“The Egyptians believe that you die twice. Once when you take your final breath, and the last time someone says your name. I choose to believe that even if the names of those dear to our hearts are never spoken again, by continuing their legacies, they will always be remembered. On May 22nd, 2016, I lost the most important and influential person in my life, my dad. I was fortunate enough to have worked with him in a family-owned business for several rewarding and memorable years of my life. It was during this time that we became extremely close. We were bonded over the birth of both my daughters, buying my first home, and the grief of losing my grandparent (his father). In running a business together, we also met a variety of people along the way from many walks of life, which allowed me to witness his interactions with others in amazement. There was never a time that he didn’t treat everyone the very same way he himself would like to be treated, no matter who they were. It is the single most important thing my dad ever taught me. A little while ago, his legacy came to fruition as I was standing in line at a grocery store. There was a man in front of me with a cart full of items and a woman behind me with just one. She asked the man in front of me, ‘Can I please jump in front of you, as I’m on my lunch and only have half an hour?’ He said, ‘Can’t you just go through self checkout? There’s nobody in line at it.’ She replied, ‘No, I forgot my wallet and only have cash, which they don’t accept there.’ Still, he refused. I then said (in part hoping he would relent, which he didn’t), ‘You can go in front of me.’ She said, ‘Oh thank you! I don’t know what’s gotten into me. I never forget my wallet, but I’m just not the same since losing my husband. He was only fifty-nine!’ I said, ‘Oh my, I am so sorry and bet you miss him terribly. When did it happen?’ She replied, ‘Just last month and I don’t think I’ll ever get over it. Thankfully, I moved in with my daughter who doesn’t want to be alone either, and I don’t know what I’d do without her.’ I then said, ‘It will certainly take time and also be a year of firsts, but it sounds like you and your daughter are fortunate to have each other.’ And with that, she paid for her item and was gone.

Eleven days after President Joe Biden announced he was withdrawing American troops from Afghanistan in what turned out to be a disastrous and humiliating move for the United States, Vice President Kamala Harris smugly acknowledged she was “the last person in the room” when Biden made his decision. On April 14, 2021, Biden announced, “The United States will begin our final withdrawal — begin it on May 1 of this year.” Then he added, “We will not conduct a hasty rush to the exit. We’ll do it — we’ll do it responsibly, deliberately, and safely. … And the Taliban should know that if they attack us as we draw down, we will defend ourselves and our partners with all the tools at our disposal.” Retired Gen. Austin Miller, the former top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan, had warned the Biden administration that Afghanistan would get “very bad, very fast” when American troops began to leave. The chaotic withdrawal contributed to the deaths of 13 U.S. service members in a terror attack outside of Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport. Miller told committee investigators that he was bothered by the White House’s “lack of understanding of the risk” that he attempted to impart, according to The Washington Post. On April 25, 2021, Harris was interviewed by CNN’s Dana Bash, who began, “President Biden always said that he wants you to be the last person in the room — ” “Yes,” Harris interjected. “ — particularly for big decisions, just as he was for President Obama,” Bash finished. “Yes,” Harris agreed. “He just made a really big decision, Afghanistan,” Bash pointed out. “Yes,” Harris replied. “Were you the last person in the room?” Bash asked. “Yes,” Harris answered. “And you feel comfortable?” Bash pressed. “I do,” Harris said. “And I’m going to add to that. This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage.” THROWBACK: Kamala says she was the last person in the room and was a major part in the decision to pull out of Afghanistan which led to the disastrous withdrawal where 13 servicemembers were kiIIed. This is on Kamala. pic.twitter.com/2894fFmHNo — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) July 26, 2024   On July 8, 2021, Biden followed up by stating, “When I announced our drawdown in April, I said we would be out by September, and we’re on track to meet that target. Our military mission in Afghanistan will conclude on August 31. The drawdown is proceeding in a secure and orderly way, prioritizing the safety of our troops as they depart.” Tim Pearce contributed to this article.

