Republican Congressman Dan Meuser was one of many Pennsylvanians who went to Butler, PA, on July 13, the day that an assassin attempted to take the life of former President Donald Trump. Meuser and Dave McCormick, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, happened to be standing in the front row of the rally near a group of men who go by the name “The MAGA Boyz” when the shots rang out, around 6:11 p.m. Secret Service piled on top of Trump, who narrowly escaped the assassination attempt. In the frantic moments that followed the gunfire, the stunned crowd attempted to figure out where the shots were coming from and whether a shooter or shooters were actually among them. Rally-goer Devin Dashow said he turned to Meuser and urged the congressman to get behind him. “These are the guys that are in D.C. fighting for us,” Dashow, who stands at a lofty six feet and eight inches and is a member of The MAGA Boyz, explained to The Daily Wire. “I told him to get behind me.” “Fuck that. Let’s fight,” the congressman told Dashow. Dashow was impressed. Three months later, recalling the incident to The Daily Wire ahead of Trump’s October return to Butler, he said he would never forget the congressman’s words. “I get goosebumps still to this day,” Dashow said. In a Monday phone interview with The Daily Wire, Meuser explained that he thought they were still under fire when he spoke to Dashow. “I thought there were shooters out there,” the congressman said. “We didn’t know that our secret service and our sniper killed the shooter until many minutes later. We had no idea. We thought we were hearing gunfire coming from the other side as well, and then we’re hearing ‘Medic! Medic!’ coming from the other side. So we really thought there was a crossfire.” “I just had a sense of anger,” Meuser continued. “Truly, I just was angry. I wasn’t thinking safety, I mean, we’re standing there in white shirts, red hats, we looked like a target. And as it turned out, the bullets were flying, the FBI told us afterwards, 18 inches over our heads.” Republican Pennsylvania Congressmen Dan Meuser and Guy Reschenthaler attend Saturday’s rally in Butler, PA. Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Dan Meuser, Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Kelly, and candidate Dave McCormick attend Saturday’s rally in Butler. Meuser is sure it was the third or fourth shot that hit Trump. “I was able to spin and turn, and saw him grab his head and dive to the ground,” he explained. “After I saw him hit the deck, Dave and I both…we were about to leap over, the two of us. We looked at each other, we were heading over the rail to get to the president.” Then they realized that the Secret Service was covering the president. At this point, Meuser said, it sounded like the gunfire had come from under the bleachers. “I was peering underneath the bleachers and that’s when the guys, the MAGA Boyz, great guys, all Marines or former Marines and Army soldiers, they were like, ‘Get behind us.'” Corey Comperatore, who was sitting a few rows above the congressmen, was tragically killed by the gunfire during this time. Meuser could hear someone calling for a medic for Comperatore. “I made my way over to Corey, and the doctor was working on him…and this other guy was giving him mouth to mouth, so he had people around him,” the congressman shared. “There was a lot of blood,” he stressed. “A lot of blood…” Like many of the Trump supporters who attended the July rally, Meuser returned to Butler on Saturday for a massive rally in support of Trump and remembrance of Comperatore. When the clock struck 6:11 p.m., Trump called for a moment of silence as a bell tolled in Comperatore’s honor. Trump then invited acclaimed tenor Christopher Macchio on stage for an emotional rendition of Schubert’s “Ave Maria,” during which time attendees could be seen wiping tears from their eyes. And in a gesture of remembrance for the deceased father, the Trump campaign marked off the spot where he was shot, covering the chair with his firefighter uniform. Speakers repeatedly referenced Comperatore and his sacrifice throughout the rally, and the crowd prayed for him on a number of occasions. “It was really quite an experience,” the congressman shared. “People were very happy, yet solemn, if you can be both at the same time. There wasn’t a lot of high-fiving and, you know, Trump rally-style stuff. Everybody was sort of orderly.” Meuser himself had been worried about the thought of Trump returning to Butler. “I didn’t think it was safe for him to go back to Butler, right before the election and everything,” he shared. “But he was determined to do it, and frankly, it turned out to be not just a good idea, but an unbelievably great idea.” Dashow also returned to Butler on Saturday, where he and his fellow MAGA Boyz again sat behind Trump. In a phone interview ahead of the rally, he addressed whether he had any hesitations in returning to the scene of the shooting. “That man stood there and took a bullet for us and stood up and told us to fight, and that’s exactly what I plan on doing,” Dashow told The Daily Wire last week. “If I could stand on stage right behind him, that’s where I would be.”

