Widow of Hero Firefighter Who Was Killed at Trump Rally Declined Call From Biden

 

“Get down!”

These were the last words of volunteer firefighter and father-of-two Corey Comperatore as he protected his family from a sniper who targeted former President Donald Trump, his grieving widow told The Post.

“He’s my hero,” Helen Comperatore said from her home in Sarver, Pennsylvania, on Monday. in an exclusive interview by the NY Post, “He just said, ‘get down!’ That was the last thing he said.”

Helen mentioned that President Joe Biden attempted to call to offer condolences after the incident, but she declined the call.

“I didn’t talk to Biden. I didn’t want to talk to him,” Helen Comperatore stated. “My husband was a devout Republican, and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.”

Corey Comperatore, 50, a former chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company, was with his family at Trump’s rally in nearby Butler on Saturday when sniper Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire. The sniper grazed the former president, wounded two others, and killed Comperatore.

Helen Comperatore shared that the childhood sweethearts were about to celebrate their 29th wedding anniversary when the family decided to attend the rally to support their candidate.

“Me and the kids were all there as a family,” she said. “He was just excited. It was going to be a nice day with the family.”

“It was a bad day,” she added.

“He was a very loving husband,” she said.

Helen expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support she has received since the tragedy. A GoFundMe campaign set up by her family has raised $990,000.

“I don’t have any ill-will towards Joe Biden,” she said. “I’m not one of those people that gets involved in politics. I support Trump; that’s who I’m voting for, but I don’t have ill-will towards Biden.

“He didn’t do anything to my husband. A 20-year-old despicable kid did.”

Judge Dismisses Trump Classified Documents Case

 The federal judge presiding over the classified documents case of former President Donald Trump in Florida has dismissed the prosecution because of concerns over the appointment of the prosecutor who brought the case.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon granted the defense motion to dismiss the case on Monday, voiding a prosecution that at the time it was brought was seen as the most perilous of the multiple legal threats Trump faced.

Lawyers for Trump had argued that special counsel Jack Smith was illicitly appointed in violation of the Constitution’s Appointments Clause and that his office was improperly funded by the Justice Department.

Smith’s team had vigorously contested the argument during hearings before Cannon last month.

A spokesman for the Smith team did not immediately return a request seeking comment, and the Trump team did not immediately have a comment.

Elon Musk Commits $45 Million Monthly to New Pro-Trump Super PAC

Elon Musk has announced plans to commit approximately $45 million a month to a new super political action committee supporting former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, according to sources familiar with the matter. This significant financial commitment underscores Musk’s influential role in shaping the political landscape.

The new group, called America PAC, is attracting other high-profile backers as well. Among them are Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir Technologies, and the Winklevoss twins, known for their involvement in the cryptocurrency and technology sectors. Their participation highlights the diverse range of support within the tech community.

In addition to these tech moguls, the PAC is also backed by notable figures from other industries. Former U.S. ambassador to Canada Kelly Craft and her husband, Joe Craft, are lending their support. Joe Craft is the CEO of Alliance Resource Partners, a leading coal producer, adding a significant industrial dimension to the group’s backing

.Deliberately Ignored??? ”Witnesses Desperately Alerted Police to Rooftop Sniper Before Attempted Trump Assassination

Assassin Crawling on Roof

 Witnesses desperately tried to alert police about a sniper armed with a rifle who was crawling on a roof just moments before gunfire erupted at the Trump rally on Saturday.

“You could clearly see him with a rifle,” a man wearing a MAGA 2020 hat told BBC News. “We were pointing at him. The police were down there running around on the ground.

“We were like, ‘Hey, man, there’s a guy on the roof with a rifle.’ And the police were like, ‘Huh?’ They didn’t know what was going on.”

The witness claimed that he and his friends attempted to warn the police for several minutes as Secret Service members observed but chose not to take action until between five and eight shots were fired, which he said “100%” originated from the man with the rifle.

“He was up there for a couple of minutes, absolutely at least three or four minutes. We were pointing at him for the Secret Service, who were looking at us from the top of the barn. They were watching us the whole time.”

 

Unveiling the Trump Assassination Attempt the ID of Thomas Matthew Crooks

 

Remarkable footage shows the reaction of U.S. Secret Service counter-snipers who eliminated the attacker—on a nearby roof— just as Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania.

