President Donald Trump called for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to be charged for the attempt against his life at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner last month.

“This lunatic, Hakeem ‘Low IQ’ Jeffries, should be charged with INCITING VIOLENCE! The Radical Left Democrats actually want to Destroy our Country,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

He attached a photo of Jeffries calling for “Maximum warfare” three days before the shooting, emblazoning the phrase over a picture of Trump.

A federal judge openly apologized in court to the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump after defense attorneys raised concerns about his treatment inside a Washington, D.C., jail.

During a May 4 hearing, Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui, who donated to Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign, questioned jail officials about the “conditions” facing defendant Cole Tomas Allen.

Allen is being held ahead of trial on attempted assassination charges.

D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who was present at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and is prosecuting shooter Cole Allen (pictured above), stated emphatically that Allen was certainly aiming to kill not only Trump administration officials, but anyone who stood in his way, including the Secret Service agent who took a bullet.

While speaking with CNN’s Jake Tapper on State of the Union Pirro discussed the evidence definitively proving that the bullet that embedded itself in a Secret Service agent’s body armor came from Allen’s shotgun.

GLOBAL OUTLOOK

  1. COMEY’S 86 47 GETS INDICTED – The Department of Justice has garnered two new indictments targeting former FBI Director James Comey. The indictments are connected to a social media post by Comey that showed seashells on the beach laid out to signal “86 47.” One charge is “knowingly and willfully making a threat to take the life of — and to inflict bodily harm on — the president.” The second charge is “knowingly and willfully transmitting in interstate commerce a threat to kill the president.”
  2. CHARLES STEALTH BOMBS TRUMP IN CONGRESS – Using extremely veiled language, Charles III, King of Britian, appeared to tell the U.S. congress Trump should end the war in Iran and stop deportations. Progressives tend to agree with this assessment, claiming Charles “owned” Trump in front of congress.

This is our interpretation after reading between the two clear focal points of his speech, diversity and religious tolerance, both target Trump deportations of immigrants and his war on Islamist Iran.

HEADLINES MISSED

  1. MALI BUCKLES, RUSSIA WITHDRAWS – After Islamists led a successful offensive across Mali, Russian forces withdrew, while junta forces failed to stop the assaults. Not only did the Islamists successfully disrupt multiple cities, but they also killed the country’s defense minister and gained territory in northern areas. The assault puts the junta’s power in jeopardy, especially given Russia’s disengagement.
  2. CHINA’S MANTUS CUT OFF FROM U.S. PURCHASE – China has made a decisive move in the emerging AI race and war with the U.S., halting the purchase of a Chinese-created AI-agent company called Manus. The purchaser was the U.S.’s Meta. China did not offer an explanation, though it reflect AI nationalization trends both in China and in general.

PEOPLE ADVANCE

  1. TWO BIGS GERRYMANDER WINS FOR GOP – The Virginia Supreme Court continues to refuse to certify the special election that saw the Progressives win the “right” to use gerrymandering to eliminate 4 GOP U.S. House Seats. SCOTUS has confirmed the Texas gerrymander map that switches 5 Democrat-held seats to 5 likely GOP seats. In Florida, a gerrymander plan is advancing in the legislature that would net the GOP 4 more seats in the U.S. House.
  2. AI CREATES 1K JOBS AT SALESFORCE – Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff announced online plans to hire 1000 new college graduates to drive the “exponential” potential of AI. He said in his X post, “… they said AI would kill entry-level jobs. Meanwhile these grads & interns are building it.”

Two days after the White House Correspondents Dinner shooting and people are stumbling all over each other to congratulate the Secret Service over its outstanding performance.

Yesterday we received here at AT an email from the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association with congrats for:

the extraordinary actions of the United States Secret Service and partnering federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies…

During the high-profile event at the Washington Hilton, an armed suspect allegedly forced his way toward a secured area and opened fire, prompting an immediate response from law enforcement personnel on scene. Within seconds, Secret Service agents and other officers engaged the suspect, returned fire, and subdued him before he could reach the main ballroom where the President, senior administration officials, and hundreds of attendees were gathered.