A New York Times analysis of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump published on Friday disputed recent speculation that Trump was only hit by shrapnel and not by one of the shooter’s bullets. Some on the Left have called on Trump to prove that his would-be assassin’s bullet struck his right ear after FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress on Wednesday that “there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel.” The Times analyzed “bullet trajectories, footage, photos and audio,” which the newspaper said “indicates a bullet, not debris, wounded the former president.” The footage was also reviewed by Montana State University audio forensics expert Rob Maher. “A key piece of evidence in The Times’s analysis is a live video feed that captures Mr. Trump’s reaction as the first three gunshots are fired,” the newspaper reported. “The crack of the bullets are heard as they pass the microphone that Mr. Trump speaks into. Almost a second elapses between the first and second shots.” New York Times does detailed analysis of bullet trajectories, video, photos, and audio of shooting at Trump rally. They conclude Trump was most likely grazed by the first of eight bullets fired by the gunman, and not shrapnel or something else. pic.twitter.com/wTg87GXylc — Mike Sington (@MikeSington) July 26, 2024 Maher said that Trump is seen reaching for his ear between the sound of the first and second shots. The analysis indicated that the 20-year-old gunman fired eight shots in total, a volley of three shots followed by a volley of five. The first of the eight shots fired by the shooter appeared to hit the bleachers on Trump’s left after hitting his ear. Firefighter and father Corey Comperatore, who was killed in the shooting, appeared to have been struck in the shooter’s second round of shots. “What appears to have put Mr. Comperatore in the line of fire is that the gunman may have been adjusting his aim lower as Secret Service agents protectively took Mr. Trump to the ground,” the Times reported. Trump blasted FBI Director Wray after he suggested the former president could’ve been hit by “shrapnel.” “FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress yesterday that he wasn’t sure if I was hit by shrapnel, glass, or a bullet (the FBI never even checked!), but he was sure that Crooked Joe Biden was physically and cognitively ‘uneventful’ – Wrong!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “No, it was, unfortunately, a bullet that hit my ear, and hit it hard. There was no glass, there was no shrapnel,” he added. “The hospital called it a ‘bullet wound to the ear,’ and that is what it was. No wonder the once storied FBI has lost the confidence of America!” Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle was grilled by lawmakers on Capitol Hill on Monday about the apparent security in her agency’s protection of the former president that allowed the 20-year-old shooter to gain access to a roof just 130 yards away from the rally stage. Cheatle admitted the Secret Service “failed” to protect Trump at his rally on July 13. She resigned on Tuesday.

Former President Donald Trump welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sarah to his Mar-A-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday, just one day after the prime minister met with Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump told Netanyahu during the meeting, “We have incompetent people running our country,” according to Trump Deputy Communications Director Margo Martin. A video posted to Trump’s Truth Social account shows the Republican presidential candidate greeting the Netanyahus before they posed for photos. Netanyahu posted a photo on X just minutes later, showing the prime minister and former president posing between an American flag and an Israeli flag while Netanyahu held a hat that reads, “Total Victory.” שבת שלום ???? @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/37BhM5HgYS — Benjamin Netanyahu – בנימין נתניהו (@netanyahu) July 26, 2024 Trump has maintained his support for Israel as it continues its operation to root out Hamas, but he has urged the U.S. ally to finish the war in Gaza soon. In a Thursday interview with “Fox & Friends,” Trump said that he wants Netanyahu “to finish up and get it done quickly.” The Friday meeting was the first between the two leaders since Trump was in the White House. Netanyahu met with Vice President Harris on Thursday and addressed Congress on Wednesday as his nation continues its war against Hamas in Gaza. Harris, who is now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, has ramped up her criticism of Israel in recent months. In March, Harris called for an “immediate ceasefire for at least the next six weeks,” saying that Israel “must ensure humanitarian personnel, sites, and convoys are not targeted.” The Israeli delegation was reportedly disappointed with its meeting with the vice president, and some sources said that members of the delegation did not have a good impression of Harris. Following the meeting, Harris told reporters that she expressed her “concern about the scale of human suffering in Gaza, including the death of far too many innocent civilians.” During his address to Congress, Netanyahu praised Trump for facilitating the Abraham Accords peace deal between countries in the Middle East and for moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. Netanyahu also thanked President Joe Biden for “standing with” Israel “during our darkest hour.”
