Donald Trump Jr. alleges that shooting was NOT a coincidence, and the evidence is adding up



When Donald Trump Jr. told Tucker Carlson that the assassination attempt on his father was not a coincidence and that anyone who said so was a “freaking idiot,” he vocalized and normalized what many Americans have been silently asking — was the shooting an inside job?

More and more people in the field of national security, some of whom have chosen to remain anonymous, have come forward and said something to the effect of, "Yes, evidence is suggesting that Crooks was groomed and assisted."

Of course, this begs the question: Then who is complicit in the crime?

Investigative journalist and Blaze Media correspondent Steve Baker joins “Blaze News Tonight” to go over the accumulated puzzle pieces that are beginning to paint a clearer picture of what exactly happened on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Donald Trump Jr.: Trump Assassination Attempt Not a 'Coincidence' | 7/29/2024youtu.be

Blaze Media was “very fortunate to have sources on the ground on the evening of July 13 as well as the next morning before the Secret Service gag order went into effect,” says Baker, adding that the “single-most significant thing” that Blaze sources discovered was that “the radio coms were ... ‘siloed.”’

Baker explains that Secret Service and local law enforcement at the rally “were not in communication with each other because they were not prepped” prior to the rally.

“When things started going wrong and then suspicions began being raised about this particular guy, Thomas Crooks, on the ground ... they couldn't get communications back to verify that he was not a blue-on-blue situation,” ultimately allowing for “the first shot to be fired.”

However, the question remains: Was this lack of communication and preparation purposeful?

Clearly Donald Trump Jr. thinks so.

Colorado invokes 14th Amendment in an attempt to remove Trump from ballot



Colorado is pulling out all the stops to get former president Donald Trump’s name off the 2024 GOP presidential ballot.

Trump’s legal team is back in court defending their client as the state attempts to use the Fourteenth Amendment to throttle his campaign.

Dr. Peter Simi, who is being heralded as an “expert,” took the stand against Trump to discuss his supposed “far-right extremism.”

Simi testified that Trump has actually called for violence, which is something he claims to have never seen a political figure do before.

To demonstrate Trump’s abhorrent, violent speech, prosecutors played a clip of him for the court.

In the clip, Trump is heard discussing election integrity, which he finishes with “we fight, we fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

Sara Gonzales is amused that the court thought that was violent.

“That couldn’t have been metaphorical, he clearly was calling for violence. And by the way, no one on the left has ever called for any sort of violence or taking to the streets or getting up in Trump supporters' faces,” Gonzales mocks.

BlazeTV contributor Jaco Booyens notes that it's not only leftist politicians, like Maxine Waters, who have blatantly called for violence but also celebrities, including Johnny Depp and Kathy Griffin.

However, this information was dismissed by the Colorado court.

Colorado’s Secretary of State, Jena Griswold, made sure to drive this point home.

“Having a court weigh in when there is reason to weigh in is exactly how our system should work. Filing a case because there’s questions about the US Constitution is not election interference; it’s abiding by a society that puts laws over strong men, insurrectionists, and rebellion,” she told Fox31.

Booyens is disgusted. “We’re just going to go to the court, never mind that the court’s completely swayed to the left, that the judge is bought off, yes, bought off, that the DA is as corrupt as Biden himself.”

“Where’s innocent until proven guilty?” he asks.

Putin prosecutes Navalny– just as Joe Biden is attempting with Trump



Alexei Navalny has long been the face of Russian opposition to President Vladimir Putin, and now he’s behind bars. The 47-year-old blogger survived poisoning with a nerve agent before being thrown in prison for “extremist” activities.

Mark Levin believes that the way Donald Trump is being treated isn’t much different from Putin’s treatment of Navalny.

“Alexei Navalny was a very wealthy man. Self-made. Not one of these phony oligarchs. And he believed in democracy, and the free press, and he would rally people to these causes,” Levin explains.

Nalvany’s sentence has been extended to 19 years.

“They went in front of a judge appointed by, well, Putin. Much like the judge in the Washington, D.C., case was appointed by Obama,” Levin notes.

“I want to tell you what it sounds like to me, and the parallel between what Biden and Putin have done to their leading political opponent. The use of the state, the use of prosecutors, the use of friendly judges, the use of long sentences, for the threat of long sentences,” Levin says, alleging that Putin and Biden are treating political opposition similarly.

“Biden’s doing exactly the same thing to Trump,” he adds.

