Leftists have for years publicly fantasized about the demise of President Donald Trump. Some radicals have attempted to make these murderous dreams a reality — and on at least three occasions came awfully close to succeeding.

Investigators are working to determine whether the individual caught allegedly casing the security at a site the president was due to visit is the latest participant in this dark trend.

‘There is no room for error, particularly in light of previous attempts on President Trump’s life.’

Days ahead of the president’s Tuesday visit to the Trump National Golf Course, Los Angeles, in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, plainclothes federal agents spotted a 38-year-old Hispanic man on the property who struck them as suspicious.

According to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, the suspect was seen walking around the golf course grounds taking pictures and videos and “appearing to monitor security-planning activities.”

Deputies with the LASD Lomita Station approached the individual, identified as Jeanine John Taele, and — having determined he was the subject of a robbery investigation by the El Segundo Police Department — detained him and searched his pickup truck.

Deputies allegedly found a 16-round magazine containing hollow-point ammunition in Taele’s pocket. Inside the suspect’s vehicle, they reportedly recovered a loaded 9mm pistol with a round chambered along with a second loaded magazine containing hollow-point ammunition. The Justice Department claimed that a badge that read “security protection agent” was also found in the truck.

Upon the discovery of the weapon and ammunition, deputies formally arrested Taele for carrying a concealed firearm and possession of armor-piercing/prohibited ammunition.

After obtaining a warrant, law enforcement searched Taele’s residence in Downey, California, allegedly recovering: “multiple notebooks containing concerning statements”; a pair of radio signal devices; bulk pistol and rifle ammunition along with high-capacity magazines; body armor; “an illegally modified AR platform rifle”; and a 1911 .45 caliber pistol.

Taele is currently being held at Twin Towers Correctional Facility. Although his bail is set at $250,000, the FBI has filed a federal hold.

The Justice Department announced late on Tuesday that Taele has also been slapped with a federal charge — possession of an unregistered short-barreled rifle, a felony that could potentially land him in a federal prison for a decade.

“While we are still investigating the motives of this individual, we are thankful he was apprehended before the president’s visit,” said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. “Federal and local law enforcement stepped in early and prevented what could have been a dangerous situation from occurring. This investigation remains ongoing.”

“Mr. Taele’s troubling behavior at the president’s public golf course merely days before the president was expected to arrive raised serious red flags for law enforcement and led to the discovery of an unregistered firearm, a loaded weapon, as well as additional items of concern,” Patrick Grandy, the assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, said in a statement. “There is no room for error, particularly in light of previous attempts on President Trump’s life.”

At a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024, Trump was hit in the ear by one of eight bullets fired by Thomas Matthew Crooks. The failed assassination attempt claimed the life of heroic former fire chief Corey Comperatore and severely injured David Dutch and James Copenhaver, who were seated behind the president.

Nine weeks after the Butler shooting, Ryan Routh — a 60-year-old North Carolina native apparently radicalized in recent years with the help of Democrats’ incendiary rhetoric — attempted to assassinate the president at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

On April 25, 2026, 31-year-old Cole Allen allegedly opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, where the president was in attendance. Allen’s alleged weapons of choice for the attempt were a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun and a 1911 .38 caliber pistol.

Trump was also among the names floated in the alleged assassination plot targeting the UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn in June. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the “RINGLEADER” of the alleged plot was Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, an illegal alien from Mexico.

Golden, Colorado, city officials apologized profusely for the actions of a since-terminated employee of the fire department that hung a noose on a doll depicting rap mogul Snoop Dogg.

The “Snoop on a Stoop” doll, meant to parody the popular “Elf on the Shelf” Christmas decoration, had a noose around its neck and was found in a stairwell at the fire department in March.

‘The display evoked a horrific history of racial terror and violence.’

A member of the city’s Race, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Task Force criticized the mayor for not notifying the group about the racist doll incident until months later.

“We are very concerned at what we’ve heard about the facts, including the written statement read by the mayor that this was not handled at the time of the incident when the figurine was found with a noose around its neck back in March,” REDI member Holly Olivarez said.

“I call it a noose because of what it represents,” she added. “A black man with a noose around his neck in the United States of America is very apparently making a statement.”

A spokesperson for the city of Golden told KMGH-TV that the employee had been terminated, but the spokesperson could not offer more details on the basis that it was a personnel matter.

Mayor Laura Weinberg said the doll was immediately removed after it was found in the stairwell.

“The doll should never have been brought into any city facility, and the display evoked a horrific history of racial terror and violence,” she said in a prepared statement on July 28 at a Golden City Council meeting.

KMGH cited an email from City Manager Scott Vargo indicating that an internal investigation had been ordered, disciplinary action was taken, and diversity, equity, and inclusion training was being developed for the Golden Fire Department.

Weinberg also apologized to the black community.

