Trump Shooting Task Force to Tour Butler Monday; Other Lawmakers Holding Separate Event

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The task force appointed by House Speaker Mike Johnson and ranking member Hakeem Jeffries, D-NY, to investigate the Trump assassination attempt is set to meet at the scene of the crime on Monday.

According to the Washington Examiner, task force leaders Reps. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., and Jason Crow, D-Co., will meet with local officials to discuss the shooting. They’re also expected to hold a press conference.

Meanwhile, former Navy Seals sniper Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., and decorated combat veteran Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., are holding their own event on the same day, along with Reps. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., and Chip Roy, R-Texas.

Speakers at the Crane/Mills event, which will be held at the Heritage Foundation in Washington DC, include former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, military contractor Erik Prince and Ben Shaffer, a member of the Washington regional SWAT team—one of the law enforcement groups at Butler on the July 13 assassination attempt.

The Monday Heritage Foundation event follows Mills’ promise a “parallel independent investigation” after he and Crane were left of the Johnson task force despite their combat bona fides.

“It’s very unfortunate but not surprising for anyone familiar with how DC works. I’m not a politician, leadership, or a ‘yes man,’” Mills reportedly said earlier this month, in response to the Task Force appointments.

“I will be speaking with other members, and although I won’t have subpoena powers, I will personally fund whatever is required for additional staff to further investigation and expose the truth.”

Mills seems to have good reason for concern about the Johnson task force, which is  comprised of six Democrats and seven Republicans—a mix of RINOs and MAGA-leaning lawmakers.

The Democrats on the Task Force are Reps. Crow, Lou Correa, D-Calif., Madeleine Dean, D-Penn., Chrissy Houlahan, D-Penn., Glenn Ivey, D-Md., and Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla. Crow, who helped spearhead the impeachment attempts against Trump, is the ranking Democrat.

Along with Kelly, the Republicans are Reps. Mark Green, R-Tenn., David Joyce, R-Ohio, Laurel Lee, R-Fla., Michael Waltz, R-Fla., Clay Higgins, R-La., and Pat Fallon, R-Texas.

Along with its composition, the task force has been criticized for setting a Dec. 13 deadline to produce the results of its investigation.

Kelly did reportedly say this week that he expects to put out interim results sooner than that, and Higgins put out his own report last week with explosive new information—including that the FBI released alleged shooter Thomas Crooks’s body for cremation before congressional investigators had a chance to inspect it.

Headline USA will cover both events on Monday.

Is Patriot Front an ‘Insurrectionist’ Group? DOJ Seems to Think So

Is Patriot Front an ‘Insurrectionist’ Group? DOJ Seems to Think So

(Stephen Horn, Headline USA) North Carolina paratrooper Kai Liam Nix has been identified as one of the Patriot Front members seen over the last several years marching in khakis, a blue polo and face mask. Apparently, the Justice Department may consider such activity to constitute as participation in an “insurrectionist” group.

Nix was arrested last week and charged with lying on a security clearance form for claiming he had “never been a member of a group dedicated to the use of violence or force to overthrow the U.S. Government.”

The DOJ hasn’t specifically named the “insurrectionist” group or groups Nix was allegedly affiliated with, but his arrest comes at the same time as the New Yorker and the Southern Poverty Law Center running exposés on his involvement with the Patriot Front—articles underpinned by information from Antifa researchers.

Nix was granted pretrial release to home detention under the custody of his mother at a hearing Thursday after a week in jail, with special release conditions including GPS monitoring and a ban on internet access.

The Appalachia Research Club, which describes itself as an “antifascist research collective”, obtained Nix’s name by running the license plate of a vehicle involved in a stunt designed to intimidate left-wing journalist Jordan Green at his North Carolina home, according to the New Yorker.

Based on social media and leaked Patriot Front material, ARC was able to match Nix’s face and birthday with a member going by the pseudonym “Patrick NC”. Nix can be seen in the video below, which was taken by this reporter in February 2022.

