[Update]  Corey Comperatore Died Shielding Wife And Daughter With His Body, During Failed Assassination Attempt On Trump By A Far-left Biden Supporter

 

Photos were shared on social media of Corey Comperatore, 50, the man who was killed during a failed assassination attempt by a Pennsylvanian man on Trump at a rally in Butler, on July 13. As his last heroic act, the former fireman reportedly used his body to shield his wife and daughter during the mayhem and sacrificed his life.

Comperatore's daughter Allyson took to social media to leave a heart-felt message. "...What was supposed to be an exciting day that we had all looked forward to (ESPECIALLY my dad), turned into the most traumatizing experiences someone could imagine."

His sister, Dawn Comperatore Schafer, wrote in a Facebook post that Corey "was a hero that shielded his daughters."

"His wife and girls just lived through the unthinkable and unimaginable," Dawn Comperatore Schafer wrote. "My baby brother just turned 50 and had so much life left to experience. Hatred has no limits and love has no bounds. Pray for my sister-in-law, nieces, my mother, sister, me and his nieces and nephews as this feels like a terrible nightmare but we know it is our painful reality."

Two other people injured during Saturday's shooting are reportedly in critical but stable condition.

Reacting to Saturday's incident, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer wrote on X, "I am appalled by the shocking scenes at President Trump's rally and we send him and his family our best wishes. Political violence in any form has no place in our societies and my thoughts are with all the victims of this attack."


Former President Donald Trump was shot in an apparent failed assassination attempt, as he was speaking during a campaign rally at Butler Farm Show grounds, in Butler, Pennsylvania. Two attendees were critically injured, one killed, and the assassin, Thomas Matthews Crooks, 20, was shot dead on an elevated roof overseeing the stage on which the former president was speaking.

Trump had just begun to fire up the crowd when as many as 7 shots were heard. "And then the worst president in the history of our country took over. And look what happened to our country. Probably 20 million people [came in illegally]. And, you know, that's a little bit old, that chart... that chart's a couple of months old. And if you want to really see something that sad, take a look at what happened over..." the former president said before the gunfire rang out, and he went down, surrounded by Secret Service agents.

Shooter In Attempted Trump Assassination, Had Explosives In His Car And Home

Crooks, a Bethel Park, Butler man of Scottish Jewish root opened fire with a rifle about 130 meters from the stage where Trump was speaking.

Local law enforcement reportedly alerted the Secret Service earlier about Crooks suspicious movement. And other eyewitnesses reported suspicions about him. Explosive devices were later discovered at the shooter's vehicle at a park near the rally location, and at his house.

A video, filmed from the audience, shows Trump on stage speaking. Within a few seconds someone can be heard shouting: “He’s got a gun!” Another shouted, "he's on the roof!"

A voice could be heard advising others not to go near the building on which the shooter is situated.

Within seconds it’s evident that the shooter had been neutralized. “He’s dead. I just seen his hair go up. They shot him in the head,” someone says.

As they led him away, with what appeared to be blood on his cheek and his right ear, Trump was heard telling his security team, "let me get my shoes," as they brought him to his feet and hustled him off-stage. The former president, bleeding, then raised his arms defiantly chanting "fight, fight" to the crowd as they erupted in chants of "USA USA."

The former president escaped death by mere milimeters by turning his head while he was speaking, as the bullet grazed his cheek near the right ear.

An eyewitness told BBC that he saw the shooter on the elevated roof, and unsuccessfully tried to warn Secret Service agents and police officers standing yards away.

The U.S. Secret Services said in a press release, that the suspected shooter fired from an "elevated position" and killed at least one person and "critically injured" 2 others.

Commenting on the incident later in a Truth Social post, Trump wrote: "I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear," he said. "I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"

 
 

Former First Lady Melania Trump Says She Looked On In Horror As Assassin Tried To Take Out Her Husband Trump

 

Trump's wife and former First lady Melania Trump said in statement posted on X, that the shooter was "a monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine" who attempted to "ring out Donald's passion -- his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration."

Melania said she looked on in horror as the shooter allegedly tried to take out her husband during the event. "When I watched that violent bullet strike my husband, Donald, I realized my life, and Barron's life, were on the brink of devastating change," she wrote, adding that her husband is a generous and caring man.

She paid tribute to Secret Service agents and law enforcement officials who "risked their own lives" to protect her husband, and honored the victims, including one person who was fatally struck. 

"To the families of the innocent victims who are now suffering from this heinous act, I humbly offer my sincerest sympathy. Your need to summon your inner strength for such a terrible reason saddens me."

Melania said that America is a unique nation and that courage and common sense must ascend and "bring us back together as one."

"I am thinking of you, now, my fellow Americans," she wrote. "Dawn is here again. Let us reunite. Now."

"An incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania," Guglielmi said. "The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former President is safe. This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available."

Trump's communication director, Steven Cheung, said: "President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act. He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility."

In a statement, President Biden said that he has been briefed on the incident: "I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania. I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information. Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it."

Trump, 78, has since been released from the hospital after surviving the assassination attempt, and he's arrived at his New Jersey residence. He has reportedly spoke with Biden by phone.

Responding to appeals by some of his X followers to beef up his own security, Tesla CEO  Elon Musk revealed recent attempts on his life "Dangerous times ahead," he wrote. "Two people (separate occasions) have already tried to kill me in the past 8 months. They were arrested with guns about 20 mins drive from Tesla HQ in Texas."

The SpaceX chief also called for the firing of woke Secret Service chief Kim Cheatle who had on several occassion reportedly refused to allocate more security personnel to Trump.

Steven Woodrow, a far-left Democrat congressman from Colorado, has since deleted his X account following online backlash to his disgusting reaction to the assassination attempt on Republican presidential candidate Trump.

