On Monday, Sen. Grassley produced evidence from an agency whistleblower showing that the Secret Service assigned three “post” officers or additional detail members responsible for securing a certain perimeter segment to the Trump’s Butler rally. In contrast, Jill Biden’s visit to Pittsburgh drew 12 post officers. There is evidence a drone operator was listed on […] The post The Missing Drone of the Butler Assassination Attempt appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said during an interview this week that Vice President Kamala Harris did “all the right things” regarding her rise in the political world. Waters made the remarks during an interview with MSNBC host Joy Reid. They discussed Harris’ new presidential campaign, which launched on Sunday after President Joe Biden announced that he was quitting his re-election bid. “It is going to be tough. They’re gonna accuse her, they’re gonna call her names, they’re gonna do all kinds of things. But you know, she is not going to be intimidated,” Waters said. “She’s smart, she’s tough, she knows how it all works now. She’s worked at the White House, she’s the Vice President of the United States, and she’s smarter than Trump. And so, if they come after her, she’s gonna get them.” While discussing Harris’s rise through California politics, Waters said Harris was a “determined person.” “She had a good career because she concentrated and worked at having a good career,” Waters said. “And she moved right up the ladder into the Senate and into the Vice Presidency. Well, it was all because she is strong and she believed in herself. And she came from strong parents.” “It was that kind of strength and that kind of courage and that kind of belief in self that I think defines her,” she continued. “And she did all the right things, for the most part, in terms of how you climb up the ladder. I don’t care what they say. She trained well, she went to school, she did well. All of those things that she was taught to do. And so, I think she’d be seen and understood as a woman who was always on a mission. She was accomplished. She succeeded.” WATCH: Rep.

FBI Director Christopher Wray will face questioning from House lawmakers on Wednesday about the bureau’s investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. The House Judiciary Committee led by Republican Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) will question Wray at 10:00 a.m. ET about the Trump assassination attempt and concerns about the politicization of the FBI. The hearing with Wray comes after lawmakers grilled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle on Monday before she stepped down on Tuesday.  According to the House Judiciary Committee, the hearing “will examine the FBI’s investigation into the assassination attempt against President Trump and the ongoing politicization of the nation’s preeminent law enforcement agency under the direction of FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland.” Jordan wrote a letter to Wray last week asking him to provide the committee with documents about the FBI’s investigation into the attack on Trump and whether the campaign rally was left understaffed because of a NATO summit and a Jill Biden event. “Information provided to this Committee raises serious questions about the thoroughness of the security planning by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies in support of President Trump’s campaign rally,” Jordan wrote last week.  “The Committee has several unanswered questions about the failures that led to the attempted assassination of a president—the first in over forty years—as well as the FBI’s ability to conduct a rapid, transparent, and thorough investigation in the wake of its recent scandals,” he added. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Wray will likely be asked about how many agents are working the Trump investigation, how many buildings were secured inside and outside the perimeter for Trump’s rally, the FBI’s evaluation of the shooter’s phone, and why the rooftop of the American Glass Research Building was left unsecured, allowing 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks to take several shots at Trump. Several lawmakers have already expressed concerns about the FBI handling the inquiry into the assassination because of its handling of other high-profile investigations, like The Covenant School shooting.  “My constituents are deeply concerned with the FBI conducting the sole investigation into the attempted assassination of President Trump,” Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) said last week. “They don’t have faith in the current FBI leadership to get to the truth given how they have targeted President Trump with political witch hunt after witch hunt at the behest of Joe Biden.”

The official White House transcript for this speech shows that Biden said "rigor," not "wigger."

If you haven’t read Selco’s paperback, paperback, The Dark Secrets of Survival, now is the time. Where are we right now, at what point in history? “First they fascinate the fools, then they muzzle the intelligent.” Bertrand Russell about how fascism started. It is more and more each day about fascinating the fools and muzzling the intelligent. “Fools” are fascinated with shiny and irrelevant stuff, sports, gambling, games, TV shows, irrelevant political discussions, following the “influencers,” and stuff that in general, gives them feeling about how their life is good or how they have influence over the things, or how they even can decide something. How they are supposed to be important, how they “matter.” “Fools” are not necessarily fools, just ordinary folks with ordinary problems. Being in a situation where they have to fight for food every day and discovering they have been blind, fooled by the system that they are “important” can cause them to change. “Intelligent” people might seem a bit more wise than fools, but they understand how stuff works, so they keep their mouths shut. If they talk too much, they’re going to be shut down or muzzled. “War is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength.” (George Orwell, “1984”) We are being played from one end of history when folks did not have too many rights and freedoms into another end of history wwhen people gonna be stripped and being stripped of rights and freedoms. And it will happen all in the name of rights and freedoms. You are being shushed down in the name of freedom of speech. Rights are being taken away from you in the name of other people’s rights. Freedom is being slowly canceled in the name of “the fight for freedom and democracy.” In this beautiful world of freedoms and rights, you need to stay stupid, love war, and you need to watch what you are saying (posting), or you might slowly die of unemployment. Who is more sick, the system or the people? To continue in the same spirit of the above, it is not only where the system and society are driving (or pushing you) but also about how modern systems work or how fragile they are. A few weeks ago hospital network close to me (a few other institutions, too) suffered cyber attacks, some say from Russian hackers. As a result, all data about medical records, surgeries data, donor banks data…everything was affected. Some services did not work for quite some time, some surgeries were postponed, and similar. Officially, the problems were solved in a few days. Unofficially, they lasted much longer, and it was pretty chaotic because all data was unavailable. A few days ago, something similar happened, but on a much, much larger scale. It is still unknown how large it is and how much it will influence everyday life, and for how many people. They say that a faulty security update caused thousands of Windows systems worldwide to crash, so a bunch of things simply do not work, impacting airports, banks, and TV broadcasters… You may say it happens and people will continue to live, yes and it is not a big thing unless you need emergency surgery and no data available about you, or you have scheduled cancer treatment that needs to be postponed…or simply you are without food and without cash with a bank card that does not work. And remember this (as it looks in this moment) is still a small thing, a small failure. Can you imagine complete and worlwide failure? The system is fragile. The system is operating in a way that you do not need to bomb it in order to destroy it. The bad guy just needs to“pull the plug“in the right place to start chaos. Maybe someone pulled a “small” plug just to test things the other day with this “blue screen of death?” Maybe someone wanted to shut down everything but they failed? The big plug will be pulled sooner or later simply because someone will do it, and bad things will happen. Now, about people… You all watched the video of the shooting at Donald Trump. Shots were fired, and how many people took cover (except Mr. Trump)? How many people at least lad down to make themselves smaller targets? Very few. There is active shooting. Nobody exactly knows what is happening, how many shooters there are, what kind of weapons are being used, and what more gonna be used. The majority of people are standing up, looking at what is happening, and recording scenes with cell phones. Bit weird right? It looks like the majority of people in SHTF will die simply because they will try to record SHTF on their phones. It is not only about the system. It is about ordinary people too. We become idiots mostly, with zero survival instincts, and the better and more modern life we have, the longer and more painful the fall we will have when SHTF. Now, combine those people with times when the big plug gonna be taken out… What do you think will happen then?