Although Nix denied any involvement in Patriot Front when questioned by the New Yorker, he has since been charged with violating 18 U.S. Code § 1001(a)(2) by falsely stating that “he had never been a member of a group dedicated to the use of violence or force to overthrow the United States Government and which engaged in activities to that end” on his Security Clearance Application Standard Form (SF) 86.

Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization characterized by their propagandistic vandalism and showy marches in matching khakis, is also known in right-wing circles for the pall cast by the pattern of widespread “fed” infiltration.

One image included in the SPLC’s “Hatewatch” investigation captures Nix, aged 17, in attendance at a 2021 Raleigh rally in the company of Michael Alan Jones, who has since been confirmed to be an FBI informant.

The detention hearing did not reveal any additional factual information on the government’s allegations beyond what is included in the grand jury indictment, which omits even confirmation that Patriot Front is the “group dedicated to the use of violence or force to overthrow the United States Government.”

Nix’s indictment and arrest in the federal Eastern District of North Carolina came just days after the New Yorker reached out to the Army based on the information provided by ARC. Five days after the arrest, Nix was separated from the Army, where he had been serving as an infantryman in the 82nd Airborne Division stationed at Fort Liberty after joining in 2022.

Nix also faces one count of dealing in firearms without a license and two counts of possessing and selling a stolen firearm for a potential maximum penalty of 30 years, according to the Department of Justice.

Is Bitcoin Really Digital Gold? Comparing and Contrasting the Two Assets

Is Bitcoin Really Digital Gold? Comparing and Contrasting the Two Assets

(Mike Maharrey, Money Metals News Service) Many investors put gold and Bitcoin in the same category. Some people even call Bitcoin “digital gold.” 

Is this a fair comparison?

There are certainly similarities between the two assets, but there are some significant differences as well. 

Gold and Bitcoin have both provided solid returns this year. Gold prices have risen by over 22 percent, reflecting the weakening U.S. dollar and growing investor interest. Bitcoin has charted even bigger returns, up over 150 percent since January. 

There are other more fundamental similarities. Both gold and Bitcoin can be used as a transactional currency as well as a store of value. Neither are controlled by governments and central banks. This being the case, both gold and Bitcoin come with significantly less counterparty risk than many other asset classes. Both assets also have a naturally limited supply.

But there are also significant differences between gold and Bitcoin.

First, gold is much less volatile than Bitcoin. As the World Gold Council put it, “Gold and Bitcoin sit at the opposite ends of the volatility spectrum.“

In terms of volatility, Bitcoin behaves more like a tech stock. That’s because according to major asset managers, Bitcoin’s strongest use case is as an indicator of overall blockchain adoption.

Another difference between Bitcoin and gold is their correlation with other assets in a diversified portfolio. According to the World Gold Council, “The numbers demonstrate that Bitcoin and gold have different drivers and in times of increased stress in market conditions, gold provides a unique impact on a diversified portfolio.“

Comparing gold’s performance with Bitcoin during periods of significant economic turmoil demonstrates gold’s role as a safe haven distinct from Bitcoin.

As the World Gold Council summed it up, “What you can find is that once established, Bitcoin has not demonstrated the same characteristics as gold at those critical moments. When you expect protection against significant market moves, Bitcoin tracked risk assets.“

World Gold Council analysis found that adding gold to a portfolio “provides demonstrated diversification.” On the other hand, adding Bitcoin to a portfolio is more similar to increasing exposure to high-risk equities such as tech stocks. 

“Allocating gold to the portfolio provides an increasing level of risk-adjusted return at any level of allocation. Holding it for the past decade (rebalancing as required) would have increased the risk-adjusted returns and lowered volatility.

“Allocating Bitcoin to a portfolio and holding it for the past decade (rebalancing) would have increased the risk-adjusted return at a certain level, in this case, 2.5 percent. However, beyond that allocation level, the portfolio volatility would have been higher; drawdowns greater; the risk-adjusted return would deteriorate.”

So, while gold and Bitcoin are similar in some ways, they are not the same investment. Each has unique characteristics and risks.

