The full briefing video is below. There are also preliminary pictures of the suspect. I would note the nervousness of the FBI agent in charge.
Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw: Secret Service was able to spot a rifle sticking out of the bushes and fired on the suspect some 300-400 yards away.
In the bushes where the suspect ran from, the Secret Service or law enforcement found an AK-47-style rifle with a scope, 2 backpacks that had ceramic tile at them, and a GoPro for taking photos.
Bradshaw also says he has photos of everything that they will release. Bradshaw: “Fortunately, we were able to locate a witness that came to us and said, “Hey, I saw the guy running out of the bushes, he jumped into a black Nissan, and I took a picture of the vehicle and the tags, which was great.” Said the Secret Service agent who spotted this and opened fire did a “fantastic job.”
The main point is that President Trump is okay and was not injured by gunfire that took place near his location at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. Details are freshly coming through.
UPDATE: “ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION” A man with an AK-style rifle pointed the firearm’s muzzle into Donald Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, as the former president was playing a round, prompting the U.S. Secret Service to open fire, according to three law enforcement officials. (More AP Details Below)
The former president is safe and unharmed, and the FBI says it is investigating “what appears to be an attempted assassination” of the Republican presidential candidate.
The person dropped the weapon and fled in an SUV, and was later taken into custody in a neighboring county, the officials said. The officials were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
An AK-style firearm was recovered at the scene near Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach, two of the officials said. And no injuries were reported.
Ordinarily the opinions of one tech billionaire would, perhaps, not matter much to the life of an ordinary American. However, in this era of 2024 election and the Technocracy influence, maybe this interview discussion carries a different set of values.
Tech entrepreneur Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir, an AI enhanced data processing system that streamlines the organization of technological surveillance methods, gives his views on a variety of current political aspects.
I find the interview as little interesting from a few perspectives. First, while generally supporting President Trump, Peter Thiel says he is choosing to stay out of the political influence game in the 2024 general election. Considering the scale of Thiels prior advocacy and specific action he undertook to put JD Vance into office and then into the VP nominee position for Trump – this decision to now ‘step back’ from 2024 seems a big disingenuous.
Second, and directly related to the first point, Thiel -through Palantir contracts- is now directly enmeshed in the Intelligence Community effort to capture and organize surveillance metadata of Americans. Perhaps, just perhaps, this new financial dependency plays a role in influencing his ‘step back’ decision. WATCH:
Other points worth noting relate to how Thiel outlines his perspectives on geopolitical events. When you look at Thiel’s communication abilities and perspectives it really shows you how shallow, small and generally naïve these top-tier influence agents can be.
You can see how there is a big difference between “theory” and practical reality or “practice.” Thiel waxes philosophically about how the human nature of leadership intersects with outcomes. Meanwhile, President Trump represents the practical application of geopolitical policy. Thiel’s thoughts are narrow and small. Trump’s thoughts are consequential, deep and can bring actionable results.
The contrast between Thiel and his co-panels’ theories, when overlaid against President Trump and his factual application of geopolitical leverage, pressure points, focused policy… and applied truthful/direct and brutally honest relationship presentation to world leaders -what Thiel calls “human agency”, really provides substance to the unique scale of Trump.
The “Thiel’s” of the world are talkers; Donald J Trump is a doer. Boy howdy does this discussion of smaller men showcase that dynamic.
President Trump and his opponent Kamala Harris were both asked the exact same question about what they could immediately do with policy to improve the economic status of Americans.
This provides a very specific compare and contrast opportunity. Kamala Harris delivers a strange, disconnected and unintelligible word salad in her response, never answering the question. President Trump gives three specific and immediate tax policy changes to benefit three specific groups of working Americans. WATCH the first question and answer of both videos:
Kamala Harris gave her first post-debate interview to ABC News6, Philadelphia. The media outlet understood the potential risk of the interview following public ridicule of the national ABC News debate. As a result, ABC News6 has posted the full unedited interview, and the responses by Kamala Harris highlight exactly why Brian Fallon has tried to keep her away from speaking without a teleprompter.
Not only does Kamala Harris fail to answer the questions, the responses she gives are ridiculous word-salad replies about ancillary issues that are not even connected to the primary topic being quieried. WATCH:
Tonight, President Donald J. Trump will be holding a MAGA rally in Las Vegas, Nevada. The anticipated start time for President Trump’s remarks is 10:00pm ET with livestream links below:
Earlier today President Donald Trump held an open press conference in Racho Palos Verdes, California. Beginning with a discussion of local issues including landslides in the area, President Trump delivered remarks pertinent to the region before talking about national political issues.
Robert F Kennedy Jr’s former Vice-Presidential running mate, Nicole Shanahan, continues to finance and produce high quality video content intended to unite the Donald Trump and RFK Jr movements while persuading moderate democrats to join the assembly. [Source Link]
In this video Mrs Shanahan draws attention to the false and malicious narrative done by the hardwired leftists, communists and corporate financial groups who have Alinsky’d the MAGA movement for almost a decade. It is a very well-done production intended to stimulate a deeper review by those who perhaps only pay slight attention to national politics. WATCH:
The message is good. The intent is good. The part of the Kennedy/Shanahan process that continues to befuddle me is not actually them. Instead, it’s the DNC/MSM and left-wing corporate group’s silence about parts of this unity message they would normally jump on.
Yesterday, Acting Director of the U.S. Secret Service, Ronald Rowe, briefed members of the House and Senate about the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.
Following the briefing Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn), told reporters that lawmakers “will have a report very, very soon that I think will absolutely shock the American people about the lapses and lags in protection that was afforded that day and the breakdown in communication, failure and responsibility.” Apparently, the USSS is going to use the ‘mistakes were made‘ justification for the failures in protection. WATCH:
.
(WASHINGTON DC) – Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe spoke with members of both the House and Senate in closed sessions Thursday to discuss the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Rowe briefed members in both chambers about the agency’s interim report examining the USSS’s security lapses that led to a gunman being able to scale a nearby building and open fire on Trump, just minutes into his rally.
This is quite remarkable and brilliantly done. While we don’t need anything to confirm what our eyes and ears clearly heard/saw, a guy uploaded the entire transcript of the ABC debate into ChatGPT and asked the artificial intelligence system to review the content for the presence of bias. [Source Link] ChatGPT then analyzed the transcript and gives a summary opinion. The result is pretty amazing.
...”So, this guy put the entire debate transcript in ChatGPT and asked ChatGPT to analyze the moderator bias and every single person needs to hear this because oh my God is it right on the money.”

As previously mentioned, do not negate the ability of the American public to see through the manipulation by media. This is not 2015.
We are now in an era where institutional biases have been in the public spotlight for almost a decade. The gaslighting no longer carries the same impact or value. Unfortunately, politicians in a bubble are usually the last people to understand where the American public stand on any issue.
This is also a dangerous time. The most dangerous time in the lifecycle of any victim is that moment when the abuser realizes all of the prior behavioral control mechanisms no longer work.
Think Poland circa 1985, We The People have been in an abusive relationship with govt; President Donald Trump has led people to the streets and now a significant majority fully understand the scale of our assembly.
Thanks in part to the COVID-19 overreach, the govt (mostly DHS) is left controlling social media platforms that have lost their ability to constrain the free expression narrative. Alternate communication networks are now plentiful; hence we see the U.S govt and Intelligence Community trying desperately to control Telegram, TikTok, Rumble and other venues.
