Down the Memory Hole: Google Hides Autocomplete Suggestions Related to Trump Assassination Attempt:

Google has hidden autocomplete suggestions related to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. By removing autocomplete suggestions, the Masters of the World are trying to make it more difficult for users to access information about the attempt on Trump’s life. This is just the latest act of election interference by the internet giant.

Breitbart News tested Google’s search bar on Sunday, finding that typing in the words “assassination attempt” resulted in autocomplete suggestions of “truman,” “reagan,” “fidel castro,” “slovakia,” “bob marley,” “lenin,” “gerald ford,” “teddy roosevelt,” “saudi arabia,” “john paul ii,” and “franklin roosevelt.”

Taking it a step further by typing in “assassination attempt trum” — omitting only the last letter of President Trump’s surname — resulted in autocomplete suggestions of “truman,” “president truman,” and “harry truman.”

Moreover, when users type in the full spelling, “assassination attempt trump,” into Google’s search bar, no autocomplete suggestions appear.

The mainstream media, including CNN and Washington Postreacted to the assassination attempt by producing dubious headlines that read, “Trump speech interrupted by Secret Service,” “Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally,” “Trump escorted away after loud noises at Pa. rally,” and “Trump removed from stage after loud noises startles former president, crowd,” among others.

On Thursday, Newsweek published a false headline, titled, “Donald Trump Might Not Have Been Shot After All,” citing FBI Director Christopher Wray, who incorrectly stated, “There’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear.”

On Friday, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), also a former White House physician for 14 years, released a memo providing an update on Trump’s health. In his memo, Jackson also addressed Wray’s erroneous statement.

“There is absolutely no evidence that it was anything other than a bullet,” Jackson wrote. “Congress should correct the record as confirmed by both the hospital and myself. Director Wray is wrong and inappropriate to suggest anything else.”

Assassination attempt not a 'coincidence,' Donald Trump Jr. says:

Would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was likely trained and pointed to the building he used as a sniper's nest, a special operations expert tells Blaze News.

Editor's note: This article has been updated to include a headline that better reflects Donald Trump Jr.'s remarks as well as to state that he made the remarks on July 26, not July 29.

The conditions that allowed a 20-year-old would-be assassin to get a clear shot at assassinating former President Donald J. Trump didn’t happen by coincidence, Donald Trump Jr. said July 26.

“I don’t honestly think that the guys at the Secret Service — many who I know and respect — magically left an entire roof unguarded where a guy with a rifle could get there for 20 minutes within 150 yards,” Trump Jr. said in an interview with journalist Tucker Carlson.

“Like, that doesn't happen. That's not being a conspiracy theorist,” Trump Jr. said. "Like, you're a freaking idiot if you think that that just happened by coincidence.”

The junior Trump’s explosive statement raises the public specter of what has been mostly whispered only in private: Were the U.S. Secret Service or others in government somehow complicit in the attempted assassination? Did would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks have help?

J. Michael Waller, senior analyst at the Center for Security Policy and author of the best-selling book “Big Intel: How the CIA Went from Cold War Heroes to Deep State Villains,” said the ugliest explanations cannot be ruled out.

“It’s really hard to separate incompetence from willful negligence or even simple negligence or malice," Waller said on the July 19 episode of "Blaze News Tonight." "You can’t rule out malice. You can’t rule out somebody wanted this to happen.”

A top-tier U.S. military special operations expert told Blaze News that after examining all of the evidence to date, the hallmarks are there to suggest that Crooks was groomed and trained for an assassination attempt.

"It’s not in the realm of real possibility for the government to be this incompetent," the special operator said on condition of anonymity. "There is no chance Crooks was not pointed to which building he needed to be on.

"Rank incompetence vs. rank arrogance. I’ve seen a lot of it in my 30 years in government ops. This was neither," the expert said, suggesting that initial clues are visible in Crooks' behavior.

Crooks' 11-minute drone flight two hours before the shooting was likely not for surveillance, the expert said, but for planning his route onto the grounds and up onto the roof. FBI Director Christopher Wray told a U.S. House hearing that Crooks flew the drone some 200 yards from the stage where Trump would speak.