That sentiment was echoed by none other than Barack Obama: “It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them.”

Also heard from was Little Timmy Walz, enforcer for the Somalian benefits theft cartel in Minnesota: “I’m grateful for the swift response from law enforcement at White House Correspondents’ dinner.”

The man accused of opening fire during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is now facing a sweeping set of federal charges, including an alleged attempt to assassinate President Donald Trump, as officials laid out new details Monday about the lead-up to the attack.

Cole Allen appeared in federal court in Washington for the first time but did not enter a plea. Prosecutors say he is also facing two additional firearms-related charges.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stood alongside FBI Director Kash Patel and U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro to announce the charges, underscoring the severity of what authorities say was a direct threat against the president and top officials.

According to an FBI affidavit, Allen traveled cross-country by train from Los Angeles to Washington in the days leading up to the event. He checked into the Washington Hilton one day before the dinner, where thousands of journalists, lawmakers and high-profile guests were set to gather.

EXCERPT:

Cole Thomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, has been identified by multiple media outlets as the suspect in custody following the Saturday shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, attended by US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

According to CNN, Allen had shared posts comparing Trump to Hitler and even called upon others who criticised his presidency to purchase guns. His activity on social media ranged from posts about video games to angry political messages.

The postings on his handles appear to mirror sentiments from a message Allen allegedly sent to family members prior to the attack, in which he outlined a plan to target Trump administration officials and voiced his grievances over their conduct.

Moreover, investigators told the publication that Allen showed ‘animosity’ towards Trump and his administration.

Now that we have the full manifesto of the man who tried to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, we know what we probably could have known from the start: He was an unsound man who was egged on by the conspiracy theories of the left.

Calling Trump “a pedophile, rapist, and traitor” — clearly, ideas taken from the fever swamps of the Jeffrey Epstein-baiting podcast class — Cole Tomas Allen, in the missive sent to family and friends, wrote that he was “no longer willing to permit” the president “to coat my hands with his crimes.”

I am giving Mr. Allen more credit for sense than he deserves by adumbrating his violence-excusing blather. After all, one cannot take seriously a manifesto that ends with “Can’t really recommend it! Stay in school, kids.” Allen, who was a teacher and engineer before he almost certainly signed himself up to spend a hefty chunk of the rest of his life behind bars, probably isn’t going to inspire too many people with those words, or with this sort of thing:

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made clear Monday that Democrat rhetoric is partly to blame for the violent acts directed at President Donald Trump and his supporters.

The Justice Department charged 31-year-old Cole Allen with three felony counts, including attempted assassination, after the California man allegedly charged a security checkpoint and opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner Saturday night at the Washington Hilton Hotel.

Allen sent a manifesto to some of his family members regurgitating stuff that sounds right out of Democrat talking points. Allen also attended at least one “No Kings” rally in Los Angeles, which is an event put together by former Democratic Capitol Hill staffers.

The event organizers described the one last June on Trump’s birthday, posting on their website, “No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism — and show the world what democracy really looks like.”

It’s been 48 hours since the attempted assassination of President Trump and senior Cabinet officials at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Sadly, one network endeavors to deemphasize the words contained within the shooter’s manifesto, and hide his leanings from viewer consideration.

Watch as correspondent Matt Gutman papers over all of these important insights into the shooter, reducing his statements to his mockery of the security arrangements outside the D.C. Hilton:

MATT GUTMAN: In an email to family timed to be sent just before the incident, police say the suspect himself expressed surprise at the security footprint. He wrote “I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat. The security at the event is all outside… because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.”

EXCERPT:

Speaking with CNN’s Manu Raju, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker discussed political violence in America after the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The problem with his remarks is that he decided to blame the president, despite this being the third assassination attempt on his life. Rather than call out the left, which is the side largely responsible for much of the political violence in this country, he decided to slander Conservatives, as he failed to acknowledge any form of self-reflection.

