The Egyptian government may have given $10 million to Donald Trump in 2017, violating U.S. law—but the investigation into the payment was squashed by Attorney General William Barr. The Washington Post reports, citing unnamed sources, that an investigation began in 2017 that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi was seeking to give Trump $10 million to boost his 2016 election campaign. Federal investigators discovered in 2019 that, only five days before Trump was sworn into office, nearly $10 million in cash was withdrawn on behalf of an organization linked to Egyptian intelligence. In the U.S., receiving funds from overseas is...

The man who officials say tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump was a registered member of the Republican Party. Thomas Matthew Crooks shot Trump in the ear while speaking at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday. The 20-year-old gunman also fatally shot a rally attendee. Crooks used a rifle while perched on a roof more than 100 yards from where Trump was speaking.

(The Center Square) – Nine Democrats in the U.S. House sought to strip former President Donald Trump of his Secret Service detail just months before an assassination attempt was made against him on Saturday.
                After Trump survived the shooting, one of their staffers reportedly said in a Facebook post the shooter needed shooting lessons so he wouldn’t “miss the next time.” The post has since been deleted and the staffer has been fired.

 Marjorie Taylor Greene is facing calls to resign on social media after she quickly blamed Democrats for the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, saying Republicans are in a “battle” against the “party of pedophiles.”Greene has been characteristically outspoken after a gunman identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on a Trump rally in rural Pennsylvania on Saturday evening, striking the president’s ear just minutes into his speech. The Georgia Republican congresswoman baselessly alleged there’s a conspiracy afoot, insisting “Democrats wanted this to happen” and have “wanted Trump gone for years and they’re prepared to do anything...

Most people are guilty of doing it at least once in their lives, many people do it by accident, some do it because they find it fun, and others do it for reasons like honoring loved ones. Regardless of the situation, just about everyone has released a balloon. The difference is that intentionally releasing balloons is now illegal by House Bill 321’s standards.

The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has again blocked a Biden Administration plan to forgive some borrowers’ student loan debt. A Friday evening ruling from the court enjoined its previous ruling, barring the “United States Secretary of Education from implementing a plan to forgive approximately $475 billion in federal student loan debt,” called SAVE. The court previously issued an administrative stay to pause SAVE on July 19, but the court said the “Government continues to forgive loans for borrowers enrolled in SAVE,” according to NPR. But, on Friday, the court upped the ante, blocking the program altogether by writing: “this injunction will remain in effect until further order of this court or the Supreme Court of the United States. The administrative stay is hereby superseded.” The decision was delivered by two Trump appointees, Judges Ralph Erickson and L. Steven Grasz, and a Bush appointed judge named Raymond Gruender.

Donald Trump’s extremely brief foray into “unity” during his speech at last week’s Republican National Convention is, perhaps unsurprisingly, no longer. “Somebody please explain to Rep. James Clyburn, not the brightest bulb in the House, that I am beating the Biden/Harris Prosecutors, like Deranged Jack Smith, whose case against me in Florida, ‘the biggest of them all’ according to the Radical Left Lunatics, was just ‘thrown out’ as being Unconstitutional,” the twice-impeached former president posted Monday afternoon on Truth Social. “Now it is my time to sue them for illegally breaking into, and raiding, Mar-a-Lago. All of these Biden/Harris cases against me are a Weaponization of Justice against their Political Opponent, Me — Strictly Third World Country. MAGA2024!”
