Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Ranking Member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray on Friday demanding that he correct his controversial statement from his House hearing this week when he suggested that former President Donald Trump may not have been hit by a bullet during an assassination attempt two weeks ago. Wray told the House Judiciary Committee that it was not clear what hit Trump, that there was “some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear.” “As Ranking Member of the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary, I believe it is very important for you to correct your testimony before Congress on Wednesday when you indicated it is uncertain whether President Donald J. Trump was hit by a bullet, glass, or shrapnel,” Graham wrote in a letter to Wray. “It is clear to everyone that President Trump survived an assassination attempt by millimeters, as the attempted assassin’s bullet ripped the upper part of his ear.” Graham noted that official government briefings that he has received clearly stated that Trump was hit by a bullet, therefore it “should not be a point of contention.” “I urge you to immediately correct your statement and acknowledge that President Trump was hit by a bullet rather than glass or shrapnel,” he added. “As head of the FBI, you should not be creating confusion about such matters, as it further undercuts the agency’s credibility with millions of Americans. Please correct this statement immediately.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Graham’s letter comes as The New York Times conducted a thorough video, audio, and trajectory analysis that found that Trump was hit by a bullet and not any kind of debris. Forensic experts confirmed that the viral photo that captured a bullet passing by Trump’s head, after it struck his ear, was the first shot that was fired. A remarkable photo captured by my former White House Press Corps colleague Doug Mills. Zoom in right above President Trump’s shoulder and you’ll see a bullet flying in the air to the right of President Trump’s head following an attempted assassination. pic.twitter.com/FqmLBCytoW — Haraz N. Ghanbari (@HarazGhanbari) July 14, 2024 “He flinches, and his right hand already starts reaching for his right ear during that time between the first audible shot and the second audible shot,” said Rob Maher, an audio forensics expert at Montana State University. As Trump pulled his hand away from his ear, blood can be seen on it, indicating that the bullet that missed his head by only fractions of an inch did, in fact, strike Trump’s ear. Photographs following the shooting that that were taken over the rally site in Pennsylvania showed that the 20-year-old would-be assassin had a clear line of site at the former president and that there was nothing impeding his line of fire.

As a senator, Vice President Kamala Harris pushed for Congress to restrict the Department of Homeland Security’s capacity to hold and detain illegal immigrants caught crossing into the United States. The push came years before immigration officials began releasing thousands of illegal immigrants, including those with criminal records, into the United States, because of a record-level surge in immigration during the Biden-Harris administration. Back in July 2019, Harris introduced legislation that would block DHS from constructing more facilities to detain illegal immigrants. According to a summary of the bill, it would prohibit DHS “from using any federal funds to construct or expand immigration detention facilities and requires additional oversight of such facilities.” Additionally, the bill would have made DHS come up with a plan to reduce the number of available beds for illegal immigrants and come up with “community-based alternatives to detention.” She had introduced a similar bill back in May 2018 that also aimed to reduce the capacity for federal authorities to detain illegal immigrants. If her legislation had succeeded, it likely would have exacerbated the illegal immigration crisis during the Biden administration as an estimated 10 million illegal immigrants have entered the United States. Over the last few years, there have been reports of thousands of illegal immigrants being released because of limited detention space. Thousands of illegal immigrants, including those with criminal records, were released in May 2023 ahead of an expected surge of illegal crossings because of the end of Title 42, the Washington Times reported. Title 42 was a Trump-era policy that allowed illegal immigrants to be turned back because of health concerns. WATCH BEN SHAPIRO’S ‘SCAMALA: KAMALA HARRIS UNMASKED’ ON DAILYWIRE+ The New York Post reported that 13,000 illegal immigrants were released onto the streets of San Diego last October because of limited shelter space. Since becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, Harris has come under increasing scrutiny from conservatives, especially for her record as Biden’s “border czar.” Republicans have pointed to Biden’s announcement in March 2021 giving Harris authority to respond to the crisis. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) traveled to the border on Thursday, saying that the crisis had been “engineered” by the Biden-Harris administration. “Border czar and San Francisco radical Kamala Harris bears the responsibility for this disaster,” Johnson said as he spoke with reporters at the San Ysidro Port of Entry in San Diego.

