal within moments of the shooting that – that political violence is not something anybody should tolerate. But also, I came out one further and said that we needed to dial down the rhetoric. And there’s been a lot of rhetoric the last few months. And, you know, I think some of that, you know, this idea and Bob Barr are even said it, Donald Trump is some threat to democracy, that kind of language, all it takes is one person to hear that and act on it and I don't know if that’s the case today, but those are the kind of things that should not be said. And, you know, all of us need to do better and dialed the language down. Let's focus on the issue. We have real serious issues that divide us and real serious problems in this country. Let’s the next four months be how to fix and solve those problems in America and – and not have the incendiary language that – that, unfortunately, we’re seeing right now. Brennan wasn’t done debasing herself as she twice tried to have Scalise denounce Republican Congressman Mike Collins (R-GA) for having tweeted “Joe Biden sent the orders” in reference to Biden rhetorically stating earlier in the week that Trump had to be “put…in a bullseye”. She wouldn’t mention that context, of course. Instead, she demanded Scalise answer whether there was “any information whatsoever to link…the U.S. government to what happened”. Obviously, Scalise said no and vaguely alluded to “comments form Joe Biden” earlier, but said any rampant speculation should “stop immediately”. The CBS host continued to pummel Scalise about rhetoric demanding he state “that no member should in any way insinuate anything without actually knowing fact first considering we’re in a “very dangerous moment.” Chief elections and campaign correspondent Robert Costa kvetched just after 8:30 p.m. Eastern that “many Trump supporters on social media tonight are extremely angry”, further enflaming “a political charged moment” that’s also “a crime investigation”: CBS's Robert Costa complains "Trump supporters on social media tonight are extremely angry" at the assassination attempt, lamenting "this is still a politically charged moment". Margaret Brennan demands Republicans "take the political temperature down" pic.twitter.com/LznPL6WtC6 — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) July 14, 2024 Not to play Captain Obvious, but how should they feel about a former President and someone millions admire and support nearly being murdered on live TV? Brennan backed up Costa’s allusion to it being incumbent that Republicans alter their rhetoric, not anyone else (click “expand”) And, to that point, Bob Costa, I was texting Robert O’Brien, the former national security advisor to Donald Trump, who sent out a statement saying, we’ve got to take the political temperature down, he and Mike Lee, the senator issued this jointly. We’ve got to take the political temperature down as evidenced by what happened in Pennsylvania today. So, two key Republican Trump supporters calling for the rhetoric, the political violence, the threats of it, to be lowered. That is in stark contrast to the head of the Trump campaign – one of the top Trump campaign officials, you were reading statements from earlier. We are also looking at social media posts from other Republicans who are quite angry – everyone should be angry this security failure happened -- but in a way that will raise further concern of someone misinterpreting things and perhaps carrying out further political violence. Law enforcement will want to lower the temperature. And words matter right now very much. An hour later, Brennan went to a dark place when she suggested Trump supporter could be scheming to commit violence: CBS's Margaret Brennan, out of control: "We want to make clear that this is something we are reporting...as a historic event...We are very mindful that this kind of event can inspire violence, it can inspire retaliation, and we want no part of that." #TrumpAssassinationAttempt pic.twitter.com/FOpk9Q3B9U — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) July 14, 2024 Brennan and Costa spoke by phone to the Republican congressman who represents the area where the shooting took place, Mike Kelly, and demanded his “fellow lawmakers” watch themselves “in terms of the rhetoric and word choice”: DISGUSTING: CBS's Margaret Brennan lashes out at GOP Rep. Mike Kelly after he said what happened was an assassination attempt against Trump, claiming he's trying to poison viewers into thinking the govt. tried to kill Trump. She argues "rhetoric and word choice" has to change. pic.twitter.com/QqVhoVdGVu — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) July 14, 2024 Just as he did when hit with this smear by NBC’s Lester Holt, Kelly calmly dispensed with this gotcha by invoking the Scalise shooting and observing too many Americans “have become too casual about life, too casual about what role the United States plays,” and “too casual about the basic belief system we have”. Fast-forward to the top of the 10:00 p.m. Eastern hour, Brennan bemoaned to correspondent Scott MacFarlane that “our fellow journalists, I know, have become target – in many ways – of hateful rhetoric at some of these rallies” with “one of the initial reactions by some of the people there, was to turn and yell at journalists like you” following the gunshots. MacFarlane tried to defuse it by chalking up the boos to being par for the course and arguing there’s still common humanity in Trump supporters as some checked on them after the shooting. Despite that, Brennan tossed that pivot aside to go back to there needing to be a “rhetoric” change from Trump and his supporters since we’re all “responsible for protecting our democracy”: CBS's Margaret Brennan defends her comments lecturing Trump and his supporters as the ones responsible for changing the "rhetoric" in our body politic, claiming it's incumbent on them to protect our fragile democracy pic.twitter.com/ka1iR8khZx — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) July 14, 2024 Costa didn’t disagree, as evidenced by reiterating his observation of “a lot of anger” among Trump supporters at what happened.