According to Pritzker, it is the president who calls for political violence against the other side, so much so that he has called for jailing his political opponents. The problem with this, however, is that reality proves otherwise, so much so that the level of projection in his remarks is unbelievable.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation declined to end a lawsuit blocking President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project after acting Attorney General Todd Blanche used a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to call on the litigation to be dropped.

“I write to acknowledge receipt of your letter requesting that the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States (“National Trust”) dismiss the above-captioned lawsuit,” National Trust senior counsel Gregory B. Craig confirmed to Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate in a letter on Monday. “The National Trust respectfully declines the invitation to dismiss.”

“The National Trust’s filings have repeatedly insisted that any injunction on ballroom construction nonetheless permit work to continue on the below-ground bunker construction you have represented to the Court is necessary to preserve national security,” the letter continued. “What Saturday’s awful event does not change is that the Constitution and multiple federal statutes require Congress to authorize construction of a ballroom on White House grounds, and that Congress has not done so.”

“Equally clear is that nothing in this lawsuit puts the personal safety of the President, his family, or his staff in any jeopardy. Indeed, after reviewing multiple secret security submissions by your office, the court concluded that the absence of a White House ballroom is not a matter of national security permitting those federal laws to be ignored.”

Monday morning, First Lady Melania Trump urged ABC to pull the plug on late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel  in her first public statement reacting to his badly timed “joke” referring to her as “an expectant widow.”

The First Lady, along with President Trump,  Vice President JD Vance, and other top administration officials had to be evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., Saturday night, when 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, stormed a security checkpoint armed with a 12-gauge shotgun, a .38-caliber handgun, and multiple knives.

The suspect, who had booked a room at the hotel, fired at least one shot during an exchange with law enforcement before being tackled and apprehended near the ballroom entrance. One Secret Service agent was struck in the chest but sustained no serious injury due to a bullet-resistant vest; there were no other injuries.

Attendees, including journalists and Cabinet members, ducked under tables as Secret Service agents secured the area. Trump later stated he was instructed to go down on the floor and was escorted out, appearing to crawl during the evacuation.

The shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night has renewed the fervor of another debate raging in the nation’s capital.

On Sunday morning, President Trump made a post on Truth Social renewing his call to complete the White House ballroom, a project that has been halted due to an ongoing lawsuit.

‘The White House ballroom is essential for the safety and security of the president, his family, his Cabinet, and his staff.’

Trump argued that the shooting over the weekend demonstrates why the president needs a secure venue to host large events.

“What happened last night is exactly the reason that our great Military, Secret Service, Law Enforcement and, for different reasons, every President for the last 150 years, have been DEMANDING that a large, safe, and secure Ballroom be built ON THE GROUNDS OF THE WHITE HOUSE,” Trump wrote. “This event would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House. It cannot be built fast enough!”

Days After NYT Excused Murder, Would-Be Assassin Went For Trump– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

A would-be assassin with reported intent to target the Trump administration was caught on video charging through a security checkpoint during an event attended by the president and members of his cabinet. This marks yet another assassination attempt against Donald Trump, and like the others, Saturday’s attempt did not happen in a vacuum.

Just days before the attempted assassination, Marxist streamer Hasan Piker defended Luigi Mangione’s December 2024 alleged murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson during an interview with the New York Times (NYT). He invoked Friedrich Engels’ concept of “social murder” to suggest that Thompson was guilty of “systematized forms of violence” through the health care system.

According to Piker, Thompson was “engaging in a tremendous amount of social murder.”

It was stunning commentary to say the least. But what was more shocking was that the Times’ Nadja Spiegelman described the interview as a “lively” exchange. There was no pushback against Piker’s defense and justification of murder, just the Times lending its name-brand “credibility” to the idea that some killings are justifiable.