Former President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he will be returning to the town where he survived an assassination attempt earlier this month to hold a rally honoring those who were shot. The former president was shot by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks on July 13 during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, as he spoke to thousands of supporters who were in attendance. “I WILL BE GOING BACK TO BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA, FOR A BIG AND BEAUTIFUL RALLY, HONORING THE SOUL OF OUR BELOVED FIREFIGHTING HERO, COREY, AND THOSE BRAVE PATRIOTS INJURED TWO WEEKS AGO,” Trump posted on social media. “WHAT A DAY IT WILL BE — FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS.” 50-year-old Corey Comperatore was killed nearly instantly after rounds that were fired at Trump hit a large group of supporters behind the stage. David Dutch, 57, was released from the hospital this week after spending a significant amount of time in critical condition.

As if the Olympic rings were not stunning enough on their own, spectators got an extra special treat earlier this week. The Eiffel Tower was truly a sight to behold as the full moon perfectly lined up inside the 2024 Olympic rings. While there were multiple stunning shots, none were more spectacular than when the moon landed right in the middle. See the photos below. When the moon kisses the Olympic Rings at the Eiffel Tower. Amazing images from @gregmartin11 (Copyright) taken last night.#Olympics #Paris2024 @LaTourEiffel pic.twitter.com/iaKtY4VR8M— Christian Klaue (@ChKlaue) July 22, 2024 Paris Olympics: What Do The Rings Represent? While people were amazed by the stunning photos, it got people wondering about the meaning behind the rings. The Olympic rings are a global representation of the Olympic Movement and the activities that accompany it. According to Olympics.com, “the Olympic symbol expresses the activity of the Olympic Movement and represents the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games.”  Although the rings in the photos from the Paris Olympics are white, there are variations with color. “When used in its five-colour version, these colours shall be, from left to right, blue, yellow, black, green and red.” When Is The Full Moon? Gautam Ramuvel/Unsplash Full moons occur about every 29.5 days, or once a month. Those 29 some days are roughly the amount of time it takes for the moon to complete a lunar cycle. Using math, calendars, and calculations it is relatively easy to predict when the next full moon should be. For example, the next full moon is estimated to be on August 19th. With the perfection of this photo, you almost have to wonder if the placement of the rings, and the date of the Paris Olympics was an intentional choice. While I bet it was just sheer luck, that does not make the photos any less spectacular. It almost looks as if the moon was playing with the rings. Starting off in the bottom left ring, and then moving into the center ring. Finally, to end beneath the center ring, almost as if it was a new, sixth Olympic ring. It truly was an incredible sight that all those who gathered for the Paris Olympics were lucky enough to enjoy.

In the EU, Apple has been forced to allow third-party iOS app stores, and several months after the rule came into effect, one of them, AltStore PAL, released the first apps. Other than weakening the grip Apple has on what its users are allowed to use on their phones, the AltStore’s move is notable for including only one app that is already in the giant’s store. Even more notably, Apple users in the EU can now install torrenting apps – the type of software that is banned from the official store, because Apple has chosen to associate this otherwise legal protocol and clients with “often” being used to infringe on copyright. But now, AltStore has iTorrent, a torrent client, and qBitControl, a qBittorrent remote client in its initial offer. In a series of posts on social media, those behind the third-party store said that it contains apps Apple users can’t find anywhere else (with the caveat, however, that this may be the case “unless Apple changes their rules again…”) The posts said that what they call initial recommended sources have been inspected to comply with safety standards, and instruct users on how to update the store and get the new apps. Explaining iTorrent, AltStore developers said that it allows iPhones to have the same functionality that’s been available on computers for decades, namely, the use of peer-to-peer networks. qBitControl, on the other hand, allows users to remotely control qBittorrent installed on their computers. The one app that is in already the Apple Store (although it was first banned there, but then allowed just this month, and its developers say thanks to AltStore) is UTM SE. It is a virtual machine that emulates other operating systems (such as Linux and Windows) on macOS on iOS. AltStore suggests it is particularly popular for playing retro games that were previously unavailable on Apple’s OS’s. Finally, there’s PeopleDrop, a social discovery app with a focus on dating, which AltStore likens to the functionality of 3DS StreetPass, but this time needing only one device, with PeopleDrop running in the background and automatically discovering other users in close proximity.