After I posted a job opening on LinkedIn last summer for my new online journal, New Guard Press, the social media site removed the listing, citing “discrimination.” My crime? I wrote that my post sought “young writers who believe in our mission of reviving American culture.”  A label on that job posting for New Guard Press in my LinkedIn account still says it was “removed for discrimination.” I originally got the notification on July 4, 2023.   This was not the first time I had trouble with LinkedIn’s Jobs section. Two days earlier, I had received the same notification for an almost identical job posting. I appealed, asking LinkedIn to take a second look. I hoped that a more reasonable person would review the job posting, see that there was nothing remotely discriminatory about it, and return the post to the platform.   Twelve minutes after I requested a review of the earlier post, I got another email. LinkedIn confirmed that my job listing did in fact violate its “Jobs Terms and Conditions.”   After capitulating and removing the word “American” from the job description (a decision I now regret), I tried to post an entirely different job. Following this, I got an email July 7, 2023, saying that my ability to post jobs had been suspended for a week.   In August, LinkedIn banned me for another six days for “recurring violations of our Jobs Terms & Conditions and Quality Job Post Guidelines.” By this point, I had found out that LinkedIn doesn’t have accessible customer service. The only option is to direct-message LinkedIn on X (then still called Twitter), which I did after getting banned a second time.   Thirteen days later, I got a message back saying: “It looks like this has already been resolved.  Please let us know if you still experience issues.”   Keep in mind that when all of this took place, New Guard Press had not published a single article. It was barely more than an idea in the head of an 18-year-old in rural southern Ohio who wanted to build a publication for young conservatives.   Some may dismiss this incident as just a flaw in an otherwise good algorithm that keeps the LinkedIn community safe and professional. Even if that were so, LinkedIn has annual revenue north of $13 billion. If removing a job posting on the Fourth of July because it contains the word “American” is a flaw in its automated system, surely LinkedIn has the means to rapidly fix that flaw.   But more to the point, behind algorithms are human beings with ideas.   After LinkedIn removed my job posting for New Guard Press, I made a post on my personal account containing screenshots of a job posting by Planned Parenthood for a “Lead Clinician” that openly included performing abortion as part of the job description. My personal post included screenshots from a job posting by Indiana University Health titled “Academic Ob/gyn and trans/Gender Health Hybrid Position” and one from Rush University Medical Center looking for a “Gender Affirmation Advanced Practice Provider.”  LinkedIn allowed the listings for these two paid positions to remain on its website but removed my posting for an unpaid job at a new publication, New Guard Press. It’s clear that LinkedIn isn’t even pretending to be politically neutral.   “LinkedIn is not only as woke as other social media companies, but probably even more so,” The Heritage Foundation’s GianCarlo Canaparo and Daniel Cochrane wrote for The Daily Signal in April. “And it doesn’t hide it,” they added. “On the contrary, LinkedIn devotes a great deal of its resources to publicizing its ideological bias.”   LinkedIn “regularly publishes blogs touting its commitment to DEI,” Heritage’s Canaparo and Cochrane noted. “It produces hundreds of videos and classes to teach other people how important DEI is. It celebrates the DEI awards it wins from left-wing groups.”  This suggests that LinkedIn took down my job postings not because “reviving American culture” is discriminatory, but because LinkedIn discriminates against conservatives.   If LinkedIn truly wants to be a respected professional platform, it should at the very least fix its algorithms, so they don’t flag the word “American” as a form of discrimination. And if LinkedIn truly wants to be a beneficial part of the online landscape, it should do away with policies that enforce the Left’s political agenda.    The post I Got Banned by LinkedIn for Using ‘American’ in a Job Posting appeared first on The Daily Signal.
