Gov Sarah Huckabee Sanders Brings the House Down by Impassioned Speech at RNC ...Mentions G-d Many Times
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders delivered a fervent speech at the RNC, beginning by addressing the assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a recent rally.
“Not even an assassin’s bullet could stop him,” Sanders declared. “God Almighty intervened because we are one nation under God, and He certainly wasn’t finished with Donald Trump.”
Sanders then sparked laughter with a quip about President Biden’s age: “I got the chance to take my 4-year-old son Huck to ‘Bring Your Kid To Work Day,’ much like Jill now drags Joe to ‘Bring Your Husband To Work Day.'”
She continued by praising Trump’s presidency, under which she served as press secretary until 2019.
“President Trump did the job that Kamala won’t and Joe Biden simply can’t,” Sanders asserted.

Elimelech Stern Viznitzer Spy from Beit Shemesh, has been officially charged
Three suspects were arrested for carrying out missions for Iranian intelligence agencies, and an indictment has been filed against one of them – a resident of Beit Shemesh.
The Shin Bet and the National Unit for International Investigations in Lahav 433 shared the news this morning that three Israelis were arrested on suspicion of carrying out security activities under the guidance of Iranian intelligence agencies. An indictment has now been filed against one of the citizens, accusing him of contact with a foreign agent.
The investigation revealed that one of the suspects, E.S, a 21-year-old Israeli citizen from Beit Shemesh, was in contact via the Telegram app with a profile named "ANNA ELENA." ES was asked to carry out various tasks in Israel, including posting advertisements in Tel Aviv, hiding money at different locations in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, delivering packages containing a severed head from an animal or doll, together with a knife and threatening messages, with the aim of leaving them at the homes of Israeli citizens, setting forest fires, and more.
The investigation revealed that ES agreed to perform the tasks, except for murder and setting forest fires. He then recruited two additional Israeli citizens, who performed some of the tasks in exchange for financial compensation. For carrying out the tasks, ES was paid in cryptocurrency.
In the chats, the Iranians wrote: "We need a brave man. Are you brave for a lot of money? We have two tasks for you. For one of them you will receive a bonus of 7,000 dollars and for the other 350 dollars."
E.S expressed interest in the first mission and replied: "Tell me about the $7,000 mission." "Okay," replied the Iranian "You have to buy two 20-liter gallons at a gas station."
Today, the Jerusalem District Attorney's Office submitted an indictment against ES to the Jerusalem District Court, charging him with the offense of contact with a foreign agent The two other citizens he recruited were interrogated and released from detention at the end of their interrogation, pending a decision on their case.
Contacting Israeli citizens through social media under false pretenses is a known operational method of Iranian intelligence agencies. Using social media to recruit Israelis for missions, which may appear ostensibly innocent, provides a convenient and accessible platform for substantial harm to national security.
In recent months, numerous fake profiles used by Iranian security agents have been identified and monitored, and significant information has been collected about the entities behind their operation.
These contacts were made through social media platforms and websites offering paid casual jobs, with activity conducted across social networks including Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp, Facebook, and Twitter (X), presenting false profiles to make the initial contact with Israeli citizens. The posts were made in various languages, including Hebrew and English.
Additionally, widespread text messages with similar cover were identified, containing links to a Telegram channel with a reference to the Iranian international security agency's website. A significant number of Israelis who received these suspicious contacts refrained from responding and some reported them to relevant authorities.
A senior official in the intelligence system said "In this complex period, in which the digital space is being used for the purposes of intimidation, conveying messages or promoting terrorist activity under the guise of an innocent activity, we recommend the public to be vigilant regarding inquiries from unknown parties, and to avoid providing personal details and opening links from unidentified sources."
Sniper Team was inside building where Trump shooter climbed on the roof and opened fire
A local police counter-sniper team was stationed inside the building where attempted assassin Thomas Crooks climbed on the roof and fired on Donald Trump, law enforcement sources told The Post.
The building — the AGR International Inc. factory in Butler, Pennsylvania — was being used by local police as a “watch post” for snipers to scan for threats as the former president spoke onstage only 130 yards away, according to sources.
Cops were inside, but not on the roof during the shooting, sources said.
Crooks was able to scale the building unchallenged before firing off eight shots with an AR-style assault rifle, grazing Trump in the ear, killing one Trump supporter and wounding two others.
The revelation comes as local outlet WPXI reported the Crooks was spotted on the building 26 minutes before he opened fire — with one cop from the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit even taking a photo of the gunman before the shooting.
Law enforcement sources said it was not clear as of Monday night whether any of the local officers — who were tasked with securing the perimeter outside the Butler County Farm Show grounds — were able to warn Secret Service agents about the gunman.
An officer from the Butler Township Police climbed on a fellow officer’s shoulders to check out the roof of the building moments before the shooting — but backed away after Crooks pointed his rifle at him.
A Butler City police dispatcher told The Post that the Pennsylvania State Police were charged with securing the AGR grounds.
The state police did not respond to a request for comment on Monday.
A variety of local police agencies were tasked with securing the area outside of the Butler Farm Show grounds where Trump spoke — with the Secret Service representative Anthony Gugliemi pointing out that local agencies were responsible for the area where the shooter opened fire.
Law enforcement sources said the building was swept by cops before the event and that the local sniper team used the large manufacturing site as a staging and lookout post — but did not climb on the roof for the event — possibly over concerns that it would interfere with the Secret Service snipers.
