Task Force Details ‘Stunning Security Failures’ That Led To Attempted Trump Assassination In New Report

Published

on

The Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump released a 53-page report of its investigation into what it describes as “stunning security failures” that led to the deadly July 13 shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, that left Corey Comperatore dead and of three people injured, including Trump.

The report shows the Secret Service and local law enforcement were not communicating well and gave little thought to the neighboring property within view of the stage. The report also offers a detailed timeline of the shooter’s movements before he climbed onto an exterior air conditioner unit and hoisted himself onto the roof of the American Glass Research (AGR) building.

The task force is led by Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Penn., who serves the district that includes Butler. Preliminary findings are based on information from witnesses who testified at a task force hearing, a series of briefings from the Secret Service and FBI, and 23 voluntary, transcribed witness interviews of state and local law enforcement officials, plus thousands of pages of documents in response to requests to federal, state, and local agencies. Kelly also issued three subpoenas to obtain sensitive documents from local agencies in Pennsylvania.

The investigation found the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, spent about 20 minutes casing the Butler farm show complex grounds on July 7, about a week before the rally.

On the day of the rally, July 13, Crooks bought a ladder at Home Depot in Bethel Park around 9:30 a.m., then drove to Butler and stayed at the

FCC Commissioner: Edited CBS Harris Interview Should Probably Be Investigated

Published

on

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) member Nathan Simington said that CBS’s selective editing of its “60 Minutes” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris should likely be investigated in response to allegations of news distortion.

“Our precedent provides that the Commission may investigate an intentional, substantial, and material distortion of the news, where, as arguably here alleged, ‘outtakes’ from a news segment appear to substantiate genuine concerns around ‘splicing’ answers of an interviewee,” Simington said in a statement to The Federalist. “A complaint need not fully factually prove an allegation of news distortion; it need only raise a substantial and material question of fact.”

While Simington said that the FCC should take a cautious approach to looking into CBS’s apparent distortion of Harris’s answer, he also said that the commission should take the complaint seriously and that it likely means opening an inquiry.

“The Commission is not a roving arbiter of truth. We do not second-guess genuine editorial judgment. And if the exercise of good-faith editorial judgment is ultimately all that happened, then the Commission cannot and should not act to censor or otherwise ‘punish’ a licensee,” Simington said. “The application of our news distortion policy is intentionally narrowly-specified. But that does not mean that nothing a licensee does can ever trigger it. The Commission can and should take the complaint seriously. That might, and probably does, mean opening an inquiry.”

Simington’s statement came after an organization filed a complaint with the FCC, seeking to compel CBS to release a full video

WI State Bar Brings In Architect Of Abusive John Doe Probe To Talk Election Integrity

Published

on

As head of Wisconsin’s Government Accountability Board (GAB), Kevin Kennedy helped lead one of the more sinister, secret investigations of the century. Kennedy and his corrupt “good government” agency worked alongside highly partisan Democrat prosecutors in Milwaukee and Dane counties to conduct a years-long probe via a star chamber against then-Republican Gov. Scott Walker and his conservative allies. Activated under Wisconsin’s old John Doe law, prosecutors and government agents spied on their victims, terrorized them with pre-dawn, armed raids, and threatened them with hefty fines and jail time if they dared to say anything publicly about the investigations — including defending themselves from false accusations from anonymous “sources” in the stories GAB-friendly corporate media outlets pumped out. 

So it’s interesting that the State Bar of Wisconsin would host a continuing legal education event for attorneys on election integrity, the constitution and the rule of law featuring Kennedy — a government bureaucrat lifer who twisted election integrity, trampled on the constitution and smashed the rule of law through his central role in Wisconsin’s unconstitutional John Doe investigation.  

“Having Kevin Kennedy teaching the rule of law to a law class is like having Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas teach a class on securing the southern border,” Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., told The Federalist in a phone interview. 

Tiffany was a state senator in 2015 when he introduced a bill that ultimately reformed Wisconsin’s John Doe law, checking the use of secret political investigations. 

Perhaps the State Bar session featuring

When Did Google Search Become Totally Useless?

Published

on

When Google launched in the late 1990s, it quickly overtook the market for search engines. Its proprietary method of indexing led users to results they were actually looking for rather than producing the hodgepodge of results offered by other search engines of the time. Within just a few years, it was dominating the market. Today, it is a money-printing machine.

It’s also increasingly horrible at the core mission that produced such success. The company’s leadership may have realized early on that to dominate they needed to maximize the marketing angle of search, but over time that side of the business — the one that produces revenue — swallowed the informative results that drove the search engine’s success.

Now, Google’s true product, its users, are drowning in a sea of partisan slop and sponsored content rather than getting the results we’re looking for when we take to the World Wide Web. By doing so, Google is making it pointless for us to continue to allow ourselves to be the product.

Let’s say you have an artistic daughter who wants some oil paints for Christmas, but you’re unsure about which brand to buy or even what the definition of oil paint is. You head over to Google and type in “oil paint.” Is your first result a definition or even the Wikipedia page? Nope, it’s ads. You have to scroll to get to Wikipedia.

Similarly, you might find yourself hungry while on the road, so someone in the car
