Furious GOP U.S senators confronted Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday, demanding she answer lingering questions about the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump or resign. Senators John Barrasso of Wyoming and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee confronted Cheatle after a conference call earlier in the day, but the senators’ questions were cut off. “All of us were on the phone,” Barrasso told Cheatle. “We’re very disappointed. We were all in the queue trying to ask questions … every one of us had questions we wanted to ask.” Barrasso continued, adding that the senators were “very disappointed” in Cheatle’s “leadership,” noting that “allowing him (Trump) to go on stage in Pennsylvania at a time when you’d already been alerted that there was somebody …” was inexcusable. He then said bluntly that she should offer her “resignation or full explanation.” “Can you give an explanation? Why would anyone allow a president to go on stage when you know that you’ve got a potential threat and you’ve got snipers …?” Blackburn asked. When Cheatle tried to escape the questioners by saying, “I don’t think this is the format to have this discussion,” Barrasso fired, “Well, we can find a place to go right now. As the senators followed her, Barrasso walked alongside her, declaring, “You answer to us. You answer to us.” “You owe President Trump answers,” Blackburn demanded. “You cannot run away from your responsibility to the people of the United States. You’re the head of the Secret Service,” Barrasso added. ?FULL VIDEO: Secret Service Director REFUSES to answer to the American people. pic.twitter.com/MPVOke5zhY — Marsha Blackburn (@VoteMarsha) July 18, 2024 After the confrontation, Barrasso and Blackburn issued further statements. “Senator Blackburn and I just went face to face with the Director of the Secret Service, asking for specific answers about what happened with President Trump in Pennsylvania and how that shooter was able to get off a clear shot when the FBI with the Secret Service knew that there was a suspicious person an hour in advance of when the shooting occurred,” Barrasso said. “And they identified a potential threat at 5:51,” Blackburn said. “She would not answer our questions. She wanted to say it was not the time or place. This is after we’ve been through a conference call today where the question queue got cut off. But I’ve got a message for her: She can run, but she cannot hide because the American people want to know how an assassination attempt was carried out on former President Donald Trump.” BREAKING: We just confronted the Secret Service Director at the RNC Convention.

But Butler Township Commissioner Edward Natali fired back, “The Butler Township Police Department had no security detail for this event. There were seven officers all assigned to traffic detail. Period!! The BTPD was not responsible for securing AGR or any other location.

The hit FX Original “The Bear” broke a record for a comedy series, racking up the most Emmy nominations ever in that genre.  Nominees for the 76th Emmy Awards were announced Wednesday morning. The FX drama series “Shogun” led the total nominations with 25, while “The Bear” made second place overall with 23. Prior to 2024, the most Emmy nominations for a comedy series went to NBC’s “30 Rock,” which received 22 nods in 2009. “The Bear” documents the drama of a Chicago-based sandwich shop that goes through a drastic transformation after the owner takes his life. Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) leaves the world of fine dining to run his late brother’s popular spot, then eventually transforms it into a totally different type of restaurant with the help of a supporting cast, including Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Liza Colon-Zoyas, Abby Elliot, and others. Last year, the show earned 13 Emmy nominations and took home 10 wins.

Dogs are never given enough credit for their manipulative natures. They all have a patented “I didn’t do it” look. When you’re getting ready to leave, the sad expression they wear can melt even the darkest heart. And that is why Dexter Black, aka “Shnootle,” gets to go with his mom on many of her outings. The black Labrador is a master of the guilt trip! @shnootle.hound “Why do you take yoir dog everywhere?” … this is why… he can speak human and i feel guilty. He knows somethings up when i first name him #sillydog #labrador #shnootle #dogsoftiktok #funnydog #labradorretriever ♬ original sound – Dexter Black When Shnootle sees his mom leaving, he enters his Labrador guilt trip mode. The first thing on the agenda is love and kisses. Image from TikTok. Once mom says to quit kissing her and sit, Shnootle immediately gives her “the look.” You know the one. It almost seems to say, “Did I do something wrong, mommy? Do you still love me?” It’s the guilt trip face, and the Labrador is a seasoned professional. Image from TikTok. When his mom explains that she has to go, Dexter seems to understand every word she says. She talks to him like he’s another human. At one point, he doesn’t want to hear it and jumps off the sofa. She calls him back up and continues. She explains that he has to go into his bed. Some of the looks he offers are captioned in the reel. You can almost hear him speaking the words as he whines softly. Dexter’s Labrador guilt trip mode fully engages as he pulls out all the stops. Image from TikTok. In the video caption, Dexter’s mom says, “he can speak human, and I feel guilty.” This extreme Labrador guilt trip is why she takes him almost everywhere with her. Shnootle gave an outstanding performance, and we’re unsure if she gave in on this trip. Please share if you enjoyed this. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