"A 20-year-old with no military or government training doing so many things correctly — range finder, drone, recon, turning off his phone — had to have been 'groomed' into this process. He was likely paid by some government or dark money source.

"I don’t think he went rogue or was a rogue operator," the expert said. "I’ve seen and been involved in these types of ops for too many years. He had instructions.

Former President Trump and the public need to realize how bad the problem is at the Secret Service, the source indicated.

Trump Announces Plan to Eliminate Taxes on Social Security Checks:

Former President Donald Trump announced his intention to eliminate taxes on Social Security checks if he regains the White House.

This announcement comes as part of a larger strategy outlined by the Republican National Committee (RNC) in their 2024 GOP Platform released earlier this month, titled “Make America Great Again!”

“The Republican National Committee (RNC) Platform Committee adopted President Donald J. Trump’s 2024 Republican Party Platform with overwhelming support– a pro-American agenda that stands in stark contrast to the record of weakness, failure, and dishonesty created by Joe Biden,” the Trump campaign said.

The platform emphasizes a commitment to protecting Social Security and Medicare, promising no cuts or changes to the retirement age—a sentiment that resonates deeply with millions of Americans who rely on these programs for financial stability.
On Wednesday, Trump took to Truth Social to amplify his message. “SENIORS SHOULD NOT PAY TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY!” he declared, framing the tax elimination as a necessary step to ensure that seniors can keep more of their hard-earned benefits.

Lead Secret Service Agent Called Off Security from Building Roof Before Sniper Shot President Trump – And She Is Still Deciding Security and Advance Teams at Rallies:

Jesse Watters on Wednesday night revealed that the top Secret Service official who blew the security at the Trump Butler rally is still calling the shots and approving advance teams at Trump rallies. The female agent is still calling the shots at the Trump rallies despite failing in her one job – to keep the President safe and secure in public.

It appears that there is no accountability in the US government today. You can even fail a security detail and get the former president shot in the head and keep your job.

And we still do not know her name or the names of the other officials who set up the situation that allowed President Trump and others to be shot, despite knowing the situation was not secure.

Crooks wasn’t lying prone on a slope roof. He was moving all around. He was flying a drone. He was raising all red flags with law enforcement. He was dancing on the rooftop. Now we have video of him. I mean, come on, right before he pulls the trigger?

It’s been 18 days since Trump was nearly killed on live TV, and we still don’t have answers. What was his motive? How did he build three explosive devices in his parents' house without anybody knowing? What was he doing with encrypted foreign apps? Who signed off on the plans that left the building outside the perimeter?…

…The Secret Service says they can’t tell us who was in charge because the person’s investigating what went wrong. Really? According to Senator Josh Hawley, it’s a female supervisor. We don’t know her name yet. We don’t know her qualifications.  Back in April, the Secret Service was blasted in a petition from active duty agents for caring more about diversity than adequate training, saying it’s a double standard that posed a threat to national security. But no one’s going to think about that. They’re covering their you know what's.

Rep. Michael Walsh: This administration has a real problem throughout the entire thing, from the Defense Department through to the Secret Service, with one word, that’s accountability or the lack thereof. Look, at the end of the day, we’ve got to see people, the American people have got to see people held accountable and fired, at least suspended.

... the fact that that lead agent is still approving advances, is still approving rallies, is still approving events when they did something so asinine and stupid as leaving that building outside the perimeter, it’s mind-blowing.

JD Vance Rips 9/11 Plea Deal: ‘Need a President Who Kills Terrorists, Not Negotiates with Them’:

Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (OH) has been tearing into the Biden-Harris administration for cutting a plea deal with three accused September 11, 2001, terrorists so that they will avoid the death penalty.

A spokesperson for the Office of Military Commissions (OMC) — which is prosecuting the case against alleged mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his accused co-conspirators, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi — confirmed to the New York Post on Wednesday that it had entered into pre-trial agreements with the defendants. 