Ghost photoshoots are back this fall, but this time there’s a fun twist to the trend. If you’re not familiar with this social media sensation, it’s pretty simple. Every autumn, people have been dressing up in white sheets and taking pictures in aesthetic locations to celebrate the spooky season. However, someone recently discovered that, like most things in life, this activity is way better when you include your dogs! Last year, a pet parent named Sarah decided to put together a ghost photoshoot with her tiny Italian greyhound, Granola. She placed a piece of white fabric over the pooch with holes cut out for her eyes and mouth. Then, she took some adorable photos of the four-legged specter appearing in the woods, inside a bookstore, and more! @nolatheiggy No better way to kick of the first day of fall than a ghost photoshoot #iggy #italiangreyhound #ghostphotoshoot #dogsoftiktok ♬ Oh Klahoma – Jack Stauber One of the most surprising things about this ghost photoshoot was how well Granola behaved in her costume. She sat perfectly still while having her picture taken, not once trying to wriggle out of the sheet. Sarah told Newsweek that the entire process couldn’t have gone more smoothly, thanks to this sweet dog. “When we put her ghost costume on for the first time, she just shoved her little snout right in and was perfectly content sitting there having her photo taken,” her owner said. “We are always sure to give her plenty of treats and praise, which makes her especially happy to participate.” As soon as Sarah shared the results of this precious ghost photoshoot on social media, her video went viral. Everyone loved seeing Granola in her little costume! So, this dog mom knew she had to resurrect the trend. This year, you’ll notice a small adjustment to the pooch’s look. Sarah cut out holes for the pup’s ears, which somehow made the disguise even cuter! @nolatheiggy Couldn’t resist making a part 2 #dogsoftiktok #italiangreyhound #ghostphotoshoot ♬ Oh Klahoma – Jack Stauber Other dog owners have been following in Sarah’s footsteps, and their ghost photoshoots are equally cute. We hope this trend comes back again next year, too, because we can’t get enough! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Hip-hop and Donald Trump go way back.In the 1990s, rappers celebrated Trump for his success and immense wealth. Everyone from Nas and Jay-Z to Ice Cube and Master P name-checked the Donald in their verses. 'All Joe Biden voters, get out of my concert. We going to see y’all at the bingo game.'Between 1989 and 2014, 60% of references to Trump were positive versus only 13% that were negative, according to FiveThirtyEight. At the same time, roughly a third of rap song mentions of Hillary Clinton were negative versus only 17% that were positive. Once Trump announced that he would run for the presidency as a Republican, some rappers gave him the cold shoulder. Negative lyrics about Trump in rap songs quadrupled between the start of 2015 and July 2016. Still, there are a few high-profile hip-hop artists who continue to have 45's back. Despite the change of opinion by many prominent rappers, there are a handful of hip-hop stars who have embraced the 45th president. Enjoy this follow-up to our original list of MAGA microphone fiends. 50 Cent Michael Kovac/Getty Images for STARZRapper 50 Cent — whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III — has shown support for Trump on numerous occasions while also lambasting Democrats and their policies. In October 2020, right before the presidential election, 50 Cent endorsed Trump after learning how much Biden wanted to increase taxes. However, Jackson rescinded his endorsement just days later by saying, "F*** Donald Trump," after being publicly berated by his celebrity ex-girlfriend Chelsea Handler.In 2021, 50 Cent said he had trepidation about Biden's tax plan. "His tax plan, I didn't realize I would be paying 62% of my income back to the IRS," the "21 Questions'" rapper told MSNBC host Ari Melber. "So that does change a lot."As Blaze News reported in 2023, 50 Cent blasted President Joe Biden for taking another beach vacation in Delaware while chaos unfolded between Israel and Hamas.Curtis Jackson posted a picture to Instagram of Biden relaxing on the beach with the caption: "Hey Joe get the f*** up, we in trouble man!"50 Cent added, "We got some real s**t going on out here Joe. What's the plan to get a tan and chill come on now."In regard to the immigrant crisis in New York City, 50 Cent stated in February, "Maybe Trump is the answer." 50 Cent visited Capitol Hill in June, where he met with lawmakers, including House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana and Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado. The rapper told reporters he sees black men “identifying with Trump” because “they got RICO charges [too].” Just hours after the attempted assassination of Trump on Saturday, rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson paid tribute to the former president during a concert in Boston.Jackson performed his song "Many Men (Wish Death)" in front of a large reproduction of the cover of his 2003 debut album "Get Rich or Die Tryin'." The image features the rapper standing defiantly behind a pane of glass partially shattered by a bullet, but Jackson's head had been replaced with Trump's.Lil Pump JEFF KOWALSKY/AFP via Getty ImagesLil Pump has been a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump since 2020. In October 2020, Lil Pump announced that he was endorsing Trump. Part of the reason for supporting the Republican presidential candidate was because of Joe Biden's tax proposal. Days before the 2020 presidential election, the “Gucci Gang” rapper appeared at a Trump campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Lil Pump said on stage while wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, “I’ve come here to say, Mr. President, I appreciate everything you’ve done for our country. You brought the troops home and you’re doing the right thing. MAGA 2020. Don’t