As fans of MSNBC woke up on Monday morning, many no doubt waiting to be delivered the hottest takes from Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, they were instead greeted by generic news desk coverage. That’s because executives at the network made the call to pull “Morning Joe” off the air in the wake of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. The reason why is telling.

According to CNN, which reported the development, this wasn’t a case of routine preemption. After all, “Morning Joe” has been left intact through essentially every other breaking news story since its inception. Instead, the decision came from a much darker place: MSNBC couldn’t trust that Joe, Mika, and its stable of lunatics wouldn’t compare Trump to Hitler again.

A person familiar with the matter told CNN that the decision was made to avoid a scenario in which one of the show’s stable of two dozen-plus guests might make an inappropriate comment on live television that could be used to assail the program and network as a whole. Given the breaking news nature of the story, the person said, it made more sense to continue airing rolling breaking news coverage in the fraught political moment.

Alex Berenson, author of the book, “Pandemia”, said the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump is the biggest security “failure since 9-11.”

“LOL dummy it was the biggest failure since 9/11. Or maybe the Kennedy assassination,” Berenson posted on X, in response to a post saying the assassination attempt was the biggest security failure since January 6, 2021.

“I am so tired with lefty media pretending Jan. 6 was a near-coup. It sucked, it was horrible and embarrassing, but it was closer to a Capitol tour gone wrong for 98% of the ‘insurrectionists,’” posted Berenson.

According to a new report by NBC News, the Secret Service identified the rooftop next to Trump’s event in Butler, Pennsylvania as a security vulnerability just days before the rally.

The agents failed to secure the building, allowing a man with a rifle to climb onto the roof, position his scope, and fire several shots at President Trump.

A bullet grazed Trump’s right ear, while two rally attendees were wounded. One Trump supporter was fatally shot.

Biden’s FBI has announced that they believe the would-be assassin at former President Trump’s Pennsylvania rally on Saturday acted alone.

The statement comes despite the bureau’s inability to access data from the suspect’s cell phone, which has been sent to Quantico for further examination.

Kevin Rojek, FBI Special Agent in Charge Pittsburgh, said that the information currently available to the bureau suggests that there is no further public safety concern. However, he also noted that the investigation is still in its early stages, according to Fox News.

“We have not identified an ideology associated with the subject, but I want to remind everyone that we’re still very early in this investigation,” Rojek said during a press conference on Sunday.

BETHEL PARK, Pa. — The FBI said Sunday that investigators have not yet identified any ideology fueling the gunman who fired at former president Donald Trump at a packed campaign rally, and they believe he carried out the horrifying assassination attempt on his own.

The gunman was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, of Bethel Park, a strong math student in high school who was working as a nursing home employee.

Seconds after he opened fire from a rooftop outside the rally’s security perimeter Saturday evening, using an AR-style rifle that was legally purchased by his father, he was fatally shot by the Secret Service, authorities said.

“At this time, the information that we have indicates that the shooter acted alone and that there are currently no public safety concerns,” FBI special agent in charge Kevin Rojek said in a telephone briefing. “At present we have not identified an ideology associated with the subject, but I want to remind everyone that we’re still very early in this investigation.”

A new poll shows Vice President Kamala Harris has a better shot than President Joe Biden at defeating Donald Trump in the 2024 election. The survey, conducted by the Democratic firm Bendixen & Amandi, shows Biden slightly behind Trump, 42 to 43 per cent, with Harris inching past the former president 42 to 41 per cent.

The eyes of the world are on Biden as he hosts the Nato summit in Washington DC amid concerns about his fitness to contest the election and serve another term in office and fresh calls for him to quit the 2024 race.

Meanwhile, Trump’s recent denial that he knows anything about Project 2025, a 900-page proposal by the Heritage Foundation think-tank for a radical reconfiguring of the US federal government to suit hard-line conservatives, has been ridiculed by former adviser to Mike Pence, Olivia Troye, who named ex-Trump administration figures involved and said she sat in on those policy meetings.

President Joe Biden had the perfect answer for why former President Donald Trump is “ranting on Truth Social at 3 in the morning,” saying Trump has a “guilty conscience” in a video showing him answering questions that “Trump can’t.”

