Was This Speech the 'Most Dangerous for the Democratic Coalition'?

Butler, Pennsylvania, may be a quiet town with just over 13,000 residents — but it’s now forever enshrined in our nation’s memory. The small town hosted the last Trump rally where the former president just barely escaped a bullet that was meant to kill him, and one of its residents who was in attendance is sharing his side of the story. “It’s funny, I immediately thought back to like September 11th,” Jessie, the resident, tells Stu Burguiere. “I’ve heard a lot of people say ‘Oh, it was such a beautiful day,’ and that’s exactly what it was here.” Jessie recalls it taking around two-and-a-half hours to get through security, where no one checked IDs or tickets. “It was just very, very unorganized,” he tells Stu. “There was a visible difference of less Secret Service,” he continues, explaining that he’s been to three other Trump rallies in the past. While there were around 40,000 people in attendance, there were only two snipers Jessie could see on the surrounding rooftops. “I only heard three shots initially, and then I heard multiple shots after that, which I would assume would be Secret Service snipers' engagement, and the Secret Service tackled him so hard that Trump’s shoes fell off,” he explains, noting that the agents holding him down were repeating, “Hawkeye is here.” While Jessie couldn’t see Trump’s face as he was seated behind him, he could make out his hand, which he tells Stu “had blood on it.” “Then I saw him stop and put his fist up,” he says, adding, “Then everybody started chanting 'USA' and cheering.” Jessie was in the center set of bleachers behind the podium, while the far end of the bleachers to the right and the left are where attendees were hit — and tragically one lost his life. “How crazy is it to you that there wasn’t Secret Service presence or police presence on the building where the shooter actually wound up?” Stu asks. “Oh my goodness, that’s totally insane,” Jessie answers. “It doesn’t make sense to me at all.” Want more from Stu?To enjoy more of Stu's lethal wit, wisdom, and mockery, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Model and rapper Amber Rose lambasted MSNBC's Joy Reid after she tried to criticize Rose's speech on the first evening of the Republican National Convention. Rose was widely applauded for her emotional and effective speech, but Reid decided to attack her on the basis that she had made her celebrity on support from the black community. "It's ironic that they were able to recruit this young woman, who, she's a racially ambiguous, I don't want to say she's black because she has said she is not, so I don't want to say 'this black woman,'" Reid said on MSNBC. "But they brought somebody whose whole career is based in black culture. She used to be on a show on BET, that's the reason that most people know who she is. She dated one of the most prominent African-American rappers in the business, in the history of hip-hop," she continued, referring to Kanye West. "And the fact that she is the person they're using to try to recruit people of color and to say that this is the person, the endorser of Donald Trump who you should trust, when she won't even claim the culture that brought her to the table?" Reid concluded. "I am dubious that this will work." Rose fired back in a social media post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. "Hi @JoyAnnReid I’ve never said I wasn’t black I said I identify as biracial," she wrote. "I’m not going to invalid my white father to make you feel more comfortable. Stop being a race baiter ur president does enough race baiting for all of us," she added. Her missive garnered more than 3.2 million views in a few hours. Other Democrats recognized how dangerous Rose's speech was to their party that is relying on black support for the upcoming elections. “That was probably the most dangerous speech for the Democratic coalition,” sand Democratic strategist Van Jones on CNN. “That is a young woman of color. She is describing the experience that a lot of people have — feeling that maybe, if you’re around too many liberals, you might get criticized too much or you might not be able to speak your mind, and she spoke to it really well.” Like Blaze News?

Cast your mind back to the heady days of 2012, when a plucky underdog by the name of Diablo 3 emerged on the scene. Despite being well received in some ways, it fell down with the extremely controversial inclusion of an auction house which let players buy gear and gold with real money. That’s since been removed but another contender is stepping up to try it again - the upcoming MMO Throne and Liberty.

Signed on Monday by California Governor Gavin Newsom, it prevents schools from imposing rules requiring teachers to disclose changes to a student’s gender identity without their permission and prohibits retaliation against teachers who refuse to out a student, reports the Los Angeles Times. Another post from Musk a few minutes later said that X, which is currently headquartered in San Francisco, “will move to... Continue reading…

The Therapeutae are an ancient Jewish ascetic community, shrouded in mystery and truly obscure. Much of what we know about them comes from the writings of Philo of Alexandria, a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher of the 1st century AD. In his work "De Vita Contemplativa" (On the Contemplative Life), Philo provides a detailed account of this enigmatic religious group, which has intrigued scholars for centuries since. What happened to the enigmatic Therapeutae, and what was their place in ancient history? Who Destroyed the Great Library of Alexandria? Egyptian Archaeologists unearth large black sarcophagus in Alexandria The Therapeutae Preserved in Ancient Writings The Therapeutae were primarily located near Lake Mareotis, close to Alexandria in Egypt. This city was a significant cultural and intellectual hub in the ancient world, home to a diverse population, including a substantial Jewish community. The city's cosmopolitan environment likely influenced the development of the Therapeutae, who were known for blending Jewish traditions with Hellenistic philosophies. The exact origins of the Therapeutae are unclear, but they are believed to have emerged around the early 1st century BC, flourishing until the 2nd century AD.