In a startling and tragic event, the political landscape of the United States was rocked by an assassination attempt on Saturday on former President Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. 

The shooter, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, was swiftly neutralized by law enforcement moments after he opened fire, according to the information provided in a report on the USA TODAY web site.  This incident has triggered an extensive investigation by the FBI and other federal agencies, as the nation grapples with the implications of such a brazen act of violence.

The FBI issued a statement confirming Crooks’ identity: “The FBI has identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the subject involved in the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump on July 13, in Butler, Pennsylvania. This remains an active and ongoing investigation, and anyone with information that may assist with the investigation is encouraged to submit photos or videos online at FBI.gov/butler or call 1-800-CALL-FBI.”

DemonRats Tried To Strip Trump’s Secret Service Protections Just Months Before

 

Secret Service agents shielded Donald Trump with their own bodies after a shooter opened fire on the former president during a Pennsylvania campaign rally Saturday. But if a group of powerful Democrats had their way, those Secret Service agents wouldn’t have been there on Saturday.

House Committee on Homeland Security ranking member Bennie Thompson (D., Miss.) moved in April to terminate Trump’s Secret Service protection in anticipation of his conviction in his Manhattan hush money case. Thompson and a group of seven other Democrats introduced the DISGRACED Former Protectees Act in April, a law that would terminate Secret Service protection for former presidents convicted and sentenced for a felony.

Trump was originally scheduled to be sentenced in the case on July 11—two days before the Secret Service sprung to action as bullets came inches away from ending the former president’s life at Saturday’s campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Thompson moved to strip Trump of his Secret Service protection as President Joe Biden has led Democrats in deploying increasingly apocalyptic rhetoric on the campaign trail casting Trump as an existential threat to America who must be stopped.

Biden left little room for the imagination during a June 28 campaign rally. “Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation,” he said. “He is a threat to our freedom. He is a threat to our democracy. He’s literally a threat for everything America stands for.”

Biden ratcheted up the heat further during a July 8 call with Democratic donors, saying, “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.” And his campaign has flooded the airwaves with television ads saying doom will befall America if Trump is reelected.

“America itself is at stake,” Biden said in a July 5 campaign ad.

The Biden campaign told reporters shortly after the assassination attempt it was working to pull all its television ads from the airwaves “as quickly as possible.”

Thompson stood by his efforts to strip Trump of his Secret Service detail after Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R.) issued a now-prophetic June 2 post on X questioning if the Democrat wanted to make an assassination attempt against the former president’s life more likely.

“Tate Reeves says I owe Mississippians an apology for H.R. 8081, to terminate United States Secret Service protection for felons,” Thompson responded on June 5. “In reality, you owe all 200,000+ Mississippians an apology for not expanding Medicaid. Your actions are selfish!”

Thompson sang a different tune after the attempt against Trump’s life on Saturday.

“I am grateful for law enforcement’s fast response to this incident,” Thompson said. “I am glad the former President is safe, and my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved.”

The shooter has not been identified as of publication of this article. The Secret Service said in a statement the suspect fired multiple shots at Trump from an elevated position outside the rally venue.

“US Secret Service personnel neutralized the shooter, who is now deceased,” the service said, adding that one spectator was killed and two others were critically injured.

The Secret Service’s response to Saturday’s shooting has also come under scrutiny. Rep. Ritchie Torres (D., N.Y.), who in May said Trump’s first term “was not only dangerous but also deadly” for his constituents, demanded an investigation into the Secret Service’s response to Saturday’s shooting.

“The federal government must constantly learn from security failures in order to avoid repeating them—especially when those failures have implications for the Nation,” Torres said.

Time for New Thinking in the Charedi World

by Yehuda Leonard Oppenheimer

In an essay published a few months ago, I described the growing tension between the hareidi and non-haredi (secular and national religious) public. I contended that the hareidi community must acknowledge that the events of October 7 have dramatically transformed Israeli society and significantly affected the interactions between the haredim and other societal groups, as the status quo will no longer stand.

