CBS Accidentally Sides With Trump on Springfield, Sort Of...

Sit back, relax, and let’s Break It Down in episode 31...

Of course, the fact they occurred on this date is simply a coincidence.

Maybe these felines don't have the bad cattitude we thought.

Following a closed-door meeting Thursday with acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal (Conn.) provided a chilling indication that the truth about the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump will leave the American public "shocked, astonished, and appalled." Days after Trump was shot in Pennsylvania by an ActBlue donor who allegedly shared pro-Biden content online, U.S. Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Gary Peters (D-Mich.) announced that the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee was launching a bipartisan investigation into the security failures that led to bloodletting that occurred on July 13. In the months since, members of the committee have conducted transcribed interviews with officials linked to the Butler rally. Committee member Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) indicated this week, "There are more questions than answers at this point in our bipartisan Senate investigation of July 13th. We will continue to press the Secret Service and FBI for witnesses and documents." 'We are going to absolutely insist on the truth.' Johnson noted further that the committee will issue a preliminary report in the "very near future." Rowe gave members of both the House and Senate an update Thursday, which appears to have vexed some lawmakers. Johnson referenced "some frustration that was voiced, I think, with Acting Director Rowe," reported the New York Post. The briefing also appears to have left Blumenthal with the impression that the committee's forthcoming report will create serious waves. The Connecticut Democrat said that Americans will be shocked by what the report will say about "the failures of the Secret Service in this assassination attempt of a former president." "But I think they also ought to be appalled and astonished by the failure of the Department of Homeland Security to be more forthcoming, to be as candid and frank as it should be to them in terms of providing information," added Blumenthal. "We are going to absolutely insist on the truth and the whole truth in documents and testimony." When pressed about what he learned at the closed-door meeting, Blumenthal would not go into specifics. However, he reiterated that the report "will absolutely shock the American people — it should — about the lapses and lags in the protection of his supporters that day and the breakdown of communication." Blaze News investigative reporter Steve Baker, who has dug deep into what happened July 13 along with reporter Joe Hanneman, cast doubt on whether the committee report will be as explosive as Blumenthal has suggested. "Honestly, beyond the 'shock' of unprecedented incompetence by the USSS, I don't know what else they will have to show. Maybe the 'insinuation' of 'deliberate incompetence'?" said Baker. "Beyond that insinuation, I seriously doubt they will provide evidence of a conspiracy behind the assassination attempt." "Blaze News' own expert sources are convinced there are specific signs of professional 'grooming' behind the actions of Thomas Crooks, but Crooks' groomers are part of a very small group. Likely no more than three operatives. No more than five people 'in the know,'" continued Baker. "These are the kind of operatives who will never talk. They themselves will likely believe they were doing the business of 'God and Country' in saving us from the 'democracy-destroying authoritarianism' of a second Trump administration." As for reports out of Congress, Baker suggested that "we will only ever hear more statements and more questions about the gross 'failures' and 'incompetencies.' It will die there, short of some miraculous revelation or the emergence of an unlikely whistleblower from within our intelligence community." The report may prove toothless; however, more officials involved in the July 13 Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, may soon be out of work. The Post noted that when asked whether more people should resign, Blumenthal replied, "Unquestionably and indisputably, there needs to be more accountability. People need to be held responsible." "Without accountability, this kind of failure and lapse will happen again because there needs to be that sense that someone is the point person," added the Connecticut Democrat. Sen. Paul told reporters after the briefing, "I think the people in charge of security that day shouldn't be doing it again." Kimberly Cheatle resigned in disgrace as Secret Service director, despite initially signaling she intended to remain in the role, and a handful of agents were reportedly put on leave weeks later. USSS Assistant Director Michael Plati is also stepping down. A spokesman for Plati told Fox News this week, "Mike has been discussing this for more than a year. He's retiring on the date of his 27-year anniversary working for the Secret Service. He approached Acting Director [Ronald] Rowe about his retirement last month, before the DNC. He wasn't asked to retire or resign, and anyone saying otherwise is lying." The Secret Service similarly suggested Plati "was not asked to resign or retire by anyone." Like Blaze News?

A pro-Israel demonstrator allegedly shot a male who sprinted across a street and tackled him during what was otherwise called a peaceful pro-Israel rally Thursday evening in Newton, Massachusetts — yet police arrested and charged the pro-Israel demonstrator who was physically attacked.Cellphone video shows the male yelling at pro-Israel demonstrators from across the street, telling them, "You are sick! You're defending genocide!" A woman apparently with the pro-Israel demonstrators can be heard off camera yelling back, "You are so stupid!" After a cut in the clip, the angry bearded male — who appeared to have a COVID mask under his chin and was wearing a purple T-shirt, black shorts, and reportedly a Palestinian pin — sprints across the street, leaps at, and tackles a pro-Israel protester.Another witness, Dave Sherman, told WCVB that the male who sprinted across the street and tackled the anti-Israel protester 'was really tough to take down. He was really determined. He was really hateful.'Three seconds after their bodies hit the sidewalk, a pop is heard — presumably the gunshot.Two other men are seen on the clip standing above the attacker and pressing their feet on his face, after which the pro-Israel protester, while still sitting on the sidewalk, tells them to get off him and asks where his pistol is. A separate video appears to show that same pro-Israel demonstrator saying to "call 911," telling someone who's yelling at the attacker, "Stop! Go away!" — and then rendering aid to the wounded male.Investigators identified the pro-Israel demonstrator in question as 47-year-old Scott Hayes of Framingham, WBTS-TV reported. Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan said at a Thursday news conference that Hayes was arrested and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and violation of a constitutional right causing injury, WCVB-TV reported. Hayes is to be arraigned Friday at the Newton District Court, Ryan said. - YouTube youtu.be The unidentified male who was shot was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, WBTS reported.Ryan said authorities believe Hayes legally possessed the firearm, WCVB reported.Hayes reportedly is an Iraq War veteran who is not Jewish but often attends protests carrying American and Israeli flags.Shaul Brechman, a witness, told WBTS that "it's just one more proof of the problematic way of those [who harbor] anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli way[s] of action."Another witness, Dave Sherman, told WCVB that the male who sprinted across the street and tackled the anti-Israel protester "was really tough to take down. He was really determined. He was really hateful."Observers on X were incredulous. One user said, "Ironically this is a perfect metaphor for Israel vs Palestine" before adding a typical sequence of events: "Palestine attacks; Israel shoots in self defense; everyone blames Israel."Kassy Akiva of the Daily Wire called the Boston Globe "complete trash" for leading its story about the incident with the following sentence, "A small pro Israel rally along Washington Street Thursday evening turned violent when a passerby confronted the demonstrators and during a tussle with one of the men was shot, authorities said." Akiva added, "The truth: The man charged across a street through traffic and tackled a man to the ground. Then the attacker was shot."Another X user said, "Scott started carrying his flags after we met at Harvard. He’s always been peaceful and respectful. Self-defense is his right. I’m going to support him all the way with this."Others also were squarely behind Hayes:"Justified," one X user wrote. "Let’s make sure this hero has the proper representation when he’s charged by a leftist DA.""Self defense," another commenter declared. "Zero Sympathy for the man who attacked him.""Don’t attack people and maybe you don’t get shot," another user said.A GoFundMe for Hayes' legal defense has raised over $64,000 as of Friday morning.Newton police said they would ramp up patrols at houses of worship this weekend, WBTS said.Like Blaze News?
