The state's highest court decided on Wednesday that South Carolina could resume executions of death row convicts by lethal injection, firing squad, or electric chair. This decision allowed the state to resume executions after more than 10 years.

It’s been over two weeks since the attempted assassination, and all we know so far is no one is responsible. The Secret Service won’t even answer basic questions. They are covering up an attempted assassination of a former president. The Secret Service agents protecting Donald Trump on July 13 deserve better bosses. They risk their […] The post All We Found Out About July 13 Is No One’s Responsible appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Women’s USA Rugby scored a massive donation after the Team USA Women’s Rugby Sevens team scored an unbelievable historic win at the Paris Olympics against Australia. The owner of several women’s soccer teams, Michele Kang, donated $4 million over the course of four years to the USA Women’s Rugby Sevens through Kynisca Sports International (founded by Kang to invest in women’s sports and women’s soccer), ahead of the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. “2024 has been a banner year for women’s sports with record-breaking attendance and viewership, and women’s rugby is no exception,” Kang said. “I am so happy to support these outstanding athletes to realize their dream in capturing the gold in Los Angeles in 2028,” she added. Hours after the U.S. women claimed bronze for the country’s first Olympic medal in rugby sevens, the team received an unprecedented donation from business mogul Michele Kang.

During the 2024 Summer Olympics on Tuesday, USA had fallen to 7-12 behind Australia, when the Aussie’s Maddison Levi went for the conversion and missed, NBC News reported. Team USA’s Ariana Ramsey got the ball and threw it to teammate Alex Sedrick, who caught the ball and went on to fight off not one but three Team Australia defenders. It was then off to the races as Sedrick ran the entire length of the rugby pitch with no one even close to catching her.  In the final seconds, she dove over the line and slid down under the posts to score as her team went wild, bringing the score to 12-12. It was then up to Sedrick — who isn’t the normal kicker for the team — to make the final kick that went right through the uprights to give USA a 14-12 victory, the outlet noted. Members of Team USA then gathered on the field to hug and celebrate as the crowd went wild with their historic win.

The Biden-Harris administration has reached plea deals with three of the five alleged Al Qaeda terrorists who are being held at Guantanamo Bay for their roles in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S. Prosecutors have entered into pretrial agreements with 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi. The Department of Defense would not make public specific terms and conditions of the plea deals. “The three accused, along with Ali Abdul Aziz Ali and Ramzi Bin al Shibh, were initially charged jointly and arraigned on June 5, 2008, and then were again charged jointly and arraigned a second time on May 5, 2012, in connection with their alleged roles in the September 11, 2001, attacks against the United States,” the Pentagon said. The New York Post reported that the victims’ families were told by the Office of Military Commissions (OMC) in a letter that the plea deals would allow the three terrorists to be spared the death penalty. The letter said in-part: “In exchange for the removal of the death penalty as a possible punishment, these three accused have agreed to plead guilty to all of the charged offenses, including the murder of the 2,976 people listed in the charge sheet.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Nearly 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 attacks, the largest terrorist attack in history. “I feel like I was kicked,” said retired police officer Jim Smith, whose wife, Moira Smith, was the only female police officer who died on 9/11. “The prosecution and families have waited 23 years to have our day in court to put on the record what these animals did to our loved ones. They took that opportunity away from us. They committed the worst crime in the history of our country, they should receive the highest penalty.” This is a breaking news story; refresh the page for updates.