If you have been following the news, you know that all my predictions have come true. The Supreme Court has ordered the government to cut funding to all yeshivos and kollels whose students do not serve in the army. The battle lines have been sharply drawn: the overwhelming majority of the Israeli public is no longer willing to put up with the mass exemption of all haredi young men from the army. With mounting casualties and endless amounts of reserve duty that miluimnikim are forced to serve, the army faces a large shortage of manpower, severely impacting businesses and families. They also see the massive growth of the now more than a million haredim. They are worried about future demographics in which a huge percentage of the population refuses to shoulder their national responsibilities.

Sadly, the haredi rabbinic leadership sees it as a religious imperative of the highest order to resist any change regarding national service, even for those (estimated at 35%) who are not in yeshiva and not learning. Efforts to create collaborative systems with the army in which haredi standards of tznius, limud haTorah, tefillah, Mehadrin food, and other needs are rejected out of hand (although there are a few small successful programs, notably Yeshiva Derech Etz Chaim, the first hareidi Hesder Yeshiva).

 

Watch: Biden refers to VP Harris as 'Vice President Trump' and to Zelenski as "Putin"

 

Crazed Joe Biden made his second gaffe of the day on Thursday evening, referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as "Vice President Trump" during a press conference in Washington.

Biden was asked whether the Vice President could beat Trump in a general election.

"Look, I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president if I thought she was not qualified to be president, so let's start there," Biden replied.

The President did not correct himself like he did earlier in the day when he mistakenly called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "President Putin."

Asked about Harris and whether she's qualified to take over as President, Biden described her as a "first-rate person."

"First of all, the way she’s handled the issue of freedom of women’s bodies, to have control over their bodies. Secondly, her ability to handle almost any issue on the board, this was a hell of a prosecutor, a first-rate person, and in the Senate, she was really good," he said.

"I wouldn’t have picked her unless I thought she was qualified to be president. From the very beginning, I made no bones about that. She is qualified to be president. That’s why I picked her," he added.

Nevertheless, Biden stressed that he plans to remain in the race despite calls on him to withdraw following his poor showing at the debate against Trump. He said that he is in to complete the job he started.

Biden denied reports that he goes to bed early and limits his schedule. Last week, sources told NBC News that Biden suggested to Democratic governors that he may limit evening events after 8:00 p.m. so he can get more sleep.

"That’s not true," Biden said on Thursday, adding, "Look, what I said was, instead of my every day starting at 7 and going to bed at midnight, it’d be smarter for me to pace myself a little more."

Biden also called the debate "a mistake" and said his schedule has been "full-bore" since the debate.

Asked about whether his travel next week will impact his decision to stay in the race, Biden stressed, "I’m determined on running."

"I’m going out in the areas where you think we can win, where we can persuade people to move our way," Biden added.

Asked about whether he should take another neurological exam, Biden replied, "I’ve taken three significant and intense neurological exams ... as recently as February, and they say I’m in good shape."

He defended his neurological health, saying the decisions he makes every day are evidence that he's healthy. "I’m tested every single day on my neurological capacity. Decisions I make every day."

Biden has faced calls to withdraw from the race since his poor showing at the debate against Trump. On Thursday, Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL) became the 11th House Democrat to publicly call on US President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 race, saying in a statement that it is “time to pass the torch”.

Sen. Peter Welch (VT) is the only Democratic senator to make the same call, having done so on Wednesday.

Also on Wednesday, Axios reported that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is privately signaling to donors that he's open to a Democratic presidential ticket that isn't led by Biden.

Schumer later issued a statement in which he said, "As I have made clear repeatedly, publicly and privately, I support President Biden and remain committed to ensuring Donald Trump is defeated in November."

Three-Quarters of Jews in Europe Hide Their Identity

According to a troubling new survey, three-quarters of Europe’s Jewish community hide their identities out of fear. The survey, conducted by an EU rights agency, shows that Jews on the continent are in the midst of a “rising tide of anti-Semitism”.

They are concealing their Jewish identity out of fear of being harassed or attacked by anti-Semites, mostly due to increased tensions over the war in Gaza.

Across Europe, 76% said they hid their Jewish identity “at least occasionally” while 34% said they took care to avoid Jewish events or places as they did not feel “safe” there.

In France, 74 per cent said they felt the ongoing Gaza war affected their sense of security.

Overall, 80% said they felt anti-Semitism had worsened in recent years and that negative stereotypes or conspiracy theories about Jews were a growing concern, such as claims they were “holding power and control over finance, media, politics or [the] economy”.

