Trump was shot in the head early last night. The assassin, Thomas Crooks, 20, would have killed him, except Donald Trump moved his head in that split second. The bullet cut through his ear. An innocent man was shot in the head, his brain matter on the platform, blood everywhere. Two other innocent rallygoers are […] The post Trump Shot in the Head: Media Says He Fell, Noises Startled Him appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

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.”

Former President Donald Trump released a statement on Sunday morning in the wake of an assassination attempt on his life stating that God saved his life and calling on Americans to “stand united” and fight against evil. “Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening,” Trump wrote. “We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness.” “Our love goes out to the other victims and their families,” the former president added. At least one Trump supporter has been confirmed dead and two others have been injured. “We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed.” “In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win,” Trump added. “I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin,” he added, referring to the upcoming Republican National Convention. Trump said Saturday night that he heard a bullet zip by his right ear, which was pierced by a bullet. After Secret Service rushed in to surround Trump, the former president brushed them off, threw his fist in the air, and repeatedly shouted, “fight!” His supporters broke out in a “U-S-A” chant. “I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania,” Trump said in a statement released Saturday night. “Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country.” “Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead,” Trump continued. “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening.” “GOD BLESS AMERICA!” he closed the post. Related: No Biden Statement One Hour After Trump Assassination Attempt

Employees at CBS News and CNN immediately attacked former President Donald Trump just moments after a man who donated to far-left from shooting former President Donald Trump at a political rally in Pennsylvania in what federal law enforcement officials have officially labeled an assassination attempt. The suspect — identified by the FBI as 20-year old Thomas Matthew Crooks — was shot and killed after he fired multiple rounds at Trump, one of which was literally an inch from being a potentially fatal hit. At least one Trump supporter in the crowd was killed and two more were seriously injured during the attack, the U.S. Secret Service said in a statement. As shots rang out, Trump grabbed his ear — a journalist captured a photograph of the bullet after it hit Trump and traveled past his head — and Secret Service shouted “Get down! Get down! Get down!” Trump dropped to the ground as he was tackled by Secret Service until Matthew was neutralized by law enforcement. Before they moved him off the stage, Trump yelled at the agents: “Wait! Wait! Wait!” Then looking at the thousands of supporters who showed up, he raised his fist and shouted: “Fight! Fight! Fight!” Immediately following Trump’s inspiring remarks to the crowd, CNN’s Jamie Gangel said: “I do want to say there was one thing that when I watched the tape, I found odd, because of all of the heated rhetoric.” “And that is that after he was hit, former President Trump got up and said, ‘Fight! Fight! Fight!’,” she complained. “I think what we’re hearing people is that’s not the message that we want to be sending right now. We want to tamp it down.” WATCH: CNN’s Jamie Gangel attacks Trump for saying “Fight! Fight! Fight!” after someone tried to murder him.

The amount will not be known until later this week. Musk also called for “the head of the Secret Service and the leader of this security detail” to resign immediately after they failed to stop the attack. “Extreme incompetence or it was deliberate,” he added. “Either way, the SS leadership must resign.” Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, who is friends with Musk, posted on X: “I am going to formally endorse @realDonaldTrump . I came to this decision some time ago as many @X followers have already understood from my supportive posts of Trump and my criticisms of @POTUS Biden.” He said that he would explain his decision in a lengthy post but he hasn’t had time to put together everything that he wants to write. “I believe the upcoming presidential election is one of the most consequential elections in my lifetime so I am taking the proper time to articulate observations that I will share widely and for which I assume an important responsibility,” he said, adding that people’s perceptions of him have been wildly skewed by a dishonest media.

Some might call this a “foster fail,” but we’re pretty sure both this family and their new dog feel like winners! If you’re not familiar with the term, DogTime has a great explanation. A foster fail is when someone ends up adopting the cat, dog, or other pet they agreed to foster. You might be wondering, “In what universe is this considered a fail?” In the end, it just means that a pet’s foster parent couldn’t bring themself to say good-bye! One family on social media shared the sweetest video about how they ended up keeping their foster dog, Bentley. However, the parents decided to play a prank on their kids before making the official announcement. Instead of admitting to their foster fail, Mom and Dad told their two daughters that their sweet dog had been adopted by a family. As soon as her parents broke the “news,” the younger of the two girls started sobbing. Clearly, it was time to reveal the truth! Unfortunately, it took a while for the little girl to calm down enough for her parents to explain. @jacquelynnann8 We adopted our first foster. We dont do anything simple because that wouldnt be memorable. My little was begging for a week to keep Bentley because he fit into our home so perfect. Were all over the moon to have him in hos forever home #adopted #fosterfail #dog #dogsoftiktok #drama #dogmom #dogfamily ♬ original sound – jacquelynnann8 Mom thought that it would be sweet to show her daughter the adoption paperwork, which of course had their family’s name on it. However, the child was far too upset to even look at the documents. Eventually, her older sister stepped in and read the text out loud. When the weeping little girl realized that Bentley wasn’t going anywhere, she started crying with joy instead! “We adopted our first foster,” Mom wrote in her caption on social media. “We don’t do anything simple because that wouldn’t be memorable. My little was begging for a week to keep Bentley because he fit into our home so perfect. We’re all over the moon to have him in his forever home.” Screengrab from TikTok Commenters loved seeing this family’s “foster fail” video revealing that they were going to adopt their dog. Many users could relate to the little girl’s reaction when she thought Bentley was leaving! “I’m 28 and she handled that way better than me,” wrote one user. “Congratulations!” Another added, “I don’t foster because I’d act like her as an adult.” Phew, what an emotional roller coaster! We’re so glad this family failed at fostering and decided to keep this sweet dog. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
