Lead: Police Knew About Shooter for 26 Minutes

Sources say that they notified authorities about the Trump shooter a full 26 minutes before he fired his first shot. 26 minutes!

One source took a photo and sent it to authorities at 5:45 p.m. Shots were not fired until 6:11 p.m.! A video compiled by MilkBarTV shows that rally attendees were trying to alert law enforcement about the shooter for at least 120 seconds.

It gets even worse. Now reports confirm that the building that the shooter was on top of was loaded with “counter-sniper team cops” inside of it!

How does this happen? The House Oversight Committee has asked U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle for all communication relating to the security of the event, including all internal documents, text messages and emails related to the planning, pre-site surveys, surveillance and communication with local law enforcement. They want this information “no later than this Thursday, July 18, 2024.”

Meanwhile, President Trump showed up to the Republican National Convention on Monday with his ear bandaged. Director Cheatle said that his security would be “strengthened” and “enhanced” this week. It does look like they found him some much bigger dudes to do the job.

Ukraine’s New ‘Peace Plan’ 

Ukraine has planned another “peace summit” but their peace summits are not peace summits. The last summit that Ukraine hosted in Switzerland involved a fantasy plan that would have Ukraine take control of Crimea and the Donbas region while moving forward to join NATO. Those regions voted to join Russia after the Ukrainian army repeatedly attacked them and Ukraine has given no assurances that the people living there would be safe or free if they regained control.

Russia has rejected Ukraine’s “peace proposals” repeatedly but Ukraine keeps making theater of these summits. Ukraine did not even invite Russia to the last summit in June so how can you call that a peace negotiation when one party is not invited?

Ukraine now says that Russia is invited to the next summit. Ukrainian President Zelensky said this to Reuters: “I set a goal that in November we would have a fully ready plan. I think that representatives of Russia should be at the second summit.”

Well, that’s progress. Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov agreed that Russia should be there but they won’t fall for another Western-backed summit like the one in Switzerland which was, according to Peskov, “by no means a peace summit…. Therefore, it is probably necessary to first understand what he [Zelensky] means.”

Trump’s VP Selection

President Trump chose Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate for Vice President.

The Ohio Senator is a Yale Law School graduate and best-selling author of the book “Hillbilly Elegy.” His wife Usha Vance is of Indian descent and a former law clerk for Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh.

Vance was a “never-Trumper” but has since come around on the former President’s campaign. He has spoken out against funding the war in Ukraine but in recent interviews showed himself in favor of a new war with Iran. Sigh.

Amazon’s Prime Injury Day

Amazon Prime Day is not great for everyone. A Senate report finds that Amazon workers get hurt in the mad rush for deals.

The Senate analyzed Prime Day in 2019 and found over 10 injuries per 100 workers reported to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is “more than double the industry average.” The report found that injuries not disclosed to OSHA “was just under 45 injuries per 100 workers, [which is] nearly half of the company’s warehouse workers.” Yikes!

The injury rate increases around the holidays too when workers “process twice as many packages per day” than they do during normal periods. The committee accuses Amazon of skirting and “sometimes even outright [ignoring] critical safety protocols.”

So what are consumers to do? Not shop Amazon Prime Day? Demand that Congress implement more safety regulations? What do you think?