Sirpa Rautio, director of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), warned that the “spillover effect of the conflict in the Middle East is eroding hard-fought-for progress”.

She added that “Jews are more frightened than ever before” and that growing anti-Semitism was also at risk of disrupting the EU’s first-ever strategy for addressing the issue.

FRA’s consultation with national and European Jewish umbrella organizations in early 2024 shows a dramatic surge [in anti-Semitic attacks],” Ms Rautio said.

The agency’s study, which compiled data from 12 Jewish organizations, found that 96 per cent of European Jews had encountered anti-Semitism in 2023.

Pro-Hamas Goy Anti-Israel Dresses as Chareidie Eats McDonalds Hamburger

 A pro-Hamas protester dressed as an Orthodox Jew was spotted near Washington DC  eating at a McDonald’s restaurant. Making the scene more disturbing and bizarre, the man was wearing full “ultra-orthodox” garb, including a large velvet kippah and some sort of tallis (shawl) over his shirt. He appeared to have a Palestinian flag as well.

According to the Twitter account that published the photos, the man was taking a break from a nearby anti-Israel protest on Wednesday.

Although the man was a non-Jew, this is an extremely significant story, as it underscores the fact that non-Jews and irreligious Jews are posing as ‘Charedi’ anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian protesters, attempting to shed negative light on Orthodox Jews.

It is possible that these actors are being paid to dress up like Jews, or perhaps they are simply trying to stir up trouble. Either way, they are creating a threat to both religious and non-religious Jews, making it appear that religious Jews oppose the existence of Israel.

The reality is, that religious Jews across the spectrum are united in their support of Israel and condemnation of terror. Anyone who claims to be “religious”, yet protests in favor of Hamas and against the Israeli government, is actually a self-hating Jew.

In November, antisemite Candace Owens invoked a group of supposedly ultra-orthodox Jews to bolster her argument that being anti-Israel does not necessarily mean someone is an antisemite.

'Vile' Candace Owens Slammed as 'Unintelligent' and 'Hateful' After She Suggests Nazi Twin Experiments Were 'Bizarre Propaganda

 Candace Owens faced backlash after theorizing that some of the horrific experiments conducted on Jewish children during the Holocaust may be nothing more than propaganda.

"Some of the stories, by the way, sound completely absurd," she said in a clip shared to social media. "The idea they just cut a human up and sewed them back together. Why would you do that?"

"Literally, even if you're the most evil person in the world, that's a tremendous waste of time and supplies," she continued. "That just sounds like bizarre propaganda."

She appeared to be referring to the many tortures committed by Josef Mengele, who had a twisted fascination with twins. He was known for experimenting on them through unsafe blood transfusions, infecting them with diseases and even amputating completely healthy limbs.

Critics flooded X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their horror at Owens' nonchalance while discussing the topic.

"Antisemite Candace Owens insists that the Holocaust and Mengele’s self-documented twin experiments are propaganda," one user wrote, and another penned, "Not only is she hateful but also extremely unintelligent."

A third person penned, "This is appallingly [sic] and apparently she has not any experience with those who suffered during the Holocaust!!" while a fourth added, "She is a very vile person." "I would have never of guessed she had the ability to sink this low," another X user said. "The fact she thinks it's 'absurd' that the Nazis carried out experiments on people just highlights her deranged ignorance and denial."

This is not the first time the conservative commentator has been accused of spreading false information — particularly in regards to Israel and the Jewish community. In November 2023, Owens was called out for claiming that Muslims who resided in Jerusalem were only allowed to live in a specific part of the city during a sit-down with Jewish comic Ami Kozak.

"When people call it [Israel] this bastion of freedom, or it’s just like America, that’s not the sense that I had when I was there," she said. "I grew up in my grandparents’ house, my grandfather grew up in a segregated South, and so when I’m walking through Jerusalem, and you see, and they say ‘these are the Muslim quarters, this is where the Muslims are allowed to live,’ that doesn’t feel like a bastion of freedom to me."

Kozak appeared confused by her comment and quickly corrected her.

"I think it’s that there’s an Armenian Quarter, it’s not saying the Armenians can only live here," he explained. "It’s that there are communities just like there’s a Jewish community in Jersey here and there’s a Muslim community in here. I don’t think — to my understanding, it’s not restrictions within Israel proper."