Biden’s words came weeks after Trump became the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes. A New York jury last month found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to corruptly influence the 2016 election. His sentencing is set for July 11.

In a clever campaign video dropped on Wednesday, Biden was asked a series of this or that questions, which are no-brainers for Biden but would be tough calls for Trump.

Milwaukee Democratic Mayor Cavalier Johnson defended his city, which is set to host the Republican National Convention this summer, after former President Donald Trump called the city “horrible” in a closed-door meeting with House Republicans earlier Thursday.

“This is a great place, and the former president and every Republican who’ll have the chance to come to our great city, they’ll see that when they’re here on the ground in Milwaukee for the convention,” Johnson told CNN’s Laura Coates Thursday night.

Johnson added that insulting the home of tens of thousands of Republican voters in Wisconsin, a swing state, could be politically costly for the former president as he seeks to return to the White House.

A member of the House Freedom Caucus is taking an unprecedented step to endorse the primary challenger fighting to unseat the ultra conservative group’s chair.

Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) is endorsing John McGuire, a state senator who is in a highly watched race against Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.), McGuire’s campaign first shared with POLITICO.

“I love this country with a soldier’s passion. I’ve served in Congress since 2016, and we need reinforcements to help Make America Great Again. I’m happy to join President Trump by supporting and endorsing John McGuire for Congress,” Davidson said in a statement, describing McGuire as conservative, effective and someone who will drain the swamp.

He added: “I look forward to serving with him in the 119th Congress to support President Trump and the America First agenda. Drain the swamp!”

NEW ROCHELLE, New York — The New York Democrat running to unseat Rep. Jamaal Bowman has an unusual double advantage against the incumbent: local political clout and the backing of a national pro-Israel group.

And it’s Westchester County Executive George Latimer’s ties at home — even more so than his position on the war in Gaza — that could deny the Squad member a third term.

Latimer has picked up endorsements from fellow local leaders week after week — including the mayor and three City Council members in Yonkers, where Bowman lives. And while just 10 percent of Bowman’s campaign contributions come from his neighbors, more than half of Latimer’s donations come from within the district.

Latimer may not have any national name recognition compared to Bowman — who has built his reputation in Congress as a left-wing agitator for sweeping change nationwide — but he enjoys a different kind of celebrity. He’s the Cher of Westchester County, known as just “George” to many in the suburban enclave north of New York City thanks to his 35 years in state and local government.

Donald Trump has hit back at billionaire Illinois governor JB Pritzker, who branded him a ‘felon’ in an interview earlier this week as the pair’s war of words escalates

Donald Trump has unleashed a scathing attack on governor JB Pritzker on Sunday, calling him “rotund,” “sloppy” and “pathetic” after the Illinois governor labeled the ex-president a “felon” earlier in the week.

The billionaire Democrat, who holds the title of America’s wealthiest elected official, makes no effort to conceal his contempt for the 77-year-old presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Nineteen minutes after Trump’s conviction on all 34 felony counts in his criminal hush money trial last month, Pritzker denounced the former president as a racist, homophobe, and a con artist.

 

Pritzker, 59, is a loyal supporter of president Joe Biden and is driven to “fight to keep him in the White House,” thereby keeping Trump at bay, he wrote on X on Friday.

“I can’t mince words when it comes to talking about who Donald Trump is,” Pritzker told The New York Times on Wednesday. “It’s important, I think, for people to really refocus on the idea that: Do they really want a president who is a felon who faces jail time?”

 

Trump didn’t waste any time hitting back as their feud escalated, taking several low blows at Pritzker’s physical appearance, business achievements, and political acumen, reports the Mirror.

“Sloppy J.B. Pritzker, the Rotund Governor from the once great State of Illinois, who makes Chris Christie look like a male model,” Trump wrote, while also throwing shade at the Republican ex-governor of New Jersey in a fiery Truth Social tirade on Sunday.

 

Despite Pritzker’s estimated $3.5 billion fortune, as reported by Forbes, the former president alleged that his family “wanted him out of the business” – the global hotel chain, Hyatt – before he doubled down on his “pathetic” business acumen.

In recent years, Elon Musk appears to have gone from lightly flirting with politics to having a full-blown love affair with growing his influence in Washington.