All three accused al-Qaeda terrorists have been held at the U.S. military prison in Guantánamo Bay since 2003, the outlet reported.  “In exchange for 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,” said a letter that chief OMC prosecutor Rear Adm. Aaron C. Rugh signed, addressed to the September 11 victims’ families.

The letter upset many loved ones of the innocent Americans who perished at the hands of al-Qaeda, as well as Vance, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. 

“We need a president who kills terrorists, not negotiates with them,” Trump’s vice presidential pick told a crowd of supporters at a Wednesday campaign stop in Glendale, Arizona, shortly after the news broke. 

“Just today, I heard that the Biden-Harris Department of Justice cut a deal with al-Qaeda terrorist Khalid Sheik Mohammed to avoid the death penalty,” Vance continued. “As someone who enlisted in the Marines to serve after 9/11, that is ridiculous, but it’s not surprising.”

Just think about the point that we’ve gotten to: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have weaponized the Department of Justice to go after their political opponents, but they’re cutting a sweetheart deal with 9/11 terrorists.

We need a president who kills terrorists, not negotiates with them.

Vance also targeted the current vice president for appearing to switch to a southern accent when addressing the crowd at her Atlanta, Georgia, campaign rally on Tuesday: 

“Kamala Harris is a phony who caters to whatever audience is in front of her,” Vance said, referring to Harris’s “fake southern accent.”

“Now, what the h**l is that all about? Kamala Harris grew up in Canada. They don’t talk like that in Vancouver or Quebec or wherever she came from. Doesn’t matter,” he added. “It’s the same new liberal policies, but a different accent [depending on] whoever she’s talking to.”

U.S., Russia prisoner swap secures release of Evan Gershkovich, Paul Whelan and others:

After a historically complex, monthslong negotiation involving more than six countries and two dozen prisoners, the Biden administration on Thursday announced it had secured the release of three American citizens from Russia, including Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, Marine veteran Paul Whelan and Russian-American radio journalist Alsu Kurmasheva, all of whom are expected to arrive on American soil by nightfall. 

The three returned to the United States late Thursday night as part of a 24-person prisoner swap — one of the largest since the end of the Cold War — among the U.S., Russia, Germany and three other Western countries. 

The deal is a significant and hard-fought win for the Biden administration....

Under the terms of the agreement, 12 political dissidents held in Russia have been released to Germany. Kremlin critic and Washington Post contributor Vladimir Kara-Murza is expected to be flown to Germany, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Thursday. Kara-Murza is a British-Russian citizen and a green card holder. His family lives in the U.S.

Two Russians held in Slovenia, one in Poland and another in Norway are also headed home. All have known or suspected ties to Russian intelligence, according to U.S. officials. They included a husband and wife, Artem Viktorovich Dultsev and Anna Valerevna Dultseva, who were arrested in 2022 and convicted on espionage charges in Slovenia. They were each serving a 19-month sentence. They flew back to Russia with their two children.

Key among the prisoners returned to Russia, according to American officials familiar with the talks, was Vadim Krasikov, a convicted murderer who was sentenced to life in prison by a German court in 2021 for killing a Georgian asylee who had fought against Russians in Chechnya. German judges said the killing had been ordered by Russian federal authorities and called it "state terrorism."

The painstakingly choreographed exchange, apparently one of the most complex in history, finally took place on Thursday on a tarmac in Ankara, Turkey.

Russia had long sought the repatriation of Krasikov, a convicted murderer with ties to Russian intelligence. But the Germans were reluctant to let Krasikov out.  "He was certainly the biggest fish the Russians wanted back," a senior U.S. official said about Krasikov. "This is a bad dude and a member of the Russian intelligence service."

Secret Service Director Reveals What Exactly Happened on the Day Trump Was Shot — Crooks Was Neutralized 15 Seconds After First Shot — Agents Unaware of Crooks’ Firearm Until Shots Were Fired:

The U.S. Secret Service held a critical news briefing on Friday to address its “colossal security failure” at the Butler, Pennsylvania Trump rally, in light of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr. revealed the detailed timeline and critical moments that transpired on the day Trump was shot.

