    If you live in the Orlando area to St Augustine, you've probably seen his roadside signs and/or seen his television ads.

    "The donor recognized by President Trump during his Republican National Convention (RNC) address Thursday night for contributing $1 million to the family of the man killed during a Trump rally has been identified as Florida attorney Dan Newlin.

    A spokesperson for Newlin confirmed to FOX Business that the injury attorney gave the seven-figure sum to the family of 50-year-old retired fire chief Corey Comperatore, who died after being shot while shielding his wife and daughter during the assassination attempt on Trump last Saturday at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

    During his speech on Thursday, Trump honored Comperatore, as well as the two other victims critically injured in the shooting, James Copenhaver, 70, and David Dutch, 57, before recognizing the donations to a GoFundMe he authorized for their loved ones.

    "I am very proud to say that over the past few days we've raised $6.3 million for the families of David, James and Corey, including from a friend of mine… Right here, I just got it, $1 million," Trump said, holding up a check. "From Dan Newlin, thank you, Dan."

    You mean how Trump honored him by awkwardly hugging and kissing a firefighter jacket that had his name misspelled on it, and as far as we know still hasn't called the family, unlike Biden?

    Yep I've seen them. Dan is a big fundraiser for the GOP and Morgan is a big fundraiser for Democrats. I'm not a fan of either one but we wouldn't have Marijuana on the ballot if it wasn't for John Morgan's work for more than a decade

    Who are the actual zealots ?

    The response by a large portion of the political left to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump has revealed a disturbing ideological madness - A dedication to lies and delusions that goes deep into the realm of zealotry. It's something that thousands of commentators have warned about over the years. The general public has long denied the claim as being "reactionary" and many thought conservatives were exaggerating. Recent events prove otherwise.

    Trump needs to hire private security, the Secret Service aroimd Biden is very good. Those protecting Trum are low IQ BAD HIRES. They are low IQ. Syis. Inept. Cowards.diversity hires. Fat. Slovenly. Out of shape. Pooley trained.one fat ass female could not holster her weapon. The holster was at 5 o+”9+’ on her right butt cheek. One female SS loser cowered behind Trump on stgge. 1 agent cowered in fear at he base of the stage. Perfect example of how Democrats degradw everythi they touch. ng

    Apparently it’s his actual firefighter jacket and has always had his name misspelled. If you look at the pictures from earlier in the week of his jacket hanging outside his fire station, the jacket has the same misspelling in all of those as well.

    The real zealots are those who believe that the person who attempted to assassinate Trump was motivated by political zealotry rather than an apolitical young man with serious psychological problems. Let's not forget that the review of his phone by the FBI indicating that he was also researching Biden's whereabouts as well as the site of the Democratic National Convention.

    So, the impact of the left’s demonization of Trump has now spread to JD Vance and the Trump and Vance families.

    Florida man charged over alleged threats to kill Trump, JD Vance

    Authorities arrested and charged a man in Florida over alleged social media threats against former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance.

    Michael M. Wiseman was arrested Friday on charges of written threats to kill, according to a statement from the Jupiter Police Department in Florida.

    “After investigating the reports and the suspect’s Facebook account, JPD detectives found that Wiseman had made multiple threats against Trump and Vance, who earlier this week became the Republican nominees for President and Vice President, respectively,” the statement said. “Threats were also made concerning bodily harm to members of the Trump and Vance families.”

    And not in high school, as claimed, because he graduated in 2022.

    The conversation could well have taken place exactly as the guy said it did. But obviously not when he said it did.

    First of all, how stupid are these people? They have no clue that this stuff will be reported and there are laws against it?
    Second, lots of threats are made. Is this one because of the right's demonization?

    If this is accurate, does it represent something far more nefarious than the Biden administration has admitted?

    Whistleblowers Spill: Who Is To Blame For Trump's Botched Security At Rally?

    “In a startling revelation, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has disclosed that President Trump's security detail during the day of his assassination attempt was predominantly staffed by inexperienced Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents.

    This information, according to whistleblowers, indicates a significant deviation from standard protocols typically observed during such high-profile events.

    As reported by The Blaze, Sen. Hawley made these claims public through a letter addressed to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The letter, a copy of which was shared by the Missouri senator, detailed the allegations made by whistleblowers from within the DHS. "Whistleblowers tell me that MOST of Trump’s security detail working the event last Saturday were not even Secret Service," Hawley wrote. "DHS assigned unprepared and inexperienced personnel."

    Speaking of Trump, this guy is hilarious:

    "You are not going to teach a criminal not to be a criminal," says the man recently convicted of 34 felonies. He's back to his old self (as if he wasn't ever his old self).