As the presidential election inches closer and the billionaire businessman continues teasing the idea of a Trump endorsement, it’s becoming clear that Musk has a lot at stake depending on who next leads the country.

While Musk hasn’t publicly endorsed any candidate, Business Insider previously reported he bonded with fellow billionaires over a shared distrust of Democrats and privately discussed how best to defeat them in this year’s election.

According to a recent report from The Wall Street Journal, Musk has also talked with the Trump campaign about taking on a potential advisory role if the former president returns to the White House.

However much you hate the media, it’s not enough. The latest reminder comes courtesy of The Washington Post.

On Friday, Donald Trump’s birthday, the Post ran a predictable — but nonetheless despicable — piece of 2024 election propaganda titled, “Donald Trump, potential future oldest president, turns 78.”

“Age is just a number, the adage goes. For Donald Trump, that number just got bigger,” writes national political “reporter” Marianne LeVine, who adds that Trump’s age “has also drawn notice from some voters and experts on aging.”

Oh, experts you say? The Post and other media lapdogs love nothing more than laundering their opinions through self-styled “experts,” as we all saw with the Covid panic, Democrats’ republic-destroying lawfare, “cooling” inflation, forever wars, and more — including now apparently presidential fitness and “aging.” As for what the voters notices, let’s just say it diverges from the headline.

On Sunday, former President Trump targeted Illinois Democratic governor J.B. Pritzker, who has been considered a rising star in the Democratic Party but who has presided over the state while natives flee.

Pritzker was inaugurated as governor of the state in January 2019; between July 2021 and July 2022, over 142,000 people left Illinois. The only state that had a faster rate of population decline during that same time period was New York.

“Sloppy J.B. Pritzker, the Rotund Governor from the once great State of Illinois, who makes Chris Christie look like a male model, and whose family wanted him out of the business because he was so pathetic at helping them run it, has presided over the destruction and disintegration of Illinois at levels never seen before in any State. Crime is rampant and people are, sadly, fleeing Illinois. Unless a change is made at the Governor’s level, Illinois can never be Great Again,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Detroit — Former President Donald Trump warned of increases in illegal immigration, weakened global policy and a struggling economy under another Biden term as he courted both Black voters at a Detroit church and conservative stalwarts at a convention at Huntington Place.

The former president dinged the leader of United Auto Workers, Shawn Fain, as doing an “absolutely terrible job” and warned of environmentally-friendly emissions limits implemented under Biden.

“We can’t let these people destroy our country like this,” Trump said. “They’re going crazy.”

Christian approaches to political engagement often fall into one of two camps: ‘distinctive’ or ‘engaged’.

The ‘distinctives’ tend to be pessimistic about politics and say that the Church should stick to its priorities of evangelism and discipleship for eternity, rather than wasting energy in social action and politics in the present. But the Bible nowhere presents the Christian with such an either/or choice. Instead, it calls the Christian both to teach the gospel and love their neighbour.

The creation mandate of Genesis 1.26–28 to look after the earth still stands alongside Jesus’ great commission to his followers in Matthew 28.19 to make disciples of all nations. Paul commands the Galatian church to do good to all people, beginning with those in the Church. And when Paul summarises the purpose of the Bible in 2 Timothy 3.15–16, he writes that it is to make us wise for salvation in Christ Jesus and to equip the Christian for every good work. All this stewarding the earth, loving neighbour, doing good to all people cannot avoid involvement in politics.

LOS ANGELES – President Biden on Saturday night said he expects the winner of this year’s presidential election will likely have the chance to fill two vacancies on the Supreme Court – a decision he warned would be “one of the scariest parts” if his Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, is successful in his bid for a second term.

Biden made the remarks at a fundraiser that his campaign said raised a record $28 million. The event featured Hollywood stars like George Clooney and Julia Roberts, as well as former President Barack Obama.

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel moderated a conversation with Biden and Obama, and the two presidents talked about the impact that Trump had on issues like abortion rights by naming conservative justices to the Supreme Court.

A recent paper published by Harvard and Montana Technological University which speculates that an unidentified, technologically advanced population could possibly be living secretly among humans on Earth seems to be more of a “thought experiment” than an attempt to prove it so, a UFO expert said.

