    This from Al Jazeera English-

    State voter records show that Crooks was a registered Republican and the upcoming November 5 election would have been the first time Crooks had been old enough to vote in a presidential race.

    However, when he was 17 he made a $15 donation to ActBlue, a political action committee that raises money for left-leaning and Democratic politicians, according to a 2021 Federal Election Commission filing. The donation was earmarked for the Progressive Turnout Project, a national group that rallies Democrats to vote.

    Nigel Farage has been interviewed on GB news . He said if he’d lost Clacton he’d probably have gone to the US and maybe been at that rally .

    He said the latest attack on him – Farage – was last Wednesday – pint of beer – but he doesn’t ordinarily report on attacks not reported by the media ….

    Farage says he will now go to the US to support his friend – and – guess – go to the Republican Rally on Wednesday ?

    Now back to the footy …

    The government must impose harsh penalties for attacks on politicians. They don’t know if it’s a milkshake, a beer, or acid (see Jo Brand, the fat ugly unfunny ‘comedian’).

    But they won’t of course, until and unless their side become the recipients of such attacks.

    CNN hang your head in shame.

    Sky.Au calls them out,

    alongside the other media acting like drunken trolls inciting violence against a former president of the USA:

    Sky News host Gabriella Power has slammed CNN for its initial coverage of the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump.

    Ms Power said: “If you were following media outlets like CNN today, you would have thought Donald Trump had a fall”.

    A breaking CNN article included a headline which read: “Secret Service rushed Trump off stage after he falls at rally”.

    “Falls? It was an assassination attempt. He’s not Joe Biden,” Ms Power said.

    Ms Power said it was a “devastating day for America” and claimed there was likely to be growing support for the former president, following the attack.

    “Today CNN has shown itself to be totally deranged.”

    “Don’t let the FBI conduct this investigation ️️️️ have you not learned already.”

    “So disgusting. I applaud this news anchor for speaking what we are feeling . Very brave and honest coverage. Thank you.”

    “Why does a foreign news station have my complete respect? This station reports the “news” whereas ours dilutes and molds the narrative.”

    “CNN was saying it was still undetermined if the “shooter” had a gun. Let that sink in……..”

        All the shooter had to do was throw a Krispy Creme donut, and she’s likely out of action for 10 minutes .

    Cheap Russian Oil Fuels India’s Response to Ukraine War
    The West expected India to turn its back on Russia, but a look at the numbers shows that expectation was never realistic.
    https://thediplomat.com/2024/02/cheap-russian-oil-fuels-indias-response-to-ukraine-war/

    Since 2000, India has been the largest importer of Russian armaments, which was valued at $39.5 billion, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.

    Russia’s supply of armaments to India is critical for a country in one of the most militarized and politically volatile regions of the world. In comparison, India’s imports from the U.S. were almost $5 billion.

    “The member of the crowd killed in the assassination attempt on Donald Trump at his Pennsylvania rally has been identified.

    Corey Comperatore, the retired fire chief of Buffalo Township, was sitting behind the former president shot and killed by gunman 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.

    He died a hero as his family revealed he was shielding his young daughter and wife from the gunfire when he was struck himself.

    Members of the audience tried to save the father’s life in the bleachers in Butler after Crooks opened fire from a rooftop 130 yards away.

    Family members paid tribute Comperatore who was well-known in the community.

    His sister wrote on Facebook: ‘The PA Trump Rally claimed the life of my brother, Corey Comperatore.

    ‘The hatred for one man took the life of the one man we loved the most. He was a hero that shielded his daughters. ”

    The attempted assassination of former President Trump. Noxious Naughtie was presenting today from N.Ireland and tried to stir up trouble there. He tried in the item before, about the attempted assassination of the former President Trump. James just had to mention that the former President had met with the committee of the NRA (National Rifle Association) and that the Republicans voted against a Democrat-proposed ban on assault weapons. Naughtie omitted to mention that 15 Democrats in Congress also voted against the bill.

    Thanks Labour….

    “Professor makes stunning discovery as to why dead whales keep washing up on East Coast beaches.

    For the best part of half a century, a 41-foot humpback whale named Luna swam up and down the East Coast.

    Then on Jan. 30, 2023, Luna washed up dead on Long Island, New York.

    He was the tenth whale to strand on beaches in New York and New Jersey in nine weeks. Environmentalists, politicians and ordinary citizens loudly wondered if the construction of offshore wind turbines was killing them.

    Apostolos Gerasoulis, a Rutgers professor emeritus of computer science who co-created the search engine that powers Ask.com, now says the answer is yes.

    ‘Absolutely, 100 percent, offshore wind kills whales,’ he says.”

      Correlation isn’t causation – I’ve been looking closely at the US east coast situation for several years for professional purposes and lost count of the mad exaggerations and wild claims from the Eco groups.

      I’m not saying that the whales aren’t affected – but the only thing that hasn’t been blamed yet is Tesla drivers…

    And…

    “Rachel Reeves says she is rebuilding Britain for Keir Starmer – but her constituency has turned into a crime-ridden hell hole where bouncers check customers for weapons and drugs before they are allowed into a pub.

    Disillusioned Labour voters in Rachel Reeves’ Leeds constituency are all asking the same question after she was promoted to Chancellor – how can she sort out the country when she cannot even sort out this place.

    Locals in the once proud working class community of Armley say the area has become a no go zone and the MP has done nothing for them in her 14 years in the seat.

    Drinkers in the White Horse local pub on Armley Town Street say they have not seen Rachel Reeves in person since she was out canvassing for the 2019 General Election.

    If she did visit the premises in the evening she would be subject to a full airport style security check by a bouncer using a metal detecting wand.

    Women are also required to open their handbags for the weapons and drugs checks at the doorway before being allowed in.”

    Re The Trump Photo – when I first saw it I realised it reminded me the the Marines raising the flag ( again ) at Iwo Jima . I thought it might be bad taste to mention it – but the telegraph now does so as one of Those images ( yeah alright – ‘iconic ) –

    Everything has to be iconic ….

    Has the BBC used it yet ? Or have they decided it’s all fake – including the dead …

    The BBC now trying to deflect attention from the reason for the attempt on Trumps life by going for the “disinformation” smokescreen, just like The Guardian.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cljy6yz1j6gt

    The reality is that the lefty media have done their best to create an atmosphere of hate around Trump that so that the young bloke who tried to kill him probably thought he was just doing the right and noble thing and some innocent people died as a result.

    Their deaths, in my opinion can be viewed as a direct result of the bitter campaign of anti-Trump hate carried out by the lefty shrieking media….

    Just imagine the lefty press reaction if Biden had been the target!

    Allow me to tell you the trajectory by the shite lefty media’s reporting of the Trump assassination attempt.

    The assassin was a Trump supporter who saw the light and decided that killing Trump was a noble act.

    He was, like all Trump supporters delusional so basically, nothing to see here folks!

    Just a bit of red on red firepower!