The World Gold Council summed it up this way:

“While Bitcoin may bring certain benefits to a diversified portfolio, the data shows that it is not an equivalent investment to gold or substitute for gold as it adds risk through increased volatility and returns comparable to high-risk equity assets.”

Consumer Stress Levels Spiked in July Despite Rosy Economic Forecasts

Consumer Stress Levels Spiked in July Despite Rosy Economic Forecasts

(Mike Maharrey, Money Metals News Service) For a brief moment after the July jobs data came out worse than expected, everybody suddenly worried that the U.S. economy was heading toward a recession. That lasted about two days. Now, the soft landing narrative is back in play, according to mainstream pundits and government officials. 

Normal, everyday people apparently missed the memo.

LegalShield’s Consumer Stress Index rose 5.8 points in July, the biggest single-month jump in over two decades. The index rose to 67.6, the highest level since November 2020 when governments shut down the economy during the pandemic.

LegalShield senior vice president of consumer analytics Matt Layton said, “The picture isn’t as rosy as what the macro-level indicators would lead us to believe.” 

“We’re certainly not in the business of predicting [recessions], but what we can say is that there has been an accumulation of [financial] stress over the last several years. The July surge tells a story of a kitchen table economy that contrasts with key positive macro indicators, including falling producer and consumer inflation and a stock market trading at near record highs.”

Layton said he doesn’t think the July reading was a one-off anomaly.

“Early August data that we’re seeing shows consumer stress consistent with the levels that we reported in July.”

According to LegalShield, the index “examines findings from approximately 150,000 calls received monthly from U.S. consumers seeking legal help,” and is comprised of three subindices: bankruptcies, foreclosures, and consumer finance 

The bankruptcy subindex increased by 6.1 points in July to 35.6. It was the highest level since February 2020 and the largest single-month increase since July of that year. The bankruptcy subindex was up 28.8 percent year over year.

The foreclosure subindex rose 6.0 points to 42.3 in July. That figure was up 2.9 percent year over year, breaking a trend of four months of year-over-year decline. It was the largest single-month increase since November 2020, and the index’s highest level since December 2023. 

The consumer finance subindex moved up 2.4 points to 104.1. This subindex measures intakes related to financial issues such as billing disputes, vehicle repossessions, and payday loans. It was the biggest single-month increase since December 2023. In one bit of good news, the consumer finance subindex was down 3.6 percent year over year. 

Layton said consumers are feeling the stress of long-term price inflation coupled with a higher interest rate environment.

“People don’t call a lawyer because they’re looking for a good time. They call because they’ve got a problem and they’re looking to improve their situation.”

Layton noted that while price inflation appears to be cooling, that doesn’t mean prices are coming down.

“There’s a compounding effect over several years of that higher inflation that is really beginning to show in our data.”

He said expected Federal Reserve rate cuts may provide some relief, but it will take a while for the impact to work its way through the economy.

“A lot of things are going to have to flow through the system until that rate cut gets down to the everyday person living their life and paying their bills.”

Biden Backstabber Nancy Pelosi Targets Another High-Profile Dem.

Biden Backstabber Nancy Pelosi Targets Another High-Profile Dem.

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) In a move reflective of her new book The Art of Power, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took the knives out to target another high-profile Democrat: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul. 

In a 35-minute interview with Politico, Pelosi hinted Thursday that Hochul’s unpopularity was the reason behind Democrats losing their House majority in 2022. 

That year Democrats lost five seats in New York, which helped Republicans secure a majority in the House for the first time since 2016, when Trump was elected president and the GOP controlled both chambers of Congress.

When asked about those losses, Pelosi said they were “related to the gubernatorial race,” pointing to Hochul’s narrow victory over former Rep. Lee Zeldin.

Zeldin mounted a fierce challenge, losing in the closest New York gubernatorial race since 1994, when George Pataki defeated Mario Cuomo. 

When asked if she has spoken to Hochul about avoiding a loss in 2024, Pelosi replied that she had spoken to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., “as recently as this morning.” 