The team that wrote the paper hypothesized that sightings of UFOs, or UAP, unidentified anomalous phenomena, “may reflect activities of intelligent beings concealed in stealth here on Earth … and/or even walking among us.”

The beings could be disguising themselves as humans to blend in, and may have come from Earth’s future or might have descended from intelligent dinosaurs, the researchers said.

Summary and Key Points: In 2015, the French Rubis-class nuclear-powered attack submarine, Saphir, demonstrated its capabilities by “sinking” the USS Theodore Roosevelt, a U.S. Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, during a joint military drill in the North Atlantic.

-The Saphir, initially part of the friendly forces, switched to the adversarial team and managed to infiltrate the carrier’s defensive screen undetected.

-The Rubis-class, introduced in the early 1980s, is noted for its compact nuclear reactor and advanced weaponry, including torpedoes and Exocet missiles. Despite initial noise issues, the Rubis-class has undergone significant modernization to enhance its stealth and combat effectiveness.

BEIJING (AP) — A military history buff in China appears to have made an alarming discovery after picking up four discarded books for less than $1 at a neighborhood recycling station: They were confidential military documents.

The country’s Ministry of State Security told the story in a social media post on Thursday, praising the retired man for calling a hotline to report the incident. It identified him only by his family name, Zhang, and did not say what the documents were about.

“Mr. Zhang thought to himself that he had ‘bought’ the country’s military secrets and brought them home,” the post reads, “but if someone with ulterior motives were to buy them, the consequences would be unimaginable!”

The Doomsday Clock is still at 90 seconds to midnight, just as it was last year.

Experts just unveiled the Doomsday Clock for 2024 based on the threats faced around the world this year, and they’ve decided not to move it closer to midnight.

That means it is still at 90 seconds to midnight, as it was last year – which is the closest it has ever been to 12 o’clock since the clock was devised in 1947.

The symbolic clock is meant to show how close we are to a human-made global catastrophe, and midnight represents complete calamity.

Sweaty cows may not sound like the most exciting company, but in a warming world, researchers can’t get enough of them.

When cattle are too hot, they tend to stop eating, said Raluca Mateescu, University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) professor in the department of animal science. This affects the cattle’s health and growth and threatens the longevity of the food supply coming from that herd.

Climate change is making it more difficult to raise cattle — growth and reproduction are affected by heat — so it’s critical to breed cattle better adapted to a hotter and longer summer. Cows eliminate about 85% of their body heat via sweat, she said.

The FBI’s Dallas Division is asking for the public’s assistance to identify an unknown bank robber responsible for a bank robbery on June 6.

At approximately 2:10 p.m. on Thursday, June 6, the suspect robbed the First Convenience Bank branch located inside the Walmart on Anderson Boulevard in Fort Worth.

The robbery suspect had a small child seated in a shopping cart as he presented a note to the teller demanding cash. After obtaining the money, the suspect fled the location while carrying the child.

The robber is described as a white male, 35 to 45 years old, 5’7″ to 5’9″ with a thin build. He wore a baseball hat, black sunglasses, a multi-color “fishing shirt,” khaki-colored cargo shorts and “Hey Dude” shoes.

She claims Brauner was aware he had HPV but neglected to inform her before they had unprotected sex, resulting in “past and future medical expenses” and “mental and physical pain and suffering,” court documents state.

In certain instances, an individual can gain possession of your property if they meet specific requirements. The legal term for this is “adverse possession.”

As squatting incidents run rampant through certain communities across the country, Fox News Digital investigated how individuals can gain possession of private property under certain requirements, commonly known in the legal realm as “adverse possession.”

Adverse possession can go hand-in-hand with squatting issues, and is commonly referred to as “squatters’ rights.“

With stories of squatters popping up around the country, adverse possession has also been brought to light.

The mayor-elect of a small municipality near the crime-plagued Mexican resort city of Acapulco was assassinated early Monday, local prosecutors said — the latest in a series of attacks targeting politicians.

Salvador Villalba Flores — who was to take office in October in Copala, a town of about 4,000 residents about 80 miles southeast of Acapulco — was shot dead while traveling on a highway, prosecutors in Guerrero state said in a statement.

Prosecutors said that they had launched an investigation into the murder, but declined to provide further details.