Rowe admitted that Secret Service personnel were unaware that Thomas Crooks had a firearm during former President Trump’s speech until gunshots rang out.    ... It is my understanding that personnel were not aware the assailant had a firearm until they heard gunshots,” said Rowe.

Rowe said, “At 6:11 PM, the assailant’s first volley of three shots was fired, and within three seconds, the former President’s detail rushed the stage and covered former President Trump, shielding him with their own bodies. The fourth through eighth shots took place over the next several seconds. Fifteen and a half seconds after the assailant’s first shot, a Secret Service counter-sniper fired a single round that neutralized the assailant.”

As Gateway Pundit readers know, the AGR building is where Crooks set up shop to carry out his assassination attempt. The Secret Service inexplicable left the area unguarded despite it being within 150 yards of Trump, an easy shot for a halfway decent shooter.

When asked if any personnel had been terminated in connection with the incident, Rowe responded that not a single person has been fired for the attempt on President Trump’s life.

[I watched this on TV, the first news briefing by the Secret Service about the assassination attempt.  He said they are still investigating it and don't want to fire people prematurely. But, they are changing some procedures.]

It didn’t take long for Harris’ campaign to start backtracking on her left-wing positions:

During her first run for the presidency, Harris endorsed a ban on fracking, mandatory federal gun buybacks and the abolition of private health insurance.

...her campaign is now trying to clarify that she has changed her positions after Republicans flooded social media with video clips of Harris endorsing such policies—less than 10 days after she launched her campaign following President Joe Biden’s July 21 announcement that he was quitting the 2024 race.

Harris’ campaign now says that she endorses a ban on assault weapons rather than mandatory federal buybacks, no longer believes that fracking should be banned and does not still want a single-payer health care system, according to The New York Times. The campaign also pointed out that the vice president supported Biden’s requests for more funding for border enforcement.

WHAT are they not telling us about the 9/11 mastermind plea deal?

September 11, 2001, saw the deadliest terrorist attack in the history of the United States, killing nearly 3,000 American citizens.

And yet, the masterminds behind the onslaught — Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two of his accomplices — have accepted plea deals.

“What they've done is in exchange for the removal of the death penalty as a possible punishment,” says Glenn Beck, who can’t believe these three men “haven’t even been tried yet.”

According to the report, “These three accused have agreed to plead guilty to all of the charged defenses, including the murder of 2,976 people listed in the charge sheet.”

“Now if there is anyone that deserves execution, I think it's somebody who killed 3,000 people” and “perpetrated the largest terrorist attack the world had seen,” says Glenn.

Stu Burguiere points out that the lack of a trial denies the families of the victims a critical component of their “closure process.”

“He just gets to say ‘I’m guilty’ and it’s over,” he says.

“What would be another reason not to have a trial?” asks Glenn.

“Some might think that if an entire trial were to go on, we might learn some things about how the government handled this situation, who they were dealing with, what arrangements were made for government officials from other countries. There's maybe something they might not want us to know about,” says Stu.

Pentagon Revokes Plea Deal of 9/11 Mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and Two Fellow Co-Conspirators After Public Outrage:

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced Friday the revocation of a plea deal previously reached with Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, the alleged mastermind behind the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, along with two of his co-conspirators, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi.

This decision effectively reinstates the possibility of the death penalty for the trio.

Secretary Austin’s announcement comes amid mounting pressure from various political factions and advocacy groups who argue that any leniency shown to those involved in the 9/11 attacks undermines justice for the nearly 3,000 victims and their families.

“I have determined that, in light of the significance of the decision to enter into pre-trial agreements with the accused in the above-referenced case, responsibility for such a decision should rest with me as the superior convening authority under the Military Commissions Act of 2009,” Austin wrote.

“Effective immediately, I hereby withdraw your authority in the above-referenced case to enter into a pre-trial agreement and reserve such authority to myself. Effective immediately, in the exercise of my authority, I hereby withdraw from the three pre-trial agreements that you signed on July 31, 2024 in the above-referenced case,” he added.

A senior Pentagon official said that the decision was the secretary’s alone, and that the White House had no involvement. The official said Mr. Austin had never supported a plea deal and wanted the military commission trials to proceed.