She added, “No, I’ve spoken to the future speaker Hakeem Jeffries about it. We’re optimistic about our races. We will mobilize to win on the ground. We’ll message progressive, bold, but non-menacing, unifying to the country.”

This isn’t the first time Pelosi has criticized Hochul. She reportedly joked with Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y. — one of the Republicans who flipped a district in 2022 — that he and other New York Republicans should thank Hochul for their seats. 

According to Politico, this exchange occurred after President Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union address, which Hochul attended as a guest. 

In response to the jab, Hochul’s spokesperson, Jen Goodman, told Politico that the governor “is committed to taking back the House majority and making Hakeem Jeffries Speaker.” 

In a 2023 interview with The New York Times, Pelosi blamed Hochul for the 2022 losses, citing a failure to address concerns about rampant crime. 

“That is an issue that had to be dealt with early on, not 10 days before the election,” Pelosi said. “The governor didn’t realize soon enough where the trouble was.” 

In her Politico interview, Pelosi warned that New York Republicans should be preparing for defeat in the 2024 election.

In New York, Republicans flipped two seats and retained two Republican-held seats. The New York freshmen are Reps. George Santos (now a former lawmaker), Anthony D’Esposito, Mike Lawler and Nick Lalota.

Soros Surrogates Advance Efforts to Steal Election in Two Swing States

Soros Surrogates Advance Efforts to Steal Election in Two Swing States

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) It was recently revealed that George Soros’s puppets have been trying to steal the 2024 election in two battleground states, Nevada and Michigan.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that the Soros-funded leftist propaganda network Courier Newsroom is ramping up in Nevada, spending a lot of money on anti-Trump digital ads disguised as news articles.

In 2023, Courier added The Nevadan to its roster of local “news” websites, which promote Democratic talking points, deceptive Facebook ads attacking Republicans and promoting Kamala Harris and Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev.

One of their lies was a series of ads in June that stated that Trump would implement mandatory military service for American teenagers if he becomes the president again. He rejected the proposal six days before the propaganda was published.

“Coincidentally,” Courier and its network of 11 local newsrooms are located in swing states. In 2020, a correspondent for the media watchdog NewsGuard called Courier a “clandestine political operation” that has “deceived” voters through its skewed coverage.

“The goal was to get persuadable voters engaged with unassuming content, then feed them political persuasion content, using underwriters who would pay Courier to come up with the content,” a former Courier employee told NOTUS.

Soros’s surrogates, like Michigan’s Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, are also trying to steal the upcoming election.

Just The News reported that the Detroit Department of Elections broke state law by hiring 2,000+ more Democrats than Republicans (nearly 80% more) as poll workers for the August primary election, similar to previous elections over the last four years.

That law says that election clerks must “appoint an equal number, as nearly as possible, of election inspectors in each election precinct from each major political party.”

This stark contrast is nothing new since it has repeatedly occurred in Detroit over the last four years and in Flint in 2022, despite state law requiring nearly equal numbers of poll workers from both political parties.

According to city data shared with the news source, 2,340 Democrats and 308 Republicans worked the Aug. 6, 2024, primary election. Michigan Fair Elections, Pure Integrity Michigan Elections and the Michigan Conservative Coalition obtained and reviewed the data. There were 2,827 workers, making Republicans just 11% of the workers.

Debate Ensues over Mockery of Walz’s Weepy-Eyed Teen Son

Debate Ensues over Mockery of Walz’s Weepy-Eyed Teen Son

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Gus Walz, the 17-year-old son of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, garnered attention on social media after appearing emotional and brimming with joy in viral videos from the Democratic National Convention. 

In one video, Gus is seen standing up and pointing toward his father delivering his DNC speech. “That’s my dad!” Gus murmured as Walz spoke about his children.

On X, commentator Ann Coulter faced criticism after referring to Gus as “weird,” a term that some have used in political attacks against figures like Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio.

Coulter deleted the post after some users pointed out that Gus has a non-verbal learning disorder, although specific details about his condition remain unclear.

Headline USA did not immediately identify any other prominent conservative accounts criticizing Gus, though some leftist pundits claimed such attacks were rampant.