forget that! And do not vote for Sleepy Joe at all!”In January, Lil Pump got a tattoo on his left thigh of Trump's viral mug shot taken after being booked into a jail in Atlanta, Georgia. In July, Lil Pump told Vice President Kamala Harris in an impassioned Instagram video, “We’ve seen the mess that you and Biden have created in the past three years, and the only person who can clean it up is Donald Trump, baby!” In August, the Florida rapper vowed to move out of the United States if Harris won the 2024 presidential election. “I swear on my dad’s grave, if this stupid-a** b***h Kamala Harris wins the f***ing election, I’m moving out of America, boy. I swear on everything,” Lil Pump declared. In November 2020, Lil Pump released the Trump anthem titled “Lil Pimp Big MAGA Steppin.”In August 2024, Lil Pump proclaimed that he was soon releasing a "pro-Trump song with the support of the Trump team." Waka Flocka Flame Paras Griffin/Getty ImagesWaka Flocka Flame — whose real name is Juaquin James Malphurs — is a rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. He is also an ardent supporter of Donald Trump.In 2020, Waka Flocka Flame suggested that Trump was a better president than Barack Obama. The following year, Waka Flocka Flame was presented with a lifetime achievement award from Trump. The rapper was recognized for the humanitarian and philanthropic work he accomplished with the Chicago-based non-profit Daughter of Destiny Outreach Inc. — an organization that provides services for women experiencing homelessness, substance abuse, trauma, domestic violence, and mental illness.Last October, Waka endorsed Trump for the 2024 presidential election. A few days later, the award-winning rapper shared a photo with Trump on the X social media platform. In July, the "Hard in the Paint" rapper proclaimed: "Trump still my president I don’t have to stand with a red hat or dance or stage for money in my pockets… didn’t push me this direction… this is my choice like I choose not to eat pork but do that make me hate pork lovers or disrespect their character…nor will I act like."The same month, the "No Hands" rapper said on stage during his concert, “All Joe Biden voters, get out of my concert. We going to see y’all at the bingo game. We’re gonna party right now for motherf***ing president T24!”Following the assassination attempt against Trump in July, the rapper tweeted, “I feel like Trump was set up.. protect our president."In August, Waka Flocka Flame declared: "I’m still voting for Trump!!!! Let’s be clear!!!!!"Azealia Banks Tim Mosenfelder/Getty ImagesAzealia Banks is an outspoken rapper from Harlem who has been a vocal supporter of the former president.Banks was one of the few rappers to publicly support Trump in the 2016 presidential election — although not an overwhelmingly positive endorsement of Trump."Ok so, I think I'm ready to admit that I'm going to vote for Donald Trump," Banks began. "I think Trump is the only one who truly has the balls to bust up big business. Hillary [Clinton] is too tied in with them and Bernie [Sanders] has no clout.""Just because Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders say nice things about minorities doesn't mean they actually mean them," the rapper added. "Politicians have been saying 'nice' things about colored folks and we've still been getting f***ed. I only trust this country to be what it is: full of s**t. It takes s**t to know s**t so we may as well, put a piece of s**t in the White House."Banks told the Standard last year that she would be voting for Trump in the 2024 presidential election."He’s just f***ing funny,” she said of the former president. “He’s been through how many bankruptcies? How many wives? How many television shows? Seriously, nothing can take him down.”Speaking on the possibility of Trump starting a nuclear war, “Well, he didn’t press it the first time. You never know, Biden might hit the wrong s**t on the antenna and blow the whole thing up.”In July, she attended Trump’s campaign rally in Doral, Florida.Sleepy Hallow Steven Ferdman/GC ImagesTegan Joshua Anthony Chambers — better known as the Jamaican-American drill rapper Sleepy Hallow from Brooklyn — is a Trump supporter. In May, Sleepy Hallow and rapper Sheff G were invited to speak at the Trump campaign rally in the Bronx, New York. “One thing I want to say. They are always going to whisper your accomplishments and shout your failures. Trump is going to shout the wins for all of us,” Sheff G told the crowd.Sleepy Hallow then proclaimed: “Make America Great Again!”Trump jokingly praised Sheff G’s jewel-encrusted grill, "I like those teeth. I want to find out where you did that. I got to get my teeth like that. I want that to happen to me."DaBaby Rich Fury/Getty ImagesDaBaby — born Jonathan Lyndale Kirk — praised Trump as a "gangster." During a 2022 episode of the massively popular "Full Send" podcast, DaBaby announced that he had previously supported Kanye West to become president during his failed run in 2020. However, he had switched his allegiance to Donald Trump. “I think I’m voting… yeah, yeah, yeah,” DaBaby said. “Do I f*** with Trump? Now? Hell yeah,” DaBaby declared. “Trump is a gangster.”The "Blame It on Baby" rapper said the media is disingenuous and makes "ants into dinosaurs."Like Blaze News?

It’s been ten years, but Alien Isolation 2 is actually in development. If you’ve played the original, this is the announcement you’ve both been waiting for and never thought would arrive - it’s not quite up there, but after a decade, Alien Isolation 2 was at risk of gaining the same mythical status as Half-Life 3. If you haven’t played the first Alien Isolation, however, today, right now, is the perfect time. On the surface it might seem similar to Amnesia, Outlast, and other run-and-hide horrors. In fact, it’s something much more subtle and sophisticated, a unique balance of power and powerlessness that’s unlike anything else on PC. Available now for very cheap, there’s one thing that makes Alien Isolation superior to its horror game peers.