"The last America needed was sympathy for the devil but here we are," he wrote.

Beachgoer's Sandwich Snatched By Bold Seagull

Jersey Shore beachgoer Victoria Shannon Reed was filming herself while unpacking and eating her sandwich on July 19, when all of a sudden, a seagull swooped in, and grabbed the entire sandwich.

“I knew the seagulls were aggressive,” Reed acknowledged. Seagulls at Wildwood Crest Beach are notoriously aggressive, and also very, very hungry.

“It scared me and caused me to scream, become completely stunned,” Reed said.

Apparently the seagull was not in the mood to wait until after she filmed the mukbang.

Trump, EU Chief Announce Trade Deal: 'Biggest Deal Ever Made'

U.S. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a significant trade deal Sunday, between the United States and the European Union, following high-stakes negotiations in Scotland, just days before a 30% tariff on European imports was due to take effect.

The announcement was made at Trump's golf course in Turnberry, Scotland, following intense negotiations that both leaders described as requiring substantial effort. The agreement marks a pivotal step in addressing long-standing trade imbalances between the two economic powers.

Trump described the agreement as the "biggest deal ever made," while von der Leyen emphasized the stability and predictability it brings.

The deal establishes a uniform 15% tariff on automobiles and other goods traded between the U.S. and the EU. President Trump emphasized that this tariff structure would create a level playing field, particularly for U.S. exports. He noted that European markets, previously largely closed to American products, would now be more accessible, especially for U.S. agriculture and other industries.

In addition to the tariff agreement, von der Leyen revealed that the EU would purchase $150 billion worth of U.S. energy as part of the deal. This commitment is complemented by $600 billion in other investments into the U.S. economy, signaling a significant economic partnership aimed at fostering mutual growth and cooperation.

The announcement followed a press conference where both leaders initially expressed uncertainty about reaching an agreement, estimating the odds at 50-50. Trump acknowledged the historically strong relationship with the EU but criticized past trade practices as "one-sided" and unfair to the U.S., particularly due to trade deficits.

Von der Leyen echoed Trump’s sentiments, emphasizing the need for a "rebalancing" of the bilateral trade relationship, which is worth billions annually. She acknowledged the EU’s trade surplus with the U.S. and agreed that the deal was a step toward fairness, addressing the deficit that has long been a point of contention.

The negotiations, described as requiring "heavy lifting," reflect the complexity of aligning the interests of two major global economies. Both leaders expressed satisfaction with the outcome, with von der Leyen highlighting the deal’s potential to strengthen transatlantic economic ties.

This agreement represents a significant shift in U.S.-EU trade relations, aiming to create a more balanced and equitable framework. By addressing tariffs, market access, and substantial investments, the deal sets the stage for enhanced cooperation and economic integration between the U.S. and the EU.

Arizona Woman Sentenced To 8.5 years In North Korea $17M Laptop Farm Fraud

In a significant crackdown on North Korea’s illicit IT worker scheme, a U.S. District Court sentenced Arizona resident Christina Marie Chapman to eight and a half years in prison for operating a laptop farm that facilitated the scheme.

Chapman, aged 50, pleaded guilty in February to charges of wire fraud, money laundering, and identity theft after the FBI uncovered her pivotal role in enabling North Korean operatives to secure high-paying IT jobs at major U.S. companies using stolen identities.

The operation was extensive, assisting North Korean IT workers in obtaining employment at 309 companies, including prominent organizations such as a major television network, a car manufacturer, a media company, and a Silicon Valley tech firm. The scheme also involved unsuccessful attempts to infiltrate two U.S. government agencies, highlighting the audacity and scope of the operation.

The mechanics of the fraud involved North Korean operatives using fake identities to secure remote IT positions, with work laptops shipped to Chapman’s Arizona home. From there, she facilitated daily remote access to the IT networks of the unsuspecting U.S. companies, allowing the North Korean workers to perform their roles covertly from abroad.

In October 2023, the FBI raided Chapman’s home, seizing over 90 laptops used in the scheme. She also shipped 49 laptops to overseas locations, including a Chinese city near the North Korean border, further enabling the remote work arrangement. Her operation generated approximately $17 million for the North Korean government, marking it as one of the largest such schemes prosecuted by the Department of Justice.

Chapman’s role extended to managing the financial aspects of the fraud. She used 68 stolen identities to forge payroll checks and handle wages through direct deposits, subsequently transferring the funds to overseas recipients. She also reported millions in income to the IRS under the names of the identity theft victims, further concealing the scheme’s true nature.

U.S. District Court Judge Randolph Moss sentenced Chapman to 102 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. She was ordered to forfeit nearly $300,000 intended for North Korea and to pay a fine exceeding $175,000.

Chapman’s arrest in May 2024 was part of a broader U.S. effort to dismantle the North Korean IT worker network, which also involved the arrest of a Ukrainian accomplice, Oleksandr Didenko, in Poland, with extradition to the U.S. pending.

The scheme’s broader implications were underscored by its ties to North Korea’s Munitions Industry Department, which oversees the country’s ballistic missile and weapons programs.

The North Korean operatives, posing as software developers under aliases like Jiho Han, Chunji Jin, and Haoran Xu, exploited remote work trends post-pandemic, using artificial intelligence to craft convincing resumes and navigate job interviews, often stealing sensitive data or cryptocurrency if detected.

The sentencing coincided with multiple U.S. actions against the scheme, including sanctions on three senior North Korean officials and a $15 million reward for information on six others.

The FBI, alongside other agencies, has been pursuing these networks for nearly three years, as North Korea continues to exploit remote IT roles across regions like China, Russia, and Southeast Asia to fund its nuclear weapons program, victimizing American citizens and businesses in the process.