Kamala Harris is a liar. I understand we’re supposed to play this game where she can magically take an Etch-A-Sketch, shake it up, and become a moderate. But that’s bullcrap. Flashback to 2019. She wanted less funding for cops, saying, “It is outdated, it is wrongheaded thinking to think that the only way you’re going to get communities to be safe is to put more police officers on the street.” It was 2018 when she compared ICE to the KKK, saying, “Are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and the discretion at ICE is being used to enforce the laws and do you see any parallels?” She looks the same because she is the same.  The media is allowing her to run as a tough-on-crime prosecutor. In 2019, that tough-on-crime prosecutor raised her hand to agree when asked if illegal immigration should be treated as a noncrime. In 2019, she suggested that private health insurance needed to be banned, saying it might need to be eliminated in order to achieve single-payer health care. She co-sponsored Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All bill.  In 2019, she suggested that it was deeply important that Californians who are on death row and trans be able to get plastic surgery funded by taxpayers. If you were a man and you murdered or raped somebody, but you now felt like a lady and you wanted to have your genitalia removed, Harris wanted everybody else to pay for it.  Don’t worry. She’ll make a great moderate president.  How about 2019 when she said she was going to ban fracking entirely? Or, that same year, when she said she wanted to ban plastic straws: “Look, I’m going to be honest. It’s really difficult out of — drink out of a paper straw — like, if you don’t gulp it down immediately, it starts to bend.” She wanted to get rid of the plastic straws because she is a totalitarian. That’s what she is.  WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show In addition, the effort to paint her as any kind of success is a lie. Being an abject failure is not just what she was during the campaign. It’s also what she has been as vice president. She bragged in 2021 about being the last person in the room making decisions with Joe Biden on Afghanistan, the single worst foreign policy failure of the United States in my lifetime. How about in 2021 when she was put in charge of the border? Biden said so. She was famously asked by Lester Holt whether she had any plans to go to the border. She answered, “You know, we are going to the border. We’ve been to the border. So this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border. We’ve been to the border. We’ve been to the border.” Holt persisted, “You haven’t been to the border.” She replied, “And I haven’t been to Europe.” In 2021, Biden, in his address to a joint session of Congress, suggested he was going to put Harris in charge of achieving high speed internet for the American people, saying, “I know it will get done.” Did it get done? No, it absolutely did not. According to Breitbart: Vice President Kamala Harris, who was tapped to lead the administration’s rural broadband expansion, failed to connect one person with high-speed internet despite having $42.5 billion from the so-called infrastructure bill. … Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commission Brendan Carr noted in June that Biden and Harris did not connect one American despite having access to $42.5 billion in funding from the so-called infrastructure bill, or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. How about in 2023 when she bragged about her electric school buses, saying, “You know, what also excites me, when I — among the many things? I’m excited about electric school buses. I love electric school buses. I just love them for so many reasons. Maybe because I went to school on a school bus.” That was right after Biden put her in charge of the government’s billion-dollar investment in electric school buses.  So how many electric school buses were actually created? According to the Washington Free Beacon: Harris and EPA administrator Michael Regan unleashed nearly $1 billion in federal rebates for 389 school districts across all 50 states to help deliver a total 2,463 electric school buses. According to federal data reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, just 27 of those districts have proven to the EPA that their buses were delivered and that their diesel-fueled buses being replaced have been discarded. Collectively, those districts have deployed a total of 60 battery-electric or low-emissions propane-fueled school buses. And 55 additional districts have pulled out of the program. So where are the media? Where are they?  They are too busy massaging her. They’re too busy talking about how she’s “brat,” suddenly cool, and does TikTok dances. They did this with Obama in 2005 and again in 2012. And now, they’re trying to make it happen with Harris.  They are lying right along with her.

If the excitement of the Olympics wasn’t enough, some of us are in for another incredible primetime show. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Space Weather Prediction Center issued a G3 storm watch on July 31 and August 1. Many states are potentially in the view line of the Aurora Borealis, commonly known as the Northern Lights. According to the NOAA, the northern lights “are the result of electrons colliding with Earth’s upper atmosphere.  When space weather activity increases, the aurora may be visible.” If you live in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, or Maine, you might be able to see the magnificent light show. @weatherchannel Thanks to an active sun, parts of the U.S. may be treated to a celestial spectacle tonight with aurora conditions possible through August 1. #TheWeatherChannel #fyp #northernlights #stars #sky #nightsky #aurora #weathertok ♬ original sound – The Weather Channel “A number of complex sunspot groups are present on the visible solar disk and solar activity has increased, to include an R3 (strong) solar flare Sunday evening,” the NOAA said in a release. “A number of (coronal mass ejections) have been associated with the increased activity, and at least four of these have anticipated Earth-directed components, with possible arrivals beginning Tuesday on into Thursday.” The Weather Must Cooperate To View The Northern Lights The NOAA recommends finding a dark spot with limited light pollution to get a good look at the Northern Lights. Try to get to a higher vantage point if possible to see the show. Remember, you can only see the Northern Lights when the skies are clear. Amazingly, according to People, taking a picture with a smartphone might actually give you the best view as it’s not as easy to see with your eyes. The best time to see the Northern Lights will be between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