Several conservative users joined the discussion, suggesting that political attacks should be directed at public figures like Vice President Kamala Harris and Walz rather than their children. 

“How does attacking this kid help us win? I think we’re better than that and we should take pride in being better than that,” commented podcast host Shawn Farash, known for his pro-Trump content.  

“I’m not trying to police speech here… but this is my position: There’s PLENTY to hit Harris and Walz on… Attacking the kid is nothing but a distraction and doesn’t help us win at all,” Farash added.

The discussion also brought up past instances where the left has subjected children of conservatives to public scrutiny, such as Barron Trump. 

Some conservatives criticized Ron Filipkowski, editor-in-chief of Meidas Touch, for making inappropriate suggestions about Barron’s health while complaining about attacks against Gus. 

“Remember when you attacked Barron Trump for adoring his father at Trump’s rally? You seem to want to dish it out, but not swallow a dose of your own medicine,” posted controversial journalist Laura Loomer wrote, addressing Filipkowski directly.

Other users suggested that Gus’s sobbing for his dad was somehow indicative of broader fragility among individuals on the left. 

Some individuals shared videos comparing Walz’s peculiar entrance during his DNC speech to that of late fitness personality Richard Simmons.

Others drew parallels between Walz’s walk and that of Bob Currie, a character from the television show Schitt’s Creek. 

SCOTUS Restores Proof of Citizenship Requirement In Swing State’s Voter Law

SCOTUS Restores Proof of Citizenship Requirement In Swing State’s Voter Law

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) On Aug. 22, 2024, after the Republican National Committee and Arizona Republicans made its request, the U.S. Supreme Court revived part of an Arizona voter law requiring documented proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that, in a 5-4 ruling, the justices agreed to reinstate a provision of the law after a federal judge blocked it in response to legal challenges by the anti-American Biden–Harris administration and far-left activists.

The news came before the 2024 election, in which Harris will face Donald Trump.

The state‘s Republican-controlled legislature adopted new voter registration restrictions in 2022. Applicants who submit a federal registration form must provide evidence of American citizenship to vote in presidential elections or vote by mail in any federal election.

Applications from voter registrants who use a separate, state-created form without providing proof of U.S. citizenship would face a minor felony charge under the law.

The news source reported that the court’s ruling revived the restriction on the state voter registration form but kept a judicial decision blocking the provision that sought to tighten limits on the federal form.

When Republican then-governor Doug Ducey signed the legislation in March 2022, he said the measure balanced voting accessibility with election security.

“Election integrity means counting every lawful vote and prohibiting any attempt to illegally cast a vote,” he said.

As expected, the Biden administration sued to block the Arizona law in July 2022, claiming a 1993 federal law supersedes it called the National Voter Registration Act. The law said that states must register voters for federal elections after they submit the federal registration form. The form requires a declaration of U.S. citizenship under penalty of perjury but not documentary proof.

Before the recent SCOTUS ruling, non-citizens were prohibited from voting until September of 2024, which didn’t make sense because they could still vote in the general election.

Arizona, a swing state, is expected to be among the most competitive states in the November election.

According to state data, Arizona had more than 42,000 “federal only” registered voters as of July 1, 2024.

Trump Explains Aversion to Drugs, Alcohol in Candid Interview w/ Comedian Theo Von

Trump Explains Aversion to Drugs, Alcohol in Candid Interview w/ Comedian Theo Von

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Former President Donald Trump revealed in a podcast interview this week with comedian Theo Von that his well-known aversion to drugs, alcohol and cigarettes was influenced by the lifelong struggle with addiction that he witnessed in his older brother, Fred Trump Jr.

“I had a great brother who taught me a lesson: Don’t drink,” said the GOP presidential nominee.

“And he said don’t smoke,” Trump added. “He smoked and he drank … He was quite a bit older. I tell people: no drugs, no drinking, no cigarettes—I tell that to my kids all the time.”

Fred left the family business to become a pilot, which he eventually had to give up due to his alcoholism.