“We recognize this was not simply an inappropriate workplace incident,” she said. “It was an act with deeply painful historical meaning. It can undoubtedly cause fear, anger, grief, and a profound loss of trust. No one should ever question whether they are respected, valued, or safe in a city workplace or while receiving services from the City of Golden.”

In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. turned the tables on his interviewer when she spoke over him and repeated empty COVID-era platitudes.

“It was just beautiful,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says.

“She brought on RFK to try and lecture him about measles and blame him for the measles outbreak in America. But the conversation quickly turned to the handling of the COVID pandemic and how much she helped contribute to the misinformation during that time,” she adds.

In the interview, Bash began by asking how RFK Jr. would prepare for the next pandemic, claiming that experts think it will happen in the next 10 years.

“Yeah, I mean, I think we did virtually everything wrong the last time,” RFK Jr. responded, pointing out that there were doctors who saw no COVID deaths by prescribing therapeutics. Instead, the country locked down and pushed a vaccine on the population.

RFK Jr. went on to say it’s also important that we protect our constitutional rights, which were “completely dismantled” during COVID.

“We began censoring people in violation,” he said.

After interrupting him several times, Bash said, “I really want to move on.”

“You were part of the problem,” RFK Jr. said.

Bash then claimed that there is “data upon data upon data” that the “COVID vaccine prevented deaths,” but she could not produce a study that proved that the vaccine did more good than harm to children.

“I can tell you that when it comes to the vaccine, there have been studies that show that because of vaccine disinformation, there could have been 100 to 200,000 lives in the U.S. saved but because people didn’t get the vaccine,” Bash said, before RFK Jr. interrupted.

“You are saying nonsense,” RFK Jr. responded.

When Bash claimed that it was a “scary time” and mistakes were made, RFK Jr. fired back that she was scaring people.

“That was the job of CNN,” he said.

“Recall that she was trying to suck up to Anthony Fauci during the pandemic. Now, how do we know this? Well, his homosexual diary entries, of course,” Gonzales explains.

And sure enough, one diary entry from April 17, 2021, reads: “Dana Bash sent me a text: ‘I just watched the whole Jordan thing. Again, you’re a better man than I. As our friend Wolf Blitzer said to me yesterday — no one would have blamed you if you said simply, ‘Mr. Jordan, go f**k yourself.’”

Another from April 18, 2021, reads: “I received a text from Dana Bash pointing out that Vanity Fair recently had a headline that said: ‘Jim Jordan trips over his own asshole trying to debate Anthony Fauci.’”

“Like, oh, OK. Yeah. No, you didn’t have any bias, Dana,” Gonzales mocks, repeating, “You didn’t have any bias.”

Democratic Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said that anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party has gotten so bad, she is refusing to attend the national convention out of fears for her personal safety.

Nessel, who is Jewish, said she’s already faced anti-Semitic harassment and expects it to be far worse at the convention in August.

‘People aren’t interested in the fact that, you know, that I’m gay. They’re not interested in the fact that I’m a woman. They are very interested in the fact that I’m Jewish.’

“I feel like my presence isn’t going to be welcome. I don’t want to get chased around. I don’t want to get harassed,” Nessel said at an anti-Semitism forum on Thursday.

“I don’t want to get yelled and screamed at. I don’t want to get booed off the stage, irrespective of what I’m saying,” she added.

She went on to criticize the Democratic Party of Michigan for looking the other way regarding threats she’s received.

“The threats that I receive are almost exclusively anti-Semitic threats,” Nessel continued. “People aren’t interested in the fact that, you know, that I’m gay. They’re not interested in the fact that I’m a woman. They are very interested in the fact that I’m Jewish.”

Nessel had been forced to drop felony charges against some students arrested at a pro-Palestine UM student encampment in 2024. She blamed the “circus-like” atmosphere surrounding the case that included accusations of bias against her.

“It’s just been getting worse and worse. And worse,” she added. “And I have profound fears about what is going to happen to this state and what is going to happen to this country if we don’t have a significant change of course in what’s going on and we don’t do a better job of educating people about it and we don’t do a better job of holding people accountable.”

A handful of Democrats have been sounding the alarm about extremist politicians winning primary elections against more establishment candidates. Some Democrats are threatening to leave the party if it continues to veer into extremism related to anti-Semitism as well as communist economic policies.

Derrick Honeyman, the spokesperson for the Michigan Democratic Party, said they were focused on “ensuring party-hosted events are safe and secure environments” for the attendees of the convention.

“We reject anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and all forms of hateful conduct,” he added. “We are working diligently with stakeholders, elected officials, and party membership to prepare for our August convention and look forward to welcoming Michigan Democrats to the Lansing Center on August 29.”

In an interview on the “Relentless” podcast last week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman declared that we are now “in the singularity.”