Neighbors next to the farm show grounds previously told The Post they were never contacted by law enforcement to set up security in days preceding the event, and photos from the area showed gates into the facility where the shooter sneaked in merely zip-tied shut.
“Nobody contacted me. Nobody. Nobody called me, nobody stopped here,” said Valerie Fennell, whose property abuts both the farm grounds and the AGR factory.
The state police previously said even though they are regularly called in to assist when politicians come to town, the Secret Service is ultimately in charge.
“Secret Service always has the lead on securing something like this,” State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens told reporters.
Footage from the rally appeared to show the Secret Service counter-sniper team who shot Crooks dead training their rifles on him well before he fired at the former president, though it is unclear if they had seen him.
Neither the Butler Township Police, Pennsylvania State Police, nor the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit responded to request for comment on Monday.
The Butler City Police said the AGR grounds were not under their jurisdiction.
Donald Trump says Ohio Sen. JD Vance will be his vice presidential pick.
He says on his Truth Social Network that, “After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio.”
The 39-year-old Vance rose to national fame with the 2016 publication of his memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy.” He was elected to the Senate in 2022 and has become one of the staunchest champions of the former president’s “Make America Great Again” agenda, particularly on trade, foreign policy and immigration.
But he is largely untested in national politics and is joining the Trump ticket at an extraordinary moment. An attempted assassination of Trump at a rally Saturday has shaken the campaign, bringing new attention to the nation’s coarse political rhetoric and reinforcing the importance of those who are one heartbeat away from the presidency.
Vance himself faced criticism in the wake of the shooting for a post on X that suggested President Joe Biden was to blame for the violence.
“The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs,” Vance wrote. “That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.”
Law enforcement has not yet specified a motivation for the shooting. Still, the pick is sure to energize Trump’s loyal base. Vance has become a fixture on the conservative media circuit and frequently spars with reporters on Capitol Hill, helping establish him as the kind of leader who could carry Trump’s mantle into the future, beginning with the next presidential election in 2028.
But the pick also means that two white men will now lead the Republican ticket at a time when Trump has sought to make inroads with Black and Latino voters.
In “Hillbilly Elegy,” Vance detailed life in Appalachian communities that drifted from a Democratic Party many residents found disconnected from their daily travails. While the book was a bestseller, it was also criticized for sometimes oversimplifying rural life and ignoring the role of racism in modern politics.
Vance’s fame grew in tandem with Trump’s unlikely rise from a reality television star to Republican presidential nominee and eventually president. During the early stages of Trump’s political career, Vance cast him as “a total fraud,” “a moral disaster” and “America’s Hitler.”
But like many Republicans who sought relevance in the Trump era, Vance eventually shifted his tone. He said he was proved wrong by Trump’s performance in office and evolved into one of his most steadfast defenders.
“I didn’t think he was going to be a good president,” Vance recently told Fox News Channel. “He was a great president. And it’s one of the reasons why I’m working so hard to make sure he gets a second term.”
Vance was rewarded for his turnaround during his bid for an open Senate seat in 2022, during which he landed Trump’s coveted endorsement and rode it to victory in a crowded Republican primary and a general election hard fought by Democrats. He is close to Trump’s son Donald Jr.
Vance is now a Trump loyalist who has challenged the legitimacy of criminal prosecutions and civil verdicts against him and questions the results of the 2020 election.
He told ABC News in February that, if he had been vice president on Jan. 6, 2021, he would have told states where Trump disputed Biden wins “that we needed to have multiple slates of electors, and I think the U.S. Congress should have fought over it from there.”
“That is the legitimate way to deal with an election that a lot of folks, including me, think had a lot of problems in 2020,” he said.
Many states adopted emergency measures four years ago to allow people to vote safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. But judges, election officials in both parties and Trump’s own attorney general have concluded there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.
The relationship between Vance and Trump has been symbiotic.
Vance’s book — subtitled “A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis” — was embraced for its insights into Trump’s appeal in middle America, where manufacturing job losses and the opioid crisis had driven many families like his into poverty, abuse and addiction.
The tale of Vance’s hardscrabble childhood in Middletown, Ohio, where he was born, and his familial eastern Kentucky hills region also captivated Hollywood. Ron Howard made it into a 2020 movie starring Amy Adams as Vance’s mother and Glenn Close as his beloved “Mamaw.”
With his grandmother’s encouragement, Vance went on to serve in the Marine Corps, including in Iraq, and to graduate from Ohio State University and Yale Law School. From there, he joined a Silicon Valley investment firm before returning to Ohio to launch a nonprofit that he said would aim to develop opioid addiction treatments that might be “scaled nationally.”
Ultimately, Our Ohio Renewal failed at that mission and was shuttered. During the 2022 campaign, then-U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, his Democratic rival, charged that the charity was little more than a front for Vance’s political ambitions. Ryan pointed to reports that the organization made payments to a Vance political adviser and conducted public opinion polling, even as its actual efforts to address addiction largely floundered. Vance denied the characterization.
As a senator, Vance has shown some willingness to work across the aisle. He and Ohio’s senior senator, Democrat Sherrod Brown, have teamed up on a number of issues important to the state, including fighting for funding for a $20 billion chip facility Intel is building in central Ohio and introducing rail safety legislation in response to the fiery derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