According to Trump, there were several moments where they thought they would lose Fred.

Sadly, he died in 1981—at the age of 42—from a heart attack related to alcohol abuse.

“He was old enough that you would look up to somebody,” Trump recalled. “I admired so much about him—he had the look, unbelievable personality.”

Von and Trump also discussed the difficulties that many people face when recovering from addiction.

“I would say that if I did drink I could conceivably be the type of personality that would have a problem,” Trump said. “The only thing I could say to people is if you don’t drink you don’t miss it—I don’t even think about alcohol or cigarettes, I don’t think about any of that.”

In a viral moment from the interview, Von said he had struggled with drugs and alcohol a great deal over the last 10 years but was two years clean and sober.

He further admitted that he struggled with the temptation to do drugs constantly.

“I would just do cocaine,” he said. “That was really—yeah.”

Trump seemed surprised by the comedian’s candid confession, appearing to turn the interview on Von to grill him about his experiences with the narcotic.

“That’s down and dirty, right?” he said.

 

Von then explained that it eventually became too much for him.

“Some of the stuff started to get a real rattle—I don’t know where we were even getting it from in this country,” he said.

“… It started to make me feel like I was a mechanic or something,” he added. “Cocaine will turn you into a damn owl, homie, you know what I’m saying? You’ll be out on your own porch, you’ll be your own street lamp.”

Matt Walsh Trolls DNC Dressed as ‘White Dude for Harris’ to Promote ‘Racist’ Film

Matt Walsh Trolls DNC Dressed as ‘White Dude for Harris’ to Promote ‘Racist’ Film

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) In order to promote his forthcoming film Am I Racist?, conservative Daily Wire commentator Matt Walsh trolled the Democratic National Convention in Chicago dressed in a “White Dudes for Harris” T-shirt, Townhall reported.

Fully decked out in Democrat- gear, including a “Freedom from Gun Violence” pin, Walsh joined volunteers in handing out cards warning people about the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, which several speakers at the DNC tried to characterize as “Trump’s radical agenda.”

Hilariously, the QR code on the fliers directed people to the trailer for Am I Racist?

He also walked into a shot as CNN host Kaitlan Collins was interviewing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

Despite going in disguise, Walsh’s distintive beard occasionally blew his cover. Leftist Bulwark journalist Joe Perticone even asked him, “Are you Matt Walsh?”

“No I’m not,” Walsh replied. “That man is dead. I’m a new man now.”

Perticone followed up that exchange by penning a lengthy report, attempting to frame Walsh as a misogynist, sexist and even a racist who should not have been allowed into the DNC.

Walsh “regularly dons a similar disguise to film gotcha moments for his ‘documentaries’ lampooning progressives,” he claimed.

Perticone also complained about the fact that several conservatives had sought to infiltrate the DNC audience for the purpose of trolling them.

“[C]learly, there is some concern about under-cover conservative personalities trying to catch convention goers in weird moments,” he complained. “At least two people we tried to interview last night were reluctant to talk because, they said, they’d been told that right-wing media was in the halls trying to dupe them.”

Notably, MyPillow founder Mike Lindell went undercover by omission—shaving off his distinctive mustache in a viral video that saw him clash with Gen-Z TikTok influencer Harry Sisson during an appearance on Real America’s Voice.

In the video, War Room host Natalie Winters urges Lindell to ask the young soyboy whether he had received his complimentary vasectomy.

Another RAV personality, Human Events host Jack Posobiec, also went viral for a confrontation with former Attorney General Eric Holder, who has been a lead adviser for the Harris campaign.

Posobiec asked Obama’s longtime wingman why he had failed to vet vice presidential running mate Tim Walz’s controversial “stolen valor” claims.

Holder responded with an expletive.

Despite Perticone’s objections, some social-media users defended Walsh’s presence at the event and noted that it was not at all abnormal.

According to one X user, Walsh broke no laws in his attendance of the DNC because he “was allowed in to a place there was no reason to keep him out of, where he proceeded to do nothing wrong.”