Altman was pleased, adding, “I’ve been waiting for this my whole life, and I think it’s going to be incredible, hugely positive, awesome for the world.”

Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck doesn’t share his excitement.

“That comes from terminology about a black hole. You get to the point of singularity. It means you’re now in the gravitational pull of the black hole and that you’re past the point of return. You cannot reverse the engines. You are going into the black hole,” he says.

“We are there. So now what do we do?” he asks.

The first thing that needs to be done, he says, is “make sure that China doesn’t control” the outcome of AI.

“Let’s make sure that it’s not evil immediately because it’s a surveillance tool for China,” he says.

The second point of action is negotiating.

“Your town must negotiate hard for you,” he says, using data centers as an example.

“If they want to build in your town, you have two choices. You can say no or you can say no unless, unless we have no more property tax, unless you’re paying for 20% of everybody’s electricity,” he says.

“You negotiate like hell, and you ask for the moon and the stars,” he continues.

“And it should not be done in the darkness. This should never come to a community where the community hasn’t had an open discussion and a vote,” he adds.

A violent encampment that included dozens of homeless people was dismantled by order of the Democratic mayor, who sounded very sorrowful and reluctant about the decision.

The encampment was ostensibly out of protest against law enforcement after Corey Ruiz, a black man, was shot and killed by officers last month in Madison, Wisconsin.

‘Multiple efforts and calls to end the occupation peacefully were made but ultimately ignored.’

Video from the lethal incident showed several police officers struggling to control Ruiz before one yells, “He’s got a knife!” and another shoots him several times. One officer was injured by Ruiz with the knife, according to the police chief.

Protesters called for “justice for Corey” despite the evidence that the shooting was justified by his alleged actions.

On Tuesday, Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway released a video explaining that the protesters had gotten violent and set fires in the encampment at the intersection of Williamson and Baldwin streets.

“For nearly two weeks, I and city staff have been working day and night to peacefully resolve the occupation of Williamson and Baldwin without law enforcement intervention,” she said. “The city has committed to maintaining space for members of the community to gather and grieve, and we stand ready to do that work in collaboration with the family and the community.”

She went on to say protesters got violent when the city began to clear out the encampment.

“Unfortunately, as city staff cleared the area, rocks and other items were thrown at city employees and two fires were set,” she continued. “As a result, law enforcement was called in to stabilize the scene, and a small number of individuals were arrested. Again, multiple efforts and calls to end the occupation peacefully were made but ultimately ignored.”

She added that about 50 “unsheltered” people at the encampment were offered hotel rooms and transportation to the rooms with “as much compassion as possible.”

Despite her attempts to appease the far-left protesters, more demonstrations sprung up after the mayor ordered the encampment cleared out. One video from the New York Post shows protesters screaming and threatening people trying to drive through the intersection.

“Even one community member killed during interactions with the police is too many,” Rhodes-Conway concluded. “The grief, anger, and frustration are real, and I feel it too.”

A Democrat who had warned his party against alienating voters with the transgender agenda appears to have completely turned his back on that previous sage advice.

During a debate with incumbent Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) for the Senate nomination of his party on Monday, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) apologized to the transgender community for his previous comments.

Markey fired back by characterizing Moulton’s comments as tossing transgender kids under the bus and using the MAGA ‘playbook’ against them.

“I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I’m supposed to be afraid to say that,” said Moulton after the 2024 election.

On Monday, Moulton was challenged about his comments during a debate with Markey.

“To the trans community feeling the weight and the pain of the Trump administration policies, I deeply recognize your trauma. And I’m sorry if my comments hurt you. That was not my intention,” said Moulton.

“I am a proud co-sponsor of the Transgender Bill of Rights, a proud repeat co-sponsor of the Equality Act, and I have a 100% voting record with the Human Rights Campaign,” he added. “If you’re in the trans community or you’re a trans kid feeling the weight of the Trump administration and the Supreme Court, you matter, you’re valued, and I will always have your back.”

He then went on to attack Markey for voting 61 times for Trump administration nominees whom Moulton described as anti-transgender.

Markey fired back by characterizing Moulton’s comments as tossing trans-identifying kids under the bus and using the MAGA “playbook” against them.

“We should have been loving those kids,” Markey said.

“We should have been embracing them.”

Video of the comments was widely circulated on social media.

Moulton faced immediate backlash over his transgender comments in 2024, including some protests outside of his office and the resignation of a top aide.

He later reiterated his point while allowing that he may have been unartful about his choice of wording.

“Look, I was just speaking authentically as a parent about one of many issues where Democrats are just out of touch with the majority of Americans,” said Moulton at the time. “And I stand by my position, even though I may not have used exactly the right words.”

The entire debate on Monday between the two Massachusetts Democrats can be viewed on the WFXT-TV YouTube channel. The Massachusetts primary election is September 1.
