- Why were the police CLEARING Trump supporters from the area of the AGR building in Butler, PA? And why did they keep Trump on stage KNOWING there was an imminent threat? EVERYBODY in the area knew for SEVERAL MINUTES. This video is extremely telling. (video)
- #BREAKING: Leaked text messages reveal Trump Rally counter snipers were aware of sh**ter Thomas Crooks up to 90 MINUTES before the sh**ting. This just gets more and more infuriating. The sniper even sent a text along with photos saying “I did see him with a range finder looking towards stage. FYI.” YET THEY CONTINUED TO ALLOW HIM TO GET INTO POSITION AND FIRE? How did literally EVERYTHING coincidentally go wrong all at the same time?

- BREAKING: Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares announces his office is looking into allegations of fraudulent donations to ActBlue, a Democrat political action committee. The announcement comes after alarming allegations of fraud surfaced online. One example was unveiled by @NoVA_Campaigns where a 79-year-old woman had allegedly made 22,619 donations to Democrats for $839,466. The woman, Kerry Alberti, lives in the Virginia suburbs and rents an apartment for less than $2000 a month. "Utter fraud (ID theft) via ActBlue," the account said. "My office is aware of these allegations and rest assured, we are looking into it," Miyares announced.

SKirsch.com:
- Using the MGH numbers with our own VAERS queries, we have 247 cases per million doses from the MGH study divided by 5.97 cases per million doses from VAERS. 247/5.97 = 41. This suggests that the VAERS under-reporting factor (URF) is 41X.