Debunking the Donald Trump indictment



Donald Trump just became the first U.S. president to be indicted by the Department of Justice on federal charges, and while many on the left are rejoicing, others see this as a purely political move.

The former president is facing seven counts related to his storage of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home.

“Some will say,” Pat Gray begins, “Donald Trump was indicted simply because of political reasons and, uh, wow — it’s true.”

Stu agrees.

He believes that if Donald Trump had been leaking top secret documents to the public like the kid who had leaked information on the Ukrainian war to his friends on Discord, it would be a “real problem.”

However, he also believes that the motivation in the kid's case was attempting to be cool among his friend group.

“I don’t know that this indicates that he should be in prison for the rest of his life, but I could understand why that would be a big story.”

“But, what basically is going on here is Donald Trump was president of the United States. He could see any of these documents. He had all of this information already,” Stu adds.

And no one is accusing Trump of selling the documents to foreign nationals or using them to launch a secret war in another country.

Rather, Stu says that “what they are accusing him of is not giving them back in a timely fashion when they wanted them.”

“What did he put it in the wrong filing cabinet? This is what we’re going to bring a president down on?”

Gray believes the indictment truly is politically motivated.

“They’re trying desperately to stop him from running for president,” he says.

“At this point, I think they’re pretty afraid that he’ll beat them,” Gray adds.

Glenn: Do this TODAY to help stop possible Trump arrest



They have the man they want to see arrested; now they just have to figure out what his crime is. And apparently, the left is sticking with his dealings with Stormy Daniels as what’s finally going to take him down.

Glenn Beck knows it's nothing, but the left will do anything to see him fall.

He says, “It’s not a bribe; it was a settlement. He settled a case. That happens all the time.”

But if you want to fight what’s happening to the former president, you have to take action. Beck advises, “Get on the phone with your member of the GOP, whichever and as many as you possibly can dial. And I mean local all the way to the top.”

He continues, “Governments are instituted among men to protect rights. They haven’t protected our First Amendment right, the GOP hasn’t.”

Glenn says that the reason Donald Trump is so popular is because people feel that he understands them and is fighting for them as well as himself.

He continues, “They’re against him because he’s standing in the way to get to us. That’s the way most Trump supporters feel. It’s the way I feel.”

Will anyone in the GOP become a leader and stand up today for the rights of our former president? Glenn is asking that you do. That someone in the GOP does.

“So you call ... and you say ... I want you to stand up against the violation of our rights and the violation of Donald Trump’s right. We have a banana republic. We sent you there to protect and defend the Constitution. I don’t think you’re doing enough.”

Donald Trump’s persecution marks him as a sinner in need of a savior



Freedom cannot be preserved by people who are enslaved to their sin.

This week, Jason Whitlock weighed in on the news that former President Trump may soon be arrested for tax fraud in relation to a $130,000 hush-money payment to a porn star, Stormy Daniels.

“There’s little doubt that the charges being formulated against Trump are politically motivated and far more persecution than legitimate prosecution,” Whitlock said.

To drive the point home, Whitlock explained, “For a multibillionaire such as Trump, it’s the equivalent of arresting a factory worker for falsely writing off a $13 McDonald’s lunch.”

However, there is biblical imagery prevalent in the situation in which Trump finds himself.

Donald Trump has described himself as “the only thing standing in the way of the American dream and total anarchy, madness, and chaos” and as the American people’s “voice,” “warrior,” and “retribution.”

It seems that the full force of those on the left has banded together to figuratively crucify who they see as a stand-in for the American people.

“[Trump] needs to embrace the cross; we all do. Anyone with a sincere interest in saving America has to be willing to embrace persecution. That’s the time we’re living in; it’s the time we’ve created,” said Whitlock.

No one is exempt from their need for the one and only savior of the world, Jesus Christ.

America’s declining morality has been eating away at the foundation of the country for decades. But to save a Christian nation, there must be a return to Christian values.

Eradicating the sin in each individual’s life would do infinitely more for the restoration of America than complaining about the left on social media.

We are in a deeply spiritual battle, and there is only one solution.

“I’m no different from Donald Trump. I took American freedom for granted, I reveled in the secular pleasures America affords in abundance, and ignored the doings of the people who despise this country’s founding documents, principles, and values,” Whitlock said.

Only Christ can save this nation from the dark place to which it is headed. Trump cannot save us. Politicians cannot save us.

If each of us were to lay our sins and lives at the foot of the cross, America would have a better chance of survival than if our preferred political candidate was elected.
